Crimson Steps: The Dancer of Blood

第1話 Celestial Dance of the War God

　　Chapter 1 Zhou Yun

　　In the depths of winter, snow was falling everywhere, and the whole city was covered in silver as far as the eye could see.

　　It was evening, the setting sun was fading, and a hint of red glow from the setting sun appeared at the end of the snow line, which was indescribably beautiful.

　　In the vast sea of ​​snow, wisps of smoke rise up, making the entire city even more charming.

　　This place is a medium-sized city in the northwest inland of the Tianyuan Dynasty. It is called Heyang and belongs to Tianhe Province of the Tianyuan Dynasty. It is one of the important rice-producing cities in the Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　Thirty years ago, the Jin Dynasty was in chaos, the monarch was incompetent, corrupt officials were rampant in the localities, land was annexed, the people were living in misery, the Central Plains was in turmoil, disasters were rampant, and dragons and snakes emerged from the land.

　　In the midst of chaos, the current ruler, Li, rose up and fought for ten years before clearing the chaos and establishing the Tianyuan Dynasty. Now, after thirty years of ruling the world, it is the time for the whole country to be revitalized and everything to be renewed.

　　China was newly settled, and its foundation was unstable. Surrounding countries such as Hulun, Persia, Inca, Fengshen, and Nissan were eyeing it covetously, which led to a martial spirit in the entire Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　The sons of common people without titles all strived to join the army, make achievements, and be promoted to higher positions. This led to the flourishing martial arts academies and martial arts halls in various places.

　　The Menghu Martial Arts Hall located in the south of Heyang City is a place that was established in such an environment to train military reserve talents.

　　At this moment, the sun has gradually set, and the students in the martial arts hall have already gone home. However, in the third-year class of the Tiger Martial Arts Hall, the sound of steady reading can still be heard.

　　"In the art of war, one must have a thousand chariots, a thousand leather chariots, a hundred thousand soldiers, and a thousand miles of food supply. The expenses for internal and external affairs, guests, glue and paint, and chariots and armor will cost a thousand gold coins a day, and then an army of a hundred thousand can be raised."

　　Through the half-open window, one could see a slightly frail figure sitting upright in front of a wooden table, with a serious expression, a book in hand, as if he was deeply studying the meaning of scriptures.

　　This person's name is Zhou Yun, and he is a third-year student at the Tiger Martial Arts School. Zhou Yun studied so hard in order to prepare for the martial arts exam in seven days.

　　Zhou Yun was dressed in a green coarse cloth. Although he was thin, he looked calm and resolute. His eyes were bright and transparent. He was quite a handsome man.

　　After reading a paragraph, Zhou Yun closed the book and stood up, with a trace of melancholy on his brow. "Mobilizing a hundred thousand troops, equipping them with vehicles and ships, raising money and food, setting up camps, and paying for military pay, all of these are huge expenses, but how can we support them?"

　　Zhou Yun was a servant of the famous Qin family in Heyang City. He was dependent on the Qin family and was actually a servant. He was supported by the Qin family and earned a living by selling his labor. In times of war, he even had to wear armor and serve as a family soldier of the Qin family. Such servants had always had no status.

　　If one wants to break away from the Qin family, he must join the army, make achievements, and be rewarded by the emperor and given a promotion and title.

　　The social hierarchy in the Tianyuan Dynasty was extremely strict. Below the royal family were princes and kings of different surnames, and below them were the three ranks of duke, marquis, and earl. Next were aristocratic families, prominent families, and dignitaries.

　　The Qin family is a prominent family in Heyang City. The two sons of the Qin family head served in the Tianyuan Dynasty and were appointed as generals, commanding 5,000 soldiers and holding a prominent position. Before retiring, the old man of the Qin family was a founding hero of the Tianyuan Dynasty and a general of the cavalry under the general Li Qingfang, the Zhenbei general, commanding 20,000 soldiers and enjoying great glory.

　　Now Zhou Yun only wants to join the army as soon as possible, make achievements and receive rewards, so that he can take good care of his sister and set up a memorial tablet for his parents with a legitimate reason, so that his parents no longer have to continue to be exposed to the wind and sun on the mass grave.

　　"Zhou Yun, so you are here, why don't you go home?" Just as Zhou Yun was lost in thought, a hearty voice came into his ears, and a tall young man also walked into the school.

　　The man was wearing a brocade robe embroidered with eagle patterns, his long hair was tied up with a brocade belt, he had a moonlight pure steel belt around his waist, and wolf-skin boots on his feet. He had a sharp gaze and an extraordinary bearing.

　　Seeing the person coming, Zhou Yun smiled and said, "The military examination is coming up soon. I want to take a look at the art of war. It's not possible to join the army without knowing the art of war. How come you are here, Master Li?"

　　"What Mr. Li? Just call me Li Yi. If you keep being so polite to me, I won't pay any attention to you anymore." With a hint of false complaint flashing across his face, Li Yi stepped forward and said.

　　"You and I have different statuses, so it's better to follow the rules. Otherwise, if others see us, it will be difficult for me to explain." He closed the book in his hand and quickly packed up his things while speaking.

　　"There's really nothing I can do about you. Go home quickly. I went into the mountains to hunt a musk deer today and sent it to your house. Xiaoxue must have prepared dinner by now. She asked me to call you. Hurry up." Li Yi pouted helplessly and went straight forward to help Zhou Yun pack up his things. The two of them left the school together.

　　The Xiaoxue that Li Yi mentioned is Zhou Yun’s sister Zhou Xue. After their parents passed away, the two depended on each other, and Zhou Xue took good care of Zhou Yun.

　　Although they were servants, Zhou Yun's parents were both educated. Under their parents' careful teaching, Zhou Xue and Zhou Yun were different from other servants in the Qin family. Zhou Yun was handsome, smart and courageous, while Zhou Xue was also beautiful and docile.

　　Li Yi was attracted by Zhou Xue's talent, beauty and personality, and pursued her persistently, while also taking good care of Zhou Yun.

　　The Tiger Martial Hall is outside the city on the west side of Heyang City, and is also some distance away from the Qin Mansion. Along the way, Zhou Yun and Li Yi walked quickly, leaving only a series of shallow footprints in the snow. The wind blew the snow, which fell on the two of them, naturally bringing a hint of frightening coldness.

　　Li Yi was wearing a tight brocade robe, so he didn't feel cold. Zhou Yun, who was wearing a thin piece of coarse cloth, was not afraid of the cold at all.

　　While walking, Li Yi looked at Zhou Yun beside him and said with emotion, "Zhou Yun, your cultivation has probably almost reached the peak of skin training. Your cultivation is unique in the Tiger Martial Arts Hall. Even compared with those rich young masters in the Maple Forest Martial Arts Academy, you are probably not inferior."

　　The martial arts of the present age are divided into five levels from bottom to top, following the path of training the tendons, bones and skin on the outside and the organs, marrow and blood on the inside. The martial artist trains the skin, the warrior trains the bones, the martial arts master trains the tendons, the innate martial arts master trains the organs and blood, and the martial saint trains the marrow and the Yijing.

　　Zhou Yun is currently in the stage of training his martial arts skills.

　　After hearing what Li Yi said, Zhou Yun did not answer directly, but just smiled slightly in response.

　　"With your level of cultivation, there is actually no need for you to take part in the martial arts examination. Wouldn't it be better if I recommend you and you can join the army directly? Why bother wasting time in the martial arts hall?" Seeing Zhou Yun's look, Li Yi spoke with some complaint.

　　In Heyang, the Li family was also one of the great families, and their status was even higher than that of the Qin family. In the previous dynasty, the Li family was a major silver merchant in Tianhe Province. When the Tianyuan Dynasty started, they provided financial support and made contributions to the establishment of the dynasty. After the founding of the country, they were named a noble family. Although they were a family of merchants for generations, they also had a superior status in Tianhe Province.

　　Seeing Li Yi complaining like this, Zhou Yun finally showed a smile on his face, "What's wrong? You can't wait? If you really want to marry my sister, then help her redeem herself and set up a household, why bother to rush me? It will be faster to be recommended by you, but it will inevitably be a stain if I want to get promoted in the future."

　　In fact, Zhou Yun knew Li Yi's thoughts. Li Yi loved Zhou Yun's sister Zhou Xue, but Zhou Xue was a servant of the Qin family. The status of a servant was even lower than that of a commoner. Li Yi was a child of an aristocratic family. If he married Zhou Xue, who was a servant, as his wife, it would be difficult to convince the public, and the old man of the Li family would not agree.

　　Li Yi was unwilling to marry Zhou Xue as his concubine. Zhou Yun could also see that Li Yi truly loved his sister.

　　That's why Li Yi wanted to recommend Zhou Yun to join the army as soon as possible and establish meritorious service. As long as he could serve in the army for three full years, Zhou Yun could get rid of his status as a servant and start his own business. In the future, he could even establish meritorious service again and be named a noble.

　　At that time, Li Yi was thinking of marrying Zhou Xue, and the gap between their social classes would not have been so huge.

　　Seeing through her thoughts, Li Yiying's face flushed with anger. "I helped your sister to redeem herself and get married, but that's nothing. It's just a cover-up. If my father knew about it, wouldn't he break my legs? So I can only ask you for help, Zhou Yun. You should work harder and join the army and get out of the Qin family, so that I can marry your sister. Xiaoxue is seventeen years old this year, and she can't wait for a few more years."

　　Although he was in an awkward situation, Li Yi was a quick-witted person and he immediately thought of a way to fight back.

　　Shaking his head helplessly, Zhou Yun said, "Okay, I'll make a note of this. I can join the army after I pass the military examination in seven days. If I can pass the military examination directly, I can immediately register as a resident."

　　Zhou Yun supported his sister and Li Yi's relationship. Although Li Yi did not join the army, he had some accomplishments and was considered a decent person who valued friendship and loyalty. Zhou Yun also agreed that his sister could find such a person.

　　"Haha, that's good. Let's go quickly. Your sister must be waiting anxiously. I brought a jar of good wine today. Let's have a couple of drinks." After hearing Zhou Yun's assurance, a smile immediately appeared on Li Yi's face. He put his hand on Zhou Yun's shoulder and walked forward quickly.

　　They walked forward in the wind and snow, and soon they arrived at the back door of the Qin mansion.

　　As a servant, Zhou Yun could not enter the Qin family through the front door without the Qin family's permission or to help on special occasions. Although Li Yi had a high status, he did not mind entering the Qin family through the back door with Zhou Yun.

　　"Xiaoyun is back. You must work hard in the martial arts exam."

　　"Xiao Yun, it's not easy to pass the martial arts exam. You have to work hard."

　　Seeing Zhou Yun coming in, some elders among the Qin family's servants greeted Zhou Yun with concern. As their parents passed away early, Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue had suffered some hardships in the Qin family. These servants, who were also servants, had also given them a lot of help.

　　Being able to break away from the status of servants has always been the ideal of these Qin family servants. Now, Zhou Yun, whom they have watched grow up, is expected to do so. Naturally, these people are full of joy and blessings. However, due to Li Yi's high status, these servants did not dare to talk to him, but only bowed respectfully.

　　Three years ago, Zhou Yun showed his talent in the Qin family's servant selection, and was sent to the Tiger Martial Hall. His sister Zhou Xue was also relieved of the heavy labor in the mansion.

　　Now, the Zhou siblings live a pretty good life.

　　They thanked each other repeatedly along the way, and in a moment, they had arrived at the small courtyard area where the servants lived.

　　From a distance, Zhou Yun saw that the door of his house was open, and there was a trace of blood and energy floating inside. Feeling something unusual, Zhou Yun and Li Yi's faces changed, and they immediately ran over quickly.

　　I'm a newbie, and I'm begging for flowers, VIPs, and collections. Thank you all.

　　Chapter 2 Aristocratic Family

　　"I've said it before, you and I just met by chance and have no friendship at all, and I am of low status, so it's really inconvenient for me to attend the banquet. Please don't force me, Mr. Zhao." In the courtyard, a girl in white clothes was standing alone in front of the door, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and it was obvious that she didn't like the people in front of her.

　　Although there was a hint of anger on her face, there was still a gentle and virtuous temperament in the girl's eyes and eyebrows, like a pure white lotus. One glance at her made people feel peaceful and could not help but yearn for her.

　　"Haha, young lady, there is no need to refuse. If I, Zhao Guang, want you to go, you will naturally go. To be honest, I am the second son of the Zhao family, a great family in Tianhe Province. The Zhao family and the Qin family are related through marriage, and the relationship between the two families is very good. With this relationship, it will be easy for me to help you redeem yourself and set up a household. I met you by chance today, and we get along very well. I would like to have a chance to have a chat with you under the moonlight. Please don't refuse." In the courtyard, a young man in a red leopard-patterned brocade robe was standing there, speaking earnestly.

　　The young man wore a hair crown that climbed to the sky, a blue belt around his waist, and a cheetah head embroidered on his chest, which made him look very majestic. Just by looking at his clothes, you could tell that he came from a noble family. The Tianyuan Dynasty had a very strict hierarchy, and only the children of noble families with military commanders in office could wear brocade robes embroidered with cheetah patterns.

　　Li Yi is also from an aristocratic family, but his family has no military commanders, so he can only wear brocade robes with eagle patterns.

　　"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhao, for your kindness. I should not accept gifts without merit. Mr. Zhao's banquet is too grand, and I am afraid I cannot afford it. Besides, my brother will be back soon, and I have to take care of his daily life. It is really inconvenient for me to go out. Mr. Zhao, please go back." The woman standing in front of the door was Zhou Yun's sister Zhou Xue. She had just asked Li Yi to go to the martial arts hall to call Zhou Yun back, and she gave some of the prepared musk deer meat to the servants of the Qin family who had taken care of her and her brother before. However, she did not expect to meet Zhao Guang on her way back, and was chased into the yard where she lived after being entangled all the way.

　　Judging from the time, Zhou Yun should be back soon. Zhou Xue's calm face showed a hint of disgust, and she couldn't help but order him to leave.

　　After being rejected repeatedly by Zhou Xue, Zhao Guang became a little angry for a moment and stopped talking. Zhao Guang fell silent.

　　Seeing their master's reaction, the servants behind Zhao Guang immediately understood.

　　"My lady, my master is of noble status and has condescended to come here just because he admires your temperament and wants to invite you to a banquet for a chat. You have repeatedly refused, which is not appropriate, right? If you still insist on not going, then we have no choice but to invite you by force." A young man in a blue suit stepped forward and spoke to Zhou Xue. While speaking, he even rushed forward and wanted to forcibly pull Zhou Xue away.

　　Looking at the man in front of her who had aroused some energy and seemed aggressive, Zhou Xue's face showed some panic, but she was not flustered. Just when she was about to scold him, a voice came over first.

　　"Stop!" With a light shout, a tall figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard. It was Zhou Yun who came in a hurry.

　　Zhou Yun suddenly appeared, and the servants following Zhao Guang, including Zhao Guang himself, were a little surprised. They were not weak in cultivation. Zhao Guang himself was also at the peak of his cultivation and would soon break through to the warrior realm. Among his followers, there was also a person who had reached the intermediate warrior level. However, these people did not notice Zhou Yun's approach at all.

　　Although they were surprised, Zhao Guang and the others all became contemptuous after seeing the thin coarse cloth clothes on Zhou Yun. It seemed that this man was the younger brother that Zhou Xue mentioned. Obviously, he was just an external servant of the Qin family and had no status or position.

　　"Who are you to dare to yell at me like this..." With a look of contempt, Zhao Guang just opened his mouth to scold Zhou Yun. Another figure appeared behind Zhou Yun, it was Li Yi who came later.

　　As soon as he saw what Li Yi was wearing, Zhao Guang immediately stopped talking.

　　Li Yi's attire clearly shows that he is from a wealthy family. Although his family is not one of those that have military commanders in office, there are three or four wealthy families in Tianhe Province that do not have military commanders in office, and each of them is not simple.

　　Moreover, the Tianyuan Dynasty was established not long ago, and every family at the aristocratic level has more or less some connection with the core power institution of the Tianyuan Dynasty. Zhao Guang did not dare to offend Li Yi rashly.

　　Ignoring Zhou Yun, Zhao Guang clasped his fists towards Li Yi and said, "Excuse me, brother. I am Zhao Guang from the Zhao Mansion, a great family in Tianhe Province. What is your name?"

　　At this moment, Li Yi was still shocked by Zhou Yun's performance. After feeling the blood and qi in the courtyard, Zhou Yun's body almost flew out at a high speed. While running, his knees were slightly bent, his waist was bent down, and he was swift and agile. Not only was his speed very fast, but it was also completely silent. The strangest thing was that Zhou Yun did not stimulate any blood and qi when he was running. This level of cultivation was obviously far beyond his.

　　I originally wanted to ask Zhou Yun about his footwork, but the current situation was obviously not suitable.

　　Seeing Zhao Guang asking him, Li Yi also clasped his fists and said, "I am Li Yi from the Li family of Heyang."

　　hiss……

　　After hearing Li Yi's response, Zhao Guang and the servants he brought with him all took a deep breath. The Li family, a great family in Heyang City, is a remarkable family. When Taizu of the Tianyuan Dynasty started the rebellion, the Li family, as a large silver merchant, funded a lot of money and grain and made great contributions to supporting him.

　　After the Tianyuan Dynasty came to power, the Li family's business grew even bigger and bigger, and they became extremely wealthy. Although they seemed extremely low-key and had little fame among the common people, their influence was definitely not to be underestimated.

　　Zhao Guang did not dare to speak or move when Li Yi appeared here. He bowed to Li Yi again and asked carefully, "It turns out to be Brother Li Shi. I'm sorry, why are you here?"

　　In his opinion, it was unthinkable for a young man from a great family like Li Yi to live in a place where servants lived outside the Qin family. Including himself, if it weren't for the marriage between the Zhao family and the Qin family, and one of his aunts married into the Qin family, he would have come to visit and met Zhou Xue at the Qin family. He would probably never come to such a place in his life.

　　When Li Yi saw the situation in the yard when he came in, he had already guessed what had happened. Facing Zhao Guang's questioning, Li Yi did not hide anything and said frankly, "The girl Zhou Xue inside is my confidante. I came here to visit her, of course."

　　After saying this, Li Yi did not forget to look at Zhou Xue standing at the door, his eyes were full of openness. After being told so bluntly by Li Yi, Zhou Xue's face flushed and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

　　Zhou Yun, who was standing by, saw all this and admired Li Yi even more. It was indeed a blessing for his sister to meet such a man.

　　"I see. If that's the case, I won't disturb your fun. I'll be staying at the Qin's house these days. I'll visit the Li's house when I have time. I'll take my leave today." After Li Yi said that, Zhao Guang knew that it was not suitable for him to stay here any longer. He bowed to Li Yi and said goodbye.

　　"Brother Zhao, please go. I'm sorry I can't see you off." Although he was still a little angry, Li Yi was not unreasonable. The other party didn't know about it before, and left quickly after he explained the situation, which was not disrespectful. Besides, the Zhao family was also a family with military commanders in office, so it was not appropriate to make enemies, so Li Yi didn't care about it anymore.

　　As Zhao Guang and others left, the courtyard returned to peace again.

　　"Sister, are you okay?" When Zhao Guang and others left just now, Zhou Yun was ignored again. Zhao Guang didn't even look at Zhou Yun. But Zhou Yun didn't care about these things. He cared about the safety of his sister Zhou Xue.

　　Zhou Xue gently flicked off the snowflakes stuck on Zhou Yun's clothes and smiled, "They just wanted to invite me to a banquet. They didn't do anything out of the ordinary. It's okay."

　　"That's good." With a sharp and unwilling look in his eyes, Zhou Yun nodded slowly, and a smile appeared on his face again.

　　"Okay, let's eat quickly. I'm hungry. This matter is my fault. I didn't consider you carefully. Xiaoxue, if you don't mind, I will send Uncle Qing over tomorrow. He can live in the yard next to yours. My family is busy with business, and it is indeed inconvenient for me to come often. Let Uncle Qing come to take care of you, and Zhou Yun and I will feel at ease." Li Yi spoke with a smile to dissolve the depressing atmosphere among the three people.

　　The Uncle Qing that Li Yi mentioned is actually named Li Qingquan, also an external servant of the Li family. However, due to his high level of cultivation and having reached the peak of bone training, he also has a certain status in the Li family and is one of Li Yi's personal servants.

　　"In that case, thank you for your help. The wine and food are ready, please come in." Nodding at Li Yi, Zhou Xue spoke gently.

　　Zhou Xue naturally knew Li Yi's intentions. She had said before that she would not consider getting married before Zhou Yun could be independent. Although she had a good impression of Li Yi, Zhou Xue never gave a clear answer.

　　Li Yi wanted to send someone over, and if Zhou Xue agreed, it would be equivalent to her tacitly accepting the relationship between Li Yi and her. Although this was somewhat against her principles, Zhou Xue knew that letting Li Yi send someone to protect her would also be a good thing for Zhou Yun.

　　Li Yi was worried about her safety, so how could Zhou Yun not be worried? Zhou Xue knew her appearance, and she also knew that she was in a low position and was coveted by some powerful people. She had almost no way to resist many dangers.

　　This arrangement would also allow her younger brother to concentrate more on preparing for the military exam, and after joining the army, he could devote himself to building a career, and it would also allow Li Yi to do his own thing with peace of mind. Although it was somewhat contrary to her own principles, Zhou Xue did not refuse.

　　Seeing Zhou Xue agreed, Li Yi's eyes also showed a hint of joy, and he liked Zhou Xue more and more. This is a woman who knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to make choices, and is considerate. Although she came from a poor family, Li Yi knew that he had made the right choice.

　　In an instant, Li Yi's heart became comfortable. "Come on, Zhou Yun, I'm very happy today. Drink a few more cups with me. I spent a lot of money to get this monkey wine. It has a long-lasting effect and contains a lot of tonic substances. It also promotes martial arts cultivation. Let's not go home until we are drunk today."

　　"Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk." Grateful for Li Yi's arrangement, Zhou Yun also responded to Shi Jing and walked into the house with Li Yi.

　　Chapter 3 Lightning

　　An hour later, it was completely dark, but the small house where the Zhou siblings lived was still warm. On the simple little table, a jar of "Hou'er Shao" wine had been drunk. Li Yi was a little dizzy from drinking, but Zhou Yun's face was just slightly red, and there was nothing wrong with him.

　　"Zhou Yun, your alcohol tolerance is getting better and better. You're not drunk even after drinking so much." Although he was a little confused, he could still maintain basic sanity. Seeing that Zhou Yun beside him still looked normal after drinking so much, Li Yi spoke with some reluctance.

　　"Haha, this wine is really good. After drinking it, I feel warm all over. I indulge in it and don't even feel drunk." Zhou Yun replied with a gentle and calm face. Although he sat quietly, under his clothes, the meridians in Zhou Yun's body were slowly turning, absorbing the power of the monkey fever.

　　"Okay, it's getting late. I'll go back first. Zhou Yun, Xiaoxue, you should also go to bed early." It was getting late, and Li Yi knew it was inconvenient for him to stay here any longer. He drank the last bit of wine in the bowl and stood up.

　　"Have a good rest." Li Yi was a little shaky when he stood up. Zhou Xue, who was sitting next to him, gently reached out and supported Li Yi's arm. It was a simple gesture, not excessive, but it expressed concern, which made Li Yi very happy.

　　"Sister, I'm going to see Brother Li off, and then I have to go feed Lightning. You can rest first, you don't have to wait for me." Zhou Yun also stood up and spoke to Zhou Xue.

　　"Well, you should pay more attention to yourself." Knowing that Zhou Yun still had to continue practicing boxing in the evening to prepare for the next martial arts examination, Zhou Xue didn't say anything more.

　　After saying goodbye to Zhou Xue, Zhou Yun supported Li Yi and walked out of the courtyard. Outside the courtyard, one of Li Yi's personal servants was already waiting there.

　　After handing Li Yi over to his servants and sending them out of the Qin family's back door, Zhou Yun turned and walked towards the core area of ​​the Qin family mansion.

　　Thinking back to what happened today, Zhou Yun felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

　　As a servant, he had no status in the Tianyuan Dynasty. He saw his beautiful and virtuous sister being coveted by others, and he couldn't marry the man he liked. He also thought about his parents who had died five years ago. Because they didn't have the status of commoners, they couldn't even buy a cemetery, so they could only be buried randomly in a mass grave, exposed to the wind and sun.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun's desire to succeed became stronger.

　　"The military examination in seven days will be the chance for me to change my life. I must seize it. This time, I must pass the exam. Then, after I join the army, I can start directly as a substitute sergeant, and my promotion will be faster. I can also leave the Qin family and start my own business right away." Zhou Yun kept walking, but thoughts were surging in his heart.

　　Unconsciously, Zhou Yun had walked to the west side of the core area of ​​the Qin's mansion. There was the garden where the Qin family raised war horses and various rare beasts. The whole garden was densely covered with rockery and trees, and winding paths passed through it, dividing the garden into several areas. Although they were not far from each other, they did not have much impact on each other.

　　Zhou Yun had studied this garden before. Until now, he only knew that this garden contained a trace of the Taoist Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. Although the area was not large, it was reasonably distributed. Even the sound propagation between several areas was hindered. However, due to his humble background, the classics that Zhou Yun had access to were very rare, and he had no way of understanding such things.

　　"roar!"

　　While Zhou Yun was thinking, he had already walked to the deepest area of ​​the garden. As if sensing Zhou Yun's arrival, a low tiger roar came from the distance!

　　That's right, it was a tiger's roar. The Qin family raised many rare beasts in this garden, and Tiger Lightning was one of them. Raising tigers was to allow the children of the Qin family to cultivate their fierceness through daily contact with tigers.

　　Facts have proved that people who often come into contact with primitive wild beasts will unconsciously carry a trace of the beasts' fortitude and courage. Such training is not uncommon in some wealthy families, and Zhou Yun is the person in charge of raising tigers in the Qin family.

　　The opportunity to raise tigers was naturally due to Zhou Yun's chance. Four years ago, Zhou Yun encountered an accident on Luoxia Mountain next to Heyang City and was almost killed by a wild tiger. But in the end, he was able to escape danger. Not only that, after that close contact with the tiger, Zhou Yun had a little understanding of the tiger's attack and momentum.

　　After that, Zhou Yun made a lot of progress in practicing the Tiger Fist that was widely circulated among the people of the Tianyuan Dynasty. His skills became stronger and stronger, which allowed him to stand out among the Qin family's servants and enter the Tiger Martial Arts Hall.

　　Zhou Yun was the only external servant who was not opposed by Lightning, so he naturally took on the task of raising the tiger.

　　"Zhou Yun, Lightning's feed is ready, you can take it in." Hearing the tiger's roar, the two servants in charge of guarding the tiger knew that Zhou Yun had arrived. They immediately stood up to greet him. Although they were both external servants, Zhou Yun was recognized as the best among the Qin family's external servants. He was a strong man, so he could naturally be respected.

　　In fact, there were many times when Zhou Yun didn't come. At that time, they could also send the feed in with a hanging basket from above the rockery, but Zhou Yun, the person in charge, still had to come occasionally.

　　Moreover, during the years of raising Lightning, Zhou Yun also learned a lot from Lightning.

　　"Okay, thank you." Nodding to the two Qin family servants, Zhou Yun pushed the cart and opened the first door of the iron cage in front of him.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun open the door, the two servants immediately retreated far away. The tiger inside was not easy to deal with and had killed many people over the years.

　　The place where Lightning is raised is an area surrounded by rockery on all sides. A passage is dug out in the mountain on one side, and three black steel secret doors are added in the middle to prevent the tiger from escaping.

　　After entering the first door, Zhou Yun locked it with his backhand, and then opened the remaining two doors. Zhou Yun had already pushed the cart to the area surrounded by rockery.

　　"Roar!" Seeing Zhou Yun pushing the cart in, a huge red figure immediately rushed over. This figure was Lightning, a red tiger that was nearly three meters long and weighed more than three hundred kilograms!

　　"Lightning, stop it!" Feeling the surging energy and blood, Zhou Yun quickly parked the car, his body flashed quickly, and he jumped seven steps away.

　　During the four years of raising Lightning, Zhou Yun and Lightning have established a very good tacit understanding. Lightning was raised by humans since he was a child, and although he often hurt people, he has more or less understood some human nature. Especially after being in contact with Zhou Yun for a long time, Lightning can understand some of Zhou Yun's words and actions.

　　"Roar!" Lightning understood what Zhou Yun meant and let out a low roar, as if blaming Zhou Yun for coming too late. He shook his huge head and began to bite the fresh beef in the cart.

　　Seeing that Lightning had started eating, Zhou Yun walked to the rockery on the side with peace of mind.

　　Zhou Yun also drank a lot of Houer Shao during dinner. During the banquet, he had already started to use his internal energy to regulate his body, but he couldn't release it at that time, so the effect of the regulation was naturally not good.

　　Now that there is no one to disturb him here, Zhou Yun can naturally start practicing with confidence.

　　Monkey liquor has a long-lasting effect and contains many tonic substances. As Zhou Yun relaxed his body and mind, waves of heat immediately surged throughout his body.

　　Feeling the heat, Zhou Yun immediately stood on tiptoe, bent his knees, leaned forward, hunched his chest and clenched his fists. His entire body was in a state of holding back, like a tiger ready to pounce at any time!

　　If a martial artist saw Zhou Yun's movements at this moment, he would be amazed. Zhou Yun's posture seemed to be an ordinary Crouching Tiger Stance in the popular Tiger Fist, but upon closer inspection, it was completely different.

　　Most people who practice Crouching Tiger Posture only focus on the form, but never grasp the essence. After long-term practice, they can only achieve rooting under their feet, and their footsteps are slightly more stable than those of ordinary people. However, the posture Zhou Yun is standing in is not only as stable as a rock, but also not rigid at all. It is not the kind of dead posture that does not threaten people but makes their body stiff after posing.

　　Although he looked motionless, the muscles in Zhou Yun's body were twitching slightly, showing his extreme activity. He stood there in an attacking posture with an unreleased momentum. Although he did not move, his might was growing stronger and stronger!

　　suck!

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun opened his mouth and began to inhale air, which gradually accumulated between his lungs through his chest. With one inhalation, Zhou Yun's belly was more than a circle larger than usual! The blood in his body also began to circulate crazily, tempering his skin and flesh!

　　call!

　　After a full two minutes, Zhou Yun opened his mouth again, and suddenly, a visible straight stream of hot air gushed out of his mouth, and it disappeared more than half a meter away.

　　With each breath, Zhou Yun's body had been tempered to a new level, and his skin and flesh became tighter and more flexible!

　　roar!

　　At this time, Lightning in the distance also felt Zhou Yun's changes. Although he had been kept as a pet, Lightning was a ferocious beast after all, and he had a strong intuition about the changes in qi and blood.

　　With a low growl, Lightning silently stopped eating, his body trembled slightly and pressed down. His bent front legs had become thicker than usual, with long tendons coiled on the bones like spirit snakes, making him look extremely strong.

　　Although he had entered the attacking state, not a single bit of blood or energy leaked out of Lightning's body, and his four feet stepped on the ground silently.

　　With the shadow of the moonlight, the lightning had quietly approached Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun, who was practicing meditation, had been paying attention to Lightning's movements. Seeing the big red beast, which he had raised for more than three years and had grown from a tiger cub into a real tiger, approaching, a smile appeared on Zhou Yun's face.

　　He naturally knew what Lightning wanted to do now.

　　roar!

　　Having entered the attack range, Lightning immediately roared and flashed across the distance of ten meters. His front paws were fully exposed, and the tendons on his front paws were tangled together like poisonous snakes. With the force of thousands of troops, he struck Zhou Yun's chest directly!

　　This is exactly the move that ranks among the top three in terms of attack power in Tiger Fist, a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey! If this grab is firmly hit, the end result will be at least the stomach will be ripped open!

　　Tiger Fist originally originated from humans imitating the attacks of tigers. In the Tiger School, Zhou Yun had also seen the instructor teach this move. However, compared with Lightning, the moves performed by the instructor were more than one level worse in terms of form and momentum.

　　"Come on!" Zhou Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted loudly. His feet, which were originally deeply embedded in the mud, suddenly exerted force, and the whole person flew into the air, leaped backwards, and climbed up a three-meter-high rock in one go, just in time to avoid the lightning's thundering strike.

　　After dodging the attack, Zhou Yun used his legs to gain leverage from the rock and immediately pounced down from above, punching out at Lightning's head, which was three or four times bigger than an ordinary person's!

　　When punching, the muscles in Zhou Yun's arms also jumped completely. The power of this punch came from the soles of his feet, rotated upwards, and was transmitted through his waist and back. By the time it reached the tip of his arm and fist, it already had a force of several hundred kilograms!

　　During the few years of raising Lightning, such sparring and fighting were common. Zhou Yun's move of "The Tiger Coming Down the Mountain" was surprisingly similar to that of a real tiger. When he punched, there were gusts of strong wind and even a slight sound of a tiger's roar.

　　Feeling threatened by Zhou Yun's punch, Lightning immediately lowered his body, and his huge body unexpectedly turned over, with his back touching the ground and the fur on his lower abdomen facing upwards.

　　With this reversal, a thick tiger claw suddenly stretched out from below and directly met Zhou Yun's fist.

　　The authentic tiger turns back!

　　Chapter 4: The Duke's House

　　bump!

　　The fist and claw collided with a loud bang, and Zhou Yun was pushed back repeatedly by this huge force. Lightning stood up again and again, and his front paws that had just fought with Zhou Yun could not help but shake lightly to relieve the numb feeling.

　　Zhou Yun was not feeling well at the moment. He was in human form and his cultivation had just reached the peak of skin training. He had not yet entered the warrior realm of bones as hard as steel. There was still a big gap between him and the naturally powerful tiger.

　　Just now, he was only able to compete with Lightning because of his advantage of being high above. After a confrontation, Zhou Yun only felt a dull pain in his right fist, but the pride in his heart was rising more and more.

　　"Come again!" With a low roar, Zhou Yun stomped his feet on the ground and actually took the initiative to pounce towards the lightning.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun dared to attack, Lightning immediately roared like a tiger and rushed forward. As a tiger, his kingly majesty naturally could not be challenged.

　　In the blink of an eye, the man and the tiger fought again.

　　This time, Zhou Yun held out under the lightning attack for ten minutes. Finally, his energy and blood were gradually consumed and he became weak. Zhou Yun then jumped onto the rockery and ended the battle.

　　"Lightning, stop fighting. This is no use." Sitting on a rock more than four meters high, Zhou Yun took a deep breath, adjusted his surging blood, and waved at the Lightning below who was still eager to try.

　　Such scenes have occurred many times in more than three years. As Lightning gradually grows, the time Zhou Yun can last is getting shorter and shorter. However, this time there is still progress. The last time Zhou Yun fought, he only lasted five minutes, but this time it was twice as long.

　　This was also thanks to the bottle of Hou'er Shao that Li Yi brought. With such a tonic, and after Zhou Yun experienced what happened today, the urgency of wanting to become stronger became even stronger, which made Zhou Yun break through to the peak of skin training.

　　roar!

　　After wandering around under the rock where Zhou Yun was for a long time and seeing that Zhou Yun had no intention of coming down, Lightning snored and turned around to continue eating.

　　Sitting on the stone, Zhou Yun silently used his strength to regulate his body. After his breathing became smooth, Zhou Yun stood up from the stone.

　　"It's almost time, Jun Yao should be here soon." Looking at the sky, Zhou Yun showed a gentle smile on his face and mentioned a girl's name.

　　With his breathing in order, Zhou Yun leaped up from the other side of the rockery and jumped down again. When he landed, he was already outside the Qin Family's exotic animal garden. With the help of the lights on both sides of the path, Zhou Yun quickly left the Qin Family's mansion and ran out of the city.

　　Zhou Yun's steps were very steady along the way, and the breath in and out of his chest and lungs was long and distant. Although he was moving very fast, it did not consume a lot of energy.

　　About an incense stick of time later, Zhou Yun had arrived at Luoxia Mountain outside Heyang City.

　　From afar, Zhou Yun had already seen an exquisite and gorgeous carriage parked beside the path at the foot of Luoxia Mountain. On the low peak beside the road, a pretty figure was standing there. She was wearing a light pink dress that swayed gently in the breeze. Her hair was like flowing clouds, and her slender back was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

　　"Jun Yao!" Zhou Yun couldn't help but shout out as his heart felt boiling with heat.

　　"Zhou Yun!" Hearing Zhou Yun's shout, that beautiful figure turned around. She had an exquisite face, a noble and gentle temperament, and her ivory-white hands were slightly exposed from her sleeves. She opened her jade arms towards Zhou Yun, looking indescribably charming.

　　Rushing forward, Zhou Yun hugged the girl in front of him in his arms.

　　"Jun Yao, I'm sorry, I'm late." Holding the beautiful girl in his arms, Zhou Yun often sighed in his heart. A feeling of happiness filled his heart, as if he was hugging the whole world.

　　An incident four years ago made Zhou Yun meet Lin Junyao. At that time, Zhou Yun was only eleven years old and had only been training martial arts for three years, not even entering the realm of skin training.

　　While collecting firewood on Luoxia Mountain, Zhou Yun happened to meet Lin Junyao who was passing by in a car. At that time, Lin Junyao was being chased by a group of masked men, and all the servants around him were scattered, and he was in extremely danger.

　　At this time, a tiger suddenly jumped out of the mountain. At the critical moment, it was Zhou Yun who saved Lin Junyao, but he was nearly bitten to death by the tiger. Fortunately, after killing the attacker, one of Lin Junyao's guards rushed back and drove away the tiger, thus saving Zhou Yun's life.

　　Since then, Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao have been communicating frequently and meeting occasionally, and their relationship has become better and better. In the past four years, Lin Junyao has never told Zhou Yun about her true identity, but from the cultivation level of the guards who came with Lin Junyao every time, Zhou Yun already knew that Lin Junyao's family background was definitely not ordinary.

　　Although their social statuses were as different as a chasm, human emotions were uncontrollable, and Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao had already recognized each other in their hearts. This was another reason why Zhou Yun was eager to pass the military examination and join the army.

　　"You're not late. I just arrived too." Leaning in Zhou Yun's arms, Lin Junyao showed a relieved smile on her face. Ever since she was rescued by Zhou Yun on the verge of life and death four years ago, Zhou Yun's figure has been deeply imprinted in Lin Junyao's heart.

　　Even now, Lin Junyao still couldn't understand how Zhou Yun, who was only eleven years old and had a low level of cultivation, had the courage to push her away and stand in front of the ferocious tiger.

　　After that, the two of them slowly came into contact and developed feelings for each other. Lin Junyao was even more impressed by Zhou Yun's neither humble nor arrogant character. Although he was of humble status, he did not avoid feelings, but worked hard. Everything about Zhou Yun made Lin Junyao fall in love with him.

　　Compared to Zhou Yun, the nobles around her were just like floating clouds. But Lin Junyao didn't know how long she could wait for Zhou Yun.

　　After a deep hug, their bodies slightly separated. Zhou Yun held Lin Junyao's jade-like little hand and looked closely at the girl in front of him.

　　"Jun Yao, I haven't seen you for three months. You've lost a lot of weight. Is there anything bothering you?" After years of correspondence and occasional meetings, Zhou Yun already knew Lin Jun Yao very well. He could not hide any of Lin Jun Yao's conditions from Zhou Yun.

　　Lin Junyao, who was originally full of joy, had a hint of sadness in her eyes after hearing Zhou Yun's question. "It's okay. The weather is cold and I don't have much appetite. What about you? The martial arts exam is coming soon. How are you preparing?"

　　This was also the first time in several years that Lin Junyao took the initiative to ask about Zhou Yun's future. Zhou Yun had been working hard since the two gradually understood each other's feelings, and Lin Junyao had never urged him. But this time, Zhou Yun clearly felt the change in Lin Junyao.

　　"Jun Yao, you can't hide it from me. Tell me clearly, is there something wrong?" Zhou Yun asked seriously, staring into the girl's eyes.

　　"Zhou Yun, I..." A trace of tears appeared in her beautiful and innocent eyes, and Lin Junyao hesitated to speak.

　　Before he could utter a word, Zhou Yun already felt a powerful force attacking him from behind.

　　"Jun Yao, be careful!" Startled, Zhou Yun turned around quickly and was on full alert.

　　The force behind him was too strong. The terrible pressure from his energy and blood almost made Zhou Yun feel like he was going to collapse, but he still tried his best to withstand the pressure.

　　Lin Junyao was right behind him. Zhou Yun would not and could not retreat at this time!

　　He couldn't even see the height, weight or body shape of the person coming from the front. All Zhou Yun could see was the pair of red hands.

　　"The tiger is out of the cage!" With a sudden shout, Zhou Yun stomped his feet hard on the ground. The powerful internal force almost made Zhou Yun's feet completely sink into the mud.

　　With his eyes wide open and his upper body leaning forward, Zhou Yun punched forward with his pair of iron fists containing the greatest power.

　　Although Zhou Yun knew that the enemy in front of him had a cultivation level far beyond his reach, after practicing Tiger Fist for so long and comprehending the true tiger's determination to fight hard even against a strong enemy through his interactions with Lightning, Zhou Yun's punch actually delivered the strongest power.

　　"Hmm?" Zhou Yun seemed to hear a strange humming sound.

　　Suddenly, the palm with overwhelming power in front of him became much weaker. But even so, the power of the red palm was still not something Zhou Yun could resist.

　　bump!

　　With a loud bang, Zhou Yun flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground.

　　It was not until this time that the young man who had attacked Zhou Yun showed up.

　　He was wearing a sea-blue silk brocade robe, with a peacock on his chest that seemed to be about to take off, a jade crown on his head, a belt with a pattern of mountains and seas around his waist, and cloud-patterned leather boots. His eyes were like stars, his face was like a jade crown, and he looked very elegant and extraordinary.

　　"Brother! Don't hurt him!" At this time, Lin Junyao also saw the appearance of the person coming. She screamed and rushed over to block the young man.

　　Zhou Yun was knocked back so hard that he suffered a lot of internal injuries. After seeing the clothes of the person coming out and hearing Lin Junyao addressing the young man, Zhou Yun could no longer hold back and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

　　The jade crown that spans the sky, the brocade robe with the pattern of peacock flapping wings, and the belt with the pattern of mountains and rivers returning to one, these are the clothes that only the sons of the dukes of the Tianyuan Dynasty can wear. Lin Junyao called this man brother, so Lin Junyao's identity was already obvious.

　　Although he had already guessed that Lin Junyao's status was not low, Zhou Yun never expected that Lin Junyao's status would be so high. The Duke is only slightly lower than the royal family.

　　Compared with him, a foreign servant, it was really like heaven and earth.

　　Without paying any attention to Lin Junyao, Lin Juntian silently glanced at Zhou Yun who was lying on the ground, and said calmly, "You are a commoner, but you actually committed treason and got close to the Duke's daughter. I should have shot you to death, but considering that you have some talent and it is not easy for a commoner to cultivate to such a level, I will spare your life. If you dare to disrespect the Duke's daughter again in the future, or have evil thoughts, I will definitely make your entire clan be exterminated."

　　"Brother, don't!" After hearing Lin Juntian's last four words, Lin Junyao screamed again.

　　He retracted his gaze and turned to look at Lin Junyao. Lin Juntian's eyes had softened a lot. "Junyao, come back with me. You will be fifteen in three months. You will attend the Lanting Festival hosted by the Queen. With your talent, you may even have the chance to be named a princess. Don't be so willful in the future."

　　After saying this, Lin Juntian directly took Lin Junyao's hand and turned to leave.

　　"Brother, Zhou Yun is injured. I want to go see him. I won't leave. I won't leave!" Looking at Zhou Yun lying on the ground covered in blood, Lin Junyao couldn't help but shed tears. She slapped Lin Juntian's arm hard, but she couldn't resist at all.

　　Naturally, Lin Juntian could see his sister's sadness, but he was not moved at all. In his opinion, such a fate was completely a bad one and there was no possibility of it bearing fruit. In this case, it would be better to cut off the relationship right away. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one.

　　"Jun Yao, wait a minute." Just as Lin Juntian was pulling his sister forward quickly, a steady voice came from behind him. Hearing this voice, Lin Juntian stopped.

　　Chapter 5 Give Me Three Years

　　Looking back at Zhou Yun, a strange look flashed in Lin Juntian's eyes again. This young man was obviously not a person without common sense. He had obviously seen through his and Lin Junyao's identities just now, and he seemed to have been greatly hit emotionally, even vomiting blood in anxiety. But at this time, Zhou Yun miraculously recovered, and there was no panic in his eyes anymore.

　　In an instant, Lin Juntian also developed some interest in Zhou Yun. He held Lin Junyao's hand tightly to prevent his sister from getting close to Zhou Yun, but Lin Juntian turned around and walked away without any hurry.

　　Taking a deep breath with difficulty, trying hard to suppress the severe pain in his body, Zhou Yun looked at Lin Junyao calmly.

　　"Jun Yao, I didn't expect that you are the daughter of the Duke. It seems that it is destined to be extremely difficult for us to be together. I want to ask you, do you want to give up?" After discovering Lin Jun Yao's identity, Zhou Yun felt indescribable powerlessness in his heart, but as a man, he absolutely could not give up on his own initiative and let down the feelings of his beloved woman. If Lin Jun Yao was willing to accompany him on this difficult road, Zhou Yun would certainly do it without hesitation.

　　"No, I won't give up!" After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao's tears flowed faster. She kept shaking her head and spoke firmly.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's determined eyes, Zhou Yun's face showed a relaxed smile like melting spring snow.

　　Zhou Yun struggled hard and actually stood up.

　　"Okay, if you don't abandon me, I will never abandon you." Looking at the beautiful girl in the distance affectionately, Zhou Yun spoke word by word.

　　"How dare you!" Seeing that Zhou Yun actually dared to swear an oath of eternal love with Lin Junyao in front of him, Lin Juntian immediately shouted angrily, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

　　"Brother, if you dare to kill him, I will die in front of you!" Just when Lin Juntian was about to take action, Lin Junyao's voice came over. Turning back, he saw that Lin Junyao had already grasped a sharp blade in her hand and pressed it against his throat.

　　"Jun Yao, don't!" Seeing this scene, Lin Juntian and Zhou Yun spoke almost at the same time.

　　After looking at Zhou Yun tenderly, Lin Junyao turned her eyes resolutely to Lin Juntian, "Brother, although Zhou Yun is a servant, he is loyal, honest and smart. Being with him will not humiliate me. The military examination will be held in seven days, and Zhou Yun will be able to join the army soon. When he has made great achievements, he will be able to marry me in an upright manner. If you insist on killing him, I would rather die than surrender."

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's resolute gaze, Lin Juntian finally stopped his actions.

　　Looking back at Zhou Yun, Lin Juntian shook his head and said, "Zhou Yun, right? You are indeed a good young man, and you have a strong character. If it weren't for Jun Yao, I would be willing to take you into the Lin family and protect your future. But now I just want to remind you that making achievements is not as simple as you think. Although there are military generals in the army who are born as civilians, they all have great perseverance and great opportunities."

　　"Martial arts training, military tactics deduction, whether it is natural treasures, martial arts secrets, or military books, or even military pay and food, these are not easy for ordinary people to obtain. It's easy for you to say that you want to make achievements, but how long do you want Jun Yao to wait for you? Do you want her to wait until her youth passes while you are still struggling on the road to making achievements?"

　　He had seen a hint of determination in Lin Junyao's eyes. Knowing his sister's temperament, Lin Juntian knew that if he forced her, it would probably backfire. As the son of a duke, Lin Juntian was naturally very smart, and soon he had solved the problem from another angle.

　　Zhou Yun was stunned, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. Because he knew that what Lin Juntian said was true.

　　In this small Heyang City, there are two places to practice martial arts and prepare for the martial arts examination. Common people will come to the Menghu Martial Arts Hall. Although the tuition here is free, there are no excellent instructors, no precious medicinal materials to assist in training, and no advanced intensive exercises. Zhou Yun was able to practice to the current peak level of martial arts at the age of fifteen, entirely because of the chance he felt when facing the Menghu between life and death four years ago, and the tiger fist realm he experienced when he was with Lightning later.

　　With this opportunity and hard work, Zhou Yun was able to reach the peak of skin training at the age of fifteen. Although such a level of cultivation is considered first-class in Fenglin Academy, a noble school in Heyang City, Zhou Yun knows that the rich children of Fenglin Academy have worked much less than him, and they will probably be able to improve their cultivation faster than him in the future.

　　Even if you join the army, it will not be easy to achieve success without strong financial support.

　　Originally, in Zhou Yun's plan, if he worked hard in the army to practice martial arts and make meritorious service, he could still hope to become a centurion or even a commander. If Lin Junyao was the daughter of a great family, or even the descendant of an earl, she could also strive for it.

　　But Lin Junyao's identity is that of a noble lady of a duke, and she may even be conferred the title of a princess in the future. If he wants to marry her, a commander may not even be able to reach the tiptoes of Lin Junyao. He must at least be a lieutenant general or even a general.

　　But how long will it take? Even if there is time, will there really be a chance?

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun deeply realized the importance of identity and family background.

　　Zhou Yun frowned, pursed his lips, and clenched his fists tightly.

　　"Three years." After taking a deep look at Lin Junyao, Zhou Yun's expression became resolute again. "I need three years. Junyao is not even fifteen years old yet. Sixteen to eighteen years old is a good age for a girl to get married in the Tianyuan Dynasty. From today on, if I still cannot marry Junyao within three years, I will definitely let you go."

　　"Zhou Yun!" Lin Junyao screamed as soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking. In her opinion, it was almost impossible for Zhou Yun to marry her within three years. With her current status, her marriage partner would at least be a descendant of a prince, or an officer above the rank of lieutenant general in the army, or a civil official of the fourth rank or above in the court.

　　Once one is conferred the title of a princess, one's status becomes even more transcendent, at least as noble as a general.

　　Zhou Yun was only three months older than her, and would be only eighteen years old in three years. An eighteen-year-old general was extremely rare in all the dynasties of the Central Plains, not to mention the Tianyuan Dynasty!

　　She didn't want to give up this relationship, didn't want to give up Zhou Yun, but Zhou Yun made such a vow, how was it different from giving up?

　　"Jun Yao, you don't have to say more. Although I have feelings for you, I cannot be selfish. If I can't make a name for myself, do I really want you to wait for me all my life? I only need three years. Although the time is short, it is not completely without chance. You have to trust me. If I really can't do it, please forget me." Zhou Yun naturally knew what Lin Jun Yao wanted to say. He waved his hand to stop Lin Jun Yao from speaking and spoke seriously.

　　At this point, Lin Junyao was finally speechless and could only let the tears flow freely.

　　Lin Juntian, who was standing beside her, also looked at Zhou Yun deeply at this time. He had to say that he couldn't help but feel a little admiration for the young man in front of him.

　　Originally, he thought that three years was too much time, because no matter what, Zhou Yun was just wasting Lin Junyao's time. But now, he was not in a hurry to eliminate Zhou Yun.

　　Taking out a small bottle from his arms, Lin Juntian threw it directly to Zhou Yun, "This is a blood coagulation pill, a holy medicine for healing. After taking it and practicing your luck for five days, your injuries will be restored to their original state. Not only will it not affect your participation in the martial arts examination, but it will even improve your cultivation. You will also avoid feeling that my injury to you has affected your future."

　　Reaching out to take the small bottle thrown by Lin Juntian, Zhou Yun silently put it in his pocket. Although he was strong, he was not pedantic. Naturally, he would not refuse Lin Juntian's medicine.

　　After putting away the pills, Zhou Yun looked at Lin Juntian and said calmly, "I have a question and a request."

　　"Speak." Lin Juntian asked with interest, somewhat curious about what Zhou Yun wanted to say.

　　"The question is, are you the descendant of that duke of the Tianyuan Dynasty? The requirement is, please do not tell anyone about my relationship with Jun Yao and our agreement." There are two dukes with the surname Lin in the Tianyuan Dynasty. Although they both have the surname Lin, they cannot be confused. He must know which family Lin Junyao is descended from. Zhou Yun's request was for his own safety. Once such news was leaked, with Lin Junyao's appearance and talent, there would probably be countless people who wanted to kill him, and Lin Juntian would not even have to do it.

　　"We are descendants of Lin Hailong, the Duke of Pingnan in Gyeonggi Province. As for your request, I will definitely abide by it." After taking a deep look at Zhou Yun, Lin Juntian left a few words and turned around to take the reluctant Lin Junyao away.

　　It was not until the two of them disappeared from Zhou Yun's sight and got on the carriage that Lin Juntian spoke slowly, "This Zhou Yun is not simple, what a pity."

　　Standing quietly on the hillside, watching Lin Junyao's carriage leave, Zhou Yun clenched his fists and said, "Pingnan Mansion, Junyao, I will definitely go."

　　The sun rises and sets, and in the blink of an eye, a day and night have passed. In a secret cave in Luoxia Mountain, Zhou Yun sat quietly on the ground, meditating and regulating his breathing.

　　After separating from Lin Junyao yesterday, Zhou Yun came here directly and began to treat his injuries.

　　That blood-clotting pill was indeed a holy medicine for healing. After taking it, it overcame the fierce medicinal power in the initial stage. Now Zhou Yun's injuries have recovered by more than half, but the blood-clotting pill in his body has still not completely dissolved.

　　Although he didn't know how the blood coagulation pill was made, Zhou Yun couldn't help but marvel at its medicinal power. A night and a day had passed, and the pill had not yet completely dissolved in his body. Only one-fifth of it had dissolved, and Zhou Yun's injuries were almost healed.

　　Just as Lin Juntian said, after five days of practice, when the power of the elixir is completely absorbed, Zhou Yun's cultivation will definitely reach a higher level.

　　hiss……

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun's abdominal cavity began to clap at a speed visible to the naked eye. The skin all over his body began to gradually turn dark red, his cheeks became sunken, and the skin on his face was completely attached to the teeth.

　　After accumulating enough strength, Zhou Yun's upper body suddenly leaned forward, his chest and abdomen shook, and he coughed violently.

　　cough……!

　　As soon as he opened his mouth, the blood that had accumulated in his chest was discharged from Zhou Yun's body. As the blood was discharged, Zhou Yun's complexion immediately became much better.

　　Chapter 6: The Nobles of Maple Grove Academy

　　After coughing up the blood, Zhou Yun took a deep breath to calm his body.

　　According to the current situation, he only needs to practice for one day to completely recover from his injuries.

　　Zhou Yun had just completed a stage of cultivation, and now he couldn't rush into the next stage of cultivation. He had to give his body a period of time to repair and buffer before he could continue to practice and heal his injuries.

　　Moreover, according to Zhou Yun's silent calculations, someone should come to see him during this period of time.

　　Sure enough, just when Zhou Yun closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for an incense stick of time, he heard footsteps outside the cave.

　　Hearing someone coming, Zhou Yun slowly stopped practicing and opened his eyes.

　　"Zhou Yun, why did you come here? You made your sister so worried, so she asked Uncle Qing to notify me to come out to find you." A figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. It was Li Yi. Seeing Zhou Yun meditating there, Li Yi immediately complained.

　　He knew that if he didn't go home for a day, his sister would be worried and would definitely send someone to notify Li Yi, so Zhou Yun dared to come here to practice without saying hello to Zhou Xue. For many years, Zhou Yun would practice in this cave by himself when he had nothing to do, and he believed that Li Yi would be able to find him.

　　"The martial arts examination is about to begin. I need to practice quietly for five days to be fully prepared." Zhou Yun spoke slowly with a smile on his face.

　　Although his tone was blunt, Li Yi had known Zhou Yun for three years and could naturally feel the changes in Zhou Yun. After not seeing him for just one day, Zhou Yun seemed to have matured a bit.

　　Originally Zhou Yun was already mature enough. At the age of fifteen, his cultivation, knowledge, and interpersonal relationships were already very good. This time, Li Yi clearly felt that Zhou Yun had become more stable. The little bit of edge that was originally exposed seemed to have been covered up, and he had become a person who was stable but sharp.

　　"It seems that you don't have to worry about the martial arts exam anymore. Then you should practice well. Do you need me to send you any food?" Li Yi originally wanted to encourage Zhou Yun to prepare well for the martial arts exam, but looking at Zhou Yun's current appearance, it was obvious that he had made preparations. Naturally, Li Yi didn't waste any more words.

　　"No, I'm not hungry. If I want to eat, I can go hunting by myself." With a slight smile, Zhou Yun rejected Li Yi's kindness.

　　"Well, you should be careful. I have to go back and inform Xiaoxue. I don't know how worried he is right now." Shaking his head, Li Yi turned and walked out of the cave.

　　Zhou Yun closed his eyes after watching Li Yi leave. The power contained in this blood coagulation pill was extremely strong and had an endless supply of power. Zhou Yun didn't need to eat at all, he just needed to digest the power.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun once again entered the state of cultivation.

　　In a blink of an eye, four days passed, the snow in Heyang City melted quietly, and the first spring breeze descended on the land of Tianyuan Continent, bringing a breath of vitality.

　　In the gentle breeze of spring, the atmosphere in the small town of Heyang has become lively because of the upcoming martial arts examination.

　　The military examinations of the Tianyuan Dynasty have always been a great heyday for the entire country. Although the country was founded only a short time ago and there are considerable crises on all four borders, the current Tianyuan Dynasty still has plenty of opportunities to make achievements. Many civilians and even children of foreign servants are dreaming of making achievements through the military examinations. Even some families that have been ennobled want to rely on their children to join the army to establish greater achievements and promote the further improvement of the family's status.

　　The military examinations of the Tianyuan Dynasty were directly organized by the state, with a strict and standardized process, leaving almost no room for tampering.

　　This is also to help the country select the best talents. No matter what your background is, at least on the stage, you will get equal opportunities.

　　There are still two days before the martial arts examination. The training grounds in the eastern suburbs of Heyang City have been arranged. The huge martial arts arena is of strict specifications, the classified examination rooms have been arranged, and the entire examination hall has been under martial law. The persons in charge of the examinations are directly transferred from the military forces of all levels of the Tianyuan Dynasty, and all the arrangements are disrupted, which eliminates the possibility of any tricks in the martial arts examination.

　　The assessment process notice has been posted on the notice board outside the training ground. Two days later, the assessment will officially begin.

　　As the sun was about to set, there were still many people gathered outside the Heyang City training ground, looking at the examination process listed on the list and discussing it.

　　"Just like last year, there are still only ten places for martial arts candidates in Heyang City to pass the exam."

　　"Last year, all ten martial arts candidates were descendants of nobles. It was the same in the previous years. It looks like this year will be the same result."

　　"It may not be the case this year. I heard that a genius has emerged in the Tiger Martial Arts Hall. His name is Zhou Yun. Although he is only fifteen years old, he has already reached the middle stage of the Leather Training Stage."

　　"Who told you this? A fifteen-year-old who is in the middle stage of skin training, there aren't many such people among the nobles, right? The students in the Tiger Martial Arts Hall are either commoners or servants, how could someone have such a high level of cultivation?"

　　"Hey, let's not think about these things. If my Niu Dan can pass the basic assessment and be admitted into the reserve army, I will be satisfied."

　　These people are all citizens of Heyang City. The annual martial arts examination is a major event for these ordinary people.

　　To be among the top ten among the thousands of candidates in Heyang City and become a martial arts candidate directly seemed too far away to them. Although there were no outstanding families in Heyang City, there was still one aristocratic family, four prominent families, and eight noble families. After adding the families who married into these noble families and some merchants, the descendants of the nobles were enough to divide up the ten places every year.

　　The poor in literature are better off than the rich in martial arts. If you want to learn martial arts well, you must have enough money, nutritious food, medicinal materials, and secret manuals for practicing martial arts, which are not available to ordinary people.

　　Therefore, being able to pass the basic assessment is the greatest hope these ordinary families have for their children.

　　The Tianyuan Dynasty's military examination was divided into two levels. Those who could rank in the top ten in a small examination area would be treated as reserve officers after entering the army, starting directly as a reserve sergeant, and their promotion would be faster. Those who could pass the basic military examination but could not rank in the top ten in a small examination area would be recruited into the reserve army for training as a supplement to the future soldiers of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　Although there are opportunities for promotion as an ordinary soldier, the difficulties are much greater.

　　However, for civilians, being able to let their children join the army is already a very good future. At least they can develop their skills and also receive high military pay.

　　"Get out of the way!" Just as these civilians were talking, an arrogant voice came directly over, and a group of civilians were pushed away by several strong servants and guards. Behind those guards, several men who looked like young masters walked to the front of the list in a dignified manner.

　　These people are all children of nobles in Heyang City. The students of Fenglin, the aristocratic martial arts academy in Heyang City, are just across the parade ground. Today is the last class before the martial arts examination. After school, these young men will naturally go to the notice board outside the parade ground to take a look.

　　"Lifting strength, archery, obstacles, and mental fortitude. These assessment items are no different from last year. There is no difficulty at all." Looking at the assessment items on the list, a young man in a dark blue robe with cloud patterns spoke contemptuously.

　　"Xu Chong, there's no need to say this. Anyone in Maple Forest College can easily pass these basic projects. To put it bluntly, these projects are mainly for testing the poor people in Menghu Martial Arts Hall. We still have to focus on the final arena battle. If you want to pass the martial arts exam, you still have to show your skills." After hearing the words of the blue-robed boy, a boy next to him who was wearing a brocade robe embroidered with a pattern of a fierce horse immediately smiled.

　　In the Tianyuan Dynasty, the fierce horse pattern was the pattern of the prominent families with military commanders, while the cloud pattern robe on the blue-robed boy did not have any beast patterns, which also represented his noble status. In the system of power and nobility in the Tianyuan Dynasty, the noble rank was also the lowest.

　　"Master Wang Yang is right. Our Fenglin Academy's goal this year is to sweep all the places for the martial arts candidates. With Master Wang Yang's support, everything will be safe." As soon as Wang Yang objected, Xu Chong immediately flattered him.

　　Although they are all descendants of nobility, there are still differences in their status. The status of prominent families is naturally higher than that of ordinary dignitaries.

　　"Whether or not you can sweep all the places in the martial arts examination does not depend on Young Master Wang Yang. It will be no problem for Young Master Wang to take the first place. The key still depends on you. Aren't you still at the middle level of leather training? I heard that there is also a man at the middle level of leather training in the Menghu Academy. Don't get beaten by him when the time comes. It's good that you don't pass the martial arts examination." As soon as Xu Chong finished his words, another young man at the side laughed out loud.

　　"Chen Ling, don't be so proud. Your cultivation is not much higher than mine. You'd better be careful about yourself." After being retorted by Chen Ling, Xu Chong immediately felt embarrassed. Wang Yang was from a prominent family, so he naturally did not dare to refute. The Chen family, to which Chen Ling belonged, was as distinguished as the Xu family, so he naturally would not be weak.

　　Seeing that the two of them were already starting to argue, Wang Yang waved his hand slightly and said calmly, "There is no need to argue about these things. Nobles will always be nobles, and commoners will always be commoners. I just hope that everyone will give their best in the assessment the day after tomorrow, and that the tradition of noble children taking up all the places in the martial arts examination will not be broken in our class."

　　It is obvious that Wang Yang has a very high status among this group of aristocratic descendants. Although there are several other descendants of prominent families besides him, it is obvious that this group of people revolves around Wang Yang.

　　"Don't worry, Young Master Wang. Even if the guy from the Tiger Martial Arts Hall has reached the middle level of skin training, does he know any profound martial arts? Just having the skills but not being able to display them is useless. The ten places for the martial arts examiner this time will be reserved for our Maple Forest Academy." After hearing what Wang Yang said, Xu Chong stopped looking for trouble with Chen Ling and quickly made a promise.

　　"Let's go." Without saying anything more, Wang Yang took a final look at the notice in front of him and turned to leave. The noble sons also followed Wang Yang and left the parade ground.

　　During the whole process, these noble sons did not even look at the common people who were gathered around them. Only after these noble sons had all left did the common people who were gathered there dare to speak.

　　"These bastards are so arrogant. Isn't it just because they have a good family background? This time, Zhou Yun from the Tiger Martial Arts Hall will definitely pass the martial arts exam and ruin their plans."

　　"Yes, when the martial arts exam begins, we should all go and cheer for Zhou Yun!"

　　"Okay, it's settled!"

　　After this drama, Zhou Yun had unknowingly become the hope of the common people in Heyang City.

　　Chapter 7: The Martial Arts Examination Begins

　　As night falls, the entire Luoxia Mountain becomes quiet.

　　call!

　　In the cave, Zhou Yun, who was meditating and regulating his breathing, exhaled a long breath and stood up.

　　Five days of training had been completed, and Zhou Yun's blood and qi were now stronger, and his physical condition had been adjusted to the best. The medicinal power of the blood coagulation pill had been completely absorbed by Zhou Yun.

　　"This blood-clotting pill is indeed a good thing. It's a pity that I don't have the martial arts technique for bone training, otherwise I would be able to rely on the power accumulated from the medicine this time to enter the bone training realm in one fell swoop." Feeling the power in his body, Zhou Yun said with some regret.

　　The martial arts on the Tianyuan Continent are like this. The higher the level, the more difficult the training method is. The tiger fist that Zhou Yun practiced can only allow the practitioner to reach the skin training level at most. If he wants to reach the next level of bone training, he needs a more advanced martial arts formula.

　　"It seems that I can only wait until I pass the martial arts examination and join the army, then rely on accumulated military resources to exchange for martial arts secrets." Shaking his head, Zhou Yun spoke silently.

　　Ever since the battle with Lin Juntian five days ago, Zhou Yun's understanding of martial arts has reached a new level. If one wants to have a strong cultivation level, hard work alone is far from enough.

　　If common people want to improve their cultivation, precious nutritious food and medicinal materials are restricted, as is profound martial arts techniques. I'm afraid this is the great opportunity that Lin Juntian mentioned.

　　For a moment, Zhou Yun's mind was a little dazed, but in just a moment, Zhou Yun had adjusted his mentality.

　　“Even if there are countless difficulties, we must work hard step by step and not complain about ourselves. No matter how difficult the future road is, we must take the step in front of us first. The martial arts examination the day after tomorrow is the first step I will take. This step must be taken steadily.”

　　After muttering to himself, Zhou Yun tidied his clothes, strode out of the cave, and headed quickly towards the Qin Mansion in Heyang City.

　　After staying quietly at home for a day, the next morning, the martial arts examination in Heyang City was finally about to begin.

　　Early in the morning, Li Yi had already arrived at the courtyard where Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue lived.

　　"Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun!" Li Yi shouted loudly as he entered the yard.

　　"Li Yi, he is still washing up, don't rush him." As soon as Li Yi finished shouting, Zhou Xue in white clothes walked out of the main room.

　　Seeing Zhou Xue, Li Yi's eyes lit up immediately, "Xiaoxue, I will accompany Zhou Yun to the training ground today. You prepare wine and food at home, and we will celebrate for Zhou Yun together after we come back."

　　"Are you so sure that I can pass the exam?" At this time, Zhou Yun's voice came from inside the house. Along with the voice, Zhou Yun, dressed in green tights, also appeared in front of Li Yi.

　　This set of green martial arts uniform was the one issued to Li Yi when he entered the Tiger Martial Arts Hall. Although it was a short shirt, it still gave him a majestic feeling when he wore it. Zhou Yun had been reluctant to wear this uniform because of today's martial arts examination.

　　"Haha, I don't know about others, but how can I not know your abilities?" Looking at Zhou Yun who was full of energy, Li Yi joked.

　　Looking at Li Yi and Zhou Yun in front of her, Zhou Xue showed a gentle smile on her beautiful face. She gently helped Zhou Yun tidy up his clothes and whispered, "Xiao Yun, pay attention and be careful not to get hurt."

　　Zhou Xue knew that Zhou Yun was aiming for the military examination. If he wanted to pass the examination, actual combat was inevitable, so Zhou Xue gave such instructions.

　　"Don't worry, sister. I will do my best." Nodding, Zhou Yun comforted Zhou Xue, then turned around and left the yard with Li Yi.

　　Along the way, Zhou Yun's steps were extremely steady and he maintained a calm state of mind.

　　The military examination has begun, and the entire Heyang City has been plunged into a jubilant atmosphere.

　　This is an annual event of the entire Tianyuan Dynasty. No matter whether you are a noble or an ordinary citizen, you will not be so calm when facing the martial arts examination.

　　Following the crowd together with Li Yi, in about an incense stick of time, the two had already left Heyang City and arrived at the edge of the parade ground in the east of the city.

　　The military examination has begun, and the atmosphere of the entire training ground is completely different from yesterday. There is a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Every few steps there is a soldier wearing black armor, a tight helmet and face guard, holding a round shield and a steel knife to guard the ground.

　　Each of these soldiers was full of vigor and vitality, standing majestically at their posts, motionless. Although most of these soldiers were still at the skin training level, when they were gathered together, they gave off a sense of majesty filled with murderous intent, which almost made people lose the will to resist at first sight.

　　This was the first time that Zhou Yun saw the regular army of the Tianyuan Dynasty. At first glance, even Zhou Yun was a little shocked, but he came to his senses in an instant.

　　"The Black Wolf Army under the command of General Zhenbei will supervise this year's martial arts examination. I didn't expect that it would be a frontline combat army that came to supervise. It seems that the court attaches great importance to this year's martial arts examination." As a descendant of an aristocratic family, Li Yi's knowledge is naturally better than Zhou Yun's. He recognized the group of people who would be supervising the martial arts examination this year at just one glance.

　　After hearing what Li Yi said, Zhou Yun also looked carefully, and found that every soldier had a black wolf pattern embroidered on the chest of their armor, and there was also a pair of depressions similar to wolf eyes in the upper middle part of the helmet. At first glance, they looked like real black wolves.

　　"A real army is indeed filled with murderous aura." Zhou Yun responded with a silent nod.

　　"This is normal. The black wolves of the grassland are bloodthirsty. The Black Wolf Iron Guards of the Hulun Dynasty are also their elite combat forces. The Black Wolf Army was built in imitation of Hulun's Black Wolf Iron Guards. Wolves are good at group attacks, and so is the Black Wolf Army. One Black Wolf Army soldier may not be a big deal, but two or three working together are enough to kill warriors above their level. It's extraordinary." While walking, Li Yi did not forget to remind Zhou Yun.

　　Nodding silently, Zhou Yun did not reply. The two of them walked along the edge of the parade ground towards its entrance.

　　Today, Li Yi was still wearing the finery of a noble family, while Zhou Yun was wearing the finery of the Tiger Martial Hall. These two clothes represented two extreme identities. Li Yi's family was the only noble family in Heyang City, second to none. Zhou Yun looked like a commoner or a servant. The two of them walking together naturally gave people a dizzy feeling.

　　How could two people with such different identities get together? This was the real thought of everyone who saw Li Yi and Zhou Yun team up.

　　Although they had known each other for a long time, Zhou Yun had never appeared with Li Yi before. Returning to Qin's house together a few days ago was almost the first time for the two of them to walk together on the streets of Heyang City. It was night time and not many people saw them.

　　Soon, the two of them had reached the entrance of the parade ground. At this time, a group of noble young men who came out of Maple Forest Academy opposite the parade ground also happened to walk here.

　　When they saw Li Yi, these noble gentlemen immediately showed respectful expressions on their faces.

　　"Mr. Li, are you here to observe the martial arts exam today as well? Could it be that any outside relatives are going to take the test?" The Li family, to which Li Yi belongs, is the only large family in Heyang City, with a higher status than all of them. Upon seeing Li Yi, Wang Yang, the leader of the group of young masters, immediately came up to him and asked.

　　"I am here to accompany Zhou Yun to take the exam. He is my good friend." Li Yi smiled at the young men in front of him and spoke calmly.

　　Zhou Yun!

　　After hearing Li Yi's words, all the noble sons immediately turned their eyes to Zhou Yun. This legendary genius of the Tiger Martial Arts Hall, the biggest obstacle for Maple Forest Academy to sweep all the places for the martial arts examinees, was actually standing in front of them at this moment, and standing together with Li Yi.

　　"I didn't expect that this young man is the legendary genius that emerges once every ten years in the Menghu Martial Arts Hall. I believe that young man Zhou Yun must have great ambitions for this martial arts examination. It is rumored among the people that young man Zhou Yun is determined to win a place in the martial arts examination." With a dark light flashing in his eyes, Wang Yang looked at Zhou Yun and spoke.

　　"Thank you. I am very determined to win, but I cannot accept it. I can only work hard for it." Zhou Yun said calmly, clasping his fists towards Wang Yang and performing a basic salute.

　　As if seeing that Zhou Yun didn't want to get along with these people, Li Yi also said, "Well, the martial arts exam is about to begin, so we'll leave now. I wish you all success and success in the exam."

　　"Mr. Li, please make yourself at your service." Li Yi spoke, and a group of noble young men naturally bowed to see him off.

　　After Li Yi and Zhou Yun walked away, the nobles began to speak.

　　"This Zhou Yun is really a bit crazy. He still dares to say that he will work hard to fight for it?" Looking coldly at Zhou Yun's back, Xu Chong said with disdain.

　　"Not entirely. I think Zhou Yun does have some skills. Xu Chong, you better be careful." Among all the noble young masters, only Chen Ling and Xu Chong didn't have a very good relationship. When he heard Xu Chong speak, Chen Ling immediately ridiculed him.

　　There are ten places for the martial arts examination this time, and there are exactly ten students from Maple Forest Academy taking the test. Among these ten people, Xu Chong has the weakest cultivation.

　　"Okay, stop arguing and getting angry. The ranking for the arena battle is based on the results of the basic assessment. You should try your best to get a higher position. If anyone meets Zhou Yun in advance during the battle, just get rid of him. Everyone remember, the dignity of the nobility must not be violated." Seeing that Xu Chong and Chen Ling were about to quarrel again, Wang Yang immediately waved his hand and spoke.

　　After hearing Wang Yang's words, all the noble students nodded vigorously.

　　The conflict between the privileged class and the ordinary people has a long history. Although the Tianyuan Dynasty has only been established for 30 years, there are still many nobles in the dynasty who are inherited from some well-established families in the previous dynasty. These inherent nobles have always been very resistant to new people joining their circle.

　　This is their mentality now when facing Zhou Yun.

　　After this little episode, a group of noble descendants followed Wang Yang and entered the parade ground of Heyang City.

　　As the time of the examination approached, all the people watching the martial arts examination and the candidates had gathered in the training ground. The entire training ground was divided into four large areas, and the middle area was an open square. At this moment, more than 900 candidates participating in this martial arts examination were gathered here.

　　Most of these candidates were commoners, and there were only ten noble candidates from Maple Forest College, and they naturally formed a small circle.

　　Being among many civilian candidates, Zhou Yun waited calmly. With less than a minute left before the test, Zhou Yun had made full preparations.

　　Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

　　Finally, the time has come, and waves of thrilling war drum sounds can be heard. This year's Tianyuan Dynasty martial arts examination is finally about to begin!

　　Chapter 8: Military Examination

　　With the sound of war drums, all the Black Wolf soldiers on the parade ground raised their swords and shields in an instant. Their steady movements caused the armor on their bodies to make a rattling sound, and a tremendous power burst out instantly!

　　ah!

　　Feeling the strong blood and murderous intent suddenly revealed by these Black Wolf soldiers, many candidates on the training ground were even trembling with fear. Because the stands were relatively far away from the training ground, and the soldiers all had their backs to the audience on the stands, there was no commotion on the stands, but even so, the entire stands became silent at that moment, and you could hear a pin drop.

　　In the training grounds, even the noble descendants of Maple Forest Academy could not help but turn pale after feeling the sudden burst of blood and murderous intent. However, Zhou Yun, who was standing quietly in the crowd at a distance, did not have any adverse reaction.

　　After the initial familiarization, the Black Wolf Army's momentum could no longer affect him. The initial shock was only because it was the first time that Zhou Yun saw a human being could emit such a shocking beast-like deterrence.

　　After getting familiar with it, Zhou Yun no longer had any other feelings. After all, he had been in close contact with Lightning for more than three years, and they often fought against each other. Zhou Yun could handle the blood pressure of Lightning's targeted attacks at close range with ease, let alone the situation in front of him.

　　Just as everyone was showing surprise, a majestic figure had already walked onto the main stage of the training ground.

　　The man was dressed in black armor, with the wolf-head fangs on his chest shining brightly and lifelike. Unlike ordinary soldiers, this man had flying shoulders with flowing cloud patterns, a black steel belt around his waist, wave-breaking steel boots on his feet, and a five-foot sword hanging from his waist. He looked indescribably majestic and extraordinary, obviously a veteran warrior.

　　Unlike ordinary soldiers, this general did not wear a face shield. Under the lowered helmet, a pair of wolf-like eyes were hidden in the darkness created by light and shadow, silently watching the reactions of all the candidates on the training ground below.

　　In an instant, whether panicking, trying to remain calm, or looking pale, the various states of the candidates were directly seen by the black-armored general.

　　Suddenly, a figure in green tights came into his sight. Although the candidate was thin, his body was straight, like an unopened sword stuck in the ground, motionless.

　　This person was Zhou Yun. Seeing Zhou Yun's calm reaction, the general showed an unintentional smile at the corner of his mouth.

　　"Attention all candidates!" In an instant, the general put away his smile, and spoke suddenly in a deep voice. His shout was like thunder, which immediately brought the attention of all the candidates on the training ground back to their original positions.

　　"This year, the Heyang City's military examination will be conducted by the Third Battalion of the Black Wolf Army's Vanguard under the command of the Tianyuan Dynasty's General Zhenbei. The basic assessment items to be conducted this morning include lifting strength, archery, obstacles, and mental perseverance. The first three items will be conducted alternately. Only those who pass the first three items can participate in the last item of the basic assessment, mental perseverance. Those who pass all four assessments can become the Tianyuan Dynasty's reserve soldiers and be awarded ten taels of silver. Three days later, the Ministry of War will uniformly assign them to various military camps."

　　"Now, all candidates, start the assessment in the order of your grades!"

　　The military officers of the Tianyuan Dynasty have always been like this. There was no word of encouragement, nor any unnecessary nonsense. After the basic rules were explained, the assessment began directly. The black-armored general also took a step back and sat directly on the main platform with his horse and sword. A pair of eyes hidden in the darkness quietly watched all the candidates below.

　　Although they did not look at each other directly, all the candidates still felt uneasy and did not dare to move at all.

　　"No. 1 to No. 300, follow me!"

　　"No. 301 to No. 600, follow me!"

　　"Those after number 600, follow me!"

　　As soon as the order to start the examination was issued, three teams of soldiers stepped forward and shouted orders to all the candidates in the field.

　　Zhou Yun's number had been determined when he applied for the exam a month ago. It was No. 412. Following the second sergeant who called out the number, Zhou Yun walked over quickly.

　　After a slight chaos, the more than 900 candidates in the field had been divided into three teams. Zhou Yun followed the sergeant leading the second team to an area on the west side of the training ground.

　　Zhou Yun had already made preparations for this assessment. As soon as he saw the venue, he knew that this was an obstacle course in the basic assessment. Various obstacles were set up on a 100-meter runway, including fences, high walls, deep pits, passages where one had to lean forward to move forward, a knife array hung with sharp knives, and an obstacle beach about 50 meters long.

　　The distance of 100 meters is exactly 200 meters. Such an obstacle course is not easy to pass, especially since the candidates not only need to pass it, but also need to pass it within the specified time, which makes it even more difficult.

　　"The 200-meter obstacle course. Those who can finish within four inhalations will be given excellent grades, those who can finish within five inhalations will be given good grades, and those who can finish within six inhalations will be given passed grades. Those who cannot finish within six inhalations will be eliminated! Now, start the assessment according to your numbers!" All the candidates have lined up according to their numbers, and the leader of the team of soldiers immediately began to make arrangements.

　　The Tianyuan Dynasty army's short-term timing was determined by the number of breaths. The standard for one breath was ten seconds, which was exactly the time it took a warrior with skin training skills to breathe under normal circumstances.

　　A 200-meter passage with a turn in the middle, even if there were no obstacles, it would be very difficult to finish it in a little more than two breaths. Now with so many obstacles, the time is only doubled. Four breaths can be excellent, this difficulty is really extraordinary.

　　"The test will be conducted in groups of ten, with departure times one breath apart. The first group is No. 301 to 310. The remaining candidates will be divided into groups of ten, start preparing."

　　As soon as the examiner finished speaking, the ten candidates ranked from 301 to 310 immediately came over and stood in order at the starting point.

　　Seeing that the candidate at the front of the line was ready, the sergeant in charge of the law immediately said in a deep voice, "Get ready!"

　　"Set off!"

　　At the command, candidate No. 301 immediately rushed out like an arrow. The first obstacle in the entire passage was three consecutive five-foot-high fences, nine meters apart from each fence. The fences were not straight up and down, but more than one foot wide. In other words, in order to jump over them safely, not only height was required, but also a certain amount of air stay and distance, while also ensuring speed.

　　The first candidate was too nervous and used too much force in his first jump. After jumping over the first hurdle, he rushed forward several steps. After he released his strength and wanted to exert force again, he was already very close to the second hurdle.

　　Candidate No. 301 was not well prepared for the jump and his abdomen was cut by the sharp bamboo fence, and he was unable to continue.

　　"No. 301, eliminated, the next one get ready!" With a stern look on his face, the sergeant in charge of the law gave the order directly to the second candidate.

　　Although the time for the first breath has not yet come, the first candidate has already failed, so there is no need to wait any longer.

　　The first candidate who took part in the obstacle test failed as soon as he appeared on the stage, which put great pressure on the people behind him. Then, only one of the ten candidates in the first group passed the test, and his score was just barely controlled within six breaths, barely qualified.

　　The obstacle test was located closest to the main stage. Li Yi was sitting next to the main stage, concentrating on the situation on the field. Although the obstacle test looked very difficult, Li Yi still had full confidence in Zhou Yun.

　　The candidates taking the obstacle test below are continuously taking the test. After the previous few rounds, the success rate of the candidates is getting higher and higher. Some candidates have quickly summed up their experience, and even one of them has achieved good results, controlling the time to pass all obstacles within five breaths!

　　"Brother Li, I didn't expect to meet you here." Nine groups of people had already completed the assessment, and the tenth group was now taking the assessment, while Zhou Yun was in the twelfth group and was about to appear. Just as Li Yi was concentrating on watching, a voice with a hint of laughter sounded in his ears.

　　When he looked up, Li Yi's pupils shrank slightly. The person who came was Zhao Guang, who wanted to bully Zhou Xue in Qin's mansion that day. He absolutely did not like this person, but they were both descendants of aristocratic families, so it was not convenient for Li Yi to ignore him. What's more, Zhao Guang was accompanied by Qin Lan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family.

　　In any case, Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue are still Qin's external servants. If they offend them rashly, it will definitely be bad for Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue.

　　"It's Brother Zhao and Miss Qin." Li Yi stood up politely and bowed to the two of them.

　　"Brother Li, are you here to see Zhou Yun? It seems that Brother Li is really deeply in love with Zhou Xue, which is really touching." The three of them greeted each other politely and sat down one by one. Looking at Zhou Yun who was waiting for the test in the middle of the field, Qin Lan showed a gentle smile on her face and spoke softly.

　　Li Yi frowned slightly and responded, "Miss Qin is joking." Although he had confessed to Zhao Guang that Zhou Xue was his confidante, Li Yi would not say much in front of Qin Lan. After all, Zhou Xue was still a servant of the Qin family, and such words would inevitably lose the demeanor of a child of an aristocratic family.

　　Moreover, in Heyang City, the relationship between the Li family and the Qin family is also extremely delicate. Heyang is a small city, and the number of titles for aristocratic families in such a small city is fixed, and there can only be one family.

　　The Qin family's status has risen in recent years because of the emergence of two powerful figures in the second generation, who have become generals at the age of more than 30 years old. Li Yi naturally knows that the Qin family has been planning to replace them.

　　"Haha, I have seen Brother Li's frankness with my own eyes, and I really admire him. However, Brother Li wants to put his hopes on Zhou Yun, which is not appropriate. Passing the basic assessment of the military examination can only make you a soldier at best. Not to mention promotion, it takes three years to even set up a household on your own." Although Li Yi did not respond, Zhao Guang and Qin Lan were of one mind, so they naturally did not want to let go of this topic easily. Looking at Li Yi, Zhao Guang also spoke slowly.

　　"What if Zhou Yun can pass the military examination?" Qin Lan and Zhao Guang sang the same tune, clearly looking down on Zhou Yun. Li Yi couldn't help but speak up for Zhou Yun.

　　"Oh? If Zhou Yun really has such ability, I'm afraid our Qin family will have a talented person, or one less talented person." Qin Lan laughed softly, like a silver bell, glanced at Li Yi charmingly, and spoke softly.

　　Chapter 9 Amazing Results

　　According to the legislation of the Tianyuan Dynasty, if the servants of the nobles were ordinary soldiers, they had to fight for three years before they could leave their master's family and set up their own household.

　　And if one can pass the military examination and become a military candidate, he can immediately set up a household registration.

　　This is exactly what Qin Lan meant by that. If Zhou Yun could really pass the military examination, then the Qin family would have gained a capable person but also lost him.

　　"Haha, this may be really not easy. I heard that this time, people from Maple Forest Academy are going to take up all the places for the martial arts candidates, and the scores of the basic assessment will be counted into the ranking for the final arena. Even if Zhou Yun has a high level of cultivation, he still needs to practice riding and shooting. If he doesn't get high scores, even if he participates in the arena, his ranking will be very low. Maybe in the first few rounds of the arena, he will meet the strongest player from Maple Forest Academy. By that time..." With a smile still on his face, Zhao Guang leaned back in his chair and spoke frivolously.

　　Knowing that what Zhao Guang said was the truth, Zhou Yun had no way of practicing horse riding and archery given his own conditions. He could not afford either horses or bows and arrows. Even if he had some training, his lack of archery skills would definitely hold him back.

　　good!!!

　　At this moment, Wang Yang, who was tested in the first round of horseback archery, came on the stage. He shot three arrows in succession and hit the bull's eye, getting an excellent score directly.

　　As soon as the skill of shooting three arrows in succession was demonstrated, it immediately won applause from the whole audience.

　　Seeing this, Li Yi's face became more solemn. Seeing that Li Yi was no longer talking, Qin Lan and Zhao Guang smiled at each other and said nothing. At this time, Zhou Yun was also preparing to take the obstacle test below.

　　Although the training ground in Heyang City was very large, Zhou Yun had no problem seeing the general situation in another examination room in the distance with his current eyesight. With just one glance, Zhou Yun knew what was happening over there.

　　Three shots in a row, each arrow hit the target. Zhou Yun knew that he definitely didn't have such archery skills. Although he had no problem pulling the bow and arrow, shooting arrows while riding a horse required long-term practice in addition to cultivation skills. Zhou Yun had never ridden a horse before, and he had only practiced archery a few times with his instructor in the martial arts hall, so his level was not really high.

　　Zhou Yun knew that his score in horse riding and archery was at best passing. In this case, if he wanted to get a high ranking in the basic assessment and avoid encountering too many strong opponents too early, Zhou Yun had to strive for good results in the other three assessments.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun made a plan in his mind.

　　Anyway, we are going to leave the Qin family and start our own business, so let’s show it today!

　　"Number 412, get ready!"

　　At this time, the sergeant in charge of the law also called out Zhou Yun's number.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun calmed down his entire body and entered a state of concentration. As he was fully immersed in it, Zhou Yun's entire feeling changed noticeably.

　　His knees were slightly bent, his waist was bent, his shoulders drooped, his neck slightly stretched out, and his pair of burning eyes were looking straight ahead. Although he had leaned forward a great deal, it seemed as if there was a tail supporting his body from behind, making Zhou Yun at this moment enter a state of balance and accumulation of strength, like a wild beast that was about to break out of the cage at the next moment!

　　"You've actually practiced the Tiger Fist to such an extent!" Seeing Zhou Yun's movements, the black-armored general on the main stage's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help but lean forward a little. He had been paying close attention to Zhou Yun since he scanned the candidates on the training ground just now, and now seeing Zhou Yun's performance, the black-armored general spoke up immediately.

　　Zhao Guang and Qin Lan on the stands also showed inexplicable surprise on their faces. They were not ignorant of martial arts. Just by looking at the posture, they knew that Zhou Yun's cultivation was not weak at all!

　　"Let's go!" Finally, the sergeant in charge of giving the order waved the flag in his hand. It seemed that he was infected by Zhou Yun's momentum. The sergeant's shouting when giving the order was three points more majestic than usual.

　　call!

　　At the command, Zhou Yun pounced out like a nimble tiger, his feet stepping on the ground at an extremely fast frequency. Each time he stepped on the ground, he leaped forward six feet. After three steps, Zhou Yun was only three meters away from the first fence.

　　"Hey!"

　　With a light shout, Zhou Yun flew into the air and flew over the first fence with an elegant and smooth somersault.

　　It was a perfect flight, not a skip. Because Zhou Yun's movements were not like some candidates who used force to jump over, but the height and posture were just right, with both hands forward and the body stretched, and the whole person flew smoothly like an upside-down crescent moon.

　　Just before landing, Zhou Yun patted the ground lightly with one hand, rolled sideways, and directly relieved the force. He stood up and took a step. After that, Zhou Yun jumped up again, followed by another perfect leap. He jumped over the third fence with the same action.

　　There are three fences and a distance of thirty meters. Zhou Yun only used two-fifths of the time, just over four seconds!

　　After a set of perfect movements, Zhou Yun had attracted the attention of the entire examination room. No matter whether it was the soldiers guarding the examination room, the candidates taking the test, or the audience in the stands, everyone was attracted by this figure in a green tights.

　　Behind the fence is a large pit that is fifteen meters long and four meters deep, and less than three meters away from the pit there is a wooden wall that is also four meters high!

　　Four meters plus four meters is a height of eight meters. Especially after jumping up from the deep pit, there are only three meters between the wooden wall and there is almost no time for a running start. It can be said that this is the most difficult level in the entire obstacle assessment.

　　Except for this level, all the levels can be passed as long as you are careful. Only this level requires absolute strength. Most of the candidates failed here!

　　Zhou Yun attracted everyone's attention with a beautiful move. Now, everyone in the audience was waiting to see how he would pass this most difficult combination obstacle.

　　Without stopping, Zhou Yun jumped directly into the deep pit. At first glance, it seemed that Zhou Yun jumped directly down, but in fact, the moment he went into the pit, Zhou Yun's body had been lowered to an unprecedented level. His entire body was lowered from a height of 1.8 meters to less than 60 centimeters.

　　As his feet touched the ground, Zhou Yun opened his arms and stretched his body, instantly reducing the downward force of jumping into the pit to the minimum.

　　Time seemed to slow down by half in an instant, and Zhou Yun fell into the deep pit almost weightlessly. He just bent down and slapped the ground with his right hand to remove most of the inertia.

　　With his body slightly bounced, Zhou Yun once again increased his speed to the limit.

　　The ten-meter sprint passed in a flash, and Zhou Yun had already reached the end of the deep pit!

　　"ha!"

　　With a powerful step of his left leg, Zhou Yun, who had adjusted his pace, flew up again, rising to a height of four meters. Without using his feet directly, when he rose to a height of more than three meters, Zhou Yun pressed the edge of the deep pit with his right hand, raised and bent his waist, and then stepped on the edge of the deep pit with his left foot.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun's calves and thighs were bent at an angle of 135 degrees, and his entire upper body was completely folded up, with his chest and abdomen almost completely attached to his thighs.

　　He took a small step of only two feet with his right foot, and then took another small step of the same distance with his left foot, and at the same time, he pushed hard and jumped up again. During the adjustment and force-exertion period of these two steps, Zhou Yun's upper body had straightened up again.

　　sand!

　　Zhou Yun's left foot rubbed the ground hard, bringing up a piece of yellow soil. In a flash, Zhou Yun had risen to a height of more than three meters again. His right foot pushed against the wooden wall, and his hands had already grabbed the upper edge of the wooden wall at the same time. He pushed hard with his right foot and pulled forward with both hands at the same time. Zhou Yun had already jumped over the wooden wall and almost flew horizontally behind the wooden wall.

　　"good!!!"

　　Seeing Zhou Yun overcome the most difficult obstacle so gracefully and so easily, the audience in the stands of the entire parade ground went completely crazy. This was the first time many of them had seen such a brilliant and graceful move!

　　Even many soldiers guarding the training ground couldn't help but gleam in their eyes when they saw Zhou Yun's actions. To be fair, even if most of them could overcome these obstacles, they might not do better than Zhou Yun.

　　Immediately behind the high wooden wall is an array of spikes that requires one to lean forward to advance. Sharp steel spikes are fixed and hung on the wooden ceiling, and candidates can only crawl through the low space less than one and a half feet below. If they are not careful, their backs will be stabbed and bleeding!

　　The thorn array was only ten meters away from the high wall, and Zhou Yun had just used the force of his arms to fall over the wooden wall. When he landed, he was less than three meters away from the entrance of the thorn array. He had no time to adjust. Seeing Zhou Yun's situation, the cheering crowd on the training ground immediately became surprisingly quiet.

　　Zhou Yun's previous performance was too perfect, and the time consumed until now was less than a breath. Everyone expected Zhou Yun to create an earth-shaking result. They didn't want Zhou Yun to have any accidents, but at this time, Zhou Yun made them see the most unexpected scene.

　　When falling from the high wall, Zhou Yun leaped sideways with his whole body stretched out. When he landed, Zhou Yun did not even get up, but instead used the forward force to leap forward directly.

　　His whole body was as straight as a javelin, and Zhou Yun's toes kept pushing forward, while his palms kept hitting the ground at his chest and abdomen, while sliding backwards to drive his body forward.

　　It was like performing the Iron Bridge Kung Fu in reverse. At this moment, there was no dirt on Zhou Yun's abdomen. His toes kept pushing the ground and his hips were constantly twisting. He looked like a nimble fish swimming in his hands.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun pass through the 15-meter-long array so easily and quickly, the spectators on the training ground could no longer contain their excitement and cheered wildly.

　　Through the thorn array, Zhou Yun had already completed the first hundred meters of this passage, and it only took him one and a half breaths of time!

　　After crossing the turning line, Zhou Yun now only had the 100 meters left to return. This 100-meter obstacle consisted of a 25-meter-long forest of swords, a 20-meter-long single-wood beam, and 50 meters of sand.

　　It can be said that the most difficult part of the obstacle test has passed. Amid the crazy cheers of all the spectators, Zhou Yun easily and swiftly passed the final knife array, single-log beam and sand.

　　"Candidate No. 412, Zhou Yun, successfully passed the obstacle test, and his score is..."

　　"Three inhalations! Excellent!"

　　When the sergeant in charge of the assessment involuntarily and loudly announced Zhou Yun's results, there was only one voice left on the entire training ground.

　　“Zhou Yun!” “Zhou Yun!” “Zhou Yun!”

　　Chapter 10: Mysterious Big Reward

　　Three suctions!

　　This result was twice as fast as the qualifying score, which was simply unbelievable. In addition, Zhou Yun's reasonable body control and precise and smooth movements when passing the obstacles shocked all the spectators in the training ground.

　　Especially when they heard that this candidate was Zhou Yun, the only one from the Tiger Martial Hall who could threaten the noble students of Maple Forest Academy, many civilians in the stands went crazy.

　　Even the black-armored general sitting on the main stage couldn't help but nod again and again.

　　"What do you think? Do you still think Zhou Yun can't pass the military examination?" After seeing Zhou Yun's performance, Li Yi was shocked and also felt extremely proud.

　　Looking at Zhao Guang and Qin Lan who looked shocked, Li Yi smiled.

　　"Hmph, it's just a basic obstacle test. Let's talk about it after he passes all the tests." With a light snort, Zhao Guang replied stiffly and stopped talking.

　　Zhou Yun's behavior made Zhao Guang feel a little embarrassed, while Qin Lan's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light.

　　After the results were announced, Zhou Yun, standing among the group of examinees, clearly felt that he had become the focus of everyone's attention. The eyes around him were full of envy, admiration, and a hint of hostility.

　　Glancing from afar at the examination hall for the horseback archery test, Zhou Yun immediately grasped the source of this hint of hostility.

　　Standing at the riding and archery test site, Wang Yang had a hint of resentment in his eyes. He had always been called a martial arts genius by everyone. At the age of fifteen, he had reached the peak of martial arts training, which was already a remarkable achievement.

　　He was the undisputed number one in Maple Forest Academy, and was treated like a star by all the nobles. Wang Yang was also used to being the center of attention. In the horseback archery test, he had won the applause of the whole audience with a beautiful three-arrow spurt. He was originally feeling very proud, but he didn't expect that before he could even finish a minute, all his limelight was taken away from him.

　　The most important thing is that the one who stole his limelight was a lowly servant.

　　"Master Wang Yang, don't worry about it. Let Zhou Yun be arrogant for a few minutes. When the battle comes in the ring, no matter who of us meets him, we will make him suffer heavy losses." Seeing the change in Wang Yang's expression, Xu Chong immediately came forward to please him.

　　"It's better to let him meet me directly." With a flash of cold light in his eyes, Wang Yang muttered gloomily and turned around.

　　As Wang Yang turned around, the hostility disappeared immediately, but Zhou Yun still felt the obvious threat.

　　"It seems that this martial arts examination is destined not to be peaceful." Looking from afar at the place where the noble children gathered, Zhou Yun spoke silently.

　　After Zhou Yun's outstanding performance, the atmosphere in the entire training ground changed significantly, and Zhou Yun had become the most watched person.

　　Most of the people watching the martial arts examination in the stands were commoners from Heyang City. Zhou Yun's performance gave them infinite hope. In this year's martial arts examination, children of commoners might really break the monopoly of the aristocratic class on martial arts candidates.

　　The subsequent assessments were carried out step by step. Zhou Yun carefully passed the assessment of horseback archery and only received a qualified evaluation. However, he performed well in the strength test and received an excellent evaluation.

　　After three rounds of assessments, the number of 900 candidates has been reduced to less than 300, which shows the strictness of the assessment this year.

　　In the first three assessments, Zhou Yun had two excellent scores and one qualified score, and his overall ranking had already entered the top 20. Most of the noble descendants of Maple Forest Academy had two excellent scores and one good score, and even Wang Yang had three excellent scores.

　　But even so, he still did not overshadow Zhou Yun. After all, Zhou Yun's achievement of passing all obstacles in three breaths was too shocking, and although Wang Yang tried his best, he only barely made it to the fourth breath. He was not comparable to Zhou Yun at all.

　　In addition to Zhou Yun's identity as a foreign servant, he gained the support of almost all the civilians in the stands.

　　"Okay! The first three rounds of basic assessments have all been completed. Next, we will conduct the final assessment, mental perseverance! All candidates who are still eligible to take the assessment should prepare to start the assessment according to their badges!" The first three assessments were all over, and all the candidates gathered again. A centurion in charge of the specific assessment tasks immediately gave the order.

　　After three rounds of difficult tests, almost all the candidates who are still able to stand in the examination room have entered the realm of skin training, which is considered to be the initial exploration of the door of martial arts. Excluding the group with poor cultivation, the remaining people in the training ground are already the elite among this year's candidates.

　　At the command, all the candidates lined up according to their numbers and immediately formed a square under the main stage, and the last examination room was finally opened.

　　Several soldiers quickly stepped forward and tore open the curtain under the main stage, immediately revealing five dark passages inside.

　　As the passage opened, a bloody smell immediately came from the passage, and in the bloody smell there seemed to be bursts of screams and roars of wild beasts.

　　Feeling the oppressive feeling coming from the passage, the expressions of all the candidates changed immediately, while the soldiers of the Black Wolf Army remained as usual.

　　"If you want to become a qualified sergeant, you must have strong psychological qualities and mental endurance. The five passages in front of you are real simulations of the battlefield. In the passages, you will see a truly tragic battlefield!" Ling Ran looked at the group of candidates in front of him, and a centurion of the Black Wolf Army, Ling Ran, spoke.

　　"This passage is 150 meters long. The first 100 meters are divided into three levels. If you can advance 50 meters, you pass! 75 meters, good, 100 meters, excellent!"

　　"Okay, now the first five candidates in line, get ready to enter!" After the brief speech, the centurion waved his hand and gave the order directly.

　　Among the top five people, there happened to be Wang Yang and two other noble sons. Zhou Yun naturally valued these potential opponents. Although this level of assessment was not like the previous assessments where one could observe the difficulty of the assessment later, one could still guess something from the reactions of these people.

　　Seeing Wang Yang and others preparing to enter the passage, Zhou Yun immediately held his breath and paid attention.

　　At this moment, Wang Yang was a little nervous. According to the seniors who had participated in the assessment in previous years, the mental strength assessment was that some powerful soldiers would use their qi and blood to pressure the candidates and launch fake moves to test their ability to withstand. There was nothing bloody about it. However, it was obvious that this year's assessment did not seem to be like this.

　　Feeling nervous, Wang Yang and several other candidates slowly entered five dark passages.

　　"Ah!" Before the five people had even taken a breath, a candidate immediately ran out screaming. Compared with before entering the passage, this candidate's whole spirit seemed to have been scattered, as if he had been extremely frightened.

　　"Eliminate him, take him away." The centurion spoke with a cold look at the frightened candidate.

　　In less than a breath of time, two more candidates ran out. Although they did not collapse mentally, it was obvious that they did not walk the required distance and were all eliminated.

　　After another four or five breaths, a nobleman came out with a pale face. Judging from the way his feet were trembling, it was obvious that he was not feeling well.

　　"Fifty meters, passed! Rated as qualified!" With an indifferent glance at the noble son, the centurion nodded secretly and announced the result.

　　There are five candidates in a round, three are eliminated, and currently only one person has passed the test. This has put tremendous pressure on everyone. At this moment, all the candidates almost held their breath, and a trace of worry arose in their hearts.

　　Because the candidates who came out of the passage were taken away directly, and no one told them what terrible things were in the passage, for a moment, all the candidates felt a sense of fear in their hearts.

　　At this moment, Wang Yang's figure appeared at the exit of the passage. His face was also pale and his forehead was covered with sweat.

　　"Sixty-eight meters, passed! Rated as qualified!" Looking at Wang Yang, the centurion shook his head with some regret and gave the result.

　　Hearing this, Zhou Yun's brows immediately frowned slightly.

　　Zhou Yun knew Wang Yang, who was the recognized number one genius in the third grade of Maple Forest Academy. At the age of fifteen, his martial arts had reached the peak of skin training. Although his skills were the same as his, Wang Yang took longer to reach the peak of skin training. Moreover, since Wang Yang was from a prominent family, the skills he practiced must be very powerful, and his actual combat ability should not be underestimated. Zhou Yun had never wanted to meet him in a ring battle too early.

　　According to previous results, if nothing unexpected happened, Wang Yang would definitely rank first, but now he only got a passing grade in the mental assessment. If he can get an excellent grade, then he can catch up with Wang Yang in terms of results.

　　Maybe it would be okay to be the No. 1 seed. If he could rank first in the basic assessment, he could avoid many strong opponents in the ring, and it would not be a problem to get into the top ten. Looking at Wang Yang's departing back, Zhou Yun decisively smelled an opportunity.

　　"Next group!"

　　The first set of examinations has been completed, and all the candidates are in a state of tension, but the examinations still have to continue.

　　Time passed by little by little, and twenty groups of candidates had already been assessed. Among them, the best result was only good, and only one-third could reach the passing standard!

　　Before we knew it, Zhou Yun was about to appear on stage.

　　At this time, the black-armored general on the main stage was still sitting quietly in his seat.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun was about to start the assessment, the black-armored general showed a barely perceptible smile on his face, and said to the adjutant beside him, "Donglin, do you think that little guy has a chance of getting the big reward inside?"

　　After hearing the words of the black-armored general, a soldier next to him who was also wearing black armor looked at Zhou Yun below and smiled, "You mean the boy in the green suit? Although he is of humble origin, he is quite capable. But I think he is still a little short of getting the reward. The final reward is not something that can scare people. Without strong combat power, not only will you not be able to take it, but you may also lose your life."

　　There was a knife scar on the general's face that went from the right eyebrow to the corner of his mouth. It was quite scary, and even more frightening when he smiled.

　　"Yes, although it is difficult, it is indeed tempting. That is the treasure box bestowed by General Shenwei himself. Even I am envious when I see it, but I don't know what is inside." After hearing the adjutant's words, the black-armored general couldn't help licking his lips, revealing a yearning look.

　　“Haha, I’m afraid that not many examination areas across the country will be able to get this reward, and in the end it will all be returned to General Shenwei, and no one will get it. So you don’t have to feel unbalanced.” When talking about General Shenwei, the adjutant couldn’t help but reveal a look of desire on his face, but then he shook his head.

　　"Okay, he's about to go in. Let's just wait for the result quietly." At this time, it was Zhou Yun's turn to take the test. Seeing Zhou Yun step forward, the black-armored general immediately waved his hand and spoke.

　　Chapter 11 Living Creatures

　　"You five, get ready to go in." By the time Zhou Yun came here, the test had already been more than halfway through. Zhou Yun and five other candidates stood in front of the passage, and the centurion also gave the order to get ready.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun was standing very close to the cave entrance. Standing at such a close distance, the bloody smell in the cave became more obvious, causing Zhou Yun's skin and flesh to tense up.

　　"Set off!"

　　As the centurion waved the command flag, Zhou Yun and others had to enter the cave in front of them immediately.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun tried to calm his breathing, concentrated and was on guard, then entered the cave.

　　As soon as we entered the cave, the bloody smell became stronger. There seemed to be faint sounds of shouting and screaming, mixed in with the roars of wild beasts.

　　Combined with what the centurion said just now, Zhou Yun has roughly guessed the situation in the cave. The centurion said that this time he wanted to let all the candidates experience a truly tragic battlefield, so this place would probably be arranged to be a scene after a brutal fight, and even broken limbs and horrific corpses might appear.

　　Sure enough, after walking a dozen meters, several corpses appeared in front of Zhou Yun. One of them was facing away from Zhou Yun, and a deep knife wound that could be seen through the bone was cut diagonally, almost piercing the entire corpse. The other corpses also died in different ways, but their eyes were closed. Although the color of the skin and the smell made people feel uncomfortable, Zhou Yun did not have any adverse reactions.

　　Up to now, everything is exactly the same as Zhou Yun guessed. Now Zhou Yun has walked to an area of ​​nearly 20 meters. It is the first time that corpses have appeared in the 5-meter-radius passage. It seems that the first candidate who entered the passage and was frightened to collapse was because of suddenly seeing these corpses.

　　Instead of rushing over, Zhou Yun stopped and carefully examined the bodies in front of him.

　　These people were all wearing leather clothes, their skin was reddish, and they were sturdy and strong. One of the corpses was holding a weapon in his hand, which was a crescent-shaped scimitar. Looking at these details, Zhou Yun knew that these should be soldiers from the Hulun Dynasty in northern Xinjiang.

　　The Black Wolf Army's combat target was the Hulun Dynasty. Compared to the corpses they brought back from the battlefield, it seemed that the time of death was relatively recent, probably within seven days.

　　After careful observation and analysis, Zhou Yun's reaction to these corpses has become much calmer, which is exactly what Zhou Yun wants to achieve. Now Zhou Yun is even using his martial arts experience to analyze the way these corpses died and the cultivation level of the people who killed them.

　　After looking at these corpses, Zhou Yun continued to move forward. After a while, several corpses with relatively more tragic death conditions appeared in front of Zhou Yun. Due to the sufficient preparation before, Zhou Yun's heart remained calm and he was not panicked at all.

　　After analyzing the causes of death of these corpses, Zhou Yun even took a Hulun saber from the hand of one of the corpses. As Zhou Yun continued to go deeper, the shouts of the battlefield in the passage were still there, without any changes, but the roars of some wild beasts became clearer.

　　By this time Zhou Yun had already suspected that there were indeed living wild animals, or even ferocious beasts, in the depths of this passage!

　　Having a weapon for self-defense can also increase the safety factor a lot. Moreover, this saber is made of the Tianyan steel unique to the Hulun Dynasty. It is also a rare and good weapon. At least Zhou Yun has never owned such a weapon before.

　　After passing two groups of corpses in succession, Zhou Yun had already crossed the fifty-meter limit. Once he passed the fifty-meter limit, the entire passage immediately became much wider. The entire space exuded a dark red color. Although there was no strong lighting, the visibility of the entire space rose in an instant!

　　Seeing the scene in the passage in front of him, Zhou Yun's footsteps suddenly stopped!

　　"This is not a battlefield at all, it's simply Asura Purgatory! Is this what a real battlefield is like?" For the first time, Zhou Yun's heart began to beat violently after entering the passage.

　　The density of corpses in the space before him was so great that it was almost impossible for Zhou Yun to find a place to step among the pile of corpses!

　　The most important thing is that the eyes of these corpses are all open, and they are holding weapons in their hands. Many of them have obviously retained the expressions they had before death. Some of them are so lifelike that it is difficult to tell whether they are dead bodies or living people standing there motionless, waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun's mental pressure suddenly increased, and all the muscles in his body were tensed.

　　Bending his body slightly, Zhou Yun took a deep breath, his pupils shrank slightly, and he entered a state of alert. Taking a slow step, Zhou Yun put most of his mental energy on guarding against sudden dangers and feeling the changes in the surrounding Qi and blood. In this state, the terrifying corpses around him could hardly affect him anymore.

　　As Zhou Yun continued to move forward, the 75-meter limit was already within sight.

　　At the far end, a Hulun general holding a big axe stood there, his eyes still wide open with anger. The axe in his hand was raised high, as if he was going to chop it down from the air and cut in half anyone who dared to pass through this passage.

　　The general's face was lifelike, almost like a living person, and even his skin color did not change much.

　　Zhou Yun naturally knew that this was because the warrior's cultivation had reached the level of muscle training, and the strength of his body was already different from that of ordinary people. The body of such a person would not rot for a period of time after death!

　　Wang Yang had just walked along this passage, and his final result was 68 meters. He was probably frightened by the generals standing here and dared not move forward.

　　Judging from the time Wang Yang stayed in the passage just now, it was probably with the intention of rushing in as far as possible. He did not move forward smoothly along the way and familiarize himself with the environment, so he was suddenly startled and hurriedly retreated.

　　Zhou Yun now has no such problem. He has carefully checked almost all the corpses along the way and has now developed a trace of immunity.

　　Although the Hulun general's movements were realistic, Zhou Yun could clearly see the dent on his chest armor. It was obvious that the general was punched in the chest while swinging the battle axe, and his lungs were shattered and he died.

　　"It's impossible to kill a martial arts general at the muscle training level with just one punch. I don't know what level of cultivation the person has. It seems that the situation on the battlefield is really dangerous." Zhou Yun muttered to himself, and his heart calmed down again. With a light leap, Zhou Yun passed directly by the Hulun general, and the dead body didn't move at all.

　　At this time, the four people who had taken the test with Zhou Yun had already walked out. Two of them passed, two were eliminated, and only Zhou Yun was still in the passage.

　　An incense stick of time has passed since Zhou Yun entered. This is the longest time he has stayed in the cave since the assessment began.

　　On the main stage, the black-armored warrior was also listening to his subordinates' reports at any time and paying attention to Zhou Yun's movements.

　　"Good, he is actually approaching the 100-meter mark. It seems that the first excellent candidate in the mental perseverance test is about to come out. I just don't know if he will continue to move forward and pursue the final treasure box." After hearing the latest report from his subordinates, the black-armored general leaned back in his chair and smiled.

　　In his opinion, it was foreseeable that Zhou Yun could achieve this result.

　　He himself had been in the army for five years and had killed countless people, especially when he had just come off the battlefield, the murderous intent around him was even stronger. Just now, Zhou Yun was the only candidate in the audience who was not afraid of his pressure. From this perspective, it was reasonable for Zhou Yun to achieve such a result.

　　"Commander, do you really think he can get the final reward? There are three ferocious wolves guarding there, how can that kid get through?" After hearing the words of the black-armored general, the adjutant next to him immediately exclaimed in surprise.

　　"That damn ferocious wolf is only equivalent to a slightly higher level of leather training. Just wait and see. Zhou Yun has a very mature character. He is in no hurry to move forward. Instead, he moves forward slowly and steadily. Maybe he can really give us a surprise." His eyes narrowed again. After saying a word, the black-armored general once again entered a state of rest with a calm demeanor, leaving only the adjutant alone to ponder beside him.

　　At this time, the remaining candidates on the training ground who had not yet taken the test were getting impatient waiting. Zhou Yun had taken too long. While complaining, these candidates could not help but wonder where Zhou Yun was now.

　　In the cave, Zhou Yun was currently staying a little before the 100-meter line, concentrating on the movements ahead.

　　When approaching a hundred meters, the cave had become very narrow again, and it was dark all around. Zhou Yun couldn't see the situation beyond the hundred-meter line clearly, but he had a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

　　This sense of crisis was something he developed naturally after long-term communication and practice with lightning. You know, some wild beasts in the natural environment are much more sensitive to danger than humans.

　　Zhou Yun has already reached a very deep level in practicing Tiger Fist, and coupled with his frequent interactions with Lightning, he now has some of this ability. Although there are still many horrible corpses around at this moment, Zhou Yun has already captured some different auras from them.

　　Ahead, there is real, living energy and blood power, and it is very fierce and vigorous.

　　"Is there a living creature in front?" For a moment, Zhou Yun felt a little confused.

　　Taking a helmet from a corpse nearby, Zhou Yun quietly approached and threw it into the passage. He then concentrated on observing the movement of the helmet and at the same time calmly sensed all the movements around him.

　　“Woo…”

　　As soon as the helmet came out, Zhou Yun immediately felt clearly that the blood and qi power that he had vaguely captured in the space outside the passage had slightly fluctuated. Under this aggressive blood and qi fluctuation, Zhou Yun even heard a hint of the beast's suppressed whimper.

　　"There really is a living creature!" This time, Zhou Yun was completely sure of his judgment.

　　Chapter 12: Fighting the Wolf

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun had heard the voice clearly. It was the low whimpering sound of a canine beast. The voice was thin, like an ordinary big dog, but the blood and energy power it stirred was much stronger than that of an ordinary big dog, and there was also a ferocious murderous intent.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had already determined that the thing inside was most likely a ferocious wolf. Moreover, it was a ferocious wolf with a certain level of cultivation. Such a ferocious wolf might have almost left the category of wild beasts and become a ferocious beast.

　　With a ferocious wolf guarding, it might not be easy to get excellent results. Zhou Yun has already experienced the three qi and blood forces just now. Compared with himself, these three qi and blood forces are still slightly weaker. If he rushes forward, stabilizes his position and then retreats quickly, there should be no danger.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun took a deep breath and prepared himself.

　　"Charge!" With a low shout, Zhou Yun's already tense body suddenly bounced out, headed straight for the exit, and instantly crossed the 100-meter mark.

　　"Ah!" Almost at the same time Zhou Yun made a move, the three streams of qi and blood inside rushed over at the same time.

　　Instead of retreating in a hurry, Zhou Yun thrust his body forward heavily and slashed horizontally with the saber in his hand, trying to block the attack from the front.

　　Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

　　The angry roar came from far away and soon reached Zhou Yun.

　　Although it was very close, the expected attack did not come immediately, but stopped three meters in front of him.

　　"What's going on?" After walking out of the passage and passing the 100-meter line, Zhou Yun could see the situation clearly. This was a circular area with an area of ​​about 30 square meters. It was filled with all kinds of terrifying corpses. Although they were all dead, the pressure on these corpses was very strong. Many of the corpses were already at the level of tendon training.

　　The three powerful energies that Zhou Yun felt were indeed brought by the three ferocious wolves. However, unlike what Zhou Yun expected, the three ferocious wolves were not free, but were tied up. There were black iron rings around their necks, and the chains were connected to a platform at the far end. The length of the chains was more than 40 meters, which was just unable to reach his position.

　　"Why is this? Are the three ferocious wolves placed here just to scare people?" Although they were tied up, the three ferocious wolves were very ferocious. Even though they couldn't reach Zhou Yun, they were still trying to pounce forward, as if they wanted to tear Zhou Yun into pieces.

　　He didn't understand why the person in charge of the assessment wanted to tie up three ferocious wolves here to scare people, but the current situation was obviously not suitable for thinking too much, and Zhou Yun was already prepared to return the same way.

　　"Hmm? No! There seems to be something on the platform in the distance." Zhou Yun stopped immediately after turning around. When he looked back, Zhou Yun silently glanced at the stone platform in the distance where three ferocious wolves were tied. There seemed to be something on the stone platform.

　　Although it was just a flash, Zhou Yun was already very sure that it seemed to be an exquisite little box.

　　"Is there a final reward for this assessment placed in the innermost place?" Zhou Yun turned around with a hint of doubt.

　　Turning around, Zhou Yun was shocked to find that the three ferocious wolves that had been roaring behind him had actually hidden away and were nowhere to be seen.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun was even more certain that there was something on the stone platform in the distance. These ferocious wolves were about to enter the level of ferocious beasts. Their intelligence had just begun to develop and they were already very cunning. Their perception abilities had also been initially formed. Zhou Yun was sure that they had already sensed that he was going to turn around and go back.

　　"What on earth is this? They actually set up such a checkpoint to test the people who take the test." Standing there quietly, Zhou Yun's heart had completely calmed down. The feeling in his heart told Zhou Yun that this was an opportunity, and there must be something in it that was very important to him.

　　Zhou Yun's cultivation has now stagnated a bit, not because he hasn't worked hard enough, but because he lacks the training methods to continue to improve. Although the tiger fist is fierce and has certain practical capabilities, it is indeed not enough to push Zhou Yun's cultivation to the bone training level.

　　It can be said that what Zhou Yun lacks most now is the bone-training technique. If the reward happens to be a technique book, or a treasure that can be exchanged for a high-level technique, then Zhou Yun must get that thing.

　　Now Zhou Yun can be sure that the things inside are used to test them, the candidates, because the three ferocious wolves guarding the stone platform are all at the middle stage of skin training. Judging from the results of the annual martial arts examination, the best candidates can reach the peak of skin training in terms of cultivation level. If they fight hard, they can kill these three ferocious wolves.

　　However, there are risks involved.

　　There are so many horrible corpses around that there is almost no place to step, and those ferocious wolves can hide themselves very well. Once the battle begins, Zhou Yun will definitely be in a disadvantageous situation.

　　Looking at the box on the stone platform from afar, Zhou Yun recalled Jun Yao's face and his current situation. He made a silent decision in his heart that he must get this box.

　　His body and mind had completely calmed down. Zhou Yun had fallen into an ethereal state. His attention was completely focused on the surrounding environment, and he was ready for battle.

　　Click!

　　Zhou Yun began to move forward gently, stepped over a piece of broken armor, and began to approach the stone platform.

　　Zhou Yun took every step very carefully. The ferocious wolves were completely hidden in the dark. Zhou Yun knew that with the wolves' cunning and ferociousness, they would definitely hide in a secret place, waiting for the opportunity to give him a fatal blow.

　　Just now when he was on the outskirts, Zhou Yun had already found a relatively flat road with his naked eyes. If he walked on this road, Zhou Yun could minimize the interference of the terrain on him.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun had advanced to a position only ten meters away from the stone platform. The things on the stone platform were clearly visible. It was indeed a box-shaped object, quietly placed in the center of the stone platform. No one knew what was inside.

　　Up to now, the three ferocious wolves have not appeared, and Zhou Yun naturally knows why. Now his cultivation is at the peak of the Leather Training Stage, and he is going to surpass the three ferocious wolves. Judging from the cunning nature of wolves, these beasts will not rashly come out to attack him if there is no absolute opportunity.

　　Zhou Yun is now moving carefully, his breath and steps are all coordinated, leaving no chance for anyone to take advantage of him.

　　Holding his breath and concentrating, Zhou Yun continued to move forward. The closer he got to the stone platform, the greater the pressure became. Zhou Yun instinctively felt that even if he didn't reveal any flaws, those ferocious wolves would probably attack. By then, it would probably be a tough battle of one against three.

　　The most important thing is that the initiative is still in the hands of the three ferocious wolves. Zhou Yun cannot judge when they will attack. In this case, it is better to...

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately shifted his foot slightly.

　　Click!

　　Following the sound of iron sheet bending, Zhou Yun's feet finally slipped slightly.

　　Oh!

　　Sure enough, Zhou Yun's figure slightly deviated, and a roar immediately came from behind Zhou Yun.

　　"I've been waiting for you!" With a cruel smile on his face, Zhou Yun didn't even stand up. He bent his body and used his left hand to support the ground. A force was transmitted to his lumbar spine, and Zhou Yun's right leg began to swing violently.

　　"The tiger swings its tail!" This move is the most difficult blow in the tiger fist, the tiger swings its tail!

　　Zhou Yun had suffered such a loss countless times in his battles with Lightning. He wanted to attack from behind, but was knocked to the ground by Lightning's tail.

　　Zhou Yun also wanted to learn this move, but he was a human after all, and it was impossible for him to have a tail as hard as a steel whip like Lightning. However, through observing Lightning's power generation method for a long time, Zhou Yun also found a way to use his legs instead of his tail, and only then did he fully refine this move.

　　bump!

　　Zhou Yun's move was unexpected, and he attacked directly from the start. The force of his leg was so terrifying that it hit the belly of the ferocious wolf behind him with almost a sound of breaking through the air.

　　puff!

　　This kick directly smashed the wolf's internal organs into pieces, and it was already dead in mid-air.

　　The tiger's tail swing is a powerful move in itself. When Zhou Yun uses his legs as a tail, the power is transmitted from the muscles of his arms, shoulders, and back to his waist and hips, and finally superimposed on his legs and feet. This power has already reached Zhou Yun's limit!

　　Although Zhou Yun killed a ferocious wolf with this move, his back was also scratched by the wolf and blood immediately flowed out.

　　Ouch! Ouch!

　　At this time, the other two ferocious wolves also pounced over.

　　Stimulated by the wound on his back, Zhou Yun also became fierce, and with his steel teeth gnashing, he rushed towards one of the fierce wolves, slashing it with the saber in his hand, with the force of a mountain pressing down on its head.

　　Zhou Yun's move was extremely ruthless. He completely ignored the attack of the other ferocious wolf. He just wanted to kill one first!

　　Flying in the air, the ferocious wolf lost the possibility of changing its moves and was directly cut into two halves by Zhou Yun's resolute sword!

　　Suddenly, blood flowed everywhere, and the hot blood splashed directly on Zhou Yun's face.

　　"Come on! Let me see how powerful you are!" After another fight, Zhou Yun's left arm was cut by the last ferocious wolf, leaving a deep wound that could be seen to the bone.

　　Although his cultivation level was higher than those three ferocious wolves, Zhou Yun was the one being besieged after all, and the environment was unfavorable. In addition, his own martial arts skills were ordinary, so it was difficult for him to take advantage of his cultivation level. That's when he thought of defeating the enemy with force, killing two ferocious wolves first, and then dealing with the remaining one.

　　Obviously, Zhou Yun's choice was right. He had two wounds on his body, but he also killed two ferocious wolves. Now, he only needs to focus on dealing with the remaining one.

　　Woo… Woo…

　　In an instant, the ferocious wolf seemed to be frightened by Zhou Yun's momentum and began to retreat slowly.

　　"Haha, you beast, are you afraid too?"

　　This fierce battle, especially taking place in such a terrifying environment, has quietly made Zhou Yun's character grow a lot. The desire to fight has grown stronger in Zhou Yun's heart.

　　At this moment, in terms of momentum, Zhou Yun had completely overwhelmed the ferocious wolf.

　　After retreating several meters, the ferocious wolf finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and suddenly pounced towards Zhou Yunfei, showing its fangs and biting directly at Zhou Yun's neck.

　　With a flash of cold light in his eyes, Zhou Yun quickly lay down and raised the saber in his hand vigorously. With a scream of "Woo-ah", the ferocious wolf was broken into two pieces when it landed on the ground.

　　"It's finally over." Lying among the pile of corpses, Zhou Yun felt calm in his heart. After this battle, Zhou Yun felt that he had been sublimated.

　　After a short rest, Zhou Yun supported his body with his hands and tried to sit up. Suddenly, he felt a cold sensation and he vaguely realized that he seemed to have touched something on the body under him.

　　----------------------------------

　　It will explode at 12 o'clock and hit the new book list. Please save your flowers and support it. Thank you all!

　　Chapter 13: Strange Little Piece

　　"What is this?" Zhou Yun felt a slight cool sensation and immediately sensed a slightly different taste. Sitting up, he picked up the thing in his hand.

　　It was a piece of something similar to an iron plate for armor, in a perfect round shape with some strange patterns printed on it. When you squeezed it hard, it felt soft, but the iron plate itself did not move at all.

　　Zhou Yun had never seen such strange patterns before, and the cold yet solid feeling did not seem like any kind of metal that Zhou Yun had ever remembered.

　　Since he had long wanted to gain merit and be awarded a title, Zhou Yun not only delved deeply into the art of war, but also had some knowledge of some weapons and armor in the world, including the principles and materials of war equipment.

　　As far as armor is concerned, the best armor of the Tianyuan Dynasty in the Middle-earth is the legendary Nebula Armor. According to legend, it was made by some ancient powerful men who used brute force to blow down stars and used the broken stars to refine them. However, the Nebula Armor is recorded in books as being black, while this small piece is ink-colored, and the material does not look like steel at all.

　　As for the Demon Cloud Armor, Black Crystal Armor, etc. used by some foreign countries, it seems that this is not the case.

　　For a moment, Zhou Yun felt a strange feeling in his heart. This little piece seemed to be very unusual.

　　Zhou Yun quickly put the small piece around his waist, and then secretly searched around for a while. When he didn't find any similar thing, Zhou Yun quickly stood up.

　　Walking to the stone platform, Zhou Yun picked up the box placed on the center of the platform.

　　"Haha, this Zhou Yun is really not simple." Zhou Yun had already killed three ferocious wolves and got the final reward. On the main platform outside, the black-armored general who had been sitting quietly opened his eyes and smiled.

　　"Yes, he doesn't have any powerful martial arts, but his character is rare and tough, and he is also very flexible and smart. He was determined to kill the two ferocious wolves even if he got injured. Moreover, this guy was able to practice the tiger fist to such a level, which is really unique." Beside the black-armored general, the adjutant with a horrible scar on his face nodded repeatedly.

　　"Well, if he is trained in the army for a few years, he will probably become a powerful general. We should make friends with him, as we may need him in the future." There are certain factions in the army of the Tianyuan Dynasty, and the black-armored generals are well aware of them. Seeing Zhou Yun's current performance, the black-armored generals have already judged that if Zhou Yun is allowed to grow like this, his future achievements will probably be far higher than his.

　　"Well, after entering General Shenwei's Shenwei Training Camp and training for half a year, I'm afraid he can directly become a commander." Agreeing with the black-armored general's words, the scarred adjutant also nodded.

　　"General Shenwei's training camp? Haha, it's probably too early to talk about it now. Let's talk about it after the ring battle in the afternoon." At this time, Zhou Yun had already walked out of the passage. The black-armored general silently looked at Zhou Yun's back below, smiled, and got up and left.

　　Zhou Yun, who walked out of the passage, had already appeared in front of all the candidates. Seeing Zhou Yun covered in blood and with a solemn look on his face, all the candidates who had not yet taken the test could not help but step back a few steps. The candidates who originally wanted to complain after Zhou Yun came out also consciously shut their mouths.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun actually also had the murderous intent of a soldier on the battlefield.

　　Glancing at Zhou Yun, the centurion in charge of the assessment also showed a hint of envy on his face, and then announced loudly, "Examinee Zhou Yun, the assessment score is 150 meters, and he received a special reward box set by General Shenwei. The assessment score is perfect!"

　　boom!

　　As soon as the centurion's words came out, the whole examination room was instantly boiling.

　　The mighty general Li Jing was a legendary figure in the Tianyuan Dynasty. As the younger brother of Li Tian, ​​the founding emperor of the Tianyuan Dynasty, Li Jing made indelible contributions in the founding war of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　After the founding of the Tianyuan Dynasty, he fought many battles in the south and north, and made countless achievements. He is currently in charge of the most elite 100,000 imperial guards of the Tianyuan Dynasty, guarding the capital. He is a figure who can cover the sky with one hand in the military of the Tianyuan Dynasty. He was named a first-class prince and a great general who protects the country. He is truly second to none and is specially granted the right to ride a horse with a sword in the golden palace. He is extremely noble.

　　According to legend, Li Jing had already broken through to the Martial Saint realm thirty years ago, and his level of cultivation is now unpredictable.

　　"Zhou Yun! Zhou Yun! Zhou Yun!" At this time, the cheers of all the audience in the examination room turned into a uniform name. The strong sound made the earth feel like it was shaking. Zhou Yun's results in this martial arts examination had made all the civilians vent their anger.

　　From today onwards, I'm afraid no one will ever say that nobles will always be nobles and commoners will always be commoners.

　　Amidst the thunderous cheers, Zhou Yun clearly felt several greedy eyes falling on the treasure box in his hands.

　　What exactly is the treasure gifted by General Shenwei? This is probably what everyone present is thinking. When this treasure box falls on Zhou Yun, I wonder how many greedy eyes it will attract.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun couldn't help but tighten the treasure box in his hand and looked into the distance.

　　In the distance, Wang Yang and other noble children were looking at him with hostility. Without giving in, Zhou Yun also looked back calmly.

　　"Next group, continue the assessment." At this time, the centurion in charge of the assessment had already made the next voice. Zhou Yun also quickly put away his treasure box and left the examination room.

　　All the tests in the morning had been completed. Zhou Yun followed the road directly to the rest area, where many candidates who had completed the tests were already waiting.

　　"Zhou Yun, you have completed the morning assessment. Your current score ranks first among all candidates. Please decide whether you want to participate in the afternoon's martial arts arena assessment." There was a desk before entering the rest area. Several soldiers were recording something. When they saw Zhou Yun coming over, one of the sergeants asked.

　　"I'll participate." Zhou Yun nodded and spoke resolutely.

　　"Okay, the ring battle will start in the afternoon. There are still two hours left. You should recover as soon as possible and prepare for the assessment." Nodding, the sergeant put a check mark behind Zhou Yun's name.

　　"Thank you." After saying thank you politely, Zhou Yun entered the rest area.

　　As soon as he walked in, several civilian disciples immediately surrounded Zhou Yun.

　　"Zhou Yun, you are so awesome. You are indeed the best master of our Menghu Martial Arts Hall. You don't know that this time you have really humiliated those people from Maple Forest Academy. It feels so good!" Surrounding Zhou Yun, several civilian children spoke excitedly.

　　"Yeah, this time our Tiger Martial Arts Hall is really proud of it, but you have to be careful in the ring fight this afternoon. I'm afraid those bastards from Maple Forest College have bad intentions." The two people who were speaking were Zhou Yun's classmates in Tiger Martial Arts Hall, and they were also friends with him.

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun said, "Don't worry, I will know my limits. Xie Xiaofeng, Chen Nan, you two should also be careful."

　　These two students are both in the initial stage of skin training, and they will probably have to take part in the martial arts examination in the afternoon. Zhou Yun smiled slightly and gave them some advice.

　　"By the way, Zhou Yun, after this assessment, we will have a three-month break and then gather in the preparatory camp. Chen Nan, I, and a few other classmates plan to go to Yandang Mountain for some training. If possible, we will try to hunt some ferocious beasts. Will you go with us?" After the three of them said some encouraging words to each other, Xie Xiaofeng seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Zhou Yun.

　　"Hunting ferocious beasts? It's not that easy. The lowest level of cultivation of ferocious beasts is the skin training realm, and some powerful ferocious beasts are born to reach the tendon training level, and they have many powerful means. Wouldn't it be courting death to go now?" Zhou Yun was obviously stunned when Xie Xiaofeng finished speaking.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's reaction, Xie Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Of course we won't form a team alone. Chen Nan's uncle works in Beiwu Hall and can introduce us to a strong team of warriors. We just need to follow them. There are high-level adventurous warriors in the team. We just follow them to learn some combat experience. It won't be too dangerous."

　　"So that's how it is." After listening to Xie Xiaofeng's explanation, Zhou Yun nodded silently. In the Tianyuan Dynasty, the only way to practice is to join the army. You can also join some martial arts sects. Although when the Tianyuan Dynasty was founded, all the large martial arts sects in the country were banned, such as Tianlong Temple, Liangyi Shenzong, Huayangmen, etc.

　　However, these sects have existed for thousands of years, and it is very difficult to eradicate them. After being suppressed by the imperial court, these sects have all gone underground, quietly recruiting disciples and teaching martial arts.

　　Not all warriors in the Tianyuan Dynasty wanted to join the army. Those who did not want to join the army would generally choose to be adventure warriors for a certain business, or become the worshippers of some nobles. Beiwutang was an organization of a business nature, which housed various warriors, allowing them to explore various dangerous places, hunt beasts, obtain natural treasures, and resell them for profit. It was also very powerful.

　　"Okay, if I have time then, I will definitely go with you." Nodding, Zhou Yun agreed.

　　Now, for him, improving his cultivation is important, but making money is equally important. Although the military salary standards of the Tianyuan Dynasty are good, if he wants to quickly gather the morale of the army and gather combat effectiveness, he still needs strong financial resources.

　　Zhou Yun now has to make plans in this regard. At least he doesn't even have a decent weapon now. If he has enough money, weapons, even secret techniques, medicinal herbs and treasures can all be purchased.

　　"Great, we'll let you know when we set out." Seeing Zhou Yun agree, the civilian children cheered. In their opinion, with a person of Zhou Yun's high cultivation level willing to go with them, the safety factor would definitely be improved by several levels. Moreover, with Zhou Yun, they might also be able to hunt some first-level beasts equivalent to the Leather Refining Realm on their own.

　　"Well, okay, I'll go and rest for a while, and you guys should prepare well." Zhou Yun waved goodbye to the people in front of him and quickly walked into a small room in the rest area, which was provided for the candidates to take a temporary rest.

　　Zhou Yun was seriously injured in the passage, and now he needed a place to treat his injuries and prepare for the afternoon assessment. At the same time, he also wanted to see what was in the treasure box of the mighty general. And that strange little piece.

　　————————

　　I'm going to the top of the list! Please support me!

　　Chapter 14 Miracles

　　After entering the room, Zhou Yun locked the door, closed the window, and locked himself in the room.

　　After making sure that no one was peeping around, Zhou Yun carefully sat on the bed. Since this was a room prepared for the martial arts examination, some healing medicines were prepared in each room.

　　Zhou Yun took the small medicine bottle from the bedside and gently poured some onto his wound, then closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

　　Although he was also anxious to see the things in the treasure box and the small piece, compared to these, the afternoon assessment was more important. Zhou Yun had to adjust his state as soon as possible.

　　Zhou Yun sat in meditation silently, regulating his blood and body according to the most common small circulation of the Tianyuan Dynasty. After about an hour, he finally opened his eyes after completing ten small circulations.

　　A lot of the medicinal power from the blood-clotting pill that Lin Juntian gave him was still filling Zhou Yun's body, which also accelerated Zhou Yun's recovery.

　　After an hour of recuperation, Zhou Yun's body has recovered a lot. Although the wounds on his back and left arm still hurt a little, these injuries can no longer affect Zhou Yun's condition.

　　After adjusting his condition, Zhou Yun took out the treasure box he got from the assessment channel.

　　Zhou Yun was also very familiar with the title of General Shenwei. After all, he was the founding father of the Tianyuan Dynasty and a figure admired by everyone.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun was also a little curious about what was in the treasure box.

　　Carefully opening the treasure box and seeing what was inside, Chu Tian's eyes immediately burst into a burst of surprise.

　　"Could it be the Space Ring!?"

　　It was a very ordinary-looking ring, but Zhou Yun knew that the things bestowed by the mighty general would definitely not be so ordinary.

　　Chu Tian carefully took out the ring and put it on his hand. A mental connection was immediately established between him and the ring.

　　"It's really a space ring!" Feeling this trace of mind connection, Zhou Yun's heart was immediately filled with ecstasy. Zhou Yun had seen the record of the space ring in some miscellaneous notes. This thing was made by powerful Taoist masters, the quantity was extremely small, and the price was extremely high.

　　This space ring only has a space of about two meters, which is considered the smallest one. However, even such a small space ring probably has a market price of one hundred thousand taels of gold, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it!

　　Born in a servant's house, Zhou Yun had no idea about money. In his opinion, ten taels of silver was already a huge sum of money. Normally, he and Zhou Xue only received two taels of silver a month in the Qin family. Now that one hundred thousand taels of gold were placed in front of him, Zhou Yun even felt like it was an illusion.

　　After taking a few hard breaths and suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhou Yun calmed himself down and began to check the things in the ring.

　　Even if the ring is worth one hundred thousand taels of gold, Zhou Yun would not sell it. First of all, it was given by General Shenwei. Once it was sold, it would probably cause endless troubles. Secondly, Zhou Yun also knew that a space ring was probably far more important to him than one hundred thousand taels of gold.

　　Whether it is future adventure training or survival on the battlefield, this space ring can be of great help to him.

　　In some dangerous places, how much fresh water, medicine, food and other necessary tools a warrior can carry directly determines his survival ability. Therefore, this space ring that can carry things without any weight pressure is called a treasure.

　　After the previous connection of thoughts, Zhou Yun could already control the space ring freely. With the thought of opening it in his mind, Zhou Yun immediately saw the things in the space ring.

　　In the space of the ring, a thin booklet lay there quietly.

　　"Secret book!" Zhou Yun's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the booklet. He waved his right arm and the booklet appeared in Zhou Yun's hand.

　　"The Thunder Fist of All Things, the third level." Looking at the line of vigorous and powerful characters on the secret book, Zhou Yun's heart was immediately shaken.

　　Zhou Yun had naturally heard of the name of the Myriad Things Benlei Fist. This was the unique martial art created by Li Jing, the mighty general of the Tianyuan Dynasty. According to legend, the Myriad Things Benlei Fist was divided into five levels, from the initial skin training, to bone training, tendon training, organ training and blood transfusion, to Yijing marrow cleansing. They were all the most perfect exercises and the supreme martial arts that countless martial artists desired.

　　However, this secret book felt useless in Zhou Yun's hands.

　　"Why is it the third level?" Looking at the skills in his hand, Zhou Yun looked helpless.

　　The third level of the Myriad Things Thunder Fist is directly suitable for martial artists who have reached the tendon training level. If one wants to start practicing, one must at least train to the bone peak. However, Zhou Yun is currently only at the skin peak and does not even have the skills to train bones.

　　If it was the second level of the All-Seeing Thunder Fist, Zhou Yun would probably treat it as a treasure, but this third level is somewhat useless.

　　"Thunder Tribulation Finger, Nine Steps of Thunder Cloud, Wild Thunder Strike." Looking at the powerful moves in the secret book, Zhou Yun's face turned a little ugly. Zhou Yun had no way to practice these advanced moves now. Without the basics, forcing himself to use these powerful moves would only hurt himself.

　　"Is this mighty general deliberately trying to make trouble for me?" Holding the dense gun in his hand, Zhou Yun couldn't help but scratch his hair fiercely.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun didn’t know that in the eyes of General Shenwei, those who could get the final reward in the martial arts examination were at least those who were in the middle or even the peak of bone training.

　　Not to mention the terrifying pressure, facing three ferocious wolves in such a harsh environment, General Shenwei never thought that any candidate in the skin training stage could obtain this secret book.

　　Therefore, what is a suitable reward for normal candidates to get this award becomes a waste for Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun looked at the space ring angrily, and after confirming that there was only this secret book in it, he put it back with some disappointment. In any case, this secret book is still very precious. Even if he can't practice it now, once he gets the secret book of the bone training stage and passes the bone training stage, the third level of the Myriad Thunder Fist will immediately become the most powerful guarantee for Zhou Yun's strength growth.

　　After putting away the secret book of the Myriad Things Benlei Fist, Zhou Yun took out the strange little piece.

　　The light in the passage was extremely dim just now, and Zhou Yun couldn't see clearly what the small piece was. Taking advantage of the free time now, Zhou Yun could take a good look at it.

　　Taking out the small piece, Zhou Yun began to examine it carefully under the light in the room.

　　"It seems that it is really a piece of armor from a battle armor." At the first glance, Zhou Yun saw that there were regular small holes in the four directions of the up, down, left and right of the small round piece. This is very similar to the thread holes used to connect armor pieces on some battle armors. It is probably also used for series reinforcement.

　　Although he guessed that this was a piece of armor, Zhou Yun still couldn't determine what kind of armor it was. This material was not like any armor Zhou Yun had ever heard of. It was ink-like in color, with some faint patterns on it, which seemed to be part of a certain pattern, or as if it formed a circle in itself.

　　Looking at the armor, Zhou Yun couldn't help but be gradually attracted to it.

　　Unconsciously, the scene around Zhou Yun had changed, and his consciousness had entered another space.

　　In this space, Zhou Yun could no longer see his own body. All he could see was the vast expanse of black land, as if the whole world was one. In such an environment, it seemed as if he had plunged into the realm of the beginning of the world. Zhou Yun's senses had become extremely sharp, as if he had merged with the black world in front of him, and he could even clearly hear the sound of the earth's breathing!

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun was stunned by the scene in front of him. The sky and earth were all black for tens of thousands of miles, with no boundaries at all, and Zhou Yun himself seemed to have merged into this world. He could clearly feel the heartbeat of this integrated world, and his whole body was immersed in a strange state.

　　In the room, Zhou Yun's eyes had unconsciously closed, and his expression became serene and majestic, as if he had touched the origin of heaven and earth. Although he was just sitting there quietly, he seemed to be in harmony with the way of heaven. If someone saw Zhou Yun at this time and wanted to attack him, they would be surprised to find that Zhou Yun, who was just sitting there, seemed to have no flaws on his body, and had reached the perfect state of fusion of heaven and earth.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun's breathing also became extremely long, even to the point of being incomprehensible! One breath, one heartbeat, had already merged into the heartbeat of the earth in the ink-colored world.

　　There is a gap of a stick of incense between one heartbeat and one breath!

　　While sitting in meditation, Zhou Yun's wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye! The whole room was centered around Zhou Yun, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to gather towards Zhou Yun. Entering Zhou Yun's body through every pore, Zhou Yun's skin and flesh were faintly beating during this process, and he had unknowingly crossed the realm of skin training and entered the level of bone training!

　　During his conscious time, Zhou Yun could no longer feel his own existence, and had completely merged with the inky and majestic world!

　　Bang bang bang.

　　Suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door, and Zhou Yun was immediately awakened. As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhou Yun immediately felt a little dizzy, as if the world in front of him suddenly became much clearer. The tables and chairs in the room, the windows, the floor, and even the dust floating in the air were all seen clearly by Zhou Yun.

　　"Zhou Yun! Zhou Yun! The arena assessment is about to begin, what are you doing!?" Before Zhou Yun had time to feel the sudden change, he had already heard Li Yi's voice outside.

　　Without thinking too much, Zhou Yun immediately got out of bed and opened the door.

　　Outside the door, Li Yi was standing there, looking anxious, "Zhou Yun, the arena test is about to begin, why are you still here?"

　　"What? Is it about to start?" Zhou Yun asked curiously with a confused look on his face. He had just used the Small Circulation to repair his body, and there was clearly still an hour before the assessment began. How come it had passed so quickly?

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's confused look, Li Yi also showed a worried look on his face, "Zhou Yun, what happened to you? Are you seriously injured? Otherwise, don't participate in the ring match this afternoon."

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had also seen the situation behind Li Yi. The courtyard where many candidates had originally gathered was now empty.

　　"How is that possible? You go first, I'll be there soon." Zhou Yun spoke quickly, suppressing the fear in his heart.

　　"Then please come here quickly. It's really strange. You look better than in the morning, but you seem to have become stupid. Please come here quickly." After leaving these words, Li Yi shook his head in confusion and turned to leave.

　　After watching Li Yi leave, Zhou Yun hurried back to the room, took out the small piece and held it in his palm.

　　"What the hell is this thing?" Zhou Yun was shocked as he looked at the thing in his hand. He was studying the patterns on this small piece just now, but his consciousness was sucked into that vast world unknowingly. Moreover, it felt like an hour had passed in just a moment!

　　The most terrifying thing is that when Zhou Yun felt his own strength, he found that he had actually broken through the skin training stage and reached the bone training stage!

　　Without any secret book, Zhou Yun's withdrawal of consciousness actually led to a breakthrough!

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun realized that this piece of accidentally obtained was definitely not a simple thing! This unknown piece of small piece was even more precious than the space ring and the Wanxiang Benlei Fist in the treasure box of the Great General Shenwei!

　　Forcing down the shock in his heart, Zhou Yun kept the small piece close to his body, walked out of the room quickly, and ran towards the training ground.

　　Chapter 15 The Battle Begins

　　On the parade ground, all candidates who had passed the morning test had already stood in the central area. On the main stage, a large incense stick was burning quietly, almost to the bottom. The original test props for archery, obstacle course, strength, etc. on the parade ground had been removed and replaced with five neatly arranged arenas.

　　The moment the incense burns out, the afternoon assessment officially begins.

　　With his mind in a mess, Zhou Yun finally arrived at the training ground before the big incense burned out. At this moment, the incense on the main platform just went out. If Li Yi hadn't run to remind him, Zhou Yun would have missed the afternoon assessment.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun felt a little scared, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little more awe towards the small piece in his arms.

　　Zhou Yun had already arrived, the lit incense sticks had just burned out, and the black-armored general in charge of supervising the assessment had finally appeared on the main stage.

　　Silently scanning the more than one hundred candidates still remaining in the audience, the black-armored general slowly spoke, "I am glad to see that you have passed this morning's assessment. By this time, if nothing unexpected happens, you are already glorious soldiers of my Tianyuan Dynasty. After three months, you can follow the instructions of the Ministry of War to register at your own military camp."

　　"The afternoon assessment is to determine the top ten in this Heyang City Martial Arts Examination, which means ten places for the Martial Arts Examination candidates. The Martial Arts Examination candidates need to be paired up according to the rankings in the morning for a one-on-one battle. Injuries and even death during the battle are allowed. Now I need each of you to consider carefully whether you want to participate in the final arena battle. If anyone does not want to participate, you can leave the team now and go to the examiner to get the pass certificate, and then wait for the report after March."

　　In every martial arts competition, some candidates will be seriously injured or disabled. Although it is rare to hear of someone being killed in the examination room, death is recognized after all, which represents a huge risk.

　　If you don't have the absolute strength to compete for the top ten, it's better not to participate in the competition. This is the consensus reached by all candidates.

　　After hearing the black-armored general's words, the more than one hundred candidates who had gathered in the examination room looked at each other.

　　Finally, the first civilian candidate left the team. With this beginning, other candidates also began to leave one after another. After a while, the team that originally had more than a hundred people was reduced to only fifty people.

　　"Is anyone else ready to withdraw?" Looking at the team that had lost half its number, the black-armored general spoke majestically again.

　　In the team, Zhou Yun stood there calmly. At this time, the matter of the mysterious piece had been put aside by Zhou Yun. Now he had begun to prepare for this assessment wholeheartedly.

　　Half of the people had already left. After the black-armored general asked, no one in the group left moved. It was obvious that these people were ready to stay and participate in the final martial arts examination. And these people were the real elites of this Heyang City martial arts examination.

　　Satisfied at the people who stayed, the black-armored general nodded and said, "Okay, more people stayed than expected. Now I declare that the first place in this martial arts examination will be selected into the Shenwei training camp hosted by General Shenwei."

　　Wow!!

　　As soon as the black-armored general said this, the entire examination room suddenly became boiling.

　　"General Shenwei's training camp is the military reserve camp of our Tianyuan Dynasty. It is said that those who graduate from there will directly start as centurions after entering the army, and all of them will be promoted first!"

　　"Being able to enter the Shenwei training camp is really a big step forward!"

　　"The most important thing is that you can meet a lot of important people there. Many descendants of princes and nobles are sent to the Shenwei training camp!"

　　In the stands, some civilians who knew a little more immediately started discussing.

　　Those who stayed in the examination room all had flushed faces, as if they had already secured the places in the Shenwei training camp, while those who withdrew from the arena assessment stamped their feet and beat their chests.

　　In their opinion, even if they have to fight to the death, they must strive for the opportunity to enter the Shenwei training camp. If they knew in advance that this year's assessment would have such a final reward, they would rather die than quit.

　　Looking at the reactions below, the black-armored warrior showed a satisfied smile on his face, and said, "Alright, each candidate will receive their ranking according to the number called, and prepare to start the arena assessment!"

　　After leaving a few words, the black-armored warrior sat down in his seat with his horse and sword in hand. He said nothing more, and it seemed that he was ready to observe the arena assessment on the spot.

　　The centurion who was in charge of the specific assessment matters walked out quickly.

　　"Number one! Zhou Yun!"

　　The ranking announced by the centurion was based on the comprehensive results of the morning assessment. In the morning assessment, Zhou Yun had one perfect score, two excellent scores, and one qualified score, and he was undisputedly ranked first.

　　After hearing the name of the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun secretly clenched his fists. If he could get first place and enter the Shenwei Training Camp, it would be a great opportunity for him.

　　If he could accomplish this, he would be one step closer to Lin Junyao.

　　With a sigh of relief, Zhou Yun slowly stepped forward and took his number one wooden sign. At this moment, Zhou Yun had already made up his mind that he must win first place in this martial arts competition.

　　"Number two, Wang Yang!"

　　After Zhou Yun, the second seed Wang Yang also stepped forward to claim his number. When passing by, Zhou Yun clearly felt Wang Yang's hostile gaze. Without paying any attention to Wang Yang, Zhou Yun quietly walked back to his position and began to prepare.

　　Soon, all the numbers were distributed and a group of young men gathered together again.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun standing alone from a distance, a hint of resentment flashed in Wang Yang's eyes.

　　"Master Wang, Zhou Yun is so lucky that he can get the treasure box of General Shenwei. I just don't know what's inside." Looking at Zhou Yun, Xu Chong said indignantly. His ranking is thirteenth, the lowest among all the nobles. This is also because his obstacle test and mental perseverance test scores are too low, which drags down his overall score.

　　Xu Chong felt very embarrassed to be ranked so low, and Zhou Yun's high ranking was naturally regarded by him as luck.

　　"Didn't you see? There is an extra ring on Zhou Yun's right hand. He didn't bring it when he came for the assessment today." Looking at Zhou Yun from a distance, Chen Ling spoke with some jealousy.

　　Chen Ling's family deals in rare items, so naturally his horizons are broader than Xu Chong's.

　　"You mean, the reward in the treasure box is a space ring!?" Xu Chong exclaimed in surprise after hearing Chen Ling's words. As soon as the words 'space ring' came out, the faces of the noble children around him changed color, and even Wang Yang's eyes flashed a gleam of light.

　　Although they are all descendants of nobles, they do not have treasures such as space rings. Not to mention their families, even the Li family, the only big family in Heyang City, probably does not have such a thing.

　　You know, a space ring is not something you can buy with money. Such a rare item represents more of the noble status of the owner.

　　"This bastard is really lucky!" With undisguised greed flashing in his eyes, Xu Chong spoke with gritted teeth.

　　At this time, all the candidates' battle lists have been arranged. With a flash of resentment in his eyes, Wang Yang slowly said, "If this thing is really a space ring, he will definitely not be able to keep it. We will talk about this later. Now let's deal with the trouble in front of us. Those civilians are shouting too arrogantly. We have to teach them a lesson."

　　As if in response to Wang Yang's words, the voices cheering for Zhou Yun from the stands rose again, and even some other civilian children received a lot of cheers.

　　After hearing Wang Yang's words, all the noble children withdrew their gazes and nodded secretly.

　　"Site number one, first test, number one Zhou Yun versus number fifty Wang Shihang."

　　"Site number two, second test, number two Wang Yang versus number forty-nine Wei Yanggu."

　　"Site number three, third test, number three Lu Zheng versus number forty-eight Li Hui."

　　Under the main stage, the centurion in charge of the examination had already begun to announce the order of the examination according to the candidates' rankings. After hearing the number announcement, Zhou Yun stepped towards venue No. 1.

　　Zhou Yun handed the wooden sign to the sergeant in charge of the No. 1 venue and walked onto the ring. Soon after, Zhou Yun's opponent, Wang Shihang, also walked up. He was a young man about the same age as Zhou Yun, and he was also wearing the Tiger Martial Arts Hall's tight uniform.

　　Both of them have already stood on the stage, and the fight can begin at any time.

　　"Zhou Yun, please show mercy." Seeing Zhou Yun, Wang Shihang showed a calm smile on his face.

　　"Haha, try your best." The two were both third-year students at the Tiger Martial Arts Hall. Although they didn't communicate much due to their busy schedules, they were familiar with each other. Zhou Yun knew that Wang Shihang didn't have the ability to enter the top ten. He probably stayed to participate in the ring battle just to gain combat experience and to avoid any regrets.

　　"Then I won't be polite." Wang Shihang clasped his fists towards Zhou Yun, took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly became bright. This was also a sign that a warrior was concentrating his mind and preparing to attack with all his strength.

　　With his knees bent, Wang Shihang made a posture like a tiger about to pounce, and a burst of power suddenly emerged. The students of the Tiger Martial Arts Hall basically practiced Tiger Fist, because they had no money to buy more advanced intensive training, so Tiger Fist became the martial arts teaching material for everyone in the Tiger Martial Arts Hall.

　　As soon as he saw Wang Shihang's movements, Zhou Yun had already guessed how he would attack next. In terms of the level of tiger boxing practice, I'm afraid that all the candidates present could not compare to Zhou Yun. It can be said that Zhou Yun has practiced this set of boxing into his bones.

　　"Ha!" After accumulating strength, Wang Shihang stomped his feet hard on the ground and pounced towards Zhou Yunfei.

　　Facing Wang Shihang's full-strength attack, Zhou Yun not only did not retreat, but instead quickly rushed forward to meet it. Some people with high cultivation could even see that Zhou Yun started one step earlier than Wang Shihang, and his attack speed was even faster and more powerful!

　　bump!

　　As soon as he gathered his strength, Wang Shihang immediately felt a tightness in his chest. He didn't know when Zhou Yun had hit him in the chest with the same move as his, Tiger Out of the Cage.

　　Instead of using his fists, Zhou Yun simply pushed Wang Shihang on the chest with a burst of energy, immediately pushing him up into the air and directly falling under the ring.

　　“Cough cough cough!”

　　Zhou Yun's push was very clever, hitting the point where Wang Shihang was about to exert his full strength, making him very uncomfortable and almost unable to breathe. However, this push did not cause any harm to his body. He just needed to straighten out his breathing and he would be fine.

　　He won the first match with just a clever interception. Before Zhou Yun could cup his fists to Wang Shihang who was pushed off the ring by him, another figure had already fallen heavily beside Wang Shihang. That person was Wei Yanggu who was fighting against Wang Yang on ring No. 2.

　　Unlike Wang Shihang who only had a slightly disordered breath, Wei Yanggu's mouth was oozing with blood.

　　Wei Yanggu was also Zhou Yun's classmate in the Tiger Martial Arts Hall. Seeing Wei Yanggu's appearance, Zhou Yun immediately turned his gaze to the No. 2 ring opposite.

　　Chapter 16 Heavy Hands

　　On the ring, Wang Yang had a cold and arrogant look on his face, and on his hands there was still a trace of residual excitement from his full strength.

　　Looking at Wei Yanggu who was vomiting blood under the ring, a cold light flashed in Zhou Yun's eyes.

　　At this time, several civilian candidates who were taking the exam on the No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 stages also fell down one after another. Like Wei Yanggu, these candidates were basically vomiting blood and were seriously injured.

　　Seeing this situation, the civilians who were originally prepared to cheer for Zhou Yun immediately quieted down.

　　"Yang Gu, Li Hui, Wang Shuo, are you okay?" Seeing several classmates from the Tiger Martial Arts Hall falling down one after another, obviously seriously injured, Wang Shihang didn't care about the breath that was still pent up in his chest, and hurriedly ran up to ask.

　　Zhou Yun also jumped down quickly and helped Wei Yanggu and others sit up.

　　"Wang Yang! What's this? It's just an assessment. Why do you have to be so harsh?" Zhou Yun looked at Wang Yang coldly, suppressing the anger in his heart and questioned.

　　Glancing at Zhou Yun, Wang Yang said contemptuously, "Do I need you to tell me what to do? You should worry about yourself. If you know what's best for you, withdraw from the assessment immediately, otherwise you will end up like this."

　　Leaving behind a word, Wang Yang snorted coldly and left the ring proudly.

　　"Zhou Yun, these bastards are going too far!" Wei Yanggu had already fainted at this time. Looking at his good friend covered in blood, Wang Shihang spoke with indignation.

　　Looking at Wang Yang and others who had reunited, Zhou Yun's face showed a hint of coldness.

　　He had clearly felt that Wang Yang and others did this just to intimidate him.

　　"Shihang, go inform your classmates that if they meet Wang Yang and others later, they can just give up and avoid getting injured unnecessarily." At this time, the soldiers on the side had already carried the injured Wei Yanggu and others away. Zhou Yun looked at the noble children ranked six to ten in the distance and spoke slowly.

　　"What about you?" Although there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, Wang Shihang still nodded and turned to ask Zhou Yun.

　　"I am capable of handling them, don't worry. Since they dare to use such heavy hands, I have to teach them a lesson." Wei Yanggu and others had been carried to the edge of the stands by some soldiers. Looking at the scene of their family members gathered around their children and crying, Zhou Yun felt even colder in his heart.

　　Just now in the rest room, Zhou Yun had used the power of that small piece to break through to the bone training realm. Even though there was a certain gap in martial arts, Zhou Yun had enough confidence to defeat Wang Yang and others.

　　After all, the gap in rank is not so easy to make up. Moreover, although Zhou Yun has only practiced Tiger Fist, he is still very confident in his fighting ability.

　　"Be careful." Nodding to Zhou Yun, Wang Shihang left immediately and began to look for the civilian students who would fight against those noble children next.

　　Soon, the ring battle between No. 6 to No. 10 began. Under Wang Shihang's persuasion, all the civilians withdrew from the battle to avoid injury.

　　Seeing those civilian students full of anger, but barely restraining themselves under Wang Shihang's persuasion, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Wang Shihang.

　　If you want to develop rapidly in the future, it is necessary to establish your own power. Wang Shihang is a good choice, and those civilian students are also good basic forces.

　　Since making the three-year bet with Lin Juntian, Zhou Yun's thinking has become much more mature. Now he must improve his strength as quickly as possible. This strength includes not only his own martial arts, but also the quantity and quality of the supporters around him.

　　"This Zhou Yun is not simple. He knows how to build his own power so early. Not bad, not bad." Looking at the civilian candidates below who gave up the test one after another, the black-armored general on the main stage smiled.

　　"Haha, that's true, but he is under too much pressure. Is he so sure that he can defeat all these noble sons by himself? That's a round-robin battle." With a hearty laugh, the scarred adjutant beside the black-armored general said.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun quietly preparing in the audience, the black-armored general said silently, "A round-robin battle is a real test for going to the battlefield in advance. On the battlefield, it is a round-robin battle without a break for one second."

　　After hearing the words of the black-armored general, the scarred adjutant nodded and said nothing more.

　　Thanks to Zhou Yun's arrangement, all the civilian candidates had automatically avoided fighting with the noble candidates. After seeing Zhou Yun's performance in the first round with the noble candidates, the desire of the civilian candidates to get the first place in the martial arts exam had been suppressed by reason.

　　Cultivation cannot be improved instantly by just working hard, and they are still far from it now.

　　Since most civilians withdrew directly, the first two rounds of assessments went very quickly. Soon, Zhou Yun faced his first test in the third round.

　　"The third round, the first match, number one Zhou Yun versus number fifteen Xu Chong!" As the military officer in charge of the assessment made the announcement, everyone's attention was focused.

　　The other four tests conducted at the same time were all between nobles and commoners. Following Zhou Yun's advice, the last few commoner candidates withdrew from the tests. Naturally, everyone's attention was focused on the battle between Zhou Yun and Xu Chong.

　　In fact, even if they continued to fight, everyone's attention would still be drawn to Zhou Yun.

　　Standing on the ring, Zhou Yun looked at Xu Chong opposite him with a calm face, but there was a gleam in Xu Chong's eyes like a beast seeing its prey.

　　"Haha, it seems that not doing well in the test this morning does have its advantages. It allowed me to grab the first prize." Xu Chong grinned as he clenched his fists, making slight clicking sounds as his bones stretched.

　　Zhou Yun didn't care about Xu Chong's threat at all. He smiled calmly and said, "You are right. You did win the first prize. I guarantee that you will get a scar on your head."

　　"You're so sharp-tongued!" His face froze for a moment. Xu Chong looked at the ring on Zhou Yun's right hand and said greedily, "If you're willing to hand over that thing that doesn't belong to you, I can make your life a little easier. At least you won't become disabled."

　　"If you are planning to take this thing that belongs to me, I guarantee that you will become a cripple." Zhou Yun spoke calmly, his aura sinking at the same time, and he was ready for a fight.

　　The two of them spoke in a very loud voice, without any consideration for other people. Although they spoke very cryptically, almost everyone who understood could hear what they were saying.

　　"Looking for death!" After being blocked by Zhou Yun twice in a row without any expression, Xu Chong's eyes immediately flashed with a fierce light, and he rushed forward quickly. Xu Chong directly extended two fingers and actually grabbed Zhou Yun's eyes directly.

　　Xu Chong was practicing the Spirit Ape Fist, and the Spirit Ape Seeking Pearls move was a very ruthless one among them. One grab was enough to turn a person blind. Seeing Xu Chong using such a ruthless move right at the start, there was an immediate cry of surprise from the stands.

　　Seeing Xu Chong rushing towards him with a vicious look on his face, Zhou Yun immediately felt a surge of anger in his chest. He stomped his feet hard on the ground and pounced out like a tiger.

　　"The tiger is out of the cage!" With a loud shout, Zhou Yun clenched his right fist tightly, without any avoidance, and directly hit Xu Chong's outstretched fingers.

　　Xu Chong had never expected Zhou Yun to respond in this way. He was unable to change his moves for a moment. In an instant, his iron fist and fingertips collided with each other.

　　Snap!

　　At the moment of collision, the sound of broken bones was heard. Two of Xu Chong's fingers had been completely broken by Zhou Yun. Even his wrist could not withstand the huge force and broke completely.

　　"Ah!!" Xu Chong screamed immediately when he felt the piercing pain as his ten fingers were connected to his heart.

　　"A tiger swings its tail!" Without giving Xu Chong any time to react, Zhou Yun succeeded in hitting the target with a punch. His whole body immediately flipped over, like a tiger swinging its tail with all its strength. Zhou Yun's left leg turned into a residual shadow and directly chopped towards Xu Chong's head.

　　bump!

　　There was another loud bang, and Xu Chong was kicked away by Zhou Yun, falling heavily outside the ring, unconscious.

　　Originally everyone thought this would be a fierce battle between two evenly matched opponents, but unexpectedly it ended after the first exchange of moves. Everyone was stunned.

　　"Number one, Zhou Yunsheng!" The result is out, and the sergeant in charge of the assessment immediately announced it loudly.

　　As soon as the announcement was made, the entire training ground went into an uproar.

　　The entire training ground was once again filled with cheers for Zhou Yun. Seeing Zhou Yun kick Xu Chong away, the key civilian children below were all shocked.

　　"good!"

　　Wang Shihang and others cheered in unison.

　　After winning the match, Zhou Yun clasped his fists to the audience in the stands who supported him, then turned around and walked off the stage.

　　Under the ring, Wang Yang and his group of nobles all stood there with cold faces. They had just checked Xu Chong's injuries. He had two broken fingers, a fractured wrist, and a serious kick to the head. I'm afraid he would have hidden injuries.

　　"Zhou Yun, you're being too harsh." Wang Yang said coldly as he watched Zhou Yun walk past him.

　　Looking at Wang Yang, Zhou Yun snorted coldly, "Look at my classmates, and then you say this."

　　After leaving a few words behind, Zhou Yun had already walked to where a group of poor children gathered.

　　Seeing Wang Shihang and his men standing there, Zhou Yun immediately asked, "Shihang, how are Li Hui and the others injured?"

　　"It's not very optimistic. They have been sent to the clinic. We have collected some money for their treatment. I'm afraid it will take three months for them to recover." Shaking his head, Wang Shihang spoke with some concern.

　　The families of these commoners are not well off. Not only do they not have much money for medical treatment, but each of them is basically the main breadwinner of their family. Now that they have suffered such a serious injury, there will definitely be problems at home.

　　"It's okay. Traditionally, martial arts candidates will receive some reward money. After the examination, I will take out some of my money and distribute it to the injured students." After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun spoke slowly.

　　Zhou Yun had known for a long time that candidates who passed the military examination could receive some reward money. He had originally planned to use the money to purchase a new courtyard, since those who passed the military examination could directly set up a household.

　　But now it seems that I still have to ask Li Yi to borrow some money first. After the martial arts examination is completed, I should be able to earn some money to pay back Li Yi during the three months of training.

　　"Thank you very much." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Wang Shihang and other common people thanked Zhou Yun.

　　"We are all classmates, no need to be polite." Looking at the grateful looks in the eyes of the common people in front of him, Zhou Yun knew that his choice was right.

　　Chapter 17: Another win!

　　Xu Chong was seriously injured by Zhou Yun, which caused a commotion among the nobles. Xu Chong, who was kicked unconscious by Zhou Yun, was urgently sent back. Other nobles had also clearly seen Zhou Yun's strength in the previous battle.

　　"Master Wang, Zhou Yun is not a simple person. I just saw the momentum of his punch and the damage he caused to Xu Chong. I'm afraid that Zhou Yun has vaguely entered the realm of bone training. If not, Xu Chong would probably only have broken his finger and not his wrist." After sending Xu Chong away, a group of noble sons gathered together to discuss the next steps. Xu Chong's injury was examined by a noble son named Yu Fei. Yu Fei's family specializes in medicine and his judgment of the injury is very accurate.

　　"According to rumors, Zhou Yun has only reached the middle stage of skin training. How could he have made breakthroughs in such a short period of time? What's in the space ring bestowed by General Shenwei?" After hearing Yu Fei's words, Chen Ling spoke with some jealousy.

　　In his opinion, Zhou Yun’s cultivation could have improved so much in such a short period of time, which must be inseparable from the treasure bestowed by General Shenwei.

　　"Let's not talk about this anymore." Waving his hand, Wang Yang stopped Chen Ling from talking and said, "In my opinion, Zhou Yun's current strength is no longer something you can fight against. But no matter what, the spot for the Shenwei General Training Camp this time cannot fall into Zhou Yun's hands. What can you do?"

　　Looking at Wang Yang's expression, Chen Ling already knew that Wang Yang must have his own way of thinking, and that asking now was just a deliberate attempt to set a trap and make his own ideas known.

　　With a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, Chen Ling asked, "What do you think, Master Wang?"

　　Looking at Chen Ling with some approval, Wang Yang said, "There are still three rounds before the last one. According to the current situation, I can only meet him in the last round. So in the next two games, I hope you don't be careless and go all out to consume his physical strength. It's best to make him injured. At the very least, force him to use his special moves. I will watch carefully below. In addition, those who play against me should just go through the motions and admit defeat directly. Don't let me consume too much energy. Anyway, we are already in the quarterfinals and we are all martial arts candidates."

　　"But what if Zhou Yun uses heavy hands?" Chen Ling asked worriedly after hearing Wang Yang's words. What he was most afraid of just now was that Wang Yang would make such an arrangement, because he would be the one to fight against Zhou Yun. After seeing what happened to Xu Chong, Chen Ling was also somewhat nervous. His cultivation was higher than Xu Chong's, but not much higher.

　　Some other noble children were vaguely dissatisfied with Wang Yang. They all wanted to fight for a place in the Divine Power General Training Camp. Now Wang Yang wanted them to give up their places with just one sentence, which was somewhat difficult for them to accept.

　　Wang Yang had guessed what they were thinking when he saw the looks in the eyes of the nobles around him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "I know you all have your own thoughts, but I won't let you sacrifice in vain. If you help me today, I will also compensate you and your family accordingly. But I'm putting this here. If anyone doesn't cooperate today, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

　　Wang Yang's sudden harsh words made these noble children change their faces one by one. Normally, Wang Yang had a lot of power among them. If they really fought, they would definitely not be Wang Yang's opponent. It would be better for them to just obey Wang Yang's arrangements.

　　"Okay, since Master Wang said so, let's do it." After exchanging glances, Yu Fei spoke.

　　"That's good." With a wicked smile on his face, Wang Yang nodded.

　　None of these noble children are easy to deal with, so he will definitely have to spend some money to make such an arrangement. However, as long as he can enter the Shenwei training camp, such a loss is completely acceptable.

　　You know, the students in the Shenwei Training Camp have always been the descendants of great nobles in some countries. They can expand a lot of powerful connections there, which will be of great benefit to their future.

　　Looking back a few years later, these promises we made now will be nothing.

　　"Round 4, first examination room, number one Zhou Yun versus number eight Chen Ling."

　　"In the second examination room, No. 2 Wang Yang versus No. 7 Kang Zhongkai."

　　"Examination room number three, number three Lu Zheng versus number six Yu Fei."

　　…

　　At this time, the examiner had already read out the order of the fourth round of competition.

　　Standing up, Wang Yang said sternly, "Remember the arrangement just now, Chen Ling, take out all the things you have kept in your box and try to create trouble for Zhou Yun."

　　"I understand." Nodding, Chen Ling responded slowly.

　　On the other side, Zhou Yun also walked out from the group of common people's children and stood on the stage.

　　As soon as he stepped onto the ring, Zhou Yun immediately felt an invisible pressure, which came from his opponent.

　　When Zhou Yun was fighting with Xu Chong just now, he felt that Xu Chong's aura was one of contempt and urgency, and he wanted to knock him down as soon as possible.

　　The opponent he was facing now had a crazy and gloomy aura about him, but there was a kind of calmness in the madness, as if he was willing to tear him to pieces at all costs.

　　Feeling this pressure, Zhou Yun immediately felt a dangerous pricking sensation on his back, and he couldn't help but calm down.

　　It seems that this battle will be difficult.

　　"I advise you to give up this battle. Anyway, you are already in the top ten. As long as you can give up the first place, all of us noble children will compensate you. If you insist on your own way, even if you win, I'm afraid you will not be able to move forward in Heyang." Compared with Xu Chong, Chen Ling is obviously more ruthless. He directly launched a psychological offensive against Zhou Yun right from the start.

　　Zhou Yun looked at Chen Ling silently. Just as he was about to answer, Chen Ling had already pounced on him and punched him directly in the heart!

　　"Cunning!" Zhou Yun shouted angrily when he saw Chen Ling suddenly attacking him when he was about to speak and had not yet fully breathed in.

　　With a roar, Zhou Yun let out all the air in his chest, and his physical condition once again reached its peak.

　　Taking a big step upward with his left leg and turning his body at the same time, Zhou Yun swung his right elbow fiercely towards Chen Ling's abdomen. If this blow landed successfully, it would be enough to disperse all the true energy in Chen Ling's Dantian!

　　Although Zhou Yun had many flaws after this move, Chen Ling did not dare to attack at all, because once he made a move, his defense would be empty and he would be hit by the elbow!

　　"Get out of my way!" With a loud shout, Chen Ling quickly changed his moves, pressing down with his fist to block Zhou Yun's elbow.

　　bump!

　　There was a loud crash and the two figures separated immediately.

　　Zhou Yun only took two steps back and turned around, while Chen Ling took three steps back.

　　By shaking his right arm slightly, Zhou Yun had dispelled the numbness and soreness, but Chen Ling's fist was still aching slightly.

　　"Sure enough, he has reached the bone training realm. This is incredible!" Looking at Zhou Yun with a fierce look on his face, Chen Ling was horrified and at the same time, he desired the things in the space ring even more.

　　In his opinion, there must be some invaluable treasure that could allow Zhou Yun to improve his cultivation so quickly.

　　Seeing that Chen Ling was still staring at the ring on his right fist at this time, Zhou Yun sneered in his heart.

　　"You dare to be distracted during a fight? You're looking for death!" Zhou Yun growled in his heart, then suddenly rushed up, lowered his body, and pounced out like a tiger.

　　Zhou Yun quickly closed in and engaged Chen Ling in a fierce battle, with every move being close and pressing. Although Chen Ling was familiar with the family inherited Dragon Fish Nine Transformations and had an advantage over Zhou Yun in terms of mobility, Zhou Yun took advantage of Chen Ling's inattention and pursued him relentlessly, never giving Chen Ling a chance to distance himself.

　　Zhou Yun knew that he was definitely not as good as Chen Ling in terms of moves, but in a chaotic fight, his level of cultivation was higher than Chen Ling's, and he would definitely be able to accumulate advantages and turn them into victory if he fought in close combat.

　　The battles on the other stages were basically just passing scenes and had already ended, leaving only the No. 1 stage still fighting. The two people on the stage were already tangled together, quickly counterattacking each other, making the audience in the stands shout for excitement and get their blood boiling.

　　On the main stage, the adjutant next to the black-armored general kept nodding his head, "This Zhou Yun is indeed a good material. His tactics are at a disadvantage, but his fighting sense and grasp of timing are indeed impeccable."

　　At the beginning of the fight, Chen Ling launched a cunning sneak attack, and Zhou Yun had already suffered a small loss. However, in the critical moment, Zhou Yun dared to scare Chen Ling away with a life-threatening attack, and took advantage of the situation. This ability to seize opportunities is already very powerful.

　　"Given time, he can become a great man." The black-armored general who was sitting quietly had already seen that Chen Ling was at the end of his strength. With a smile on his face, the black-armored general slowly commented.

　　As soon as the black-armored general finished his evaluation, changes suddenly occurred on the stage!

　　Unable to bear Zhou Yun's pressure, Chen Ling suddenly changed his tactics, changing his fist into a claw and directly covering Zhou Yun's face.

　　This unprepared move also allowed Zhou Yun to seize the flaw. With a flash of his body, Zhou Yun dodged Chen Ling's attack with a half turn. He gathered strength in his right fist and used a tiger turn back move to hit Chen Ling heavily in the ribs!

　　"puff!"

　　After being hit hard by Zhou Yun, Chen Lin immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body flew out and fell heavily under the ring.

　　"good!"

　　Seeing Zhou Yun defeat another nobleman, Wang Shihang, Xie Xiaofeng, Chen Nan and others who were watching below cheered loudly. The entire stands also shouted Zhou Yun's name in unison, and for a moment, the atmosphere was extremely heated.

　　"Haha, it seems that Zhou Yun is not only going to become a martial arts candidate, but also has to participate in the Shenwei training camp!" Seeing Zhou Yun win another game, Li Yi in the stands immediately laughed out loud, feeling excited in his heart.

　　With Zhou Yun's performance today, it is really possible for him to win first place.

　　After passing the exam, Zhou Yun could leave the Qin family and set up his own household. If Zhou Yun could really win the first place in the exam and enter the Shenwei training camp, his marriage to Zhou Xue would probably not be opposed.

　　With Zhou Yun's bright future, it is inevitable that his sister will be a good match for him as he is from a prominent family.

　　Thinking of this, Li Yi felt even happier.

　　At this time, Zhao Guang looked at Zhou Yun's right hand without blinking, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and Zhao Guang stood up directly, "Brother Li, Miss Qin, I suddenly remembered that I have some urgent matters to deal with, so I'll excuse myself first."

　　After leaving a few words, Zhao Guang bowed and quickly left the stands.

　　——————————

　　Dear readers, please appreciate the flowers and collect them. It’s not easy for a newcomer.

　　Chapter 18 Momentum Accumulation

　　"Mr. Li, I'll have to leave first." Seeing Zhao Guang get up and leave, Qin Lan also said goodbye to Li Yi.

　　"Please feel free to do as you please." Still looking happy, Li Yi bowed to Qin Lan, but his eyes were still focused on the examination room.

　　With a sweet smile, Qin Lan quickly left the stands.

　　After a moment, after confirming that Zhao Guang and Qin Lan had gone far away, the smile on Li Yi's face immediately disappeared.

　　Li Yi waved his hand and called the servant behind him over.

　　"Master, what's the matter?" Seeing Li Yi's gesture, a servant in blue clothes immediately came over.

　　"Heizi, go home quickly and inform Uncle Long in the worship hall, and ask him to find all the powerful worshippers in the family and send a few powerful worshippers to the Qin family to protect Zhou Xue. Then send a few people to my side. Don't get too close, just keep an eye on Zhou Yun from a distance. If anyone wants to harm him, protect him. Also, go to the yard next to my house and buy it. The title deed should be blank, as it might be needed later." Watching Zhao Guang and Qin Lan leave, Li Yi instinctively sensed a different atmosphere and immediately made arrangements.

　　"Okay." Li Yi's personal servant was also a smart guy. After hearing what his master said, he immediately realized that the matter was not simple. After responding, the servant immediately ran out.

　　After making the arrangements, Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief and began to watch the arena battle in the training ground quietly.

　　This time's martial arts examination has entered the final stage. Now there are only four candidates who are qualified to continue the examination. These four people are already the top four in this examination.

　　"Fifth round of assessment! First examination room, No. 1 Zhou Yun versus No. 4 Han Qian!"

　　"In the second examination room, No. 2 Wang Yang versus No. 3 Lu Zheng!"

　　After a fierce battle with Chen Ling, Zhou Yun's physical strength had been consumed. After stepping down from the stage, Zhou Yun did not talk to his classmates in the Tiger Martial Arts Hall, but took advantage of the one-stick-of-incense break between the two rounds of assessments to restore his physical strength.

　　Hearing the examiner's call, Zhou Yun, who had closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for a while, stood up again.

　　"Zhou Yun, be careful of Han Qian's fist. He has several rings on his hands, which are very sharp and extremely vicious. Be careful not to fight with him!" Seeing Zhou Yun about to step onto the ring, Wang Shihang on the side immediately reminded him.

　　Wang Shihang was a very careful person. He carefully examined the injuries of each of the commoners who were beaten by the nobles. Most of the injuries were purely physical. Only the candidate who fought against Han Qian had a wound on his chest caused by a sharp weapon, which made Wang Shihang extra careful.

　　After observing for a while, Wang Shihang finally discovered Han Qian's secret.

　　Looking at Wang Shihang, whose face was filled with concern and anxiety, Zhou Yun nodded silently.

　　On the stage, Han Qian had already been waiting for Zhou Yun. Seeing Zhou Yun coming on stage, Wang Shihang laughed grimly, "Zhou Yun, let's talk about the terms. As long as you are willing to withdraw, I will have a chance to join the training camp of General Shenwei. You see, Wang Yang's fight is fake, and only you are wasting energy. Even if you pass this level, you can't pass the next level."

　　Han Qian was not in a hurry to attack, but stood on the ring with his hands clasped and began to talk to Zhou Yun. Although Han Qian was a descendant of a noble family, he had a rough face and a short stature, less than half an inch short of five feet. His triangular eyes were cunning, and his thin face and irregular teeth gave people an uncomfortable feeling.

　　Looking at Han Qian's appearance, it is impossible to imagine that he is a nobleman. Instead, he looks like a horse thief.

　　This time Zhou Yun already had experience, so he ignored Han Qian, took a step back, and began to take deep breaths silently to adjust his physical condition.

　　Arena No. 1 is not far from Arena No. 2, and the fight between Wang Yang and Lu Zheng at the far end is unsurprisingly a perfunctory one, as can be seen from the two men's light and fluttery moves that seem like a performance.

　　"Think about it. As long as you are willing to withdraw, I will give you 100,000 taels of silver, plus a set of bone-training secrets. How about it? Anyway, you are a martial arts candidate now." Seeing that Zhou Yun didn't speak, Han Qian spoke again.

　　While speaking, there was a hint of smile in Han Qian's eyes, as if there was some conspiracy hidden in his eyes.

　　At this time, the battle in Examination Room No. 2 was almost coming to an end. Since it was just a fake fight, it naturally wouldn't take much time.

　　Looking at the situation in the second examination room, Zhou Yun had guessed Han Qian's idea. Han Qian wanted to use Wang Yang to easily pass the test, while he would have to fight hard all the way, and would definitely consume too much energy in the end and be unable to defeat Wang Yang. He used words to put pressure on Zhou Yun, making Zhou Yun confused in the battle, and even holding back until he failed.

　　With a sneer in his heart, Zhou Yun decided to play along, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face at any time. At the same time, Zhou Yun's knees in his trouser legs were slightly bent, and he began to accumulate momentum little by little in the posture of Crouching Tiger.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's expression change, Han Qian's eyes immediately flashed with light, and he hurriedly continued, "Zhou Yun, my Han family is also one of the most prestigious families in Heyang City. As long as you are willing to help me this time, I will definitely give you countless benefits!"

　　Without answering, Zhou Yun quietly closed his eyes and concentrated his attention completely, feeling Han Qian's every move. At the same time, he bent his knees further, leaned forward, hunched his chest and clenched his fists, keeping a posture of holding back but not releasing, ready to attack at any time.

　　At this time, on the opposite No. 2 ring, Lu Zheng had been pushed off the ring by Wang Yang's palm, and the winner had been decided.

　　"Number two, Wang Yangsheng!"

　　The examiner immediately announced the result of another venue. Upon hearing this announcement, Han Qian's smile became even more intense.

　　In Han Qian's opinion, his words could definitely shake Zhou Yun's confidence. From Zhou Yun's expression just now, it could be seen that he was now confident of defeating Zhou Yun.

　　As long as he could defeat Zhou Yun and get rid of Zhou Yun, the eldest son of an outside servant, he could then compete with Wang Yang openly for a spot in the Shenwei training camp.

　　"What do you think, Zhou Yun? Make a decision quickly. My patience is limited!" Feeling at ease, Han Qian's tone immediately changed and he became aggressive.

　　Just now, Han Qian's attention had been partly on Wang Yang, until this moment he focused all his attention on Zhou Yun. At this moment, Han Qian immediately felt a strong sense of crisis!

　　"Zhou Yun, what's wrong with you..." Han Qian was shocked and exclaimed immediately!

　　It turned out that without him realizing it, Zhou Yun's entire aura had changed drastically, like a tiger about to pounce. Although his eyes were squinting, an extremely powerful deterrent force was spreading around his body, as if it was ready to rush over and tear him to pieces at any time!

　　Han Qian had never expected that Zhou Yun would have such a powerful aura. He actually felt that he was trapped in a situation with no way to escape on the stage.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun had already seen through Han Qian's thoughts, but he did not expose them. Instead, Zhou Yun played along and took advantage of the fact that Han Qian would not act so quickly to display the Crouching Tiger Stance that he had studied for a long time!

　　This Crouching Tiger Posture was the result of Zhou Yun's continuous practice with Lightning over the past few years. After he did it, he actually had the momentum of a real tiger, just like Lightning every time he preyed on some living sheep, deer and other animals.

　　You don't even have to put in any effort, you just need to circle around the prey step by step, and constantly accumulate momentum to scare the prey so much that they crawl on the ground and tremble, not daring to resist their own fate of death!

　　At this time, Zhou Yun's aura had already completely locked onto Han Qian, leaving him with almost no way to escape!

　　"Ah! You are looking for death!" At this time Han Qian finally understood that he had fallen under the pressure of Zhou Yun's accumulated momentum. His body and mind had been affected. He did not dare to stay any longer. Han Qian shouted and pounced directly at Zhou Yun!

　　"Um!?"

　　Feeling Han Qian's movement, Zhou Yun suddenly opened his eyes and used the 'tiger staring' move from the tiger fist. His pair of bright eyes pierced into Han Qian's eyes like a sharp sword.

　　This glance made Han Qian feel as if he was falling into an icy cave, and he couldn't help but shiver.

　　"roar!"

　　Seeing that Han Qian had been completely intimidated by his aura, Zhou Yun finally moved. The energy that had been accumulated in his chest and abdomen suddenly burst out. This roar was like that of a real tiger, and it brought out a thunder-like echo throughout the entire training ground.

　　"Ah!!" Shocked by the roar, many spectators in the stands screamed in fear and leaned back involuntarily!

　　In a flash, Zhou Yun had pounced in front of Han Qian and punched out with all his strength, aiming straight at Han Qian's heart!

　　Knowing that he could not dodge the punch no matter what, Han Qian was instantly aroused with a trace of ferocity. Han Qian's ancestors were bandits who were recruited by the government army when the Tianyuan Dynasty was founded, and thus they were given the title of a prominent family, but the ferocity in his bones remained unchanged.

　　"Go to hell!" In a moment of desperation, Han Qian also swung his right fist and hit Zhou Yun!

　　This was also a move that was intended to hurt both sides. Facing such a situation, the only way to win was to be more courageous. Ignoring Han Qian's fist, Zhou Yun continued to increase his strength and fiercely pounded at Han Qian!

　　boom!

　　With a loud collision, Zhou Yun stepped back three steps, blood gushing from his shoulder, while Han Qian was directly knocked out of the ring by Zhou Yun's punch. As he flew backwards in the air, a mouthful of blood gushed out.

　　"puff!"

　　Han Qian fell heavily to the ground and spat out another mouthful of blood. His whole body was shaking as if he had cramps. He raised his finger and pointed at Zhou Yun. Blood flowed out of his mouth and nose. He could no longer speak.

　　Seeing this, the centurion in charge of the assessment immediately stepped forward to support Han Qian, took out a pill and fed it to him. After taking the pill, Han Qian's face, which was as pale as death, improved a little.

　　"Zhou Yun! Do you want to kill someone?" Seeing Han Qian's condition, Yu Fei immediately took two steps forward and shouted at Zhou Yun!

　　Chapter 19: Blue Dragon Fist

　　As Yu Fei's family mainly runs a medical clinic and medicine business, he also has a certain understanding of medical pathology. He could tell at a glance how serious Han Qian's injuries were. If the centurion in charge of the assessment had not acted in time, Han Qian might have died!

　　At this moment he was really anxious. He didn't expect Zhou Yun to be so ruthless!

　　Seeing Han Qian lying there with a pale face, Zhou Yun was a little shocked at first. He didn't expect that his full-strength punch would have such power.

　　But he immediately adjusted his mindset. These noble descendants had always disliked him, and after the fight in the ring began, they used all kinds of despicable means. First, they injured several civilian descendants without regard for their status, and then they came up with the shameless tactic of fighting in a round to consume his strength.

　　Until just now, Han Qian was still plotting to destroy his self-confidence. After Zhou Yun figured it out in his mind, he no longer had any mental burden about such a person.

　　"In the ring test, life and death are determined by fate, and this is also the rule of the test." Zhou Yun responded calmly and walked down from the ring. He took some healing medicine and sprinkled it on his wound. Zhou Yun tore off a piece of cloth from his leggings and wrapped it around the wound on his shoulder. He sat down and treated his injuries.

　　"You...!" Seeing Zhou Yun's calm look and not taking him seriously at all, Yu Fei immediately wanted to get angry.

　　"Don't be angry. You guys should send Han Qian back to the Han family as soon as possible and let his family make the decision." Wang Yang said, waving his hand to stop Yu Fei.

　　Although Han Qian was seriously injured, Wang Yang did not feel sad. After all, he had achieved his goal. After several battles, he did not lose much strength, but Zhou Yun was greatly exhausted. Especially in the battle with Han Qian just now, although Zhou Yun won and the process was very fast, Han Qian was the first person to injure Zhou Yun.

　　More importantly, after these few battles, Wang Yang has seen many of Zhou Yun's cards and is familiar with Zhou Yun's fighting style, which is extremely beneficial for his battle with Zhou Yun later. As long as he can win this last battle and join the Shenwei training camp, thinking about his future prospects, Wang Yang feels eager in his heart.

　　Seeing Wang Yang speaking, Yu Fei didn't know what to say, "Okay."

　　In response, Yu Fei called a few servants and together with Chen Ling, sent Han Qian home first.

　　As everyone who needed to leave left and those who needed to rest and prepare finished their rest and preparation, the parade ground returned to calm again, leaving only a group of people in the stands talking among themselves.

　　Zhou Yun's performance this time has won great honor for all the civilians in Heyang City. Not only did it break the tradition that had lasted for many years that all the places in the martial arts examination were monopolized by the children of nobles, but he also had the opportunity to get the first place in this martial arts examination.

　　For them, this is almost an unparalleled innovation.

　　The Black Wolf Army sergeants in charge of this assessment were also shocked. It seemed that they could really witness the birth of a genius when they were supervising the exam in Heyang this time.

　　"Commander, I have never seen tiger fist with such power. Especially the momentum, it is incredible." On the main stage, the scarred adjutant was still shocked by Zhou Yun's thundering blow just now. In his opinion, although the fight between Zhou Yun and Han Qian just now was very short and the two fought for only one round, it can be regarded as the most exciting battle from the beginning of the ring assessment to now.

　　"Don't ask me, I don't know either." After hearing the scar-faced adjutant's words, the black-armored general shook his head silently. Among warriors, it is very common to use momentum to oppress the opponent. Some warriors even practice some eye skills to enhance their momentum and deterrence, so as to make the opponent unstable with their eyesight during the battle.

　　Having fought in the army for many years, the black-armored general had seen all kinds of techniques for controlling momentum. Although he had heard of it before and even practiced Tiger Fist, and knew that Tiger Fist included the intimidating attack move of the tiger's glare, he had never seen someone who could practice this simple technique to such a level.

　　What is even more surprising is that Zhou Yun is only a fifteen-year-old boy this year.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun who was meditating and regulating his breathing calmly, the black-armored general couldn't help but think of the word "monster" in his mind.

　　On the other side, Li Yi frowned slightly, looking serious. Zhou Yun might not know much about Han Qian's family, but as the only big family in Heyang City, he knew the Han family very well.

　　They were basically just a group of bandits who behaved well on the surface. Although they no longer engaged in robbing and looting, the Han family still had a strong influence in Tianhe Province and even in the entire southwest of the Tianyuan Dynasty. They even controlled many shady businesses.

　　Zhou Yun severely injured Han Qian, almost to death, and how to deal with the aftermath is still a headache. Originally, having the treasure box given by General Shenwei was already a very troublesome matter, and now the descendants of the Xu, Chen and Han families were injured. This matter has become more and more serious.

　　Under the ring, Zhou Yun was still sitting there quietly, regulating his breathing silently for a moment. Zhou Yun's injuries had improved a lot. Although there was still some dull pain, such pain could no longer cause any impact on Zhou Yun.

　　To be able to cultivate to such a level as a foreign servant, it goes without saying that Zhou Yun has suffered a lot over the years. If he couldn't bear this little pain, then he would not be Zhou Yun.

　　His injuries improved slightly, and Zhou Yun immediately began to think about the situation he was facing.

　　"I'm afraid there will be some trouble after injuring a few noble sons, but this is only a matter of time. I got the treasure box of General Shenwei. Even if today's incident hadn't happened, these children of noble families would not let me off easily. It's just right that something happened. Let's see what tricks they have and I'll take them all." After thinking silently for a moment, Zhou Yun had already made up his mind and spoke silently in his heart.

　　After experiencing the battle with Lin Juntian, Zhou Yun's entire personality has undergone some changes. Before, Zhou Yun was humble and low-key, but now Zhou Yun seems to have been awakened and has a sharp feeling.

　　Realizing the responsibilities on his shoulders, Zhou Yun is no longer afraid of fighting.

　　A stick of incense-long rest period had passed, and the centurion in charge of the assessment was finally ready to give the order again.

　　"The last match of today's arena battle will determine who will become the first place in the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination and enter the Shenwei Training Camp! The assessment will be held in the first arena, with number one Zhou Yun facing number two Wang Yang!"

　　Wow!!!

　　Following the centurion's order, the entire parade ground was once again filled with a great wave of cheers and noise, most of which were voices cheering for Zhou Yun.

　　Obviously, this is Zhou Yun's home court.

　　Hearing the centurion's order, Zhou Yun took a deep breath and slowly stood up. The slight weakness after the battle just now was no longer visible at this moment, and Zhou Yun's eyes were now full of determination.

　　On the other side, Wang Yang, who had already calculated all possible situations that might arise in the battle in his mind, stood up with full confidence.

　　The two men walked onto the stage from two directions, one on the left and one on the right.

　　Standing on the ring, Zhou Yun silently looked at Wang Yang opposite him. Wearing a fine green suit, an exquisite pure steel belt around his waist, and wolfskin boots, Wang Yang looked really majestic at the moment.

　　With a sigh of relief, Zhou Yun was on guard cautiously. He didn't know much about Wang Yang's fighting skills. Now Zhou Yun could only proceed step by step and test Wang Yang's foundation before making any plans.

　　At this moment, Wang Yang looked at Zhou Yun with a look of undisguised anger, as well as a hint of greed and disgust.

　　In Heyang City, Wang Yang has always been hailed as the strongest student in this class, because the quality of students in Maple Forest Academy is always much higher than that in Tiger Martial Arts Hall. Wang Yang himself also enjoys the aura of the number one genius. Now, his aura has finally been challenged and may even be trampled upon. Naturally, Wang Yang hopes to defeat Zhou Yun, the man who dared to challenge him.

　　Knowing that Zhou Yun would not take the first step, Wang Yang no longer waited in vain. He took a small step to the side with his left foot. At the same time, he raised his left arm and spread his left palm flatly facing upwards. He raised his right hand three inches and retracted his five fingers slightly to form sharp claws. His back was still straight, but there was no feeling of stiffness at all.

　　It was just a simple opening move, but Zhou Yun immediately felt a huge pressure. Although he had never seen such an opening move, Zhou Yun instinctively realized that the fighting skills that Wang Yang was really practicing were definitely not that simple!

　　"Huh? It's the Blue Dragon Fist!" On the main stage, the black-armored general leaned forward immediately, staring at Wang Yang intently when he saw Wang Yang's opening move.

　　“This kid is just from a prominent family, right? How could he have the Blue Dragon Fist? This is a martial art that only families above the rank of Marquis can obtain!” The scar-faced adjutant also saw through Wang Yang’s opening move at once. This was clearly a precursor to the unleashing of the Blue Dragon Fist, the Blue Dragon’s concentration in preparation.

　　It is said that the Blue Dragon Fist was created by Xiang Long, one of the founding fathers of the Qin Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. It has three levels, namely Dragon Fist, Eight Styles of Blue Dragon Soaring in the Clouds and Blue Dragon Flying in the Sky. If practiced to the highest level, it is said that one can rise as fast as a dragon, tearing apart mountains and stopping rivers, with unrivaled power.

　　After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the succeeding dynasties took this martial arts book into the royal possession. Only those who had made great contributions in the military could be granted such martial arts.

　　It can be said that ordinary people can never learn such martial arts. Although the Wang family is also among the nobles, compared with those real nobles, they are no different from ordinary people. Therefore, the appearance of the Azure Dragon Fist on him was particularly surprising to the black-armored general. Even he could not get in touch with such martial arts.

　　Although the army of the Tianyuan Dynasty can exchange advanced skills in the royal arsenal by accumulating military merits, if they can make outstanding contributions, they may be able to exchange for very powerful skills. Skills such as Qinglong Fist are enough to support a warrior to practice to the realm of martial saint. With this boxing book, it is not too far to be granted a title of nobility.

　　Although there is such a way, it is not easy to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield. The black-armored general is only a commander. It is probably hopeless for him to accumulate enough military merits to exchange for martial arts such as the Blue Dragon Fist in his lifetime.

　　"Donglin, this is not a small matter. After the assessment, you should contact the Seven Stars Palace immediately to find out why Wang Yang has this set of boxing techniques." The leakage of the skills in the royal arsenal has always been strictly prohibited. Although the Tianyuan Dynasty values ​​martial arts, it must ensure that all warriors are under state control. Therefore, advanced secrets can only be obtained through the rules set by the state.

　　The origin of Wang Yang's boxing skills is obviously wrong, so the black-armored general naturally has the responsibility to investigate.

　　"Got it." The scar-faced adjutant nodded and stopped talking. The two began to watch the fight that was about to begin on the ring together.

　　Chapter 20 Opportunity!

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun felt as if he was being stared at by some unknown beast and was completely locked by it. As Wang Yang took a step forward, the pressure on Zhou Yun suddenly became heavier.

　　"We can't do this. We can only take the initiative to attack now, otherwise we will be overwhelmed by his momentum." Feeling that he was in a disadvantageous position, Zhou Yun immediately made a decision in his mind.

　　The situation he was facing now was similar to that of Han Qian just now, except that Han Qian was distracted and was controlled by Zhou Yun's aura when he was unprepared, while Zhou Yun was still oppressed by Wang Yang even though he was fully prepared.

　　When warriors fight, the determination to win is extremely important. If they continue to be oppressed and their momentum weakens, they will undoubtedly lose the battle.

　　After realizing this, Zhou Yun immediately took action.

　　Zhou Yun moved his left and right feet forward in turn, and he also gathered his fingers into grabs, straightened his upper body, and grabbed towards Wang Yang's neck.

　　This is a relatively flexible attacking technique in Tiger Fist, the Fierce Tiger Climbing the Mountain. Although this move is not the strongest in terms of attack power, it is flexible and can be used to advance or retreat.

　　This time, Zhou Yun's purpose was just to test and break Wang Yang's power.

　　"Well done!" Seeing Zhou Yun taking the initiative to attack, Wang Yang laughed wildly, stomped his feet on the ground one after the other, and his whole body floated up low like a short cloud, and immediately surpassed Zhou Yun in height.

　　Retracting his left arm, Wang Yang also turned his right hand into a claw and grabbed Zhou Yun's crown in mid-air!

　　"It's the Dragon Shaped Fist!" This time, Zhou Yun finally saw the clue from Wang Yang's attack.

　　Zhou Yun also had some understanding of the Dragon Form Fist. Although he did not have such profound knowledge that he could identify it based on a starting posture, after the opponent made a move, Zhou Yun could still clearly judge what kind of routine his opponent was using.

　　The biggest feature of the Dragon Shape Fist is its majestic and powerful nature, and it has no obvious weaknesses, which is consistent with the characteristics of the ancient ferocious beast dragon.

　　"No wonder it has such domineering power. The Dragon Shape Fist is indeed powerful! I just don't know which type of Dragon Shape Fist this is." Zhou Yun was secretly shocked. His body suddenly sank and he dodged Wang Yang's move with a Tiger Roll Mountain and once again widened the distance.

　　Having already made a move, it would be difficult for Wang Yang's momentum to be condensed in a short time. Stopping now was not the best option. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Zhou Yun fell into a slight disadvantage, Wang Yang immediately moved forward and quickly launched a series of moves, each of which was aimed at Zhou Yun's vital points.

　　Compared with the relatively low-end martial arts like Tiger Fist, the Green Dragon Fist has a huge advantage in combat. At this moment, Wang Yang seems to have turned into a fighting machine, and every part of his body can be used as a weapon.

　　The dragon's body is originally a nearly perfect fighting body, unlike the tiger's body, which, although its mouth, claws, tail and other attacks are fierce, its waist and back are slightly weak and lack strength.

　　Although his cultivation level was a little weaker than Zhou Yun's, Wang Yang's fighting skills were powerful. His Qinglong Fist was extremely fierce and difficult to defend against. In a short while, it left several wounds on Zhou Yun's body.

　　Phew!

　　There was a sound of clothes tearing, and Wang Yang scratched Zhou Yun's right shoulder again, and blood immediately flowed out.

　　"Hmm!" Zhou Yun groaned in pain, and his body immediately turned, stomping his right foot hard on the ground and swinging his left leg violently.

　　"The tiger wags its tail!" With a loud shout, Zhou Yun kicked towards Wang Yang with all his strength.

　　As if he had already expected Zhou Yun to do this, Wang Yang's body had already turned after he grabbed with his claw. He stepped on the ground with his left foot and kicked back with his right foot in a way that seemed to be the same as Zhou Yun's, but with a shorter distance and greater force.

　　"The blue dragon swings its tail!"

　　bump!!

　　When his legs collided, Zhou Yun immediately felt as if his calves were hit hard by an extremely thick whip. Waves of burning pain immediately surged up, and he could not help but take several steps back.

　　On the other hand, although Wang Yang's leg bones were slightly numb because his cultivation was slightly lower than Zhou Yun's, his situation was much better than Zhou Yun's.

　　"Haha, a slave will always be a slave. Even if you try your best to change your fate, you can't do it. Today I will shatter all your dreams!" Seeing Zhou Yun's embarrassed look, Wang Yang laughed heartily.

　　So far, all the battles have been as he expected. Zhou Yun's cultivation has indeed reached the bone training realm, and his qi and blood are also very strong and lasting, but Zhou Yun's boxing skills are too ordinary. Moreover, through the previous few battles, he has seen most of Zhou Yun's trump cards and fighting habits.

　　Just like before, Wang Yang had already guessed that Zhou Yun was going to use Tiger Tail Swipe before Zhou Yun made any move, so he was prepared in advance.

　　"Wang Yang is too despicable. Zhou Yun is in danger now." Below the ring, Wang Shihang and other civilian children were also watching the developments on the ring. Seeing Zhou Yun fall into trouble, everyone immediately became worried.

　　"The attack habits have been figured out. This battle will not be easy." Nodding, Xie Xiaofeng agreed with Wang Shihang's words.

　　"Not necessarily. Zhou Yun will definitely find a way. Let's wait and see. After all, Zhou Yun's absolute cultivation is still higher." While paying attention to the battle on the ring, Chen Nan also spoke.

　　Unconsciously, all the students in the entire Tiger Martial Arts Hall have regarded Zhou Yun as the core and paid close attention to his every move.

　　Just as the common people below had expected, Zhou Yun was trying hard to find a solution at this time.

　　Wang Yang's boxing skills were so powerful that it was basically difficult for Zhou Yun to gain an advantage in the fight. However, Wang Yang knew all of his moves, so the fight could no longer be considered an equal one.

　　"Now we can only try our best to hold on. We must not rush for success. We must try to consume Wang Yang while looking for his weaknesses." Looking at Wang Yang who was approaching, Zhou Yun took a deep breath and began to slowly retreat.

　　ha!

　　With an angry roar, Wang Yang pounced towards Zhou Yun again. He rose and fell like a green dragon, and his movements were agile and smooth with a powerful momentum.

　　With his eyes burning, Zhou Yun tried to concentrate his attention and watched every move of Wang Yang. Because his moves were passive, it was difficult for Zhou Yun to launch a powerful counterattack, but he could still barely resist Wang Yang's moves.

　　Puff! Puff! Puff!

　　Three more sounds of clothes tearing were heard, and the two figures separated. Zhou Yun had three more wounds on his body that were deep enough to see the bones.

　　However, these wounds were not in vital positions, which was exactly Zhou Yun's strategy. Now he had no way to seize the opportunity to counterattack, and could only rely on resistance and delay to make the battle last as long as possible, so as to observe Wang Yang's weaknesses.

　　Standing there, Wang Yang in green clothes was graceful and elegant. Being a descendant of the nobility, Wang Yang had a good appearance. With the faint aura he brought out when performing the Green Dragon Fist, he had a sense of transcendence.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun's clothes were torn and his body was covered in blood, just like a beggar on the street.

　　"How much more blood do you have left to shed?" Looking at Zhou Yun proudly, Wang Yang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke contemptuously.

　　Looking at the arrogant Wang Yang, Zhou Yun showed a faint smile on his face, "Of course it's more than you can imagine. I have as much blood as you have strength."

　　Although he was very passive, Zhou Yun felt the power of Qi and blood in his body, and his heart was much calmer. The current situation was not bad, and Zhou Yun could still hold on.

　　"You're so sharp-tongued!" With a cold snort, Wang Yang pounced forward again.

　　His body tensed up in an instant, Zhou Yun took a step forward, and the two of them collided with each other.

　　All of a sudden, the sounds of fists and feet colliding rang out on the ring. The two men fought each other so quickly that the civilians in the stands couldn't even see their movements clearly.

　　During the battle, Zhou Yun was trying his best to support Wang Yang. Wang Yang's moves were basically one after another, continuous and it was difficult to find room for counterattack.

　　Looking at Wang Yang with a crazy look on his face, Zhou Yun thought quickly in his heart. Now there are many wounds on his body that are bleeding. If he continues to consume it like this, even if his blood and qi are more durable than Wang Yang, he will probably not be able to hold on.

　　Now the only thing we can do is to let Wang Yang get injured first. This may disrupt his rhythm and also accelerate his consumption.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun gritted his teeth and did not dodge Wang Yang's iron fist at all. Instead, he directly grabbed Wang Yang's chest with his claws!

　　"Hmm!" Wang Yang originally thought that Zhou Yun was going to retreat and dodge, or block, but he didn't expect Zhou Yun to suddenly change his tactics and choose a way that would hurt both sides. Although Zhou Yun would definitely be more seriously injured than him by this attack, Wang Yang didn't want Zhou Yun to really hurt him!

　　In a hurry, Wang Yang actually wanted to retreat, but Zhou Yun seized the opportunity.

　　"hiss!"

　　His right hand turned into a sharp claw, and Zhou Yun condensed all his internal strength on his five fingers, and suddenly grabbed Wang Yang's chest!

　　Suddenly, with a "puff" sound, Zhou Yun's claws left a horrible bloody mark on Wang Yang's chest!

　　bump!

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun's left rib was hit hard by Wang Yang's punch, and the whole person flew out horizontally.

　　After falling heavily to the ground, Zhou Yun rolled over and once again took a defensive posture.

　　The wound under his ribs was piercingly painful, but Zhou Yun had a smile on his face. Because Wang Yang was also in pain at this time. Due to the hesitation during the fight, Wang Yang suffered a loss and his injury was more serious than Zhou Yun's!

　　"Zhou Yun, I will kill you!" Seeing his originally neat clothes torn by Zhou Yun and blood flowing from his chest, Wang Yang's eyes immediately turned red. With a loud shout, Wang Yang actually rushed towards Zhou Yun regardless of anything!

　　"Wang Yang has lost his mind. Good opportunity!" Seeing the situation on the ring, Li Yi, who had been worried about Zhou Yun, immediately clenched his fists!

　　Looking at Wang Yang who was rushing towards him frantically, Zhou Yun suddenly straightened his body, dodged quickly, and went directly behind Wang Yang, creating distance again.

　　Originally, with Wang Yang's boxing skills, it was not easy for Zhou Yun to get around him, but at this time Wang Yang seemed to be in a state of frenzy, and Zhou Yun also keenly sensed a hint of opportunity.

　　There was a hint of unnaturalness in Wang Yang's madness. Looking at the torn clothes on Wang Yang's chest, Zhou Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.

　　----------------------------

　　Please give me flowers, please give me collections, please give me VIPs, please give me everything. Please support me.

　　Chapter 21 Final Victory

　　"So he cares about this." Seeing that Wang Yang's body still had a hint of unnaturalness during his crazy attack, and seemed a little anxious and embarrassed, Zhou Yun immediately understood Wang Yang's thoughts.

　　It turned out that Wang Yang became a little crazy and unnatural because Zhou Yun scratched his clothes on the chest, which broke his elegant image.

　　Come to think of it, a man like Wang Yang has always been a pampered young man, and wherever he goes, he presents himself as an elegant and detached person. Now, he is forced into such an embarrassing situation by Zhou Yun on the stage where everyone is paying attention. How can he remain calm?

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun stopped dodging and immediately pounced on Wang Yang.

　　Originally fearing the strength of Wang Yang's martial arts, Zhou Yun had been carefully keeping a distance from Wang Yang, fearing that Wang Yang would seize the opportunity to deal him a heavy blow.

　　However, at this time, Zhou Yun took the initiative to choose the most dangerous close combat mode, the leaning combat mode. The two bodies were very close to each other, and it was difficult for fists to exert their power at this time. Both of them chose to use claw skills at the same time.

　　In close combat, turning fists into claws can exert the same power as a dagger, and the dagger is the most powerful weapon in close combat.

　　With a hint of madness and ruthlessness in his eyes, Zhou Yun mobilized his energy and blood with all his strength and attacked rapidly. Every move was extremely fierce, and he actually forced Wang Yang into a precarious situation.

　　Courage is almost the most important thing in close combat, because every second is between life and death, and there is no room for distraction or retreat.

　　Faced with such a situation, Wang Yang's courage is nothing compared to Zhou Yun. Although he is only fifteen years old, Zhou Yun has experienced at least two moments between life and death, and both times were related to Lin Junyao.

　　Attacking quickly, Lin Junyao's smile vaguely emerged in Zhou Yun's mind. A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, but then, this tenderness was replaced by fierceness and ruthlessness.

　　Zhou Yun swung his right claw down suddenly, and immediately drew a horrible bloody mark on the front of Wang Yang's body.

　　"ah!"

　　Feeling Zhou Yun's madness, Wang Yang was afraid for the first time. With a roar, Wang Yang punched out with both fists, barely forcing Zhou Yun to retreat, and a distance between them was put.

　　Wow!

　　The fighting just now was too fast, and many spectators could not see clearly what happened on the stage. They only saw two figures entangled with each other. Now that Zhou Yun and Wang Yang had retreated from each other, their situation immediately became clear to all spectators.

　　In an instant, there was a sound of people sucking in their breaths of cold air in the training ground, mixed with a few sneers.

　　At this moment, the two people on the ring could be described as beggars. Zhou Yun's clothes were tattered and almost turned into rags, his hair was all disheveled, and his body was covered in blood. However, Zhou Yun's eyes were clear and bright. He stared at Wang Yang calmly, ready to continue attacking at any time.

　　Wang Yang was not much better off than Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun grabbed his shirt twice, one horizontally and one vertically, and the collar was completely torn. His pants were torn in several places. Although his hair was not completely disheveled, it had already lost its shape and looked even more messy.

　　Although the two men looked similar in appearance, Zhou Yun's image did not look awkward at all, but rather had a touch of wildness. Wang Yang, with his tattered clothes and disheveled hair, looked so funny that the scattered laughter on the stage was directed to him.

　　As if he could vaguely hear laughter from the stands, Wang Yang inadvertently raised his hand to tighten his clothes on his chest. Seeing Wang Yang make this move, Zhou Yun sighed silently in his heart.

　　This is how a nobleman is. Even at the critical moment of a life-and-death battle, he still cares about his image. In Zhou Yun's opinion, Wang Yang is no longer a threat to him.

　　"ha!"

　　With a sudden loud shout, Zhou Yun's aura suddenly increased by another three points. With a pair of eyes like a tiger, Zhou Yun strode towards Wang Yang.

　　Feeling Zhou Yun's majestic aura, Wang Yang's own aura had weakened by three points, and the tattered clothes on his body made Wang Yang feel even more uncomfortable.

　　"The tiger is out of the cage!" Zhou Yun had already pounced close. He gathered all his strength in his palms and hit Wang Yang's chest fiercely.

　　In a hurry, Wang Yang could only subconsciously stretch out his hand to block. Facing Zhou Yun's full-strength attack, how could Wang Yang's casual resistance be effective?

　　bump!

　　Snap!

　　There was a sound of collision, mixed with the sound of broken bones. Wang Yang was knocked flying by Zhou Yun and fell heavily to the ground.

　　"Ah! My hand! My hand!!!" Looking at Wang Yang, his forearms had been completely broken by Zhou Yun. Overwhelmed with pain, Wang Yang immediately began to roll on the ground in a humiliating manner, splashing up dust.

　　The winner had already been decided. The centurion in charge of the assessment looked at Wang Yang, who was rolling on the ground and crying, and waved his hands helplessly. Then, two soldiers immediately walked up and dragged Wang Yang away.

　　"Zhou Yunsheng!"

　　Now Zhou Yun was the only one standing on the stage. He was naturally the final winner of today's assessment. A hint of admiration flashed in the centurion's eyes, and he announced it loudly.

　　"good!!!"

　　As soon as the centurion rank was announced, the entire parade ground immediately fell into extreme jubilation, and for a while, the cheers of "Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun" continued.

　　All the battles were over, and the black-armored generals on the main stand nodded silently.

　　"Smart boy." Muttering silently, the black-armored general also stood up.

　　As his body stood upright, the black-armored general's aura immediately became majestic.

　　"I declare!"

　　The resounding voice was heard, and the entire training ground immediately fell silent. After hearing this, the examinees below quickly gathered their attention and lined up according to their rankings below the main stage.

　　"The results of this martial arts examination have all been decided. A total of 113 candidates have passed the basic examination and can become the reserve army of the Tianyuan Dynasty. At the same time, ten martial arts candidates have been selected and can become reserve officers of the Tianyuan Dynasty. The first place in this examination is won by Zhou Yun, who can get a place in the Jingji Shenwei Training Camp. All candidates who have passed the examination will go to the main stage in turn to receive the certificate of passing the examination and the transfer order, and report to their designated military camps after three months!"

　　Glancing majestically at the examinees who had gathered and lined up again below, the black-armored general completed his announcement.

　　At the same time, a table was quickly brought over by several soldiers. The centurion in charge of the assessment was already sitting there, and the soldiers in the back were holding a lot of document-like things and waiting there.

　　"Zhou Yun!" Looking straight ahead, the centurion spoke in a steady voice.

　　"Here!" Hearing the centurion's call, Zhou Yun immediately stood at attention, took two steps forward and stood in front of the table.

　　He took a silk roll from the sergeant behind him and handed it to Zhou Yun. "Zhou Yun, this is your test score book and the reward silver, as well as the admission certificate for the Shenwei training camp in March. You must register for the Shenwei training camp in Xishan, Beijing on time in March."

　　"Yes, sir." Zhou Yun bowed and took the silk roll, nodding in response.

　　A simple roll of silk cloth seemed so heavy in Zhou Yun's hand. Zhou Yun knew that this was his first step towards his ideal!

　　"Wang Yang!" After taking the silk roll, Zhou Yun turned and left. The centurion immediately called out the name of Wang Yang, who ranked second in the assessment.

　　At this time, Wang Yang had already been dragged away for treatment, so he naturally could not come. A servant of the Wang family collected his report card on his behalf.

　　"Notify student Wang Yang to report to the Viper Army in the South China Sea in March!"

　　"Understood." After taking Wang Yang's report card, the servant of the Wang family responded respectfully and turned away.

　　Turning around, the Wang family servant gave Zhou Yun a vicious look, then quickly retreated.

　　Zhou Yun had long since ignored the resentful look from the servant. This was something Zhou Yun had anticipated. Ever since he got the first place in the morning assessment, this resentment has been with him. This time, winning the first place in the martial arts exam only made the resentment even more intense.

　　"Zhou Yun! You are so strong. You really avenged our Menghu Martial Hall!" At this time, Wang Shihang and others also ran over and surrounded Zhou Yun.

　　After the first battle, Zhou Yun had undoubtedly become their backbone.

　　"Thank you, everyone." Although he and the students of the Tiger Martial Arts Hall would not be in the same military camp after the transfer order came down this time, these people could become his helpers in the future. Zhou Yun opened his silk bag and took out the silver reward from it. "Shihang, take this money and distribute it to the injured students to help them get through this difficult time. At least let them recover from their injuries as soon as possible so that they can catch up and report to the military camp in three months."

　　"Well, I thank you on behalf of everyone. If you have any instructions in the future, just tell me. We will never refuse any poor kid who graduated from the Tiger Martial Arts Hall." Wang Shihang spoke emotionally after taking the silver handed over by Zhou Yun.

　　"Yes, we will never refuse!" They nodded heavily together, and some other poor children around them also spoke out.

　　Zhou Yun bowed to everyone and said, "I have noted down what everyone said. It is not easy for us to come out of the Tiger Martial Arts Hall. We should support each other in the future. I still have a lot of things to arrange, so I will leave first."

　　"Zhou Yun, we are going to Yandang Mountain in three days. Will you come with us?" Seeing Zhou Yun about to turn around, Chen Nan immediately asked.

　　The appointment to go to Yandang Mountain for training was already agreed upon when the assessment was completed in the morning. Naturally, Chen Nan wanted to find Zhou Yun to confirm it at this time.

　　Looking at Chen Nan, Xie Xiaofeng and others in front of him, Zhou Yun frowned slightly and shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work this time. I have offended too many noble disciples. They will definitely be against me during this period of time. If you stay with me, it will definitely implicate you. So don't go with me. Be careful."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Chen Nan and others frowned. It was obvious that Zhou Yun's words reminded them.

　　"Okay, then you be careful. Although we don't have much ability, if you need us to do anything, remember, we are not afraid of anything." After thinking for a moment, Chen Nan and others also understood Zhou Yun's good intentions, so they naturally didn't say anything more. They could only ask Zhou Yun to be careful. At the same time, they swore to Zhou Yun.

　　"Got it." Nodding, Zhou Yun bowed to everyone again, turned and left.

　　Chapter 22 Consultation

　　After bidding farewell to all the students of the Tiger Martial Arts Hall, Zhou Yun went straight to the stands and came to Li Yi.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun coming, Li Yi stood up early to greet him.

　　Zhou Yun still had many wounds and bloodstains on his body, but Li Yi didn't care at all. He gave Zhou Yun a hug and said, "Good boy, well done!"

　　Li Yi's cultivation was also good, and the strength of this hug was also very great, which made Zhou Yun's wounds a little painful, but Zhou Yun didn't care about the pain at all. Raising his arm, Zhou Yun also patted Li Yi hard.

　　"Let's go. This is not the place to talk. You've caused quite a mess today. We need to find a way to resolve it." The atmosphere on the training ground was still very lively. Amid the noisy cheers, many people were still shouting Zhou Yun's name. Li Yi quickly spoke after letting Zhou Yun go.

　　"Yeah." Nodding, Zhou Yun followed behind Li Yi, bowed to the audience around who were still cheering enthusiastically, and left quickly.

　　At the back door of the training ground, the Li family's carriage had already been waiting there. When the driver saw Li Yi and Zhou Yun coming, he immediately opened the door. The two got in the carriage, and the carriage immediately drove away.

　　New clothes and some medicines for healing have been prepared in the carriage.

　　The clothes on his body had become rags, and Li Yi began to help Zhou Yun clean the wound.

　　After wiping the wound with a gauze soaked in water, Li Yi immediately said in surprise, "Zhou Yun, most of your wounds have already scabbed over. How did you recover so quickly?"

　　Zhou Yun's wounds were covered with a layer of blood, and the specific injuries were not clear at first. After wiping them with a gauze scarf, the blood on the outside disappeared, and the condition of Zhou Yun's wounds immediately became clear.

　　These wounds were caused by the fight in the ring just now. Li Yi was very sure that it would take Zhou Yun at least a week to recover. However, he did not expect that most of Zhou Yun's wounds had scabbed over in just a few moments.

　　"Really?" As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, Zhou Yun was also a little surprised. He wiped the wound on his right shoulder with a gauze scarf. Zhou Yun immediately saw several new wounds. As Li Yi said, these wounds had actually begun to scab over, and the pain was slowly fading.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun actually felt that his physical condition had recovered a lot, and his condition was not bad at all.

　　"How could this happen? Is it because the effect of the Body Tempering Pill has not worn off yet?" Zhou Yun had a hint of doubt on his face, and he was thinking silently in his mind, "Could it be because of the effect of that small piece?"

　　For a moment, Zhou Yun felt a shock in his heart.

　　During the break of the assessment at noon, Zhou Yun had studied the small piece. After holding it in his hand for just a short time, Zhou Yun was sucked into a strange world, and found himself in a mysterious place as if the world was just created. Not only did his injuries from the morning heal quickly, but his cultivation level also improved in a short period of time.

　　However, because the afternoon test was about to begin, Zhou Yun did not think about it carefully, but when he thought about it later, Zhou Yun had already noticed the difference in this small piece.

　　"Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun!?" Just as Zhou Yun fell into deep thought, Li Yi's voice came again.

　　"Hmm?" Zhou Yun immediately came to his senses after his thoughts were interrupted by Li Yi.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun, Li Yi's expression was somewhat solemn. "Zhou Yun, what did you get from the treasure box of General Shenwei?"

　　"It's nothing, just a set of boxing secrets for strengthening the muscles." His face had returned to normal and Zhou Yun spoke calmly.

　　That small piece was obviously not simple, and Zhou Yun was not going to reveal too much about it. The thing in the treasure box of General Shenwei was indeed a secret book, and Zhou Yun did not hide it.

　　Zhou Yun obviously didn't want to elaborate, and Li Yi didn't ask any more questions. He was different from the other noble children. Because of his relationship with Zhou Xue, he and Zhou Yun were just partners in the same trench, so he naturally wouldn't covet any treasures that Zhou Yun had obtained.

　　"Although the assessment has been completed, you still have a lot of things to do next. What are your plans?" Zhou Yun's injuries were much lighter than he expected. Li Yi did not wait for Zhou Yun to rest and recover, and started discussing the next steps with Zhou Yun directly.

　　After thinking for a while, Zhou Yun said, "It is necessary to set up a household on your own. I can't stay in the Qin family any longer, otherwise I will be restricted in every way in the future. However, the reward I just received has been distributed to the students in the Tiger Martial Arts Hall. I am afraid I will have to borrow the money needed to set up a household from you first."

　　"What's the matter with lending or not? We will be a family in the future, and my money is yours too." Waving his hand, Li Yi spoke proudly.

　　"It's different. After all, my sister hasn't married into your family yet. Even if she did, she would still be a member of your family. She can't just give me money casually. We still have to keep the accounts between us clear." Zhou Yun said solemnly with a serious face.

　　Zhou Yun was taught by his parents that he must behave properly and not take advantage of others. Moreover, if he started to take advantage of Li Yi's money by relying on his sister's relationship, his sister Zhou Xue would inevitably be looked down upon in the future. Zhou Yun had to take these things into consideration.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's determined expression, Li Yi didn't say anything more.

　　"Okay, then it's settled. I'll give you 500 taels of silver first, which should be enough for you to settle down." After looking at Zhou Yun with appreciation, Li Yi said, "You injured a lot of noble descendants in this arena assessment. The most important thing is that you made a breakthrough during the interval of the assessment. Now these nobles in Heyang City are probably eyeing the treasure box in your hand. I'm afraid you will be in danger for some time to come. What are you going to do?"

　　"After setting up the household, I plan to go out and gain some experience and avoid the limelight. If possible, I plan to leave overnight. If I stay here for a long time, it will not be good for my cultivation and it may also implicate my sister. The things are with me. I am not in Heyang. I believe those nobles will not do anything to my sister. If they make any moves, you must protect my sister well and notify me as soon as possible." Zhou Yun said after a little thought.

　　Zhou Yun had already planned for these things. Even if there were no such things in the arena assessment, Zhou Yun was still prepared to go out and gain experience alone. After fifteen years in the Qin family, Zhou Yun had long wanted to go out and see the outside world.

　　Originally, Zhou Yun was planning to go to Yandang Mountain for training with Xie Xiaofeng and others. But now that this has happened, he has to make new plans. However, his idea of ​​going out for training will not change.

　　"Don't worry about Xiaoxue's safety. Although my Li family doesn't have any military commanders, we are the largest family in Heyang after all. Those villains dare not make any moves." After making this promise, Li Yi asked, "How can I contact you after you get out?"

　　"If you want to contact me, just explain the situation clearly and send it to this place urgently." Zhou Yun took the paper and pen from the carriage and quickly wrote down an address.

　　"Jingji? Do you have friends in Jingji?" Seeing that the address Zhou Yun wrote on the paper turned out to be a restaurant in the capital of Tianyuan Dynasty, Li Yi immediately asked in surprise.

　　The capital of the Tianyuan Dynasty was two thousand miles away from Heyang, and it was extremely difficult to make a trip there. Even he had only been there once with his father when the emperor held a banquet for nobles from all over the world on his fiftieth birthday. At that time, Li Yi was only nine years old, and he could not remember many things clearly. He only remembered that Jingji was a magnificent city that could not be surpassed.

　　And Zhou Yun has hardly left the Qin family in the past decade. How could he have friends in the capital?

　　"It's just an address. When there is an emergency, you can send the letter to this address and I will naturally get the news." Zhou Yun said calmly.

　　This address is naturally the address where he has communicated with Lin Junyao over the years, and it is the only address. Lin Junyao once said that only Zhou Yun knows this address, and any information coming from here must be related to Zhou Yun.

　　This has also been the most important channel of communication between the two over the years. This time when Zhou Yun goes out for training, he will definitely tell Lin Junyao about his changes in location at any time. If there is anything important at that time, as long as Li Yi sends the letter to this address and lets Lin Junyao know, Zhou Yun will definitely be able to get the news from Lin Junyao.

　　"Okay, I'll keep this address." After putting away the note Zhou Yun gave him, Li Yi responded silently.

　　After today's assessment, Zhou Yun seemed to have become a completely different person, as if he had broken some kind of restriction. Many of Zhou Yun's edges and secrets were revealed at this time.

　　The carriage continued to move forward and had entered Heyang City. Zhou Yun lifted the curtain and looked outside. He said, "I have to go back to the Qin family first to pick up my sister. I'll leave the house for you to set up."

　　"Well, I've already chosen it. It's right next to my mansion, so it will be convenient for me to take care of Xiaoxue. I'll send someone to pick you up at the intersection of the main road near my home." Li Yi had already prepared for these things.

　　"Okay, then I'll get off here." Zhou Yun said, casually putting on the clothes that Li Yi brought.

　　"Okay, be careful." Nodding, Li Yi signaled the coachman to drive the carriage into an inconspicuous alley.

　　In the alley, Zhou Yun jumped out of the car and walked quickly. After a few breaths, Zhou Yun had disappeared in the crowd.

　　"Let's go." After watching Zhou Yun leave, Li Yi waved his hand, signaling the coachman to drive.

　　As Zhou Yun hurried home, there was a depressing atmosphere in the mansion of the Han family, a prominent family in Heyang City.

　　In the main hall of the Han family, a burly man was sitting there, his face as sullen as water. This man was about 40 years old, with eagle eyebrows and tiger eyes, and he was intimidating without being angry. A quick glance could sense the ruthless aura of this middle-aged man.

　　It was obvious that this was a ruthless person who had seen a lot of blood and killed many people. The people sitting below also all had gloomy and fierce looks, but at this moment they were all silent and dared not say a word.

　　A moment later, a man who looked like a medical officer walked out from the backstage.

　　"Doctor Hu, what's the situation?" Seeing the doctor come out, the man sitting in the first seat asked hurriedly. This man also had a bandit-like face, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to the man sitting in the main seat.

　　Looking at the room full of bandit-like people, the medical officer also felt a little nervous. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke slowly, "Second Master Han, the eldest master's injuries are very serious. His heart meridian is damaged. Although his life is not in danger, I am afraid he can no longer continue to practice martial arts in the future."

　　Click!

　　As soon as the medical officer said this, the man sitting in the main seat immediately increased the strength of his right hand, and the sturdy wooden armrest of the chair was actually crushed into pieces!

　　"If we don't avenge this, how can our Han family survive in Heyang City!" The man in the main seat suddenly spoke with a gloomy face that became even more ruthless!

　　Chapter 23 Blockage

　　"This Zhou Yun, a mere servant, a person like an ant, actually dares to be so arrogant!"

　　"It seems that our Han family has been too low-key over the years, and no one remembers our former glory!"

　　"I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge for this!"

　　As soon as the middle-aged man at the main seat finished speaking, the people below all started to make a commotion, slamming the table and glaring, as if they were about to rush to the Qin family and tear Zhou Yun into pieces.

　　The Han family was born of bandits, and they were engaged in shady business, and they were all murderers. The clamor frightened the medical officer so much that he trembled, his face turned pale, and cold sweat immediately dripped from his forehead.

　　"Doctor Hu, you go down first. Let Wang Er take you to the accounting office to get some silver." Waving his hand to stop the people around from talking, the man sitting in the first seat at the bottom spoke.

　　"Thank you, Second Master!" Doctor Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead, thanked him repeatedly and quickly retreated.

　　As soon as Doctor Hu left, a man sitting below immediately stood up and said, "Master, tell me how you want Zhou Yun to die. I will do it for you today!"

　　“We can’t be so reckless. Even though Zhou Yun’s life was worthless, he was the first place winner of the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination this time, and he was also recruited into the Shenwei Training Camp. If we act rashly, even if we kill Zhou Yun, it will be equivalent to offending General Shenwei, and I’m afraid our Han family will be doomed.” Unlike the men around him, the second master of the Han family had some brains.

　　As soon as the words came out, the people around him immediately fell silent.

　　The status of soldiers in the Tianyuan Dynasty is very high. Since there are border threats on all four sides, the entire country relies on soldiers for defense. Even if some soldiers do not have high cultivation, their status is definitely not low.

　　Even if it was a candidate who passed the martial arts examination, although he was only a reserve, he could not be killed casually. Not to mention Zhou Yun, who was the first in the martial arts examination. What's more, Zhou Yun was recruited into the Shenwei training camp set up by General Shenwei.

　　The Shenwei Training Camp trained the backbone officers of the future Tianyuan Dynasty. If one of them died, the impact would be too great. If it was discovered, the Han family would be doomed.

　　"Well, we have to avenge this." After a moment's silence, a man finally spoke cautiously.

　　"Revenge must be taken, but it must not be made public. Moreover, in addition to revenge, we also want to get something else." The second master of the Han family narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly.

　　As soon as the words fell, the eyes of everyone in the hall lit up, as if they had thought of something at the same time.

　　At this moment, there are far more people who want to deal with Zhou Yun than just the Han family. The noble families whose children were injured by Zhou Yun in the fight this time will probably keep their eyes on Zhou Yun. At this time, Zhou Yun has quietly returned to the Qin family.

　　Although Zhou Yun is now the first place in the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination and a student of the Shenwei Training Camp, these things cannot completely protect him.

　　Although those who want to harm him will not do it openly, they can't defend against the hidden arrows from behind. Zhou Yun understands all these things, so he must prepare early.

　　Zhou Yun jogged all the way and quickly returned to his yard.

　　Zhou Yun pushed the door open with a creak and immediately saw Zhou Xue waiting in the yard.

　　"Xiao Yun!" Although she did not go out, Zhou Xue stood in the yard waiting for Zhou Yun for the whole day. Although she usually looked calm and did not want to put any pressure on Zhou Yun, Zhou Xue was very eager to leave the Qin family and get rid of the shackles of this foreign servant.

　　Although she hoped that Zhou Yun would have good grades, Zhou Xue hoped that Zhou Yun would be safe and not get hurt. When she saw Zhou Yun coming in, Zhou Xue immediately showed a happy smile on her face.

　　"Sister, I'm back!" Zhou Yun was moved when he saw Zhou Xue. Although today's assessment went smoothly, when he saw Zhou Xue, Zhou Yun still had a feeling of surviving a disaster.

　　Zhou Xue and Lin Junyao are the two most important women in his life.

　　"Sister, I passed the exam and ranked first in the Heyang City martial arts examination. I can also join the Shenwei training camp. We can leave here immediately!" Holding his sister's shoulders, Zhou Yun spoke happily.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun running to her quickly, tears gradually appeared in Zhou Xue's beautiful eyes. Her fair little hands gently stroked Zhou Yun's face. Zhou Xue asked distressedly, "Are you hurt?"

　　In Zhou Xue's opinion, it would be great if Zhou Yun could pass the exam, but it didn't matter if he failed. The most important thing was to be safe and not get hurt.

　　Shaking his head vigorously, Zhou Yun said with a smile, "No, I am not injured at all. Don't worry, sister. Those spoiled young masters from noble families are no match for me."

　　"Yeah." The tears in her eyes finally flowed down and Zhou Xue nodded.

　　"Sister, let's go. I got the first place in the military examination and was admitted to the Shenwei Training Camp, which is the best military officer training camp in the Tianyuan Dynasty. Now I don't have to wait until I have made military achievements to register my household directly. Let's move out today." Thinking of the purpose of his return this time, Zhou Yun immediately grabbed Zhou Xue's hand and turned around to leave.

　　"Xiao Yun, don't worry, we still have things to pack!" Zhou Xue was weak, and when Zhou Yun pulled her, she followed Zhou Yun's movements and walked out. When she remembered that she hadn't taken anything yet, Zhou Xue immediately spoke anxiously.

　　Zhou Yun didn't want to stay here any longer. Without stopping, he said, "There's nothing worth taking here. We'll have better clothes and furniture in the future. Let's go!"

　　Zhou Xue was weak and had no other options, so she was pulled out by Zhou Yun in a few seconds. Seeing Zhou Yun so happy, Zhou Xue didn't want to spoil her brother's fun.

　　"Xiao Yun, Xiao Xue, are you leaving?" Seeing Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue walking out together, some old neighbors who had lived with them for many years started asking.

　　"Yes, uncles and aunts, I have passed the military examination and can leave the Qin family now. Thank you for your care over the years." When Zhou Yun met these old neighbors who had taken care of him and his sister for many years, he stopped and bowed to express his gratitude.

　　"Xiao Yun, you are really amazing. You should work hard in the army. It is our honor to have someone like you in our courtyard."

　　"Yes, work hard and strive to become a general!"

　　Letting go of Zhou Xue's hand, Zhou Yun bowed and thanked the old neighbors around him repeatedly.

　　After some courtesy, Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue finally walked out of the large courtyard where the Qin family's servants lived and came to the back door of the Qin family.

　　Now, as long as Zhou Yun steps out of this door, he will have nothing to do with the Qin family anymore.

　　"Zhou Yun, are you in such a hurry to leave?" Just as Zhou Yun was about to step out of the back door, a somewhat charming voice suddenly rang out.

　　Turning around, a beautiful woman in red immediately appeared in Zhou Yun's sight. It was Qin Lan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family. In addition to Qin Lan, Zhao Guang, who was dressed in tight clothes, was also standing beside him, looking at Zhou Xue behind Zhou Yun with burning eyes.

　　"Hello, Miss." Qin Lan came out to speak, so Zhou Yun naturally couldn't leave immediately. He let go of Zhou Xue's hand, bowed slightly and clasped his fists.

　　"How dare you! You don't even kneel when you see the host. Do you have any etiquette in your eyes?" Zhao Guang immediately scolded Zhou Yun when he saw that he was just performing a simple salute.

　　With a shout, Zhao Guang's aura burst out. Faced with such a situation, Qin Lan said nothing, but just watched quietly with a smile on her face.

　　His face turned a little cold, and Zhou Yun said calmly, "Mr. Zhao, I am now a martial arts candidate in Heyang City, and I am the first in the martial arts exam. The Qin family is no longer my master, so there is no need to kneel down and worship."

　　After Zhou Yun's rebuttal, Zhao Guang had nothing to say. After all, it was already known that Zhou Yun had passed the military examination. Zhou Yun was probably still carrying today's transcript of his grades, so this question would probably not stump him.

　　Qin Lan glanced at Zhou Yun's finger and smiled, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? After all, you are from my Qin family. It's only right for you to say hello to the host family before leaving."

　　Although Qin Lan's eyes moved quickly, Zhou Yun also caught a glimpse of greed in Qin Lan's eyes. "Miss, didn't the head of the family start seclusion a few months ago? I'm afraid he won't come out in the next month. Everything in the Qin family is now under your control. I'm saying goodbye to you here. I will come to thank you after the head of the family comes out." With a slight smile, Zhou Yun bowed again.

　　Many people in the Qin family knew that the old man was in seclusion, and Zhou Yun naturally knew it as well.

　　With that said, Qin Lan had no reason to force Zhou Yun to stay. After silently looking at Zhou Yun, Qin Lan was about to speak to allow Zhou Yun to leave, but Zhao Guang on the side shouted first.

　　"You, a slave, are so ignorant of etiquette. The Qin family treats you well. As an outside servant, you are sent to the Tiger Martial Hall by the Qin family. This is a great favor. Before you leave, you should kneel in the Qin family's ancestral hall to show your gratitude! If you don't go, I will teach you a lesson today on behalf of the Qin family."

　　After Zhao Guang shouted, Qin Lan immediately swallowed her words. In fact, she didn't want to offend Zhou Yun too much. After all, although the Qin family didn't take care of Zhou Yun much, they still had some kindness. Originally, she thought that if Zhou Yun's cultivation level gradually improved, it would be good for him to be a guard in the future, so she sent him to the Tiger Martial Hall.

　　However, they didn't expect that Zhou Yun's cultivation level improved much faster than they thought, and before they knew it, he had already passed the martial arts exam and got first place!

　　Although letting Zhou Yun go now, maybe he could still get some help and care from the two second-generation heirs of the Qin family in the army, but Qin Lan was really jealous of the treasure box of the mighty general that Zhou Yun got.

　　Wanting to get the treasure box, but not wanting to offend Zhou Yun too much. Seeing Zhao Guang coming forward, Qin Lan was naturally happy to watch the show. Without saying anything, Qin Lan silently stepped back, leaving only Zhou Yun and Zhao Guang in the field.

　　Chapter 24: Going Out for Training

　　"Mr. Zhao, the affairs between me and the Qin family seem to have nothing to do with you. If you are trying to stop me maliciously, I can only be disrespectful to you." Looking at Zhao Guang coldly, Zhou Yun spoke, but the fist hidden behind his back had already clenched quietly.

　　"Xiao Yun." Seeing Zhou Yun's appearance, Zhou Xue immediately became worried.

　　"Sister, don't worry." Turning back slightly, Zhou Yun comforted Zhou Xue.

　　At this time, Zhao Guang had already taken a step forward and said arrogantly, "I want to see how you can be rude to me!"

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Guang shrank his body and immediately entered a fighting state. He rushed forward suddenly, and a fist suddenly shot out from his chest and hit Zhou Yun in the face.

　　This Kung Fu is the Zhao family's unique skill, the Spirit Leopard Fist.

　　This Spirit Leopard Fist is also a good Kung Fu. If you keep practicing, you can even reach the level of an innate martial artist. But Zhao Guang is just a beginner.

　　The Spirit Leopard Fist is flexible and fast, but it does not have an advantage in strength.

　　Seeing Zhao Guang's actions, Zhou Yun did not give in at all. He took a deep breath, and his chest and abdomen swelled up immediately. He stepped on the ground with both feet, as steady as a rock, and suddenly punched out with his right fist!

　　boom!

　　Zhou Yun's punch collided directly with Zhao Guang's fist, and suddenly a strong wind blew past both of them.

　　After the sound of the collision, Zhou Yun only took a half step back, but Zhao Guang took five or six steps back before he could stand firm. And Zhao Guang could see that Zhou Yun was obviously holding back.

　　"Don't act unreasonably. Even if you are from a noble family, I will never show mercy. I have already offended many nobles, so I don't mind adding one more!" After leaving these words, Zhou Yun bowed to Qin Lan and said goodbye. He turned around and took Zhou Xue away from the Qin family.

　　After standing back and taking a few deep breaths, Zhao Guang finally came to his senses a little.

　　"Second Young Master, are you okay?" At this time, some of the Zhao family's subordinates gathered around. The level of cultivation displayed by Zhou Yun's attack just now had already stunned them. Even the warrior-level warrior who had reached the middle stage of bone training did not dare to step forward immediately.

　　Knowing that he had lost face, Zhao Guang immediately became furious, "You idiots, why don't you chase him! Go chase him and bring him back to me!"

　　"Yes!" Seeing their master getting angry, the servants immediately wanted to chase after him.

　　"Don't go!" Qin Lan had already started talking as she took a step. "He is now a martial arts candidate and a student of the Shenwei Training Camp. If you catch him on the street and the army finds out, no one can protect him."

　　After Qin Lan said this, Zhao Guang finally came to his senses and stopped instructing his men to capture Zhou Yun. However, Zhao Guang's eyes were filled with resentment and jealousy.

　　In just one day, Zhou Yun's cultivation has improved so much. If someone says that this has nothing to do with the treasure box of General Shenwei, even a fool would not believe it. At this moment, Zhao Guang has made a decision in his heart that he will definitely take the treasure box in Zhou Yun's hand into his own hands.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue had already left the Qin family and were walking on the streets of Heyang City. It was already completely dark and there were not many people on the streets. In addition, Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue were walking along the road very low-key, so no one recognized Zhou Yun as the first place in this year's Heyang City Martial Arts Examination.

　　"Xiaotian, don't be so impulsive in the future. If you suffer a little injustice, just bear it and it will pass. If you offend the descendants of nobles, I'm afraid they will do bad things to you in the future." While walking, Zhou Xue began to whisper in Zhou Yun's ear again. Although there was no intention of blaming her, her words were full of concern.

　　"It's okay. I have offended many nobles in today's ring battle. After sending my sister to her new home today, I'm afraid I will have to leave overnight." With a slight smile, Zhou Yun comforted Zhou Xue.

　　"Overnight? Why are you in such a hurry?" Upon hearing that Zhou Yun was leaving overnight, Zhou Xue immediately cried out in surprise.

　　"Time is too tight now. I can't wait any longer. It's really inconvenient to practice at home. I must go out and gain experience alone. Besides, I have offended a lot of people this time, so I must stay out of the spotlight. I will be safe once I enter the Shenwei Training Camp." Zhou Yun said with a low voice.

　　Although Zhou Xue didn't know much about the Shenwei Training Camp, she had heard of it. It was said to be the best military officer training camp in the Tianyuan Dynasty. Given the status of military officers and sergeants in the Tianyuan Dynasty, once Zhou Yun entered there, he should be safe.

　　"Xiao Yun, I'm not that anxious, don't make it hard on yourself." Hearing Zhou Yun say that time was tight, Zhou Xue thought that Zhou Yun wanted to make some achievements as soon as possible so that she could be crowned a noble and marry into the Li family. With a hint of shyness, Zhou Xue lowered her head and spoke.

　　Looking at his sister's shy expression, Zhou Yun also showed a happy smile on his face, "It's not all because of this, I also have things I want to do."

　　Judging from his words, Zhou Yun’s decision to leave overnight was irreversible. “If you want to go for training, be careful on the road.” Holding Zhou Yun’s hand, Zhou Xue said softly.

　　"I will." Zhou Yun shook Zhou Xue's hand vigorously. He looked up and saw two servants from the Li family waiting at the intersection.

　　Knowing that this was the person sent by Li Yi to pick them up, Zhou Yun took Zhou Xue and walked straight over.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue coming over, the two people standing at the intersection immediately came forward and said, "Master Zhou Yun, hello. My master sent me to pick you and Miss Zhou Xue up."

　　"I'm not a young master, you're welcome, thank you for your help." This was the first time Zhou Yun was called a young master in his life, and he was a little uncomfortable. Waving his hand, Zhou Yun replied while motioning for them to lead the way.

　　Nodding politely to Zhou Yun, one of them said, "Please follow me."

　　"Sister, let's go." Turning around and pulling Zhou Xue up, Zhou Yun followed the two servants and walked towards the Li family mansion.

　　There was only one noble family on the street where the Li family's mansion was located, and that was the aristocratic Li family. In Heyang, the Li family had a higher status than other nobles, and the street they were in was naturally the same.

　　The Li family's mansion occupies half of this street. In addition to some shops belonging to the Li family, the rest of the space is occupied by some independent courtyards of civilians. Most of the civilians living in these courtyards are people who work for the Li family.

　　Therefore, it was not difficult for Li Yi to find a yard on this street. Moreover, Zhou Xue would be safe living here for a period of time in the future.

　　When he reached a position close to the center of the street, Zhou Yun immediately saw Li Yi, and Li Yi also came forward immediately.

　　"Zhou Yun, Xiaoxue!" Li Yi took a few quick steps and called out directly.

　　Patting Zhou Yun on the shoulder, Li Yi stood directly in front of Zhou Xue. Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Li Yi's chest heaved with excitement.

　　After three years, the day finally came when Zhou Xue left the Qin family.

　　At this time, Zhou Xue was also looking at Li Yi quietly. Although Zhou Xue was gentle and reserved by nature and would not express her love to men, Zhou Yun also knew that her sister was satisfied with Li Yi and cherished him.

　　This is also an example of a person of low status being with a person of high status. Zhou Yun knew that after today, there would be no ties between Li Yi and his sister, but what about himself and Jun Yao?

　　Feeling the happiness on the faces of his sister and Li Yi, Zhou Yun couldn't help but begin to fantasize that one day he and Lin Junyao would be able to be together happily without having to avoid any external forces.

　　To achieve all this, Zhou Yun needs to work harder than he is now.

　　"Sister, I will leave right now. If I delay, something bad may happen. Li Yi, you must take good care of my sister. Sister, your wedding will be held after I come back. I will make it a grand wedding for you." Thinking of Lin Junyao in his heart, Zhou Yun felt that he could not stay here any longer. He calmed himself down and said to Li Yi and Zhou Xue.

　　"Xiao Yun, you must be careful." As soon as Zhou Yun said this, Zhou Xue no longer cared about Li Yi beside her. Now she has not married yet, so her brother is far more important than her future husband.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's resolute look, Li Yi didn't say anything more. Moreover, he was the first to know that Zhou Yun left overnight.

　　"Come on, I have prepared some things for you, you can use them when you go out." After speaking to Zhou Yun, Li Yi waved to Zhou Xue again. After taking two steps forward, Li Yi opened a small door of a courtyard on the street.

　　This courtyard is next to the Li family mansion. One side faces the street, and the other three sides are actually connected to the Li family mansion. In fact, this is a garden within a garden of the Li family.

　　With such a yard, Zhou Xue will definitely receive the full protection of the Li family when she lives here, so her safety will surely not be a problem.

　　The courtyard is not big. The first two courtyards are square spaces at the entrance. The second courtyard is a small garden, and the last courtyard has several houses.

　　Although it is not luxurious, it should be very comfortable to live in. It is much better than the place they lived in before in the Qin family.

　　"Zhou Yun, take this package. There are two sets of clothes, a dagger, some medicines, dry food and silver in it. Go out and gain experience on your own, and be careful on your way. If you plan to go directly to the Shenwei Training Camp after your experience, then you don't have to rush back. Xiaoxue and I will hold our wedding when you come out of the Shenwei Training Camp." There was already a small package on the small stone platform in the garden. Li Yi picked up the package, handed it to Zhou Yun, and spoke.

　　"Thank you." After taking the package, Zhou Yun nodded silently to express his gratitude.

　　Without saying much, Li Yi accepted Zhou Yun's thanks with a smile.

　　"Li Yi, sister, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourselves." After taking a deep look at Zhou Xue, Zhou Yun turned around resolutely. With a slight wave of his arm, the package entered Zhou Yun's space ring.

　　His body flew into the air, Zhou Yun jumped over the wall, hid in the darkness, and disappeared.

　　"Xiao Yun..." Zhou Xue whispered softly as she watched Zhou Yun leave, tears dripping down her face.

　　Chapter 25 Surprise

　　After climbing over the wall, Zhou Yun immediately slipped into a remote passage.

　　Having lived in Heyang City for so long, Zhou Yun knew all the secret passages clearly. After rolling on the muddy ground, Zhou Yun had turned into a refugee with messy hair and a little mud on his face, like a refugee in a hurry.

　　Thirty years after the founding of the Tianyuan Dynasty, although the people's livelihood has improved a lot, there are still many people suffering at the border or in some dangerous areas wandering around the dynasty. Zhou Yun's current dress is very ordinary, and it is night, so it will not attract the attention of people around him.

　　No one could have imagined that this ragged refugee walking out of the city was the first place winner of the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination just an hour ago!

　　About an incense stick of time after Zhou Yun left, several dark shadows had already scattered far away around the small courtyard that Li Yi had arranged for Zhou Yun and his sister, and began to monitor them from afar.

　　"Everyone, keep an eye on him here. If you find any movement of Zhou Yun, report it immediately!"

　　In several different locations, the leaders almost all told their subordinates the same thing at the same time. These people were naturally sent by the noble families whose descendants were injured by Zhou Yun, and some of them were simply plotting to get what Zhou Yun got from the treasure box of the Great General of Divine Power.

　　But they didn't know that Zhou Yun didn't even stay in the new yard for one more minute. After sending Zhou Xue there, Zhou Yun simply climbed over the wall and left quietly. He had already left the city at this moment.

　　After walking out of the gate of Heyang City, Zhou Yun did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he changed his position several times in succession, constantly lurking and observing.

　　Before leaving, Zhou Yun had to make sure that he was not being followed. If he found someone following him here, it was not far from the Heyang city gate, and shouting would definitely attract the city guards, so safety would not be a problem. But if he walked far away, that would be another matter.

　　Only after confirming that no one was following him did Zhou Yun quickly leave Heyang along the pedestrian path beside the official road and walk towards the southwest.

　　The territory of the Tianyuan Dynasty is extremely large, and there are many places for Zhou Yun to gain experience. While walking on the road, Zhou Yun had already decided where to go this time.

　　Although he went out for training secretly, with the means of the nobles in Heyang City, they would probably find out in a few days that he was no longer in the city, and by then they would definitely scatter to look for news of him.

　　Then it would be too unwise to train in the mountains and rivers near Heyang City.

　　Zhou Yun was not planning to go to the nearest Luoxia Mountain, nor did he want to go to the slightly farther Yandang Mountain. Instead, he was planning to go directly to the most majestic Black Dragon Mountain Range in the Tianyuan Dynasty!

　　The Black Dragon Mountains are named Black Dragon because the stones at the top of the mountain are pure black in color, and because the mountain range is extremely majestic, stretching for thousands of miles, extending from the northwestern border of the Tianyuan Dynasty to Jinyang Province, which is only 500 miles away from the capital.

　　Therefore, after leaving Heyang City, Zhou Yun did not go north, nor did he go south to Yandang Mountain, but turned back and headed northwest.

　　This time, Zhou Yun will go directly to the starting point of the Black Dragon Mountains, Nanyun City on the northwest border, and then move forward while training along the outer edge of the Black Dragon Mountains. After three months, it will be time to report to the Gyeonggi Shenwei Training Camp, and this crisis can be resolved.

　　The destination had been decided, and the next step was to walk steadily. At this time, stars were already shining in the night sky. Zhou Yun's chest and abdomen rose and fell slowly, and he took long breaths, while his feet jogged forward at a fixed frequency, with extremely light movements.

　　Zhou Yun also learned this pace from his interactions with lightning. His upper body leans forward slightly, and he feels lighter every time he inhales. When he exhales, the force of his feet on the ground will naturally increase, and the distance he moves will be longer.

　　This way of jogging is very energy-saving and very fast.

　　Continuing forward, Zhou Yun soon disappeared into the night.

　　At this time, in the back garden of the residence of Duke Pingnan in the capital of the Tianyuan Dynasty, a slender and beautiful woman was standing by the frozen lake, quietly looking up at the southern sky.

　　The woman was wearing a light pink dress, a long skirt, and her hair was like flowing clouds. There was a hint of longing and sadness between her eyebrows, which made people want to take good care of her at first sight.

　　This woman is none other than Lin Junyao, the daughter of Duke Pingnan, the woman Zhou Yun has always been thinking about.

　　"Today is the day of Heyang City's martial arts examination. I wonder how Zhou Yun is doing." Looking at the distant sky, Lin Junyao muttered silently.

　　Since being brought back from Heyang City by Lin Juntian seven days ago, there has been no smile on Lin Junyao's face. She has mostly looked sad, which is heartbreaking.

　　"Junyao, it's cold at night, go back early." Just as Lin Junyao was lost in thought, a gentle voice came from behind. Then, a young man in a blue brocade robe with an extraordinary temperament stood behind Lin Junyao.

　　On the brocade robe, a peacock flapped its wings as if ready to fly, looking extremely gorgeous. This man was none other than Lin Junyao’s brother, the Prince of Pingnan, Lin Juntian.

　　"I'm not sleepy yet. Brother, you go back first. I want to be alone." Without turning back, Lin Junyao spoke lightly.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's back, Lin Juntian sighed silently. He naturally knew that Lin Junyao was still angry with him in her heart. Since childhood, Lin Junyao has been very dependent on him, but after this incident, Lin Junyao's attitude towards him has changed greatly.

　　"Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up." Looking at his younger sister who was becoming more and more beautiful, Lin Juntian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

　　"Jun Yao, you don't have to worry too much. I've already taken care of the situation in Heyang City. As soon as the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination is over, the Hummingbird message will be delivered immediately. I'm afraid it will arrive soon. Then you will know the information about Zhou Yun, right?" Although he was not optimistic about the prospects of Zhou Yun and Lin Jun Yao, because of his sister, Lin Juntian still paid more attention to Zhou Yun.

　　After hearing Lin Juntian's words, Lin Junyao's calm expression finally changed. It was obvious that she was very happy to get news about Zhou Yun immediately, and her attitude towards Lin Juntian also loosened a little.

　　"Brother, do you think Zhou Yun can pass the military examination?" Turning around, Lin Junyao spoke expectantly.

　　Nodding, Lin Juntian said, "It should be no problem. I also sent people to inquire about the information of the noble children who participated in the martial arts examination in Heyang City this year. With Zhou Yun's cultivation, he could have entered the top ten before he was injured. Although he was slightly injured by me later, with the blood coagulation pill, his cultivation will probably increase instead of decrease, so it shouldn't be a problem."

　　The expression on her face softened a little, and Lin Junyao said softly, "Brother, thank you."

　　The reason why he thanked Lin Juntian was because of the Body Tempering Pill. One such pill was worth five hundred taels of gold. People at the Skin Refining Realm could improve their cultivation by taking it, while those with high cultivation could also strengthen their body and replenish their essence by taking it. In addition to these benefits, this Body Tempering Pill was also a healing medicine. If you were injured in battle, taking one pill could immediately suppress the injury.

　　Moreover, due to its scarce production, such pills are extremely precious, and even Lin Juntian does not have many of them.

　　Lin Junyao knew that although Zhou Yun was injured, Lin Juntian actually helped Zhou Yun in the end.

　　With a slight smile, Lin Juntian raised his hand and gently stroked his sister's long hair.

　　Puff puff puff!

　　At this moment, a small black shadow suddenly flew over from the distant sky at an extremely fast speed. It flew from hundreds of meters away to the front in the blink of an eye.

　　"There's news about Zhou Yun." Seeing the black shadow, Lin Juntian's eyes immediately lit up.

　　He quickly raised his arm, and suddenly, a pure black bird had landed on the back of Lin Juntian's hand. This bird was only the size of a sparrow, but its body was longer and narrower, with a graceful figure, and its feathers were extremely soft and smooth, so light that it seemed to have no weight.

　　This little bird is the hummingbird raised by the nobles of the Tianyuan Dynasty. It is psychic and very fast. It can fly six hundred miles in half an hour. Its disadvantage is that it is extremely difficult to raise, and six hundred miles is the limit for it to fly each time.

　　The people in Heyang City had already been told that as soon as the news of the assessment came out, they had to report it immediately. Although Heyang City was 2,000 miles away from the capital, the hummingbirds were changed twice on the way, and in two hours, the urgent news had been sent from Heyang to the capital.

　　"Brother, quickly take a look at Zhou Yun's grades." Being from the Duke's family, Lin Junyao was naturally very familiar with hummingbirds. Hearing Lin Juntian's words, Lin Junyao immediately spoke anxiously.

　　After untying the silk thread tied to the hummingbird's legs, Lin Juntian took out a small piece of paper.

　　It was carefully unfolded, and Lin Juntian and Lin Junyao, who had already gathered nearby, started watching together.

　　"Zhou Yun, the first place winner of the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination, won the Shenwei General's Treasure Box and was selected to enter the Shenwei Training Camp!"

　　The information on the note was very simple, with only three lines of words, but these three lines of words were so dazzling in Lin Junyao's eyes!

　　"Brother, that's great. Zhou Yun got the first place in the martial arts exam! And he was admitted to the Shenwei Training Camp. That's the Shenwei Training Camp. He will train there for half a year and will be a reserve commander directly after graduation!" Although she is a woman and has not practiced martial arts, Lin Junyao knows a lot about the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　As soon as she saw the message on the note, Lin Junyao couldn't help but shout for joy.

　　Students who graduate from the Shenwei Training Camp start as centurions, and are the first of three centurions under a commander, that is, a reserve commander.

　　As long as they performed well on the battlefield, they could be promoted immediately. Not to mention some small nobles below the aristocratic families, in the Tianyuan Dynasty, some princes and nobles were also trying to send their children to the Shenwei training camp to ensure a future.

　　Now Zhou Yun can enter the Shenwei Training Camp. According to the military law of the Tianyuan Dynasty, a major assessment of military merit will be conducted every six months, and a large number of promotions, transfers and vacancies will be announced at the same time. In three years, Zhou Yun can catch up with at least five such assessments. As long as he can be promoted three times out of the five assessments, he will at least be a lieutenant general after three years.

　　An eighteen-year-old lieutenant general was already considered a star in the dynasty's military circles, so it would be no problem for him to marry her. Moreover, in the Tianyuan Dynasty, as long as one had made great contributions, one could be promoted without waiting for a major assessment of military merit.

　　In fact, the benefits of the Shenwei Training Camp are far more than that. In addition to the smooth promotion path, the chief instructor of each session of the Shenwei Training Camp is a general of the Tianyuan Dynasty. After graduation, this group of students will all be disciples of this general. If they perform well and can gain the appreciation of a general, their future path will definitely be extremely smooth.

　　Seeing Lin Junyao's delighted expression after seeing the news, Lin Juntian also showed a smile on his face, "This kid is really capable. It seems that I will have to help him a little in the future. Even if he can't be my brother-in-law, he can still be a good helper."

　　——————————————————————

　　Dear friends, please give me some flowers and collections, I am begging you.

　　Chapter 26: Tiger!

　　At this time, Zhou Yun naturally didn't know that Lin Juntian's evaluation of his future had changed greatly, and he didn't know that his achievements had brought Lin Junyao great happiness.

　　After a night of rapid travel, Zhou Yun had already traveled a hundred miles away from Heyang City and reached the border of Tianhe Province. If he walked a little further, he would enter the territory of Nanshan Province, and the starting point of the Black Dragon Mountains was within the scope of Nanshan Province.

　　As you get closer to Nanshan Province, the roads become uneven. The reason why Nanshan Province is named Nanshan is because it is mountainous. Almost 70% of the province is made up of uneven hills of various sizes, and it is even the starting point of majestic mountain ranges such as the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　They had been walking all night, and although Zhou Yun's walking method was very energy-saving, he was already a little tired.

　　At this moment, the sky was already slightly bright, and Zhou Yun was no longer in a hurry to travel. He left the official road and entered a small hill nearby. He found a relatively secluded cave. Zhou Yun checked the surrounding terrain, set up a simple trap at the entrance of the cave, and then crawled in.

　　Although Zhou Yun was sure that he was not being followed, he still had to be careful. The entrance to the cave was wide and not easy to seal. Moreover, the terrain at the exit of the cave was relatively open. If necessary, Zhou Yun could escape from any direction.

　　After entering the cave, Zhou Yun waved his hand and took out the package Li Yi gave him from his space ring.

　　In addition to two sets of clothes, the package also contained two pots of water and a few small bags of dry food, and the rest was a dozen or so pieces of silver.

　　There are about fifty or sixty taels of silver. If you use it sparingly, it will be enough to support you for a year.

　　After eating some dry food and drinking some water, Zhou Yun took out the mysterious little piece.

　　Ever since the break of the assessment yesterday, Zhou Yun had always wanted to study this small piece of paper carefully, but he couldn't find the time. Now, the time is finally right, and Zhou Yun naturally didn't want to wait any longer.

　　Zhou Yun took out the small piece and held it in his hand. He examined it carefully. It was still the same ink color, with dense and delicate lines engraved on it. The lines looked like water waves or flames. At a different angle, they looked like lines blown by cold wind, and even a little like the appearance of lightning exploding.

　　But when Zhou Yun tried hard to carefully distinguish whether it was water waves or flames, the pattern seemed somewhat dull and ordinary. It seemed to be something, yet not like anything. It was just an ordinary pattern.

　　"Such a material, such an engraving technique, and most importantly, this artistic conception that seems to be countless but is not countless, is truly amazing! If this is really a piece of armor, then the original armor must be earth-shattering!" Although he still couldn't tell what this small piece was, Zhou Yun was absolutely sure in his heart that this thing must be extraordinary!

　　Now his own cultivation is not high, and his vision is very low, so naturally he can't see more. But at this time Zhou Yun has determined that this small piece will be his biggest secret in the future, and it must not be exposed. If someone else knows this thing, once it is exposed, it will definitely bring disaster.

　　"It seems that it is impossible to determine what this is right away. I'd better practice quickly." Zhou Yun still couldn't tell what this strange little piece was, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

　　However, the last time Zhou Yun entered the state of cultivation with this small piece in his hand, he made great progress. Now that he has the opportunity, Zhou Yun naturally wants to do it again.

　　Zhou Yun closed his eyes and gently clenched his palm. The small piece was completely fitted into the palm of his hand.

　　Zhou Yun calmed his breathing completely and gradually let his thoughts enter a state of emptiness.

　　Gradually, as if the whole person was pulled out, Zhou Yun once again entered the vast space of pure ink.

　　All he saw was darkness. Zhou Yun was once again shocked by the scene before him. The vast world was an inky color. The inky earth stretched out continuously with no boundaries at all, and the entire sky was also an inky color, as if he was in chaos.

　　The most important thing is that Zhou Yun didn’t see the connection between heaven and earth at all. The whole world seemed to be a whole!

　　He forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart. Although Zhou Yun could not feel the existence of his body in this space, he could clearly feel that he was different from this world.

　　Based on his previous experience, Zhou Yun already knew that only when he tried to integrate with this world would his cultivation level improve rapidly.

　　Without thinking too much, Zhou Yun immediately put away all his complicated thoughts.

　　As his heart gradually calmed down, a distant and powerful beating feeling immediately spread into Zhou Yun's heart, as if the earth and the sky were beating.

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun's thoughts completely dissipated and merged into the chaos.

　　Inside the cave, Zhou Yun once again became dignified and peaceful, as if he could maintain this posture for ten thousand years. His breathing was long, and his chest and abdomen rose and fell slowly at a speed that could not be observed by the naked eye.

　　As Zhou Yun entered this state, traces of air began to gradually gather towards Zhou Yun.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun has completely lost consciousness and is completely immersed in the vast inky land. In that land, Zhou Yun has no form of his own. Although he has thoughts and can see everything in the inky world, Zhou Yun is like a breeze and seems to have no sense of existence at all.

　　Time passed little by little, and quietly, five hours had gone by. Zhou Yun sat quietly in the cave, and the spiritual energy around him continued to gather. In that inky world, streams of quiet air began to gather towards a certain point on the inky earth, condensing little by little.

　　In the inky earth, a human-like outline gradually appeared!

　　But such condensation is extremely slow, and there is no way to see it clearly. It seems to exist, but also seems not to exist.

　　roar!

　　Suddenly, a majestic roar reached Zhou Yun's ears, and the trap set at the entrance of the cave began to jingle. The sound immediately pulled Zhou Yun out of the void.

　　In the inky world, the faint trace of shape and airflow suddenly disappeared, and Zhou Yun's consciousness returned to his mind at that moment.

　　Woo…Ah…

　　The moment he regained consciousness, Zhou Yun immediately heard the thunderous roar of a wild beast.

　　Having been with lightning for so long, Zhou Yun is very familiar with this sound. It is the low roar of a tiger!

　　In an instant, all the hairs on Zhou Yun's body stood up.

　　Zhou Yun left Heyang City in order to avoid being hunted down by a group of nobles in Heyang City and to save his life. However, he did not expect that he would fall into greater danger just after leaving Heyang.

　　Woo…

　　With a low whimper, a tiger walked into the cave step by step. His black and yellow color, two and a half meters long, and the majestic word "King" on his head all showed his status as the king of the jungle.

　　Seeing the tiger, Zhou Yun's pressure was relieved a little. The tiger was only about two and a half meters long and weighed less than three hundred kilograms. It should be only a little over two years old and not yet fully grown.

　　Unlike humans, there are many animals in this world that are born with extremely excellent talents and instincts. Take tigers for example. If they grow up normally, they can naturally grow to the bone training realm at the age of two to three. Tigers over four years old are considered fully grown, and at that time, tigers are basically all masters equivalent to the tendon training realm among human warriors.

　　The talents of this group of people are simply incomparable to those of humans. Generally speaking, for a normal person, if he has not practiced specially, it would be difficult for him to reach the skin training level even when he becomes an adult. This is the gap!

　　Having raised Lightning for more than three years, Zhou Yun has fully witnessed Lightning's growth process. At first, Zhou Yun could fight against the young Lightning on equal terms. Afterwards, although Zhou Yun's cultivation level continued to improve little by little, he still could not keep up with Lightning's natural growth speed.

　　Lightning is now three and a half years old. Although he has not received any special training, he has already grown to the peak level of bone training. I believe that in half a year, he will almost certainly reach the level of tendon training. This is the gap.

　　The two-year-old tiger should be at the middle stage of bone training. Although his level is higher than Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun is familiar with the tiger's attack habits, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to escape. Without a weapon, Zhou Yun could only think about killing the tiger. It was impossible.

　　When it saw Zhou Yun, a hint of murderous intent flashed across the tiger's cold eyes, and its fangs were fully exposed. It was obvious that it had already regarded Zhou Yun as its dinner.

　　With a slight wave of his hand, Zhou Yun put the small piece into the space ring, sank his body, and was on guard.

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun's feet seemed to be firmly rooted in the soil. With his feet rooted and his upper body slightly leaning forward, a majestic aura emanated from him.

　　Only at this time did Zhou Yun realize that after that period of practice, his cultivation had actually improved significantly, and the fatigue in his body had completely disappeared!

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's movements, the tiger's eyes flashed with confusion. It felt like it had met its own kind. This was natural. Zhou Yun practiced the authentic Tiger Fist, which was extremely profound. Tiger Fist originated from the tiger, so the tiger was naturally familiar with Zhou Yun's aura.

　　roar!

　　But even so, the tiger's idea of ​​eating Zhou Yun as dinner has not changed.

　　With a sudden tiger roar, the tiger pounced directly at Zhou Yun, passing the six-meter distance in a flash. One of its front paws had already stretched out, and its terrifying tendons like a spirit snake were wrapped around its forearm, and its sharp claws were fully exposed.

　　This kind of fight was completely different from the fight between Zhou Yun and Lightning. When fighting with Zhou Yun, Lightning's claws were always retracted. Even when attacking, the sharp claws were never revealed. Otherwise, Zhou Yun would not be able to fight with Lightning at all, and a piece of his flesh would be torn off with a single punch.

　　But this tiger would not be polite to Zhou Yun. It showed its sharp claws directly, emitting a little cold light!

　　"Get up!" Not daring to take it head-on, Zhou Yun exerted force with his legs and jumped up, avoiding the attack. He then pushed his feet against the rock wall of the cave, and the whole person jumped over the tiger and pounced towards the cave entrance!

　　Chapter 27 Caravan

　　After dodging the tiger's attack, Zhou Yun used the force to rush out of the cave.

　　This cave is too narrow. It is very inconvenient to attack or hide in such a space. Moreover, Zhou Yun cannot kill the tiger now. Escape is the key, so he naturally has to leave the cave first.

　　Unexpectedly, Zhou Yun suddenly ran away. The tiger immediately roared and chased after him quickly.

　　At this time, on the official road below, a team of carriages was moving slowly forward. More than a dozen carriages were moving steadily forward, and the boxes on the carriages were neatly arranged. It was obvious that this was a caravan.

　　There were more than thirty people in the entire caravan. Each carriage had a driver and two guards. At the front of the team, a man who looked like a martial artist was riding a brown horse, leading the way.

　　"Boss Liang, shall we continue on our journey tonight?" As they were walking, a young man in his twenties rode up from behind and walked beside the leading warrior. The young man was wearing a yellow outfit, a martial arts belt around his waist, and a long and narrow sword on his back.

　　"Well, this place is almost entering Nanshan Province. This area is not peaceful, and there are often some bandits active around. It is not suitable to set up camp or stay there. It is better to pass through as soon as possible. Tell everyone to work harder. We will be able to reach Nanyun City by noon tomorrow." Nodding, the leader Liang said.

　　"Well, this journey is really tiring. When I arrive in Nanyun City, I have to find a restaurant to relax." The young man said with a wicked laugh.

　　"You kid, you don't practice hard every day, but think about all kinds of messy things!" After scolding the young man with a smile, the leader Liang Laoda said, "If you want to relax, you have to wait for Nanyun to say that after the goods are delivered, there will naturally be time to relax. Now we should urge everyone to work harder."

　　"Okay." The young man responded and prepared to turn his horse around.

　　roar!

　　Just at this moment, a terrifying howl suddenly came from the middle of the mountain in front.

　　hiss!!

　　Hearing this sound, the pack horses of the entire caravan suddenly neighed, and even the brown horse under Boss Liang's crotch began to retreat repeatedly. The horses were startled, and the entire caravan immediately began to show signs of disarray.

　　His face changed drastically, and Boss Liang hurriedly said, "There is a tiger, everyone be careful, calm the horses, and don't break the goods!"

　　While directing everyone to keep their formation steady, Boss Liang drew out the broadsword from his waist with a 'swish' sound and became fully alert. The border between Nanshan Province and Tianhe Province is mostly mountainous, and encountering wild beasts is a common occurrence.

　　The quality of this caravan was quite high. The grooms immediately jumped off the carriage and began to hold the pack horses tightly to calm them down. The warriors in charge of the escort also drew their weapons one by one and began to be on guard to prevent the tiger from suddenly rushing out and hurting people.

　　Roar! Roar!

　　In the jungle, waves of terrifying tiger roars continued to be heard, but the tiger did not rush out.

　　After calming down the situation behind, the young man in yellow urged his horse forward again, holding a sword in his hand, and said in a strange voice, "Boss Liang, why didn't the tiger rush out? Is it hunting? But this place is so close to the official road, tigers usually don't come here."

　　"I don't know either. You wait here, I'll go check out the situation first." Encountering a tiger can be a big deal or a small deal. With so many warriors in the caravan, it's not a big threat. The only thing is that they might scare the horses, which would be really troublesome.

　　Just as Boss Liang was about to dismount to check, the young man in yellow clothes beside him grabbed his clothes.

　　"Boss Liang, look, the tiger has come out and is chasing someone!" At this time, a figure suddenly jumped out from the dense forest and landed on the official road, and behind the figure, a tiger also rushed out. Seeing this scene, the young man in yellow immediately spoke up.

　　The one being chased out by the tiger was Zhou Yun. After dodging the tiger's attack in the cave, Zhou Yun had been running away ever since.

　　After the real fight with the tiger, Zhou Yun realized that a tiger with only the middle stage of bone training was far beyond his current strength. In the final analysis, it was still a matter of talent. If he met a human warrior at the bone training level, Zhou Yun might not be too embarrassed. However, the tiger's sharp teeth and claws were not possessed by humans. In this case, Zhou Yun did not dare to fight the tiger. He just dodged a punch, and his entire right hand was torn by the tiger's claws, bleeding profusely.

　　Fortunately, this resting place is not far from the official road. After Zhou Yun escaped from the cave, he has been moving towards the official road. As long as he is on the official road, there should not be too much danger. Although tigers are ferocious, they are still afraid of people, especially on the official road with many human presence. Presumably, the tigers will not keep chasing.

　　After dodging the tiger's attack, Zhou Yun rolled forward.

　　roar!

　　Originally thinking that Zhou Yun would be a good dinner, the tiger was a little annoyed after spending so much time without catching him. With a wild roar, it flew over and pounced on Zhou Yun's back.

　　A pair of sharp claws flashed with cold light and grabbed Zhou Yun's back!

　　He never stopped paying attention to the danger behind him. Feeling gusts of wind approaching, the skin on Zhou Yun's back tightened.

　　"Why is this tiger so difficult to deal with! Does it really have to eat me as dinner?" Zhou Yun cursed in his heart, then jumped violently, stretched out his hands, and grabbed the tree trunk above his head.

　　Then he flipped over and flew into the air two or three times, and had already climbed to the top of a tree. The tiger's attack was very strong, and Zhou Yun was not sure whether the tiger would continue to chase him after he ran to the official road, so he could only climb up the tree first.

　　Woo…

　　This tree was more than ten meters high. Zhou Yun climbed very quickly and reached the top of the tree in just one or two breaths. In this place, unless a tiger could climb up the tree, it would definitely not be able to hurt him.

　　The caravan that had stopped in the distance saw all of this. Seeing Zhou Yun nimbly evading the tiger's pursuit, the young man in yellow swallowed his saliva and said, "This guy doesn't look very old, but he's so skilled!"

　　Although Zhou Yun was running away the whole time, his cultivation level could still be seen. If he didn't have certain abilities, he might not be able to escape even if he ran, as the tiger was very fast.

　　"He is indeed not very old. He looks only seventeen years old, but his cultivation is extraordinary. It seems that he has reached the initial stage of bone training." With a gleam in his eyes, Boss Liang nodded in praise.

　　In the Tianyuan Dynasty, there were certainly quite a few people who had reached the bone training stage at the age of seventeen, but such people usually came from aristocratic families. There were very few young people among the poor who had such a level of cultivation. Just like the fifteen-year-old students of the Tiger Martial Hall who took the assessment with Zhou Yun, most of them were only in the initial stage of skin training.

　　After two years, these people are at most in the middle or peak stage of skin training, and it is very difficult to reach the bone training stage. And the students of the Tiger Martial Arts Hall are all elites among the children of the poor.

　　From this perspective, a poor boy of around seventeen years old who can reach the initial stage of bone training is already a very talented person.

　　Zhou Yun was dressed in coarse cloth, without even a proper weapon, and was chased by a tiger beside the official road at night. It was obvious that he could not be a son of an aristocrat, so Boss Liang naturally classified him as a poor genius.

　　"Boss Liang, he was driven up a tree by a tiger, and it seems that the tiger is unwilling to leave for the time being. How about you give him a hand? If you give him a hand, maybe there is still a chance to recruit him into our Jinghai Escort Agency." Blinking his eyes, the young man in yellow came over and spoke.

　　"Well, that's a good idea." Nodding, Boss Liang turned over and jumped off the horse.

　　In fact, when Boss Liang saw Zhou Yun just now, he already had this idea in mind. A young genius from a poor family is indeed a person that the escort agency likes to recruit. If such a young man is trained in the escort agency for a few years, I am afraid that Jinghai Escort Agency will have another chief.

　　Putting the scabbard and the handle of the broadsword together, the broadsword immediately turned into a long sword. With both hands clenched, Boss Liang slowly approached the tiger.

　　At this time Zhou Yun also saw the caravan in the distance. It was obvious that the honest middle-aged man who looked like a bodyguard was ready to help him.

　　"Big brother, the tiger below is not easy to deal with, be careful!" Seeing that the tiger had noticed the middle-aged man, Zhou Yun immediately reminded him. At the same time, his body was tense, staring at the tiger below, ready to jump down to help at any time.

　　"I know." After hearing Zhou Yun's reminder, the middle-aged man responded simply.

　　Having sensed the hostility from the middle-aged man, the tiger roared angrily and stopped staring at Zhou Yun. Instead, it turned around and pounced on him.

　　"Come on!" With a loud laugh, the middle-aged man staggered his feet forward and backward and swung out with the big knife in his hand.

　　The tiger did not retreat at all. It stretched out its right claw and slapped horizontally, immediately colliding with the middle-aged man's sword.

　　After the loud noise, the man and the tiger immediately shifted their positions and started fighting again.

　　Hiding in the tree, Zhou Yun put his right hand behind his back and slowly took out his short knife from the space ring. In a head-on battle with a tiger, long weapons must be used to be effective. Short knives and the like are completely useless. Now Zhou Yun is preparing for a sneak attack, so this short knife can play a big role.

　　The tiger had just chased Zhou Yun into a state of great distress. At this moment, Zhou Yun was ready to teach the tiger a lesson.

　　A dozen meters away from the tree where Zhou Yun was, a man and a tiger were fighting fiercely. The middle-aged man's footwork was very exquisite, and his footsteps seemed to cater to some natural law. The range of motion was not large, but the effect of movement was surprisingly good, and he could often easily avoid the tiger's attack.

　　The middle-aged man's cultivation was one level higher than that of the tiger. Coupled with the human warrior's mental advantage, the middle-aged man gradually gained the upper hand.

　　After another round of fighting, the tiger's left front paw was finally injured by the middle-aged man!

　　"Good opportunity!" The tiger paused as its front paw was injured. Seeing this opportunity, Zhou Yun's eyes lit up immediately!

　　"Die!" With a wild roar, Zhou Yun suddenly exerted force with his legs and jumped directly from the tree. He flashed a distance of ten meters and stabbed the tiger's back with the dagger in his hand!

　　Oh!

　　Feeling the threat from behind, the tiger let out a loud roar, and its thick tail suddenly swung towards Zhou Yun!

　　Chapter 28 Nanyun City

　　After practicing tiger boxing for a long time, Zhou Yun not only imitated the tiger very well, but also understood the tiger's attack methods better.

　　Zhou Yun had already anticipated this tail swing. Feeling the strong wind, Zhou Yun was not afraid at all, but jumped directly into the air. The short knife in his hand also reached down and stabbed deeply into the tiger's back.

　　Swish!

　　A tearing sound was heard. As Zhou Yun slid in the air, the sharp knife that pierced the tiger's back also fiercely cut open the tiger's back!

　　Oh!

　　Feeling the pain, the tiger roared and wanted to turn around and attack Zhou Yun.

　　At this moment, the middle-aged man, who had been prepared, immediately swung his sword and hit the tiger's neck hard!

　　puff!

　　A stream of blood spurted out, and the tiger's heavy body finally fell to the ground, twitching a few times, and died.

　　After killing the tiger, Zhou Yun felt a little relieved. Just as he was about to say thank you, a figure ran towards him from afar.

　　"Oh! My dear, little brother, you are really wasting resources. Do you know how much a tiger skin like this is worth? You cut it like this! Now, at least one hundred taels of silver are gone because of this cut." Seeing that the tiger was dead, the young man in yellow who was watching the fight below also ran up quickly.

　　Seeing the tiger on the ground, the young man in yellow immediately expressed regret.

　　Tigers are not only powerful and ferocious, but also full of treasures. Tiger skin, bones, whip, and some internal organs are all very precious medicinal materials and raw materials. The body of such a tiger can be sold for at least five hundred taels of silver in Nanyun City. The tiger skin alone is worth one hundred taels. If it weren't for Zhou Yun's knife, it might be worth one hundred taels more.

　　"Is this thing worth so much money!?" After hearing what the young man in yellow said, Zhou Yun was immediately stunned!

　　In the past, he had been working as a servant in the Qin family. Apart from working hard, he was also working hard on his cultivation. He rarely thought about making money, and he didn't know much about the value of some things.

　　He just knew that the tiger was a beast full of treasures, but he really didn't understand how valuable it was.

　　Zhou Yun is very short of money now, especially in the battle just now. Due to the limitations of human physical endowment, it would be absolutely wishful thinking to want to fight against wild beasts without a sophisticated weapon.

　　"That's natural. Otherwise, how could there be so many adventurous warriors? Aren't you an adventurous warrior yourself? How come you don't even know these?" Looking at Zhou Yun, the young man asked curiously.

　　"Haha, I just came out from my hometown to gain experience, and I really don't understand these things." Zhou Yun said with a humble smile.

　　At this time, several other people from the caravan in the distance ran up and saw that the tiger had been killed. They immediately tied up the tiger's body and prepared to carry it away.

　　After commanding the newly arrived men to tie up the tiger and lift it up, the middle-aged warrior turned around and said to Zhou Yun, "My dear brother, we are from Jinghai Province. I am the head of the Jinghai Escort Agency. My name is Liang Zan, and this is my apprentice Chen Shuisheng. What's your name, my dear brother?"

　　Zhou Yun bowed and said, "I am Zhou Yun from Tianhe Province. I would like to thank General Liang for saving my life."

　　Zhou Yun's thanks were sincere. If Liang Zan had not suddenly appeared today, Zhou Yun's life would not be in danger, but it would still be troublesome for him to escape.

　　Smiling at Zhou Yun, Liang Zan said, "It's just a small favor. We are all in the martial arts world, so it's only natural for us to help each other. We are going to deliver the goods to Nanyun City. If you don't have other plans, you can come with us so that we can take care of you. It just so happens that we killed this tiger together, so you should get a share of the money from the sale."

　　"In that case, I'm sorry to bother you." After some contact, Zhou Yun got to know Liang Zan and Chen Shuisheng a little. They were two very righteous people in the world and they didn't have any bad intentions.

　　And they said they would give him some of the money from hunting tigers, so Zhou Yun was ready to take it. After this battle, Zhou Yun felt the importance of weapons even more urgently. This time when he came to Nanyun City, Zhou Yun also wanted to get a good weapon, which also required money.

　　"You're welcome, little brother. Let's get on with our journey." With a hearty laugh, Liang Zan turned around and walked towards the caravan on the official road below.

　　Chen Shuisheng, who was close in age to Zhou Yun, stayed behind and walked parallel to Zhou Yun.

　　Walking beside Zhou Yun, Chen Shuisheng naturally felt Zhou Yun's light steps. Thinking back to how Zhou Yun remained calm under the attack of the tiger just now, Chen Shuisheng couldn't help but admire him. If it were him, he would probably be bitten to death by the tiger at the first sight.

　　"Brother Zhou, your cultivation is really good. You are probably only seventeen years old this year, but you have already achieved such a powerful level of cultivation. You are stronger than me, who is in my twenties. It's really amazing!" Looking at Zhou Yun excitedly, Chen Shuisheng praised sincerely.

　　Zhou Yun smiled when he heard Chen Shuisheng guess that he was seventeen years old. As he was born in a servant's house, Zhou Yun matured earlier than other children, so he looked older, but he didn't want to reveal his real age.

　　After all, at the age of fifteen, when he was just in the initial stage of bone training, such cultivation was too terrifying and would definitely bring him some unnecessary trouble.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just lucky. There's a powerful warrior in my hometown who gives me some advice. I'm almost 18 years old this year, and my cultivation level is just average in the Tianyuan Dynasty."

　　With a hint of false blame, Chen Shuisheng said, "Brother Zhou, your cultivation is just average, then I am nothing, right?"

　　"Forehead……"

　　When Zhou Yun heard Chen Shuisheng's words, he was immediately stunned.

　　Liang Zan in front laughed loudly, turned around and said, "Shuisheng, you are really a piece of shit. You are already 20 years old and still haven't reached the peak of skin training. You are still complacent every day. Now you see the gap, right? After delivering the goods this time, you must practice hard for me when you go back!"

　　After being teased by his master, Chen Shuisheng nodded a little depressed and said, "I know."

　　Seeing Chen Shuisheng's depressed look, Zhou Yun also smiled in his heart. Although he was chased by the tiger for a long time, he met the caravan of Jinghai Escort Agency and made some new friends. This was considered a good gain.

　　While they were talking, several people had already returned to the caravan.

　　The sudden appearance of the tiger just now frightened all the horses in the caravan. After being calmed down, the horses started on their way again.

　　Although the hunted tiger was dead, the pressure of the blood and energy of the king of beasts was still very strong. There was no other way, the caravan could only send out a pack horse to pull the tiger's body and walk at the end of the team.

　　A horse was assigned to Zhou Yun to ride, and the caravan set off again.

　　With a dead tiger behind them, the caravan's horses moved much faster than expected. The next morning, the caravan had already arrived at Nanyun City.

　　"Nanyun City is ahead. When we get there, I will first find a business to dispose of the tiger's body, and then give you the money." Liang Zan said to Zhou Yun beside him at the front of the team.

　　Nodding, Zhou Yun said, "Thank you, Chief Liang."

　　"Don't be polite about such a small matter. It's only natural for us to help each other when we are traveling around the world." Liang Zan responded with a slight smile, then waved to the caravan behind him, "Enter the city!"

　　At the command, the entire caravan immediately drove into Nanyun City in a mighty manner.

　　Although Nanyun City is located in the southwestern border of the Tianyuan Dynasty, it is the capital of Nanshan Province after all, and is much larger than Heyang City.

　　On the way into the city, Zhou Yun had been observing the situation in Nanyun City. Unlike the quiet Heyang City, Nanyun City exuded a wild atmosphere from inside to outside. From time to time, groups of people dressed as warriors came in and out of the city gate. These warriors' cultivation was generally good. Even some ordinary people had a fierce look on their faces.

　　What surprised Zhou Yun the most was that almost everyone here carried a weapon with them, which was almost unimaginable in Heyang City.

　　As if seeing the surprise in Zhou Yun's eyes, Liang Zan said, "Nanyun City is close to the starting point of the Black Dragon Mountain Range, and is often invaded by ferocious beasts. In addition, there are many warriors here, so the trouble of bandits has never stopped. Therefore, if you want to survive here, you must have means of self-protection."

　　Zhou Yun nodded slowly without saying a word. Arriving at the foot of Nanyun City, Zhou Yun had already seen the traces of destruction on the majestic walls of Nanyun City. Obviously, these were left by some ferocious beasts that attempted to attack the city. In addition, the invisible sense of oppression around the entire city was also very obvious. Obviously, it was not easy to survive here.

　　Zhou Yun had also heard of ferocious beasts. Although Zhou Yun, who was in the inland city of Heyang, had never seen a ferocious beast, he had heard of its name.

　　Different from ordinary wild beasts such as tigers, leopards, and wolves, ferocious beasts have higher cultivation and are more cunning, and some of them even have intelligence, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

　　Some of these beasts are remote descendants of some ancient beasts, and some are gradually evolved from certain animals in a long evolution. Although not every beast has the cultivation comparable to that of an adult tiger or leopard, it is generally acknowledged that beasts are more difficult to deal with than ordinary wild beasts.

　　The Black Dragon Mountains are where the most ferocious beasts are concentrated in the Tianyuan Dynasty. Nanyun City is close to the starting point of the Black Dragon Mountains, so it is common to be invaded by ferocious beasts. Fortunately, the most powerful ferocious beasts are deep in the Black Dragon Mountains, and generally no ferocious beasts that are too strong will run to the periphery of the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　If it weren't for this, if the most terrifying beasts in the legend, such as the Candle Dragon, the Viper, and the Wild Thunder, appeared in Nanyun City, there would probably be few survivors left in the entire Nanyun City.

　　Of course, these legendary beasts are just legends after all, and no one knows whether they still exist.

　　After a while, the caravan had already entered Nanyun City. Although there were many people with bad intentions watching the caravan from afar along the way, this was an urban area after all, and no one dared to do anything too extreme.

　　Under the leadership of Liang Zan, the caravan soon arrived at an inn.

　　"Brother Zhou Yun, we will stay here today. You can go in and book a room first. I still have to deal with the handover of goods and buy that beast by the way. I will come to find you after I come back." Liang Zan said to Zhou Yun after stopping in front of the inn.

　　"Okay, Mr. Liang, you go ahead and get busy." Zhou Yun bowed to Liang Zan, dismounted, handed the horse to an escort from the Jinghai Escort Agency, and turned to walk into the inn.

　　Chapter 29: Bad Intentions

　　"Sir, you are here. Do you want to stay in the hotel or have a meal?" As soon as he entered the lobby, a waiter immediately came up to greet Zhou Yun.

　　"Stay in the hotel." Zhou Yun said calmly without any extra expression on his face. Although he had just entered the inn, Zhou Yun immediately felt several unfriendly gazes in the lobby.

　　"Okay, sir, please follow me." The guy swiftly threw the rag in his hand over his shoulder and turned around to lead the way for Zhou Yun.

　　Without saying a word, Zhou Yun followed the waiter up the stairs. Before going upstairs, Zhou Yun looked back in the direction of the hostility he had just discovered, and immediately saw a group of people sitting in the corner of the hall.

　　There were four people in total in this group, two sturdy men wearing leather armor, a young man in white clothes with a somewhat evil look, and a short man with shifty eyes.

　　These people looked unfriendly, especially the young man in white, who made Zhou Yun feel very uncomfortable.

　　Without stopping, Zhou Yun went upstairs and came to the room arranged by the store owner. This was a very ordinary guest room, facing the back street of the inn. Although it was not big, it was fully equipped. After the waiter left, Zhou Yun immediately closed the door. "This Nanyun City is really full of good and bad people. Those few people just now were not good people at first glance. I don't know what they are up to." Thinking back to the unfriendly eyes of those people just now, Zhou Yun immediately felt a little alert.

　　There were some small mechanisms set up at the doors and windows of the room. Zhou Yun was very careful and returned to the wooden bed in the room. He pulled up the curtains, sat down cross-legged quietly, and began to regulate his breathing.

　　At this time, the few people in the hall who noticed Zhou Yun at the beginning were discussing something together.

　　"Young master, does that guy have any connections?" The first person to speak was the short man with a shifty look. He and the other two sturdy men were all subordinates of the young master in white.

　　The young man in white is named Young Master Qingliu. Although the name sounds elegant, people who are familiar with him know that this Young Master Qingliu is an absolute bastard.

　　This person cheated, stole, and robbed people, and his cultivation level had already reached the middle stage of bone training. Most importantly, he was ruthless and good at poisoning. As long as he encountered any treasure, as long as there was a chance to snatch it, he would never let it go.

　　A smile appeared on his pale and sickly face, and Master Qingliu narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't you notice? When that kid came in, he didn't even have a package on him. He was wearing the most ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and there was no sign of the pockets on his clothes falling off."

　　After hearing what Young Master Qingliu said, the little man with shifty eyes seemed to understand something and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. It was obvious that he had thought of something, but the two burly men were still a little confused.

　　"Sir, that guy looks poor and probably doesn't have much money. It's normal that he doesn't have a bag on him." Not knowing what was going on, one of the burly men in black spoke in confusion.

　　Frowning slightly, Master Qingliu scolded, "What do you know? That boy obviously has no money, and it's obvious that he's not a local. Did he come here hungry?"

　　"Sir, how come that boy has such a precious treasure?" At this time, the little man with shifty eyes had completely figured it out.

　　Nodding, Master Qingliu said, "It's probably correct. I took a special look at his finger and there is indeed a ring on it. According to my observation, this kid's cultivation is at most in the middle stage of skin training. While he is dizzy now, Feishu, take this tube over. If you can secretly stun him, take the ring from his hand and have a look. If not, you return immediately and we will find another way."

　　After saying that, Master Qingliu took out a small tube as thick as a short arrow from his sleeve and handed it to the short man named Feishu.

　　"Okay, I'm good at this." Nodding with a smile, Feishu took the small tube, walked up the stairs silently, and entered the guest room area.

　　"Let's go to the back street to pick up Feishu, and leave immediately once we succeed." Seeing Feishu enter the second floor, Master Qingliu immediately stood up and gave orders.

　　Nodding excitedly, the two strong men followed Master Qingliu out.

　　Today, I wanted to see if I could meet any fat sheep in this inn, but I didn't expect to find a silly boy who might be wearing a space ring. You know, a space ring is worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. If I make this fortune, I probably won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life.

　　With an evil smile on his face, Master Qingliu fanned the fan in his hand faster and faster.

　　In the room, Zhou Yun had already started practicing silently. Due to the short time and the many people around him with bad intentions, Zhou Yun did not take out the mysterious piece in the space ring, but began to study the book of All-Seeing Thunder Fist.

　　This is a set of exercises suitable for the tendon training stage, which is the last level of the warrior's external training. In the current martial arts practice, training the skin, bones, and tendons is external training, while training the organs and exchanging blood and refining the marrow are internal training. Once a warrior reaches the stage of refining the organs and exchanging blood, the true power in the body can be released, and the strength will increase exponentially.

　　If one wants to release the inner strength to attack the enemy, one must first refine it to a certain degree. This Wanxiang Benlei Fist is a precious skill for warriors to pass the last stage of the external body refining stage.

　　Unfortunately, Zhou Yun cannot use this technique now, because he still lacks a secret book on bone training. If he forcibly practices tendon training before his body has reached the peak strength of bone training, his body will definitely be harmed because it cannot withstand the intensity of the high-level technique.

　　Although there was no way to practice, it did not affect Zhou Yun's reading of the moves of the Myriad Thunder Fist. After all, this was a high-level martial art, and the combat moves on it were extremely exquisite and powerful. Observing these moves would also give Zhou Yun some inspiration for his actual combat ability.

　　Just as Zhou Yun was lost in thought, a sound of footsteps so light that it was almost imperceptible suddenly approached. Hearing this sound, Zhou Yun immediately put the secret book in his hand back into the space ring, took out the short knife, and became alert.

　　puff!

　　A slight sound was heard, and Zhou Yun immediately discovered that there was a hole in the white window paper on the side of the window close to the inn's floor corridor, which had been poked by someone's finger.

　　If it was an ordinary bone training warrior, it would be difficult to detect such a small noise. But Zhou Yun was different. After entering the strange world brought by the mysterious piece twice, Zhou Yun's senses were much sharper than those of ordinary warriors. In addition, he had been paying attention since entering the room, so such a trick could not be hidden from him.

　　After the window paper was torn, a small black tube stretched out. Seeing the tube, Zhou Yun immediately understood what the other party was going to do. He held his breath at the first moment.

　　Sure enough, the next moment, a light smoke was blown in and began to spread in the room.

　　He never expected that the other party would use such despicable means to deal with him, and a trace of anger surged in Zhou Yun's heart!

　　But in a flash, the anger on Zhou Yun's face was replaced by shock. The smoke that was blown into the room actually gathered together on its own and began to concentrate towards the space ring on his finger!

　　"What's going on? Does this space ring have the function of absorbing poisons?" With a surprised expression on his face, Zhou Yun thought in his heart with some disbelief.

　　But then, this idea was overturned by Zhou Yun, because he had clearly felt that the smoke was not absorbed by the space ring, but was absorbed by the mysterious small piece in the space ring!

　　Since entering the inky space for the second time, Zhou Yun's connection with this mysterious piece has become more acute, so at this moment Zhou Yun clearly felt the changes.

　　Although he was shocked, Zhou Yun still understood what was most important right now. Seeing that the small tube that had stretched out from the hole had been withdrawn, Zhou Yun immediately pretended to lie down on the bed. At the same time, he took out the All-Seeing Thunder Fist from the space ring and threw it beside him.

　　By acting like this, Zhou Yun wanted to paralyze the people outside and find out who they were that would come to target him on the first day.

　　Sure enough, after hearing the sound of Zhou Yun falling on the bed, the people outside began to take new actions.

　　The window that Zhou Yun had already fixed was quietly loosened. A thin arm pushed open the window and removed the small mechanism set by Zhou Yun. Then, a short man in gray shorts jumped into the room and closed the window.

　　Zhou Yun was lying on the bed, pretending to be unconscious, but secretly he was on full alert, ready to subdue anyone who entered the room at any time. The copy of the Myriad Thunder Fist he kept at hand was a trap to attract the little man.

　　Sure enough, seeing Zhou Yun fainted on the bed, Feishu's nerves immediately relaxed.

　　"The psychedelic drugs made by the young master are really powerful. Now I'm really going to make a fortune." Clapping his hands excitedly, Fei Shu quickly approached the bedside and wanted to directly take the ring on Zhou Yun's hand.

　　"Hmm?" Just as he was about to take action, an exquisite booklet beside Zhou Yun caught his sight. When he saw the booklet, Fei Shu's pupils immediately contracted!

　　"The Ten Thousand Elements Thunder Fist! It's actually a book on strengthening the muscles! This kid really has something up his sleeve!" Upon seeing the book on strengthening the muscles, Fei Shu's breathing immediately became heavy.

　　Although he has only reached the peak of skin training and cannot use tendon training techniques now, if he exchanges such a precious technique for a high-level bone training technique and takes a few precious pills, he can immediately reach the bone training level!

　　The most important thing is that Master Qingliu is unaware of the existence of this intensive book, and he can enjoy it all to himself!

　　With a slight tremor, Fei Shu's hand carefully reached out to the Wanxiang Benlei Fist beside Zhou Yun.

　　Just as he was about to hold the book in his hands, a sense of danger suddenly came over him.

　　Flying Squirrel was shocked and tried to withdraw, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his ribs! The ribs were one of the weak points of the human body, and when this part was attacked, the injured person couldn't even scream for a while.

　　Momonga only felt waves of pain coming over him, and his vision became blurry.

　　GABA! GABA!

　　Then, the sound of bones dislocating was heard, and Feishu's arms had been dislocated!

　　Under the stimulation, Feishu just gathered some strength to ask for help, but found that a piece of rag had blocked his mouth.

　　Chapter 30 Uniforms

　　"Ouch... Ouch..." The sudden attack stunned Flying Squirrel. When he came to his senses, he found himself lying on the ground, and his whole body was in pain, especially the heavy blow to his ribs. Compared to his arm that was dislocated, this attack on his ribs was more painful.

　　As he lay there, Momonga was already sweating coldly.

　　Looking at the little man in front of him, Zhou Yun's eyes were full of indifference. Zhou Yun had simulated such a scene countless times in his mind and had made sufficient preparations. Zhou Yun knew that revenge would come sooner or later after offending the nobles in Heyang City. However, Zhou Yun did not expect that the people who came this time were not sent by those nobles at all. If this little man was sent by the nobles in Heyang City, then Zhou Yun would not have to run away. The other party was so sharp that he could catch him ten times.

　　So until now, Zhou Yun still didn't know why this little guy was targeting him, which made Zhou Yun particularly annoyed.

　　Grabbing the short man in front of him by the hair, Zhou Yun had the dagger in his hand against his throat.

　　It was not a pretentious stroke, but a real pressure. The tip of the dagger had even pierced the skin outside the throat, and a trace of blood had already flowed out. With just a little more strength, the little man in front of him would become a corpse.

　　Feeling the murderous intent from Zhou Yun, Fei Shu stiffened completely, his mind going blank.

　　"Tell me, who sent you here, and what are you sent here for?" Zhou Yun asked calmly with a cold voice, pulling the rag out of the mouth of the little man in front of him.

　　At this time, the flying squirrel had recovered a little from the pain. Although he still couldn't move, he had no problem making sounds.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's question, the flying squirrel gradually regained consciousness. Looking at Zhou Yun's young and tender face, the flying squirrel's eyes immediately turned.

　　Looking at this expression Zhou Yun knew that the boy in front of him was obviously taking advantage of his young age and wanted to play some tricks on him.

　　With a sneer on his lips, Zhou Yun swung his sword vertically. Suddenly, blood flashed, and an ear fell to the ground.

　　"Ouch!" Suddenly experiencing severe pain again, Momonga instinctively wanted to scream again, but Zhou Yun, who had been prepared, blocked his mouth with a rag again. Not only that, Zhou Yun had once again put the dagger against his neck.

　　With every intense gasp and struggle, the dagger kept pressing into the skin of his neck.

　　Realizing that if he continued to struggle he would most likely die, Flying Squirrel finally dared not move anymore.

　　"Can you tell me now?" Zhou Yun asked again while smiling at the flying squirrel in front of him.

　　Although Zhou Yun was smiling, in Feishu's opinion, Zhou Yun's smile was even scarier than that of a ghost.

　　This time, Fei Shu didn't hesitate at all and blinked violently. It was impossible for him to nod now. If he nodded, the knife on his neck would pierce deeper.

　　Zhou Yun had already seen a hint of fear in Feishu's eyes, and he knew that this kid was most likely not trying to cheat again.

　　Even if he wanted to cheat, Zhou Yun could kill him instantly. Looking at the situation just now, Zhou Yun had already judged that this little guy was just a minion of the young man in white. Such a person had no loyalty and would naturally not fight to the end.

　　Pulling the rag out of the little man's mouth, Zhou Yun asked three questions in a row, "What's your name? Who sent you? Why did you attack me?"

　　After the pain of having his ear cut off, Feishu no longer had the will to resist, and immediately answered obediently, "My name is Feishu, and I am a subordinate of Master Qingliu. Master Qingliu sent me here. He determined that you were wearing a space ring, and wanted me to stun you and take the ring away."

　　There was a look of surprise on his face, but after thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yun understood why Mr. Qingliu could tell that he entered the inn alone, had no bags on him, and did not look like he had any money with him.

　　In this case, the ring on your hand is most likely a space ring.

　　This was indeed a flaw, and Feishu's words reminded Zhou Yun. It seemed that he would have to carry a package with him in the future to avoid being spotted by some sharp-eyed people.

　　"Who is that Young Master Qingliu? Also, what is his own cultivation level and that of the other two people?" After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Yun asked again.

　　Since he had already been betrayed, Fei Shu had some broken jars in his mind, and no longer concealed, "Master Qingliu is a disciple of the underground martial arts sect Wanshengmen, and his cultivation is at the middle stage of bone training. The other two strong men are his followers, also under the Wanshengmen sect, and their cultivation is at the early stage of bone training. In addition to his own good cultivation, Master Qingliu is also good at using poison."

　　One is in the middle stage of bone training, and two are in the early stage of bone training. That is to say, among these three people, one has a higher cultivation level than himself, and the other two are on par with him. This seems to be a bit troublesome.

　　Frowning slightly, Zhou Yun asked, "What kind of organization is this Wanshengmen?"

　　"Wanshengmen is a branch of the Wansheng Sect, a major martial arts sect under the Black Dragon Mountains. Since the founding of the Tianyuan Dynasty, martial arts sects have been banned on a large scale, and the Wansheng Sect was also wiped out. This Wanshengmen is the part that remains of the Wansheng Sect. Now it mainly does business such as murder, robbery, and plunder. Since the Wansheng Sect was a major martial arts sect, the power of Wanshengmen is still very strong, and it has a lot of influence in Nanshan Province and Tianhe Province." Feishu now has a sense of knowing everything and saying everything.

　　"The Ten Thousand Saints Sect..." After hearing Fei Shu's words, a thoughtful look flashed across Zhou Yun's face. Zhou Yun had also heard about the Tianyuan Dynasty's crackdown on martial arts sects.

　　In order to better maintain their rule, these powerful martial arts sects would naturally be a thorn in the eyes of the royal family. Twenty years ago, a war that destroyed the martial arts sects almost wiped out all the martial arts sects in Middle-earth.

　　From the Liangyi Divine Sect, Guanghua Sect, Tianlong Temple, Jiange, Zhenling Dao, which were major sects that had existed for thousands of years, to the Yingdao Sect, Qisha Sect, and even the Wansheng Sect as mentioned by Feishu, all were reduced to ashes in that purge.

　　Through this battle, the power of the Tianyuan Dynasty royal family was greatly enhanced, and the royal arsenal also gathered the most complete martial arts secrets and treasures in the world, which could be used to reward the meritorious soldiers in the army.

　　After this battle, the number of masters among the people immediately decreased, while the royal forces and the army of the Tianyuan Dynasty became stronger and stronger. Therefore, it is difficult to say whether this battle to wipe out the martial arts sect was right or wrong.

　　"Sir... Sir, I have told you everything I know. Can you let me go?" Just as Zhou Yun was thinking, Fei Shu's trembling voice came out again.

　　Looking at the somewhat desolate little man in front of him, Zhou Yun said slowly, "Not yet."

　　After saying this, Zhou Yun immediately raised the dagger in his hand.

　　"Don't kill me!" Seeing Zhou Yun's actions, Fei Shu immediately screamed in panic.

　　bump!

　　Then, he felt a heavy blow on the back of his neck, and Momonga's eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

　　With a thud, the flying squirrel fell to the ground. Looking at the little man curled up at his feet, Zhou Yun shook his head silently. He originally wanted to kill this man, but thinking about it carefully, it was not appropriate.

　　After all, Young Master Qingliu is from the Wansheng Sect, and no one knows how much power he has here. If he kills the flying squirrel rashly, the two sides will have a deep grudge against each other, and he will be in trouble in Nanyun City where he is unfamiliar with the place.

　　It would be better to trap this flying squirrel here, take the silver from Liang Zan, choose a good weapon and leave immediately, so as to quietly avoid this incident.

　　Zhou Yun knew that what he had to do now was not to kill people or to fight bravely, but to gain experience and quickly improve his cultivation.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately found a piece of rope, tied up Fei Shu, stuffed him under the bed, and then started to clean up the blood on the ground.

　　Zhou Yun had controlled the strength just now very well. The flying squirrel would be unconscious for at least three or four hours. By that time, Zhou Yun would probably have already bought weapons and left the city.

　　"Brother Zhou Yun, are you in there?" Just as he finished the things at hand, a knock on the door came from outside, and Liang Zan's voice also sounded at the same time.

　　After seeing that there was no trace in the room, Zhou Yun immediately went to open the door. Outside the door, Liang Zan was standing there with a smile on his face.

　　Zhou Yun cupped his hands and said, "Brother Liang, you're back so soon?"

　　"Yes, it's a good harvest. This tiger is worth a total of 560 taels. We killed the tiger together, so we will each take half. This is your share, take it." Liang Zan said as he handed a package to Zhou Yun.

　　Looking at the bulging bag of silver in front of him, Zhou Yun hurriedly declined, "Brother Liang, you killed the tiger. If it weren't for you, I don't know how I would have escaped. How can we split the money equally? Just give me one hundred taels."

　　Naturally knowing that Zhou Yun was not pretending to refuse, Liang Zan's impression of Zhou Yun became better and better. "Brother Zhou Yun, please don't be polite. You just went out, so you need to bring more money with you. More than one hundred taels of silver is nothing to me, but it can be of great use to you. Don't refuse it."

　　After saying that, Liang Zan stuffed the package into Zhou Yun's hands without Zhou Yun having any chance to refuse.

　　Unable to refuse, Zhou Yun stopped being hypocritical and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Brother Liang."

　　Liang Zan looked at Zhou Yun with appreciation and said, "Brother Zhou Yun, if you have nowhere to go, you can consider joining our Jinghai Escort Agency. Our Jinghai Escort Agency has good strength in Jinghai Province and several other coastal provinces, and has great development prospects. If you are willing to come, I can ask the chief escort to accept you as an apprentice and teach you martial arts personally."

　　In fact, Zhou Yun had already seen that Liang Zan wanted to invite him, but Zhou Yun had his own goals in mind.

　　Zhou Yun bowed to Liang Zan and said slowly, "Brother Liang, to be honest, I have plans to join the army. This time I want to come out and gain some experience before joining the army. I appreciate your kindness, Brother Liang."

　　In fact, Liang Zan also knew that outstanding young people like Zhou Yun would generally choose to join the army and would not choose to join the escort agency, and this could not be forced.

　　After all, the honor and title that the army can bring are not something that the escort agency can obtain no matter how well it performs.

　　"Well, since you, little brother Zhou Yun, are interested in joining the army, I won't say much. What are your plans next?" Liang Zan was not the kind of person who liked to force others, so he sighed in his heart and gave up the idea of ​​winning over Zhou Yun.

　　"I want to buy a handy weapon in Nanyun City and then leave directly. This time, the time is tight, so I can't delay any longer. I have to go directly to the Black Dragon Mountains."

　　————————————————————————

　　There is another chapter at 12 o'clock. I will be on the list in the new week. Please give me some flowers and collections. Thank you.

　　Chapter 31 Three-forged Steel Knife

　　"Well, across from this inn is Li's Weapon Shop, the stuff there is of pretty good quality, and more than two hundred taels of silver is enough to get a good weapon. If you want to go to the Black Dragon Mountains, it's best to buy an introduction to the Black Dragon Mountains before leaving the city, which may save you a lot of trouble. Also, remember not to go too deep, just practice on the periphery." Seeing that Zhou Yun had decided to leave, Liang Zan didn't try to keep him.

　　Such acquaintances are usually short-lived. During all these years of escorting, Liang Zan has met many people who wanted to be won over to the Jinghai Escort Agency but failed, so he didn't care about this matter.

　　"Thank you, Brother Liang. I will definitely visit you when I have time to go to Jinghai Province in the future. In this case, I will take my leave first." Knowing that he could not delay any longer, Zhou Yun said goodbye immediately.

　　"Okay, then I won't see you off." Liang Zan responded with a nod.

　　After saying goodbye to Liang Zan, Zhou Yun directly paid the bill and walked out of the inn. The innkeeper had seen many guests who paid to stay in the inn but only stayed for less than an hour, so it was not strange.

　　After leaving the inn, Zhou Yun immediately saw Li’s Weapons Shop across the street.

　　After looking around, Zhou Yun did not see Master Qingliu, nor did he see anyone paying attention to him. He immediately walked quickly across the street and entered Li’s Weapons Shop.

　　As soon as he entered the store, Zhou Yun's eyes were immediately drawn to the various weapons arranged on the shelves. All the weapons were divided into areas according to their prices. There were machetes that cost less than thirty taels of silver, ordinary iron swords, as well as spears, sledgehammers and other weapons.

　　There are also fine steel weapons worth about 100 taels of silver, and various high-quality weapons worth more than 300 taels of silver. In the center of the hall, a staircase leads to the second floor, where some more sophisticated weapons should be stored.

　　Since this time he was going to enter the Black Dragon Mountains for training, Zhou Yun naturally could not be too casual about his weapons. He had just received the two hundred and eighty taels of silver from Liang Zan, plus the more than sixty taels of silver given by Li Yi before leaving, the total was three hundred and forty taels, which was just enough to buy a sword for three hundred taels of silver.

　　There were quite a few people shopping in the hall, but everyone here was looking at their own weapons and seldom talked. There were no waiters serving them in the hall. There was only an old man who looked like a shopkeeper sitting leisurely behind the counter.

　　Although the old shopkeeper was sitting there with his eyes narrowed, looking like he was about to die, Zhou Yun had already sensed the danger coming from the old shopkeeper. It was obvious that the old man was not as weak as he appeared.

　　Zhou Yun had only been in Nanyun City for one day and he had already felt the chaos of this border city. To be able to open a weapons shop here, the power must be quite powerful.

　　Without staying in the center of the hall for long, Zhou Yun went directly to the area of ​​300 taels of silver and began to choose.

　　Before this, Zhou Yun had never used any weapons. He only used some ordinary iron weapons in the Tiger Martial Arts Hall to learn some basic sword and knife skills.

　　For those who are new to weapons, a knife is naturally the best choice, and Zhou Yun is no exception.

　　There are several options for knives priced at three hundred taels, and Zhou Yun patiently looked at them one by one.

　　"A triple-forged steel knife, forged three times in the furnace, with a one-piece all-steel blade, sharp and strong, weighing thirty kilograms."

　　"The rebar knife is forged with rebar, with a pure steel blade connected to a wooden handle. The blade is sharp and has a certain degree of flexibility. It weighs 18 pounds."

　　"The rhino bone knife is made from the ribs of a rhino. It is sharp, flexible, and strong. It is relatively balanced and light, weighing nine pounds."

　　On the knife rack, rows of knives are arranged. Each knife has a detailed introduction to its production and materials, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. It depends on the user to choose.

　　No wonder there is no need for a waiter to introduce here, everything is written on the surface, and it is not a scam. Looking at the rows of swords in front of him, Zhou Yun spoke silently in his heart.

　　After a brief consideration, Zhou Yun chose a three-foot-long three-forged steel knife. This knife was the heaviest and the hardest, and was the best choice for hunting wild beasts and fierce beasts. Although it was heavy, Zhou Yun now had the cultivation of bone training, so a 30-jin steel knife should not be too heavy in his hand.

　　Zhou Yun took the three-forged steel knife off the knife rack, held it in his hand and swung it twice, finding it very handy.

　　Nodding with satisfaction, Zhou Yun walked towards the counter with a steel knife in hand.

　　"Old shopkeeper, I want this triple-forged steel knife." Zhou Yun said as he placed the steel knife on the counter.

　　"Three hundred taels of silver." The old shopkeeper opened his squinting eyes a little, glanced at Zhou Yun, and spoke slowly.

　　When leaving the inn, Zhou Yun had already carefully taken out the silver from the space ring in the stairwell and put it in the package. If he took it out now, no one would find out that he was carrying the space ring.

　　After opening the package, Zhou Yun took out three hundred taels of silver and placed them on the counter.

　　"Well, you can take the knife. If you plan to go to Black Dragon Mountain, you can take a Black Dragon Notes from the counter. It's a gift for spending more than 300 taels of silver, and it's better than the street vendors selling them outside." The old shopkeeper stood up and collected the silver that Zhou Yun had placed on the counter and spoke casually.

　　After saying this, the old shopkeeper sat back on the chair, closed his eyes and began to rest peacefully.

　　"Thank you, old shopkeeper." Zhou Yun clasped his fists towards the old shopkeeper who was sitting there, took a book from the pile of booklets on the table, and walked out of Li's Weapons Shop.

　　Without staying any longer, Zhou Yun hung the newly bought three-forged steel knife on his waist and walked quickly out of the city. Zhou Yun knew that he was too young, walking alone, and looked like a stranger. If he stayed in the city for too long, he would inevitably get into some trouble.

　　Moreover, no one knew where Young Master Qingliu was at the moment. He sent Fei Shu to attack him. If he didn't get a reply from Fei Shu after a while, he would probably become suspicious.

　　Therefore, it would be better for Zhou Yun to leave Nanyun City as soon as possible.

　　Moving forward quickly while paying careful attention to his surroundings, about an incense stick of time later, Zhou Yun had walked out of Nanyun City and arrived at the official road outside the city.

　　On the official road, people who looked like warriors came and went in groups of three or five. Some were heading towards the Black Dragon Mountains, while others were coming back from the Black Dragon Mountains. Those who came back from the Black Dragon Mountains all looked different.

　　Some of them came in small groups, driving horse-drawn carriages that were bulging with stuff and covered with sackcloth, and no one knew what was on them. Some returned empty-handed, but most of them were covered in wounds and looked pale.

　　Obviously, the Black Dragon Mountains are not that simple.

　　After walking about ten miles forward, Zhou Yun took advantage of the opportunity when there was no one on the road and quickly left the official road, and ran to a big tree about a hundred meters away from the official road.

　　Zhou Yun hadn't eaten anything since last night, and he was already a little tired, so it was time to take a rest. Moreover, before entering the Black Dragon Mountains, Zhou Yun also wanted to read the pamphlet he brought out from Li's Weapon Shop, so that he could have a better understanding of the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　Sitting on the tree, Zhou Yun took out a portion of dry food and a pot of water from his space ring. He ate slowly while flipping through the booklet in his hand.

　　"In the Black Dragon Mountains, it's not just the ferocious beasts that are scary!"

　　Turning to the first page of the booklet, a simple sentence immediately caught Zhou Yun's sight. Seeing this sentence, Zhou Yun immediately felt a heavy pressure.

　　With a serious expression, Zhou Yun turned another page of the booklet in his hand.

　　"In the Black Dragon Mountains, the elusive wild beasts and fierce beasts are certainly scary, but the most terrifying are the people in the Black Dragon Mountains. In the Black Dragon Mountains, every fierce beast and every medicinal herb is worth money. There are also many lost treasures hidden in the mountains. Many ruined martial arts sects and martial arts masters were destroyed or died in the Black Dragon Mountains. The mountains have also bred many natural treasures."

　　"The huge profits are accompanied by murderous intentions at every step. I hope that those who come later will be very careful in the Black Dragon Mountains, especially those around you."

　　After reading this sentence, Zhou Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and his understanding of the Black Dragon Mountains deepened.

　　The first two pages of the booklet were summaries, while the rest were some common sense about the Black Dragon Mountains, including what kind of wild beasts and ferocious beasts there were, the threat levels of each, as well as the value and sales channels of some wild beasts, ferocious beasts, and natural treasures. The rest were some vague legends.

　　Those legends generally say that some powerful martial arts sects hid in the Black Dragon Mountains and disappeared during the massacre twenty years ago. Some areas of the Black Dragon Mountains are suspected to be the location of the treasures of these sects.

　　But one thing that is very consistent is that the locations of these so-called martial arts sects' treasures are all extremely dangerous places of death. Many warriors want to look for them, but end up never returning.

　　"According to what is recorded in the Black Dragon Notes, there will be no ferocious beasts above level two along the entire outer perimeter of the Black Dragon Mountains. As long as you walk along the periphery, there shouldn't be too many problems. If you encounter a human team, try to avoid them if you can." In about half an hour, Zhou Yun had already browsed through the Black Dragon Notes, and he had already understood the basic problems clearly.

　　Zhou Yun also had a general idea of ​​where he could go and where he couldn't go in the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　In addition to security considerations, Zhou Yun has also browsed through all the valuable things in the Black Dragon Mountains, and has recorded in his mind what can make money. Zhou Yun knows that if he wants to gain a foothold in the Shenwei Training Camp, or even in the future army, money is still very important.

　　During the three months, in addition to practicing, Zhou Yun also needs to work hard to make money.

　　Putting away the Black Dragon Notes in his hand, Zhou Yun glanced at the Black Dragon Mountains in the distance, turned around, jumped off the tree, and began to walk towards the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　At this time, in Nanyun City, Master Qingliu finally realized that things were not as simple as he thought. He had been waiting for almost two hours, but there was still no movement in the room above.

　　"Has that guy noticed us? Why hasn't Flying Squirrel come down for so long? Hasn't he found a chance to attack?" Looking at the back wall of the inn, Master Qingliu spoke in a surprised tone.

　　"Did something happen?" After hearing what Young Master Qingliu said, a sturdy man asked doubtfully. Feishu was also an old man in the martial arts world, and he had already reached the middle stage of the skin training stage, which was comparable to that boy's cultivation level, so there shouldn't be any problems, so he didn't believe what he said.

　　"Let's go and take a look!" With a frown, Master Qingliu finally gave up the idea of ​​waiting any longer. He stood up first and walked towards the inn.

　　Chapter 32: Sharp-clawed Wolf Beast

　　A cup of tea later, Qingliu Gongzi and his two companions were already standing in the house where Zhou Yun had just lived, and found the flying squirrel tied up like a twist.

　　"This kid is really good." Looking at the flying mouse lying on the ground, Master Qingliu's face was cold and he spoke through gritted teeth. The two strong men beside him looked incredulous. They knew the cultivation of the flying mouse. Although the level was a little low, the flying mouse's body skills were very strong. If he wanted to escape, even they would find it difficult to catch the flying mouse. How could he be subdued so easily by a kid of the same cultivation level?

　　Seeing that Master Qingliu looked unhappy, a sturdy man asked cautiously, "Master, what should we do now? Should we continue to chase?"

　　"Chase, of course. It's not easy to come across a space ring. If we miss the chance this time, we don't know when we will have the next chance. Big Bear, contact our underground spies and get the information about the guy. We must have results today! Also, be careful with your mouth and don't leak the information about the space ring, otherwise..." Gritting his teeth, Master Qingliu spoke slowly.

　　"Got it!" After a quick reply, Big Bear turned around and walked out.

　　Young Master Qingshi had already begun investigating Zhou Yun's whereabouts in Nanyun City, and at this time Zhou Yun had already arrived at the foot of the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　Having learned from the previous lesson, this time Zhou Yun carried the package on his back, which contained two pieces of clothes, some silver, some dry food and a pot of water. Now Zhou Yun finally looked more normal, and even if someone saw the ring in his hand, no one would suspect that it was a space ring.

　　As he approached the Black Dragon Mountains, Zhou Yun immediately felt a tremendous pressure.

　　The main body of the Black Dragon Mountain Range in the distance looks like a huge black dragon lying on the ground, majestic and mysterious, making people dare not approach.

　　According to the Black Dragon's notes, the jungle under the mountains is considered the outskirts of the Black Dragon Mountains. This area is basically inhabited by some not-too-strong wild beasts and some first-level ferocious beasts that are equivalent to the skin-training cultivation level of humans.

　　When passing through the dense forest, you will often encounter level two ferocious beasts, which is equivalent to the bone training stage, under the Black Dragon Mountains. And so on, the deeper you go, the more likely you will encounter high-level ferocious beasts!

　　With Zhou Yun’s current strength, it would be best for him to move around on the periphery and not get close to the mountain.

　　"There are also some powerful and valuable ferocious beasts in the periphery. According to the average value, a level one ferocious beast is worth about six hundred taels of silver. If I can hunt five in a day, I can get more than two hundred thousand taels of silver in three months. This is already a huge sum of money. With this money, it is enough to buy a better bone training secret book." Zhou Yun thought in his mind as he walked slowly in the dense forest.

　　The dense forests beneath the Black Dragon Mountains were filled with towering trees that almost blocked out the sky. Occasionally, strange rustling sounds could be heard from the forests. Zhou Yun knew that these were the sounds of small animals moving under the cover of the forests. However, unless these guys rushed out to attack him, it would be almost impossible to find them in such an environment.

　　Here, danger can appear from almost any angle at any time, so Zhou Yun dare not be careless at all.

　　Suddenly, a cold feeling came from behind. Feeling this chill, Zhou Yun knew that something was attacking him. His body tensed up, and Zhou Yun immediately pulled out the three-forged steel knife from his waist. At the same time, he turned his body and the blade went straight forward.

　　clang!

　　After a loud clashing sound of metal, a two-foot-long black beast fell to the ground. The beast looked somewhat like an ordinary wild wolf, but its forelimbs were thicker than those of ordinary wolves, and its pair of sharp claws also appeared to be extremely strong.

　　"Sharp-clawed wolf beast." With just one glance, Zhou Yun matched the black wolf in front of him with the Sharp-clawed wolf beast in the Black Dragon's notes.

　　The biggest feature of this sharp-clawed wolf beast is its pair of claws, which are as strong and sharp as steel knives. When hunting prey, it often uses its sharp claws to tear the prey into pieces before eating it alive. It is very cruel!

　　Moreover, according to the Black Dragon's notes, these sharp-clawed wolf beasts usually appear in groups.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately held his breath and began to concentrate on the movements around him!

　　Sure enough, after a burst of tiny crackling sounds, a dozen more sharp-clawed wolf beasts appeared around Zhou Yun!

　　It turned out that without anyone noticing when, these sharp-clawed wolf beasts had surrounded Zhou Yun!

　　"It's bad!" Zhou Yun's face immediately became serious when he saw more than a dozen sharp-clawed wolf beasts surrounding him. He didn't expect to encounter such a ferocious group of sharp-clawed wolf beasts in the first battle after entering the Black Dragon Mountains, but now he can only think of a way to get through this level.

　　Although these sharp-clawed wolf beasts were only equivalent to warriors at the skin-training level, Zhou Yun's realm was higher than these ferocious beasts, but when it was one against a dozen, the situation was completely different.

　　Holding the three-forged steel knife tightly in his hand, Zhou Yun began to slowly retreat.

　　Being surrounded by enemies on all sides is absolutely not an option. We must choose a place we can rely on, or at least not be besieged in an open space.

　　Oh!

　　As if it had seen through Zhou Yun's intention, a wolf beast with sharp claws immediately jumped up and pounced on Zhou Yun from the side. Its pair of sharp claws had already stretched out, heading straight for Zhou Yun's ribs.

　　Zhou Yun had already made preparations, so he didn't panic at all. He just rolled sideways on the ground and raised the three-forged steel knife in his hand. In an instant, the wolf beast with sharp claws that pounced on him was ripped open!

　　Zhou Yun had already observed this sharp-clawed wolf beast. Attacking it from the front would definitely not be effective, so he could only look for a breakthrough from other directions.

　　When one sharp-clawed wolf beast was killed, the other dozen sharp-clawed wolf beasts did not panic, but instead approached more closely. However, this time they had learned their lesson and did not rush to get closer. Instead, they coordinated and approached step by step.

　　"These beasts, their fighting coordination is so clear!" Zhou Yun frowned when he saw the actions of these sharp-clawed wolf beasts. His situation was already very bad. If he waited any longer, he would definitely be surrounded, and then he would be in real danger.

　　"We must rush out!" Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately started to act.

　　His body suddenly rushed forward, as if he wanted to break through, to lure the three sharp-clawed wolf beasts behind him to catch up. However, Zhou Yun suddenly turned around and stomped his feet hard on a tree stump. Zhou Yun jumped into the air and slashed downward with the steel knife in his hand, instantly cutting a sharp-clawed wolf beast into two pieces!

　　After landing, Zhou Yun rushed forward rapidly, running towards a big tree in the distance. The tree was so thick that it took three people to hug it. If Zhou Yun could rush to the tree, he would be invincible!

　　Oh!

　　As if they had seen through Zhou Yun's thoughts, the nearest few sharp-clawed wolf beasts immediately rushed towards Zhou Yun regardless of their lives, with a pair of sharp front claws fully exposed! The few behind them ran quickly, trying to bypass Zhou Yun and complete the encirclement again!

　　"Die, you evil creature!"

　　The actions of these sharp-clawed wolf beasts aroused Zhou Yun's anger. He swung his knife to block the one on the left. Zhou Yun jumped up again and chopped the sharp-clawed wolf beast that pounced on him from the right into two pieces.

　　Although he killed another one, Zhou Yun was surrounded again.

　　"Well, since I can't get out, let's just fight hard! You evil beast, let's see whether it's you who dies or me today!" Surrounded again, Zhou Yun had completely given up the idea of ​​breaking out. Although these sharp-clawed wolf beasts were not as good as him in terms of cultivation, they were very fast. Plus, there were so many of them, it was not easy for Zhou Yun to get rid of them.

　　When he was in trouble, the wild gene in Zhou Yun's heart immediately burst out. After being with Lightning for many years, Zhou Yun also had the will of a tiger. No matter how unfavorable the situation was, he maintained a high fighting spirit!

　　Taking a step forward, Zhou Yun immediately swung the sword in his hand, blocking a sharp-clawed wolf beast that was unable to come up, and then attacked from the side, chopping off the head of a sharp-clawed wolf beast with one sword.

　　But during this attack, Zhou Yun's shoulder was grabbed fiercely, and blood immediately flowed!

　　Although the teeth of this sharp-clawed wolf beast are sharp, its mouth is not big and its fangs are not long enough, so it is difficult to kill its prey directly by biting. On the contrary, the attack of its sharp claws is very powerful. Generally, when hunting, these sharp-clawed wolf beasts will first use their claws to grab the prey into a bloody mess, and then start eating after the prey loses its ability to resist.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun being scratched, the surrounding wolf beasts with sharp claws immediately howled. According to their previous hunting experience, the moment the prey was scratched, it meant that the prey was not far from death!

　　After a few excited howls, several wolf beasts with sharp claws immediately pounced on them from different angles.

　　roar!

　　Seeing that he was looked down upon by these beasts, Zhou Yun immediately let out a roar!

　　Having already reached the level of bone training, Zhou Yun's internal strength was already very powerful. This roar used the Hu Zhenshan Qi explosion method, which immediately shocked the two sharp-clawed wolves in front of him!

　　Zhou Yun then rushed forward and slashed with his knife, directly cutting the throats of the two sharp-clawed wolf beasts in front!

　　At this moment, the other sharp-clawed wolf beasts finally began to get scared!

　　This human was obviously different from the ones they had seen before, and the roar he made was very similar to that of a tiger in the forest!

　　As he was testing, a wolf with sharp claws pounced at him from behind again. Feeling the attack from behind, Zhou Yun took a step sideways. Although it seemed that he had just barely avoided it, he was extremely safe!

　　At the same time, the steel knife was raised and another one was killed!

　　At this time, Zhou Yun was already in a killing mood. He took a deep breath, and stared at a sharp-clawed wolf beast in front of him with his eyes wide open. Suddenly, a tremendous pressure completely locked onto the sharp-clawed wolf beast!

　　Taking advantage of the opponent's unstable mind, Zhou Yun rushed forward and slashed with a knife, almost chopping the head of the sharp-clawed wolf beast into pieces!

　　Although the raw material of the triple-forged steel knife is just ordinary fine steel, the strength of the blade is no longer comparable to that of ordinary weapons because it has been forged three times. With its own weight of thirty kilograms, plus Zhou Yun's full-strength slash, the force of hundreds of kilograms smashed down, and the head of the sharp-clawed wolf beast immediately shattered like a watermelon!

　　Woo woo…!

　　Seeing Zhou Yun, who was like a killing god in the field, the remaining few sharp-clawed wolf beasts finally dared not to stay. With a wail, the remaining few sharp-clawed wolf beasts immediately retreated and disappeared into the dense forest in an instant!

　　Chapter 33: Caught in front of me

　　"It feels so good!" Seeing that all the sharp-clawed wolves had retreated, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart!

　　With every battle like this, Zhou Yun's cultivation will improve. From the previous battle, Zhou Yun gained a deeper understanding of the role of Tiger Fist in actual combat, and also honed more skills!

　　In a real fight, the boxing routines are not the most important thing. The most important thing is to use them flexibly according to the actual situation!

　　And these things cannot be learned through ordinary personal training. At this time, Zhou Yun has already felt that coming to the Black Dragon Mountains for training is the right choice. After three months of training, Zhou Yun's combat ability will definitely make great progress!

　　All the clawed wolf beasts around had retreated, and Zhou Yun just felt the pain on his shoulder. Just now, the clawed wolf beast had grabbed this spot, leaving a wound deep enough to see the bone. Once the tense atmosphere dissipated, the pain immediately came over him.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun took out some medicine and sprinkled it on the wound. Immediately, the originally horrific wound stopped bleeding.

　　Looking at the condition of his wound, Zhou Yun's eyes flashed with doubt, and he said silently, "Such a deep wound, the bleeding stopped so quickly. Although there is the effect of the golden wound medicine, the wound has already begun to heal automatically before the golden wound medicine was applied."

　　The wound healed very quickly, which was naturally a good thing, but Zhou Yun also knew that this was definitely not normal. Recalling the situation when he fought in the martial arts competition arena in Heyang City the day before yesterday, Zhou Yun felt even more confused.

　　"The wounds left during the martial arts exam healed quickly, which could be attributed to the effect of the blood-clotting pill at that moment. But now more than two days have passed. Even if the blood-clotting pill was a holy medicine, its medicinal power should have dissipated. Now the wounds can still heal so quickly, it seems that it must be the effect of that small piece." Looking at the wounds that had stopped bleeding with the help of the golden wound medicine, Zhou Yun thought silently.

　　That small piece is so mysterious. Not only is there such a huge chaotic world inside the small piece, but after being sucked into that world, even if you do nothing, your cultivation will improve quickly. The most important thing is that the small piece can absorb poisonous things!

　　Now, Zhou Yun felt more and more that the small piece was extraordinary, and he became more and more cautious. He did not dare to take the small piece out easily and let others know.

　　Obviously, this is definitely a treasure!

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun gathered his thoughts and began to sort out his results of this battle. The most valuable part of these sharp-clawed wolf beasts is their pair of front paws. In addition to these front paws, there are also the beasts' inner elixir and fur, which are also good materials.

　　The inner elixir of fierce beasts can be used to refine pills, and can also help some warriors in the skin training realm to practice and absorb and improve their cultivation. However, Zhou Yun's cultivation has now reached the bone training level, and the inner elixir of fierce beasts in the skin training realm is of no use to him.

　　Instead of skinning and chopping off the claws of these ferocious wolves one by one, Zhou Yun simply gathered a few dead wolves and threw them into the space ring.

　　Although this space ring is not big, it has a space of two meters square, which is more than enough to accommodate the bodies of these ferocious wolves with sharp claws.

　　After cleaning up the corpses of these ferocious wolves, Zhou Yun immediately moved quickly forward along the Black Dragon Mountains. There was a very important principle in the key points recorded in the Black Dragon Notes, which was not to stay too long in a place where a battle had taken place, especially in places where bleeding had occurred. Whether it was an ordinary wild beast or a more difficult beast to deal with, they were all very sensitive to blood.

　　If you don't move immediately after a battle, you will likely be surrounded!

　　When transferring, Zhou Yun also deliberately moved to the outer areas of the Black Dragon Mountains, which could also avoid encountering too powerful beasts to the greatest extent!

　　Half an hour later, Zhou Yun was already far away from the place where the battle had just taken place.

　　Zhou Yun found a hidden tree hole and stopped. After the fierce battle just now, Zhou Yun had already gained a lot of insights, and the injuries just now needed to be recovered. Zhou Yun decided to rest and recuperate in this tree hole before continuing on.

　　After entering the tree hole, Zhou Yun set up a simple trap at the entrance of the hole, then sat down safely, opened the space ring, and took out the small piece inside.

　　At noon at the inn, when the small piece absorbed the mist released by the flying squirrel, Zhou Yun had already wanted to take it out and take a good look at it, but he never had the chance. Now Zhou Yun finally has time.

　　With the light coming through the tree hole, Zhou Yun carefully examined the small inky piece in his hand. Although it absorbed the mist, there was no change in the small piece in Zhou Yun's hand.

　　"It seems that I should go in and take a look, and continue practicing at the same time." After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun made a decision.

　　Placing the small piece in the palm of his hand, Zhou Yun took a deep breath. His mood and thoughts became calm at that moment, and he gradually entered a state of emptiness.

　　Zhou Yun, who was sitting cross-legged and withdrew his consciousness, looked dignified again. Inside the dark patch, Zhou Yun's consciousness had once again entered the chaotic world. With the experience of the previous two times, Zhou Yun did not waste time and emptied his mind to try to feel the vast chaotic time. Soon, Zhou Yun's heartbeat was at the same level as the dark world in front of him.

　　As Zhou Yun's heartbeat began to align with this inky world, streams of spiritual energy began to gather towards a certain point in the inky world little by little. These spiritual energies condensed little by little, and gradually formed a vague human shape at a certain point in the inky earth.

　　If Zhou Yun could see the situation here at this time, he would be shocked to find that the human figure condensed on the ground was exactly the same shape as him!

　　As time went by, the human figure condensed on the inky earth began to become more realistic little by little. In the tree hole, Zhou Yun, who was sitting cross-legged, also began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy into his body autonomously.

　　The wounds caused by the sharp claws of the wolf beast in the previous battle began to recover rapidly and improve during this kind of training.

　　When Zhou Yun's cultivation was getting better and better, Young Master Qingliu had already chased him to the foot of the Black Dragon Mountains with his three subordinates.

　　Wanshengmen had a huge influence in Nanyun City. Although Zhou Yun had been very careful, Master Qingliu still found a clue about Zhou Yun and chased him to the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　"Master, are you sure that boy has entered the Black Dragon Mountains? But he has only reached the middle stage of leather training. Isn't it courting death to come here alone?" Following behind Master Qingliu, Daxiong asked with some confusion.

　　Closing the folding fan in his hand, Young Master Qingliu's triangular eyes flashed a little light, and he said with a wicked smile, "It's definitely correct. With the ability of the Wanshengmen Information Network, there is really nothing in Nanyun City that can't be found. The boy came out of the inn, went to Li's Weapon Shop to buy a weapon, and then left the city and walked directly here. It shouldn't be wrong."

　　After saying this, Master Qingliu reached behind him and grabbed the short flying squirrel out from behind him. "Flying squirrel, have you found any clues?"

　　The flying squirrel was in a very depressed state at the moment. Zhou Yun cut off one of its ears, and coupled with the shock, the flying squirrel had become a frightened bird.

　　Although he was afraid of Zhou Yun, he was also afraid of Master Qingliu. After being caught, Feishu immediately pouting his nose and began to sniff around bit by bit.

　　After carefully checking all around, Feishu finally figured out a direction. "Master, that kid should have gone in that direction. I smelled blood, so it shouldn't be wrong."

　　With a smile on his face, Master Qingliu waved his hand and said, "Let's go, chase!"

　　After the order was given, Master Qingliu immediately took the lead and walked out. Big Bear, Two Bears and Flying Squirrel followed closely behind him, quickly following.

　　Originally, Zhou Yun should not be chased if he quietly left the Black Dragon Mountains. Zhou Yun had already considered this point carefully. Even if Young Master Qingliu guessed that he had come to the Black Dragon Mountains, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find him given the huge size of the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　However, Zhou Yun did not know that the flying squirrel had a special ability. This flying squirrel was a member of the Earth Spirit Tribe, a special ethnic minority in Nanshan Province. All the people in this tribe had one thing in common, which was a keen sense of smell. There was also a unique smell in their blood. Even if they were dozens of miles apart, as long as they caught the smell of the blood, they would be able to rely on the smell of the blood to track down the person with their blood.

　　Just now in the inn, Zhou Yun cut off the flying squirrel's ears. Although he cleaned the blood, some of the flying squirrel's blood was still on Zhou Yun's shoes. The flying squirrel could rely on the smell of blood to find Zhou Yun.

　　After traveling through the dense forest for two hours, Feishu finally brought Qingliu Gongzi and the others to a dense forest. After sniffing hard with his nose, Feishu finally locked his sights on a big tree in the distance.

　　"Master, that kid should be in the tree hole of that big tree." Pointing his finger at a big tree in the distance, Feishu said with certainty.

　　"Haha, it doesn't take any effort at all. Big Bear and Second Bear, go catch that kid. If he dares to resist, just kill him!" With a loud laugh, Master Qingliu gave the order directly.

　　In Nanyun City, Master Qingliu naturally did not dare to openly rob Zhou Yun because he had to consider the impact and was afraid that too many people would know the secret that Zhou Yun had a space ring. But now it is different.

　　This is the Black Dragon Mountains. Even if he kills people and steals the ring in the wild mountains and ridges, I'm afraid no one can do anything to him.

　　When he thought of the benefits he could get after seizing this space ring, Master Qingliu's eyes immediately showed a hungry wolf-like light.

　　"Just watch, sir." Upon hearing what Young Master Qingliu said, Big Bear and Second Bear immediately drew their weapons and moved towards the big tree in the distance step by step.

　　In the tree canopy, Zhou Yun still sat there quietly, his expression dignified and calm, but everything was not calm in the inky world where Zhou Yun was. Under the continuous condensation of spiritual energy, the human figure in the inky world had become very real.

　　Just at this moment, a sense of danger suddenly pulled Zhou Yun's consciousness out of emptiness.

　　"There is danger!" When this hostile aura came, Zhou Yun immediately woke up, and his consciousness instantly left the inky world. In a hurry, Zhou Yun did not even notice that when his consciousness left, a figure had already condensed in the inky world.

　　Chapter 34 Bone Training Method

　　After regaining consciousness, Zhou Yun immediately saw the situation outside through some broken holes in the tree trunk.

　　Under the somewhat mottled moonlight blocked by dense trees, two sturdy men were holding steel knives and approaching the big tree where he was step by step.

　　The two sturdy men were the two followers of Master Qingliu, and in the open space at the far end, Master Qingliu was standing with the flying squirrel whose ear he had cut off.

　　"These guys haven't given up yet and have found their way here!" Looking at Master Qingliu with a greedy look on his face and the flying squirrel beside him in the distance, Zhou Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.

　　A ray of sharp light escaped from the slits of Zhou Yun's eyes, which was the precursor to Zhou Yun's real anger.

　　If they were in a town or on an open official road, Zhou Yun might really be afraid of the cultivation levels of these people, but in this dense forest, Zhou Yun took the initiative, especially now that he was hiding in the dark.

　　Seeing the two men approaching from a distance, Zhou Yun restrained all his breath and prepared himself to attack.

　　Walking to the big tree, Big Bear and Second Bear looked at each other, nodded, and raised their knives at the same time. Both of them were bloodthirsty people. Although Master Qingliu wanted them to catch Zhou Yun, the two of them preferred to chop down the tree directly and kill Zhou Yun inside.

　　Looking at the actions of the two people in front of him, the cold light in Zhou Yun's eyes became more fierce.

　　“Die!”

　　With a loud shout, Big Bear and Second Bear swung their knives at the tree where Zhou Yun was. The two knives, one horizontal and one vertical, actually wanted to directly cut Zhou Yun into pieces with a cross stranglehold!

　　In order to cut a cross on the tree, the two men had to swing their swords one after the other, otherwise their swords would collide with each other. Seeing this, Zhou Yun seized the opportunity and finally launched the attack!

　　Zhou Yun, who was hiding in the tree canopy, suddenly lowered his body and dodged the bear's first horizontal slash. At the same time, the three-forged steel knife in Zhou Yun's hand also stabbed out directly from the tree canopy.

　　Phew!

　　He was originally preparing to chop vertically again, but as soon as he swung the knife in his hand, Er Xiong immediately felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

　　He looked down in disbelief, only to find that a gray steel knife had stretched out from the tree canopy and pierced deeply into his body.

　　"Ah!" Feeling the severe pain and the breath of life gradually slipping away, Er Xiong finally couldn't help but scream.

　　"Second Bear!" Big Bear had never expected such a sudden change to happen. He immediately screamed and tried to support his younger brother's body.

　　bump!

　　At this moment, with a loud bang, Zhou Yun had directly broken through the tree trunk in front of him and rushed out.

　　The three-forged steel knife in his hand had already been pulled out. As soon as it came out, Zhou Yun used all his strength to chop it towards the big bear's head with great force.

　　Suddenly, the breath of death enveloped Daxiong's heart. No longer able to care about his younger brother, Daxiong hurriedly drew his sword to block Zhou Yun's attack.

　　nail!

　　A burst of sparks flew out, and the two men's swords collided fiercely. Although their cultivation levels were similar, and Zhou Yun had only been in the bone training stage for a relatively short time, Zhou Yun was well prepared for this attack, while Da Xiong was hastily preparing for it.

　　As the swords came into contact, Daxiong's steel sword was immediately knocked away by Zhou Yun's strength.

　　Having anticipated this result, Zhou Yun forcibly suppressed the numbness in his arms and palms, and slashed horizontally with the three-forged steel knife in his hand once again, leaving a half-foot-deep horizontal wound on the big bear's chest!

　　Suddenly, a stream of hot blood spurted out and splashed all over Zhou Yun!

　　In an instant, the two bears were killed by Zhou Yun's knife. Although the big bear did not die, he was seriously injured. If he was not treated in time, he would probably die.

　　The purpose of the attack had been achieved, and Zhou Yun had no intention of fighting anymore. He dodged and jumped into a bush where he had been hiding behind a big tree.

　　When Zhou Yun was practicing in the tree hole of the big tree, he had already taken a good look at the surrounding environment. If he was attacked, the grass would be the best escape route.

　　This time the battle was completed in a flash. After the attack, Zhou Yun immediately fled, leaving no time for Master Qingliu to react. Seeing that one of his two capable men was dead and one was injured, Master Qingliu could no longer remain calm and ran over directly.

　　"Big Bear! Second Bear!" Qingliu Gongzi ran over and took a quick look. He knew that the reality was exactly the same as he thought. Second Bear was stabbed through the abdomen by Zhou Yun and was dead. Big Bear's chest was directly cut open horizontally. If he was not treated in time, he would definitely die!

　　"Master, what should we do? Why don't we go back first!" Fei Shu had already experienced Zhou Yun's ruthlessness at noon. This time, he was actually a little nervous when he tracked him down, but he had to come because of the threat from Master Qingliu. At this time, seeing Zhou Yun's ruthless attack, killing one of the Big Bear and the Second Bear and injuring the other, Fei Shu immediately thought of retreating.

　　"Bullshit! A stinky boy with wet breasts actually dares to kill someone! You help Daxiong bandage the wound here, I'll go kill that kid!" Completely overwhelmed by anger, Qingliu Gongzi cursed angrily and jumped directly into the bushes where Zhou Yun had just jumped.

　　"Master!" Seeing that Master Qingliu was going to leave him here, Feishu immediately shouted in panic, but Master Qingliu had already disappeared. There was no other way, Feishu could only help Daxiong bandage his wounds.

　　"Don't come, don't come..." His hands were shaking, and Fei Shu kept muttering nervously while bandaging the wound.

　　What he feared most now was that Zhou Yun would suddenly appear beside him. The cold look in Zhou Yun's eyes when he killed someone just now had been deeply engraved in his mind.

　　Perhaps what you fear will come true. Before Feishu finished bandaging his wound, a figure appeared above his head under the moonlight.

　　It was the shadow of a young man, with a tall and straight figure like a mountain. The reflection of the steel knife in his hand under the moonlight almost had a pressure that made people collapse.

　　"Don't kill me, I don't want to come..." With a hint of despair, Fei Shu turned his body stiffly. The next moment, all he could see was the steel knife slashing in the air and Zhou Yun's eyes without any emotion.

　　puff!

　　Blood splattered as the flying squirrel's head was chopped off by Zhou Yun. Then with another blow, Zhou Yun killed the half-dead bear.

　　It turned out that Zhou Yun did not go far after entering the bushes, but swung the steel knife vigorously, letting the blood on the steel knife scatter on the road ahead, creating an illusion that Zhou Yun had run away. Zhou Yun was hiding under the bushes and did not move at all.

　　After Young Master Qingliu chased away, Zhou Yun naturally turned back.

　　This time, Zhou Yun came back not just to kill people, but more importantly to get something. When he killed Er Xiong just now, Zhou Yun already felt that there was something hidden in Er Xiong's clothes. That thing seemed to be a book. If Zhou Yun was not wrong, it should be a secret book!

　　Big Bear and Second Bear should be practicing the same technique, and both of them are at the initial stage of bone training. If they carry a secret book with them, it must be a bone training secret book.

　　After the flying squirrel and the big bear were both dead, Zhou Yun immediately leaned over to touch the bodies of the two bears. After a touch, Zhou Yun immediately found a blue-covered booklet in the lapels of the two bears.

　　Crazy Bear Fist Manual!

　　It was a bone-training exercise! The bone-training exercise that Zhou Yun needed most!

　　With this set of skills, Zhou Yun can quickly improve his cultivation, and he also has the skills for strengthening the tendons. If he can rely on these two skills to break through to the tendon strengthening realm in one fell swoop, then Zhou Yun's ability to protect himself will be much greater!

　　call!

　　Suddenly, a sound of wind was heard, accompanied by a fierce attack, heading straight for Zhou Yun.

　　Without relaxing his vigilance, Zhou Yun waved his hand to put the Crazy Bear Fist Manual into the space ring, and quickly dodged to the side.

　　The person who came was naturally Master Qingliu who had just run out to chase Zhou Yun. After chasing for a while, Zhou Yun's breath became weaker and weaker until he disappeared. Master Qingliu finally realized that he might have been fooled. He hurried back, but he didn't expect that he still didn't have time to save his two servants.

　　Although Big Bear, Two Bears and Flying Squirrel were all his servants, they were all very skilled, and they had been with him for a long time, and they were very helpful to him. Now that they had died inexplicably, Master Qingliu's own strength would be greatly reduced!

　　In Leiyun City, if you don't have suitable subordinates, you have no power. The same is true in Wanshengmen. Every Wanshengmen disciple has several good servants, and the core disciples have a private guard of no less than 15 people.

　　All these represent the strength of Wanshengmen’s disciples. Only when their strength is recognized can they get better resources.

　　Master Qingliu had finally gathered three suitable servants, but he didn't expect that they would all be killed by Zhou Yun in today's battle. One can imagine how furious he was.

　　"You little bastard, I will tear you into pieces today!" He had completely lost his sinister and calm appearance, and now Master Qingliu was controlled by anger.

　　Zhou Yun learned about Master Qingliu's cultivation from Feishu. He knew that Master Qingliu's cultivation was one level higher than his own, but the gap between the early stage and the middle stage of bone training should not be that big. Fighting against someone with higher cultivation than himself was also a good opportunity to hone his skills.

　　Even if he was defeated, Zhou Yun still had a chance to escape.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately roared like a tiger and rushed forward!

　　Raising the sword high in his hand, Zhou Yun chopped directly at the top of Qingliu Master's head with a move of "Taishan Pressing Down the Top". Zhou Yun felt it when he was fighting with the big bear just now. His strength has increased a little bit compared to before. Zhou Yun had already had this feeling after he finished training in that mysterious little piece of inky space last time.

　　Now, strength is Zhou Yun’s biggest advantage, and he must know how to use this advantage!

　　Facing Zhou Yun's powerful slash, Master Qingliu did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward and pointed the folding fan in his hand quickly, approaching Zhou Yun's chest in an instant.

　　Startled, Zhou Yun quickly stopped his moves and blocked with his sword.

　　nail!

　　With a collision, Zhou Yun felt a tightness in his chest and he couldn't help but take two steps back.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's embarrassed look, Master Qingliu said with contempt, "You little bastard, with your little ability, you are worthy of wearing a space ring? Today I will make sure you die without a burial place!"

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Master Qingliu immediately pounced towards Zhou Yun!

　　Chapter 35 Another Harvest

　　With a flash, Young Master Qingliu had already pounced in front of Zhou Yun, and the folding fan in his hand also pointed at the right side of Zhou Yun's neck. When they first fought, Zhou Yun already knew that the fan in Young Master Qingliu's hand was not simple. It was not only sharp, but also extremely sturdy. It was obvious that the material was much better than his own sword.

　　Not only was he negligent, he also used the three-forged steel knife in his hand to lift it up with force, sweeping away the folding fan of Master Qingliu.

　　puff!

　　Almost at the same time, Zhou Yun was kicked hard on the left side of his waist, and this kick directly cut Zhou Yun's skin, leaving a two-inch deep wound!

　　roar!

　　Not even knowing what was attacking him, Zhou Yun roared immediately, slashed with the sword in his hand, forced Master Qingliu away, and quickly retreated three steps.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun discovered that a sharp blade had emerged from the toe of Qingliu Gongzi's right shoe. It seemed that it was this blade that stabbed him just now.

　　Although he knew what the problem was, Zhou Yun was still horrified. Master Qingliu's attack just now was obviously from the right, but he was attacked on the left side of his waist without realizing it.

　　It seems that the martial arts of this Young Master Qingliu must be very complicated.

　　"Boy, how does it feel?" Looking at the bleeding wound on the left side of Zhou Yun's waist, Master Qingliu revealed a ferocious smile on his face.

　　"Don't be happy too soon!" It was impossible for him to be fooled so easily by Master Qingliu. Zhou Yun immediately stepped forward and swung his sword, fighting with Master Qingliu once again.

　　In the jungle, the sound of blood and energy boiling immediately became denser, occasionally mixed with Zhou Yun's roar and Qingliu Gongzi's sinister laughter.

　　In a blink of an eye, the two men in the dense forest had already exchanged more than thirty moves.

　　puff!

　　A trace of blood spurted out, and Zhou Yun's right shoulder was stabbed by Qingliu Gongzi's folding fan again. Suddenly, a numbing feeling was transmitted directly to Zhou Yun's brain.

　　Zhou Yun seemed to be unsteady on his feet and took several steps back.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun, whose face turned a little pale, Master Qingliu smiled even more. "Boy, how is it? My black ant poison tastes good, right? Do you feel weak all over now?"

　　Master Qingliu was good at using poison, which Zhou Yun had already known for a long time. When he was hit on the left side of his waist for the first time, Zhou Yun already felt the numbness. Originally, Zhou Yun wanted to escape before the numbness spread.

　　But that was when the numbness just started to take effect, something in Zhou Yun's body seemed to flow from his waist along the meridians to the ring finger of his left hand. Then, the numbness in Zhou Yun's waist had completely dissipated.

　　This time, the same thing happened. The numbness only surfaced a little bit, and was immediately absorbed through the meridians. After the situation in the room of the Nanyun City Inn, Zhou Yun had confirmed that the mysterious piece in his hand had the function of absorbing poison.

　　It seems that this time, this function is still maintained.

　　Although he was relieved, Zhou Yun saw an opportunity and pretended to be weak. He gasped and asked, "You...you actually poisoned the weapon, shameless!"

　　“Hahaha, shameless?” After hearing Zhou Yun’s words, Young Master Qingliu immediately laughed wildly. “I am shameless. This is a necessary means to gain wealth and power. You are a stinky boy who has not yet dried his arse, but you actually have something like a space ring. That is your capital crime! Die!”

　　After laughing wildly, Master Qingliu's figure immediately flashed, and he left his original position in an instant and rushed straight towards Zhou Yun!

　　After the fight just now, Zhou Yun had seen clearly that Young Master Qingliu was very experienced in combat and seemed to have mastered some powerful footwork. Although his speed was not fast, he could always dodge Zhou Yun's attacks with very simple movements, leaving Zhou Yun without any strength to use.

　　That's why Zhou Yun came up with this idea, to paralyze Master Qingliu, let him relax his vigilance, and then launch a surprise attack.

　　Now, the opportunity has come.

　　From the looks of it, Zhou Yun's body was paralyzed and he had no strength to resist, so Young Master Qingliu would naturally not deal with him so carefully.

　　Quickly approaching Zhou Yun, Master Qingliu pointed the folding fan in his hand directly at Zhou Yun, and the sharp spikes on the tip of the folding fan directly pierced Zhou Yun's throat.

　　In his opinion, Zhou Yun would definitely die here after this attack, and the space ring would be in his pocket. As long as he had this space ring, it didn't matter even if the three servants died.

　　While attacking, Young Master Qingliu seemed to have seen powerful secret books, weapons and elixirs in his mind beckoning to him!

　　call!

　　Just when Young Master Qingliu was filled with joy, a cold light suddenly pulled him back from his fantasy.

　　Zhou Yun, who had been paralyzed, dodged his attack extremely quickly. Moreover, the steel knife in Zhou Yun's hand was already slashing towards his head with a tremendous force!

　　For a moment, Master Qingliu was a little confused. Wasn't Zhou Yun paralyzed by his black ant poison and unable to move flexibly? How could it become like this! ?

　　The threat of death loomed, and in desperation, Master Qingliu could only raise his hand to block it!

　　puff!

　　Blood spurted out, and Zhou Yun's knife actually cut off the left arm of Master Qingliu. The knife's force was not weakened at all, and it directly cut a huge wound in front of Master Qingliu's body!

　　The wound extended from the clavicle to the waist, and blood immediately gushed out!

　　"Ah!" He had never expected such a sudden change to happen. Master Qingliu felt severe pain in his body and immediately screamed.

　　There was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, and Zhou Yun did not give Master Qingliu a chance to breathe. He swung his sword horizontally, wanting to cut Master Qingliu's throat!

　　Although it was painful, Master Qingliu's cultivation was higher than Zhou Yun's after all. Feeling the threat of death, Master Qingliu actually spurted out a stream of black blood with a foul smell from his mouth!

　　This black blood must be something special. Although Zhou Yun knew that a small part of his body could absorb the venom, he still didn't want to get involved with this poisonous blood.

　　Giving up the attack, Zhou Yun dodged the poisonous blood with his body. When he turned to attack, the figure of Master Qingliu had disappeared from the spot.

　　"You're lucky to run fast." Looking at the dense forest that had become quiet again, Zhou Yun snorted coldly and put away the three-forged steel knife in his hand.

　　As for the place where he was originally standing, the ground that was sprayed with Master Qingliu's blood, all the vegetation and flowers had turned black and rotted, and even the land underneath had become charred.

　　Looking at the situation on the ground, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. Fortunately, he dodged the attack, otherwise, considering that the mysterious little piece on his body could dissolve the poison, it would definitely not be a pleasant experience.

　　"Huh? What is this?" The battle was over. In order to prevent any further accidents, Zhou Yun prepared to leave immediately. Just as Zhou Yun was about to turn around, a blue thread-bound book on the ground appeared in front of Zhou Yun.

　　Recalling the battle just now, after the knife that cut off Qingliu Gongzi's arm and seriously injured his chest fell, it seemed that a blue object did fall down. It seems that this is this book.

　　Although Mr. Qingliu was a cruel person, his cultivation was still good. The things left behind on him were probably not ordinary items.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately picked up the little blue book.

　　"Qidong Bu, it seems that it is indeed a secret book of footwork practice. The method that Young Master Qingliu used just now should be this one." Looking at the name on the blue book, Zhou Yun nodded silently.

　　Today's battle came very suddenly and was a bit thrilling, but Zhou Yun gained a lot. He obtained a most needed bone-training technique and a good-looking pneumatic step technique. With these two techniques, Zhou Yun's cultivation and combat capabilities will be greatly enhanced.

　　"Although Young Master Qingliu was severely injured by me, there is no guarantee that he will not use the power of Wanshengmen to deal with me. Now the most urgent thing is to leave here as soon as possible and head north along the Black Dragon Mountains. The farther the better." After obtaining the long-needed bone training secret book, although Zhou Yun wanted to start practicing immediately, now is really not the time. After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun immediately packed up his things and started heading north along the Black Dragon Mountains!

　　Because he wanted to completely get rid of the possible threat posed by Young Master Qingliu, Zhou Yun did not stop along the way, nor did he choose to move forward in the dense forest. Instead, he walked out of the dense forest and headed north along the outer area of ​​the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　After three days, Zhou Yun, who had been busy traveling, had already reached a distance of six hundred miles.

　　The place where Zhou Yun is now no longer belongs to Nanshan Province, but to the western region of the Tianyuan Dynasty, in Xichuan Province.

　　"Now there should be no threat of pursuers, so I can practice in peace. When the food and fresh water are used up, I can find a small town to replenish them." After running for three days in a row, even Zhou Yun felt a little tired with his current cultivation level.

　　Zhou Yun found a small rocky mountain in the dense forest of the Black Dragon Mountains and chose a semi-enclosed crevice on the mountain as a temporary resting place.

　　After the previous battle in which he was chased by Young Master Qingliu, Zhou Yun had realized more urgently the importance of choosing a suitable place to stay.

　　There is a large open space in front of this crevice, which is connected to a small river nearby. There is a large dense jungle behind it. If people chasing Zhou Yun arrive, Zhou Yun can escape easily.

　　After choosing a place, Zhou Yun took out some dry food and water, and had a simple meal and drink to replenish his strength. Then, Zhou Yun took out the book of Crazy Bear Fist and started to browse through it.

　　The three levels of internal and external training in martial arts practice are training the skin, bones and tendons. These three levels are nothing more than training the body to its strongest functions through some breath circulation and moves.

　　Each move in Tiger Fist will make the skin and flesh become tough and strong after practicing, while bone training requires the warrior's bones to be as hard as steel, so the moves required for training are naturally different.

　　After quickly browsing through the booklet in his hand, Zhou Yun had already memorized the techniques and luck methods of the Wild Bear Fist.

　　There are thirteen moves in this Crazy Bear Fist. By practicing these moves continuously and combining them with luck, you can constantly temper your bones.

　　After browsing, Zhou Yun put away the secret book, took a deep breath, and began to practice in the small open space on the side of the crevice.

　　Chapter 36: Clues

　　"Crazy bear hug!"

　　"A mad bear crashes into the mountain!"

　　"Giant Power Run!"

　　On the open space in the crevice of the rock, Zhou Yun practiced the moves and breathing methods in the Crazy Bear Fist Manual one by one. Every time he practiced a move, several bones in Zhou Yun's body would make crackling sounds. Zhou Yun knew that this was a manifestation of the bones constantly increasing in strength under the stimulation of the martial arts.

　　An hour passed, and Zhou Yun finally performed all the moves of the Wild Bear Fist. After blocking the last move, Zhou Yun slowly stood still, a long breath came out of his mouth, and his bones all over his body made a dense crackling sound.

　　After this noise, Zhou Yun clearly felt that the bones in his whole body had become much stronger. Even when he walked, his feet on the ground felt more stable than before.

　　Feeling the changes in his body, Zhou Yun looked at his clenched fists and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

　　"This progress is too fast. I just practiced for the first time and the improvement is so obvious. When I practiced Tiger Fist and entered the Skin Training Stage, it took me more than half a year to feel such obvious improvement."

　　"Also, why didn't my body feel any pain when I was practicing the Wild Bear Fist for the first time? These difficult moves should be very painful at the beginning, because the warrior's body cannot reach the strength to launch these moves in a short period of time, but I don't have such a problem at all."

　　Standing in the crevice of the rock, Zhou Yun carefully felt his physical condition, and questions came to his mind one after another.

　　"Maybe, it's really the effect of that small piece, otherwise it would be impossible for me to break through to the bone training realm without the bone training method at that time." The accumulation of strange situations finally allowed Zhou Yun to analyze the key point of the matter. All these changes are probably inseparable from that mysterious small piece.

　　"What on earth is this thing? How can it be so magical?" Thinking of this, Zhou Yun couldn't help but take out the mysterious little piece from the space ring.

　　Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Zhou Yun began to look at it carefully.

　　As before, there is no change on the surface of this small piece.

　　“Not only can it improve your cultivation, but even if you do nothing in the inky space inside the small piece, just feel that world and integrate into that world, your cultivation will grow rapidly. The most important thing is that this small piece can also absorb toxins, which is really amazing.” Zhou Yun couldn't help muttering as he looked at the inky piece in his hand.

　　This small piece that was accidentally picked up during that assessment really became Zhou Yun's greatest opportunity. However, what made Zhou Yun helpless was that he still couldn't figure out what this small piece was.

　　After looking for a long time without any results, Zhou Yun finally stopped wasting time and forced himself out of all doubts. He took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.

　　Holding the ink-colored piece tightly in his hand, Zhou Yun slowly closed his eyes, and his whole body fell into an ethereal state.

　　As Zhou Yun calmed down, his consciousness withdrew again, and he once again entered the mysterious inky space in that small piece.

　　As soon as he entered that inky world, Zhou Yun couldn’t help but be surprised!

　　"This! What on earth is going on!?"

　　Zhou Yun once again entered the mysterious space in the inky piece of paper. At this time, all the nobles in Heyang City who had been monitoring Zhou Yun were confused.

　　In the Han family's mansion, the eldest son Han Long and the second son Han Hu were sitting in the main hall, listening to their subordinates' reports with frosty faces.

　　"Master, Second Master, this is what happened. We have been secretly monitoring Zhou Yun's yard these days, but we haven't found any trace of Zhou Yun. Zhou Xue rarely shows up either. She usually stays in the room and rarely walks around in the yard." In the center of the hall, a man dressed as a servant of the Han family was kneeling there, reporting respectfully.

　　Bang!

　　Han Long slapped his chair hard and said angrily, "How is it possible? Didn't Zhou Yun get a place in the Shenwei training camp? How could he not practice hard? He stays in the house all day long. Isn't he afraid that his cultivation will regress? What are your people doing? Is the prosecution unfavorable? "

　　As we all know, martial artists' training requires a lot of noise. In addition to spending some time in meditation and regulating their breathing, and refining their internal energy, martial artists still need to spend more time practicing boxing in the open air, strengthening their bodies, and becoming familiar with moves and practical skills.

　　Originally, the Han family wanted to monitor Zhou Yun's newly purchased yard to investigate Zhou Yun's movements and then look for opportunities to deal with Zhou Yun. However, they didn't expect that after sending people to monitor for so many days, they didn't find any movements of Zhou Yun in the Zhou family's yard. In fact, Zhou Yun never showed up at all.

　　Han Long is also the descendant of a bandit. Even now he often commits murders and robberies in secret. His hands are stained with blood, so Han Long's power is naturally strong.

　　After being yelled at by Han Long, the servant was immediately shocked and kowtowed repeatedly, "Master, I dare not do that. How dare we neglect your orders? These days, we even take turns to rest. Even in the middle of the night, there are people on duty. We dare not neglect it at all!"

　　Sitting in the first seat at the bottom, Han Hu narrowed his eyes slightly.

　　Before Han Long could speak, Han Hu spoke first, "Okay, I know you all work hard, go to the account office and take out three hundred taels of silver to distribute to the brothers, and then let them continue to monitor them, go down."

　　"Thank you, Second Master. Thank you, First Master!" After receiving the amnesty, the servant hurriedly expressed his gratitude and retreated in two steps at a time.

　　Bang!

　　Han Long angrily threw a teacup to the ground, his face gloomy, sitting there sulking. His son Han Qian was still lying in bed, unable to get up, and there was still no clue about the murderer Zhou Yun. How could he not be angry?

　　But Han Hu seemed to have thought of something and a slight smile appeared on his face.

　　Standing up from the chair, Han Hu walked to Han Long and said slowly, "Brother, don't be angry. This is probably not Xiao Qi's fault. In my opinion, Zhou Yun is probably not in Heyang now."

　　"Not in Heyang? What does that mean? Where can he go if not in Heyang?" After hearing Han Hu's words, Han Long was shocked. This possibility had never appeared in his mind. Now hearing Han Hu say this, Han Long immediately raised several questions.

　　Han Hu chuckled and said, "Zhou Yun hasn't appeared in the past five or six days. This is very abnormal. Judging from Zhou Yun's efforts and the crisis he is facing now, he probably can't stand not practicing for a day, let alone for such a long time. Besides us, there are several other noble families who are also monitoring the Zhou family. I heard that even the Zhao family in the provincial capital is paying close attention to Zhou Yun's movements."

　　"So many people are paying attention to Zhou Yun, but we can't find any information about him. Does that mean that all the people from noble families are useless? The only reason is that Zhou Yun had already anticipated this situation, so as soon as the martial arts exam was over, he secretly left Heyang City and didn't give us any chance to monitor him."

　　It must be said that Han Hu was very meticulous and quick to react. Zhou Yun originally thought that these nobles who wanted to harm him would have to wait at least ten days to find out that he was no longer in Heyang, but Han Hu actually noticed it in just six days.

　　After hearing Han Hu's words, Han Long nodded silently, "What you said makes sense. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true. Although Zhou Yun is of humble origin, he does have some talent. He was able to guess that we would harm him and leave in advance. This is a brilliant move. However, if he wants to get rid of our Han family so easily, he really underestimates us."

　　With a sinister smile on his face, Han Long suddenly said in a serious tone, "Second brother, ask the painter at home to quickly draw a portrait of Zhou Yun, and then spread it to the Black Alliance's information network. In the surrounding provinces, as long as anyone can provide Zhou Yun's whereabouts, we will pay a reward of 20,000 taels of silver!"

　　"Don't worry, big brother. I will definitely handle this matter properly. I was worried that if Zhou Yun was in Heyang City, we would have to compete with other families and face the Li family if we wanted to snatch his treasures. Now that Zhou Yun is out, all of this will not be a problem." With a low chuckle, Han Hu turned around and left.

　　Watching Han Hu leave, Han Long leaned back in his chair and relaxed, his rough fingers lightly tapping on the armrest.

　　"Qian'er, don't worry, Dad will definitely help you avenge this great hatred." Thinking of Han Qian, whose heart was severely broken by Zhou Yun and is still half-dead, a hint of coldness flashed across Han Long's face again, and his tone became cold.

　　The Han family in Heyang City has made a breakthrough in finding clues about Zhou Yun, but at this time, Zhou Yun, who is deep in the Black Dragon Mountains, knows nothing about it.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun was deeply shocked by what he saw in the inky world!

　　Still on the vast and boundless land, a white, somewhat illusory figure was lying there quietly.

　　In the almost boundless ink-colored world, this figure seemed somewhat illusory and real, as if it could disappear at any time.

　　And this figure was Zhou Yun!

　　"How is this possible? I actually condensed a body in this world!?" Zhou Yun also felt incredible at this time. Regarding everything in front of him, Zhou Yun didn't even know what to do.

　　After entering this inky world as usual today, Zhou Yun immediately discovered strangely that he actually had some feelings!

　　After a careful inspection, Zhou Yun was shocked to find that he actually had a physical body in this world. Although he was just lying quietly on the ground like a newborn baby and could not move at all, this discovery was undoubtedly shocking!

　　Now Zhou Yun couldn't move at all. He could only see his hands placed beside him, and feel that his entire chest, abdomen and the front of his legs were tightly pressed against the ground and he couldn't move at all.

　　"Hmm!" Zhou Yun tried hard to see if he could stand up. Now he was full of curiosity about this inky world and wanted to get up immediately to see what this world looked like.

　　However, despite his efforts, the body he condensed could not move at all, and even moving a finger was a luxury.

　　After trying it once, Zhou Yun gave up this plan.

　　"Since I still can't move at all, I might as well do it the same way as before, relax my mind and stay here to see if there will be any changes." His body couldn't move at all and he couldn't do anything. After thinking for a while and realizing that there was no other way, Zhou Yun gave up trying.

　　With his eyes closed, Zhou Yun lay quietly on the ground, thinking of nothing, just allowing himself to quietly merge with this inky world.

　　As Zhou Yun's consciousness became ethereal again, in the inky world, streams of spiritual energy slowly gathered again and were injected into Zhou Yun's body. As time passed, Zhou Yun's body in the inky world began to become real little by little.

　　Chapter 37: Saigon Trading Company

　　This inky earth seemed to have a mysterious magic. Once Zhou Yun fell into it and relaxed his mind, his consciousness would be absorbed into it, and he would not be able to wake up for a long time.

　　Lying quietly on the ground of the inky world, the surrounding spiritual energy continued to gather, and Zhou Yun's body gradually became real.

　　Originally, Zhou Yun's body was still very illusory, his facial features and some subtle parts were blurry, but with the continuous condensation of spiritual energy, Zhou Yun's body became more and more real.

　　The facial features are becoming more and more realistic, and the muscle lines on the body are becoming clearer.

　　After an unknown amount of time, a weak stream of air finally spurted out of the nose of Zhou Yun, who was lying there.

　　When Zhou Yun first entered this inky world, he was just a wisp of consciousness. After several rounds of fusion practice, Zhou Yun slowly condensed his physical body. At this time, Zhou Yun's body had been completely condensed, and he took his first breath.

　　After exhaling that breath, Zhou Yun's body, which was lying on the ground, finally moved slightly. Although it was only a change in the chest cavity caused by exhaling a trace of turbid air, it was already the first step for Zhou Yun to condense his body.

　　After exhaling the gas, about an incense stick of time passed before Zhou Yun inhaled again.

　　hiss……

　　After inhaling a breath into his abdominal cavity, Zhou Yun's chest, which had originally collapsed, immediately swelled up, and his body also rose slightly.

　　After completing the first breath, Zhou Yun's consciousness finally returned again, and like a newborn baby, he slowly opened his eyes.

　　As he opened his eyes, the world in front of Zhou Yun immediately became clear.

　　Compared to the first time he entered this ink-colored world, Zhou Yun's vision was now much wider and clearer than before. The ink-colored mud beneath him was similar in texture to red mud, except that it was ink-colored.

　　And wherever the sight goes, there is only patches of inky black space, with no difference at all.

　　Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yun felt his own breathing.

　　It took Zhou Yun a full minute to completely exhale the gas in his body with a simple exhalation. After an incense stick of time, Zhou Yun began to inhale again. The gas inhaled through the nose slowly entered Zhou Yun's body through the chest cavity, just like nectar and energy, quickly filling every part of Zhou Yun's body!

　　After taking a breath, Zhou Yun immediately felt that his body was more real and stronger than before.

　　Lying there quietly, Zhou Yun no longer thought about other things, but breathed slowly according to the natural rhythm of his body.

　　The air in this world seemed to be full of power. With every breath, Zhou Yun felt his body become more real, and the original feeling of heaviness also weakened.

　　Judging from the situation, Zhou Yun will be able to stand up after some time.

　　Just as Zhou Yun was about to continue crawling there, waiting for enough time to gather strength to stand up, a sense of danger suddenly came over him.

　　"No, there is something going on in the cracks!" Zhou Yun had experienced this before. The last time he was in that small black space, he had encountered a dangerous situation outside. Once the main body was in danger, Zhou Yun in the black world could immediately feel it.

　　Zhou Yun quickly gathered his mental will and instantly broke away from the inky space, and his consciousness returned to his body.

　　As soon as he regained consciousness, Zhou Yun jumped up immediately, holding the three-forged steel knife tightly in his hand. Sticking to the rock wall in the crevice, Zhou Yun calmed his breathing and became fully alert.

　　His bright eyes quickly checked all the surrounding situations. Strangely, Zhou Yun did not find any hostile threats nearby. The crevice was still as quiet as when Zhou Yun first came in, with no changes at all.

　　"How could this be? That feeling is not wrong. There must be some danger. I can only feel it in the inky space, and my consciousness can also get out of it. But how come nothing happens?" Feeling the quiet environment around him, Zhou Yun said something strange in his heart.

　　Gurgle…Gurgle…

　　Just when Zhou Yun was wondering, his stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound. Along with the sound, an extremely unbearable feeling of hunger also came.

　　Only at this moment did Zhou Yun realize what had pulled him out of that mysterious little piece of inky space.

　　In fact, there was no danger outside at all, but his body, sitting cross-legged in the crevice of the rock, was extremely hungry.

　　As soon as this feeling of hunger came, Zhou Yun immediately felt his whole body was empty and weak. He quickly took out the last bit of food from the space ring and began to eat and drink in big mouthfuls.

　　Zhou Yun felt better after eating the last five pancakes and a pot of water, but the hunger in his stomach still lingered.

　　Zhou Yun knew that it was time to find a town to stay for a while. According to Zhou Yun's feeling about his body, with his cultivation level, not eating for three or four days would not have such a big impact. I'm afraid that this time the consciousness merged into the black piece for more than ten days. In this way, it has been more than ten days since Zhou Yun came out of Heyang City.

　　Now is the time to write a letter to Jun Yao. Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately packed up his things, washed his face in the stream, and turned to walk outside the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　After walking diagonally for more than 30 miles, Zhou Yun finally saw an official road. The official road meant that there were towns connected. Now this place was the scope of Xichuan Province. Zhou Yun didn't know anyone here, so naturally he wouldn't get into any trouble.

　　After all, Zhou Yun now looks like a ten-year-old warrior, with ordinary clothes and equipment, nothing that can attract attention.

　　After walking for more than two hours, Zhou Yun finally arrived at a small town.

　　This is a small town on the edge of Xichuan Province, called Xiqing, a town with more than a thousand residents.

　　Like all the towns along the Black Dragon Mountains, although there are not many residents, it has majestic city walls, and most of the residents here are hunters with tough character.

　　After living in the Black Dragon Mountains for more than ten days, Zhou Yun now has a unique cold aura of an adventurous warrior. He is not much different from the people in Xiqing Town.

　　Walking along the main road of Xiqing Town, after a while, Zhou Yun saw a shop called Saigon Trading Company.

　　According to the Black Dragon Notes, if you get something valuable in the Black Dragon Mountains, you can exchange it for money in the shops in the towns along the way. Saigon Shop, Nanyun Shop and Pingliang Shop are relatively formal shops along the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　After finding a secluded place with no one around, Zhou Yun immediately took out the eight sharp-clawed wolf beasts he had killed from his space ring.

　　Zhou Yun wrapped the bodies of the sharp-clawed wolf beasts with a huge piece of sackcloth and carried these things directly into the Saigon Trading Company.

　　It was noon time, there were not many people on the street, and there were not many customers in the store. As soon as Zhou Yun came in, he was immediately greeted by the waiter.

　　"Excuse me, young master. Are you here to sell something?" Upon seeing Zhou Yun, a young man in his twenties from the business immediately came up to him and helped Zhou Yun put down the sackcloth bag on his shoulder.

　　"Yes, there are several corpses of ferocious beasts in here. You can give an estimate of their price." Zhou Yun nodded and said.

　　"Okay, if you want to get rid of the corpses of these beasts, you should come to our Saigon Trading Company. Among the several major provinces along the Black Dragon Mountains, especially in Xichuan Province, there is really no place better than our Saigon Trading Company. I will help you drag your things in first, and then go and invite the shopkeeper for you." The young man greeted Zhou Yun warmly, then turned and pulled the sackcloth bag, and took Zhou Yun into a small meeting room.

　　After putting the linen bag in the small room, the young man said, "Young master, please sit down for a moment. I will ask the shopkeeper to come over. There is water and snacks on the table, as well as a price list of some of our store's items. If the young master wants to purchase some new things, our Saigon Store has them all."

　　"Thank you, I'll take a look myself." Zhou Yun nodded and spoke casually without any special expression.

　　After bowing to Zhou Yun, the waiter closed the door and walked out.

　　Although it was his first time to come to this small shop, Zhou Yun was not worried about the poison in the water. Just after dropping some water on his hand, Zhou Yun was completely sure that these things were not poisonous. Although he didn't know why that mysterious piece of paper had the ability to absorb all toxins, after the battle with Qingliu Gongzi, Zhou Yun was no longer afraid of some poisons.

　　Sitting quietly in the chair, Zhou Yun ate some snacks while looking at the booklet on the table.

　　The booklet records some of the business projects of the Saigon Trading Company. In addition to recycling the corpses of wild beasts and medicinal materials, the Saigon Trading Company also recycles some exquisite weapons, armor, and even secret manuals.

　　The list of goods supplied by Saigon Trading Company included armor made from the furs of various wild beasts, various weapons, elixirs for improving cultivation and recovering from injuries, some beast elixirs that could be used to practice and improve cultivation, and even some secret manuals needed for training the skin, bones, and tendons.

　　Although the Tianyuan Dynasty had strict control over secret books, it only targeted secret books for internal training, that is, secret books that were sufficient for practitioners to train their organs, change their blood, and cleanse their marrow through the Book of Changes. However, some secret books for external training were not strictly managed.

　　Some secret books that can only support warriors to cultivate to the muscle training realm can still be traded on the market, but even such secret books are often very expensive.

　　Just like the dozen or so muscle-building secrets listed in the booklet, each one costs at least 50,000 taels of silver, which is not a small amount.

　　When he first entered the Black Dragon Mountains, Zhou Yun was still thinking that he could hunt ferocious beasts every day and save a lot of money after leaving the Black Dragon Mountains. However, after more than ten days, Zhou Yun realized that everything was not as simple as he thought.

　　Ferocious beasts are very cunning. If they are not sure of their chances, they will not show up easily. Human warriors also dare not go too deep into the Black Dragon Mountains. The reason why Zhou Yun was able to kill eight sharp-clawed wolf beasts at once that day was because those sharp-clawed wolf beasts originally thought they could hunt Zhou Yun, so they showed up.

　　If the power Zhou Yun displayed on the surface was too strong, these sharp-clawed wolf beasts would not appear at all. If some weaker warriors encountered these sharp-clawed wolf beasts, they would probably end up dead.

　　So, now Zhou Yun has come to the conclusion that making money is not easy.

　　Just as Zhou Yun was thinking, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man appeared in Zhou Yun's sight.

　　Chapter 38 Mysterious Place

　　As soon as he entered the door, the middle-aged man immediately clasped his fists towards Zhou Yun and said, "Little Master, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm Tang Feng, the shopkeeper of the Xiqing Town branch of the Saigon Commercial Bank."

　　"Hello, Shopkeeper Tang. My name is Zhou Yun. I'm an adventurous warrior. I just came back from the outskirts of the Black Dragon Mountains and brought some goods with me. I would like to ask you for an estimate of their price." Standing up from the chair, Zhou Yun clasped his fists in return while speaking.

　　Looking at the sack on the ground, Tang Feng smiled and said, "The things that Master Zhou Yun hunted should be in this sack. It looks like there are quite a lot of them. Can you show them to me?"

　　"Of course no problem." Zhou Yun responded and walked forward, leaned over and opened the sackcloth bag.

　　As soon as the knot of the package was untied, the linen pieces of the entire package immediately scattered around, revealing the contents.

　　On the piece of linen, eight sharp-clawed wolf beasts were placed there randomly. Since they had died for some time, the blood on their bodies had dried up. But even so, seeing eight sharp-clawed wolf beasts piled together here still gave a shocking feeling.

　　When Tang Feng saw the things on the linen piece, he immediately looked at Zhou Yun with a hint of respect.

　　"These sharp-clawed wolf beasts usually live in groups, with at least fifteen appearing at a time. Moreover, these beasts are cunning and difficult to deal with. It is not easy for Brother Zhou Yun to kill so many sharp-clawed wolf beasts by himself. I admire you." After observing the sharp-clawed wolf beasts that died in different ways, Tang Feng said to Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun smiled faintly and did not respond. Now he just wanted to finish his work. "Manager Tang, please help me see how much these things are worth. If possible, I want to finish them as soon as possible."

　　Looking at Zhou Yun's reaction, Tang Feng knew that Zhou Yun was probably not willing to stay here any longer.

　　Tang Feng has seen many such adventurous warriors. Being an adventurous warrior is a dangerous profession, and many adventurous warriors like to make friends, call on friends, and help each other to ensure safety. But there are also many adventurous warriors who like to keep a low profile, practice and make money quietly.

　　Obviously, Zhou Yun is the latter type.

　　After confirming this, Tang Feng stopped talking nonsense, "Well, the most valuable thing about this sharp-clawed wolf beast is its claws and the beast's Yuan Dan. Although it is only a beast in the skin training realm, the Yuan Dan is also valuable. The rest are some minor things like fur, internal organs, etc., which are not of much value. The claws and inner cores of these sharp-clawed wolf beasts are intact. We can buy them at the price of nine hundred taels of silver each."

　　"Well, nine hundred taels each, eight of them would be seven thousand two hundred taels. This price is fine, deal." After a silent calculation, Zhou Yun was quite satisfied with the price and nodded in agreement.

　　"Master Zhou Yun is a straightforward man. I will ask someone to pay you right away. Do you want silver ingots, purple gold coins, or silver notes?" Seeing Zhou Yun agreed, Tang Feng also showed a smile on his face. At this price, he could make a lot of money from this batch of sharp-clawed wolf beasts.

　　With the benefits in mind, Tang Feng's attitude towards Zhou Yun naturally became better.

　　"Take seventy purple gold coins, and exchange the remaining two hundred taels for silver ingots." After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun made a choice.

　　There are many coins in circulation in the Tianyuan Dynasty, and the value of each coin is different. Ten taels of ordinary silver ingots can be exchanged for one tael of gold. The purple gold coin specially refined by the government is equivalent to one hundred taels of silver, and the highest-level red gold coin can be exchanged for one thousand taels of silver.

　　In addition to these physical currencies, silver notes and gold notes are also protected by the Tianyuan Dynasty and can be circulated. Although silver notes are light and easy to carry, their disadvantage is that they are not strong enough and are easy to wear and tear. Zhou Yun is naturally not interested in this thing.

　　"Okay, wait a moment." Tang Feng nodded, turned around, opened the door, and called out to the outside, "Come here, move the goods to the back, and then go to the account office to get seventy purple gold coins and two hundred taels of silver ingots, and then send them over here."

　　"Okay!" As soon as the shopkeeper Tang Feng gave the order, several waiters came in immediately, tied up the bundle on the ground, and carried it out together.

　　While working at the Saigon Trading Company, the guys often saw the corpses of these ferocious beasts, so naturally they would not have any uncomfortable reactions.

　　All the bodies of the sharp-clawed wolf beasts had been carried out, and a clerk who looked like an accountant came in with a small tray in his hand. On the tray were seven bundles of purple gold coins sealed with red paper, and two rows of silver ingots, each weighing ten taels.

　　"Master Zhou Yun, here are your seventy purple gold coins and two hundred taels of silver ingots. Please count them." Tang Feng said as he took the tray and handed it to Zhou Yun.

　　Without counting, Zhou Yun directly put the things on the tray into the small bag he carried with him. "There's no need to count these. A big store like Saigon Commercial Bank must have its own rules for doing things ."

　　Tang Feng smiled apologetically and said, "Of course, the reputation of our Saigon Trading Company is still guaranteed."

　　Everything was done, so Zhou Yun naturally didn't want to stay here. He clasped his fists towards Tang Feng and said, "Boss Tang Feng, I still have some things to do, so I'll take my leave first. Thank you for your help."

　　"Master Zhou Yun, aren't you going to buy some things here? Our elixirs, beast elixirs, and some other items are all good. If you want to go into the Black Dragon Mountains again, it will be more convenient with these things." Tang Feng exclaimed in surprise when he saw that Zhou Yun was about to leave.

　　Waving his hand, Zhou Yun said, "No need. I probably won't go into the mountains again. Goodbye."

　　After saying goodbye, Zhou Yun walked out of the small room and quickly left the Saigon Trading Company.

　　In fact, there were some good things in the cargo list that he had just browsed, but Zhou Yun knew that money was very important to him now and could not be spent carelessly.

　　When he joins the army in the future, there will be many places where money will be needed, so Zhou Yun must start preparing now.

　　Besides, those beast elixirs and some healing pills are not what Zhou Yun needs at the moment. With that mysterious little piece, the recovery speed of Zhou Yun's wounds has caught up with the strongest pill. Moreover, with the help of that little piece, Zhou Yun's cultivation speed in the ink-colored space is much faster than practicing while meditating outside, so naturally he doesn't need the beast elixirs anymore.

　　As for other weapons, armor and the like, Zhou Yun cannot use them now.

　　After coming out of the Saigon Trading Company, Zhou Yun found an inn on the street and walked in.

　　Xiqing Town is also a small town relying on the Black Dragon Mountains. Naturally, there are many adventurous warriors in the town. In the lobby of the inn, teams of adventurous warriors sit together in twos and threes. Some drink silently, while others talk loudly. It is a lively scene.

　　"Waiter, find me a quiet room and bring some food up." Zhou Yun didn't like such a noisy environment, so he walked straight to the counter and spoke to the waiter inside.

　　"Okay, sir, please follow me." After agreeing, the waiter took Zhou Yun to the third floor, arranged a quiet room for Zhou Yun, and then closed the door and left.

　　Zhou Yun had stayed in the Black Dragon Mountains for half a month. Suddenly, he was in a spacious and bright room, and he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

　　But Zhou Yun quickly put this feeling aside, found some pieces of letter paper on the desk, and began to grind them.

　　Zhou Yun won’t be able to stay in Xiqing Town for long this time, so he must finish what he needs to do as soon as possible.

　　Soon, the ink was ground, Zhou Yun spread out the letter paper and began to write.

　　Junyao Love Mirror:

　　It has been almost a month since we parted in Heyang. I miss you so much. I wanted to write to you earlier, but due to some unexpected circumstances, I postponed it until now.

　　I will remember the agreement I made with your brother and will try my best to fulfill it. This is not giving up, but my willingness to try my best to fight for the chance to be with you.

　　I have passed the military examination and ranked first in Heyang City, so I can join the training camp of General Shenwei.

　　The Shenwei training camp is also in Gyeonggi, so I can come to see you then.

　　Jun Yao, don't hold a grudge against your brother because of the conflict that day. I understand his actions. Moreover, he didn't hurt me. On the contrary, that pill gave me a breakthrough in my cultivation.

　　I will be practicing near the Black Dragon Mountains for the next period of time, and will walk along the mountains to Jingji. I am now in Xiqing Town, and will pass through Pingliang, Xining and Chicheng in the future. I have given my sister your address in Jingji. If she needs to find me urgently, you can send the letter to these three cities.

　　Please take good care of yourself in Gyeonggi Province. See you in two and a half months.

　　Sincerely, Zhou Yun.

　　The time was short, and the content of Zhou Yun's letter was much less complicated. In the past few years, every time he and Jun Yao communicated, they would write a lot of content, talking about their lives and expressing their longing for each other. Only this time, Zhou Yun only used a few hundred words to finish the letter.

　　After folding the letter paper and sealing it, Zhou Yun wrote Lin Junyao's address in Beijing on the envelope.

　　At this time, the door of Zhou Yun's room was opened, and the waiter carrying food walked in.

　　"Master, here's the meal you ordered." The waiter politely greeted the guest after placing three side dishes and a large bowl of rice on the table.

　　"Thank you. Please help me deliver this letter. Remember, it must be delivered urgently." Picking up the sealed letter, Zhou Yun took out a silver ingot and handed it to the waiter together with the envelope.

　　Running errands for guests is also the job of these inn waiters. It is nothing more than delivering the new mail to the post station. Zhou Yun gave him ten taels of money, which was not only enough to deliver the mail, but also there was a lot left after paying for the meal and the room.

　　"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The waiter took Zhou Yun's letter with a nod and a bow, thanked him repeatedly, closed the door and walked out.

　　After the waiter closed the door, Zhou Yun immediately put all the purple gold coins in the package into the space ring. The package Zhou Yun carried was not strong. If it was damaged in the battle, it might not matter if a few silver coins fell out. If something as precious as purple gold coins fell out, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

　　After putting away his things, Zhou Yun started to eat. He could only stay in Xiqing Town for a few hours at most. After this meal, Zhou Yun would pack some dry food and go into the mountains again. There were still two and a half months before reporting to the Jingji Shenwei training camp. Now Zhou Yun had to work hard to improve himself every moment.

　　"There's movement! It's about to appear!"

　　"Hurry up! If you're late you'll miss it!"

　　Zhou Yun had only finished half of his meal when a loud noise came from the corridor. The whole inn was in chaos. Almost everyone was rushing out, shouting words like "strange vision" and "movement".

　　Noticing the chaos outside, Zhou Yun immediately remembered a record in the Black Dragon Notes. There seemed to be a mysterious place in the Black Dragon Mountains not far from Xiqing Town.

　　Chapter 39: White Mist on the Pond

　　Before the Tianyuan Dynasty ordered the abolition of all martial arts sects in the dynasty, there existed a martial arts sect with a transcendent status in Xichuan Province, and this martial arts sect was the Shadow Blade Sect.

　　Although the Shadow Blade Sect is not as good as the top-notch sects of the Tianyuan Dynasty such as the Liangyi Divine Sect and the Tianlong Temple, it is also an ancient sect with a great reputation in the Middle-earth Continent. Among them, the most powerful Shadowless Blade Sutra is the secret book that millions of warriors dream of.

　　The Black Dragon Notes recorded that when the Shadow Blade Sect was destroyed, although many of its treasures were taken away by the Tianyuan Dynasty, there were still many secret books and treasures that ended up in the Black Dragon Mountains. And the location of that treasure was near Xiqing Town.

　　When Zhou Yun arrived in Xiqing Town just now, he already felt that there were many adventurous warriors here. Apart from those fixed adventurous warrior groups based in Xiqing Town, the others were probably people who intended to obtain the treasure of Shadow Blade Sect.

　　According to legend, the Shadow Blade Sect has a huge number of treasures, including not only various powerful sword manuals, but also a large number of magical weapons, finished elixirs and prescriptions.

　　According to the Black Dragon's Notes, there are always some warriors who can get some unexpected gains in this area. As time goes by, more and more adventurous warriors gather here to gain some benefits.

　　Feeling the chaos outside, Zhou Yun thought silently, "Although I now have the secret manuals for training bones and tendons, they are all boxing techniques. I don't have a powerful sword secret manual. It's still not possible to go on the battlefield without weapons. I should also go and take a look at the secret treasures of the Shadow Sword Sect. Maybe if I'm lucky, I can get one or two good secret manuals."

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun no longer had the heart to continue eating. He hurriedly packed up his things, bought some dry food and fresh water from the waiter of the inn, and then left the inn directly.

　　Xiqing Town at this moment was completely different from when Zhou Yun first arrived. All the people were like ants that had learned that rain was coming, and they all started to move. Not only some adventurer teams, but even some of the natives of Xiqing Town had picked up their weapons and rushed towards the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　Looking from afar, in the depths of the Black Dragon Mountains in the distance, a thick white fog had risen up at some point, looking extremely mysterious.

　　The white mist had a very large range and rose to a very high altitude. It seemed not far away from a distance, but Zhou Yun knew that the area where the white mist was located was probably deep into the middle of the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　"It seems that this treasure is not easy to obtain. It is such a deep place. If we really go in, let alone the mechanisms guarding the treasure, those terrifying beasts alone will definitely be difficult to deal with." Looking at the area where the fog was, Zhou Yun thought for a moment, thinking silently in his heart.

　　There are already some level 3 or even level 4 beasts in the middle of the Black Dragon Mountains. This is equivalent to the training of human warriors to strengthen their muscles and even to train their organs and blood. In addition, the fighting power of beasts is stronger than that of humans. With Zhou Yun's current strength, if he encounters a beast of that level, he will probably be killed in one encounter.

　　"We must not approach it rashly. We'd better go and take a look first. If there is a chance, we can look for one or two treasures. If there is no chance, we can't force our way in." After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun already had a plan in mind.

　　Following at the end of the crowd, Zhou Yun slowly walked towards the direction of the fog.

　　There were many warriors following the mist to the Black Dragon Mountains, some in groups of three or five, some in groups of more than ten, and of course, there were also warriors like Zhou Yun who were alone. Along the way, almost no one talked to each other, and all of them looked alert, always on guard against the people around them.

　　Mixed in the crowd, Zhou Yun also approached the Black Dragon Mountains slowly and low-key. At this time, Zhou Yun was not in a hurry to separate from others. After all, there were many warrior teams here, and these warrior teams were afraid of each other, so no one would attack openly.

　　But if Zhou Yun separated himself from the crowd, he would most likely be followed by some malicious warrior teams. Only by entering the dense forest under the Black Dragon Mountains could he find an opportunity to quietly leave the main group.

　　Following the large army into the dense forest under the Black Dragon Mountains, Zhou Yun immediately found an opportunity to separate from the other warrior teams.

　　When entering a dense forest, it is best to act alone. Otherwise, even if you come across some treasure, Zhou Yun will not be able to gain any advantage amid the scramble.

　　After more than ten days of training in that mysterious little space, plus practicing the Wild Bear Fist, Zhou Yun's cultivation is now close to the middle stage of bone training. With such a level of cultivation, he is already a mid-level or above expert in an ordinary adventure warrior team.

　　With this level of cultivation, Zhou Yun dared to enter the Black Dragon Mountains to search for treasure. If he didn't have this level of cultivation, it would be difficult to come to this place, let alone search for treasure, and even to save his life.

　　Walking slowly in the dense forest, three hours later, Zhou Yun arrived at the center of the dense forest at the foot of the Black Dragon Mountains. This area is not the real Black Dragon Mountains, but only the forest area along the Black Dragon Mountains. However, this area has begun to have the first-level ferocious beasts in the Skin Training Realm.

　　Climbing up a big tree nimbly, Zhou Yun looked at the Black Dragon Mountains from afar.

　　The location halfway up the Black Dragon Mountains in the distance still looks far away. From this position, it is only slightly closer than the city.

　　Zhou Yun frowned slightly and thought to himself, "It's just as I thought. The foggy place is at least five or six days away from here. The Black Dragon Mountains are not that easy to climb. If we don't encounter any high-level beasts at the halfway point, it's fine. But if a beast at the level of refining organs and exchanging blood appears, I'm afraid dozens of warriors who have trained their muscles and bones will be killed."

　　"Let's find a place to practice nearby. This treasure is really not that easy to get." After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yun had already made a decision in his heart. Now the fog has just risen, and the teams of adventurous warriors who have come here are those who happened to be in Xiqing Town. Although there are some masters in these teams, they are still not good enough in the end.

　　Zhou Yun believed that at this time, the news of the strange phenomenon in Xiqing Town had probably spread like snowflakes, and in the future, countless teams of powerful warriors would arrive one after another.

　　First, find a secluded place here to practice, and then work hard to practice the Wild Bear Fist to get to the middle stage of bone training. Then, study the Qi-dynamic steps learned from Young Master Qingliu to enhance your combat capability. After seven days, follow the main group into the mountains. It should be much safer by then.

　　Having made plans, Zhou Yun immediately wanted to get down from the tree and find a safe place. At this moment, a cloud of white mist in the distance suddenly caught Zhou Yun's attention.

　　"Hmm? Why is there white fog in this place? Could it be a scattered treasure hiding place?" The location where the white fog was located was not far from Zhou Yun, only three or four hundred meters away, and the direction was far away from the road that many warriors took to enter the mountain just now.

　　The white mist was exactly the same color as the mist halfway up the mountain. When Zhou Yun saw the mist, a hint of joy immediately arose in his heart.

　　"Whatever happens, let's go over and take a look first."

　　Zhou Yun did as he said. He looked carefully again and confirmed the direction. Then he quickly climbed down from the tree and began to approach the fog.

　　After walking quietly for about a cup of tea, Zhou Yun finally saw the fog.

　　It was a small pond with a radius of about five meters. There were several large rocks behind the pond, and the mist was rising from above the pond.

　　"This pond... is a little strange." After taking a look from a distance, Zhou Yun immediately noticed something unusual. The placement of the stones around the pond gave Zhou Yun an indescribable strange feeling, and the trees around the pond were extremely dense, making it difficult to pass through.

　　If you want to get close to the pool, you must find a path through the dense bushes.

　　"It seems that I can only climb to a higher place and take a look. I can tell from mid-air whether there is a road or not." Realizing that this pool of water covered with mist might also be a treasure hiding place of the Shadow Blade Sect, Zhou Yun had to go there. After a little thought, Zhou Yun had come up with a solution.

　　After looking around, Zhou Yun immediately found a thick tree that was more than 20 meters tall. Putting the three-forged steel knife in his hand on his back, Zhou Yun spit into his palm, then quickly climbed up the tree.

　　Zhou Yun climbed to about 17 or 18 meters, close to the top of the tree, and then he looked back. From this position, everything around the pool below was clearly within Zhou Yun's sight.

　　"Well, the road ahead is blocked. It's full of thorns and bushes. There is only a passage at the back that can get close to the edge of the pool." After looking down for a while, Zhou Yun immediately found a path that could approach the pool covered with mist.

　　Memorizing the path in his mind, Zhou Yun stepped down from the big tree and began to walk along the path he had chosen to the back of the pool, then approached the pool along a narrow and difficult path.

　　The area of ​​the pool was slightly larger than Zhou Yun expected. From a distance, it looked only five meters in radius, but up close it was twice as large. Thick white fog floated above the pool, and the periphery of the pool was full of dense thorns. There was only one entrance to the pool, right in front of Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun walked over slowly and only squatted down carefully after confirming that there were no fluctuations in qi and blood around him, carefully observing the pool of water in front of him.

　　The water in the pond was very clear, but for some reason, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see the bottom of the pond.

　　"Is it just an ordinary pool of water? But why can't I see the bottom of such clear water?" Standing on the edge of the pool, Zhou Yun observed silently, with a special sense of vigilance in his heart.

　　Although the pool of water looked calm, it gave Zhou Yun a very dangerous feeling, as if there was something terrifying in it.

　　After practicing Tiger Fist for a long time and gaining higher and higher skills, Zhou Yun has developed a keen sense of perception. When some potential danger approaches, Zhou Yun can always detect it quickly.

　　The pool of water in front of him gave Zhou Yun a sense of danger.

　　The fog here is exactly the same color as the fog halfway up the Black Dragon Mountain Range. I think it should be a scattered treasure hiding spot of the Shadow Blade Sect. But there is no special mark around. If there is a treasure, where would it be hidden?

　　After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun stretched out his hand slightly, and a ten-liang silver ingot was immediately taken out from the ring and came into Zhou Yun's hand.

　　Silently feeling the weight of the silver ingot, Zhou Yun threw the silver in his hand directly into the pool in front of him.

　　I concentrated on following the path of the silver ingot's descent, and suddenly, a slight crashing sound was heard, and the silver ingot stopped sinking at the same time.

　　"There's something underneath!" Zhou Yun's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the trajectory of the silver ingot falling.

　　Chapter 40: Buildings in the Water

　　In the Black Dragon Mountains, Zhou Yun had already found some clues in a pool of water covered with white mist, and at nightfall, a group of mysterious people had also arrived in Nanyun City.

　　Baihualou in Nanyun City is the highest-end restaurant in Nanyun City. Usually, those who come here to consume are adventurous warriors with high cultivation and some local people with high status.

　　Different from other restaurants, Baihualou is the only place in Nanyun City that is open day and night without interruption.

　　Nanyun City is also obviously different from other places. It is located on the edge of the Tianyuan Dynasty and is more chaotic than ordinary places. Various underground sects often make some goods handovers and secret transactions in Baihua Tower. The prevalence of a large number of underground transactions has also made Baihua Tower prosperous.

　　It was late at night and the entire Nanyun City was already quiet, with only the lights in Baihua Tower still bright.

　　On the street in front of Baihua Tower, two carriages drove over and stopped in front of Baihua Tower.

　　The door opened and several men immediately jumped out of the carriage. A waiter from Baihua Tower also came to greet them.

　　"Have you made a reservation?" The waiter asked respectfully as he walked to the carriage. Although Baihualou was open day and night, there were not many vacant rooms. Many big shots in Nanyun City liked to book a room here and would not return it even if they did not come.

　　"We are the Han family from Tianhe Province, looking for Master Qingliu of Wanshengmen." The leader of this group of people was none other than Han Hu, the second son of the Han family. He looked completely different from when he was in the Han family. This time when he came out to do business, Han Hu no longer had the peaceful look he had when he was in the Han family.

　　Once these bandits step out of their homes and put down their so-called aristocratic airs, they will immediately turn into brutal devils.

　　Although they were from Tianhe Province, this group of Han family members looked more like people from Nanyun City than the natives of Nanyun City.

　　Hearing the word "Han family", the waiter's expression changed, and he said quickly, "Excuse me, gentlemen. Master Qingliu is waiting inside."

　　"Lead the way." He waved his hand casually, signaling the waiter to lead the way, and Han Hu walked in with the Han family's people.

　　Going straight up to the third floor of Baihua Tower and passing through a long corridor, the waiter stopped in front of a private room called Mingyue Pavilion.

　　"Gentlemen, Master Qingliu is inside. If you have any instructions, just ring the bell. I'll go down first." They had already arrived at the place, and the waiter clasped his fists and bowed to Han Hu.

　　"Okay, I'll call you if there's anything." Nodding, Han Hu casually reached into his sleeve with his right hand, and a purple gold coin appeared in his hand.

　　He threw it casually, and the purple gold coin was caught by the waiter.

　　Seeing the glittering purple gold coin in his hand, the waiter immediately showed an ecstatic look on his face. It's not like he has never seen customers tipping him, but it's rare to see a purple gold coin at the first try. This purple gold coin is equivalent to a hundred pieces of silver!

　　After thanking the waiter repeatedly, the waiter quickly retreated. He knew that he could not stay here. If he accidentally overheard the conversation between the guests, he might encounter an unexpected accident.

　　Seeing the waiter running away, Han Hu turned around and pushed open the door in front of him.

　　In the room, the wine and food had already been prepared. The whole room was spacious and luxurious. Next to the main seat, a one-armed young man was sitting there with a gloomy expression.

　　"This must be Young Master Qingliu of Wanshengmen. I'm Han Hu from Tianhe Province. Did you accept our bounty mission before?" Han Hu spoke immediately when he saw the one-armed young man. While speaking, Han Hu walked over and sat down on the reserved main seat.

　　Ten days ago, the Han family had already issued a mission to find Zhou Yun in the Black Alliance, and attached a portrait of Zhou Yun. The Black Alliance was an alliance formed by all underground forces in the entire southwest region. Although this alliance was loose, the information channels were extremely powerful. All kinds of gossip, finding people and treasures, hiring murders, etc. could be achieved in the Black Alliance.

　　The Han family came from a family of bandits and had a certain status in the Black Alliance. Although Young Master Qingliu was only a peripheral disciple of the Wansheng Sect, he had also reached the level where he could receive some of the news from the Black Alliance.

　　Although Young Master Qingliu is from the Wansheng Sect, he is not a core disciple. Moreover, the Han family has considerable influence in the underground world. In addition, they are a prominent family canonized by the Tianyuan Dynasty. Naturally, their status is higher than that of Young Master Qingliu, so it is natural for them to sit in the main seat.

　　"Well, I met Zhou Yun, the one you are looking for, more than ten days ago." Nodding, Master Qingliu spoke slowly, with an obvious expression of resentment still remaining on his face while he spoke.

　　The battle with Zhou Yun almost made him lose everything. All his servants died, and the secret book he got from Wanshengmen was lost, which led to him being expelled from the sect. In addition, one of his arms was chopped off by Zhou Yun, and now he is half disabled.

　　"Half a month ago? Can you still determine his location now?" After hearing what Master Qingliu said, Han Hu frowned slightly.

　　This time, he had two things to do. One was to kill Zhou Yun, and the second was to take back the treasure box of the Great General Shenwei from Zhou Yun.

　　After receiving a response to the news released in the Black Alliance, Han Hu immediately brought his men here. However, he did not expect that the information provided by Master Qingliu was actually from half a month ago. Half a month had passed, and with Zhou Yun's cautiousness, he might have disappeared by now.

　　"No problem, I have guessed his route. I have been keeping an eye on his whereabouts for some time, and I have mobilized some people from our Wansheng Sect to help keep an eye on him. If I'm not mistaken, he should be in Xiqing Town now, because there has been some movement in the area where the Shadow Blade Sect's treasure is buried, so Zhou Yun should have sneaked in to look for the treasure." When it comes to Zhou Yun, Young Master Qingliu couldn't help but grit his teeth.

　　"The secret treasure of the Shadow Blade Sect is indeed a good thing. Maybe we will get some other gains this time." With a ferocious smile on his face, Han Hu laughed.

　　After signaling to the person next to him, an attendant beside Han Hu immediately brought up a small plate. On the plate, two rows of glittering gold coins were neatly arranged.

　　"This is your reward. Please do your best to lead us to find Zhou Yun." Han Hu smiled and signaled his followers to hand over the two rows of gold coins.

　　These gold coins are different from ordinary gold and purple gold. They are extremely smooth and flawless, almost reaching the level of perfection.

　　"Red gold!" As soon as he saw the things on the tray, a hint of greed flashed in Qingliu Gongzi's eyes. "The Han family of Tianhe Province is indeed rich and powerful, but I haven't taken you to find Zhou Yun yet, so now is not the time to pay."

　　With a faint smile on his face, Han Hu said, "I still trust the power of Wanshengmen, and we have already made it clear at the beginning that these 20,000 taels of silver are just for providing information. If you can lead us to find Zhou Yun, we will pay you another 100,000 taels."

　　"Are you serious?!" Upon hearing Han Hu's words, Master Qingliu's eyes immediately lit up.

　　One hundred thousand taels of silver, such a large sum of money was very attractive to him. Now his strength had been greatly reduced. In the circle of adventure warriors, he had lost his powerful force and was expelled from his sect. How to ensure the future life of Master Qingliu was already a problem. One hundred thousand taels of silver was also extremely important to him.

　　Naturally, Han Hu saw the expression on Master Qingliu's face. He grinned and said, "However, if you take the 100,000 taels, the treasures on Zhou Yun will only belong to our Han family."

　　So that's how it is!

　　For a moment, Master Qingliu's expression became a little struggling, but in the next moment, his slightly frowned brows relaxed.

　　The Han family spent so much money, so the benefits they wanted to get would not be small. A total of 120,000 taels of silver were spent to buy a piece of information. Obviously, things would not be that simple. Zhou Yun had a space ring on him, and the Han family probably knew about it.

　　Compared with the huge benefits of the space ring, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are really nothing.

　　Although he also wanted the space ring, but after the last heavy setback, Master Qingliu knew that he had lost the strength to compete for the space ring.

　　Now all he has to do is find Zhou Yun and take revenge with the help of the Han family!

　　"Okay, let's do it! I don't want any of the treasures on Zhou Yun. I just want you to kill Zhou Yun and avenge my broken arm!" With a gleam of hatred in his eyes, Master Qingliu spoke suddenly.

　　"It's not just you who hates him. Our Han family is also irreconcilable with him!" When mentioning hatred, Han Hu's eyes also exuded a hint of ferocity. "Okay, since we have already negotiated, let's set off immediately!"

　　"Leave overnight!?" Master Qingliu was a little surprised when he heard Han Hu's words.

　　"Yes, let's go now. After killing Zhou Yun, maybe we can hunt down a few treasure hunting teams and make some extra money." Han Hu said grimly with an evil laugh.

　　"Okay, then we'll set off tonight." Seeing Han Hu so anxious, Master Qingliu's eyes also became warm.

　　After his arm was cut off by Zhou Yun, it was difficult for him to improve his martial arts. Now he just wanted to get revenge and live on the rest of his life with the money he had earned.

　　The two sides had already finished the discussion, so there was no more delay. They stood up immediately, and Master Qingliu joined the Han family and quickly walked out of the Baihua Tower.

　　Young Master Qingliu had already led the Han family out of Nanyun City overnight and rushed to Xiqing Town to rob and kill Zhou Yun.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had already found a breakthrough in the pool of water in the dense forest!

　　After throwing the silver ingot down, Zhou Yun immediately discovered that although the pool seemed very deep, it actually held a secret!

　　There is actually a building inside the pool!

　　The silver ingot that Zhou Yun threw in hit the top of the building!

　　The top of the building was only four meters away from the water surface.

　　There was white mist around the pool, and there was a building in the water. This was obviously not simple. Zhou Yun immediately determined that the building in the water was an area where the Shadow Blade Sect buried treasure!

　　After emptying all the water bottles he carried with him, Zhou Yun made a few simple air bags and went directly into the water to look for the entrance to the underwater building.

　　After searching for four or five times in a row, Zhou Yun finally found a hidden baffle about twelve or thirteen meters underwater. After removing the baffle, Zhou Yun was able to successfully enter the mysterious underwater building.

　　As soon as he entered the underwater building, Zhou Yun was immediately shocked by the settings inside!

　　Chapter 41: The Tower of Transmission

　　"This facility looks like a power transmission tower!" Looking at everything in front of him, Zhou Yun couldn't help but cry out in shock.

　　This is a space with a radius of more than ten meters, which is almost exactly the same as the scope of the pool. This is also what Zhou Yun had guessed long ago. When he was looking for the entrance to the underwater building just now, Zhou Yun had already determined that the space of this building and the pool was almost completely consistent.

　　Just like a steel knife and its scabbard, the space of the building is almost the same size as the space of the pool.

　　In this space, the walls on all four sides are engraved with some diagrams and texts of martial arts training, and there is a spiral staircase in the center of the hall. Right in front of the staircase, a man in black leather armor and a black mask is standing there quietly, with no flesh exposed. He looks like a demon, holding a dark grey sword in his hand, looking very powerful!

　　Zhou Yun had also noticed that there was a very large circle in the hall. The boundary of the circle was drawn with red paint. The circle fit perfectly into the circular space, leaving only a two-meter-wide area on the outside, which allowed people to browse the text and pictures on the wall.

　　Obviously, this setting confirmed Zhou Yun's judgment that this was a power transmission tower!

　　Zhou Yun had also heard of things like the Transmission Tower in some miscellaneous notes. Many powerful sects had set up the Transmission Tower. In the tower were the sect's secret manuals and sealed Transmission Guards. If the sect's disciples made qualified contributions, they could enter the Tower to practice.

　　Learn the martial arts in the tower, then defeat the guards to gain the qualification to enter the higher-level tower, undergo more rigorous training, and learn more advanced secrets.

　　"If I remember correctly, many sects' guards who pass on their skills are living people whose consciousness has been refined. Could the person guarding the stairs really be a living person?"

　　The first thing Zhou Yun thought of was some records he had seen in the miscellaneous notes before.

　　The numerous sects on the Tianyuan Continent have been passed down for thousands of years and possess many incredible abilities. It is said that a martial saint who has reached the level of Yijing Marrow Cleansing has possessed powerful abilities like the creation of the world and can forcibly extract a person's soul.

　　The guards who passed on their skills in these sects were usually disciples who had committed serious mistakes and had their souls extracted by masters of their own sect, or some hostile enemies. And these people whose souls had been extracted had a very scary name - War Puppet!

　　They extract the souls of these people but do not kill them. Instead, they use them to assess the cultivation level of their disciples.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun was not in a hurry to check what was written on the wall. Instead, he held his breath and concentrated, sensing the black figure standing quietly in the distance.

　　Sure enough, as Zhou Yun calmed down, the faint and long breathing of the figure in the distance was immediately noticed by Zhou Yun!

　　"It's really a living person!" Feeling the figure's breath, Zhou Yun couldn't help but cry out in horror.

　　This power transmission tower has probably been abandoned for more than 20 years, yet this war puppet has been preserved until now. Such power can almost be said to be a miracle!

　　With just this simple discovery, Zhou Yun already felt how profound the cultivation level of the person who built this power transmission tower was!

　　The Shadow Blade Sect is only a first-class sect in the Tianyuan Dynasty, not among the super first-class ones, but it already has such a powerful master. If it is the masters of the super first-class sects such as Liangyi Divine Sect and Tianlong Temple, what kind of earth-shaking abilities will they have?

　　Moreover, the Tianyuan Dynasty is not the only one on the Tianyuan Continent. There are also many ancient sects in other major countries whose capabilities are no less than those of the Liangyi Divine Sect and the Tianlong Temple, and they still exist to this day.

　　What kind of power should the prosperous sects such as Kongming Holy Land, Guizhan Sect, and Xuanyin School have?

　　How powerful must the Tianyuan Dynasty royal family be to have been able to wipe out so many sects?

　　For a moment, Zhou Yun seemed to see something, but he couldn't figure it out. He just felt that he was so small in this vast world!

　　The implied associations gave Zhou Yun a great shock, but after a moment, Zhou Yun had put all these complicated thoughts behind him.

　　"I don't know how many years it takes those strong men to cultivate to the point where they have the ability to split mountains and cut cliffs. I just started late. There's no need to belittle myself. As long as I keep working hard, my future achievements will not necessarily be low. What's more, I still have that mysterious little piece! One day, I will have the power to stand at the top of the Tianyuan Continent!" After just a moment of shock, Zhou Yun immediately regained his confidence.

　　Finding the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower was an unexpected surprise for Zhou Yun. Now Zhou Yun only wanted to do one thing, which was to absorb and learn hard so that his abilities could be improved as quickly as possible!

　　The texts of the Tianyuan Dynasty are all read from left to right. Zhou Yun also began to browse through the text on the left wall of the hall bit by bit.

　　The first level of swordsmanship is called "speed sword". As the name suggests, this speed sword is a swordsmanship that strives to push the speed of the sword to the limit.

　　The practice of speed sword requires calmness of strength and a steady body, and the most standardized movements and the shortest force distance to achieve the fastest sword strikes with amazing sword power.

　　The entry test for this speed sword requires the practitioner to be able to swing 120 swords per minute, and the speed and force of each sword must reach the level of producing an 'echo'.

　　The sword is different from other weapons. The blade is long and narrow, as thin as a long sword, but much wider than a long sword. Therefore, when using a sword, as long as the speed and strength are enough, the sword will produce a "swish! swish!" sound, which is the so-called echo.

　　Seeing this, Zhou Yun couldn't help but draw out his three-forged steel knife and swung it vigorously!

　　Swish!

　　Although the blade made a noise when it broke through the air, the sound did not have that crisp feeling of breaking through the air. Instead, it seemed a little heavy.

　　"I swung my sword with all my strength and it barely produced an echo. However, the Speed ​​Sword Clan requires practitioners to swing 120 times per minute, and each swing will have a clearer echo than the one I just made. This is extremely difficult. The secret method of the Shadow Sword Clan is indeed powerful."

　　Looking at the requirements written on the wall, Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

　　While sighing, Zhou Yun couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart. If he could really practice to swing out one hundred and twenty swords per minute, and each sword had such powerful power, then to what extent would his combat effectiveness be improved?

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel eager.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun continued to browse the words and pictures on the wall.

　　"There are eight types of sword attacks, namely sweep, chop, flick, cut, swipe, hold, chop, and thrust. If you want to master the best sword techniques, you must master all eight attack techniques and use them freely. Listed on this wall are the standard postures for launching these eight sword techniques, as well as the key to calming down when swinging the sword."

　　Looking at the pictures on the wall, Zhou Yun gradually became immersed in them.

　　The key to sinking the breath is extremely subtle. It is to press the breath inhaled into the abdomen into the dantian to balance the body. Normal breathing is entirely done through the nostrils and chest. The ventilation can be extremely fast, but the breathing does not go deep into the dantian.

　　This was the first time Zhou Yun had heard of this breathing method. Immediately, Zhou Yun performed a breathing method according to the key points of calming the qi.

　　As Zhou Yun inhaled a full breath and then pressed it into his dantian, he suddenly felt that his body had become much more stable. Not only was it stable, but he also felt down-to-earth and stable when moving, and at the same time he was flexible.

　　When he felt the need to breathe, Zhou Yun closed his mouth tightly, suppressing the breath in his abdomen, and breathed quickly through his nostrils. The air was inhaled into the chest and then quickly expelled. His body continued to feel light without affecting the steady pressure in the abdominal cavity.

　　"The secret technique of the Shadow Blade Sect is truly magical!" Zhou Yun was pleasantly surprised by the key to calming his energy. He ignored everything else and started practicing with full concentration.

　　There are eight pictures on the wall, which show the standard force-generating techniques and explanations of the eight knife-wielding styles: sweep, chop, poke, cut, swipe, hold, chop and thrust.

　　Zhou Yun checked the diagrams and annotations on the wall and constantly corrected his knife-drawing posture. As his posture became more and more standardized, his knife-swinging speed and strength also increased little by little.

　　In the underwater power transmission tower, Zhou Yun had completely forgotten about time and only knew to practice and practice again.

　　Gradually, a day passed, and Zhou Yun was still practicing in the underwater tower. At this moment, the white mist on the pool outside the tower had begun to gradually dissipate.

　　As for the outskirts of Xiqing Town under the Black Dragon Mountains, Young Master Qingliu and others had also arrived.

　　Both Young Master Qingliu and the Han family were filled with hatred towards Zhou Yun.

　　After leaving Nanyun City, the group rode at full speed, almost never stopping, and that's how they arrived at Xiqing Town in such a short time.

　　"Second Master Han, please wait here. I will go in and find our informant to confirm Zhou Yun's information." A group of nine fast horses had stopped outside Xiqing Town. Master Qingliu stopped his horses and said to Han Hu beside him.

　　"Well, go ahead." Han Hu nodded and said.

　　After receiving the response, Master Qingliu did not stop and rode his horse directly into Xiqing Town.

　　Young Master Qingliu had already left, and Han Hu's eyes, hidden in his hood, were looking far away at the fog halfway up the Black Dragon Mountains in the distance.

　　"This thick fog is indeed not simple. It seems that a treasure will appear in Xiqing Town this time." Looking at the rising fog in the distance, Han Hu spoke slowly, and his eyes hidden in the darkness also showed a greedy light.

　　Everyone in the Han family wore black cloaks. The cloaks were very wide, with hoods on top, which completely covered the heads of Han Hu and others, leaving only a small gap in the front. The hem of the cloak even covered the weapons of Han Hu and others.

　　All eight of them looked like this, which made them look very mysterious.

　　"Second Master, it is said that wherever the Shadow Blade Sect's treasures are buried, there will be white fog, and as long as the treasures are discovered, the white fog will automatically dissipate. From this point of view, the Shadow Blade Sect's secret treasures should still be there. Second Master, should we go in and investigate as well?" After hearing Han Hu's words, a man next to him immediately rode up to ask.

　　A hint of viciousness flashed in Han Hu's eyes hidden in the mask. He laughed and said, "The secret treasure of Shadow Blade Sect has existed for so many years, and so many powerful people have failed to take it away. How could it be so simple? We won't go deep this time. After killing Zhou Yun, we will ambush in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. If we meet anyone returning injured, we will kill them and take the treasure. This is actually safer."

　　As if he had suddenly realized something, the servant immediately complimented him, "Second Master is wise!"

　　Chapter 42: Disciples of Wansheng Sect

　　After leaving Han Hu and others, Master Qingliu immediately entered Xiqing Town. He did not enter the main street, but walked secretly into the residential area of ​​Xiqing Town.

　　Xiqing Town has a small population and an even smaller permanent population. Many of them are nomadic adventuring warriors, so there are many inns in Xiqing Town, and they are all built in a very high-end manner. In comparison, the residential area in Xiqing Town feels a bit dilapidated.

　　The road hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and usually not many people lived here, so the whole residential area had a desolate feeling.

　　After walking through the narrow and dim alley for a while, Master Qingliu stopped at the door of a mansion that looked more spacious than the surrounding courtyards.

　　The gate of the mansion was ajar, and Master Qingliu did not knock on the door, but walked straight in.

　　In the courtyard of the mansion stood a willow tree that had been dead for a long time. The walls were also mottled and looked messy, as if no one had been here for a long time.

　　Knowing that all this was just an appearance, Master Qingliu walked straight across the courtyard and into the inner hall.

　　Walking around the screen in the lobby and opening the cabinet behind the screen, Master Qingliu immediately saw a downward passage and the light in the passage.

　　He slipped in and closed the door of the cabinet. The whole hall immediately fell into dilapidated gloom again, without a trace of life.

　　Following the light, Young Master Qingliu walked into the passage. After going down five or six meters, a lively scene immediately appeared in front of Young Master Qingliu.

　　There were a few simple stone tables there, and a group of people who looked like warriors were sitting there in groups of three or four, talking loudly.

　　"Master Feng, I caught a little girl on the official road the other day. You can't even mention her beauty. Please help me introduce her to the elder who teaches martial arts. Maybe he can teach me a few tricks of martial arts, which will be enough for me to become a core disciple."

　　"Tsk, what pretty girls can there be in these southwestern provinces? Pretty girls are all in Jiangnan and Jingji, so don't embarrass yourself here. Master Feng, I got a very good dagger the other day. Look, it's this one. This dagger is forged with black jade steel. Only Master Feng is worthy of such a precious sword. Don't you think so?"

　　There are a dozen people in the hall, but it is obvious that the core of these people is the young man sitting in the middle, who is called "Mr. Feng".

　　The man was dressed in yellow satin clothes, with a long sword tied around his waist, his hair tied back, and his body standing tall. Although his eyes were bright, they were not the kind of bright that showed righteousness, but rather had a hint of evil in them. The whole person looked a little weird.

　　Compared with the people around him, this Feng Shao was obviously superior in both cultivation and clothing. He was also the center of flattery by the people around him.

　　This underground hall is exactly the stronghold of Wanshengmen in Xiqing Town. Normally there are not many people here. Only one spy left by Wanshengmen in Xiqing Town usually hides here secretly. Unexpectedly, there are so many people here today. Seeing the lively scene below, Master Qingliu couldn't help but stop.

　　At this time, everyone in the underground hall also saw Master Qingliu. Seeing Master Qingliu with a broken arm and a tired and listless face, everyone in the hall immediately stopped talking.

　　After just a moment's silence, everyone in the hall immediately became active.

　　"Hey, isn't this Young Master Qingliu? What happened to you? How did you end up in such a miserable situation as one of the top five masters among the outer circle of our Wansheng Sect, someone who had the hope of becoming a core disciple within two years?" The young man who wanted to offer the beauty just now immediately ridiculed him.

　　"It was that blind man who chopped off the hands of our Wanshengmen's Qingliu Master. Tell me and I will avenge you." The young man who wanted to give the dagger to Feng Shao also laughed at him.

　　Sitting there quietly, Feng Shao glanced at Master Qingliu casually, with a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

　　Standing up, Feng Shao spoke slowly, "Qingliu, the master asked you to find the lost Qidongbu secret manual. You won't forget this, right? If you can't find it within a month, you know the consequences."

　　In Wanshengmen, Chen Feng and Master Qingliu were both very promising disciples. Some time ago, Chen Feng's cultivation level broke through to the tendon training realm, and he became a core disciple of Wanshengmen. However, Master Qingliu had his left arm chopped off by Zhou Yun, and the important secret book of Qidong Step in the sect was also lost. This caused Master Qingliu's status in Wanshengmen to plummet. Not only was he expelled from the sect, but his life is now in danger.

　　Seeing his former competitor end up like this, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.

　　"I understand. I will definitely give an explanation to my master." A phoenix without feathers is no better than a chicken. Now Master Qingliu did not dare to challenge Chen Feng at all. And those outer disciples who were close to him before now also ridiculed him. All this made Master Qingliu's hatred for Zhou Yun even deeper.

　　He quickly walked to the Wansheng Sect disciples stationed in Xiqing Town and asked for Zhou Yun's information. Master Qingliu immediately turned around and left. He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.

　　Watching Young Master Qingliu leave the underground hall, all the disciples of Wanshengmen showed a look of contempt on their faces.

　　"What the hell, he thought he was someone that was taken care of by the master in the past, but now he is like this, I can kill him with one hand."

　　"Since he lost the sect's secret manual, I think he doesn't have much time left. When the time comes, I will apply to the sect to hunt him down myself. This way, I may be able to perform a small deed and get a reward."

　　As soon as Master Qingliu left, people in the underground hall immediately started talking.

　　Without paying attention to the discussion of the crowd, Chen Feng walked up to the Wansheng Sect disciple stationed in Xiqing Town and asked, "Black Dog, what did Qingliu ask you to do?"

　　Hearing Chen Feng's question, the short Black Dog hesitated for a moment and then spoke immediately, "Master Feng, Qingliu asked me to find out the whereabouts of a man named Zhou Yun. I'm afraid that Zhou Yun was the one who cut off his arm and took away the Qidong Step Secret Manual."

　　Although it was against the rules to reveal such news, Black Dog could see the situation clearly. Chen Feng was highly valued by the elders in Wanshengmen, while Young Master Qingliu was already on the decline and was considered half a useless person. Black Dog knew what to choose.

　　Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What position is Zhou Yun in now?"

　　"I just left Xiqing Town the day before yesterday and entered the Black Dragon Mountains. I haven't come out yet." While answering, Black Dog also took out the portrait of Zhou Yun that he got from Young Master Qingliu.

　　After looking at Zhou Yun's appearance in the portrait, Chen Feng turned to face everyone and said loudly, "Everyone, we must enter the Black Dragon Mountains when we go treasure hunting. Since it's on the way, you might as well write down Zhou Yun's appearance. If you meet him at that time, you can kill him together. If you can recover the Qidongbu secret book, it will be a great achievement!"

　　As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, the Wanshengmen disciples in the hall immediately started to make a noise.

　　"Okay, let's all listen to Master Feng!"

　　"We will do whatever you say, Master Feng!"

　　All the people looked flattering, which was very helpful to Chen Feng. He silently memorized Zhou Yun's appearance. Chen Feng put away the portrait and said, "Everyone, quickly prepare all kinds of dry food and fresh water for the trip, and organize weapons and armor. We will set off tomorrow!"

　　"good!"

　　After a uniform response, the people in the hall immediately began to get busy.

　　At this time, Master Qingliu had already obtained the information he wanted and returned to the outside of Xiqing Town.

　　Riding his horse closer, Young Master Qingliu returned to the cavalry where the Han family members were.

　　"Have you got any news about Zhou Yun?" Han Hu asked immediately when he saw Master Qingliu coming back.

　　"I got it. Zhou Yun entered the Black Dragon Mountains the day before yesterday and has not come out yet. He should still be in the mountains." Nodding, Master Qingliu spoke gloomily. The humiliation of everyone in the underground hall just now made Master Qingliu's mind a little twisted. Now he is the one who can't wait to find Zhou Yun.

　　“Okay, let’s set out immediately and search the outskirts of the Black Dragon Mountains. In my opinion, Zhou Yun’s cultivation is still weak, and with his cautious character, it is impossible for him to go too deep into the Black Dragon Mountains. We will search the outskirts, and after we find Zhou Yun, we will cut him into pieces without any explanation and grind his bones to ashes!” With a cruel expression on his face, Han Hu gave an order and immediately led the Han family and Young Master Qingliu on horseback to the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　Unconsciously, Zhou Yun had fallen into the trap set by the two forces. Zhou Yun was completely unaware of the situation. At this moment, he was immersed in the satisfaction brought by his cultivation improvement.

　　Zhou Yun had read all the diagrams and texts in the hall, and he was already very familiar with the eight sword attack techniques of sweeping, chopping, flicking, slicing, raking, holding, slashing and thrusting.

　　Although the Shadow Blade Sect's secret techniques were extremely sophisticated, Zhou Yun felt that practicing them was effortless. He could always easily understand the meaning of the diagrams and texts on the wall.

　　Zhou Yun only needed two hours to fully understand each of the eight sword techniques and hone the most standard movements. His sword-swinging speed and strength also increased step by step, and he improved very quickly!

　　More than a day passed, and Zhou Yun had already mastered all eight sword techniques.

　　Standing on the open space in the hall, Zhou Yun sank his qi into his Dantian, his nostrils opened and closed, causing his chest to rise and fall rapidly, constantly exhaling to increase his strength. However, the breath in his Dantian was as steady as a mountain, completely motionless!

　　Brush! Brush! Brush!

　　As Zhou Yun continued to swing his sword, crisp echoes kept erupting. Zhou Yun, who was practicing, had a steady body, and his sword swings were not forceful, but their power was astonishing.

　　As Zhou Yun swung his sword, a shadow of his arm was left behind, almost invisible!

　　After practicing the eight sword techniques of sweeping, chopping, flicking, slicing, raking, holding, slashing and thrusting continuously and reaching the standard of one hundred and twenty swords per minute, Zhou Yun deeply exhaled the breath that was suppressed in his dantian and finished the sword technique.

　　As Zhou Yun stood still, bursts of crackling sounds erupted from all over his bones.

　　After the noise, Zhou Yun felt that his cultivation had improved to the middle stage of bone training!

　　"The Shadow Blade Sect's skills are truly powerful!" After realizing the changes in his cultivation, Zhou Yun couldn't help but praise them loudly.

　　Using the normal method to activate the sword technique can actually help temper the bones. Unknowingly, Zhou Yun's cultivation has quietly broken through.

　　Looking at the black figure standing in front of the stairs in the distance, Zhou Yun knew that it was time to start this challenge.

　　——————————————————————

　　Dear readers, I strongly request flowers. I will update more chapters if you have flowers. Please help me.

　　Chapter 43: Practical Training

　　After taking two deep breaths, Zhou Yun adjusted his physical condition, tightly grasped the three-forged steel knife in his hand, and carefully stepped into the red area of ​​the hall's center.

　　As soon as he entered the red zone, the figure in the distance reacted immediately.

　　Perhaps because it had not moved for too long, the black-armored war puppet's movements were a little stiff, but it still made the movement of drawing its sword and leaning forward in preparation for an attack.

　　As the war puppet began to move, a pressure immediately enveloped Zhou Yun.

　　A war puppet is a puppet whose soul has been extracted. It has no consciousness of its own, but only the instinct to fight and protect. Such an existence is often very terrifying.

　　Although the body of the war puppet opposite was still a little stiff, Zhou Yun did not dare to be negligent. Following the key points of the Qi-sinking technique, Zhou Yun opened his mouth and took a deep breath. Then he slowly suppressed the breath and condensed it in his Dantian. Zhou Yun's nostrils began to exchange airflow rapidly, and his chest bulged and rose and fell. Repeated breathing made Zhou Yun's body calm and agile.

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun had adjusted himself to the best combat state!

　　bass!

　　Zhou Yun was ready, and the black-armored war puppet at the far end had already moved its body. With a flash of cold light, the war puppet had already pulled out the sword that it had been holding in front of its chest. Suddenly, a creepy cold light was reflected, and with the help of the candlelight, the cold light directly swept across Zhou Yun's eyes, making Zhou Yun's vision dazed!

　　"What a strong fighting instinct!" Before the two sides actually came into contact, the war puppet had already used the environment to gain an advantage in this battle.

　　This was Zhou Yun's first experience. Although he knew that the battle between warriors was not simply a competition of cultivation and martial arts, it also depended on many external conditions and subtle details.

　　Zhou Yun had already had a deep understanding of this when he was taking part in the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination. In the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination, Zhou Yun used this method to defeat several noble disciples in succession.

　　The war puppet in front of Zhou Yun was obviously more accomplished in this area than Zhou Yun. With just a simple sword draw, the war puppet knew how to use the sword to reflect the candlelight and affect Zhou Yun's vision.

　　It seems that although the soul of this war puppet has been extracted, its fighting instinct is still retained.

　　While Zhou Yun's vision was affected and there was a blind spot, the war puppet pounced over quickly.

　　Although he suffered a small loss at the beginning, Zhou Yun was no ordinary person after all. When he stepped into the red circle, Zhou Yun's mind was always locked on the black-armored war puppet, so the obstructed vision did not have much impact on Zhou Yun.

　　Facing the war puppet, Zhou Yun took a step forward and swung the sword in his hand quickly.

　　This move was exactly the "Tu" technique among the eight sword techniques. The front part of the blade flashed with cold light and quickly pointed towards the chest of the war puppet!

　　As long as Zhou Yun's attack could hit the target, the war puppet would be ripped open no matter what!

　　Facing Zhou Yun's attack, the war puppet did not dodge at all, but rushed straight over. Its steps were only slightly staggered, and the war puppet had already avoided Zhou Yun's attack. At the same time, the sword in its hand moved from bottom to top, and the use of the "撩" technique was so appropriate.

　　Zhou Yun was prepared for such an attack. He dodged the attack of the war puppet by shifting his body. He turned around and stabbed with his sword, and began to fight back. The war puppet was also not polite and swung his sword to fight with Zhou Yun.

　　The secret book in this hall is the Speed ​​Sword. Zhou Yun has already practiced the Speed ​​Sword to the entry level, and the war puppet is not inferior. Not only is its body flexible, but its sword-swinging speed is faster than Zhou Yun. Although its attack power is not stronger than Zhou Yun, it has extremely rich combat experience. When fighting against it, Zhou Yun is almost completely at a disadvantage.

　　puff!

　　After resisting the war puppet's attacks several times in a row, Zhou Yun was finally stabbed in the shoulder, and a stream of blood spurted out immediately.

　　Zhou Yun frowned, suppressed the pain and continued attacking.

　　The war puppet was like a fighting machine, never tired at all. It waved the sword in its hand repeatedly, forcing Zhou Yun to retreat continuously.

　　Raising the three-forged steel knife in his hand, Zhou Yun took the attack from the war puppet and couldn't help but take three steps back!

　　Because the war puppet used great power in this attack, Zhou Yun was finally unable to hold the breath in his dantian. As the breath dissipated, Zhou Yun immediately felt a sense of emptiness in his body.

　　"It's bad!" Zhou Yun immediately said to himself that it was bad when he felt that the energy he had suppressed in his dantian had dissipated.

　　Without thinking too much, Zhou Yun immediately took a defensive posture, ready to resist the foreseeable fierce attack from the war puppet.

　　At this time, the war puppet that had forced Zhou Yun into a corner did not continue to attack, but put away its sword and slowly retreated.

　　"Huh? What's going on?" Seeing this situation, Zhou Yun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

　　Judging from the performance of the war puppet just now, there is no way it would show mercy. The battle just now was definitely a matter of life and death. Zhou Yun clearly felt that if he had not resisted hard, the war puppet would have had the chance to kill him several times. Why would it suddenly retreat at this time?

　　At the far end, the war puppet had already held the sword back in its arms, resumed its previous posture, and stood quietly at the entrance of the stairs, its entire body once again falling into hibernation-like silence.

　　It was at this time that Zhou Yun realized that he had been forced out of the red circle in the hall without realizing it.

　　Seeing that his feet were already outside the red circle, Zhou Yun finally came to his senses, "So that's how it is. This war puppet will only attack people in the red area. Once I leave the red area, the war puppet will stop attacking."

　　After discovering this situation, Zhou Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still frightened.

　　The combat power of that war puppet was too strong. Not only was its cultivation level higher than his, having reached the peak of bone training, but it also had extremely rich combat experience. Its moves were ruthless and difficult to guard against. Moreover, some of the environments in the hall could often be used by him.

　　In the battle just now, Zhou Yun's vision was obstructed several times by the cold light brought out by the war puppet when it swung its sword. There were even several times when Zhou Yun was forced to step on some small protrusions on the ground when he retreated, causing his steps to be unstable.

　　It must be said that the fighting skills of the war puppet have reached the height of art. It is hard to imagine that a warrior who has reached the peak of bone training can possess such powerful fighting skills!

　　"It is still unwise for me to challenge this war puppet now. If the war puppet ignores the area after being awakened and fights to the death, I might suffer a big setback here today. But it is okay now. As long as I get out of the red circle, the war puppet will not continue to attack, and I can also use the war puppet here to hone my combat skills." Zhou Yun secretly said in fear, and he has already decided on his own strategy.

　　Although the war puppet's cultivation was only slightly higher than Zhou Yun's, its fighting skills were much stronger. Zhou Yun was no match for it now.

　　"It seems that I must make a good summary of my combat experience. It is also time to learn the book on pneumatic steps. My current footwork is too disadvantageous." Taking out some golden wound medicine and pouring it on his wound, Zhou Yun simply ate two pieces of dry food and drank some water to replenish his strength. Then he sat down on the ground, took out the book on pneumatic steps from the space ring, and began to read it.

　　Opening the blue pneumatic step secret book, a line of words immediately caught Zhou Yun's eyes.

　　"The outcome of a battle depends on the level of strength, the strength of the technique, and the support and opposition of the surroundings, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the situation. Taking advantage of the superior and chasing away the inferior, this is the essence of battle."

　　After the fierce battle with the war puppet just now, Zhou Yun already had a glimpse of the details of the battle, and the introduction on the first page of the Qidong Step gave Zhou Yun a feeling of enlightenment.

　　Although Zhou Yun had been fighting with the tigers and practicing every day without interruption when he was at the Qin family, he only learned that fighting should be done with courage and fortitude, but he lacked the specific skills of fighting.

　　Zhou Yun had deeply felt this shortcoming after leaving Heyang. Whether it was Liang Zan, whom he met when he encountered a tiger outside the official road, or the young master Qingliu who came later, these people had much more combat experience than him. This was experience that could only be accumulated after truly experiencing one fierce battle after another.

　　Zhou Yun had always lacked such experience before, but now, Zhou Yun has found an opportunity to improve himself.

　　Just as the introduction on the first page of Qidongbu said, there are many factors that determine the outcome of a battle, including the level of cultivation, the strength of martial arts, whether the environment is favorable, and whether the momentum is dominant. These four points are enough to determine the outcome of a battle.

　　To become a strong warrior, these are things Zhou Yun needs to work hard to hone and learn.

　　Having found the direction for improvement, Zhou Yun began to refer to the pneumatic steps in his hands little by little. At the same time, he compared it with the combat experience just now, summarized the skills used by the war puppet in actual combat, and continuously improved his abilities.

　　As time passed, Zhou Yun was completely immersed in the process of self-improvement. He constantly referred to secret manuals, honed his footwork, and continued to familiarize himself with the use of the speed knife.

　　After gaining some experience, I entered the red circle again and fought fiercely with the war puppet until it showed signs of exhaustion. Then I exited the red circle and continued to learn and summarize.

　　In this process, Zhou Yun's cultivation and combat ability began to rise rapidly.

　　Three days passed in a flash. Zhou Yun was still practicing in the tower under the pool, but the scene outside the tower was completely different.

　　There was something strange happening with the treasure of the Shadow Blade Sect near Xiqing Town in the Black Dragon Mountains. This news has spread like snowflakes to various areas of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　Many forces that were plotting to obtain Shadow Blade Sect's secret information began to flock to Xiqing Town, while the Han family led by Han Hu were still searching for Zhou Yun's whereabouts in the outskirts of the dense forest near Xiqing Town.

　　Chapter 44: Get through!

　　"Bah, how unlucky it is that I can even meet a level three ferocious beast here. It's really hell!" Han Hu struggled to stand up from a bush, spat out the mud in his mouth and complained out loud.

　　Three days have passed since the night they entered the Black Dragon Mountains to search for Zhou Yun's whereabouts. During these three days, Han Hu and others did not find any clues about Zhou Yun. Instead, the group he led encountered dangers one after another on the outskirts of the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　Originally, he wanted to hunt down some lone warriors on the outskirts of the Black Dragon Mountains and make a fortune, but he didn't expect that many powerful warrior teams suddenly poured into the Black Dragon Mountains in recent days. Some of the warrior teams were even led by warriors who had reached the level of organ blood exchange.

　　Once a warrior enters the realm of training organs and exchanging blood, it means that the warrior's physical strength has reached perfection, and the three external training levels, training skin, training bones, and training tendons have all been completely passed. When the physical strength reaches the extreme, the true power stored in the body can be stimulated, and it can even reach the point of killing people from a distance.

　　Such a warrior is totally beyond the ability of ordinary muscle training warriors to resist. Even if it is a warrior at the top of muscle training, if he does not have strong cultivation and practical skills, plus some secret means of saving his life, he will definitely die if he meets a warrior who practices organ transfusion.

　　Not to mention that Han Hu is only at the initial stage of tendon training now, even if he has reached the peak of tendon training, he would probably be in danger of death if he met a warrior who was practicing organ and blood transfusion.

　　In just three days, the Han family led by Han Hu had encountered two teams of warriors who practiced organ blood transfusion.

　　He originally wanted to hunt others, but he didn't expect that he would become the target of the hunt.

　　Even more unfortunate is that the Black Dragon Mountains have become different these days. Some level three and even level four ferocious beasts have appeared on the outskirts of the Black Dragon Mountains. Just now, the Han family encountered a level three ferocious beast, the Golden Ring Snake, without warning.

　　At the first encounter, the two warriors of the Han family were directly killed by the venom sprayed by the golden ring snake, and even their bones were corroded completely.

　　If Han Hu hadn't run fast, he would probably have died here today.

　　A third-level ferocious beast is equivalent to the muscle training of a human warrior. Moreover, the combat power of a ferocious beast is originally stronger than that of a human warrior. A ferocious beast of the same level can often easily kill a human warrior of the same level.

　　After killing the two people, the golden ring snake wandered around for a while and finally left. Only then did Han Hu dare to stand up from his hiding place.

　　As Han Hu stood up, all the people in the Han family stood up, all of them looked pale. Although they were all born as bandits and lived on the edge of a knife, bandits were also flesh and blood, and they were afraid of death.

　　No one can remain calm in the face of death.

　　After all the people of the Han family stood up, a thin figure with one arm also stood up from the bushes at the back. This person was Master Qingliu, who had been staying with the people of the Han family during the days since they entered the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　Seeing that Master Qingliu was unharmed while two of his subordinates died, Han Hu's face flashed a sinister look, "Qingliu, is your information accurate? You said Zhou Yun was in the Black Dragon Mountains, but we have been looking for him for three days and haven't seen a single ghost. Are you teasing me?"

　　"How could I possibly entertain you? Wanshengmen's spies in other cities are sending me messages every day. There is no trace of Zhou Yun in those towns along the Black Dragon Mountains. This means that Zhou Yun must still be in the Black Dragon Mountains, just hiding where we can't find him." After three days of searching for Zhou Yun, Qingliu Gongzi's patience was almost exhausted, and his tone became a little stiff when he spoke to Han Hu.

　　Although he was annoyed and extremely dissatisfied with Master Qingliu, Han Hu still suppressed his anger. After all, he still needed to rely on Master Qingliu's information network in Wanshengmen to monitor Zhou Yun's movements.

　　"We can only retreat now. We cannot stay here any longer. If we continue to stay here, we might not find Zhou Yun, and we will all die first." Looking at the dense forest around him, Han Hu said unhappily.

　　As many high-level ferocious beasts began to appear, the dense forest outside the Black Dragon Mountains now exuded a hint of danger, and Han Hu did not dare to stay here any longer.

　　"Okay, but we need to leave someone who is good at disguise to patrol this area and notify us immediately if any news about Zhou Yun is found." After thinking for a moment, Master Qingliu spoke.

　　"Okay, then Xiaochuan, you stay here. You are the best at hiding secrets, but you must be careful and pay attention to safety." Agreeing with Master Qingliu's opinion, Han Hu also made arrangements.

　　Finally, Han Hu did not forget to remind the people who stayed behind to be careful. There was nothing he could do about it. Although the Han family was a prominent family, the number of warriors in the family was limited. Two warriors with bone training skills had already died this time. If a few more people were lost, the Han family would probably be seriously injured.

　　"Second Master, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on the situation here." The man called Chuanzi by Han Hu was less than five feet tall, very short, but his eyes were very bright and revealed a cleverness.

　　"Okay, then let's all retreat first and wait for news at the inn in Xiqing Town." Looking at the dense forest around him somewhat unwillingly, Han Hu finally ordered the evacuation.

　　The Han family had already been tortured by the Black Dragon Mountains and was almost mentally collapsed. After hearing the order to evacuate, they immediately hurriedly retreated from the dense forest outside the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　At this time, in the secret power transmission tower under the pool, Zhou Yun was already prepared to challenge the black-clothed war puppet once again.

　　For three days, Zhou Yun had been repeatedly summarizing his practical skills, practicing air-dynamic steps, further honing the key points of the speed sword, and studying the key points of calming his breath to make his breath more stable.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun could have defeated the war puppet yesterday, but Zhou Yun was not in a hurry. Instead, he used the war puppet to hone his combat skills, while seizing the time to continuously improve his cultivation.

　　Now Zhou Yun can already strike his sword 180 times per minute, and each strike can produce a standard air-breaking echo.

　　Zhou Yun has also made great progress in the practice of Pneumatic Step. Pneumatic Step is actually to use the internal energy to propel the body to move quickly, which can achieve the effect of rapid position change within a certain distance, thus allowing the warrior to gain an advantage in battle.

　　Currently, Zhou Yun has only reached the middle stage of bone training, and has not yet completed the three stages of external training. Naturally, his true energy cannot leave his body, so the effect of the pneumatic step has not been fully brought into play by Zhou Yun.

　　Once his cultivation can reach the level of strengthening the organs and exchanging blood, the power of this Qi-powered step will increase exponentially when used!

　　During these three days, Zhou Yun's last task was to hone his combat skills. He made full use of the environment to put himself in an advantageous position in the battle. After repeated actual combat and summarization, Zhou Yun made great progress in this aspect.

　　When Zhou Yun fought against the war puppet for the first time, he had a feeling that he could not defeat his opponent at all. He could not understand the mysteries of some of the war puppet's moves and positioning. But now, Zhou Yun has already understood all these things.

　　Standing outside the red circle, Zhou Yun suddenly opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and sank his dantian. His whole aura immediately became vigorous and steady.

　　With the three-forged steel knife in his hand raised, Zhou Yun resolutely pounced on the black-clad war puppet that was still guarding the stairs!

　　This kind of scene has occurred many times in the past three days. When the war puppet sensed that Zhou Yun had stepped into the red circle, it immediately drew out its sword and attacked.

　　Since the hall had experienced more than a dozen battles in a row, the stone floor underfoot had many damaged areas, which became a key point that Zhou Yun could use.

　　Seeing the amplitude and frequency of the black-clothed war puppet's steps, Zhou Yun secretly kicked forward with his right foot. Suddenly, a small stone was kicked out by Zhou Yun and fell right on the black-clothed war puppet's movement path.

　　Although the black-clothed war puppet has reached the peak of bone training, he is currently unable to crush the hard rocks with his feet without being affected at all.

　　The forward route had already been determined, but now, there was suddenly a fist-sized piece of gravel at the landing place, and the war puppet had to adjust its pace to avoid the stone.

　　And this adjustment still allowed Zhou Yun to seize the opportunity!

　　With a sudden leap, Zhou Yun swung the three-forged steel knife in his hand quickly, and with a sweeping move, he slashed towards the neck of the war puppet.

　　Hastily adjusting its pace, the war puppet swung its sword to try to deflect Zhou Yun's attack.

　　Bang!

　　The swords collided and a spark flashed. Due to the hasty fight, the war puppet's body immediately became disordered.

　　Zhou Yun seized this opportunity and without even waiting for the ground to land, he kicked out in mid-air, hitting the black-clad war puppet right in the abdomen.

　　Suddenly, the black-clad war puppet was kicked away by Zhou Yun.

　　Continuing to approach, Zhou Yun changed the three-forged steel knife in his hand from being held vertically to being held horizontally. This change in the direction of the blade immediately caused a faint light to reflect from the blade, and this faint light just hit the eyes of the war puppet.

　　This move was exactly what Zhou Yun learned from the black-clothed war puppet during several battles. Now he could use it flexibly to counterattack and use this move on the war puppet.

　　The war puppet's movements immediately slowed down by the light from Zhou Yundao's body.

　　"Mount Tai is falling down!" Taking advantage of several opportunities, Zhou Yun jumped into the air, holding the knife in both hands, and chopped fiercely at the top of the war puppet's head.

　　From the beginning of the battle, the war puppet was already at a disadvantage, and at this moment it could only swing its sword to block again.

　　Bang!

　　This time, the sound of the two swords colliding was almost twice as loud as before, and sparks flew everywhere!

　　The war puppet retreated several steps under Zhou Yun's powerful strength, and its back was already against the stairs.

　　Although the war puppet's cultivation was higher than Zhou Yun's and had reached the peak of bone training, for some reason, Zhou Yun's strength was stronger than that of the war puppet, which made Zhou Yun somewhat puzzled.

　　At present, Zhou Yun can only attribute this phenomenon to the benefits brought by the mysterious little piece. In short, this situation is beneficial to Zhou Yun, so he naturally doesn't think too much about it.

　　Forcing the war puppet to the side of the stairs, Zhou Yun seized the opportunity to attack again with the Tu character technique, with the blade slashing towards the chest of the war puppet.

　　The black-clad war puppet wanted to block, but found that when he swung his arm backwards, trying to find the distance to exert force, he actually hit the stairs behind him!

　　Seeing the black-clothed war puppet in dire straits, Zhou Yun showed a smile. After three days of training, Zhou Yun finally brought his combat capability to a whole new level!

　　puff!

　　Unable to resist any longer, the black-clothed war puppet was stabbed in the chest, blood spurted out, and the whole person immediately fell limply to the ground.

　　The first level of this power transmission tower was finally opened by Zhou Yun!

　　Chapter 45: A Clear Mind (Flowers and More)

　　As the war puppet was killed by Zhou Yun, it seemed as if something inside its body was broken, and the war puppet's body immediately shrank like a deflated ball. In just a few breaths, the war puppet's body turned into a pool of blood and merged with the ground beneath its feet.

　　In front of the stairs, only a sword and a set of torn armor were left lying there quietly.

　　Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Yun couldn't help but marvel, "This war puppet is indeed made magically. Once it dies, its body will automatically destroy without leaving any trace. If a force has a group of war puppets and lets them complete some assassination missions, they can really do it silently and without any flaws, and people can't catch them at all."

　　Unexpectedly, Zhou Yun’s casual sigh actually became a reality in the future.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun naturally didn't know so many things. The war puppet was dead and the damaged armor was of no value. However, the gray sword caught Zhou Yun's attention.

　　The triple-forged steel knife that Zhou Yun used himself was already a good-quality sword. Although it was made of ordinary steel, it had been hammered three times, so its strength and toughness were extraordinary. However, the sword used by the war puppet was obviously stronger. After more than a dozen battles, the triple-forged steel knife in Zhou Yun's hand could still be used, but there were dense gaps on the blade, and it was almost on the verge of being scrapped.

　　Now, only the tip of the three-forged steel knife is still intact. It is for this reason that Zhou Yun chose to use the "Tu" technique to kill the war puppet in the end, because the "Tu" technique uses the tip of the knife.

　　After fighting with Zhou Yun for such a long time, the grey sword in the puppet's hand was completely intact, with only some tiny white marks on the blade, which were too fine to be detected. So many powerful attacks could not leave any trace of damage on the grey sword, which clearly meant that the sword was not an ordinary item.

　　Crouching down, Zhou Yun first touched the gray sword with his space ring, and after confirming that there was nothing strange, Zhou Yun picked up the sword. You know, this was left by a war puppet that had been guarding here for at least 20 years. If the sword was poisoned, Zhou Yun might not be seriously hurt, but it would inevitably waste time.

　　After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the sword, Zhou Yun took the sword in his hand and examined it carefully.

　　As soon as the sword was in hand, a rough and heavy feeling came over me immediately.

　　"This sword is even heavier than my three-forged steel sword!" Feeling the weight of the sword, Zhou Yun knew that it was definitely not simple. Zhou Yun had already vaguely discovered this problem during the battle just now. The occasional small swing of the sword by the war puppet could bring a lot of heavy power. Zhou Yun originally thought that the war puppet had some more sophisticated way of exerting force, but he didn't expect that it was caused by the weight of the sword itself.

　　Although the triple-forged steel knife that Zhou Yun originally used was made of ordinary steel, after three rounds of hammering, the density of the blade had reached an extremely strong level, which is why it weighed thirty kilograms.

　　However, this grey sword did not have any signs of forging on its blade. Even the blade did not seem to be made by forging and then grinding, but rather by direct grinding, which was a way of grinding a blade out of a piece of raw iron.

　　"With such weight and such craftsmanship, it can only be a weapon. This sword must be made of Tianyan steel." Tianyan steel is a steel material unique to the Hulun Dynasty. It is mined from the Egulun Snow Mountain in the north of the Hulun Dynasty. This steel is gray, ranging from light gray to dark gray. The darker the color, the stronger it is.

　　Due to its hardness and weight, Tianyan steel cannot be melted at all. If you want to make weapons, you can only use the Hulun Dynasty's unique fine steel stone to cut it, and then it will take shape after a long period of polishing.

　　To make a Tianyan steel knife often requires an experienced craftsman to work continuously for half a year to complete it, which shows how precious the Tianyan steel knife is.

　　The color of the Tianyan steel in Zhou Yun's hand is not too dark, and it should not be considered a top-quality variety among Tianyan steels. Fortunately, Zhou Yun's three-forged steel knife has been used until now without being destroyed.

　　If the war puppet was using the high Tianyan steel knife, the weapon in Zhou Yun's hand would be destroyed in one encounter.

　　According to records, the darkest gray color is almost pure black Tianyan steel, and the weight of a sword can even reach 150 kilograms!

　　Although this Tianyan steel knife is not very good, it is much better than the three-forged steel knife that Zhou Yun used before. It weighs more than 50 kilograms, has a sharp blade, a solid blade, and a simple and bold appearance, all of which make this Tianyan steel knife particularly extraordinary.

　　Holding the knife in his hand, Zhou Yun swung it twice fiercely. Listening to the rustling sound of the blade breaking through the air, Zhou Yun nodded with satisfaction.

　　Zhou Yun's cultivation had already broken through to the middle stage of bone training. In addition, Zhou Yun's strength was stronger than that of ordinary bone training warriors. The fifty-jin Tianyan steel knife was only slightly heavy for Zhou Yun to use, and he did not feel any discomfort.

　　Although he had killed the war puppet guarding this level, Zhou Yun changed to a new weapon and was not in a hurry to continue moving up. He put the three-forged steel knife he had been using into the space ring for emergency use.

　　Then Zhou Yun stood in the hall and practiced the quick sword skills he learned on the first floor three times with his new weapon.

　　Not until his speed and strength returned to the level when he used the three-forged steel knife and he had no difficulty adapting to the new weapon did Zhou Yun stop and prepare to climb the stairs to the center of the hall.

　　Zhou Yun already had a rough idea of ​​the structure of the tower. After he found the entrance to the tower underwater just now, he was sure that he was currently on the lowest floor of the tower. According to the total height of the tower and the height of the current floor, the tower had at least four more floors.

　　In the first level, Zhou Yun learned the unique skill of "Speed ​​Sword" and condensed it into powerful combat skills. I wonder what else he can learn next.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun felt a surge of anticipation in his heart.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun slowly climbed the stairs.

　　The staircase spiraled upward, and when it approached the top, it suddenly became straight and extended to the edge of the next floor. Observing the direction of the staircase, Zhou Yun knew that when he climbed to the next floor, he would probably appear at the edge of the hall.

　　Sure enough, when Zhou Yun walked up the last step of the stairs and climbed up to the second floor of the Power Transmission Tower, a space with the same structure as the first floor appeared in front of him.

　　The central area was still divided by red lines, with dense texts and diagrams on the surrounding walls. There was a spiral staircase in the central hall, and of course, a figure in black standing quietly in front of the staircase holding a sword.

　　Although he was just standing far away, and even when Zhou Yun tried hard to sense the figure's breathing, he couldn't feel the figure's breathing at all, but the pressure from this figure on the second floor of the Power Transmission Tower on Zhou Yun was unprecedented.

　　Even though he was already familiar with the rules of the Kung Fu Transmission Tower, Zhou Yun still had a tingling sensation like a thorn in his back, and he didn't even dare to turn around to look at the Kung Fu techniques on the wall behind him.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun always had a feeling in his heart that as soon as he turned around, the black-clothed war puppet would immediately pounce on him and chop him into pieces with the sword in its hand!

　　Moreover, the black-clothed war puppet was obviously more than ten meters away from him. Even if it wanted to attack, it could not get close to Zhou Yun so quickly. However, Zhou Yun had that feeling in his heart.

　　"How can there be such a strong pressure? What level of cultivation does this war puppet have?" Feeling his body's instinctive reaction, Zhou Yun was horrified and couldn't help but speak out.

　　From the time Zhou Yun started practicing martial arts to now, the person with the highest level of cultivation he has met is Lin Junyao's brother Lin Juntian. When they first met, Lin Juntian's palm, which was almost as powerful as the sky, did not bring as much pressure to Zhou Yun as it does now.

　　Not to mention, Zhou Yun’s cultivation is now much stronger than it was back then!

　　Boom! Boom!

　　As they confronted each other silently, Zhou Yun could even clearly hear his own nervous heartbeat.

　　Now Zhou Yun didn't dare to turn around to look at the secret book on the wall. Although he knew that nothing would probably happen if he turned around, it was obviously impossible for Zhou Yun to concentrate on comprehending and practicing before such an impact.

　　Before reading the secret book, Zhou Yun must find a way to resist the pressure from the black-clothed war puppet.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun tried to calm himself down. Now Zhou Yun was in complete confusion. Zhou Yun knew that this state would not help him at all.

　　As his breathing gradually calmed down, Zhou Yun began to silently accumulate his momentum and started to fight against the black-clad war puppet in the distance.

　　With his knees slightly bent and his upper body leaning forward, Zhou Yun looked like a tiger about to pounce. He began to accumulate momentum according to the Crouching Tiger Stance technique of Tiger Fist.

　　The effect of accumulating momentum in the Crouching Tiger Posture was very powerful. Zhou Yun had already verified this during the martial arts competition in Heyang City. At that time, he relied on the accumulated momentum to defeat Han Qian in one fell swoop. Now Zhou Yun also wanted to use his momentum to counter the momentum of the black-clothed war puppet.

　　In the empty and quiet hall, Zhou Yun's aura has been accumulating more and more powerful. Compared with the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination, the current Zhou Yun is no longer the same in terms of temperament and cultivation.

　　With all his strength accumulated, Zhou Yun's momentum became more and more majestic like a mighty river.

　　However, Zhou Yun's aura seemed to have no effect at all in front of the black-clothed war puppet. His aura did not collide with the black-clothed war puppet's aura in space, but directly penetrated each other.

　　Zhou Yun was still bearing the pressure from the black-clothed war puppet, but the black-clothed war puppet was still not affected at all.

　　Feeling his own aura passing through the body of the black-clothed war puppet like a breeze, leaving no trace at all, Zhou Yun, with a frown on his face, suddenly had a flash of enlightenment in his mind!

　　"Yes, the most important thing to deal with the opponent's pressure is to have a clear mind. No matter how he oppresses me, I will keep my heart and remain unmoved! I just need to radiate my consciousness and feel all the movements around me, instead of deliberately paying attention to the opponent's pressure. Isn't that enough?"

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately put away the Crouching Tiger Posture and stopped accumulating momentum. Instead, he calmed his heart and allowed the pressure to rage in the space of the hall. Zhou Yun kept his mind and felt everything around him.

　　With this response, the impact of the terrifying pressure on Zhou Yun immediately began to weaken. After standing quietly for ten minutes, the pressure no longer had any effect on Zhou Yun.

　　"It's time to take a look at the second-level skills." Knowing that he could handle the pressure behind him with ease, Zhou Yun smiled and slowly turned around.

　　Chapter 46: Leaving the Customs

　　Phantom knife!

　　Similar to the settings of the first level, the introduction listed at the very front directly mentions the name of the secret book in this level.

　　The name of the first level of martial arts is Speed ​​Sword, and the name of the second level of martial arts is Phantom Sword.

　　Walking slowly along the area divided by the red line, half an hour later, Zhou Yun finally read through the key points of the phantom sword.

　　This magic knife is divided into six methods, namely, the six key points of mystery, shadow, spirit, darkness, wind, and dust. The magic knife also cooperates with a breath method, called the key to attracting qi. After reading it carefully, Zhou Yun found that this key to attracting qi is a divergent version of the key to sinking qi in the first level of cultivation.

　　The key to sinking the breath requires the practitioner to sink a breath into the dantian in order to stabilize the body and keep the body stable, laying a good foundation for quickly drawing the sword.

　　The phantom sword relied on the six key points of mystery, shadow, spirit, darkness, wind, and dust to expand the angle of the sword and the attack mode to a level that was impossible to predict. According to the annotations on the wall, when the phantom sword was practiced to perfection, the warrior could attack from any angle, making it impossible for the opponent to defend against it!

　　In order to attack from all kinds of incredible angles, the warrior's movement speed and pace must be extremely exquisite and fast. As we all know, there are only two ways to move quickly. One is to hone the body's own speed to the extreme, and the other is to use true strength to push.

　　The human warrior's body has its limits. If one wants to move quickly under such circumstances, the role of internal strength cannot be ignored.

　　The key to sinking the qi only requires the warrior to hold on to the breath, while the key to drawing the qi is to release the key to sinking the qi again, drawing the true energy to flow freely in the body, pushing the warrior to make faster and more delicate movements.

　　After browsing the techniques on the wall, Zhou Yun began to practice silently.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun began to try to guide the true energy in his Dantian to flow through his body and push his body to move. At the same time, he began to swing the sword in his hand and began to condense his moves according to the six key points of mystery, shadow, spirit, darkness, wind, and dust.

　　These moves are extremely difficult to perform, but Zhou Yun is not in a hurry. After so many years of practice, Zhou Yun has already had a deep understanding of the difficulties of practice.

　　If you can't learn a move quickly, then you should improve it slowly from slow to fast. Just like when Zhou Yun was practicing the speed sword, at the beginning, Zhou Yun could only swing 60 swords in one minute, but by the end of the practice, Zhou Yun could swing 180 swords in one minute.

　　The entry standard for this phantom sword is to be able to complete ten attacks respectively using the six key points of mystery, shadow, spirit, darkness, wind and dust within one minute, which means sixty swords.

　　Although the total number of sword strikes within one minute is much less, but considering that the attack starting points of the phantom sword are not the same, and it is necessary to continuously attack from various angles while moving, the target of sixty swords is already very high.

　　As soon as he started practicing, Zhou Yun had already realized the extraordinary power of this phantom sword.

　　Just imagine, with the attack speed and unexpected angle of the phantom sword, the enemy warrior would have to withstand several attacks from different directions in the blink of an eye. Once such attacks are practiced to perfection, their power in actual combat would be almost overwhelming!

　　It was because of this realization that Zhou Yun began to practice more calmly.

　　Completely immersed in cultivation, Zhou Yun refined his force-generating and qi-inducing techniques bit by bit, gradually reaching the point of selflessness.

　　In a blink of an eye, three days passed. In Heyang City, at the Han family mansion, Han Long had already arrived at the main hall of the Han family early in the morning, waiting for news from Xiqing Town.

　　Ever since the Han family received a response to the reward for clues about Zhou Yun issued by the Black Alliance, Han Long has been looking forward to bringing Zhou Yun back, eating him alive, and avenging his son.

　　Originally, Han Hu had already found clues about Zhou Yun and led his men to Xiqing Town, and the task was almost completed. But at this moment, an accident occurred again.

　　Zhou Yun unexpectedly disappeared in the Black Dragon Mountains near Xiqing Town, and no matter how hard the Han family tried to look for him, they couldn't find him.

　　Sitting quietly in the main seat in the lobby, Han Long listened to the servants' report with a gloomy face.

　　"Master, the second master has sent back a message. There is still no news about Zhou Yun. The second master has led all the people back to Xiqing Town to wait for news. Only Chuanzi was left to search for Zhou Yun's movements in the Black Dragon Mountains. However, there are no results yet." In the lobby, a servant of the Han family was standing there, reporting carefully.

　　After hearing the report from his men, Han Long immediately smashed the teacup in his hand. "Asshole! Can Zhou Yun fly? Almost all the people Han Hu brought were at the top of bone training. They were the strongest warriors in our Han family. So many of them couldn't gain a foothold in the Black Dragon Mountains. How could Zhou Yun, a kid at the beginner level of bone training, be safe and sound in the Black Dragon Mountains!?"

　　"Master, Second Master judges that Zhou Yun should have found a safe place in the Black Dragon Mountains and is hiding there to practice. However, Second Master has deployed many spies and has monitored all the towns along the Black Dragon Mountains. As long as Zhou Yun appears, he will be found. Or, maybe Zhou Yun has died in the Black Dragon Mountains." The servant was slightly frightened by Han Long's tyrannical aura, but he still tried his best to continue reporting.

　　Han Long has been getting more and more angry recently, and all the servants of the Han family are silent, especially after hearing the news a few days ago. The people sent by the Han family not only failed to find Zhou Yun, but also lost two warriors at the peak of bone training in the Black Dragon Mountains. Such a loss made Han Long furious!

　　"Dead? Zhou Yun is as slippery as a loach, how could he die so easily?" After hearing the servant's last guess, Han Long became furious again, "Tell Han Hu to keep looking for him. If he is alive, I must find him. If he is dead, I must find his body. If he can't find Zhou Yun, he can't come back!"

　　Han Long and Han Hu have always had a very good relationship. After all, they are brothers, but no matter how close their brothers are, they are not as important as his only son. Han Hu led people to look for Zhou Yun's whereabouts, but there has been no progress so far, which has made Han Long very dissatisfied.

　　"Yes, Master!" Han Long was like a bomb that could explode at any time. After a hasty reply, the servant immediately left and sent a pigeon to Han Hu.

　　Han Long's order had been issued, and at this time Zhou Yun was already practicing in the power transmission tower.

　　Before he knew it, Zhou Yun had been in the power transmission tower for seven days.

　　call!

　　A figure flashed by quickly, and Zhou Yun used the Feiyun Step among the pneumatic steps to rush out of the red area in the hall and get rid of the attack of the war puppet behind him.

　　"It's really too scary!" Holding on to the wall, Zhou Yun took a deep breath. Looking at the war puppet that had returned to its original position in the red circle, Zhou Yun spoke with lingering fear.

　　After three days of practice, Zhou Yun finally mastered the Magic Sword to the required level. Within one minute, Zhou Yun could launch sixty attacks according to the six key points of the Magic Sword: mystery, shadow, spirit, darkness, wind and dust.

　　Having reached this standard, Zhou Yun naturally wanted to enter the area within the red line to challenge the black-clothed war puppet.

　　Originally, Zhou Yun had planned that even if he was still no match for the war puppet, he could still learn from the battle and find out his own shortcomings.

　　However, Zhou Yun did not expect that as soon as he stepped into the red line, he was immediately attacked like a violent storm. He did not have time to fight back. He was stabbed six or seven times and had to retreat in a hurry.

　　"It's only been a breath since I stepped into the red line area and I've been injured like this. The war puppet on the second level is so powerful. It's really incredible!" Sitting down against the wall, Zhou Yun hurriedly took out the golden wound medicine and poured it on the wound to stop the blood from flowing out.

　　"That war puppet must have reached the peak of muscle training. With that level of training, coupled with combat skills and powerful martial arts, it is simply beyond my ability to resist. It seems that passing the second level of the power transmission tower is not something that can be accomplished overnight." Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh as he watched the war puppet standing quietly in front of the far stairs with its sword in its arms again.

　　After stopping the bleeding from all the wounds, Zhou Yun's wound medicine was almost gone. In addition to the wound medicine, Zhou Yun's space ring was almost out of fresh water and dry food.

　　People who practice martial arts need to eat nutritious food regularly to replenish their energy. Zhou Yun has been practicing at a high intensity but can only fill his stomach with dry food. He knows that if he continues like this, he probably won't be able to hold on for long.

　　"It's time to go out and take a look. The letter to Jun Yao has been sent out for some time, and there must be a reply by now." The second floor of the power transmission tower cannot be passed in a short time. After staying in it for seven days, Zhou Yun also wanted to go out and take a look.

　　In addition to replenishing fresh water and dry food, the most important thing is to receive Jun Yao's reply. Now Zhou Yun wants to contact Zhou Xue at home, but he can only contact her through Lin Jun Yao. Zhou Yun is very worried because he has not received any news from home for almost a month.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately stood up.

　　With the help of the golden wound medicine and Zhou Yun's own strong recovery ability, the bleeding from the knife wounds on his body has stopped. After sorting out his things, Zhou Yun carefully walked down the stairs outside the red line, returned to the first floor of the power transmission tower, and retreated along the passage he came in through.

　　call!

　　After coming out of the power transmission tower, Zhou Yun held his breath and floated up, soon poking his head out from the pool of water.

　　Seven days later, Zhou Yun finally breathed the fresh air outside again. Spreading his arms and paddling, Zhou Yun quickly reached the land at the edge of the pool.

　　Zhou Yun took out a set of dry clothes from the space ring and put them on. He determined the direction and started moving towards the north.

　　"According to the agreement with Jun Yao, Jun Yao's reply should be sent to Pingliang, so I will go directly to Pingliang!"

　　Chapter 47: Sawtooth Black Panther

　　When Zhou Yun wrote to Lin Junyao, he did not expect such a strange phenomenon to occur in Xiqing Town. He did not plan to stay in Xiqing Town for too long, but planned to train all the way north. However, he did not expect that the Shadow Blade Sect's secret treasure suddenly appeared in the Black Dragon Mountains near Xiqing Town. Zhou Yun changed his plan and continued to stay near Xiqing Town.

　　Afterwards, Zhou Yun was lucky enough to come across a power transmission tower of the Shadow Blade Sect, so the delay lasted this long.

　　"Now I should go directly to Pingliang City, receive Jun Yao's letter, and then write back to tell Jun Yao that I will be in Xiqing Town for the next two months." Having confirmed the direction, Zhou Yun headed north while thinking in his mind.

　　After discovering this power transmission tower, Zhou Yun no longer wanted to train in the Black Dragon Mountains. The training in the Black Dragon Mountains was to hone combat skills. But now that Zhou Yun has discovered the power transmission tower of the Shadow Blade Sect and has that powerful war puppet, Zhou Yun already has the best object to hone his combat skills. So what else is there to train for?

　　As for making money by hunting ferocious beasts in the Black Dragon Mountains, after experiencing such a long period of time and only encountering one wave of ferocious beasts rushing out on their own initiative, Zhou Yun also gave up this plan. It was obviously not feasible to make money by hunting ferocious beasts.

　　Without any way to make money, Zhou Yun could only focus on improving his cultivation. With this thought in mind, Zhou Yun quickly moved forward towards the north.

　　There was still very thick white fog lingering halfway up the Black Dragon Mountain Range in the distance. Zhou Yun knew that the secret treasure of the Shadow Blade Sect that had appeared this time should not have been taken away by anyone by this time.

　　He had already discovered the power transmission tower under the pool, so the thick fog above the pool had naturally disappeared. However, the thick fog halfway up the Black Dragon Mountain Range was still there, which meant that the treasures had not yet been discovered.

　　Given the secrecy of the pool and the fact that the Kung Fu Transmission Tower was hidden deep underwater and could not be seen from the outside, Zhou Yun believed that the benefits of the Kung Fu Transmission Tower would be enjoyed by him alone.

　　Now Zhou Yun has reached the second floor of the Kung Fu Transmission Tower. According to the height of the Kung Fu Transmission Tower, there will be at least three more floors above it.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. The first floor of the power transmission tower was for the war puppets in the bone training stage, and the second floor was for the tendon training stage. According to this speculation, the third and fourth floors of the power transmission tower were likely to be war puppets in the stages of internal organ blood exchange and Yijing marrow cleansing.

　　"But how is this possible? A warrior who has undergone marrow cleansing through the Book of Changes is already a Martial Saint, the most powerful martial artist on the Tianyuan Continent. How is it possible that he could be captured and made into a war puppet?" Following his thoughts, Zhou Yun suddenly discovered a fact that was hard for him to accept.

　　"Moreover, even if this is the case, there is a fifth floor in the Tower of Transmission. Could it be that there are beings with higher cultivation levels above the Martial Saint? Or maybe, the third and fourth floors of the Tower of Transmission are just higher, so they occupy a larger space?" Zhou Yun was a little confused as he pondered these mysterious doubts.

　　Although he didn't figure out anything, Zhou Yun knew that even if the tower had only four floors, he could continue to learn the martial arts in the tower until he reached the level of Martial Saint.

　　Moreover, Zhou Yun was learning the secret techniques of the Shadow Blade Sect, a thousand-year-old sect on the Tianyuan Continent!

　　Thinking that others are struggling to get a profound secret book, while he can possess a complete set of Shadow Blade Sect's secret books, and even practice and advance to the level of Martial Saint, Zhou Yun's heart is filled with pride.

　　In a good mood, Zhou Yun's pace gradually quickened as he walked through the dense forest and headed north.

　　Suddenly, a sense of danger came over him, and Zhou Yun couldn't help but stop.

　　After seven days of training in the power transmission tower, Zhou Yun's cultivation has not only become much stronger, but his senses have also become more acute. When the sense of danger appeared, Zhou Yun immediately noticed it.

　　Zhou Yun pulled out the Tianyan steel knife from his back, held it in his hand, took a deep breath, and prepared for battle.

　　Zhou Yun could clearly sense that there was a hint of animality in this hostility, and it was not human. With Zhou Yun's current cultivation, the one that could still make him feel extremely threatened would at least be a level three beast at the tendon training level.

　　But this is clearly the outskirts of the Black Dragon Mountains. How could a level three ferocious beast appear here?

　　While being cautious and on guard, Zhou Yun was still confused.

　　rustle……

　　When Zhou Yun was on guard, with a rustling sound, a ferocious beast with a pitch-black body, a bit like a cheetah, slowly emerged from behind the grass.

　　This ferocious beast is two meters long, with fur as black as ink, and a pair of blood-red eyes flashing with dangerous and ferocious light. The most eye-catching thing is the beast's teeth, which are a full foot long. If you are bitten by such long teeth, you will probably be pierced through and there is no chance of survival.

　　"Sawtooth Black Panther!" The moment Zhou Yun saw this beast, he had already matched it with the Sawtooth Black Panther in the Black Dragon Notes. There was no other reason, the special features of this beast were too obvious.

　　roar!

　　The saw-toothed black panther flashed out from the bushes, looked at Zhou Yun, a fierce light flashed in its blood-red eyes, and it opened its mouth wide and let out a low roar, which made its pair of teeth look particularly terrifying.

　　"How could such a thing appear here? It's already a level three ferocious beast, and a very strong species among the level three ferocious beasts." Looking at the sawtooth black panther, although Zhou Yun was not afraid, he couldn't help but speak out in his heart.

　　This sawtooth black panther is born with extremely fast speed and powerful bite force. It is ferocious and extremely cunning. It likes to bite the necks of its prey. With the length of its sharp teeth, the necks of many prey will be bitten to pieces with one bite!

　　The cultivation level of an adult Sawtooth Black Panther is generally in the middle stage of tendon training. This Sawtooth Black Panther does not look like a full adult yet, so its cultivation level should only be in the initial stage of tendon training.

　　In the power transmission tower, Zhou Yun could easily defeat a war puppet that had reached the peak of bone training and whose combat capability was already extremely strong. This jagged black panther should not pose much threat to him.

　　"I can use you to test my current combat ability." Seeing the jagged black panther approaching step by step, Zhou Yun's face flashed with excitement, and he rushed forward with his sword in hand.

　　In a spacious place in the dense forest, Zhou Yun and the jagged black panther had already begun a confrontation. At this time, another figure had quietly lurked about fifty or sixty meters behind Zhou Yun.

　　The man was covered in weeds, clinging to the ground like a lawn. Even if one looked carefully, it would be difficult to detect his presence.

　　The figure was lurking in the dense weeds, a pair of eyes fixed on Zhou Yun in the distance.

　　"This kid has finally come out and got into such a big trouble. We must tell the second master the news as soon as possible!" This person is Xiaochuan, who was left behind by Han Hu in the Black Dragon Mountains to continue searching for Zhou Yun's whereabouts.

　　After lurking in the Black Dragon Mountains for three days, Xiaochuan did not find any clues about Zhou Yun. However, he did not expect to hear the howl of a ferocious beast today. He originally wanted to go closer and wait for the beast to kill the human warrior and leave, and then pick up the belongings left by the human warrior.

　　However, he didn't expect that this would allow him to directly find Zhou Yun's whereabouts!

　　With both hands, he quickly wrote a line of words on a piece of paper he was carrying. Xiaochuan then took out a gray bird from his shoulder pocket and tied the paper to the bird's leg. The bird immediately flew up silently and flew towards Xiqing Town.

　　In the dense forest, Zhou Yun had already started a battle with the sawtooth black panther. The sawtooth black panther not only had sharp teeth, but also had extremely fast speed, and its claws were also very threatening. However, Zhou Yun had now completely mastered the skills of the speed knife and was familiar with the use of the phantom knife. Although he was no match for the second-floor war puppet, that was because Zhou Yun's combat experience and cultivation level were still far behind the war puppets on the second floor of the power transmission tower.

　　But facing this sawtooth black panther, Zhou Yun was not at such a disadvantage. In addition, the weapon in Zhou Yun's hand was the Tianyan steel knife, which made Zhou Yun not lose the upper hand when fighting against the sawtooth black panther. Every time Zhou Yun swung his knife and collided with the sawtooth black panther's claws, the sawtooth black panther was injured.

　　"Six Secret Skills of the Phantom Sword!" Holding a breath in his dantian and silently guiding this force, Zhou Yun fully utilized the six key points of the Phantom Sword and attacked the jagged black panther from all kinds of unexpected angles. Zhou Yun's attacks were powerful and the angles were very strange, making it difficult for the jagged black panther to defend itself. In less than two minutes, the jagged black panther had been chopped all over by Zhou Yun.

　　"What a waste! The fur of this sawtooth black panther is worth at least five thousand taels of silver. After you chopped it up like that, I guess there won't be anything left." Just as Zhou Yun was fighting fiercely with the sawtooth black panther, a lazy voice suddenly came over.

　　Hearing the voice, Zhou Yun was immediately startled and turned around to look, only to find that four people, three men and one woman, had suddenly stood thirty meters away, and the one who was speaking was the man in the lead.

　　After taking a quick glance, Zhou Yun found that he couldn't even tell what the cultivation level of this group of people was.

　　Without answering the man, Zhou Yun came to his senses and the force of his attack immediately became stronger, instantly forcing the jagged black panther into a dead corner.

　　Although the group of people appeared suddenly, Zhou Yun did not feel any hostility from them. Zhou Yun still believed in his feelings. Now he just needed to kill the sawtooth black panther quickly, and then see what the four people meant.

　　Originally, the Sawtooth Black Panther was struggling to hold on. It couldn't understand why a warrior who seemed to be only at the Bone Training Realm could be so powerful. It wanted to run, but at this time it had already been covered by Zhou Yun's attacks, and it would be difficult to escape even if it ran.

　　Finally, after a final blow of the knife, Zhou Yun cut the body of the jagged black panther directly from the lower abdomen, and it was deader than dead.

　　After killing the Sawtooth Black Panther, Zhou Yun did not rush to collect the body, but turned to the four people standing behind him.

　　Zhou Yun did not feel any hostility from these three men and one woman, but he still kept in mind the things in the Black Dragon Notes, and at this moment he did not dare to be careless at all.

　　"What do you want to do? If you want to go into the mountain, please go ahead." Zhou Yun spoke slowly with a calm face. Although the woman in the opposite team was very beautiful, Zhou Yun did not deliberately look at her more.

　　After saying this, Zhou Yun stood there quietly without saying anything. The four people in front of him were obviously very powerful. Zhou Yun had already made plans in his mind. If they were going to rob the body of this beast, Zhou Yun would just use his space ring to collect the body and then deal with them in the dense forest.

　　As if he could see what Zhou Yun was thinking, the leading man smiled. Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to suddenly sense something, and his originally kind expression suddenly changed.

　　"Who!" Turning back quickly, the man suddenly roared towards the side and behind!

　　Suddenly, a small man was shaken out and crawled towards the direction of Xiqing Town.

　　Chapter 48: Xiantian Martial Master

　　The leading man was about thirty years old, with a leopard skin wrapped around the side of his body, revealing his entire right shoulder and arm. He had a bronze complexion, firm muscles, and a tall and strong figure. One could tell at a glance that he had a bold and unrestrained temperament.

　　His roar was just like his person, sounding like a muffled thunder. It not only shook out the little guy hiding in the bushes, but also made it look like the little guy was seriously injured, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

　　Even Zhou Yun, who was not directly impacted by the sound waves, felt a little confused for a moment.

　　But Zhou Yun quickly gathered his mind and flew out like a nimble falcon, directly attacking the little man who wanted to escape. He had recognized him as a warrior from the Han family. Zhou Yun had seen him during the martial arts examination in Heyang City. At that time, he was also one of the Han family members who accompanied Han Qian to take the test.

　　At that time, Zhou Yun injured Han Qian. The little guy looked at Zhou Yun with great resentment, which left a deep impression on Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun's cultivation is no longer as weak as it was in Heyang. Although Xiaochuan has reached the peak of bone training and is one level higher than Zhou Yun in terms of realm, he is injured now. How can he escape from Zhou Yun's grasp?

　　Using pneumatic steps, Zhou Yun held a breath between his chest and abdomen, and then he lifted and lowered his body. In just a few steps, he caught up with Xiaochuan.

　　Feeling Zhou Yun chasing him, Xiaochuan suddenly pulled out the dagger at his waist, turned around and stabbed Zhou Yun.

　　Having been on guard for a long time, Zhou Yun swung the Tianyan steel knife in his hand across.

　　Gab!

　　With a sound of bone breaking, Xiaochuan's wrist bone was smashed to pieces by Zhou Yun's knife!

　　"Ah!! My hand!" Zhou Yun's attack was so powerful that Xiaochuan immediately felt the piercing pain and couldn't help but scream.

　　But then, the severe pain made him unable to even scream.

　　Swish, swish, swish!

　　After several consecutive cuts, Zhou Yun had already severed the tendons in his hands and feet.

　　At this point, Xiaochuan could only fall to the ground like dough, twitching continuously, unable to utter even a complete sentence.

　　After doing all this, Zhou Yun squatted down, grabbed Xiaochuan's hair and lifted him up.

　　"The Han family's people chased here so quickly? Tell me, how did you get my information? How many people from the Han family came this time, and where are the others?" Pulling Xiaochuan in front of him, Zhou Yun's sharp eyes pierced into his eyes and forced him to ask.

　　Zhou Yun's cold voice reached his ears, and Xiaochuan finally recovered a little from the severe pain. The next moment, he immediately met Zhou Yun's eyes.

　　The moment he saw Zhou Yun, Xiao Chuan's body shook and he immediately wanted to attack. As soon as he moved, he found that his body was as soft as noodles.

　　Knowing that the tendons in his hands and feet had been severed by Zhou Yun, Xiaochuan gave up struggling.

　　With a strange smile on his face, Xiaochuan said contemptuously, "Hehe, I didn't expect you to grow so fast and reach such a high level. We all underestimated you."

　　Unlike Feishu, the warrior of the Han family was very tough. Although he screamed when his wrist was smashed just now, he has become calm again after calming down.

　　Although this man was somewhat dignified, Zhou Yun did not intend to praise him. Now Zhou Yun just wanted to get the answer he wanted, "Answer my question, otherwise..."

　　"Hahaha!" Xiaochuan laughed wildly before Zhou Yun finished speaking, "What else are you going to do? Do you think you will let me go if I tell you? Zhou Yun, just wait, the head of the family and the second master will not let you go. If you offend the Han family, you will be hunted down endlessly!"

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaochuan's mouth moved secretly, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

　　"Not good!" Zhou Yun realized the danger in an instant and quickly stepped back.

　　bump!!

　　Then, the sound of an explosion was heard, and a foul-smelling black liquid splashed out, covering an area within a radius of five meters.

　　The black juice fell on the ground, and the flowers and plants on the ground were immediately corroded, making a sizzling sound. In a short moment, they became pitch black and lost their vitality.

　　Zhou Yun sensed the danger in advance and had already retreated far away. When he looked over, he found that Xiaochuan's entire head had been blown to pieces, and he was dead beyond dead.

　　Seeing this, Zhou Yun frowned.

　　I didn't expect that an ordinary warrior of the Han family would have such a tough character. An ordinary warrior can be so fearless of life and death. It shows how powerful the Han family is.

　　"Who is this person?" At this time, the leader of the four-man team had also walked up and stood with Zhou Yun.

　　"One of my enemies has been chasing me." Without turning around to look, Zhou Yun spoke silently. Although his feet did not move, Zhou Yun's body slowly tensed up and he was on guard.

　　Zhou Yun has not yet determined who this group of warriors are and whether they have any ill intentions, so he naturally has to be extremely careful.

　　"Haha, relax a little. We just heard that there was some unusual movement of the Shadow Blade Sect's secret treasure, so we came to take a look. We are not bandits who make a living by looting. Besides, if we want to harm you, you will have no room to resist." Feeling the changes in Zhou Yun's body, the man immediately laughed heartily.

　　At the same time, he clenched his fists slightly, and suddenly, a surge of true energy flowed out from the man's body. The two were two meters apart, and Zhou Yun felt that he was trapped in a terrifying force field, controlled by the surrounding true energy flow, and could not even move!

　　"The true energy comes out of your body to form a force field! You are a congenital martial artist!" Feeling that his body was unable to move, Zhou Yun immediately exclaimed in surprise.

　　Only when a warrior has cultivated to the innate martial arts master level of training organs and exchanging blood, can the true energy in the body be released outside the body. This man can not only release the true energy in his body, but also form a force field, so that the surrounding area within a radius of several meters is under his control.

　　Such a level of cultivation is obviously no longer that of an ordinary innate martial artist. This man may have reached the pinnacle of organ training and blood transfusion!

　　From childhood to adulthood, this is the first time that Zhou Yun has met such a powerful master!

　　Although Zhou Yun had met the old patriarch of the Qin family before, and he knew that the old patriarch of the Qin family had already become a martial artist with the ability to practice internal organs and exchange blood, Zhou Yun had never seen the patriarch of the Qin family perform martial arts, so naturally he had no direct experience. Today, Zhou Yun finally met a true innate martial artist!

　　With an undeniable smile, the man retracted his force field.

　　At this time Zhou Yun also relaxed. Just as the big man said, with his cultivation as a congenital martial artist, it would be easy for him to do something bad to him. From the moment he appeared in the battle between him and the jagged black panther until now, if he had any ill intentions, he could probably kill him several times.

　　"Hey big brother, I'm Zhou Yun. Thank you for what you did just now." Turning around, Zhou Yun clasped his fists towards the man to express his gratitude.

　　Zhou Yun was thanking him for helping him find the Han family member hiding in the dark. With Zhou Yun's cultivation, it would be difficult for him to find someone watching him in the dark. Although Zhou Yun's cultivation was not weak, his realm was still a little behind. The Han family warrior was indeed good at keeping secrets, so Zhou Yun didn't notice anything unusual.

　　If there was no such team, and the Han family warrior suddenly launched a sneak attack at the critical moment of the battle, Zhou Yun would probably not be able to withstand it.

　　"Hahaha, these are just small matters. It's normal for warriors in the martial arts world to help each other. Besides, I can tell at a glance that you have an upright and pure heart. You're a friend worth making friends with. Come on, let me introduce you to the people in our team." With a hearty laugh, the man took Zhou Yun and walked towards the other three warriors in his team at the far end.

　　Only at this time did Zhou Yun have time to take a good look at the four men. The leading warrior was six feet tall, a full head taller than Zhou Yun. He had a strong build, short hair like steel needles, thick eyebrows and a square mouth. With his messy stubble and animal skins wrapped around his body, he looked wild and unruly.

　　One of the other two men in the team was very thin, wearing white clothes as white as snow, with a long sword tied at his waist, and his long hair tied up with a green ribbon. His face was also gentle and humble, like a modest gentleman.

　　The other man was dressed in black, with a gloomy look and no expression on his face. His hands were hidden deep in his sleeves. For some reason, this man in black gave off a hint of danger, making people afraid to approach him casually.

　　As for the woman in the team, Zhou Yun couldn't help but take a few more glances. The woman was wearing a light blue dress, her hair was like flowing clouds, her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings. Although she was just standing there quietly, she gave Zhou Yun a feeling that it was in line with the laws of nature, as if the woman's casual standing was in accordance with the principles of heaven and earth, and there was no weakness at all.

　　This feeling made Zhou Yun feel very magical, but Zhou Yun could not feel any energy and blood power from the woman at all, as if he was facing a person who had no martial arts skills at all.

　　What surprised Zhou Yun the most was that no matter how hard he tried to look at the woman, he seemed unable to remember her face. As soon as he turned his eyes away, he could not remember what she looked like. There was only one impression in his mind, that the woman was very beautiful, even perfect, but lacked a bit of worldliness, and was a little too ethereal.

　　Staring at a girl for too long was very impolite, so Zhou Yun quickly retracted his gaze. At this time, Zhou Yun had already determined in his heart that these people were not simple.

　　While he was thinking, Zhou Yun had already been taken by the leading man to the other three people.

　　"Brother Zhou Yun, this swordsman in white is called Ye Changfeng, this poisonous creature in black is called Li Yan, and this beauty is our eldest daughter Meng Qingchen. As for me, you can just call me Chu Kuang." The five people were already standing together, and the leader named Chu Kuang introduced them generously.

　　Chapter 49 The Mysterious Four

　　Chu Kuang had finished his introduction, and Zhou Yun immediately politely saluted the three people with his fists clasped, "Hello, everyone."

　　Facing Zhou Yun's salute, the remaining three people in the team had different reactions. Although Ye Changfeng, the swordsman in white, did not speak, he smiled and nodded politely at Zhou Yun as a response. Li Yan, who was dressed in black, did not even turn his head, with a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

　　Meng Qingchen turned around and looked at Zhou Yun calmly, then turned his head back again. This time, Zhou Yun still didn't remember Meng Qingchen's appearance clearly.

　　Zhou Yun felt a little embarrassed for taking the initiative to greet others but getting such a result. He turned to Chu Kuang and said, "Brother Chu, everyone, I have something important to do, so I can't stay here any longer. The man just now is my enemy, and he should have notified the others. The others should be here soon, so I have to leave here immediately."

　　After killing the Han family member just now, Zhou Yun had already decided that he would leave immediately once things here were dealt with and would not stay here any longer.

　　Ye Changfeng, Li Yan and Meng Qingchen were still standing there, not saying anything. Only Chu Kuang asked, "Brother Zhou Yun, what hatred does that person have against you?"

　　Chu Kuang was straightforward and generous, so Zhou Yun didn't want to hide anything from him, and responded directly, "I am the descendant of a foreign servant. In order to pass the martial arts examination, I injured several noble heirs in the arena, so they have been trying to get rid of me."

　　After hearing what Zhou Yun said, Chu Kuang nodded and exclaimed, "Little brother Zhou Yun is indeed not simple. I have made you my friend. Since you are in a hurry to leave now, we will not keep you. We will be in the Black Dragon Mountains in the next few months. If you come back, I think we can still meet."

　　"Well, see you later!" Zhou Yun clasped his hands and bowed to the four people in front of him, then turned and walked towards the body of the sawtooth black panther. Such a level 3 beast's body must be worth at least 30,000 taels of silver, so Zhou Yun couldn't give it up easily.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun trying to wrap the body of the Sawtooth Black Panther with a piece of linen, the three men in the back all laughed. Only Meng Qingchen didn't laugh, or maybe she laughed too, but didn't say anything, because Chu Tian was too embarrassed to look back.

　　While laughing loudly, Chu Kuang said, "Brother Zhou Yun, just use your space ring to take away the body of the sawtooth black panther. It's really troublesome to skin it and extract its tendons."

　　Hearing Chu Kuang's words, Zhou Yun immediately felt a burning sensation on his face.

　　"Brother Zhou Yun, the Black Dragon Mountains have been unstable recently. Even in the dense forests at the foot of the mountain, there are level three and level four ferocious beasts. I suggest you walk outside the dense forest and be careful." After Chu Kuang's words, Ye Changfeng also spoke.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had already used the space ring to pack up the body of the Sawtooth Black Panther.

　　"Zhou Yun." Just as he was about to turn around to thank her, a fairy-like female voice came from afar, seeming far and near.

　　As soon as the voice came out, Zhou Yun immediately stood up straight and looked towards Meng Qingchen.

　　This time, Zhou Yun actually saw Meng Qingchen’s face clearly!

　　What a peerless face it was! With just one glance, Zhou Yun's consciousness seemed to be completely absorbed, as if all the beauty in the world had been gathered together. Meng Qingchen was like an endless whirlpool, sucking in everything between heaven and earth, leaving only Meng Qingchen alone, as if she was the center of the world.

　　Standing there, Meng Qingchen looked at Zhou Yun quietly. His eyes were like stars and lakes, which would make people fall into them unconsciously.

　　"Zhou Yun, in martial arts practice, martial arts and tactics are important, but the level of your cultivation is the most crucial core. Remember not to lose sight of the main goal." Under Zhou Yun's gaze, Meng Qingchen slightly opened her red lips, and a sound like jade beads falling on a plate came out, which was deeply imprinted in Zhou Yun's heart.

　　After leaving a message, Meng Qingchen turned around and headed for the depths of the Black Dragon Mountains. Chu Kuang and Ye Changfeng followed closely. Li Yan, dressed in black, flashed a black light at his fingertips. With a flick of his finger, the black light directly attached to Xiaochuan's body at the far end and disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace.

　　Zhou Yun didn't wake up until Meng Qingchen and others had left.

　　"Who are these people?" Zhou Yun was filled with shock and confusion as he watched Meng Qingchen and the others leave. Even though they were just walking casually, their speed was not slow at all. They disappeared from Zhou Yun's sight in just a few breaths.

　　Meng Qingchen's words also gave Zhou Yun a great shock. In martial arts practice, is the level of cultivation still the most important thing?

　　Thinking back to my current situation, I have done quite well in the training of Speed ​​Sword and Phantom Sword, and have also made some progress in Pneumatic Step. However, I am still powerless against the war puppets on the second floor of the Power Transmission Tower. Is it because my cultivation is only at the middle stage of Bone Training?

　　Even if a person who has only reached the middle stage of bone training has incredible combat experience and skills, it is still difficult for him to defeat a war puppet who has reached the peak of tendon training and also possesses powerful combat experience and skills!

　　Meng Qingchen's words completely awakened Zhou Yun and let him know the direction of his efforts. Looking back, Zhou Yun had not entered the mysterious space to practice for a long time, and rarely practiced the Crazy Bear Fist. It seemed that it was time to take it out again and study it carefully.

　　After all, his combat experience and skills are already pretty good now, what he lacks is the level of his cultivation.

　　Moreover, in the introduction of Qidongbu, among the four key points that determine the outcome of a battle, the level of cultivation is still the most important.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun also understood what he should do.

　　"After returning from Pingliang City this time, I will immediately go into seclusion and strive to improve my tendon training!" Zhou Yun muttered to himself, and directly put the body of the jagged black panther into the space ring, then turned and continued on his way towards Pingliang City.

　　This time, Zhou Yun followed Ye Changfeng's advice and did not go directly through the jungle outside the Black Dragon Mountains. Instead, he quickly left the Black Dragon Mountains and headed quickly towards Pingliang City in the north along a safe path.

　　In the dense forest of the Black Dragon Mountains, Chu Kuang and others were still walking forward leisurely. Although their steps were very relaxed, their speed was not slow at all.

　　"Qingchen, you let him see your face just now? Why? It's not easy for us to see it normally. Moreover, you also pointed out the wrong path in his cultivation. This is not like you." With a smile still on his face, Chu Kuang asked casually.

　　"This young man is no ordinary man. He is about to reach the peak of bone training at the age of fifteen. And I guess he has obtained a secret treasure of the Shadow Blade Sect. His future is limitless. That matter will not be suppressed for a few years. On our Tianyuan Continent, every additional strong man is beneficial." Meng Qingchen said calmly as she walked with her skirt fluttering.

　　"Yes, this young man is indeed extraordinary, and Li Yan also helped him just now. The people who are chasing him will probably suffer a great loss. But whether he can overcome the difficulties in the next year depends on himself." Ye Changfeng, who was dressed in white and carrying a long sword on his back, also spoke.

　　Hearing Ye Changfeng talking about himself, Li Yan did not respond, but just smiled slightly.

　　Zhou Yun had already walked diagonally out of the dense forest outside the Black Dragon Mountains. Outside the dense forest, there were many horses and some porters guarding the horses. These should have been left behind by those who entered the Black Dragon Mountains to search for treasure.

　　Zhou Yun bought a fast horse at a high price and rode it directly towards Pingliang City.

　　With the horses, I believe Zhou Yun will arrive in Pingliang much earlier than scheduled. For Zhou Yun now, time is the most important thing.

　　At this time, the carrier pigeon released by Xiaochuan had already returned to Xiqing Town.

　　In a restaurant in Xiqing Town, Han Hu, Qingliu Gongzi and others gathered in a large room, waiting for news.

　　This wait has lasted four days, and Han Hu, who has always been patient, is now a little annoyed.

　　He had already received a letter from Han Long and was scolded by Han Long. Naturally, Han Hu was not in a good mood.

　　"After I find you, Zhou Yun, I will tear you into pieces!" Han Hu spoke word by word, gritting his teeth.

　　Han Hu has been in the underworld for so many years, but he has never been fooled like this before. The current situation seems like Zhou Yun is fooling him, which makes Han Hu more and more angry.

　　Suddenly, there was a sound of flapping wings, and a gray carrier pigeon landed in from the window.

　　Seeing the carrier pigeon, Han Hu's face immediately brightened with joy, and all the people from the Han family sitting in the room, including Master Qingliu, came over at once.

　　Han Hu stretched out his hand and let the pigeon land on the back of his hand, then he immediately took off the note tied to the pigeon's leg.

　　As soon as he saw the words on the note, a cruel smile immediately appeared on Han Hu's face.

　　"Second Master, what's the matter? Has Zhou Yun been found?" Seeing Han Hu's expression, everyone in the Han family knew that things had taken a turn for the better, and a warrior from the Han family immediately asked.

　　"Well, Chuanzi has found Zhou Yun and is now under surveillance. Let's set off immediately and track him according to the marks left by Chuanzi!" After throwing the note and the carrier pigeon aside, Han Hu immediately stood up and gave the order.

　　"Okay!" The warriors of the Han family, who had been waiting impatiently in the inn, heard that Zhou Yun had been found. They could no longer wait and sorted out their weapons. After a moment, they gathered together.

　　After ordering the waiter to move the war horses out of the stable, the Han family and Master Qingliu immediately rode their horses towards the dense forest outside the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　"Zhou Yun, let's put an end to what happened between us today!" With a cruel smile on his face, Han Hu urged his horse to move forward while speaking ferociously.

　　Chapter 50: Corpse Poison

　　Han Hu, who was rushing to the Black Dragon Mountains, kept urging his horse forward because he was worried that Chuanzi could not keep an eye on Zhou Yun.

　　Chuanzi's note said that Zhou Yun was fighting a saw-toothed black panther, and he was watching carefully.

　　Han Hu naturally did not reveal this information to the team members. The sawtooth black panther was a third-level fierce beast, equivalent to the cultivation level of a human warrior who practiced tendons. According to the information on Chuanzi's note, the sawtooth black panther was at the initial stage of tendon training, equivalent to Han Hu.

　　But this news could not make Han Hu happy, because he was only in the initial stage of muscle training. He knew the Sawtooth Black Panther of course. With his level of cultivation, if he met the Sawtooth Black Panther, he would probably only be able to fight to a draw. It would be difficult to kill the opponent, but saving his life should not be a problem.

　　What made him feel most incredible was that Zhou Yun could actually fight with the jagged black panther, and he seemed to be not at a disadvantage. In this case, didn't Zhou Yun already have the cultivation level of tendon training?

　　It had been less than a month since the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination. At that time, Zhou Yun had just started to train his bones. How was it possible that he had reached the level of training his tendons in such a short time?

　　You know, it took Han Hu five years of practice to move from bone training to tendon training!

　　"What on earth is in the treasure box of the mighty general? It can actually allow Zhou Yun's cultivation to improve rapidly again and again!" While urging his horse forward, Han Hu was still thinking in his heart. Zhou Yun's cultivation was improving too fast, which was far beyond his expectations.

　　Since Zhou Yun is already able to fight with the Sawtooth Black Panther, it means that his cultivation is roughly equal to his own. Now he can only hope that Zhou Yun will be injured by the Sawtooth Black Panther and his strength will be reduced, and then he can be subdued by relying on the advantage in numbers.

　　Han Hu knew that this was his only chance. If he couldn't catch Zhou Yun this time, he was afraid that Zhou Yun would not be someone the Han family could handle. Han Hu was a smart man. Although he wanted the Han family to enjoy Zhou Yun's treasures alone, it seemed that the Han family no longer had this appetite.

　　If he fails to catch Zhou Yun this time, he plans to send the news directly back to Heyang, and then announce it to gather all the nobles in Heyang City who want to deal with Zhou Yun to take action together.

　　Now Zhou Yun and the nobles of Heyang City have become enemies, and no one wants to see Zhou Yun becoming increasingly powerful.

　　While he was thinking, Han Hu had already taken the lead and rode his horse to the dense forest outside the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　"Get off the horse, quickly, time is running out!" Han Hu jumped off the horse and called out to the people behind him.

　　All of a sudden, the remaining four warriors of the Han family and Young Master Qingliu jumped off their horses. Everyone knew the importance of this operation, so without mobilizing anyone, they tied up their horses and followed Han Hu into the depths of the dense forest at the foot of the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　In the past few days, everyone in the Han family has been searching for Zhou Yun's whereabouts in this dense forest. They are already very familiar with the terrain of this dense forest. According to the information left by Chuanzi, Han Hu led everyone forward quickly.

　　Now we must first find the place that Chuanzi mentioned, and then look for Zhou Yun's whereabouts according to the secret codes left nearby.

　　Although it is very likely that one will encounter high-level ferocious beasts while traveling so quickly through the dense forest, Han Hu no longer cares about these things. Now he just wants to quickly find the traces left by Chuanzi and track down Zhou Yun's whereabouts.

　　Although Han Hu has not met Zhou Yun along the way, he has already observed that although Zhou Yun is young, he is definitely a meticulous and ruthless character. Han Hu himself does not believe that Zhou Yun would be so careless as to stay in one place for so long.

　　After entering the dense forest, Han Hu said nothing along the way, just headed forward. Since they were on the road with a purpose, they moved forward very quickly. After an hour, Han Hu finally brought everyone from the Han family to the place mentioned in Chuanzi's note.

　　However, there was no mark left in that area. There was only a very conspicuous piece of black land and a headless male corpse who had been dead for a long time.

　　"Second Master, that's Xiaochuan!" When the Han family saw the corpse, they reacted immediately. Having been together day and night, the warriors of the Han family were already very familiar with each other. In addition, the shape of the dead corpse made the Han family even more familiar.

　　It was clearly caused by Ogawa biting the poison pill in his mouth at the last moment, attempting to die together with the enemy.

　　"It seems that Zhou Yun has indeed escaped." In fact, Han Hu was the first person to see Xiaochuan's body, but he still instinctively couldn't believe it. In fact, Han Hu had such worries when he received the note. Since Zhou Yun could fight against the Jagged Black Panther on his own, then killing Xiaochuan would be a piece of cake.

　　But Han Hu really didn't expect that Zhou Yun actually did it.

　　The dense forest suddenly became quiet, and everyone in the Han family walked over in silence.

　　Ogawa's death was so tragic. His head had been completely blown to pieces, and his hand and foot tendons had been severed. His body was twisted in an extremely irregular manner. It was obvious what kind of pain he had endured before his death.

　　"Zhou Yun, you and I cannot coexist!" Han Hu gritted his teeth and spoke gloomily. He lost Zhou Yun again this time. Han Hu knew that it would be impossible for him to find Zhou Yun soon. Now he could only retreat and wait for another opportunity.

　　They all noticed that Han Hu looked unhappy, and none of the warriors of the Han family dared to offend Han Hu. After more than two minutes, seeing that Han Hu's expression had calmed down a little, a warrior of the Han family stepped forward and asked, "Second Master, what should we do now?"

　　Han Hu took a deep breath, as if he had finally let go of something, and spoke slowly, "Little Four, send a pigeon to the head of the family immediately and tell him that Zhou Yun's cultivation is improving very quickly, and he may have reached the initial stage of tendon training! Moreover, Zhou Yun is so elusive in the Black Dragon Mountains that we have no chance of catching him on our own. I ask you to unite all the nobles in Heyang City to kill Zhou Yun together."

　　"Tell the head of the family that this matter must be taken seriously. The behavior of the Heyang nobleman in the martial arts exam has planted hatred in Zhou Yun's heart. This person is ruthless, meticulous and difficult to deal with, and his cultivation level improves very quickly. Therefore, we must not let him go. If he is allowed to grow up, it will definitely be a disaster for our Han family!"

　　Seeing Han Hu's solemn expression, the warrior called Xiao Si by Han Hu also looked serious. After hearing what Han Hu said, Xiao Si nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Second Master, I'll do it right away!"

　　After leaving a message, Xiao Si immediately found a flat tree stump, took out a hard pen and a piece of paper from his arms, and began to write quickly.

　　"You collect Chuanzi's body, we will immediately retreat to Nanyun City and wait for reinforcements." Han Hu is also a decisive person. After seeing Xiaochuan's body, Han Hu immediately judged that Zhou Yun must have killed the Sawtooth Black Panther and then found Xiaochuan.

　　According to this situation, Zhou Yun's current cultivation level is likely to be higher than his. Looking at Xiaochuan's appearance before his death, he probably didn't reveal any information to Zhou Yun, but Han Hu understood that their group of people may have been suppressed by Zhou Yun in terms of combat power, and continuing the search would definitely not bring good results.

　　Even if they retreat to Xiqing Town, they may not be safe. If Zhou Yun knows the strength of the warriors in their team, he may launch a surprise attack.

　　Han Hu had already heard from Master Qingliu about Zhou Yun's battle with them, and he was well aware of Zhou Yun's ruthlessness. This was a dangerous person who would pounce on his opponent and bite his neck if there was a slight chance.

　　After hearing Han Hu's words, the remaining people of the Han family immediately began to collect Xiaochuan's body.

　　Suddenly, Master Qingliu, who was standing next to Han Hu, felt an unprecedented crisis. As soon as Xiaochuan's body moved slightly, Master Qingliu immediately sensed the danger.

　　"careful!"

　　boom!

　　Just as a careful reminder was spoken, Ogawa's body suddenly exploded violently, and a stream of black liquid immediately covered the area within a radius of ten meters.

　　The three warriors of the Han family, plus Han Hu, including Young Master Qingliu, were all covered with that horrible black juice.

　　As soon as the black liquid fell on the clothes, no matter they were cloth or leather armor, they were all vulnerable. It was like a spark falling on silk, and it directly corroded and penetrated the clothes of the Han family and Master Qingliu. It even did not stop after contacting the skin, and corroded directly into it!

　　Then, the places where the black juice splashed on everyone revealed their white bones, and the bones turned pitch black!

　　"ah!!!!"

　　"It's the corpse-dissolving poison from the Ten Thousand Poisons Villa! How could this happen!"

　　The people who were splashed by the black juice could not bear the pain and began to scream. When the black juice touched the skin, they immediately felt an extremely burning sensation, as if the body was about to be burned, the flesh was destroyed, and even the bones were directly corroded and penetrated. The most terrifying thing was that when all this happened, the poisoned people could still feel it clearly!

　　The three warriors of the Han family, including the poisoned Han Hu, were screaming, and among the group, the one who knew best what kind of poison this was was Young Master Qingliu.

　　Master Qingliu was an expert in using poison. As soon as he saw the toxicity of the black juice, he knew that his life was over.

　　Even a congenital martial artist would die if he was poisoned by the corpse-transforming poison in the Ten Thousand Poison Villa. He just didn't understand why Zhou Yun had the corpse-transforming poison from the Ten Thousand Poison Villa that had been destroyed by the Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　"I really shouldn't have been so greedy." The black poison had already corroded his arms and thighs, and it was still spreading. With his eyes empty, Master Qingliu said this blankly, and fell down like a felled tree.

　　Then, the black poison spread, and Qingliu Gongzi Jing disappeared directly, turning into a pool of black water and seeping into the ground.

　　In the distance, Xiao Si, who was sent by Han Hu to deliver a carrier pigeon to the Han family, released the carrier pigeon. Just as he was about to turn back to report, he saw this hellish scene.

　　Listening to the screams of Han Hu and others, and watching the five people in front of him rot and disappear bit by bit, Xiao Si collapsed directly.

　　"ah!"

　　Roaring wildly, Xiao Si rushed out of the dense forest under the Black Dragon Mountains like a madman.

　　Chapter 51 Pingliang

　　The corpse-transforming poison left by Li Yan almost wiped out Han Hu's team of warriors. Even Young Master Qingliu died there. Zhou Yun naturally didn't know about these things. He was still on his way to Pingliang City.

　　Xiqing Town is more than two hundred miles away from Pingliang City, which is not too far. Since Zhou Yun was riding a horse, he reached Pingliang City in less than two hours.

　　From afar, the magnificent city walls of Pingliang City have come into Zhou Yun's sight. Pingliang is the capital city of Xichuan Province. It is located in the west of the center of Xichuan Province and is not too close to the Black Dragon Mountains. This area has become prosperous more because of various large-scale transactions.

　　Xichuan Province is adjacent to the Black Dragon Mountains, and there are many small towns along the line. The treasures from the wild beasts and ferocious beasts brought out from the Black Dragon Mountains, as well as some natural treasures, secret recipes of elixirs, etc., are all concentrated in Pingliang City from the businesses in various small towns, and then traded in larger quantities.

　　Since Xichuan Province is mountainous and has little farmland, it has always been a rice distribution center for a large area nearby.

　　Walking on the official road outside Pingliang City, Zhou Yun had seen several teams of grain transport vehicles leaving Pingliang City and delivering grain to nearby towns.

　　After all, it is the provincial capital. Although there are many adventurous warriors in Pingliang City, the whole city seems to be very orderly, which is completely different from the feeling brought by Nanyun City and Xiqing Town.

　　Approaching the city gate, Zhou Yun, like everyone else, jumped off his horse and led the horse into the city.

　　This time when Zhou Yun entered the city, he had three things to do. The first was to receive Jun Yao's letter, the second was to deal with the body of the jagged black panther in his hand, and the last was to prepare a large amount of dry food and water.

　　After Meng Qingchen's advice, Zhou Yun has also determined his training strategy for the next period of time. During his previous training in the Power Transmission Tower, Zhou Yun has become familiar with combat skills and has accumulated considerable combat experience. Next, he must shift more of his attention to improving his cultivation. Now Zhou Yun has reached the middle stage of bone training. If he concentrates on practicing for a period of time, he will probably be able to break through to the peak of bone training soon.

　　Zhou Yun has already made a plan in his mind, and he must reach the muscle training realm within two months.

　　There are still two months before going to the Shenwei Training Camp. After these two months, Zhou Yun must have the strength to fight the war puppets on the second floor of the Transmission Tower. Even if he cannot win, at least he cannot be defeated quickly.

　　Thinking about it, Zhou Yun had already entered Heyang City. He did not look for an inn to stay in. Zhou Yun went straight along the street to find the official post station in Pingliang City. If Jun Yao's letter had been sent, it would definitely be stored in the official post station.

　　Official post stations are usually located on the main street, which is also the rule for all towns, so it is not difficult to find. Soon, Zhou Yun found the official post station of Pingliang City on the main street of Pingliang City.

　　"Help me lead the horse in and feed it some food." There were many servants waiting by the side of the post station, ready to receive some guests. Zhou Yun handed the reins in his hand to a servant and instructed.

　　"Don't worry, sir." Nodding in agreement, the servant immediately signed Zhou Yun's horse and walked towards the backyard through the alley next to the post station.

　　The horse had been taken away. Zhou Yun tidied his clothes and entered the post station.

　　Since it was officially established, the post station was very quiet. Although there were many people, everything was in order.

　　"Sir, what do you need?" Seeing Zhou Yun come in, another servant immediately spoke up.

　　"I'm going to get a letter, express delivery." Zhou Yun spoke slowly with a calm expression.

　　When the servant heard Zhou Yun say the words "first-class express, a thousand miles away", his expression immediately became serious. In the Tianyuan Dynasty, those who could afford first-class express, a thousand miles away were not ordinary people. Except for the nobles, if ordinary people used first-class express, the cost would undoubtedly be extremely high.

　　"Please follow me." With a respectful look on his face, the servant bowed and invited Zhou Yun to a quiet room.

　　"Please write your code here, and wait a moment. I will ask the manager to come over." After pouring tea for Zhou Yun, the servant took out a small box from his arms and spoke politely.

　　Without saying a word, Zhou Yun opened the small box, took out the paper and pen inside, wrote a line of words, and handed it to the servant.

　　After carefully putting away the small box Zhou Yun handed to him, the servant said respectfully, "I'll take my leave."

　　Leaving behind a word, the servant retreated carefully, not looking sideways. The official post station regulations of the Tianyuan Dynasty were very strict, especially for guests who could use the first-class express, they were absolutely not allowed to read their secret codes.

　　Sitting on the chair, Zhou Yun sipped his tea silently. After a while, the door was opened again, and a middle-aged man who looked like a manager walked in holding an exquisite box.

　　Just now, he had found the code words written by Zhou Yun among all the first-class express letters sent to Pingliang City, and also found the letter that Zhou Yun was about to receive.

　　"Sir, I am the secret letter manager in Pingliang City. You can just call me Manager Hu. Here is your letter." After the middle-aged man came in, he greeted Zhou Yun politely, and then placed the exquisite box on the small table next to Zhou Yun.

　　"Thank you, Manager Hu. I will send a letter back later." Zhou Yun did not rush to open the letter. He sat there calmly and spoke slowly.

　　"Okay, you can call me anytime if you have any instructions." Knowing that Zhou Yun wanted him to leave first, Manager Hu was not an ignorant person. He clasped his fists towards Zhou Yun, then left the house and closed the door for Zhou Yun.

　　As soon as Manager Hu left, Zhou Yun immediately opened the box in front of him. Inside the box, an exquisite envelope immediately appeared in Zhou Yun's eyes.

　　Zhou Yun recognized the envelope as soon as he saw it, as he had been corresponding with Lin Junyao for many years. There was no inscription on the envelope, it was completely blank, but Zhou Yun didn't care, he just opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

　　When he unfolded the letter, a faint fragrance immediately wafted out. This was the smell of Lin Junyao, and Zhou Yun was extremely familiar with it.

　　It has been a month since Zhou Yun last saw Jun Yao since they last separated. Although they didn't see each other often before, for some reason, Zhou Yun missed Lin Jun Yao especially after this separation.

　　After taking a deep sniff of the scent on the letter paper, Zhou Yun began to read the letter Lin Junyao wrote to him.

　　On the snow-white letter paper, a line of beautiful small characters were neatly arranged. Over the years, reading the letters from Lin Junyao was the happiest thing for Zhou Yun.

　　Lin Junyao is a woman of both talent and character, even more so than her sister Zhou Xue. It is precisely because Lin Junyao is a woman of both talent and character that she is particularly grateful to Zhou Yun for saving her that year, and that is why she communicated and met with Zhou Yun afterwards, until the two gradually became each other's recognized partners.

　　Unlike the short letter Zhou Yun wrote to Lin Junyao, this letter written by Lin Junyao was very long.

　　The opening sentence 'My beloved Zhou Yun' made Zhou Yun's heart beat violently, and the feeling of happiness almost made Zhou Yun want to scream.

　　Although the two had already recognized each other, Lin Junyao had always been somewhat conservative and never used such intimate terms. But after what happened in Heyang last time, Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao seemed to have figured it all out at once and no longer avoided talking about their feelings.

　　Zhou Yun used the term "Jun Yao Ai Jian" in his letter, and Lin Jun Yao's reply also used the endearment between men and women as the title.

　　In the letter, Lin Junyao told Zhou Yun everything about her life in the capital as usual. Although they were far apart, Zhou Yun could clearly know what she was doing every day from Junyao's letter.

　　Although she was a noble lady, Lin Junyao was indeed a very smart and honest girl. She knew how difficult Zhou Yun's life was, and all she could do for Zhou Yun was to stay quietly in the capital and not let Zhou Yun worry about her.

　　It took Zhou Yun ten minutes to finish reading Jun Yao's letter. With a sigh of relief, Zhou Yun closed the letter, knowing that Jun Yao was doing well in the capital and there were no new changes in Heyang City, Zhou Yun finally put his mind at ease.

　　After putting Jun Yao's letter into his space ring, Zhou Yun began to write a reply to Jun Yao.

　　After this experience, before reporting to the Shenwei training camp, Zhou Yun must go and see Jun Yao first, and this also requires an appointment in advance.

　　Unfolding a piece of letter paper, Zhou Yun began to write seriously.

　　Zhou Yun was quickly writing a reply to Lin Junyao in the post station, but he didn't expect that he had been targeted by a group of people at this time.

　　Outside the Pingliang City Post Station, two young men in ordinary clothes were stopping by a street stall. Apparently they were eating snacks, but in fact, their eyes never left the entrance of the post station.

　　"Did you see clearly? This is the person that Master Qingliu asked us to keep an eye on, right?" These two people were Wanshengmen's spies in Pingliang City. They had received the task assigned by Master Qingliu a long time ago to keep an eye on Pingliang City to see if Zhou Yun would come here.

　　"We only saw each other once, so I couldn't see clearly, but I'm about 80% sure. Young Master Qingliu also said before that Zhou Yun's next stop is very likely to be Pingliang. I can't be wrong." Nodding, another young disciple of Wanshengmen spoke up.

　　"Okay, then you send a pigeon message immediately, and I'll keep an eye on him here. Although Mr. Qingliu has lost his power, his family is still very wealthy, and the reward for this mission is quite a lot of money."

　　"Just wait and see."

　　The two Wanshengmen disciples smiled at each other and immediately went their separate ways. One continued to keep a close eye on Zhou Yun, while the other quickly ran to send a carrier pigeon message.

　　This place is only two hundred miles away from Xiqing Town, and a letter sent by carrier pigeon can be delivered in less than an hour.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun in the post station had already written a reply letter to Jun Yao.

　　Chapter 52: Trapped in Pursuit

　　"Manager Hu, please come in." After packing the envelope addressed to Jun Yao, Zhou Yun immediately spoke to the door. Zhou Yun knew that Manager Hu had been waiting there and had never left.

　　In the letter to Jun Yao, Zhou Yun and Jun Yao agreed on a time to meet in the capital, and also asked Jun Yao to pass on his address to Li Yi in Heyang City. The rest was just the love between lovers.

　　"Sir, you are looking for me." As expected, Manager Hu had been waiting outside. When he heard Zhou Yun's call, he immediately walked in.

　　Anyone who can use first-class express is honorable, so Manager Hu naturally dared not neglect it. Especially since the letter came from the capital, and the travel expenses were prepaid, anyone who could afford such a generous gift must be either a noble or a wealthy businessman. No matter which one it was, he couldn't offend him, so he could only serve him well.

　　The most important thing for this trip to Pingliang City has been done. Zhou Yun's expression is also relaxed. He handed over the exquisite box and stood up. "Manager Hu, please help me send this letter back to the original address."

　　"Don't worry, we will make sure everything is done properly." Manager Hu said as he carefully took the exquisite box.

　　"In that case, thank you very much, Manager Hu. I have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first." After finishing the work, Zhou Yun did not stay. After dealing with this matter, Zhou Yun still had two other things to do.

　　"Goodbye, sir." Although the expression on Zhou Yun's face was not as cold as at the beginning, there was still a sense of keeping people at a distance. Manager Hu was good at observing people's words and expressions, so he naturally did not mention seeing Zhou Yun off. He just helped Zhou Yun open the door, greeted him and did not move.

　　Nodding to Manager Hu, Zhou Yun walked straight out of the post station.

　　Opposite the post station was a Saigon Trading Company. After the previous transaction, Zhou Yun had a good impression of Saigon Trading Company. He walked into a small alley, rolled up the body of the sawtooth black panther in the space ring with linen, carried it out of the alley, and went directly into Saigon Trading Company.

　　In the distance, two disciples of Wansheng Sect were staring at Zhou Yun from afar. After seeing Zhou Yun enter the alley, they did not follow him. Having lived in Pingliang City for more than three years, the two were already very familiar with the streets of Pingliang City. The alley that Zhou Yun walked into was a dead end, and he should be out again soon.

　　Sure enough, a moment later, Zhou Yun came out carrying a huge sackcloth bag.

　　Although Zhou Yun's movements and expressions were very natural and other people on the street did not notice him at all, for the two Wanshengmen disciples who had been staring at Zhou Yun, the changes in Zhou Yun were too obvious.

　　"Did you see it? He clearly didn't take anything when he entered the alley, but when he came out he was carrying a large hemp bag and went straight into the Saigon Trading Company. It was obvious that he was going to sell things." With a hint of excitement in his eyes, the Wanshengmen disciple's breathing became a little heavy when he spoke.

　　"I see. It's impossible for Zhou Yun to know anyone in Pingliang City, and he had nothing on him when he arrived. Now he suddenly takes out such a big package. There is only one possibility." Another Wanshengmen disciple also had shining eyes and spoke anxiously.

　　There is no need to explain it so clearly now. Both of them have already determined that what Zhou Yun was carrying was a space ring.

　　"I'll keep watching here. Send the message quickly. Don't send it to Qingliu this time. Send it directly to Feng Shao."

　　"Um!"

　　After nodding vigorously, the Wanshengmen disciple immediately turned and left.

　　An hour later, in Xiqing Town, in the dilapidated courtyard where the Wanshengmen gathering point was located, Chen Feng was sitting in the middle of the underground hall with an angry face.

　　Unlike the high-spirited man at the previous gathering, Chen Feng now had several injuries on his body, his hair was disheveled, and his face was a little pale. It was obvious that he had been frightened.

　　"It's really weird, the recent Black Dragon Mountain Range is completely out of control, with level three ferocious beasts appearing in the dense forest!" Recently, the entire Black Dragon Mountain Range has been caught in an inexplicable restlessness, with a large number of high-level ferocious beasts roaming around irregularly, and even coming to the dense forest under the Black Dragon Mountain Range. This has also brought great casualties to the warrior teams that wanted to enter the Black Dragon Mountain Range to hunt for treasures recently.

　　The Wanshengmen warriors led by Chen Feng were obviously one of the victims. In the dense forest, they encountered an adult level three ferocious beast, the Iron-Armed Giant Ape. In one encounter, three Wanshengmen disciples who were at the peak of skin training were torn to pieces. Chen Feng also got several cuts on his body because he fell while escaping.

　　His cultivation was only at the initial stage of muscle training, so it was naturally impossible for him to fight against a third-level ferocious beast. It was also because of his quick escape that most of their group was able to return safely.

　　"Young Master Feng, the problem with our strength this time is not that we have a problem with our strength. With a core disciple like you, our team is still very strong. It's just that the Black Dragon Mountains have been unstable recently. I think we should just forget about it this time. All the teams in the Black Dragon Mountains are very strong now. We obviously have no money to make, and Zhou Yun is not that easy to find. We should leave this matter to Qingliu." Hearing the resentment in Chen Feng's words, an outer disciple of Wansheng Sect immediately flattered him.

　　Chen Feng's expression improved a little after hearing others' praise. He had just become a core disciple of Wansheng Sect and was thinking about doing two big things to let the elders in the sect see his potential.

　　At the same time, he also wanted to gain experience in the Black Dragon Mountains, demonstrate his cultivation, and thus establish his prestige among the outer disciples.

　　However, the effect of this trip to the Black Dragon Mountains was completely unsatisfactory, and he even suffered some minor injuries.

　　With a heavy snort, Chen Feng stopped talking. He was a smart man and knew how to take advantage of the situation.

　　Silence returned to the hall, and everyone began to carefully treat their wounds. Although the injuries were not serious, warriors must learn to cherish their bodies and not be negligent in the slightest.

　　Just when everyone was concentrating on their work, a person suddenly came into the basement hall.

　　Seeing this man, Chen Feng's eyes flashed with light, "Zhao Huai, you are responsible for receiving information, right? Come here at this time, is there any new news?"

　　Wanshengmen has great influence in several southwestern provinces, and the strongholds in each town are set up very tightly. The places where disciples gather are kept secret, and the places where information is sent and received are designed to be relatively remote. This makes it difficult for government officials to determine the hiding places of Wanshengmen disciples by tracking carrier pigeons.

　　Seeing that it was Chen Feng asking him, Zhao Huai hesitated a bit. Although he received a letter, it was not for Chen Feng.

　　"Mr. Feng, I have a letter here, but it's addressed to Qingliu." After thinking for a moment, Zhao Huai knew that he couldn't defeat Chen Feng, so he could only answer truthfully.

　　Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Feng spoke directly, "Qingliu has disappeared for a long time, and we don't know whether he is dead or alive. Bring me the letter to see it."

　　He knew that Chen Feng would make such a request. Although he knew it was unreasonable, Zhao Huai did not dare to refuse and could only hand over the note in his hand.

　　Sitting there, Chen Feng quickly opened the note, and immediately, the contents on the note made him laugh.

　　"Hahaha, that's great. Our people found Zhou Yun in Pingliang City and have been keeping an eye on him. This time it's time for us to show our skills!" Chen Feng laughed out loud as he tore the note in his hand into pieces.

　　"Everyone, pay attention and get ready immediately. We will set off in ten minutes and head straight for Pingliang!" After the laughter, Chen Feng immediately gave the order.

　　"Okay!" Naturally, the outer disciples of Wanshengmen did not dare to disobey Chen Feng's words.

　　After the response, the Wanshengmen disciples in the underground hall immediately became busy. The wounds had been basically treated, and everyone began to check their weapons, wound medicines and other items they carried with them, preparing to go out again.

　　At this time, the door of the underground hall was pushed open again, and another outer disciple of Wanshengmen walked in.

　　"Young Master Feng, here is a letter for you. It's sent from Pingliang City." As soon as the outer disciple came in, he immediately spoke to Chen Feng.

　　"Oh? Pingliang City? Is there any new change in Zhou Yun's situation?" Hearing the words of the outer disciple, Chen Feng smiled slightly and took over.

　　After opening the note, Chen Feng's breathing immediately became heavier.

　　"Space Ring!" Zhou Yun actually has such a treasure!

　　For a moment, Chen Feng almost wanted to laugh out loud, but he suppressed his joy in his heart. He wanted to enjoy this space ring alone!

　　"Everyone, our destination is Pingliang City. Let's go!" Chen Feng tore the note into pieces, stood up, waved his hand and spoke.

　　"good!"

　　After responding in unison, everyone from Wanshengmen immediately filed out of the underground hall and headed straight for Pingliang.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun in Pingliang City had almost finished dealing with the things at hand. The corpse of the Sawtooth Black Panther brought him 25,000 taels of silver, the most valuable of which was the Yuandan from the third-level ferocious beast.

　　This thing is extremely useful for warriors at the bone and tendon training levels, but the skin of the jagged black panther was not sold for much money because it was chopped into pieces by Zhou Yun.

　　However, these are not what Zhou Yun cares about. He does not have the ability to kill some ferocious beasts with one blow. If he cares too much about the integrity of the fur of these ferocious beasts, he may get hurt. Zhou Yun understands this truth.

　　After exchanging the silver for purple gold coins, Zhou Yun purchased a large amount of dry food and water in Pingliang City before leaving Pingliang City.

　　Zhou Yun was more careful when purchasing this time. He did not buy things like bread, but instead bought a lot of dried meat. The nutritional value of these things is much higher than bread. This time Zhou Yun was determined to practice in seclusion, so he had to pay more attention to nutrition.

　　After making preparations, Zhou Yun retrieved his horse from the post station, left Pingliang City, and returned to the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower!

　　Chapter 53: Conquer

　　Outside Pingliang City, Zhou Yun was riding his horse quickly. He didn't know how many people the Han family had sent to chase him. Although he had some confidence in his current cultivation, Zhou Yun knew that if he could avoid trouble, it would be better not to do so.

　　For Zhou Yun, the most important thing now is to retreat and improve his cultivation, rather than engage in meaningless fights with the nobles in Heyang City.

　　Of course Zhou Yun will slowly deal with the nobles in Heyang City, but not now.

　　Although he has become the first in the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination and has entered the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun does not have the ability to destroy the nobles of Heyang City in one fell swoop. So it is best not to act rashly at this stage, after all, his sister will continue to stay in Heyang City.

　　If we over-stimulate the nobles of Heyang City, we really don’t know what will happen.

　　Zhou Yun did not want to overly provoke the nobles of Heyang City, but this did not mean that he was willing to keep quiet and stay away from the opponents who came to him.

　　He had already made up his mind to try his best to avoid the people who were chasing him from Heyang City, but if he couldn't avoid them, he would use thundering means to tell them that he was not to be trifled with.

　　Boom, boom, boom!

　　Just as Zhou Yun was riding his horse forward, a gray shadow suddenly rushed past him more than ten meters above and flew rapidly towards Xiqing Town.

　　It was a carrier pigeon. When Zhou Yun saw the pigeon, his brows immediately frowned slightly.

　　From the time he left Pingliang City until now, Zhou Yun had always felt that someone was watching him. Although the other party was only following him from about 500 meters away, Zhou Yun already had some sense of it.

　　"Is he someone from the Han family, or someone from Young Master Qingliu?" Zhou Yun thought in his heart as he rode his horse forward calmly.

　　There are two groups of people who want to harm him along the Black Dragon Mountains. One group is Young Master Qingliu. Although he was severely injured that day, Zhou Yun believes that Young Master Qingliu will not give up. The other group is the Han family in Heyang City. The Han family warrior he found that day should be just a spy used to find him. There should be many Han family members who came here.

　　These two groups of people are the ones Zhou Yun knows are trying to harm him. In addition to these two groups of people, Zhou Yun does not rule out the possibility that there will be more people who want to harm him. After all, the nobles he has offended in Heyang City are not just the Han family.

　　The Han family has already found this place, and there is no guarantee that other nobles from Heyang City will not follow.

　　The carrier pigeon that just flew over my head should be the person who discovered my whereabouts in Pingliang City and started to monitor me. It reported my information to the people in Xiqing Town so that the people in Xiqing Town could learn of my movements and kill me halfway.

　　"That's a really good plan." After figuring out the key point, Zhou Yun smiled.

　　Leaving the horse on the spot, Zhou Yun abandoned the horse and dodged directly into the dense forest. With quick movements, he disappeared into the dense forest in just a moment.

　　No matter who was following him, Zhou Yun was confident that he could capture him alive and then find out the information he needed.

　　Hiding in the dense forest, Zhou Yun quickly camouflaged himself and carried some green branches on his back. Zhou Yun found a bush to hide in, held his breath, concentrated his energy and blood, and waited quietly.

　　Sure enough, a moment later, the two Wanshengmen disciples who had been following Zhou Yun from a distance quickly caught up with him.

　　Their mission this time was to follow Zhou Yun closely and report Zhou Yun's information at any time, but they did not want Zhou Yun to escape at the critical moment.

　　"Then why did Zhou Yun suddenly disappear? Did you see him?" A disciple of Wanshengmen asked in confusion when he chased to the place where Zhou Yun had just abandoned his horse.

　　"I didn't see him either. Could Zhou Yun want to enter the jungle from here? Is this where he is hiding?" After looking around and not finding any traces, another Wanshengmen disciple also spoke in surprise.

　　The two searched the surrounding area carefully but still could not find Zhou Yun's whereabouts. Thinking of the message they had sent before, their faces immediately changed.

　　"What should we do? We have already sent Master Feng information about Zhou Yun's movements, but now we have lost him. If Master Feng blames us, both you and I will be in trouble." After thinking clearly about the current situation, one of the Wanshengmen disciples immediately became worried.

　　"Yes, Young Master Feng is a vicious person. If he finds out that we lied, we will be in big trouble. Now we can only send this location to Young Master Feng, and then we will monitor it nearby." With a trace of anxiety on his face, another Wanshengmen disciple hurriedly spoke.

　　"This is the only way." Forcing themselves to suppress their panic, the two Wanshengmen disciples immediately took out paper and pen and began to write the message.

　　Zhou Yun had been hiding nearby, so he naturally heard the conversation between the two clearly. What surprised Zhou Yun was that the one staring at him was not Master Qingliu, and the two servants were not dressed like warriors of the Han family. And who was the 'Master Feng' they were talking about?

　　The cultivation base of these two people is not very high, they are only at the middle stage of skin training. Zhou Yun can definitely capture such people easily, and he may be able to get some information that he does not know from these two people.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately jumped out and rushed towards the two of them.

　　"Who is it!" Feeling a strong wind coming from behind, the two Wanshengmen disciples immediately turned around and shouted.

　　Zhou Yun has been training in the Kung Fu Tower for a long time, and his fighting skills are now far superior to what they were before. The defensive movements of the two middle-level warriors in front of him are full of loopholes in his eyes.

　　It is far from the feeling of the war puppet's body being one with the whole body and without any flaws.

　　With disdain in his heart, Zhou Yun didn't even draw his sword. He just used the scabbarded Tianyan steel sword to quickly swing out two attacks.

　　GABA, GABA!

　　Two crisp sounds of bones breaking were heard, and before the two servants could see clearly, Zhou Yun's knife had already broken the right arm of one of the servants, and the left leg of the other servant was also broken by Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun's Tianyan steel knife weighs fifty kilograms. Even if the knife is not unsheathed, its own weight alone is enough to be used as a stick to deal with these two servants who only have leather training skills.

　　"Ah!! Zhou Yun, you are actually here!" The two servants fell to the ground screaming after their bones were broken. Then, they saw Zhou Yun standing in front of them with a cold face.

　　Faced with these two ant-like people, Zhou Yun naturally had no interest in getting entangled with them. Holding the sword in his arms, Zhou Yun slowly asked, "Tell me, who are you from? Why are you targeting me? Who did you send the letter to? What did you agree on?"

　　Zhou Yun's rapid-fire questioning immediately made the two men look panicked.

　　After a slight hesitation, one of the servants said sternly, "We won't say anything. If you have the guts, kill us."

　　As soon as the servant finished speaking, Zhou Yun's face immediately turned cold. The sword in his hand still did not come out, but he swung it repeatedly. The fifty-jin Tianyan steel sword was like a heavy iron club, hitting the servant again and again.

　　GABA, GABA!

　　The sound of bones breaking continued to be heard, and the bones in the boy's hands, feet and body were actually broken directly by Zhou Yun!

　　At first the boy was rolling on the ground and howling, but later on, he couldn't even make a sound.

　　Zhou Yun hated this kind of people the most. When he came to Pingliang City, Zhou Yun did not provoke anyone, but he was inexplicably targeted. And this servant pretended to be very strong in front of him, but he didn't expect that they were not reasonable at all.

　　Since you have backbone, I will break all your bones and see how long you can be tough!

　　This is what Zhou Yun thought and did.

　　After a moment, the boy no longer had a single intact bone in his body. His face was swollen and he was foaming at the mouth. It was obvious that he was dying.

　　Such a tragic scene directly frightened the other servant silly. Seeing Zhou Yun withdraw his hand and shifting his gaze to him, the servant immediately knelt down.

　　"Master, I'll tell you everything!" The servant kowtowed repeatedly and gave up resisting.

　　Seeing the servant surrender, Zhou Yun also put away the sword in his hand, "Tell me, who are you from? Why are you staring at me? What do you want to do?"

　　Completely overwhelmed by Zhou Yun's aura, the servant no longer dared to hide anything. "To answer your question, sir, we are outer disciples of Wansheng Sect. Young Master Qingliu has issued a mission within the sect, asking us to track down your whereabouts so that we can retrieve the lost Qidongbu secret manual..."

　　The servant had already been frightened by Zhou Yun's series of actions, so he explained everything that had happened before and after in a very confident manner.

　　Zhou Yun stood there quietly listening to the boy's report without making any movement, and understood the whole story.

　　After talking for about a cup of tea, the servant finally explained the whole story.

　　After thinking silently for a moment, Zhou Yun immediately asked, "What's the name of the Feng Shao you mentioned? What's his cultivation level? What's the cultivation level of the others?"

　　"To answer your question, Young Master Feng's real name is Chen Feng, and he has reached the initial stage of tendon training. The others are all outer disciples of Wansheng Sect, and their levels of cultivation range from skin training to bone training." Since he has become a traitor, he might as well rebel thoroughly. Perhaps he will still have a chance to survive.

　　After hearing what the servant said, Zhou Yun thought silently in his heart. This time, it was because of the trouble caused by the space ring. It seems that the southwestern provinces are indeed not very peaceful. And now Zhou Yun can't leave, so he can only be careful in the future.

　　However, since Chen Feng is so anxious to come and die, and also wants to use him as a prey to win credit in the sect, he must be given a big gift.

　　Having made up his mind, Zhou Yun immediately turned his gaze to the servant kneeling on the ground.

　　Another servant had all his bones broken by Zhou Yun. After enduring a lot of pain, he had already died a long time ago. When he saw Zhou Yun turning his gaze towards him, the servant immediately retreated in fear.

　　"Master, I have already told you everything. Please let me go!" The servant retreated while bowing and begging for mercy in panic.

　　Originally, Zhou Yun wanted to kill the boy and be done with it, but on second thought, he thought that maybe if he didn't kill the boy, he could be of great use if he kept him.

　　"I don't have to kill you, but I need you to do something for me." Putting the Tianyan steel knife back to his waist, Zhou Yun smiled at the boy.

　　"Master, you tell me, as long as you don't kill me, I can do anything!" Seeing the turning point, the servant immediately kowtowed repeatedly to express his loyalty.

　　Chapter 54: Designed Hunting

　　"Send a letter to Chen Feng and tell him that I have reached this location and am resting there. Then you can go back directly." Zhou Yun carried a map of the Black Dragon Mountains with him. Although the map was not complete, with only the section from Nanyun City to Pingliang City, it was enough.

　　The place Zhou Yun marked was a place called Ghost Tree Bend. Since the trees there were much denser than those in other places in the Black Dragon Mountains and it was extremely difficult to walk, a dangerous sign was specially marked on the map to remind adventurous warriors who wanted to enter the Black Dragon Mountains not to enter easily.

　　Zhou Yun also had some understanding of that area. In fact, the roads there were difficult to travel and there were many poisonous snakes. But now Zhou Yun was not afraid of any poisonous creatures at all. Fighting in that area was like fighting at home.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the servant immediately showed an expression of disbelief on his face.

　　"Master, are you telling the truth? I sent the letter and you let me go?"

　　"Of course, but I will need you to do something else for me in the future." Turning his eyes, Zhou Yun spoke to the servant with a smile on his face.

　　"What's the matter?" Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Yun's words, the servant immediately asked. Now he just wanted to survive.

　　"Stay in Wanshengmen and help me find out the information about Wanshengmen targeting me. At the same time, if there are any special changes in the southwestern provinces, please inform me in time. I hope you don't cheat, otherwise, I will make you live a life worse than death." After assigning the task to the servant, Zhou Yun's face turned cold and he made a gloomy threat.

　　I believe that after seeing his methods, the boy no longer dares to resist casually. The management of the outer disciples of Wanshengmen is actually quite loose. It is not easy to be noticed if you place your own spies here, but it can play some unexpected roles.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the servant felt relieved. Wanting him to be a spy meant that Zhou Yun would not kill him.

　　Bowing repeatedly to Zhou Yun, the servant hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely do the job you asked me to do, even if it means going through fire and water."

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun said, "I won't let you work for nothing. If you work hard, I will help you find a good future."

　　"Thank you, sir." The servant was delighted and thanked him again.

　　In his opinion, Zhou Yun was so young, but his methods were so cruel and meticulous. Such a person's future was definitely not comparable to Chen Feng and his like. He had no future in Wanshengmen, but now he followed Zhou Yun. As long as he worked hard, he might really get countless benefits in the future.

　　"Okay, hurry up and send the books over there." Zhou Yun waved his hand casually and stopped the servant from expressing his loyalty.

　　"Yes." Seeing that Zhou Yun didn't like people who talked too much, the servant tactfully shut his mouth and began to quickly send the latest information to Chen Feng according to the location Zhou Yun said.

　　"Sir, Chen Feng and his men have been out for quite some time. It may only take half an hour for them to reach Guishuwan. You should make preparations early." After writing the letter and releasing the carrier pigeon, the servant spoke to Zhou Yun.

　　After hearing what the servant said, Zhou Yun nodded silently. This servant was a smart man with a clear mind. After joining him, he had already started to think for himself. Maybe he would really be a good helper in the future.

　　"Got it. You can go back now. By the way, what's your name?" Zhou Yun asked the boy.

　　"Sir, my last name is Zhang Hao, you can just call me Little Mouse." Zhang Hao replied with a respectful nod.

　　"Okay, I've got it. You can go back now." Nodding, Zhou Yun waved his hand to signal Zhang Hao to leave.

　　Zhang Hao saluted Zhou Yun again, covered his arm that was broken by Zhou Yun, and staggered towards Pingliang City.

　　Zhang Hao had just released the carrier pigeons on his body. Zhou Yun observed that there were no other carrier pigeons on Zhang Hao's body. And looking at Zhang Hao's expression, it didn't seem like he was pretending to surrender.

　　But even so, Zhou Yun had to be careful and on guard.

　　"When we enter the Ghost Tree Bend later, we need to set up some traps and then find a place to hide. If Chen Feng and others rush into the Ghost Tree Bend without any preparation, it means that Zhang Hao is truly surrendering. If Chen Feng and others are prepared, that's fine too, and I can naturally retreat calmly." Watching Zhang Hao's figure gradually disappear, Zhou Yun thought silently in his heart, then turned and left.

　　The place where Zhou Yun was now was not far from the Ghost Tree Bend. Holding his breath and concentrating, Zhou Yun moved forward quickly. After about an incense stick of time, Zhou Yun had arrived at the outskirts of the Ghost Tree Bend.

　　Looking at the dense thorns in front of him, Zhou Yun showed a cruel smile on his face.

　　This place is the burial place of those Wanshengmen scum!

　　Although Guishuwan is extremely difficult to navigate and there is almost no place to stand, such an environment is not worth mentioning to Zhou Yun.

　　After a few flashes, Zhou Yun had entered the central area of ​​Ghost Tree Bend directly from above.

　　Standing on a relatively tall tree, Zhou Yun carefully examined the surrounding environment and had a plan in mind.

　　Taking out the dagger from the space ring, Zhou Yun cut off some tree branches, sharpened them, and set up dense traps in the ghost tree bend. At the same time, he memorized several paths suitable for attack and evacuation.

　　After completing all this, Zhou Yun took out another set of clothes, propped it up with tree branches, posed in the shape of a person, and placed it in the dense forest center of Guishu Bend.

　　After doing all this, Zhou Yun nodded with satisfaction, then found a secret hiding place, and waited quietly for the arrival of Chen Feng and others.

　　At this time, outside the Black Dragon Mountains, Chen Feng and a group of Wanshengmen's outer disciples had already advanced to a place less than thirty miles away from Guishuwan.

　　Boom, boom, boom!

　　A carrier pigeon flew over, and Chen Feng raised his hand to catch the pigeon and randomly took off the note on it.

　　After unfolding the note and reading it, a smile immediately appeared on Chen Feng's face.

　　"Everyone, Zhou Yun is resting in the Ghost Tree Bend ahead. Let's go over there immediately and kill him in the Ghost Tree Bend. If we can accomplish this, everyone will have done a great deed!" After putting the note away, Chen Feng immediately called out to the many Wanshengmen disciples around him.

　　"Okay!" Hearing Chen Feng's words, everyone immediately responded excitedly. Then, under Chen Feng's leadership, they quickly moved towards the Ghost Tree Bend. At this time, they still didn't know that a huge pocket had been laid in the Ghost Tree Bend, waiting for them to jump in.

　　After galloping along the dense forest outside the Black Dragon Mountains for an incense stick of time, Chen Feng finally brought everyone from Wanshengmen to the outskirts of Guishuwan.

　　"It should be just ahead. Everyone tie up your horses and move forward in different directions. Be careful not to alert the enemy and report immediately when you find Zhou Yun." Looking at the thorny ghost tree bend in the distance, Chen Feng drew the long sword from his waist and gave the order.

　　This time, the crowd did not respond with roars, but quietly dismounted, took out their weapons, and approached the ghost tree bend little by little.

　　The dense forest of Ghost Tree Bend was very difficult to walk through. It took the group more than ten minutes of walking before they all entered Ghost Tree Bend.

　　At this time, under a tree four or five hundred meters away, a vague human figure has entered everyone's sight.

　　"Young Master Feng, look, there seems to be someone sitting there!" After entering the central area of ​​Guishuwan, a Wanshengmen disciple immediately saw the figure in the distance. With a burst of surprise in his heart, the Wanshengmen disciple immediately reported to Chen Feng.

　　Among the group of people, Chen Feng had the highest cultivation level. As soon as the outer disciple reported, Chen Feng immediately followed the direction pointed by his finger and found the figure sitting quietly.

　　When he saw that figure, Chen Feng's heart was suddenly filled with joy.

　　"That's Zhou Yun. Tell everyone to disperse and surround, then slowly move forward. No one should make any sound. Even if you are injured by the beast's sneak attack, don't reveal yourself in advance. Whoever holds us back, I will make him regret coming into this world." Chen Feng said viciously with a fierce light in his eyes.

　　"Understood." Not daring to disobey Chen Feng's order, the outer disciple of Wanshengmen immediately nodded in agreement and then passed on Chen Feng's order.

　　Chen Feng imagined the benefits of obtaining the space ring in his mind. He tried hard to suppress his throbbing greed and moved closer step by step with the sword in hand.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun was still quietly waiting for an opportunity at the ambush site he had chosen. There were more than 20 people from Wanshengmen this time. Zhou Yun had made full preparations and was sure that none of them could escape.

　　Soon, a disciple of Wanshengmen passed by Zhou Yun, caught off guard, and stepped into the trap set by Zhou Yun.

　　Suddenly, two sharpened pieces of paper popped out quickly and stabbed into the chest of the Wanshengmen disciple!

　　Woo…

　　Caught off guard, the Wansheng Sect disciple was stabbed all over. He struggled for a few times and then stopped moving.

　　Looking at the Wansheng Sect disciple who fell ten meters in front of him, Zhou Yun felt relieved. Zhang Hao really did not betray him. Zhou Yun was certain from the actions of these Wansheng Sect disciples that these people were obviously defenseless.

　　"In that case, I won't be polite." Zhou Yun slowly pulled out the steel knife from his waist, grinned, and quietly walked out of his hiding place.

　　Zhou Yun was already familiar with the terrain here, and he quickly got behind a disciple of Wansheng Sect.

　　The Wansheng Sect disciple only had the peak level of skin training, which was far from Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun had already touched behind him, but the Wansheng Sect disciple was still unaware.

　　Zhou Yun suddenly rushed forward and stabbed out with the Tianyan steel knife in his hand!

　　puff!

　　Blood burst out, and the Tianyan steel knife directly pierced the heart of the Wanshengmen disciple. Before he could even scream, the Wanshengmen disciple fell limply to the ground, losing his life.

　　Reaching out to hold the body of the Wanshengmen disciple and gently putting him down, Zhou Yun immediately began to look for his next target.

　　Chapter 55: Harvest

　　The thorns of the Ghost Tree Bend were naturally not a big obstacle for Chen Feng, but for those outer disciples of Wanshengmen, such obstacles were a headache, especially since they would constantly step into the traps set by Zhou Yun without any preparation.

　　They had advanced three hundred meters, but the figure sitting under the big tree in the distance still didn't move.

　　Such a strange situation has made Chen Feng a little nervous. At this time, Chen Feng has already suspected that the figure in the distance is not a real person.

　　He himself has the initial stage of tendon training. As long as he uses his heart to sense, he will be able to detect anyone who enters the 300-meter range around him. According to the information he has received, although Zhou Yun's cultivation is far inferior to his own, it is not to the point that he has not felt anything until now, right?

　　"Li Ming, tell everyone to gather their formation and don't get separated. Be careful of Zhou Yun's sneak attack!" Chen Feng was able to stand out from the many outer disciples, so he is naturally not an idiot. After realizing that something was wrong, Chen Feng immediately spoke to the person behind him.

　　But his arrangements did not receive a response, and Li Ming, who had been following him, was now nowhere to be found.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun was hiding thirty meters away from Chen Feng. He slowly retracted the Tianyan steel knife in his hand and quietly placed a limp corpse on the ground. This corpse was Li Ming, whom Chen Feng had just been looking for.

　　Half squatting in the thorns, Zhou Yun looked at Chen Feng in the distance with a sneer on his lips.

　　"Everyone has already died, and now you're just thinking of gathering your troops."

　　Just now, Zhou Yun had silently killed all the outer disciples of Wansheng Sect by relying on the traps he had set up and some sneak attack channels. Originally, Zhou Yun had never thought that things would go so smoothly, but Chen Feng's order for everyone to disperse and surround the enemy helped Zhou Yun a lot. In addition, Chen Feng ordered that all the injured people were not allowed to shout for help loudly to avoid alerting the enemy, which made Zhou Yun feel like a fish in water.

　　No matter how small this Ghost Tree Bend is, it is still an area of ​​500 meters in radius. There are about 20 people scattered here, and the distance between them is very large. In such an environment, Zhou Yun can easily sneak attack anyone.

　　After training in the Power Transmission Tower, Zhou Yun's combat skills are now far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if someone has the same or even higher cultivation level as him, Zhou Yun is confident of defeating him. Not to mention that most of the outer disciples of Wansheng Sect are people with skin training. Even if there are two bone training warriors occasionally, they are only in the initial stage of bone training and naturally pose no threat to Zhou Yun.

　　The more than 20 outer disciples of Wanshengmen who came with Chen Feng have all been killed silently by Zhou Yun. Now, only Chen Feng needs to be dealt with by Zhou Yun.

　　Although he was confident of defeating Chen Feng, Zhou Yun was still not careless. Holding the sword tightly in his hand, Zhou Yun approached carefully step by step.

　　In any case, Chen Feng is a martial artist who has reached the initial stage of muscle training, and his cultivation level is much higher than his. If Zhou Yun can kill the opponent at the lowest cost, he will naturally not refuse.

　　Holding his breath and concentrating, Zhou Yun restrained his aura and followed Chen Feng silently.

　　Zhou Yun had set a trap not far ahead of Chen Feng's route. As long as Chen Feng stepped on it, even if he was only slightly affected, the battle would be over.

　　After calling Li Ming but getting no response, Chen Feng also felt that something was wrong. Li Ming had been following him all along, how could he suddenly disappear?

　　The only explanation is that someone launched a sneak attack here!

　　In an instant, Chen Feng's heart immediately became alert, he stopped and did not move forward. While being alert to the surrounding situation, Chen Feng put two fingers into his mouth and whistled fiercely.

　　squeak!!

　　The whistle is very loud, but the tone is similar to the call of a bird, extremely sharp, and can easily travel four or five hundred meters.

　　This is exactly the secret code used by Wanshengmen. After receiving such a secret code, all the disciples of Wanshengmen nearby should respond. Until now, Chen Feng did not dare to play the silent siege anymore.

　　When the whistle stopped, the surroundings were still quiet and empty, as if he was the only one in this thorny ghost tree bend.

　　In an instant, Chen Feng's face turned pale. He had already guessed that the outer disciples of Wanshengmen who came with him might have met with an accident!

　　Although he himself did not believe that Zhou Yun could do such a difficult task, Chen Feng still made a judgment in an instant and retreated immediately!

　　There is nothing wrong with such an idea, but in Zhou Yun's opinion, Chen Feng's reaction was still too slow, and it was too late to retreat now.

　　Chen Feng just turned around and immediately saw a terrifying cold light coming towards him. A sharp sword energy also rose up, making Chen Feng feel numb from his scalp to the soles of his feet.

　　It was only at this time that Chen Feng realized that Zhou Yun had already anticipated that someone would come to ambush him and had set up many traps. When Chen Feng saw the sudden chop of the knife, he knew that the outer disciples he brought with him were probably all dead.

　　ha!!

　　At the critical moment, Chen Feng also burst out with courage. With a loud shout, Chen Feng raised the sword in his hand vigorously, trying to block the powerful knife in front of him.

　　clang!

　　A huge collision sound was heard, and Chen Feng only felt an irresistible force enveloping him. The knuckles of his palms were broken instantly, and the long sword in Chen Feng's hand was broken into two pieces. This was the result of his special efforts to resist. If he just used the long sword to resist, I'm afraid not only the long sword would be cut off, I'm afraid he himself would be cut in two by Zhou Yun's knife.

　　For a moment, a trace of fear arose in Chen Feng's heart. Could it be that the information he had heard about Zhou Yun's cultivation was all false?

　　According to Master Qingliu, Zhou Yun was at most at the initial stage of bone training. The last time Master Qingliu fell into Zhou Yun's hands, it was entirely because he underestimated his enemy. But the previous blow was obviously not like that. The heavy force that seemed like a mountain pressing down on his head almost crushed him.

　　That kind of strength is definitely not something a warrior who is at the initial stage of bone training can possess. The cultivation level of the man in front of him is probably at the middle stage of tendon training!

　　After a successful strike, Zhou Yun immediately used the momentum brought by flying into the air to kick out with his right foot, hitting Chen Feng right in the chest.

　　bump!

　　After being hit hard suddenly, Chen Feng immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated five steps under this huge force.

　　After taking the last step back, Chen Feng immediately felt his feet go empty. Caught off guard, he fell straight down.

　　Phew!

　　After stepping on empty air, Chen Feng had already anticipated that there would be a trap below. Although he tried his best to avoid it, Chen Feng was still pierced directly from the back by a sharpened branch. A sharp pain came over him, and suddenly, a bloody spike burst out from his chest.

　　Only at this time did Chen Feng see clearly the person in front of him.

　　He was a young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He had a calm face and although he was thin, he had an indescribable strength.

　　This young man was none other than Zhou Yun, whom he had always wanted to find in the portrait.

　　"What is your cultivation level?" Having been pinned to the ground by the branch, Chen Feng could not even move. The sharp branch had pierced his heart, and Chen Feng could even feel the life draining from his body quickly.

　　Looking at Chen Feng lying on the ground in front of him, Zhou Yun's expression was calm, but there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.

　　Without answering Chen Feng's question, Zhou Yun slowly raised the Tianyan steel knife in his hand. Zhou Yun was too lazy to say a word to someone like Chen Feng.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's actions, Chen Feng's eyes immediately became crazy, "Zhou Yun! I am a core disciple of Wansheng Sect. If you dare to kill me, you will definitely be hunted down by Wansheng Sect!"

　　Without taking Chen Feng's threat seriously, Zhou Yun swung the Tianyan steel knife in his hand violently, and instantly, a three-inch deep wound was opened on Chen Feng's neck. Blood spurted out, and Chen Feng's pupils immediately dilated.

　　Before he died, Chen Feng still retained an expression of extreme shock.

　　"The strong prey on the weak. You are obsessed with coveting other people's treasures and want to murder them. You should know what will happen to you." Looking at Chen Feng's body at his feet, Zhou Yun said with disdain.

　　Putting away the Tianyan steel knife in his hand, Zhou Yun squatted down and began to search Chen Feng's body.

　　This time, Zhou Yun did not find any secret book, but instead found a silver note of 50,000 Tianyuan Silver Bank.

　　"This guy is quite rich. He carries so many silver bills with him." Looking at the stack of silver bills in his hand, Zhou Yun finally showed a smile on his face.

　　Apart from the training for a month, Zhou Yun had only done two deals, hunting a group of sharp-clawed wolf beasts and a sawtooth black panther, and the money he got was only more than 30,000 taels. However, Chen Feng alone brought Zhou Yun 50,000 taels of silver, which made Zhou Yun get an extra reward from this hunting.

　　"Let's take a look. Maybe other Wanshengmen disciples will have some money on them." The purpose of making money was not achieved at all during this trip. Thinking about the expenses he might face after joining the army, Zhou Yun now attaches great importance to money.

　　Zhou Yun immediately became interested after finding so many silver bills on Chen Feng. He then went to the bodies of the outer disciples of Wansheng Sect who he had just killed, and searched them one by one. He unexpectedly found more than 30,000 taels of silver from more than 20 people!

　　"These Wansheng Sect disciples usually bully the locals and do all kinds of evil, but they have saved up a lot of money. This money can be considered as your donation to the Tianyuan Dynasty army." After putting all the collected banknotes into the space ring, Zhou Yun did not stay there. He went straight out of the Ghost Tree Bend and headed straight for the mysterious pool outside Xiqing Town where the Power Transmission Tower was hidden.

　　Zhou Yun had already killed all the people who wanted to hunt him down near Xiqing Town. At this time, in the distant Heyang City, Han Long, who was sitting in the main seat in the Han family's hall, had a face full of resentment.

　　Just a few minutes ago, he received the latest news from Xiqing Town that his younger brother Han Hu and all the warriors of the Han family were dead!

　　————————————————————

　　I would like to thank all the readers for their support in the past week. Shengkong will always remember it and feel grateful. Due to my wife giving birth, Shengkong's updates have been unstable during this period. I feel ashamed of everyone, but Shengkong promises to work hard to repay everyone's support.

　　In the new week, let’s continue to rush to the top of the list and work hard together.

　　Please give me flowers and collection, thank you everyone!

　　Chapter 56: Noble Gathering

　　Holding the letter in his hand, Han Long's body couldn't help but tremble slightly. This operation to capture Zhou Yun almost cost the Han family most of their combat effectiveness. Not only did the Han family's think tank Han Hu die, but only one of the other seven warriors sent was killed. Such a loss was fatal to the Han family.

　　You know, in the Tianyuan Dynasty where the military has an extremely high status, it is very difficult for a noble family to raise warriors with high cultivation. A warrior who has reached the peak of bone training can easily become a sergeant after training in the army. Moreover, if he has made great achievements, he may even become a centurion or even a commander.

　　Once a warrior becomes an officer, as long as he does not die in battle, he can live a worry-free life and have a very high status. Under such circumstances, if a noble family wants to prevent a warrior from joining the army and keep him in the mansion, the price to pay is extremely high.

　　Seven warriors at the middle and peak bone training stages, this is almost all the strength of the Han family. The losses in this battle have already caused great damage to the once glorious Han family.

　　In addition to the death of Han Hu and the dethronement of Han Qian, the Han family has not made any industrial contributions. The next time the family is rated, the Han family’s title of a prominent family may be lost.

　　The most infuriating thing is that after spending such a huge price, the team of warriors sent by the Han family didn’t even find the shadow of Zhou Yun!

　　Gritting his teeth, Han Long's eyes fell on the letter paper again.

　　"Before he died, the Second Master specifically told me that Zhou Yun's cultivation is improving very quickly. He may have already reached the initial stage of tendon training! Moreover, Zhou Yun is so elusive in the Black Dragon Mountains that we have no chance of catching him on our own. The Second Master suggested that the head of the family unite with all the nobles in Heyang City to kill Zhou Yun together."

　　"Second Master also said that this matter must be taken seriously. The behavior of the Heyang nobleman in the martial arts exam has planted hatred in Zhou Yun's heart. This person is ruthless and ruthless, and his work is meticulous and difficult to deal with. His cultivation level improves very quickly. Therefore, we must not let him go. If he is allowed to grow up, it will definitely be a disaster for our Han family!"

　　In this letter, Xiao Si, the only surviving warrior among the warriors sent by the Han family this time, wrote down Han Hu's last words before his death almost verbatim.

　　After reading the words on the letter over and over again, Han Long's eyes focused and he finally made up his mind.

　　"Come here, send visiting cards to the Wang family, the Xu family, the Chen family, and then send another visiting card to the second young master Zhao who lives in the Qin Mansion. Tell them that I, Han, will host a banquet for each family in the Shanhe Hall of the Huibin Building and announce the latest news about Zhou Yun. Please be sure to send important people." After putting away the letter, Han Long took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

　　"Yes!" After receiving Han Long's order, a servant immediately saluted and quickly retreated.

　　The order had been issued. Han Long silently put away the letter in his hand and sighed deeply.

　　"Dad, how is it, have you found Zhou Yun?" At this time, a voice with a little expectation suddenly came out, and a pale and unhealthy young man walked out from the back hall and asked Han Long.

　　At this moment, Han Qian was having his heart broken by a punch from Zhou Yun during the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination!

　　Bang!

　　Han Long was originally sitting there, but when he heard Han Qian's question, he immediately stood up and knocked Han Qian to the ground with a slap!

　　After being seriously injured by Zhou Yun, Han Qian had been sickly ever since. He could not withstand the angry blow from Han Long, who had already reached the middle stage of muscle training. He was immediately knocked away!

　　"Dad!" Han Qian screamed in surprise after being slapped away by his father.

　　At this time, Han Long had already stood up from his chair and said angrily, "You evildoer, you just listened to the instigation of that bastard from the Wang family and went to deal with Zhou Yun. Now your second uncle is dead, and only Xiao Si survived among the warriors we sent. Just wait and see our Han family's demise!"

　　After leaving a word, Han Long simply flicked his sleeves and left the hall of the Han family.

　　Han Qian, who was knocked to the ground, was still shocked. His second uncle was dead? All the warriors sent by the Han family were dead?

　　But Zhou Yun only had the initial stage of bone training, how did he achieve all this?

　　In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Han Qian's mind, including shock, anger, regret, and fear.

　　Han Qian knew that after suffering such a heavy blow, the Han family's status as a prominent family might not be preserved in the next family assessment. Based on the Han family's past behavior, once it lost power, it would certainly be cruelly retaliated by its enemies, and he was now a useless person. When Han Qian thought of this, he couldn't help but tremble, and a feeling of fear rose up.

　　At this moment, Han Long had already walked out of the Han family mansion. He was shocked and angry just now, so he chose to slap Han Qian. Although he had a little resentment in his heart, blaming Han Qian for provoking Zhou Yun, but then he thought that even for him, facing both the Wang family and Zhou Yun in a scene like the martial arts examination, he would choose to help the Wang family instead of Zhou Yun.

　　The reason why they chased Zhou Yun later was entirely because they were attracted by the precious treasure like the space ring.

　　"After all, it's all because of Zhou Yun." Suddenly, an expression of hatred appeared on Han Long's face again. In his opinion, all this was caused by Zhou Yun, and this account must be settled with Zhou Yun.

　　With a rage, Han Long went straight to the reception building. Although the agreed time was in the evening, Han Long couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go there now.

　　In Heyang City, night fell and the sky gradually darkened. The number of pedestrians on the main street gradually decreased, and many vendors had already closed their stalls and returned home.

　　At this time, luxurious carriages drove out from the mansions of the major nobles in Heyang City one after another, and gradually gathered in front of the Huibin Building.

　　The carriage opened its door, and people in luxurious clothes walked out one after another and entered the Huibin Building one after another. Their target was the Shanhe Hall on the top floor of the Huibin Building.

　　In the Shanhe Hall, Han Long, who had already arrived, was standing there, welcoming the heads of the noble families in Heyang City.

　　"Brother Chen, Brother Xu, you are here, please come in!" Standing in front of the hall, Han Long looked at the heads of the Chen and Xu families walking side by side, and immediately took two steps forward, clasping his fists and speaking.

　　"Brother Han, you are too polite. It is a sin to trouble you to wait here in person." Chen Yongheng, the head of the Chen family, is also a very versatile person. When he saw Han Long, he immediately greeted him with a fist. Xu Ke, the head of the Xu family, also made polite remarks.

　　The three of them greeted each other, but did not go directly into the hall. Instead, they continued to wait at the door.

　　Because the head of the Wang family, the second most prominent family in Heyang City, has not arrived yet, they have to wait here.

　　The hierarchy of the Tianyuan Dynasty was extremely strict. The status of the dignitaries was not as high as that of the prominent families, and the prominent families were not as high as that of the aristocratic families. At such banquets, the dignitaries' families would usually arrive first, and then wait for the people from the prominent families to arrive.

　　Sure enough, after waiting for a cup of tea at the end of the month, Wang Hai, the head of the Wang family, finally arrived.

　　Wearing a blue brocade robe with a mighty wolf head embroidered on his chest, the head of the Wang family looked very imposing. When they saw Wang Hai, the expressions on Han, Chen, and Xu's faces immediately became serious.

　　In Heyang City, if we talk about cultivation, the old patriarch of the Qin family is undoubtedly the most advanced, and under old man Qin, Wang Hai is the most powerful. It is said that Wang Hai had reached the peak of muscle training ten years ago, and at this time he has probably entered the realm of innate martial artist who trains organs and exchanges blood.

　　Han Long naturally wanted the space ring, but he also knew the strength of his family. Notifying the Wang family of this matter meant that Han Long had given up the idea of ​​competing for the treasure. Now he only wanted revenge.

　　"Brother Wang, please." Seeing Wang Hai, Han, Chen, and Xu also hurriedly saluted.

　　Nodding to the heads of the three families in front of him, Wang Hai did not go in directly, but stood with them in front of the hall. For today's gathering, there was a person with a higher status who had not yet arrived.

　　Standing in front of the hall, the four family heads were still chatting casually.

　　"Brother Han, I see that you don't look very well. Has anything gone wrong recently?" Looking at Han Long with a smile, Xu Ke, the head of the Xu family, asked with pretended concern.

　　Shaking his head, Han Long responded somewhat reluctantly, "Of course there are things that are not going well. When Mr. Zhao comes, I will tell you about it. And I'm afraid this is not just my family's business."

　　After hearing Han Long's response, Chen Yongheng also spoke up, "Brother Han asked us to come here today because of Zhou Yun's matter. As everyone knows, the Han family's underground information channels have always been the most well-informed. I'm afraid they have already found Zhou Yun and got what they wanted. They asked us to come here again at this time. Could it be that they want to share the benefits with us?"

　　This is also known to several noble families in Heyang City who want to find clues about Zhou Yun. Since the Han family came from a bandit family, they have a strong information network in the Black Alliance. They have now confirmed that Zhou Yun is not in Heyang, but if they want to find Zhou Yun in the vast territory of the Tianyuan Dynasty, it seems that only the Han family has such power.

　　Speaking of Zhou Yun, even Wang Hai couldn't help but look at Han Long.

　　With a look of embarrassment on his face, Han Long didn't know how to explain this matter, especially since an important guest had not arrived yet, he couldn't tell him about it in advance.

　　"Haha, the family heads have arrived so early. I am really ashamed for being late." Just when Han Long was embarrassed, a somewhat ostentatious voice came over.

　　Following the voice, a young man walked up from the stairs. He was wearing a red brocade robe embroidered with a ferocious cheetah pattern, which represented his noble family status. The expression on his face was also extremely arrogant.

　　Even among all the noble family heads, his status is definitely the highest, simply because he is a descendant of a noble family, and his title is higher than everyone present!

　　"I am honored to have the second young master Zhao here!" This person was Zhao Guang, who had two conflicts with Zhou Yun in the Qin family. Seeing Zhao Guang coming, Han Long and others immediately went to greet him.

　　Chapter 57: Conspiracy

　　Zhao Guang's arrival naturally attracted a lot of attention from the crowd. The Zhao family was very powerful in Tianhe Province, not only because it was a big family, but also because of the influence of the Zhao family and the Qin family in the military of the Tianyuan Dynasty. With the development speed of the Zhao family, he would be granted the title of earl or even marquis in no time, so it would be very beneficial to establish this relationship as soon as possible.

　　After some courtesy, everyone finally entered the Shanhe Hall. After they sat down according to their family rank, Xu Ke asked Han Long again. "Brother Han, I asked you what you wanted to do with us just now, but you hesitated to tell me. Now that Mr. Zhao is here, you should finally tell me, right?"

　　After Xu Ke asked this question, everyone's attention immediately turned to Han Long. In fact, these people present did not have much intersection. The only reason they were able to gather here this time was because the words "Zhou Yun" appeared on Han Long's visiting card.

　　Including Zhao Guang, after the battle in the Qin family's backyard, he had already regarded Zhou Yun as a thorn in his side. Born into a great family with unlimited potential and living in the capital of Tianhe Province, Zhao Guang looked down on the nobles in Heyang. If he hadn't been looking for Zhou Yun's whereabouts, he would never have stayed in Heyang City for so long, let alone come to Huibinlou for a banquet.

　　Feeling everyone's gazes, Han Long's face revealed a hint of embarrassment. Although he had decided to rely on the strength of the nobles in Heyang City to deal with Zhou Yun, when the time came, Han Long still felt ashamed.

　　A prominent family with deep roots in the Black Alliance, which not many people in Heyang City are willing to mess with, actually suffered such a big setback in the pursuit of Zhou Yun. If this gets out, the Han family will probably become a laughing stock in the future.

　　"Master Han, please tell me. You called us here today not just for entertainment, right?" Seeing that Han Long didn't say anything for a long time, Zhao Guang immediately became impatient.

　　Seeing a hint of displeasure on Zhao Guang's face, Han Long finally stopped hesitating. "It's really embarrassing to talk about this. Ten days ago, we got news from the Black Alliance that Zhou Yun was active near the Black Dragon Mountains. Because my son was seriously injured by Zhou Yun in the martial arts exam, we sent most of the family's forces to hunt down Zhou Yun. But we didn't expect that a warrior at the beginning of tendon training, plus seven or eight warriors at the peak and middle stages of bone training, all died without even finding Zhou Yun's shadow."

　　Han Long almost gritted his teeth as he spoke these words. As he spoke, he also took out the carrier pigeon letter that Xiao Si had given him and handed it to Zhao Guang and others to read.

　　Han Long's words were already very shocking, but when everyone read the text written on the letter, they all showed an even more unbelievable expression on their faces.

　　Putting down the note, Wang Hai still had a look of shock on his face. He asked cautiously, "Brother Han, you are kidding, right? This letter says that Zhou Yun's cultivation has reached the initial stage of bone training. Isn't this a fantasy? When Zhou Yun participated in the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination, he was only at the initial stage of bone training. It's only been a month. How could he be promoted to the initial stage of tendon training all of a sudden?"

　　Xu Ke, who was standing by, also shook his head in disbelief after reading the note, questioning, "Although my cultivation is not high, I still have some knowledge of martial arts. I am not talented, but it took me four years to move from bone training to tendon training. How could Zhou Yun improve so quickly in just one month?"

　　As a descendant of a great family, and with a military commander in office, Zhao Guang had a little more experience. After a moment of silence, Zhao Guang slowly said, "I don't quite believe it. Zhou Yun is only fifteen years old this year. I have heard of fifteen-year-old muscle training warriors. Several princes of the present have already started muscle training at the age of fifteen, but what is the power of the royal family? What is their background? How could Zhou Yun also have such a speed of improvement?"

　　After reading the note, Wang Hai, Xu Ke and Zhao Guang had all spoken, leaving only Chen Yongheng as the only one who hadn't spoken yet.

　　After thinking for a moment, Chen Yongheng slowly said, "Brother Han, the letter said that they didn't even see Zhou Yun's shadow, but how can they be sure that Zhou Yun has already achieved the level of tendon training?"

　　The point that Chen Yongheng asked about was a crucial paradox. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's attention turned back to Han Hu, wanting to get an answer.

　　Sighing silently, Han Hu said, "It's not like we haven't seen Zhou Yun before. One of our warriors who was responsible for monitoring the movements outside the Black Dragon Mountain Range discovered Zhou Yun that day. At that time, he was fighting a third-level beast, a sawtooth black panther, and he was not at a disadvantage. Our warrior who was secretly monitoring Zhou Yun immediately passed the news back, but when Han Hu and other warriors arrived, the sawtooth black panther was already dead, and the warrior from my family had also been discovered and killed."

　　hiss!

　　As soon as Han Hu's explanation came out, everyone couldn't help but take a breath. If this is the case, then the biggest possibility is that Zhou Yun killed the Sawtooth Black Panther with his own strength, and then discovered the Han family's surveillance warrior and killed him.

　　By the time Han Hu and others arrived, everything was over.

　　Although he was unwilling to believe it, this was indeed the most likely scenario. Being able to kill the Sawtooth Black Panther meant that Zhou Yun's cultivation was at least at the initial stage of tendon training, or even higher!

　　The rapid improvement of Zhou Yun's cultivation made several nobles in Heyang City feel great pressure. They had already become enemies with Zhou Yun. Although it was not a big grudge, there was still a grudge. If Zhou Yun really became successful in the future, they would definitely be retaliated by Zhou Yun.

　　At this moment, the words Han Hu left in the letter just now jumped into everyone's mind more and more clearly.

　　In an instant, the entire Shanhe Hall became silent.

　　The Wang, Han, Chen and Xu families were all worried about the future of their families, but only Zhao Guang's eyes were filled with excitement.

　　At this moment, he had only one thought, that is, there must be an earth-shattering treasure in the treasure box of the Divine General that Zhou Yun obtained. Otherwise, Zhou Yun would not have been able to achieve such a rapid improvement.The more unreasonable and rapid the improvement

　　was

　　"I must get the treasure box of the mighty general!" With greed flashing in his eyes, Zhao Guang made a silent decision in his heart.

　　"Mr. Zhao, what should we do about this?" Seeing the expression on Zhao Guang's face flickering, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. As people who have lived for half their lives, everyone naturally guessed Zhao Guang's thoughts. After exchanging glances for a moment, Wang Hai immediately asked carefully.

　　Zhao Guang smiled as Wang Hai pulled him out of his fantasy. "This time, I will send a warrior who has practiced internal organ blood exchange to deal with Zhou Yun, but the four of you must also contribute. At least send a warrior who has practiced tendons or above to help, and find some warriors who have practiced at the peak of bone training to assist. But I have to make it clear in advance that the Shenwei General Treasure Box that Zhou Yun obtained can only belong to my Zhao family."

　　Although his cultivation was not deep and his character was not good, Zhao Guang was a descendant of a great family after all, so he still had some calculations. After knowing Zhou Yun's cultivation, Zhao Guang had guessed Han Long's thoughts. He wanted to use his own hands to get rid of Zhou Yun, the future troublemaker. After reading the letter, I'm afraid that the Wang, Xu, and Chen families had the same idea.

　　In this case, Zhao Guang doesn't mind taking on this task, but while the Zhao family will send a person with strong cultivation, the final benefits must also be enjoyed by the Zhao family alone.

　　After hearing what Zhao Guang said, the heads of the Wang, Han, Chen, and Xu families looked at each other with a hint of helplessness in their eyes. Although they were reluctant, they still had to accept such conditions.

　　"Everything will be arranged by the second young master Zhao." Wang Hai, who has the highest status, also expressed his opinion on behalf of the four families.

　　"Hahaha, very good!" Seeing that several people agreed, Zhao Guang immediately laughed, "Then let's agree to meet in the east of the city in three days. This time I will lead the operation personally. I will bring a congenital martial artist who has practiced the blood exchange realm to meet you."

　　With great enthusiasm, Zhao Guang finally set the tone for this aristocratic gathering.

　　Things had already been discussed, so naturally, no one was interested in staying in the guest house any longer. After exchanging pleasantries, the five people left one after another, and the food and wine on the table, worth three thousand taels of silver, remained untouched.

　　It was late at night and Heyang City became quiet again. However, beneath this quiet appearance, an undercurrent was quietly brewing.

　　After coming out of Huibin Building, Zhao Guang went straight back to the Qin family and headed to the garden where he had been staying for some time.

　　After turning a quiet and lush path, the garden where Zhao Guang temporarily lived appeared in front of him.

　　This garden is called Qingsong Garden, and it is open to guests when the Qin family entertains distinguished guests. Excited, Zhao Guang walked forward regardless of anything. Just then he looked up and saw a graceful figure standing quietly in front of Qingsong Garden.

　　The woman was dressed in red. There was a layer of gauze attached to the red silk long skirt. The waist was lightly tied up, outlining the enchanting curves. Under the gauze, the woman's graceful figure was faintly visible.

　　Her skin was as white as cream, her mouth was as white as a cherry and her nose was as beautiful as a rose. Her eyes and eyebrows were full of charm. Just one look at her seemed to be able to directly draw out the evil desires in the hearts of all men.

　　Seeing this woman, Zhao Guang's breathing could not help but stagnate, but then Zhao Guang woke up. He was very familiar with this woman. Although he would feel amazed every time he saw her, he would recover after just a moment.

　　After all, he and this woman are related by blood and he cannot have any contact with her.

　　"Lan'er, what are you doing here?" The woman was Qin Lan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family. Seeing Qin Lan waiting here, Zhao Guang asked subconsciously.

　　"Second brother, my grandfather told me to tell you that if possible, it's best not to make an enemy of Zhou Yun." Qin Lan looked at Zhao Guang deeply and spoke slowly. She had just received a message from the old man of the Qin family who was in seclusion, asking her not to participate in the plan to murder Zhou Yun.

　　Although the entire message consisted of only a few words, Qin Lan did not quite understand what the old man of the Qin family meant, but her long-term respect for the old man made Qin Lan decide to obey.

　　Just now, Zhao Guang hurried out, and Qin Lan naturally knew why he went out. After all, the Qin family and the Zhao family are relatives, so after thinking about it, Qin Lan decided to remind Zhao Guang.

　　After hearing what Qin Lan said, Zhao Guang was slightly surprised, but then he smiled again, "Lan'er, you are joking. I can decide my own affairs, so you don't need to worry about it. It's getting late, go to bed early."

　　His mind was completely occupied by the possible treasure in Zhou Yun's hands. It was impossible for Zhao Guang to listen to Qin Lan's words now.

　　After saying hello, Zhao Guang went straight into Qingsong Garden without saying anything else.

　　Looking at Zhao Guang's hurried departure, Qin Lan shook her head silently, turned and left.

　　Chapter 58 Shadow

　　In the Black Dragon Mountains, after wiping out the Wansheng Sect members led by Chen Feng in one battle, Zhou Yun had actually resolved all the threats nearby. There were no more obstacles along the way, and Zhou Yun successfully returned to the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower under the mysterious pool.

　　This time, Zhou Yun was not in a hurry to go to the second floor of the Transmission Tower to challenge the war puppet, but was prepared to work hard to improve his basic cultivation first.

　　"Then Meng Qingchen is right. The refinement of combat skills is certainly important, but basic cultivation is even more important. Giving up on improving one's cultivation and focusing on honing skills is really putting the cart before the horse. Skills only need to reach a certain level, and they must be improved in sync with cultivation." Sitting cross-legged on the first floor of the Power Transmission Tower, Zhou Yun recalled Meng Qingchen's words and muttered to himself.

　　Although Zhou Yun still couldn't guess the identities of Meng Qingchen and others at this time, Zhou Yun did not feel any hostility from them, so he decided to follow Meng Qingchen's advice.

　　"No matter what, let's start practicing first. We will know what we should know in the future." Shaking his head, Zhou Yun no longer thought about the identities of Meng Qingchen and others. He took out the mysterious piece from the space ring. Zhou Yun held the piece in his palm and slowly closed his eyes.

　　Now Zhou Yun wants to improve his cultivation, so he will naturally use this mysterious piece of land to practice. Although he has bone and tendon training techniques, Zhou Yun has already discovered that his own boxing is far less effective than entering this mysterious piece of inky space to improve his cultivation.

　　Every time, as long as he emptied his mind and stayed quietly in this mysterious little piece, his cultivation would naturally improve, and at a very fast speed! The existence of this mysterious little piece was the basis for Zhou Yun to quickly improve his cultivation!

　　Since discovering this power transmission tower, Zhou Yun had not entered this mysterious small space for a long time. As Zhou Yun's consciousness gradually entered, a figure immediately condensed on the vast black land in the small space, and Zhou Yun immediately felt his own presence.

　　Still lying there quietly, Zhou Yun felt that his body in the inky space was more sensitive than before.

　　With past experience, Zhou Yun no longer focused on other things. Instead, he closed his eyes and quietly felt the pulse of the world.

　　As Zhou Yun's heart gradually calmed down, he began to breathe slowly from his nostrils. After taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun immediately felt his body become more solid.

　　Knowing that this kind of breathing practice would take an extremely long time, Zhou Yun did not think too much about it. He let his mind go empty and gradually immersed himself in it completely.

　　Three days passed in a flash, and Zhou Yun was still practicing unconsciously in the inky space. Zhou Yun's body in the inky space had become more and more real and condensed. Lying there, Zhou Yun's consciousness remained in a state between half asleep and half awake.

　　On the one hand, he emptied his mind and let his body naturally keep in sync with the pulse of the world, thus achieving the purpose of cultivation. On the other hand, Zhou Yun also devoted a small part of his energy to quietly feel the changes in his body.

　　In this inky world, the air contained incredible power, like nutrients, and every breath allowed Zhou Yun to grow greatly. Being in this inky space, just breathing quietly, Zhou Yun could feel his cultivation level improving steadily.

　　Zhou Yun wanted to wait until his physical strength increased to a certain level with his breathing, so that he could stand up in this ink-colored world. Now, Zhou Yun could already feel that his fingers could move slightly.

　　Zhou Yun was practicing silently in the power transmission tower. Thousands of miles away in the Li Mansion in Heyang City, Zhou Xue's courtyard also welcomed a guest.

　　"Xiaoxue!" A joyful voice broke the silence of the courtyard. Li Yi, dressed in a blue brocade robe, walked directly into the garden in the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived through the small door on the side wall.

　　The small courtyard where Zhou Xue lived was originally separated from Li Yi's mansion. There was a door on the side wall of the small garden, which could lead directly into the small courtyard from the Li's mansion, and Li Yi walked in through that small door.

　　In the garden, Zhou Xue, in a white dress, was watering the trees in the garden.

　　The severe winter is gradually passing. Although it is not yet spring, some trees in the garden have begun to sprout.

　　Seeing Li Yi running over excitedly, Zhou Xue also put down the kettle in her hand and walked over.

　　"Why did you come over here again? If your family sees us, they will gossip about me again." Zhou Xue looked at Li Yi with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, but her tone was a little reproachful.

　　During the one month she had lived in this small courtyard, Zhou Xue's life was quite easy. She had a lot of free time to read. She also made some embroidery and asked the servants of the Li family to take it out and sell it to some cloth shops. She lived a good life.

　　After getting away from those hard days, Zhou Xue's complexion improved a lot and she became more beautiful, but the kind and gentle aura in her body remained without any change.

　　Facing Zhou Xue's small complaint, Li Yi just smiled and didn't say much. He raised the letter in his hand and said, "Xiaoxue, there is news from Zhou Yun. A letter was sent from the capital today."

　　After Zhou Yun left, Zhou Xue hadn't written to the address Zhou Yun left behind because there was nothing going on at home. But a long time had passed, and Zhou Xue also wanted to know about Zhou Yun's recent situation, so she wrote a letter.

　　It’s been less than ten days since I sent the letter, but I didn’t expect to receive a reply so soon.

　　When Zhou Xue heard about Zhou Yun's news, she immediately showed a happy smile on her face. "You got a reply so soon? It takes seven days to send a letter from Heyang to the capital. It's only been nine days since our letter was sent. How come it came back so quickly?"

　　"It's a first-class express reply, delivered over a thousand miles, so of course it's fast. I don't know who Zhou Yun knows in the capital that he would send a letter via express mail over a thousand miles." Li Yi said in surprise as he handed the letter to Zhou Xue.

　　Zhou Xue took the envelope and opened it carefully with a hint of doubt. When Li Yi began to tell her the address, Zhou Xue was also a little surprised. They had been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and Zhou Xue knew almost everything about Zhou Yun, and Zhou Yun had never said that he had any friends in Beijing.

　　Moreover, as they were servants and had been in the Qin family for so many years, it was impossible for them to have any friends in the capital.

　　The envelope was opened, and a piece of exquisite letter paper immediately came into the sight of the two. It was exquisite and extremely clean, with a faint fragrance. You could tell it was extraordinary at first glance.

　　After unfolding it, lines of fair and beautiful handwriting immediately appeared.

　　Sister Zhou Xue Huijian:

　　I received Zhou Yun's letter the day before yesterday. Zhou Yun is currently doing well and there is no need to worry.

　　I would also frequently convey Zhou Yun's latest news to my sister.

　　If you have any important matters, please write to me and I will convey them to Zhou Yun as soon as possible.

　　Respectfully submitted by Jun Yao.

　　Li Yi and Zhou Xue read the letter together. After reading the contents of the letter, they looked at each other and saw a hint of suspicion in each other's eyes.

　　"Xiaoxue, this Jun Yao should be a girl, right?" Li Yi said with a hint of hesitation.

　　Zhou Xue rolled her eyes at Li Yi with amusement and said, "Have you ever seen a man named Jun Yao? Moreover, such a beautiful name, she must be a lady from a noble family."

　　Although Jun Yao's letter only contained a few words, the handwriting was extremely fair, and the words conveyed a sense of courtesy and consideration, making it very comfortable to read.

　　"Zhou Yun is a really talented guy. He has unknowingly made the acquaintance of a famous lady in the capital. I have to send this expedited letter thousands of miles away. My family usually doesn't use such letters." Li Yi smiled as he watched Zhou Xue put away the letter.

　　Putting the letter close to her body, Zhou Xue's face unconsciously showed a smile. Although it was not stated in the letter, Zhou Xue had already felt that this girl had feelings for Zhou Yun, which could be felt from the way she addressed herself.

　　And Zhou Yun trusted this girl in such a dangerous situation and let her serve as a transit for communicating with his family. It is obvious that this girl has a special position in Zhou Yun's heart.

　　Judging from the handwriting and wording in the letter, this girl is also a well-educated and good girl. If my brother can get married earlier, my parents in heaven will definitely be very pleased.

　　"Okay, Xiaoyun will tell me about this when she comes back, so don't guess blindly." Knowing that Zhou Yun was fine, Zhou Xue put away the letter and looked at Li Yi and said, "It's almost evening, do you want to stay for dinner?"

　　Zhou Xue had already received the news about Zhou Yun, and she also knew that her brother might have a girl he liked, and that girl was quite talented. Her mood also improved.

　　After hearing Zhou Xue's question, Li Yi also showed a happy expression on his face, "Great, I haven't eaten the food cooked by Xiaoxue for a long time, and my gluttony is ready to eat."

　　Because of Jun Yao's letter, Zhou Xue and Li Yi both felt the long-lost ease and happiness. At this time, Qin Mansion, Qingsong Garden, and Zhao Guang's residence in Heyang City also welcomed a somewhat mysterious person.

　　In the room, Zhao Guang was sitting there quietly, his mind still circling around, thinking about what kind of treasure he could get from Zhou Yun. Suddenly, a black figure appeared in his room.

　　"Second Young Master." A slightly hoarse voice came out, bringing Zhao Guang back to his senses.

　　When he looked up, he saw a man covered in a black cloak standing beside him.

　　"Shadow, you're here." Seeing this figure, Zhao Guang immediately stood up, "You know everything I said in the letter, are you sure?"

　　This shadow was extremely mysterious, and the huge black cloak covered his entire body. Only a pair of somewhat cold eyes could be vaguely seen.

　　"It would be easy for me to kill a fifteen-year-old boy, even if he is training his muscles." Shadow said slowly without making any noise, "But I can't stay here for too long. The fighting on the northwest front is intense. I can stay here for a maximum of twenty days. After twenty days, I must return."

　　After hearing Shadow's words, Zhao Guang also showed a thoughtful look on his face. Shadow was a warrior of the Zhao family and the bodyguard of his eldest brother Zhao Lei. Zhao Lei was a lieutenant general of the Black Snake Army on the northwest front of the Tianyuan Dynasty, so Shadow was also considered a member of the army.

　　This time, in order to hunt down Zhou Yun, Zhao Guang had even borrowed officers from the army. If he was caught, it would be a heinous crime. This was a serious matter, so Zhao Guang had to be careful.

　　"Okay, let's set off overnight. I will definitely find a way to force Zhou Yun out. The rest is up to you." Nodding, Zhao Guang spoke slowly.

　　Chapter 59: Poisonous Scheme

　　In that mysterious little piece, that inky world is as quiet as ever.

　　Suddenly, a slight tremor came from the bottom of the inky world. The tremor was extremely difficult, as if a newborn baby, and every step was staggering.

　　The source of the vibration was Zhou Yun!

　　After crawling in the inky world for ten days, Zhou Yun condensed his breathing again and again. From being able to move only a little finger at the beginning, now he can finally try to stand up.

　　Feeling that the strength in his body had accumulated to a certain level, Zhou Yun took a deep breath, filling his chest and abdomen with the spiritual energy in the inky world, and began to try hard to stand up.

　　Supporting the ground with his hands, Zhou Yun first arched his back. The body condensed in this inky world was like a newborn baby, extremely weak, but Zhou Yun knew that he had to rely on perseverance to stand up.

　　After this period of time, the muscle lines on Zhou Yun's body have become more obvious. With this exertion, Zhou Yun's muscles immediately began to tremble, and his body seemed to be filled with lead.

　　With his back lifted up, Zhou Yun began to raise his head with great effort. As soon as he raised his head, Zhou Yun immediately inhaled a more pure spiritual energy. Now Zhou Yun's body was already kneeling on the ground, and his chest was no longer oppressed. Zhou Yun immediately felt that the effect of his body's growth when breathing was more obvious than before.

　　"I must stand up, I must stand up." At this time Zhou Yun had realized that only by standing up could his body grow faster.

　　Gritting his teeth, Zhou Yun finally tried to get his knees off the ground, and he was almost standing up.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun filled his chest and abdomen with the spiritual energy from the inky world.

　　"rise!"

　　With a low roar, Zhou Yun exerted force with his arms and finally supported himself, truly standing in this inkless world.

　　As Zhou Yun stood up, he seemed to have entered a whole new world. The vast black world became clearer to him. Without the pressure of lying there, Zhou Yun's breathing became much smoother. In the black world, streams of spiritual energy began to gather around Zhou Yun crazily. Just by standing there and breathing in the most appropriate way, Zhou Yun could clearly feel his own growth!

　　Gradually, a faint vortex formed in the inky world, and Zhou Yun was the center of the vortex. The spiritual energy around him began to gather towards Zhou Yun.

　　In this world, breathing is the best way to improve cultivation, and the posture of the body can affect the effect of breathing. Unconsciously, Zhou Yun adjusted his standing position, with his feet slightly apart, his tailbone drooping, and his back straight. As Zhou Yun naturally adjusted his posture to the best, the faint white vortex in the ink-colored world became more obvious.

　　Standing in that inky world, Zhou Yun couldn't help but think of the Wild Bear Fist routine in his mind, and his body began to move involuntarily.

　　Zhou Yun began to practice independently, move by move, form by form.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun stood up on the open space on the first floor of the power transmission tower and assumed the starting posture of the Wild Bear Fist.

　　At this time, if someone with a high level of cultivation saw Zhou Yun, he would be shocked by Zhou Yun's movements. There was no other reason, just because Zhou Yun's movements at this moment were too standard and too natural. Any martial arts will have the greatest power only when it is practiced naturally, just like Meng Qingchen and others. Although they are just simple movements, after performing them, they seem to be in line with the way of heaven.

　　Zhou Yun now has such a feeling, and that feeling of being in line with the Way of Heaven is even more obvious than that of Meng Qingchen.

　　With his hands raised and his knees slightly bent, Zhou Yun's movements on the first floor of the Power Transmission Tower were exactly the same as the Zhou Yun in the ink-colored world.

　　Gaba, gaba.

　　During the practice, the bones of Zhou Yun's entire body began to make noises like popping beans. The sound of bones caused by practicing bone-refining techniques was a sign of improvement in cultivation. Many practitioners would do a whole set of punches, and their bones would only start to make noises when they finished practicing. However, Zhou Yun's entire body of bones had already made violent noises when he just started practicing.

　　During this kind of training, Zhou Yun's cultivation began to improve rapidly.

　　As night fell, Xiqing Town became quiet. Six or seven people gathered in an inn, and the atmosphere in the whole room was somewhat depressing.

　　"It's been seven days, and Zhou Yun still hasn't been found. Let's talk about what we should do!" This group of people were the noble warriors in Heyang City who were preparing to deal with Zhou Yun. They had been in this place for ten days, but still hadn't found any trace of Zhou Yun.

　　"Second Young Master, I hope you remember what I said before. Ten days have passed. I must return in ten days at most." A shadow in a black cloak standing behind Zhao Guang spoke slowly.

　　This time he ran out of the barracks to help Zhao Guang deal with Zhou Yun. This was a big mistake. Now half of the time had passed, and Zhou Yun had not been found at all. Although he was a warrior of the Zhao family and it was natural for him to serve Zhao Guang, in the Zhao family, his shadow belonged to Zhao Lei. At the critical moment, he had to consider Zhao Lei and return to the barracks instead of staying here.

　　"I know!" After hearing Shadow's words, Zhao Guang immediately waved his hands impatiently.

　　"Don't just sit there, think of a way quickly!" Zhao Guang was very annoyed as he still couldn't find Zhou Yun. Although several other nobles had sent some warriors in the tendon training stage, Zhao Guang felt that if he wanted to kill Zhou Yun, he had to rely on Shadow. In addition to Shadow, although there were four warriors in the tendon training stage and Han Long in the middle stage of tendon training, Zhao Guang still had no confidence.

　　There are only ten days left, and he must find Zhou Yun within these ten days.

　　After being yelled at by Zhao Guang, the muscle training warriors sent by the Wang, Xu and Chen families all lowered their heads and kept silent. Although their cultivation was good, their status was still far inferior to Zhao Guang. When they came out, they were told by the heads of each family to talk less and do things according to the arrangements. As long as they didn't make mistakes, they would naturally not make any suggestions now.

　　This time, Han Long came in person, because he was the only muscle-training warrior left in the Han family.

　　When Zhao Guang was questioning, Han Long's mind was also working rapidly. After thinking for a moment, a somewhat vicious idea emerged in his mind.

　　"Second Young Master, I have an idea, but I wonder if it is feasible." Han Long said, nodding to Zhao Guang.

　　"If you have any ideas, tell us quickly. It's already this time. What's feasible or not? We have to try it no matter what!" Zhao Guang said, looking at Han Long unhappily.

　　Being ridiculed by Zhao Guang, Han Long's expression changed, but looking at the shadow standing behind Zhao Guang, he suppressed all the resentment in his heart.

　　During the past few days of searching for Zhou Yun in the Black Dragon Mountains, their team encountered level three and even level four ferocious beasts several times, but these murderers were quickly killed by a mysterious shadow in a black cloak.

　　Han Long knew that compared to Shadow, his strength was not even worth his respect.

　　Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhao Guang said, "We have been looking for so long and still haven't found Zhou Yun. Given his caution, it is unlikely that we will see him no matter how long we wait. Instead of just sitting and waiting, we might as well think of some other way to force Zhou Yun to show up himself."

　　"Force Zhou Yun to show up himself? How to do it, please tell me, Master Han!" Zhao Guang's eyes lit up immediately when he heard Han Long's words.

　　With a ferocious look on his face, Han Long said, "For Zhou Yun, the most important person is his sister Zhou Xue. Since Zhou Yun doesn't show up, we might as well attack Zhou Xue and force Zhou Yun to show up!"

　　"Zhou Xue!?" Zhao Guang leaned forward slightly, and he became interested. He always coveted the beautiful Zhou Xue, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed unlikely. "It's not easy, right? Zhou Xue is actually living in the Li family now. The Li family is also a big family. Although there are no masters in the family, their status is not lower than our Zhao family. If I rush in and harm Zhou Xue, it may not be appropriate."

　　Han Long smiled and said, "There is no need to tie up Zhou Xue. We just need to find some strong poison and find a way to poison Zhou Xue. Then Zhou Yun will definitely show up after getting the news. I don't believe that Li Yi has no contact with Zhou Yun. As long as there is a problem with Zhou Xue, Zhou Yun will naturally show up."

　　"Poison? That's a good idea." Touching his chin, Zhao Guang pondered, "But the Li family is also very powerful. If we want to find a poison that the Li family can't cure, it may not be easy."

　　As soon as Zhao Guang said this, Han Long immediately fell silent. Although he proposed the idea of ​​poisoning, he was not good at using poison, and it was not easy to complete the poisoning.

　　"Leave this to me." Just as the atmosphere in the room fell silent again, the shadow next to him who had been silent suddenly spoke.

　　"Do you have a solution?" Hearing the shadow's words, Zhao Guang immediately turned around and looked at the shadow in a black cloak behind him.

　　With two sinister laughs, Shadow said, "Second Young Master, have you forgotten where I was fighting? Those Persian charlatans on the northwest front are best at using poison. I happen to have a poison here that won't kill you quickly, but it's almost impossible to cure. If Zhou Yun is really still in contact with Zhou Xue, I can definitely lure him out!"

　　"Okay!" Zhao Guang slapped the armrest of the chair and stood up. "Shadow, I'll leave this matter to you. Zhou Yun is a big problem for me. What's more, the things in his hands are also very important to me. I'll leave this matter to you. Don't let me down."

　　"Don't worry, Second Young Master!" A hoarse voice responded, and the shadow's body flashed quietly and disappeared in front of everyone.

　　Chapter 60: Blatant Invasion

　　After leaving the inn, Yingzi took a fast horse and rushed directly to Heyang City. Due to his advanced cultivation, Yingzi could travel at an extremely fast speed.

　　Without caring about the lives of the horses at all, Shadow just urged the horses forward frantically along the way. After one horse was exhausted, Shadow started to run quickly by himself. Until he met a merchant passing by on the official road, Shadow snatched the horse and continued on his way.

　　With such a crazy march, Shadow returned to Heyang City in just one day and one night.

　　It was already late at night, and instead of entering through the main gate, a shadow quietly sneaked in from the side wall of Heyang City.

　　Although the walls of Heyang City were built quite magnificently and there were guards patrolling on them, these guards, who were only at the Skin Training Realm, were like wooden men in front of Shadow, and it was impossible for them to catch Shadow's whereabouts.

　　Shadow easily sneaked into Heyang City and hurried all the way to the street where the Li family mansion was located.

　　Standing in the shadow of the street, Yingzi silently looked at the small courtyard across the street. That courtyard was where Zhou Xue lived.

　　A faint cold light flashed in the eyes hidden under the black cloak, and the shadow immediately moved, rushing across the street at an almost inhuman speed. The shadow leaped up and rushed directly into the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived.

　　As soon as he entered the courtyard, Shadow immediately caught a faint stream of blood and energy. That stream of blood and energy had no cultivation, so it should be Zhou Xue. And around the courtyard there were some strong sources of blood and energy, which should be some warriors who practiced skin and bones.

　　"This kind of protection is quite good, but it is vulnerable in front of me." Knowing that the energy and blood distributed around the courtyard came from the warriors sent by the Li family to protect Zhou Xue, Shadow whispered hoarsely and moved his body again.

　　After entering the stage of internal organ training and blood transfusion, the warrior's entire person will be elevated to a whole new level. The body has been condensed to perfection, and the warrior's sensory ability has also leaped to a new level. Not only does he have a strong sense of the Qi and blood power within a range of dozens of meters, he can also predict danger, which is extremely magical.

　　So after entering the courtyard, Shadow immediately felt that although the courtyard had good defenses around it, it was almost like a blank sheet of paper to him.

　　Following the slightly weak blood and energy, the shadow rushed towards Zhou Xue's location like a giant bat.

　　"Who!" As soon as he started, a figure rushed out from the side of the courtyard. This was the warrior that Li Yi had arranged in the mansion to protect Zhou Xue.

　　Without saying a word, Shadow stretched out his finger, and a stream of true energy immediately circulated rapidly in his body and shot out. The two were still three meters apart when the warrior was hit in the heart by the true energy that had left his body, and he immediately flew backwards.

　　His pupils were dilated and the warrior was about to die in an instant.

　　"Innate... martial artist!" He felt that his heart meridians were instantly crushed, and he couldn't get into the black-clothed man at all. The Li family warrior who was protecting Zhou Xue showed a look of fear in his eyes, snorted softly, and fell down directly.

　　In the room, Zhou Xue had just blown out the light and was about to rest when she heard a thumping sound like a sack being thrown on the ground, and a ghostly figure broke through the door and rushed in!

　　"Who is it!" Although her face was pale, Zhou Xue did not scream in panic. Instead, she took out a small knife she carried with her.

　　"Hehe." Looking at Zhou Xue's actions, Shadow's eyes also flashed with approval. This is indeed an outstanding woman, but she is destined not to survive in the world.

　　Faintly, Zhou Xue only saw a pair of evil eyes flash by in the black cloak opposite, and then a ball of green mist exploded in front of her.

　　Zhou Xue only felt a spicy sensation in her nostrils, and her whole body immediately went limp.

　　After the poison was successful, Shadow immediately withdrew.

　　"Stay here!" The loud noise of breaking Zhou Xue's door just now has alarmed all the warriors guarding around Zhou Xue's courtyard. At this time, these warriors have gathered together. Seeing the shadow running out of Zhou Xue's room, six or seven Li family warriors immediately rushed forward!

　　"Get out of here!" The shadow didn't take any action, but just shouted loudly. All the warriors of the Li family immediately felt thunder exploding in their ears, and their blood began to rush around in their bodies.

　　The two warriors with weaker cultivation base immediately spat out blood. By the time the warriors from the Li family reacted, the shadow of the man in the black cloak had already disappeared without a trace.

　　"Hurry! Report to the young master!" Looking at the broken door and the assassin who had disappeared without a trace, the warriors of the Li family immediately knew that the matter was serious.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun was still practicing in the power transmission tower. As if unconsciously, Zhou Yun had practiced the Wild Bear Fist for more than thirty times. With repeated practice, the sound of Zhou Yun's bones had become very sparse from the dense sounds at the beginning.

　　Just as Zhou Yun was practicing hard, suddenly, a throbbing feeling came from the bottom of his heart. The feeling was extremely strange, as if something most important was destroyed, and his whole heart seemed to be torn into pieces.

　　As soon as this feeling came out, Zhou Yun's practice could not continue and he was forced to stop. Zhou Yun ran out from the mysterious inky space.

　　Standing on the first floor of the Kung Fu Transmission Tower, Zhou Yun covered his chest tightly with his face pale.

　　"What's wrong? I feel so uncomfortable all of a sudden. Something must have happened." Zhou Yun muttered to himself as a cold sweat broke out on his head.

　　Zhou Yun had never encountered such a situation before. Only when he first met Lin Junyao's brother Lin Juntian, Zhou Yun felt for a moment that he was about to lose Lin Junyao. That kind of heartache briefly surfaced in his heart.

　　But this time, the feeling was very obvious and lasting, and Zhou Yun's heart was still aching until now.

　　"Has something happened to Jun Yao? Or, is it my sister?" After taking two deep breaths, Zhou Yun suppressed the unspeakable pain in his heart. With the continuous improvement of his martial arts skills, Zhou Yun had more and more trust in martial artists. He knew that such a situation suddenly occurred to him, so something must have happened.

　　Now that Zhou Yun is fine here, it must be that his most important person has encountered some danger.

　　In Zhou Yun's heart, there are only two women who are the most important. One is his sister Zhou Xue, and the other is Lin Junyao, who he has decided to be with for the rest of his life.

　　Almost in an instant, Zhou Yun wanted to rush out of the power transmission tower, but after careful consideration, Zhou Yun gave up the impulsive idea. Now Zhou Yun was not sure what had happened.

　　Jun Yao and Zhou Xue were in two different places, and Zhou Yun was not sure where he should go, so he could only wait.

　　"Jun Yao is in the capital, of noble status, and surrounded by many protective guards, so nothing should go wrong. Although my sister is alone, Li Yi should also protect her. Even if something goes wrong, the news will definitely reach me as quickly as possible. We must not panic at this time."

　　Zhou Yun reminded himself repeatedly in his heart and it took him a long time to suppress the throbbing in his heart and calm down. He knew that he could do nothing now and could only wait.

　　Zhou Xue was in danger, and Zhou Yun, who was thousands of miles away, immediately sensed it. At this time, the Li Mansion in Heyang City was already in chaos.

　　They had already rested, but when Li Yi heard the servants report that the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived had been attacked, he immediately jumped up and hurried to the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived.

　　Although the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived was private, it was still the territory of the Li family. The only big family in Heyang City was attacked, so it was no exaggeration to say that this matter was serious.

　　The county magistrate of Heyang City was on his way over after receiving the news, and the old man of the Li family was also alarmed.

　　"How is Xiaoxue?" As soon as he entered the courtyard and saw several warriors in charge of protecting Zhou Xue, Li Yi immediately shouted.

　　With shame revealed on their faces, the Li family warriors shook their heads. Two of them even had dark blue faces, which was extremely scary.

　　Seeing that the warriors did not respond, Li Yi immediately wanted to enter Zhou Xue's room.

　　"Young Master, the poisonous gas in the room has not dissipated yet. Chen Shou and Wang Tong have already taken Miss Zhou Xue out. She is now in the side room." Seeing Li Yi's actions, Li Qingquan immediately ran up and stopped Li Yi.

　　Chen Shou and Wang Tong were both warriors worshipped by the Li family. They both had the middle level of bone training. But now the colors on their faces were extremely horrifying. Their eye sockets were swollen, their eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark spots on their faces, making them look extremely scary.

　　Seeing the condition of these two warriors, Li Yi knew that this matter was not simple.

　　These two skilled warriors became like this because they entered Zhou Xue's room and took Zhou Xue out. It is conceivable how bad Zhou Xue's condition is now.

　　With a chill in his heart, Li Yi carefully walked into the wing room of the courtyard.

　　Under the bed in the wing room, a figure in white was lying there quietly. Although he had prepared himself mentally, when Li Yi saw Zhou Xue's appearance, he still couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart!

　　"Xiaoxue!" Li Yi shouted and rushed to Zhou Xue's side. At this moment, Zhou Xue's face was covered with a strange dark blue color. Although her beautiful face in the past was still vaguely visible, she now looked more like a weak person who had been poisoned. Seeing Zhou Xue's appearance, Li Yi was immediately heartbroken.

　　"Young Master! You can't touch Miss Zhou Xue. She is very poisonous." Li Qingquan had been following Li Yi to prevent any accidents. Seeing Li Yi's actions, he immediately pounced on him and stopped him.

　　"Get out of the way. I'm not afraid of this damn poison. I want to see Xiaoxue!" Li Yi couldn't care less about his beloved woman who had become like this. While struggling hard, Li Yi roared.

　　"Master, calm down. Let's find a way to solve the problem now. If you are also poisoned, it will not help at all!" A pair of arms held Li Yi tightly like an iron clamp, and Li Qingquan's words were also a little harsh.

　　While the two were arguing, Zhou Xue on the bed moved slightly.

　　"Li Yi..." Zhou Xue on the bed murmured softly with her lips moving slightly.

　　Hearing this voice, Li Yi and Li Qingquan stopped their actions at the same time.

　　"Xiaoxue!" Li Yi stopped struggling and tried to move closer to Zhou Xue, saying, "Xiaoxue, I'm listening to whatever you want to say."

　　As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, the whole room immediately became quiet. Everyone kept silent, waiting for Zhou Xue to speak.

　　Breathing had become extremely difficult, and her body was shaking. Zhou Xue spoke weakly and intermittently, "Li... Yi... don't tell Xiaoyun, promise... me..."

　　After she finished speaking, Zhou Xue's breathing immediately became more rapid. After trying hard to adjust for a long time, Zhou Xue finally forced herself to open her eyes and looked deeply at Li Yi at the head of the bed. Tears gradually appeared in Zhou Xue's eyes.

　　As if she wanted to remember Li Yi's appearance in her mind, Zhou Xue looked at him for a long time, and then suddenly closed her eyes.

　　"Xiaoxue!" Seeing Zhou Xue's appearance, Li Yi immediately rushed up like crazy.

　　Chapter 61: Soul-Locking Incense

　　Zhou Xue's performance just now almost made Li Yi's heart die in an instant. His eyes were completely bloodshot and turned red. Li Yi wanted to throw himself to Zhou Xue desperately.

　　"Master, don't be impulsive. Miss Zhou Xue is not dead, she is just unconscious. I can still feel her blood and energy!" Standing next to Li Yi, Li Qingquan was carefully paying attention to Li Yi's changes. Therefore, as soon as Li Yi made a move, Li Qingquan stopped him.

　　Hearing Li Qingquan's words, Li Yi finally stopped moving. Zhou Xue's behavior just now was as if she was looking at him for the last time. That look almost made Li Yi pass out in pain. In fact, it was not Zhou Xue's fault. Without any cultivation, her body was in such a bad condition that she even had difficulty breathing. Zhou Xue really thought she was going to die.

　　The movement stopped, Li Yi carefully sensed it and immediately found that Zhou Xue on the bed was still breathing. Although his heart was still aching, Li Yi quickly calmed down. After the initial excitement, Li Yi now knew that he had to stay awake. If he was confused at this time, Zhou Xue would be in real danger.

　　Taking a deep breath, Li Yi turned and left the room.

　　"Uncle Qing, immediately ask the best doctor in the city to treat Xiaoxue. We offer a reward of 100,000 taels of silver. As long as Xiaoxue can be saved, we will pay any price!" After leaving the room, Li Yi immediately issued the first order.

　　Nodding, Li Qingquan turned around and said to a warrior behind him, "Did you hear what the eldest master said? Do as the eldest master asks, and invite a famous doctor as soon as possible. Don't limit yourself to Heyang City, invite doctors from the provincial capital as well!"

　　"Yes!" After a respectful salute, a warrior behind Li Qingquan immediately turned around and ran away.

　　After instructing Li Yi to hire a doctor for Zhou Xue, his mind calmed down a little and his thinking became more active.

　　Now he must first figure out the origin of the people who came to attack this time. In Heyang City, or even in the entire Tianhe Province, there are not many people who dare to challenge the Li family.

　　"Uncle Qing, what do you think about this incident? You should have seen the person who attacked. What is his cultivation level? How could he sneak in so easily? Who is the guard on duty today?" His face turned grim, Li Yi took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.

　　Li Yi absolutely cannot tolerate his beloved woman being hurt. In this matter, Li Yi will definitely track down those who dared to attack the Li family and Zhou Xue. And if the warriors in his own family are also unable to protect themselves, Li Yi will never tolerate it either.

　　After hearing what Li Yi said, Li Qingquan's face also showed a trace of sadness. He made a gesture of invitation to Li Yi and said, "Master, it's not that our people don't try their best. Please follow me and you will know after you see it."

　　The expression on Li Qingquan's face was very strange, as if he was unwilling, and seemed to have a hint of fear, as well as a little helplessness and heartache.

　　Not knowing what was going on, Li Yi followed Li Qingquan, passed through the small garden in the middle of Zhou Xue's courtyard, and the two came to the courtyard facing the street.

　　There, a corpse was still lying on the ground, not even moved, and the entire courtyard, including the streets outside, were under martial law by the officers and soldiers of Heyang City.

　　Next to the corpse, several warriors from the Li family were still gathered there, their faces filled with shock and fear.

　　"Young Master, this is our warrior Tian Yue. He is the only one who has been close to the assassin. Look at his wound." Li Qingquan walked over with Li Yi and pointed at the corpse on the ground.

　　The clothes on the corpse's chest had been torn open, revealing a thumb-sized grey wound on his heart. No blood was flowing out of the wound, and it wasn't even bruised. Instead, it was grey in colour and had an obvious depression.

　　"What kind of wound is this?" Li Yi had never seen the shape of the wound on the warrior's chest. There was no bleeding, no redness or swelling. Although the dent was the size of a thumb, it was not caused by a direct impact of the finger. Could such a wound directly kill a person?

　　With a heavy face, Li Qingquan took a deep look at the corpse on the ground and said in a low voice, "Master, this is a wound caused by the explosion of true energy outside the body. The true energy emitted by the assassin directly penetrated Tian Yue's heart. After entering the body, the true energy probably exploded directly. If we ignore Tian Yue's chest, we can definitely see that Tian Yue's heart is probably blown to pieces at this moment."

　　"True power is leaving the body! Could it be that the assassin is a congenital martial artist?" After hearing Li Qingquan's words, even with Li Yi's knowledge, he felt a chill in his heart for an instant.

　　Those who wanted to harm Zhou Yun were all nobles in Heyang City. These nobles were generally not as powerful as their Li family. What's more, the Qin family, which had the strongest military power among the nobles in Heyang City, had no hatred towards Zhou Yun. It was impossible for the other families to have such a powerful warrior as the innate martial artist.

　　Sighing silently, Li Qingquan said, "Master, although I can't believe it, this is indeed true. I also had a face-to-face encounter with the assassin when he was about to leave after poisoning me. However, I didn't see his appearance clearly. I was only attacked by his sonic boom. My mind was in a mess for almost half a breath. When I woke up, the assassin had already left."

　　With his brows tightly furrowed, Li Yi was a little confused at this time. He had thought before that Zhou Yun would be retaliated by some nobles, and the Divine General's treasure box on him would be coveted by some people with bad intentions, but Li Yi had never thought that a strong man at the level of innate martial artist would appear.

　　"Young Master, the master wants you to come over. He is waiting for you in the study." Just when Li Yi was confused, a servant hurried over and spoke to Li Yi.

　　Hearing that it was his father calling him, Li Yi's thoughts were drawn back.

　　"Okay, I'll be there now." After responding, he immediately told Li Qingquan and others to continue to guard the place strictly, while he turned and walked towards the core area of ​​the Li family mansion.

　　The Li family was the only great noble family in Heyang City. Their mansion was even larger than that of the Qin family, and the layout of the mansion was full of elegance. The Li family started out as a merchant, and unlike most noble families in the Tianyuan Dynasty who were led by warriors, the mansion was naturally built in a more orderly and refined manner.

　　After passing through the garden, Li Yi came directly to the main garden where the head of the Li family lived.

　　The light in the study was on. Because of this incident, all the warriors of the Li family had been called up. There was a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps in the entire mansion. The defense level was suddenly raised by several levels.

　　But Li Yi knew that the person with the highest cultivation level in the Li family was only at the peak of tendon training, and he was his father Li Changan's personal bodyguard. Even if he was at the peak of tendon training, he would probably not be able to resist a congenital martial artist who had reached the level of organ training and blood exchange.

　　In an instant, Li Yi felt the sorrow of a noble family of business. Compared with the Qin family in Heyang City, which was aggressive and wanted to replace the Li family to become a big family, the Li family's military force was indeed too weak.

　　According to rumors, there are three warriors in the Qin family who have reached the level of organ blood exchange, and the old patriarch of the Qin family is likely to have broken through to the martial saint level of Yijing marrow cleansing. Facing the strength of the Qin family, Li Yi really doesn't know how long his family's status as a great family can be maintained.

　　While thinking, Li Yi had already walked to the door of the study, "Father, I'm here."

　　"Well, Xiaoyi, come in." A moderate and peaceful voice was heard from the study.

　　With his father's permission, Li Yi pushed the door and walked in.

　　In the study, an old man with a thin figure and a serene look was sitting quietly behind a mahogany desk, silently reading the book in his hands.

　　"Father, you are looking for me." In a merchant's house, etiquette is very strict. Li Yi bowed respectfully to his father as soon as he entered the house. Although Zhou Xue had such a big incident, Li Yi was already very confused, but he still had to follow these etiquettes.

　　Nodding, Li Changan put down the book in his hand and looked up at Li Yi. Seeing that his son looked a little pale, but his eyes were still bright, and he was obviously not disturbed by this incident, Li Changan also nodded with satisfaction.

　　Looking at Li Yi, Li Changan asked, "Xiao Yi, how is Xiao Xue doing?"

　　His expression changed slightly, and Li Yi said in a low voice, "The situation is not optimistic. We still don't know what kind of poison Xiaoxue was infected with. The two warriors who had contact with Xiaoxue are also in a bad condition now."

　　After hearing what Li Yi said, Li Changan nodded silently, with a trace of disappointment on his face. Li Changan was also very satisfied with Zhou Xue. Although she was born in a humble family, she was a girl with a strong character and moving talents. Originally, there was a big gap between Zhou Xue and the Li family in terms of status.

　　However, as Zhou Yun was admitted to the Shenwei Training Camp as the first place in the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination, a bright future was just around the corner, and Li Changan also acquiesced to the marriage between Li Yi and Zhou Xue.

　　Naturally, he could see his son's feelings for Zhou Xue. Now that this had happened, Li Changan felt a little uncomfortable.

　　"Xiaoyi, Xiaoxue asked you not to inform Zhou Yun about this matter. What do you think?" Li Changan said, letting out a sigh of relief and suppressing the disappointment in his heart. Although he did not go to the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived in person, someone would naturally report the situation there to Li Changan. In this Li Mansion, nothing could be hidden from him.

　　As soon as Li Changan finished speaking, Li Yi immediately said firmly, "Of course we can't tell Zhou Yun about this. The assassin has a very high level of cultivation. If he wanted to kill someone, Xiaoxue would definitely not survive. However, he didn't kill her directly, but poisoned Xiaoxue so that she wouldn't die for a while, in order to lure Zhou Yun out. If we inform Zhou Yun, wouldn't that mean we've fallen into the other party's trap? The Xiantian martial artist must be waiting for Zhou Yun to show up and kill him. Xiaoxue is very smart and must know this, so she told him that."

　　After a pause, Li Yi continued, "With the power of our Li family, it will be no problem to find all the famous doctors nearby. In my opinion, we should cure Xiaoxue of the poison as soon as possible, and then let him enter our Li family's secret room, so there will be no problem. No matter how high the assassin's skills are, he dare not do anything more extreme in our Li family, otherwise, the court will not let them go."

　　With Li Yi's intelligence, as long as he kept calm, he could easily find out the many suspicious points in this assassination incident, and Li Yi also analyzed the assassin's real purpose very thoroughly.

　　Moreover, although the Li family did not have any powerful warriors, their status in the Tianyuan Dynasty was not low at all. The imperial court was fighting wars in all directions, and the money and food needed were almost astronomical figures. The Li family, as the largest merchant family in the Central Plains and several southwestern provinces, made an enormous contribution to the dynasty's financial resources. Such a contribution was far beyond the reach of a few powerful warriors.

　　Therefore, even though the Qin family’s military power has reached such a strong level, it still cannot easily shake the Li family’s position.

　　After hearing what Li Yi said, Li Changan showed a bitter smile on his face, nodded, and then shook his head.

　　Seeing his father's expression, Li Yi immediately became anxious, "Father, what do you mean?"

　　Sighing silently, Li Changan looked at the night sky outside the window and said quietly, "Xiaoyi, after listening to the report from the servants, I have roughly guessed what poison Xiaoxue was poisoned with. I have seen that poison when I was doing business in the northwest in my early years. It originated from the Persian Dynasty and is called Soul-Locking Incense. It is a strange poison that eats away at the soul. The poisoned person's body turns black and blue, his consciousness becomes chaotic, and he gradually becomes stupid, but he will not die soon. Only when the entire soul of the person is corroded will he turn into a mummy. This poison has no cure. Once poisoned, it is almost impossible to survive."

　　"What!" As soon as Li Changan finished speaking, Li Yi immediately screamed!

　　Chapter 62: Madness

　　Seeing his son's dazed look, Li Changan's eyes also revealed a trace of heartache, but he still calmly finished the next sentence, "Once poisoned by this soul-locking incense, it will be painful for seven to fifteen days before death. Although Xiaoxue said not to inform Zhou Yun about this matter, we can't really listen to him."

　　Li Changan sighed and continued, "The relationship between Zhou Yun and us depends on Zhou Xue. If Zhou Xue meets with an accident in my house and we don't inform him, so that he can't see Zhou Xue for the last time, I'm afraid Zhou Yun will resent us in the future. Tell Zhou Yun this news. If he can rush over, it will benefit us. If he can't rush over, we won't lose anything."

　　As a businessman, Li Changan saw these things very clearly. The lack of military power in the Li family has always been a concern for Li Changan. As a big merchant family, the Li family cannot directly let their children join the army to practice martial arts. In that case, the Li family, with its outstanding financial resources and strong military power, will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the dynasty, and the consequences will be disastrous.

　　And if Li Yi were to marry Zhou Xue and take advantage of Zhou Yun's future powerful military force, this would be a very good idea.

　　But now that Zhou Xue had such an incident, this idea might have to die. But no matter what, Li Changan couldn't let Zhou Yun transfer his hatred to the Li family. After all, Zhou Xue had an accident in the Li family. Therefore, notifying Zhou Yun now would almost put Zhou Yun in a desperate situation, but it was the most favorable choice for the Li family.

　　"Father, how can you think like that!" Li Yi is also a smart man. As soon as his father finished speaking, he immediately figured out the key point.

　　"Xiao Yi, be more mature. Xiao Xue is hard to save. It's not like we are being unkind or unjust. After all, we have tried our best. Besides, Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue are siblings. No matter what happens to Zhou Xue in the end, Zhou Yun has the right to see her for the last time." Li Changan walked around the desk, patted Li Yi on the shoulder, and left the study.

　　Standing there, Li Yi clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling a little, "Xiaoxue, don't worry, I will definitely save you, for sure!"

　　Although Li Changan described the poison in Zhou Xue as so horrible, Li Yi still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Zhou Xue could be cured by a famous doctor near Heyang City.

　　But what happened the next day caught Li Yi off guard. Five or six famous doctors from Heyang City who came one after another were unable to treat Zhou Xue's condition. One of the doctors even got poisoned after feeling Zhou Xue's pulse!

　　By this time, Zhou Xue's illness had spread throughout the entire Heyang City. All the nearby medical officers knew that Zhou Xue had an incurable disease that could be transmitted by touch. For a while, Li Yi couldn't find anyone who dared to treat Zhou Xue!

　　After this, Li Yi finally realized that his father's words were not alarmist. At this moment, Li Yi finally began to consider his father's words. He was not afraid that Zhou Yun would be angry with him in the future, because although he and Zhou Yun knew each other because of Zhou Xue, they had become good friends after a long time together, and he believed that Zhou Yun was not that kind of person.

　　What really concerned Li Yi was Li Changan's last words. If Zhou Xue really couldn't be saved, should Zhou Yun be allowed to see her for the last time?

　　Li Yi knew Zhou Yun. Even if there were more dangers, Zhou Yun would definitely come back. If he didn't inform him, although Li Yi believed that Zhou Yun would not take revenge on him, their friendship would probably be over.

　　Li Yi stayed in Zhou Xue's room for a whole day. Although he did not touch Zhou Xue due to rational restraint, Li Yi still stayed by Zhou Xue's side without eating or drinking.

　　It had been a long time since a doctor came, and Zhou Xue's condition was getting worse. After a deep and painful look at the woman on the bed, Li Yi bit his lips with a trace of blood, and finally picked up the pen.

　　Dear Friends:

　　Zhou Yun's sister Zhou Xue was attacked and poisoned by the Soul-Locking Fragrance. She will soon pass on this letter. Please tell Zhou Yun to return immediately to see Zhou Xue for the last time. This matter is extremely urgent. Please be sure to convey it as soon as possible.

　　Li Yi from Heyang pays his respects.

　　While writing, tears welled up in Li Yi's eyes.

　　He loved Zhou Xue deeply. Zhou Yun had passed the martial arts exam and took Zhou Xue away from the Qin family. Li Yi had been fantasizing about growing old with Zhou Xue. But he didn't expect such a sudden change. Looking at Zhou Xue lying on the bed, Li Yi felt as if his heart was being eaten by thousands of ants.

　　After writing a short letter, Li Yi sealed the envelope and wrote the words "Urgent" on it. He wiped his tears and stood up. He said to Li Qingquan who had been standing behind him, "Uncle Qing, send this letter to the address on this note immediately. Send it as soon as possible. Ask the post station to send the letter by hummingbird. It must be delivered within five hours!!"

　　"Got it!" Li Qingquan, who had been standing behind Li Yi, naturally knew what Li Yi had written, and also knew Li Yi's decision. After taking the envelope from Li Yi, Li Qingquan turned around and walked out of the room, while another warrior from the Li family also walked in at the same time.

　　These days, the Li family must have a strong warrior staying by Li Yi's side at all times to prevent Li Yi from contacting Zhou Xue.

　　Not caring about the warrior who came in, Li Yi watched Li Qingquan leave. He seemed to be completely deflated and fell softly into the chair.

　　In Heyang City, the Li family has demonstrated the power of a great family, and the delivery of the letter was quickly arranged. The Heyang City Post Station sent out its only two hummingbirds, carrying Li Yi's letter, directly to the capital.

　　At this time, the shadow that had completed the attack on Zhou Xue had also returned to Xiqing Town.

　　In the night, a shadow suddenly appeared in Zhao Guang's room like a ghost. There were only Zhao Guang and Han Long in the room.

　　"Is everything done?" Zhao Guang had been waiting for news since Shadow left. He felt a gust of wind in the room and knew that Shadow had returned. Zhao Guang was not panicked but asked slowly.

　　"Yes, Zhou Xue has been poisoned." Hidden in the black cloak, the shadow spoke slowly.

　　"Very good. Next we have to wait for Zhou Yun to show up. Closely monitor all the towns near the Black Dragon Mountains, especially the post stations in the towns. I believe that Li Yi and Zhou Yun still have to contact each other through the post stations." Zhao Guang said with a smile on his face.

　　"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, we are ready." Having heard the entire conversation between the two, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and Han Long spoke harshly.

　　Zhao Guang and others have already set up a tight net along the Heyang City, waiting for Zhou Yun to jump in. At this time, Zhou Yun can only wait for news in the power transmission tower.

　　"I kill! I kill! I kill!" On the second floor of the Power Transmission Tower, Zhou Yun was frantically hacking at the black-clad war puppet opposite him.

　　Ever since he felt that heartache, Zhou Yun's thoughts could no longer settle down. He had a strong feeling in his heart that something must have happened, but he couldn't go out rashly now.

　　He could only wait three days to go to the post station to see if there was any new letter. Such waiting made Zhou Yun feel almost crazy. He had no way to practice, and could only fight madly with the black-clothed war puppet.

　　After ten days of training in the ink-colored world, Zhou Yun has now reached the peak of bone training. His body strength and intensity are much higher than before, but he just can't get past the bone training stage and reach the tendon training stage. Zhou Yun knows that this is all because he can't calm down.

　　After reaching the bone training stage, Zhou Yun's strength was much stronger than before. He could use the speed sword and the phantom sword more freely and with greater power. Although he was still no match for the war puppet, he no longer had the strength to fight back.

　　Relying on instinct, Zhou Yun attacked the war puppet frantically, not caring at all about the knife wounds accumulated on his body.

　　Since that small black patch appeared, Zhou Yun was not afraid of minor wounds at all. The bleeding from these wounds would stop quickly and the wounds would heal quickly. As long as he rested for a while, it would have no effect on Zhou Yun.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun's heart was filled with resentment, and he no longer cared about those wounds.

　　There was a hint of blood red in his eyes, and Zhou Yun's heart was filled with anger. Zhou Yun did not want to be an enemy to anyone, he just wanted to get out of the Qin family through his own efforts, so that his sister could find a good husband, and he could have a better ending with Jun Yao.

　　But even if Zhou Yun just thought so, there were countless people who wanted to stop him. Moreover, these people pressed forward step by step, wanting to put him and Zhou Xue to death.

　　While his thoughts were racing in his mind, Zhou Yun's attack speed did not slow down at all. That violent momentum even suppressed the war puppet into a corner.

　　"Go to hell!" Zhou Yun found an opportunity and used all his strength to chop the sword in the hand of the war puppet with the Tianyan steel knife in his hand.

　　bump!

　　After a violent collision, the war puppet was forced to retreat seven or eight steps by the huge force of Zhou Yun's sword.

　　After this slash, Zhou Yun's emotions were almost vented, and his body felt weak. He put away his sword and withdrew from the red area that would be attacked by the war puppet, without giving the war puppet any chance to fight back.

　　After adjusting his breathing, Zhou Yun left the second floor of the Power Transmission Tower and returned to the first floor.

　　Zhou Yun didn't care about the messy knife wounds on his body. After the battle with the war puppet, Zhou Yun's mood has calmed down a lot. Although the expression on his face is not so crazy, Zhou Yun's eyes are unprecedentedly cold.

　　"It only takes one day. As long as I calm down and practice, I will definitely be able to break through to the tendon training level. Then I will go directly to Xiqing Town to confirm the news. If I find out that anyone dares to hurt Jun Yao and my sister, I will make him live a life worse than death." Zhou Yun clenched his fists and spoke word by word.

　　Chapter 63: Sound Transmission Tower

　　The first-class express mail sent by Li Yi arrived in the capital on time in just five hours. The capital of the Tianyuan Dynasty was located in the center of the dynasty, with Tianhuang Mountain at its back and a majestic aura. In front of it was the Longyuan River flowing directly into the East China Sea. It was the best located and most magnificent place in the entire Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　The capital of the Tianyuan Dynasty was officially called Shangjing, also known as Tiancheng, because the foundation of the entire Shangjing City was more than 20 meters higher than the open space outside, as if it was built in the sky. Another meaning of Tiancheng is the city of the emperor, referring to the capital of the dynasty.

　　Although Shangjing has experienced many wars, it still stands firm. The most distinctive feature of Shangjing is its city wall. From the outside, the wall is 35 meters high, almost reaching the sky, but the people in the city still have no sense of obstruction when looking at the sky outside. It is because the foundation of the city has been filled up more than 20 meters, which makes the incredibly magnificent Shangjing City also have a good view of the city.

　　The imperial city is even higher than the city wall, and carries a sense of royal majesty that encompasses the world.

　　It was late at night and there was still more than an hour before dawn, but the entire Shangjing City had already quietly become busy. Many servants began to clean the streets and deliver fresh water and vegetables to the royal homes. These were tasks that the poor families had to start early.

　　Amidst this hustle and bustle, there is a unique atmosphere on a high tower in the southwest corner of Shangjing City.

　　The tower is more than 30 meters high and has 17 floors. Lanterns are hung on the tower. The light is not very strong, but it is enough to indicate the direction.

　　In the darkness, gray shadows continued to gather towards the tower from all directions.

　　Upon closer inspection, I discovered that they were all hummingbirds or carrier pigeons. This tall tower was one of the most famous buildings in Shangjing City, the Sound Transmission Tower!

　　Although it is called the Voice Transmission Center, it is actually the place where letters are received and sent in the entire Shangjing.

　　As the core of the Tianyuan Dynasty, Shangjing City has always been the most up-to-date with news. The royal family, princes and some nobles, as well as important departments and merchants in the capital, have an astronomical amount of news circulating throughout Shangjing every day, and this sound transmission tower naturally has a constant flow of information.

　　This sound transmission tower was built with great care. The most magnificent top floor was exclusively for the emperor. Direct reports from generals, governors, grain ministers, etc. from all over the country to the emperor would be directly received on the seventeenth floor of the sound transmission tower.

　　The sixteenth floor is where the agency directly serving the emperor receives news from Longyuan.

　　Next are the inner palace royal relatives and the harem occupying fifteen floors. The princes occupy fourteen floors, the kings of other surnames occupy thirteen floors, and the dukes, marquises, earls, and noble families are arranged in descending order. Until the last few floors, there are some ordinary people who serve the entire Shangjing.

　　All letters from other places entering the capital would be transferred once in the four sound transmission towers in the suburbs, which was also to avoid leaking the situation of some nobles in the capital. Just like, although the address left by Lin Junyao was clear, even if Li Yi sent a hundred letters, he would not know that Lin Junyao's family was a duke.

　　The letters are organized in the transmission tower and delivered according to the address. Therefore, the hummingbird that forwards the letters will directly deliver Li Yi's letter to the twelfth floor of the transmission tower in the capital.

　　Although it was early in the morning, the sound transmission tower received a lot of information. Among the many hummingbirds and carrier pigeons, an ordinary hummingbird silently flew into the twelfth floor.

　　The officer who received the letter from the Hummingbird took a look at the address, then turned around and handed the letter to a messenger behind him. "First-class express, send it to Sanjiang Tower immediately."

　　"Yes!" The officer responded politely and went down the tower directly. He rode on the fast horse that had been prepared outside the tower and headed directly to Sanjiang Tower.

　　The Sanjiang Tower is a mail receiving address of the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan. It has long been registered as a confidential item in the post station system of the Tianyuan Dynasty and is known only to a few people. People who are not aware of it would think that it is just an ordinary restaurant and has nothing to do with the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan.

　　Holding the letter sent by Li Yi, the officer rode on his horse at full speed and delivered the letter to Sanjiang Tower in the time it took to stick of incense.

　　"Young man inside, there is a letter from Sanjiang Tower. Please send it urgently!" Sanjiang Tower is the place where the Duke receives letters, so it is naturally extraordinary. Although it is early in the morning, there are still people on duty.

　　As soon as the officer finished speaking, a servant ran out and took the letter.

　　After reading the words "Urgent" on the letter, the servant's face changed immediately and he said to the officer, "I'll pass it on to the master immediately!"

　　"Okay, thank you." Waving to the boy, the officer immediately rode away.

　　Although Sanjiang Tower is the address for receiving letters from the Duke's Mansion, it is obviously impossible for the letters from the Duke's Mansion to only go through Sanjiang Tower. In fact, Sanjiang Tower is dedicated to serving Lin Junyao alone.

　　Seeing the words "Urgent" written on the letter, the people in Sanjiang Tower naturally did not dare to delay. Regardless of the fact that it was early in the morning, they directly delivered the letter to the Duke's Mansion.

　　After half an hour of circulation, the letter was delivered to Hu Cheng, the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion.

　　The letter said it was extremely urgent. Even though it was still dark, Butler Hu did not dare to delay and rushed to Lanxinyuan where Lin Junyao lived with the letter.

　　The status of the housekeeper in the Duke's mansion is also very high. Along the way, Butler Hu had no obstructions and came directly to the inner courtyard gate of Lanxinyuan.

　　The inner courtyard of Lanxinyuan is the core area of ​​the entire courtyard. It is where Lin Junyao lives. Even though Hu Cheng is the housekeeper, he cannot enter here easily.

　　As he approached the entrance to the inner courtyard, Hu Cheng was stopped by someone.

　　"Butler Hu, there is still more than an hour before dawn. Why are you running to the young lady's place instead of taking a rest?" Before Hu Cheng could even feel anything, an old man in green clothes who looked to be in his fifties stood in front of him.

　　This person is none other than Lin Junyao's bodyguard Lan Cang, who is directly responsible for Lin Junyao's safety. Lan Cang was one of the personal guards of Pingnan Duke Lin Hailong in his early years. He has a very high level of cultivation. Although he does not have any nominal position in the Duke's Mansion, his status cannot be underestimated.

　　Seeing Lan Cang, Hu Cheng immediately stopped and handed the letter to him with both hands, "Mr. Lan, this is a letter from Heyang. It has just been delivered. It says on the envelope that it is extremely urgent. I dare not delay, so I sent it here. As for whether to wake up the young lady, please let Mr. Lan decide. Please keep the letter, I will take my leave first."

　　The letter was obviously very urgent, but disturbing Lin Junyao's rest in the Duke's Mansion was also a serious offense. Hu Cheng naturally did not dare to take this responsibility. He sent the letter to Lan Cang and got rid of the hot potato. Hu Cheng immediately said goodbye and went back.

　　Ignoring Hu Cheng, Lan Cang looked at the four words "urgent" written on the letter and frowned slightly. Lan Cang's cultivation had reached the peak of internal organ training and blood exchange, and he was only one step away from reaching the realm of martial saint. With this level of cultivation, his realm was already different from that of ordinary people.

　　With just one glance, Lan Cang could sense the haste with which these four words were written on the envelope.

　　Ever since Lin Junyao encountered danger four years ago, Lan Cang has been ordered to protect Lin Junyao, and nothing has gone wrong over the years.

　　Having followed Lin Junyao for four years, he had been to Heyang City many times and knew about the relationship between Lin Junyao and Zhou Yun. Although the handwriting on the letter was not written by Zhou Yun himself, the person who knew the address must be someone very close to Zhou Yun.

　　Naturally knowing what position Zhou Yun held in Lin Junyao's heart, Lan Cang thought for a moment and decided to wake Lin Junyao up.

　　The inner courtyard of Lanxin Garden was extremely quiet, with Lin Junyao the only one living there, and there weren't even any servants. Before walking to the main house, Lan Cang gently knocked on the door.

　　Bang…bang…

　　Two soft sounds, containing a trace of internal strength, directly passed through the hall of the house and entered the bedroom in the back hall. The just right force just woke Lin Junyao up from her sleep.

　　"Miss, there's a letter from Heyang, sent urgently, and it's written on the envelope that it's extremely urgent. Do you want to read it now?" Lin Junyao had just woken up when Lan Cang's voice came over.

　　Lin Junyao was a little dazed and confused when she was woken up from her sleep, but when she heard the word Heyang, her nerves suddenly tensed up and her sleepiness disappeared immediately.

　　"Okay, I'll get up now." Lin Junyao sat up from the bed, lit the bedside lamp in the moonlight, and spoke to the outside of the room.

　　Although it was the middle of the night, Lin Junyao quickly put on her clothes and did not walk out of the bedroom until she looked decent enough.

　　At this time, Lan Cang was already waiting in the front hall and had turned on the lights.

　　"Mr. Lan, where is the letter?" Since the letter came from Heyang, it must be related to Zhou Yun. Lin Junyao was very anxious at the moment and had a bad premonition.

　　Lan Cang bowed respectfully to Lin Junyao and handed over the letter.

　　After taking the letter, Lin Junyao's heart immediately sank when she saw the hastily written words "Urgent" on it.

　　After opening the envelope and taking out the letter inside, Lin Junyao's face changed drastically after a quick glance!

　　"Something happened to Sister Zhou Xue!"

　　The content of the letter was very simple, expressing only one meaning: Zhou Yun's sister Zhou Xue had been poisoned by the soul-locking incense and would soon die, so Zhou Yun was asked to return as soon as possible to see Zhou Xue for the last time.

　　Having known Zhou Yun for four years, Lin Junyao knew everything about Zhou Yun. Although she had never met Zhou Xue, through correspondence and chatting with Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao had become very familiar with Zhou Yun's sister.

　　Lin Junyao knew that one of Zhou Yun’s biggest dreams was to work hard to pass the military examination, to become successful, and to allow his sister to marry her lover and live a happy life.

　　And now, Zhou Xue was poisoned and would not live long! If Zhou Yun knew this news, the pain he would feel would be enormous!

　　"Mr. Lan, do you know about the poison called Soul-Locking Incense? Is there really no antidote for this poison?" Zhou Xue is Zhou Yun's sister, which means she is her sister. Lin Junyao wanted to try her best to cure Zhou Xue at the first moment.

　　Seeing the change in Lin Junyao's expression, although it was not convenient for Lan Cang to directly read the contents of the letter, he was also very worried.

　　Now, upon hearing the three words "Soul-Locking Incense", Lan Cang's expression suddenly became stiff.

　　Chapter 64: Enter muscle training!

　　"Miss, this soul-locking incense comes from the Persian Empire. It is a poison that targets the mind and cannot be cured by ordinary methods. If you are poisoned by it, I am afraid you can only give up." Shaking his head, Lan Cang spoke slowly. In fact, he still had half a sentence to say. If the poisoned person was a noble royal relative, there might be a chance of saving him, but if it was Zhou Yun, or someone around him, it would really not be worth paying such a high price.

　　As soon as Lan Cang finished speaking, Lin Junyao's face immediately showed a trace of panic, but she still tried to calm herself down.

　　"Mr. Lan, please ask my brother to come over and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him." Lin Junyao did not know much about martial arts cultivation, including the strength of various poisons, so now he could only rely on his brother.

　　Although Lin Junyao had a little resentment towards her brother because of Zhou Yun's matter, at the critical moment, Lin Juntian was still the person she could rely on the most.

　　"Miss, please wait a moment. I'll be there right away." Nodding respectfully, Lao Cang turned around and walked out.

　　Although it was still early in the morning, Lin Juntian rushed over quickly. In his heart, his sister Lin Junyao was the most precious treasure, and he would treat Lin Junyao's affairs as the most important things.

　　He hurried into Lanxinyuan, and as soon as he entered Lin Junyao's room, Lin Juntian immediately saw his sister pacing back and forth in the room with a frown on her face.

　　"Jun Yao, what's wrong?" Born in a duke's family, Lin Jun Yao has always been very polite. Calling him over at such an inappropriate time must be something important.

　　"Brother, look at this. Tell me, is there really no way to save the soul-locking incense?" Seeing her brother, Lin Junyao immediately ran up to him like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

　　Hearing the words "Soul-Locking Incense", Lin Juntian's expression suddenly changed. Then, he immediately saw the contents of the simple letter.

　　As soon as he saw the contents of the letter, Lin Juntian immediately fell into deep thought. As the son of a duke, and having served in the court at an early age, he had a much deeper understanding of the dark side of the dynasty than Lin Junyao. After a little thought, Lin Juntian immediately figured out what was going on.

　　After Zhou Yun finished the martial arts examination in Heyang City, he went out to gain experience directly. On the one hand, this experience was definitely to improve his cultivation, and on the other hand, it was definitely to avoid the covetousness and assassination of many Heyang City nobles.

　　With Zhou Yun's intelligence, as long as he wants to hide and not be found by others, he can do it.

　　Since the nobles of Heyang City cannot find Zhou Yun, and are worried about the threat posed by Zhou Yun, and also want to obtain the treasures on Zhou Yun's body, they must force Zhou Yun to show up. In this case, the best option is to attack the people around Zhou Yun.

　　What is the Soul-Locking Incense? To have such a thing in hand, and to be able to break into the Li family in Heyang City to commit crimes, this person's power must be extraordinary. It would be easy for him to kill Zhou Xue, but he didn't do so, but chose to poison Zhou Xue. Isn't this obvious?

　　"Brother, tell me, is there any possibility of saving him with the Soul-Locking Incense? Zhou Yun's sister is very important to him. If something happens to his sister, Zhou Yun will definitely not be happy. I must help him." Seeing that Lin Juntian remained silent, Lin Junyao immediately became anxious.

　　After thinking for a while, and looking at the anxious Lin Junyao beside him, Lin Juntian finally made a decision. "I will send a letter now, asking Xue Yin to come back, and then I will go to Heyang with her. If Xue Yin can't save Zhou Yun's sister, then there is really no other way."

　　Eyes lit up instantly, Lin Junyao happily grabbed her brother's arm and said happily, "Great, with Sister Xueyin here, no poison will be a problem! I'll send a letter to Zhou Yun now."

　　Just when she wanted to leave, Lin Junyao found that her arm was grabbed by someone, "Brother, what's wrong?"

　　"Jun Yao, don't be anxious. If you think about it carefully, you will know why the attacker didn't kill Zhou Xue directly, but wanted to poison her. It is inappropriate to let Zhou Yun show up now." Looking at his sister, Lin Juntian spoke solemnly.

　　Born in a duke's family, Lin Junyao is also very smart. She just didn't think about so many dark things before, but as long as she is willing to think about it, she can still see these things clearly.

　　Knowing that what her brother said made sense, Lin Junyao nodded silently and spoke, "Brother, this matter is very serious after all, and it would be unreasonable not to inform Zhou Yun. How about this, I will ask Elder Lan to go to Xiqing Town and inform him in person. Zhou Yun should be there for some time. If someone really has set up a trap there, Zhou Yun will not be in any danger with Elder Lan here."

　　Seeing that his sister was wholeheartedly thinking about Zhou Yun and even sending out her personal guard, Lin Juntian could only shake his head helplessly.

　　However, he did not object to this matter. Lin Juntian wanted to test Zhou Yun, but such a test had to have a limit. Even if Zhou Yun was strong, Lin Juntian did not think that he could deal with a warrior who had the Soul Locking Incense in his hand and could come and go freely in the Li Mansion of the great family.

　　And my younger sister has been staying in the house, so it is not a big problem for Master Lan to go out for a few days.

　　"Okay, let Master Lan go. I also want to see who is so persistent in targeting a poor student." Lin Juntian said slowly, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

　　Li Yi's letter was delivered to the capital and immediately delivered to Lin Junyao. The Lin family quickly demonstrated the powerful strength of a duke's family, and various things began to proceed in an orderly manner.

　　Lin Juntian personally wrote a letter to his fiancée Fang Xueying, asking her to come back from the northern front to treat Zhou Xue.

　　Fang Xueying is the daughter of General Fang Jing of the Tianyuan Dynasty. She has been fond of studying medicine since she was a child. At the age of seventeen, she had already earned the reputation of being the best doctor in the capital. Now she follows her father Fang Jing in the Northern Army of the imperial court, using her medical skills to treat injured soldiers of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　It was just the beginning of spring, and the winter snow in the north had not melted yet. It was not a good time to start a war for either the Hulun Dynasty or the Tianyuan Dynasty. So the war was not too intense, and Fang Xueyin could come back to treat Zhou Yun's sister.

　　On the other hand, Lin Junyao had quickly written a letter and did not send it from the post station. Instead, she asked Lan Cang to take it with him and go to the Black Dragon Mountains to give it to Zhou Yun.

　　With Lan Cang's protection, I believe Zhou Yun will be fine.

　　After doing all this, Lin Junyao's heart could finally settle down.

　　Lin Junyao's arrangements have been very thoughtful. She has taken Zhou Yun's mood into consideration to the greatest extent possible and can also ensure Zhou Yun's safety. As for Zhou Xue who was poisoned, Lin Junyao has also done her best.

　　I believe that under such an arrangement, Zhou Yun will be fine. However, there is one thing that Lin Junyao did not expect, that is, Zhou Yun had already sensed something was happening as soon as Zhou Xue got into trouble.

　　Now Zhou Yun has no way to continue waiting in the Power Transmission Tower!

　　In the power transmission tower, Zhou Yun was standing quietly at the center of the first floor. Although he did not make any movements, the aura he exuded was extremely fierce. The sword had been put away, and now Zhou Yun was fighting with his bare hands.

　　As he stood there for longer and longer periods of time, a faint blue light began to flash on Zhou Yun's body. Looking closely, one could see that it was actually a hint of lightning!

　　This technique is exactly the muscle training secret that Zhou Yun got from the treasure box of General Shenwei, the All-Seeing Thunder Fist!

　　The last time, Zhou Yun had practiced in that inky space for more than ten days. Although his practice was interrupted in the end, the effect of that practice was still very good, pushing Zhou Yun's practice to the peak level of bone training. Now, Zhou Yun was going to rely on this set of Wanxiang Benlei Fist to impact the realm of tendon training.

　　To practice the Myriad Thunder Fist, one must first stand on the Myriad Thunder Post, and through body posture and coordinated breathing, create the momentum of a giant running wild in the world of thunder and lightning. In theory, only when the Myriad Thunder Fist reaches the fourth level and the warrior reaches the stage of training the internal organs and exchanging blood, will lightning appear on the body.

　　But Zhou Yun is different. With that mysterious little piece, Zhou Yun's power is no longer comparable to that of ordinary people. Not only in strength, but also in the speed of cultivation, the speed of learning martial arts, and the adaptability to martial arts, Zhou Yun has far surpassed ordinary warriors.

　　Ziz...ziz...

　　As Zhou Yun stood on the Universal Thunder Pile for longer and longer, the blue arc light on his body became more and more obvious, and his body had suppressed its strength to a very high level.

　　Finally, as Zhou Yun opened his eyes, a bright blue light flashed from his pupils. At the same time, Zhou Yun's body finally began to move.

　　"Thunder Finger!" Zhou Yun silently circulated the true energy in his body according to the luck method in the Myriad Things Thunder Fist. He moved the true energy and concentrated it on his right hand. At the same time, he pointed his thumb forward fiercely. Suddenly, accompanied by a 'click' sound, a clear blue light emerged at the same time.

　　Although Zhou Yun's cultivation level was not high enough to train his internal organs and replace his blood, and his true energy could not leave his body, the power of the blue light exploding from his fingertips was still extremely terrifying!

　　"Nine Steps of Thunder Cloud!"

　　"Thunder strike!"

　　"The mammoth turns!"

　　Zhou Yun practiced the moves of the Myriad Things Thunder Fist one by one. His bones had already reached the peak and no longer made any sound. Now when Zhou Yun practiced, all he could hear were slight popping sounds, like a rubber band being torn.

　　This is exactly the sign that a warrior is about to break through to the tendon training level.

　　The muscle training stage, as the name suggests, is to train the warrior's muscles to the strongest state, whether it is explosive power, stretching force, or endurance, all of which reach a new level.

　　The moves in the muscle training stage are generally large-scale opening and closing, and even include many movements that ordinary people cannot do at all. These difficult movements are exactly what martial artists need to hone their muscles.

　　During this kind of training, Zhou Yun's breath became more and more long-lasting. With the sound of "booming" from his body, Zhou Yun felt that his body was gradually entering a new state.

　　Zhou Yun performed this set of Wanxiang Benlei Fist ten times in a row and finally stopped.

　　In a day, Zhou Yun suppressed the anxiety and bitterness in his heart, and finally improved his cultivation to the level of tendon training.

　　As he slowly finished his training, a fierce look flashed in Zhou Yun's eyes.

　　"It's time to go out and take a look. If I find out that someone hurt Jun Yao and my sister, no matter who it is, I will make you regret coming into this world."

　　Chapter 65: The Devil

　　Zhou Yun's cultivation had already broken through the muscle training stage, and he could no longer stay here. Following the waterway under the tower, he left the tower and returned to the ground.

　　Looking up, the white mist above the distant Black Dragon Mountains had dissipated at this moment. Feeling again, Zhou Yun discovered that the dense forests outside the entire Black Dragon Mountains had returned to normal, and there was no longer that dangerous and weird feeling.

　　Feeling that the surrounding atmosphere had become the same as when he first entered the Black Dragon Mountains, Zhou Yun knew that the time for the Shadow Blade Sect's secret treasure to be born had passed and the Black Dragon Mountains had returned to normal.

　　Since there is no danger outside the Black Dragon Mountains, Zhou Yun no longer has to worry about sneak attacks from ferocious beasts and can travel on his journey with peace of mind.

　　The most urgent task now is to return to the towns along the Black Dragon Mountains to check if there is any letter for him.

　　After adjusting his breathing to a smooth one, Zhou Yun began to move quickly through the dense forest outside the Black Dragon Mountains. It was now very late at night. Looking at the sky, Zhou Yun silently estimated the time in his heart. According to his speed, he should be able to reach Xiqing Town at midnight.

　　While it's dark, you can sneak directly into the post station in Xiqing Town and secretly check if there are any letters for you.

　　Although he had killed the Wanshengmen disciples last time, Zhou Yun did not see any warriors from the Han family, and he didn't know if those people were still waiting here, so he had to be careful in everything.

　　Having made the decision in his mind, Zhou Yun began to rush towards Xiqing Town at a constant speed.

　　While walking, suddenly, a strange movement in the grass attracted Zhou Yun's attention.

　　"Who!" Zhou Yun suddenly shouted angrily at the bushes in front of him on the right, bent his legs, spread his arms, and pounced forward like a falcon lowering its flying altitude.

　　Since entering the realm of tendon training, Zhou Yun's perception of the environment has reached a new level. He can even feel the changes in the qi and blood around him. Just now, Zhou Yun felt the sudden changes in the qi and blood in the bushes at the far end, and then he judged that there was someone hiding there.

　　The person hiding in the bushes was none other than a warrior from the Xu family who had followed Zhao Guang and the others to Xiqing Town. He had reached the peak of bone training level and was sent to monitor the area and look for Zhou Yun's movements.

　　After staying here for more than ten days without finding any trace of Zhou Yun, the Xu family warrior was already a little discouraged. It was already late at night and there shouldn't be any new discoveries. The Xu family warrior was just about to lie down in the camouflaged bushes to rest, but he didn't expect to see Zhou Yun coming out from the depths of the dense forest.

　　The moment he saw Zhou Yun, the Xu family warrior was excited, and his blood was surging. Zhou Yun actually noticed this little change in his blood. Feeling the momentum of Zhou Yun's attack, the Xu family warrior was immediately frightened.

　　He had also seen Zhou Yun's performance in the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination. At that time, Zhou Yun was just a weak boy who had just entered the bone training stage, but now, in more than a month, Zhou Yun has grown to this level!

　　The momentum of the attack made him feel irresistible!

　　In just a moment, the Xu family warrior realized in his heart that he was definitely no match for Zhou Yun.

　　Originally, he thought that the action of the four noble families in Heyang City and the second son of the Zhao family in the provincial capital to kill Zhou Yun was a bit of an exaggeration. But now it seems that all their preparations were not excessive!

　　Knowing that he was in a very dangerous situation, the Xu family warrior suddenly had an idea and immediately came up with a way to deal with it.

　　"Young man, what's wrong?" Pretending to be panicked, the Xu family warrior stood up from the bushes, spoke to Zhou Yun, and made a gesture to retreat, as if he was very afraid of Zhou Yun.

　　Seeing someone coming out, Zhou Yun immediately stopped his actions, but his defensive posture remained unchanged. As long as the warrior in front of him made the slightest movement, Zhou Yun would pounce on him immediately.

　　"You were sent by the Han family, right? You want to find me here?" Zhou Yun said slowly, looking at the warrior coldly.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the warrior was secretly delighted. It seemed that Zhou Yun didn't know that the people who came here to arrest him were much stronger than before. This might be an opportunity that could be used. As long as he could deceive Zhou Yun, he believed that he would definitely fall into the trap set by his side.

　　"Han family? What Han family?" The warrior said with a confused look on his face, "I am just an ordinary adventurer. I wanted to hunt some beasts outside the Black Dragon Mountains to supplement my family income. It was just getting dark, and I was going to rest in the bushes. But I didn't expect you to rush over and scare me."

　　Watching the warrior's clumsy performance, Zhou Yun sneered in his heart. The warrior in front of him had obviously reached the peak of bone training, which was really not weak. In addition, he was in his thirties. Although he looked scared, he could not hide his usual fierceness.

　　He was obviously pretending, and looking at the way he was pretending, it was obvious that he was really afraid of me, otherwise, why didn't he just do it to me directly?

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun didn't waste any more words. With a wave of his hand, the Tianyan steel knife in the space ring appeared in Zhou Yun's hand.

　　"Since you are not honest, then die!" Zhou Yun spat out a few words coldly, and immediately rushed forward and pounced on the warrior. Right from the start, he used the Shadow Knife Sect's unique phantom sword skill. The set of attacks was both illusory and real, covering the warrior from all directions.

　　After breaking through to the tendon training realm, the power of Zhou Yun's secret techniques of the Shadow Knife Sect became much greater than before. As soon as he started attacking, there was a feeling that he was unstoppable!

　　Seeing Zhou Yun waving his hand to take the knife, it was obvious that he had a space ring. A gleam of greed immediately flashed in the eyes of the Xu family warrior.

　　But as soon as the fight started, all the inappropriate thoughts in his mind disappeared. Zhou Yun's strength was even stronger than what he had just seen.

　　Before he could even draw his sword, the Xu family warrior had already been stabbed three times. Drawing out the sword only allowed him to block a few of Zhou Yun's attacks, but more knife marks still appeared on his body.

　　In just a blink of an eye, the Xu family warrior was defeated by Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun's purpose was not to kill this person, but to understand the current situation. There were people lying in ambush here, which meant that there were still people in Xiqing Town who were preparing to harm him, so Zhou Yun had to fight a prepared battle.

　　In just a brief fight, the Xu family warrior was stabbed more than ten times, his tendons and veins were cut, and he had lost the ability to resist.

　　"Tell me, how many of you are left now and where are you?" Zhou Yun asked indifferently while squatting in front of the warrior.

　　It was not until this time that the Xu family warrior realized that his previous performance had not fooled Zhou Yun at all.

　　Now, he has fallen into Zhou Yun's hands, and it is impossible for him to save his life. Thinking of this, the expression of the Xu family warrior suddenly became dispirited.

　　"Zhou Yun, I really didn't expect you to grow so fast. Now I'm in your hands. Even if I say everything, I can't survive. Don't waste your time. Just kill me with one knife!" Although the pain caused by the wounds on his body was still bearable, his tendons and veins were cut off, and his life was over. The Xu family warrior was also completely desperate.

　　After hearing what the Xu family warrior said, Zhou Yun was not angry at all. Instead, he started laughing.

　　These people were still telling him that it was a waste of time and pretending to be strong in front of him, but they never thought that all this was caused by themselves.

　　After two days of torture in the Power Transmission Tower, Zhou Yun's heart had already become extremely cold, and he would never be merciful again.

　　The Tianyan steel knife in his hand was gently raised, and a stroke was made on the warrior's face. Zhou Yun smiled like a devil and said, "Yes, you can die, but there are many ways to die."

　　"You can die comfortably, without any pain." As he spoke, Zhou Yun pointed the steel knife in his hand at the warrior's neck, making a rapid chopping gesture.

　　“You can also endure the pain and die slowly.” The steel knife in his hand slid casually on the warrior's body. The cold feeling on the blade also brought great pressure. Looking at the devil-like Zhou Yun, the warrior's body finally trembled.

　　"What exactly do you want?" Originally they had already prepared for death and were fearless, but after Zhou Yun said this, the Xu family warrior became nervous again.

　　With lightning speed, Zhou Yun smashed all the warrior's teeth with one punch, preventing him from biting his tongue to commit suicide. Then he began to speak to himself, "I heard that the Queen Xi of the previous dynasty once came up with a very unique way to punish other concubines in order to deal with the powerful enemies in the palace. I think that method is very creative."

　　“Just think about it, digging out a person’s eyes, cutting off their nose, cutting off their ears, chopping off their hands and feet, and then soaking them in a small jar to prevent them from dying. What a painful experience that would be!” Zhou Yun smiled as his eyes slowly swept over the warrior’s body.

　　"Zhou Yun, kill me, kill me!" At this moment, the Xu family warrior had already turned pale with fear due to Zhou Yun's words, and his spirit was almost collapsing.

　　He had heard about Zhou Yun's cruelty before, but he never thought that Zhou Yun was such a person. He never expected that in just one month, Zhou Yun, who was still so upright in the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination, had turned into a demon!

　　Without answering, Zhou Yun took out a piece of rope from the package, untied the warrior's headband, and tied the warrior's hair with the rope.

　　After tying it up, Zhou Yun did not forget to pull it hard to make sure it was tied firmly. Zhou Yun just said, "I don't have a jar here, but I have a better way. That is to chop you into a stick, then strip you naked, tie your hair and hang you on a tree. Without the weight of your limbs, I believe your hair can support you. I heard that warriors' hair is tougher than that of ordinary people. Don't worry, I won't dig out your eyes. I want you to see how the warriors passing by will look at you."

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yun immediately raised the knife in his hand.

　　"No, I'll tell you everything!" The warrior had already been frightened by the scene Zhou Yun described and could hardly imagine what kind of pain it would be.

　　Now, he just wants to die quickly.

　　Chapter 66: The Princess in Red

　　Having achieved his goal, Zhou Yun stopped threatening the warrior. A hint of sarcasm appeared on his face. Zhou Yun said, "You Han family really have the time to spare. Just to find me, you can stay in the Black Dragon Mountains for such a long time. Why don't you do something else with this time to spare?"

　　"We are not from the Han family. This time, not many people from the Han family came." With a wry smile, the Xu family warrior had completely let go. Now he just wanted to say what he needed to say and then feel relieved.

　　After hearing what the warrior said, Zhou Yun's face also showed a trace of solemnity. If this person is not from the Han family, where else can he come from? "Where are you from? And you said that there are not many people from the Han family this time. Could it be that there are other forces coming together?"

　　Seeing Zhou Yun like this, the Xu family warriors' expressions became a little better, and they even seemed to be gloating.

　　"It's okay to tell you. In fact, only one warrior of the Han family survived the last time they hunted you down. Even the second son of the Han family, Han Hu, died in the Black Dragon Mountains. Han Long, the head of the Han family, brought out the news about you and called on the nobles of Heyang City to come and kill you. In addition to the Han family, the Xu family, the Chen family, and the Wang family also sent warriors. I am a warrior from the Xu family. However, the warriors sent by these families are not very strong. At most, they are only at the middle stage of tendon training. With your current cultivation level, it should not be difficult to deal with them."

　　Having become disheartened, the Xu family warrior no longer concealed anything. Instead, he unconsciously estimated Zhou Yun's situation. "Among the warriors who came to surround and kill you this time, the most powerful one is a congenital martial artist brought by Zhao Guang, the second young master of the Zhao family. I'm afraid you can't escape this time no matter what."

　　"Zhao Guang." After hearing the words of the Xu family warrior, Zhou Yun's eyes suddenly turned cold. Zhou Yun never expected that Zhao Guang was still staring at him and wanted to harm him.

　　And this time he actually brought a congenital martial artist. It seemed that Zhao Guang really wanted to kill him.

　　Could it be that just because of that little conflict in the Qin family, Zhao Guang wanted to kill someone?

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel angry. He even ignored the fact that the Xu family warrior said that all the people in the Han family were dead. The Black Dragon Mountain Range was extremely unstable during that period, and level 3 and 4 beasts often appeared. It was not surprising that all the people in the Han family died.

　　"Where are they now and what are their plans?" Zhou Yun's hand holding the sword was clenched tightly. His face was cold. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and spoke slowly.

　　"I don't know the plans of those big shots. I just know that they are all in Xiqing Town, and they have already instructed that the towns along the Black Dragon Mountains must be strictly blocked to find your whereabouts, especially the post stations." Although he had reached the peak of bone training, he still couldn't really get in touch with the key arrangements for the siege of Zhou Yun this time.

　　As for the poisoning and murder of Zhou Xue, he also didn't know about it. Only the leading warriors in the tendon training stage sent by each family knew the key plan.

　　Knowing that he couldn't get anything more out of this warrior, Zhou Yun also raised the steel knife in his hand.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's actions, the Xu family warrior knew that it was time to end it all. He had expected this result and was not panicked. The Han family warrior closed his eyes silently.

　　"Wait!" Just as Zhou Yun was about to swing his knife, a delicate shout suddenly came from a distance.

　　Along with the sound, a beautiful figure wearing fiery red leather armor rushed out from behind the dense forest in the distance.

　　Upon closer inspection, Zhou Yun discovered that it was just a girl of the same age as himself. Her hair was simply tied up, fluttering as she ran. Her eyes were bright, and her skin was healthy and rosy. She was flexible and graceful while running. It was obvious that she was a girl with good cultivation.

　　"You are such a dark person. This warrior has already told you the information you wanted, but you still wanted to kill someone. You are so vicious!" After a few jumps, the girl came to a place more than five meters behind Zhou Yun, pointing the long whip in her hand at Zhou Yun, and the girl spoke angrily.

　　The girl didn't know what happened between Zhou Yun and the Xu family warrior on the ground. She was just passing by. From a distance, she saw Zhou Yun talking to the warrior, but suddenly Zhou Yun wanted to kill him.

　　This is obviously an act of catching someone and forcing them to reveal information, and then silencing them after the information is given. Naturally, the girl in red cannot tolerate such behavior.

　　Behind the red-dressed girl, several other warriors also came out one after another. These warriors were obviously there to protect the girl. Not only were they powerful, but more importantly, they all had a noble aura. Their arrogant attitude had already emerged, and Zhou Yun could clearly feel it.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun saw this group of people, he knew in his heart that they were probably the young ladies of a wealthy family. They knew that there were unusual movements with the secret treasure of the Shadow Blade Sect near Xiqing Town, so they came here to look for the treasure. Now should be the time for them to finish the treasure hunt and prepare to return, but they didn't expect to meet him at this time and wanted to kill him, so they jumped out to stop them.

　　Looking up at the girl in red, Zhou Yun frowned impatiently. Zhou Yun still had a lot of things to do and had no time to explain anything to this unruly girl.

　　"I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about me, miss." With a cold response, before the red-dressed girl could react, Zhou Yun raised his sword and cut off the neck of the Xu family warrior.

　　Zhou Yun's knife was extremely heavy, and the Xu family warrior's head was almost chopped off. When the red-dressed girl appeared, the Xu family warrior had a glimmer of hope for survival. However, Zhou Yun didn't even give him a chance to beg for mercy, and killed him directly.

　　After dealing with the Xu family warrior, Zhou Yun stood up and wanted to leave.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun ignored her presence and killed people, the girl in red immediately became furious.

　　"You crazy bastard, how dare you disobey my orders and kill someone? I must teach you a lesson today!"

　　"Watch out for the whip!" With an angry shout, the girl in red jumped up directly. The whip in her hand seemed to have a spirit and flew out directly, heading towards Zhou Yun's throat.

　　Feeling the strong wind coming from behind, Zhou Yun frowned. These people were obviously here to look for the Shadow Blade Sect's secret treasure. Showing off the Shadow Blade Sect's swordsmanship here would likely cause some unnecessary trouble.

　　Facing this attack, Zhou Yun did not raise his sword to meet it. Instead, the true energy in his body began to circulate rapidly. Suddenly, the violent lightning strike in the Myriad Things Thunder Fist was silently activated by Zhou Yun, and traces of blue arcs of light began to shine on Zhou Yun's body.

　　After making preparations, Zhou Yun changed his fist into a palm and directly grabbed the girl's whip.

　　The girl was using a whip forged from soft steel. When it came into contact with Zhou Yun's palm, a little blue light exploded and a feeling of electric shock immediately spread along the whip. The girl couldn't help but feel a numbness all over her body.

　　Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Yun quickly withdrew and used the Qi-conducting Changxing method of the Qi-dynamic step. After a few flashes, he disappeared into the dense forest.

　　The Myriad Things Thunder Fist is a top-notch secret technique in the world. In addition, Zhou Yun's own cultivation is already very profound. Although only a little bit of lightning power was transmitted along the steel whip, it was enough to paralyze the girl.

　　"Uncle Zhuang, help me stop him, this madman is so abominable, I want to teach him a lesson!" The girl also had the cultivation of tendon training, but her actual combat ability was not as good as Zhou Yun's, so Zhou Yun caught the steel whip with one palm. Moreover, although Zhou Yun also had the cultivation of tendon training, in fact, Zhou Yun's strength had exceeded that of tendon training, so the girl naturally suffered a loss when they met.

　　After hearing what the red-dressed girl said, the middle-aged man who was the leader of the warriors behind her also came out. When Zhou Yun wanted to escape after attacking, the warriors behind the girl wanted to attack, but they were all stopped by the middle-aged man.

　　Walking up to the girl in red, Zhuang Xian gently patted her on the back, and the tingling electric shock feeling on the girl's body immediately disappeared.

　　“Princess, let’s forget it. I don’t think that young man is a bad guy, and the martial arts he just used seems to be General Shenwei’s All-Things Thunder Fist. What if he has any relationship with General Shenwei, it would be bad for us to offend him rashly.” Zhou Yun had a high level of cultivation, and even though he only delivered a simple palm strike, Zhuang Xian could still see through his martial arts.

　　When the girl heard the words "Great General Shenwei", a trace of surprise appeared on her face, but she stopped talking.

　　With a heavy snort, the girl signaled her warriors to bury the bodies on the ground, and she herself took the lead to walk out of the dense forest.

　　He never expected that the unruly girl with good cultivation was actually a princess. Zhou Yun didn't take this matter to heart at all. After breaking off contact, Zhou Yun ran outside.

　　Although he had learned from the Xu family warrior what force was attacking him this time, Zhou Yun still did not feel at ease. The four noble families in Heyang City acted together, with six or seven muscle-training warriors and one innate martial artist. Such strength was beyond Zhou Yun's estimation.

　　After all his calculations, Zhou Yun still didn't expect that Zhao Guang would bring a congenital martial artist to cause trouble for him.

　　But even in danger, Zhou Yun had to go to the post station to check his letters. Zhou Yun still vaguely remembered the sudden heart-wrenching feeling a few days ago. Zhou Yun had to find out what had happened, otherwise Zhou Yun would not be at ease no matter what.

　　After exiting the dense forest under the Black Dragon Mountains, Zhou Yun began to run quickly along the official road under the moonlight, heading directly to Xiqing Town.

　　Zhou Yun had already made a decision. After entering Xiqing Town, he would first sneak to the post station, eliminate the warriors ambushing near the post station, and then go in to check the letter. After receiving the news, he would leave immediately, so that he could avoid the innate martial artist brought by Zhao Guang.

　　By the time they realized what was happening, he might have already left without anyone noticing. With a plan in mind, Zhou Yun could not help but move faster.

　　However, Zhou Yun did not know that in order to surround and kill him, the plan made by Zhao Guang and others this time was far more meticulous than Zhou Yun had imagined. As soon as Zhou Yun arrived at the outskirts of Xiqing Town, Zhao Guang and others had already sensed some different auras.

　　Chapter 67: Terrible Breath

　　In Xiqing Town, Zhao Guang was sitting in his room bored and waiting for news. Zhou Xue had been poisoned for three days. Logically, Zhou Yun should have received the news by now, but until now the people he brought had not reported any news about Zhou Yun. Zhao Guang was naturally a little annoyed.

　　Could it be that Zhou Yun had no contact with his family at all? If so, then Zhou Xue's death was in vain?

　　Thinking of this, Zhao Guang frowned even more tightly. Although he was a descendant of a great family, there was no shortage of beautiful women around him, but Zhou Xue's temperament made Zhao Guang feel itchy. He originally wanted to make a plan to take Zhou Xue into his house as a concubine, but now it was obviously impossible. People are about to die, what else can you expect?

　　Just when Zhao Guang was getting annoyed, the door of the room was pushed open somewhat rashly, and Han Long ran in with a happy look on his face.

　　After the previous operation to encircle and kill Zhou Yun, the Han family suffered extremely heavy losses. The second son of the Han family, Han Hu, died, and in addition to Han Qian who was previously crippled by Zhou Yun, it can be said that Han Long is now the person who hates Zhou Yun the most.

　　This time he was the only noble patriarch who followed the large army to Xiqing Town, so all the trivial affairs here were naturally managed by Han Long.

　　Having learned from the previous lesson, Han Long made careful arrangements this time in order to keep track of Zhou Yun's latest movements at any time and prevent Zhou Yun from taking advantage of any opportunity. One of them was that all the people outside must contact the large force in Xiqing Town once every hour.

　　Although this arrangement would be a bit laborious, it could allow information to be exchanged at the fastest speed. If Zhou Yun suddenly appeared and any of the warriors monitoring Zhou Yun encountered an accident, Han Long and others could also react quickly.

　　"Master Han, what's wrong? Why are you so rash?" Seeing Han Long coming in so rashly, although Zhao Guang knew that he might have something important to report, he was still a little dissatisfied.

　　Without paying any attention to Zhao Guang's dissatisfied tone, Han Long quickly stepped forward and reported, "Second Master, there is a change. We have been receiving information for half an hour, but Xu Zhong, the Xu family warrior who is responsible for monitoring the front of Xiqing Town, has still not sent back any information."

　　"The direction of the Black Dragon Mountains facing Xiqing Town?" Zhao Guang's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Han Long's words.

　　"Yes, it's there. The last time our people came here, they found Zhou Yun in that area." Han Long spoke quickly with a look of joy on his face.

　　In order to surround and kill Zhou Yun, eliminate future troubles, and take revenge at the same time, Han Long, this rough man, put a lot of effort into this matter. He had a premonition before that Zhou Yun was definitely not wandering around in the Black Dragon Mountains, but stayed in some secret place, making it impossible for them to find him.

　　The last time Zhou Yun was spotted, he suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the Black Dragon Mountains right in front of Xiqing Town. And this time, an accident happened to the warrior who was monitoring the movements in that area. This is very telling.

　　Zhou Yun’s hiding place is most likely there!

　　"Shadow!" Having figured out the whole story, Zhao Guang immediately spoke to the person behind him.

　　"Well, I'll set off now. If Zhou Yun doesn't come to Xiqing Town, he will most likely go to Pingliang. I'll see if I can intercept him. The rest of you will stay here to protect the young master. If Zhou Yun appears in Xiqing Town, there are also seven or eight muscle-training warriors here. You guys try to delay him and then contact me quickly." Knowing Zhao Guang's thoughts, Shadow spoke immediately.

　　Zhao Guang was also very satisfied with the arrangements made by Shadow. He nodded and said, "Okay, you go, Patriarch Han. Others should also pay attention and pay close attention to all changes in Xiqing Town, especially the post station."

　　"Yes!" With a flush of excitement on his face, Han Long responded loudly.

　　Shadow didn't say a word and just left the room.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun had quietly sneaked into Xiqing Town. As soon as he entered Xiqing Town, Zhou Yun immediately felt an extremely dangerous aura. Since entering the tendon training realm, Zhou Yun's senses have become more sensitive than before.

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun immediately felt that danger was approaching!

　　Without any hesitation, Zhou Yun dodged and hid in a cowshed on the street. He lay face down in a trough in the cowshed. Zhou Yun dived directly into the water, restrained all his breath, and did not move!

　　The next moment, a figure immediately passed by the path Zhou Yun had just walked.

　　It was a figure covered in a black cloak, so light that it seemed to have no weight, and there was no sound at all when it moved, almost like a ghost!

　　After staying on the street for a while, the figure looked around and paid special attention to the cowshed where Zhou Yun was hiding. After a while, there was still no change in the surroundings. The black shadow finally left the place and walked quickly out of the city.

　　Lurking in the water, although Zhou Yun tried his best to suppress it, his heart was still beating faster than usual. Especially for a moment, Zhou Yun almost felt that he was going to be discovered!

　　The feeling of being stared at was as if he was shrouded by the evil spirit representing death. The tingling sensation on his back made Zhou Yun's entire body hair stand on end.

　　Until the figure had gone far away for a long time, Zhou Yun didn't dare to move at all!

　　It was already known before that Xiqing Town is now full of hidden talents. The people brought by Zhao Guang are almost an overwhelming force. There are seven or eight muscle-training warriors alone, plus a congenital martial artist. If outsiders knew that such a force was used to deal with a fifteen-year-old child, they would almost think that the nobles of Heyang City were crazy.

　　But now, all of this is actually happening.

　　Without paying attention to the movements around him, Zhou Yun kept lying there motionless until the feeling in his heart unconsciously relaxed and he no longer felt that sense of danger. Only then did Zhou Yun confirm that the dangerous person had left the city.

　　Raising his head in the water tank, Zhou Yun breathed silently. Seeing Zhou Yun stand up, the cows around him looked at him silently, and continued to rest with their eyes closed without making a sound. He had been trying hard to suppress his emotions just now, but now that his mind was relaxed, Zhou Yun's whole body immediately broke out in a layer of cold sweat!

　　"Thank you very much, everyone." Zhou Yun bowed to the old cows and spoke with lingering fear. Just now, if these cows had just called out one or two times, Zhou Yun would have been in great danger.

　　After this incident, Zhou Yun no longer dared to walk on the main street. He was no longer anxious. He calmed himself down and tried to sense danger by instinct. He quietly walked towards the post station in Xiqing Town from a street next to the main street.

　　I have learned from the Xu family warrior that every post station along the Black Dragon Mountains is given special attention. The post station in Xiqing Town must also be monitored by people brought by the nobles of Heyang City. As Zhou Yun got closer to the post station, he walked while concentrating on feeling the fluctuations of the surrounding Qi and blood.

　　Sure enough, in a street corner near the post station, Zhou Yun felt a fluctuation of energy and blood. It was obvious that there was a warrior hiding there.

　　In the world of warriors, it is very difficult to suppress and hide qi and blood. Zhou Yun has practiced the tiger fist to an extremely high level and has become as fierce as a tiger. When he wants to hide his qi and blood and get close to his prey, he can do it silently and without any flaws. Other warriors may not have such ability.

　　After feeling it carefully, he found that there were indeed no other warriors hiding in the surroundings, and there were no so-called light or dark sentries. Zhou Yun then carefully approached the warrior.

　　With a light leap, Zhou Yun had already jumped onto the rooftop above the corner of the street where the warrior was, and was approaching from above little by little.

　　At this moment, the warrior was squatting quietly in the shadow created by the moonlight, with a garbage frame in front of him, completely covering his body.

　　The warrior's position is very good. He can monitor the main entrance and side entrance of the Xiqing Town Post Station without being easily exposed. It is a good surveillance point.

　　But for Zhou Yun, he was still too easy to be exposed.

　　The true energy in his body began to run silently, and a blue light immediately flowed over Zhou Yun's body.

　　Without giving the warrior any time to react, Zhou Yun jumped down from the roof, stretched out his finger and pointed at the warrior!

　　"Thunder Tribulation Finger!"

　　With a low shout, Zhou Yun's fingers, carrying a trace of blue lightning arc light, swooped down like a snake's tongue. The warrior just turned his head, and Zhou Yun's fingertips immediately arrived.

　　"Puff...Zz!"

　　A dull sound was heard, and the warrior just turned his head to look upwards when Zhou Yun's finger had already pierced his throat.

　　The arc of light from the fingertips burned the flesh on the warrior's throat to a crisp, and even blood didn't flow out. The warrior fell limply to the ground without even a scream.

　　"Nothing more than that!" Zhou Yun spoke calmly with a calm look as he watched the warrior fall to the ground.

　　Up to now, Zhou Yun's plan has been going very smoothly. Now he just needs to sneak into the post station, check his letters, and leave overnight after getting the news, and there will be no danger.

　　Ignoring the corpse on the ground, Zhou Yun dived into the post station.

　　"Who!" In the Tianyuan Dynasty, every official post station was a place that was strictly guarded by the government. As soon as Zhou Yun entered, a warrior immediately asked.

　　Of course, this warrior’s cultivation level was not very high, he was only at the bone training stage. When Zhou Yun jumped in, he did not hide his qi and blood, so he was discovered by him.

　　"Don't panic, I'm Zhou Yun, a martial arts candidate from Heyang City, Dynasty!" Zhou Yun immediately revealed his identity. As he spoke, Zhou Yun showed the test score book that he had prepared long ago.

　　After all, he is now a military candidate of the dynasty. Although it is only a regional one, it is still an official status. With this status, many things are indeed easy to handle.

　　Sure enough, after seeing Zhou Yun’s report card, the warrior at the post station also put away his knife.

　　In the Tianyuan Dynasty, soldiers had a very high status, not to mention the martial arts candidates with a bright future. Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Yun revealed his identity, the warrior immediately stopped attacking.

　　"I want to check if there is any letter for me. I am being chased by someone now. The situation is critical. I will not explain anything extra." Zhou Yun spoke directly without giving the warrior at the post station a chance to ask.

　　"Okay, please follow me!" Without any further ado, the warrior immediately took Zhou Yun into the post station.

　　Chapter 68: Whereabouts Disclosed

　　Zhou Yun had already followed the warriors in the official post station into the inner hall of the Xiqing Town Post Station. At this time, a carrier pigeon fluttered beside the warrior who was originally monitoring the post station and landed on the trash basket in front of the warrior. The pigeon looked around in confusion and took off again after a moment.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had just entered the post station in Xiqing Town. Time was pressing, so Zhou Yun did not delay any longer and directly wrote down his secret code for receiving letters on paper and pen.

　　This time, Zhou Yun wrote down two secret codes for receiving letters. One was exclusive to him and Lin Junyao, and the other was the secret code for him to contact Zhang Hao, an outer disciple of Wanshengmen.

　　Even though the Wansheng Sect had been hunted down by the Tianyuan Dynasty, they were the descendants of the once powerful Wansheng Sect, so they should still be very strong. Most of their forces in Nanyun City had been wiped out before, especially one of their core disciples. Zhou Yun was worried that they would take retaliatory actions, so he had to consider this threat carefully.

　　The shopkeeper had been called up overnight and received the secret code for receiving letters from Zhou Yun. The warrior in charge of the security of the post station immediately went out and began to collect letters for Zhou Yun.

　　At this time, a carrier pigeon had already flown back to the inn where Zhao Guang and his companions were staying, and landed in a small courtyard behind the inn. This small courtyard was where the warriors brought by the nobles of Heyang City lived this time, and it was also responsible for sending and receiving contact letters with the various surveillance points that monitored Zhou Yun.

　　This carrier pigeon is the one they use to communicate with the warriors monitoring the Xiqing Town Post Station. Since they are all in the same town and the distance between them is very close, the time required for this carrier pigeon to travel back and forth is also very short.

　　In the courtyard, a warrior caught the carrier pigeon that was flying down at a flutter, and immediately took off the note tied to the pigeon's leg.

　　After unfolding the note, the warrior who received the letter's letter's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly ran to the hall of the courtyard.

　　"Master Han! The carrier pigeon at the surveillance point of the Xiqing Town Post Station has returned, and no information has been exchanged!" The warrior ran directly to Han Long, who was sitting in the main seat in the hall, and spoke excitedly.

　　After hearing this, the expressions of the warriors in the room changed immediately, and the temperature in the whole room seemed to drop a lot. These people were all warriors at the muscle training level sent here by various families. They were the core force of the team that was encircling Zhou Yun this time, except for Shadow.

　　Just now, when there were unusual movements at the surveillance point in the Black Dragon Mountains in front of Xiqing Town, Han Long had already called out these core warriors to be on standby at any time, and everyone was very familiar with the current situation.

　　This time, Shadow, the strongest member of the team, has already left the city. If Zhou Yun went to Pingliang after coming out of the Black Dragon Mountains, Shadow's strong cultivation would definitely allow him to kill Zhou Yun. If Zhou Yun did not go to Pingliang, then the most likely outcome would be that he came to Xiqing Town.

　　And now, the warriors who were monitoring the Xiqing Town Post Station did not exchange the latest information, which means that something must have happened at the post station!

　　"Notify Mr. Zhao, and the others get ready and set off immediately!" With a fierce look in his eyes, Han Long grabbed his weapon and shouted excitedly. With Han Long's order, all the warriors in the room stood up.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun at the Xiqing Town Post Station had also received his letter.

　　There were two letters in total, one from the capital, sent by Jun Yao, and the other from Zhang Hao in Pingliang City.

　　When the manager of the post station in Xiqing Town handed him the letter, Zhou Yun opened Jun Yao's letter without thinking.

　　"My beloved Zhou Yun, I am very happy to hear from you. I am doing well in the capital and nothing serious has happened at home in Heyang. Please don't worry about me. The capital is getting warmer. Winter has gone and spring has arrived. I feel the warm spring breeze every day and my heart is also happy..."

　　The letter Jun Yao sent this time was still three pages long, but Zhou Yun only read the first sentence and closed the letter. This was a letter from five days ago, and Zhou Yun had a strange feeling in his heart three days ago. It was obvious that there could not be more information in the letter.

　　Time was running out, and Zhou Yun had no time to read Jun Yao's long letter carefully. He put the letter away directly and asked the steward in front of him, "Staff Wang, under the secret code for receiving letters in the capital, are there no latest letters? Are there no letters for today?"

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's question, a middle-aged man standing in the room smiled and shook his head, "No, after receiving your secret message, I checked all the latest letters, including the ones I just received, and none of them belonged to you."

　　Although he was woken up in the middle of the night, the steward did not show any impatience on his face. He had already learned that Zhou Yun was the top scorer in the martial arts examination. Although such a person was not well-known at present, he would most likely shine in the dynasty in the future. Naturally, the steward would not offend him.

　　"Could it be that he hasn't arrived yet? Or is there nothing wrong?" With a hint of doubt in his heart, Zhou Yun shook his head silently and opened another letter. This was a letter from Zhang Hao from Pingliang.

　　"My Lord,

　　The death of Chen Feng, Qing Liu and more than 20 people outside Wanshengmen was revealed, and the sect was furious and began to search for the whereabouts of the young master. The sect also sent an elder of foreign affairs to capture the young master, and it is scheduled to arrive in Nanyun City on February 17th. Please be careful.

　　Regards, Little Mouse."

　　Sure enough, after killing so many people from Wanshengmen, he still couldn't cover it up. But Zhou Yun didn't take Wanshengmen too seriously. After all, he was the top of the martial arts exam and a student of the Shenwei training camp, so the Wanshengmen wouldn't dare to do anything excessive.

　　Moreover, Zhang Hao's letter arrived yesterday, and today is only February 16th. The so-called foreign affairs elder sent by Wanshengmen will not arrive in Nanyun until tomorrow, and I am leaving today, so I will not meet him at all.

　　"You little thieves, I will definitely wipe you out completely in the future!" Zhou Yun muttered to himself as he closed Zhang Hao's letter.

　　Taking a pen and paper, Zhou Yun immediately wrote short replies to Lin Junyao and Zhang Hao. The letter to Junyao was to ask if anything had happened, while the letter to Zhang Hao was to ask him to protect himself, not to be ostentatious, to avoid being exposed, and that he would bring him to his side when the time was right in the future.

　　The two letters had been written, and Zhou Yun immediately sealed the envelopes and handed them to Manager Wang.

　　"Manager Wang, I'm leaving these two letters in your hands. The letter from the capital has to be sent tonight on an urgent basis, and the letter from Pingliang can be sent as a normal message. I have important matters to attend to, so I won't stay long." Zhou Yun stood up and handed over the letters while saying goodbye.

　　Zhou Yun had already sensed the terrifying aura just now. That should be the innate martial artist sent by the Zhao family. Although he didn't know why he wanted to leave the city, that person would definitely come back. Now Xiqing Town was no longer suitable to stay.

　　Moreover, although Jun Yao's letter did not say that any danger had occurred, this was not the latest letter and it was likely that the news he wanted would not be in it.

　　Although it is still unclear whether it was Junyao or Zhou Xue who brought the heartache, Zhou Yun knew that he could not wait any longer. Lin Junyao was of noble status, so she should be fine. And Zhou Xue was under the protection of the Li family. With the power of the Li family in Heyang City and Li Yi's careful care, she should be fine too.

　　But comparing the two, if any danger occurs, the chance of sister Zhou Xue getting into trouble is still greater than Jun Yao's.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun also made a decision. Although he was still not sure, Zhou Yun decided to go back to Heyang first to take a look.

　　"Okay, we will definitely do what you ask us to do." As a result, Manager Wang responded respectfully to the letter Zhou Yun handed over.

　　Having made up his mind, Zhou Yun did not stop and went straight out of the hall of the inn. The door of the inn was still closed. When Zhou Yun came in just now, he just jumped in, so he naturally had no intention of leaving through the door now.

　　With a single leap, Zhou Yun jumped over the wall and disappeared into the night.

　　Zhou Yun had already left the post station and was preparing to leave the city. At this time, the red-clothed girl who had a small conflict with Zhou Yun in the jungle outside the Black Dragon Mountains was heading towards Xiqing Town under the protection of a group of powerful warriors.

　　The woman in red was named Li Xiaoxiao, and was titled Princess Yuling. She was the biological daughter of Prince Jin. As the daughter of a prince, she was born with a golden spoon in her mouth, so she was extremely noble. Few people dared to disobey her.

　　But she didn't expect to be bullied by Zhou Yun in the Black Dragon Mountains today. When she thought of this, Princess Yuling felt angry. In addition, she didn't find the Moonlight Pearl that could condense the body of a child in the Shadow Blade Sect's secret treasure this time, so Princess Yuling was naturally angry.

　　After leaving the Black Dragon Mountains, Princess Yuling was in a bad mood all the way, muttering to herself something like hanging a still-unknown lunatic upside down on a flagpole in the capital's downtown, stripping him naked, printing words on his face, and exposing him to the sun for public display.

　　Looking at Princess Yuling who was riding on her horse with a look of grievance on her face and muttering to herself, Zhuang Xian shook his head helplessly.

　　"Princess, please don't be angry. You are also to blame for this matter. The young man looks upright and must not be a vicious person. Maybe there is some hidden reason. It is not good for us to interfere in other people's affairs without understanding the situation." Riding his horse closer, Zhuang Xian spoke to Princess Yuling to advise her.

　　Upon hearing this, Princess Yuling's smooth and plump skin immediately showed a trace of light tears, and her rosy little mouth pouted, "What do you mean by righteousness? I think he is full of cruelty and hateful face. It's obvious that he is not a kind person. This time I went out for a long time and worked hard but got nothing. It's the bad luck brought by that madman. This time, I didn't get the Moonlight Pearl. I can't cultivate my pure body. My future cultivation will definitely be affected. Then I will be outdone by that pretentious girl from the Qingshan Marquis family. It's so annoying!"

　　Seeing Princess Yuling's angry expression, Zhuang Xian couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. He also said that it was all the bad luck brought by Zhou Yun that prevented her from finding the Moonlight Pearl, but he didn't expect that she met Zhou Yun when she was returning without finding the Moonlight Pearl. How could this matter be related to Zhou Yun?

　　Just as Zhuang Xian was about to speak to persuade him again, a ghostly black shadow rushed over from the distance.

　　Feeling that powerful aura, Zhuang Xian's expression suddenly changed.

　　"Who is it!?" With a loud shout, Zhuang Xian's body soared into the sky, and the distance of fifty meters passed in a flash. In an instant, his aura was released, as if a fire dragon descended from the sky. Flames were emitting all over his body, and there was even a hint of a dragon's roar, as he rushed straight towards the black shadow in the distance!

　　Chapter 69: A Bolt from the Blue

　　As a warrior of Prince Jin's family, Zhuang Xian was especially ordered to protect Princess Yuling closely, so he naturally had a heavy responsibility. In the dead of night, he felt a strong breath coming towards him. Although he was not sure whether the other party's target was them, Zhuang Xian had to strike first!

　　As soon as he started, Zhuang Xian directly used his powerful boxing skill, the Nine Styles of Flame Dragon. He directly released the Flame Dragon Soaring into the Clouds and Shattering the Sky style, and fiercely slammed into the black shadow on the opposite side.

　　As soon as Zhuang Xian made this move, even Li Xiaoxiao behind him felt a burning force coming at him. As a princess since childhood, Li Xiaoxiao had always been heavily protected and had hardly encountered any danger.

　　Although she started practicing martial arts at an early age and had always had the best instructors to teach her, those instructors were very cautious when teaching this delicate princess and did not dare to use any powerful moves.

　　Take Zhuang Xian for example. Although Li Xiaoxiao has been protected by Zhuang Xian for six or seven years, she usually thinks of Zhuang Xian as just a gentle middle-aged uncle. She never expected that when Zhuang Xian really takes action, it would be so earth-shattering!

　　It was only at this time that Li Xiaoxiao realized that the so-called genius she had always been proud of was actually completely vulnerable in front of a true master.

　　The person flying over from the distance was Shadow who had come out of Xiqing Town. As soon as he left Xiqing Town, Shadow had been running at full speed, trying to kill Zhou Yun directly. From a distance, Shadow sensed a group of people walking over from afar. He originally wanted to check whether Zhou Yun was among them, but he didn't expect that as soon as he approached the other team, he was immediately attacked violently!

　　As soon as Shadow saw the opponent's leading move, his heart immediately became nervous.

　　This person's cultivation was obviously higher than his, and the power behind the Nine Styles of Flame Dragon that the other person used was definitely not something he could afford to offend.

　　The Nine Styles of Flame Dragon originated from the Tianlong Temple. It was the unique skill created by Zen Master Kongxiang, the Flame Dragon Venerable, who was one of the five dragon heads of the Five Dragon Hall of the former Tianlong Temple. After the destruction of the Tianlong Temple, the emperor of the time bestowed the Nine Styles of Flame Dragon on his half-brother, Prince Jin, and the Nine Styles of Flame Dragon became the unique skill of Prince Jin's mansion.

　　Shadow had never expected to meet someone from Prince Jin's mansion here. He dodged with all his might in horror, and his whole body was lowered to an unprecedented level. He threw the black cloak on his body out and spread it out into a two-meter-square shield.

　　boom!

　　The power of the fire dragon hit the unfolded cloak hard, instantly smashing it into pieces.

　　Shadow also took advantage of this time to rush forward with all his strength, and finally got rid of the attack!

　　"Everyone, I have important business to attend to in the Black Dragon Mountains. I was in a hurry and bumped into you. I hope you will forgive me. Time is limited, and I will apologize to you another day." Not daring to look up, Shadow left a few words in a hurry, and the whole person immediately turned into a shadow and left far away.

　　Knowing that the other party was not targeting Princess Yuling and that this was all a misunderstanding, Zhuang Xian stopped chasing him. He could already feel that the other party was definitely injured by his attack.

　　"I was making a fuss out of nothing, but I think I've seen that man's movements before." Zhuang Xian shook his head with a helpless smile and laughed at himself. In the past few years of protecting Princess Yuling, Zhuang Xian had been working very hard and never slacked off. Now that he thought about it, he was too sensitive about this matter.

　　At this time, Li Xiaoxiao, who was standing behind, had also recovered from the shocking scene. Thinking about the flames surrounding Zhuang Xian when he soared into the air, the dragon roar when he used his moves, and the seven or eight meter long fire dragon that was looming in the sky, Li Xiaoxiao's heart could no longer contain its excitement.

　　"Uncle Zhuang, that move you just made was so cool. It's the Nine Styles of Flame Dragon of our Prince Jin's Mansion. I begged my father many times but he wouldn't teach me. Uncle Zhuang, please teach me this technique." Li Xiaoxiao got off the horse and ran up. She didn't act like a princess at all and grabbed Zhuang Xian's arm and started to act coquettishly.

　　Zhuang Xian has been her bodyguard since she was nine years old. He is not only responsible for teaching her martial arts, but also for protecting her safety. In Li Xiaoxiao's view, Zhuang Xian is like her own parent, so she can act like a spoiled child.

　　After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Zhuang Xian shook his head in amusement and admonished, "Princess, martial arts training is definitely not just about show. Before, I suggested that you learn the Heavenly Hands, but you said that close combat technique was not elegant and insisted on learning the Flowing Light Shadowless Whip. Now you have only practiced the whip technique for a year, and you want to learn the Nine Styles of Flame Dragon. How can you improve your martial arts so quickly if you keep changing like this?"

　　Li Xiaoxiao pouted with disdain and argued, "The Heavenly Hands Technique is like a dog fighting for food. How can I, a princess of Dynasty, learn something like that? This Flowing Light Shadowless Whip is pretty, but it lacks momentum when used. Uncle Zhuang, please teach me. I can't be outdone by that stinky girl from the Qingshan Marquis family. Her Four Symbols Wheel is powerful, and it looks great when used. I want to learn something that's no worse than hers."

　　"In fact, you are far inferior to the daughter of the Marquis of Qingshan." Looking at Li Xiaoxiao in front of him, although Zhuang Xian was smiling on his face, he couldn't help but think in his heart.

　　"Okay, I'll go back and teach you." Although Princess Yuling's cultivation is average, and she does things in a rush and immature manner, she is still kind by nature. She is still young now, maybe she will be better in the future. Even if Princess Yuling continues to be like this, it doesn't matter. With her extremely noble status, she will have no problem living a life of wealth and glory.

　　"Yeah! That's great. I will study hard when I go back. I will give that little girl a lesson next time she comes back." Seeing Zhuang Xian agreed, Princess Yuling immediately jumped for joy.

　　"Princess, it's really getting late. We should hurry back to Xiqing Town. We have been out for long enough this time. If we don't return to the capital, the prince will blame me." Having already comforted Princess Yuling, Zhuang Xian looked at the sky and spoke at the right time.

　　"Okay, let's get on the horse and get going!" Having received the promise she wanted, Princess Yuling became the happy little girl again. She jumped on the horse and started to continue on her way to Xiqing Town.

　　After this conflict, although Shadow was injured, he still insisted on looking for Zhou Yun. At this time, Zhou Yun, who had already left the post station and was about to leave the city, was surrounded at the northwest corner of Xiqing Town.

　　Although the actions were extremely secretive, Zhou Yun still underestimated Han Long's arrangements.

　　Less than a cup of tea after he killed the warrior who was monitoring the Xiqing Town Post Station, Han Long had already received the news and had already set up a dragnet.

　　There was no rush to take action near the post station. In order not to alert the government troops of Xiqing Town, Han Long and others waited until Zhou Yun reached the abandoned residential area in the northwest corner of Xiqing Town before gradually approaching and surrounding him.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun was walking quickly on the small street in Xiqing Town. Suddenly, a dangerous breath came over. Sensing this breath, Zhou Yun's footsteps immediately stopped.

　　"Who!" Zhou Yun had vaguely felt a sense of threat since he left the post station, but it was not so strong. Now, this dangerous aura finally became clearer.

　　"Hehe... Zhou Yun, you crippled my son and killed my brother. If I don't kill you, how can I stand between heaven and earth? This day next year will be your memorial day." Just as Zhou Yun finished his words, a sinister voice came from afar.

　　Along with the voice, a burly man appeared from the far corner of the street.

　　The man had a rough look on his face, a ferocious look, and a pair of eyes filled with undisguised hatred. Seeing this man and recalling what the Xu family warrior had said before, Zhou Yun immediately knew who this man was.

　　"Your son has brought this upon himself. As for the warriors from the Han family who came here last time, I only killed one. I have never seen the others. I don't want to fight you to the death. Why do you keep forcing me?" Zhou Yun spoke slowly in a calm tone.

　　"Bullshit! If it weren't for you, there wouldn't have been so many things happening in Heyang City! You, a lowly servant, actually dared to spy on the martial arts candidate, and even dared to hurt him. Today I will cut you into pieces! It happens that your sister won't live for a few more days, so if I'm kind enough, I can wrap up the bodies of both of you and throw them together!" Seeing Zhou Yun's still calm expression, Han Long immediately became angry. In his opinion, the Han family's current situation was all because of Zhou Yun.

　　"Sister?" As soon as Han Long finished speaking, Zhou Yun felt a pain in his heart and an anxious look immediately appeared on his face. "What did you do to my sister?"

　　Now that he thought about it, the heart-wrenching pain three days ago was indeed not without reason. After hearing Han Long's words, Zhou Yun knew that his sister must be in extreme danger.

　　Seeing the painful look on Zhou Yun's face, Han Long immediately laughed heartily.

　　Amidst the laughter, another figure flashed out from behind Han Long. It was Zhao Guang, whom Zhou Yun had not seen for a long time!

　　As soon as he saw Zhao Guang, Zhou Yun's face immediately turned cold.

　　"Zhao Guang, it's you. We have never offended you. Why are you doing this!" Zhou Yun glared at Zhao Guang, his body already trembling, and forced him to answer.

　　"No offense? You saved my face in the Qin family, and you still say no offense!? Moreover, why did your cultivation level improve so fast? What's in the treasure box of General Shenwei? I advise you to hand it over quickly, so that after you die, I can consider sending your body back to be buried with your sister. Otherwise, I will definitely grind your bones to ashes in Xiqing Town!" Looking at Zhou Yun, Zhao Guang laughed wildly and spoke.

　　After such a long wait, they finally found Zhou Yun. Zhao Guang felt extremely relieved. They had just sent the news of finding Zhou Yun to Yingzi. They believed Yingzi would be here soon. There were seven muscle training warriors beside him, among whom Han Long was at the middle stage of muscle training. In Zhao Guang's opinion, there was no need to wait for Yingzi to come back. They could kill Zhou Yun!

　　Zhao Guanghe and Han Long repeatedly said that they wanted to bury him and his sister Zhou Xue together. Could it be that his sister really encountered an unsolvable danger? Thinking back to the care his sister had given him over the years, and thinking that his sister's life had just improved a little, and she was not in a hurry to marry her beloved, but encountered such a danger, Zhou Yun's eyes gradually turned bloodshot.

　　"Tell me, what did you do to my sister?" Zhou Yun clenched his fists and shouted!

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun's aura was extremely terrifying, like a volcano about to erupt. With a roar, Zhao Guang was shocked and couldn't help but take a step back!

　　But then, Zhao Guang felt ashamed. What was so scary about Zhou Yun who was in a desperate situation?

　　Thinking of this, Zhao Guang immediately stepped forward, shaking his head and said, "Hehe, it's nothing, I just gave her a little poison, I'm afraid she is now living a life worse than death! It's a pity, your sister is a beautiful little flower, but you are stubborn, otherwise, I would like to take your sister into my room as a concubine. Now, she is gone, it's really a pity."

　　At this time, the other six tendon-training warriors who came with Zhao Guang, as well as a dozen warriors in the bone-training stage, had gathered together and surrounded Zhou Yun in the middle of the dilapidated street.

　　Originally, Zhou Yun's loud shout just now intimidated them for a moment. Now, in response to Zhao Guang's words, these warriors all laughed wildly, as if they wanted to use the sound of ridicule to offset Zhou Yun's momentum.

　　"Die..." Standing silently at the center of the street, Zhou Yun lowered his head deeply, and his whole body trembled as if he had fallen into a thousand-year-old cold pond.

　　"You all deserve to die..." Zhou Yun muttered silently, with tears welling up in his eyes.

　　"I want all of you to die..." Zhou Yun spoke three sentences each time more clearly. Although his voice was not loud, it had already reached deeply into the hearts of everyone present.

　　As the last sentence was said, Zhou Yun's body no longer trembled, but instead exuded a terrifying murderous aura.

　　Chapter 70 Bloody Streets

　　"Get started!" There was nothing more to say. Zhao Guang immediately took a step back and gave the order!

　　After hearing Zhao Guang's order, the warriors who surrounded Zhou Yun immediately rushed forward. The second son of the Zhao family, a great family, was watching here. When they left, the heads of the various families had already told them that they must do their best in the action of besieging and killing Zhou Yun, and try to leave a good impression on Zhao Guang.

　　Now that Zhao Guang has given the order, these warriors naturally rush forward bravely!

　　Soon, a warrior from the Wang family who had reached the peak of bone training rushed over waving a sword, and swept the sword from Zhou Yun's left side, as if he wanted to cut Zhou Yun into two pieces with one blow.

　　Still standing there with his head down, Zhou Yun didn't even make any extra movements.

　　'Could it be that Zhou Yun was so shocked that he became stupid? Why didn't he react?' Seeing Zhou Yun not moving, the warrior immediately felt a surge of joy in his heart. It seemed that today's achievement would be his! After returning, the head of the family would naturally reward him!

　　clang!

　　Just when the warrior was having a sweet dream in his mind, he found that his sword seemed to have hit a piece of cast iron. Not only did it not cut into Zhou Yun's body, but it also made his own knuckles numb!

　　At some point, Zhou Yun had already grasped a gray steel knife in his left hand, and at this moment he was holding it in both hands, completely protecting his side. His knife hit Zhou Yun's sword.

　　He used all his strength to strike Zhou Yun, but Zhou Yun didn't move at all. It was obvious that Zhou Yun's cultivation was far higher than his. In an instant, the Wang family warrior wanted to retreat because he had already sensed a breath of death!

　　But he had no time to retreat, because Zhou Yun had raised his head and his eyes met Zhou Yun's eyes.

　　When their eyes met, the warrior from the Wang family was almost frightened and screamed. What kind of eyes were those, full of bloodshot, as if possessed. The hatred in their eyes almost burned him to ashes.

　　His body was limp with fear, and the Wang family warrior just wanted to turn around and run away, but a blue light flashed out quickly, and he felt a burning and numb pain in his neck. The Wang family warrior suddenly discovered that Zhou Yun's right hand had pierced into his neck along his throat like a sharp knife!

　　“Wu…wu…”

　　Whimpering in fear, not even blood could come out of the warrior's mouth. Zhou Yun's hand was equipped with a blue lightning force that had already burned his wounds.

　　The hand that reached into the throat directly grabbed the tibia of the Wang family warrior and squeezed it hard. The warrior's tibia was completely broken by Zhou Yun. Then he pulled it hard and actually pulled off a human head!

　　puff!

　　At this moment, the warrior began to bleed. He was still standing there straight, but he had lost his head. The blood from his neck began to spurt out from his chest, shooting directly to a height of more than three meters.

　　"ah!!"

　　Seeing this scene, all the warriors stopped and Zhao Guang even shouted in shock.

　　Logically speaking, none of the warriors here are good people, and they have seen murders before, but such a bloody murder scene still gave them a great shock. Several warriors with weaker cultivation even felt their calves go weak in an instant.

　　After killing a warrior, Zhou Yun raised his head and looked directly at Zhao Guang in the distance. He switched the Tianyan steel knife in his left hand to his right hand, and walked towards Zhao Guang step by step.

　　As soon as Zhao Guang saw Zhou Yun's movements, he immediately understood what Zhou Yun wanted to do. He originally thought that he would not be in any danger as he was accompanied by seven warriors who practiced muscle training. But now it seems that things are obviously not that simple!

　　"Stop him! Stop him quickly!" Zhao Guang suddenly became panicked and started shouting loudly, while he kept backing away.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun was not planning to kill Zhao Guang at the beginning. After all, Zhao Guang had a noble status, and he would definitely not get any benefit if he killed Zhao Guang. But now Zhou Yun no longer has such concerns.

　　If Zhao Guang dares to hurt his relatives, Zhou Yun will never let him go!

　　After hearing Zhao Guang's roar, everyone realized what Zhou Yun wanted to do. Although they were still a little scared, thinking about how they would be punished by the head of the family if something happened to Zhao Guang, the warriors from various noble families in Heyang City began to surround Zhou Yun frantically.

　　They have already seen Shadow's cultivation level. If anything happens to Zhao Guang, not only will their patriarch not let them go, they will also have a hard time getting past Shadow.

　　"Kill!" Finally mustering up the courage, the warriors from various noble families in Heyang City began to rush towards Zhou Yun.

　　The first to be hit was a muscle-training warrior from the Xu family who stabbed Zhou Yun in the chest with a spear.

　　Now Zhou Yun only had Zhao Guang in his eyes. He didn't care about the muscle-training warrior at all. Zhou Yun just dodged his body slightly to avoid the vital points and let the spear go straight through his shoulder. Zhou Yun then chopped down fiercely with a knife, and instantly cut the Xu family warrior into two halves!

　　Then he chopped the spear hard, breaking it into two pieces. Zhou Yun slapped it with the back of the knife, and the part of the spear that had pierced his body immediately passed through his body and fell to the ground. Blood spilled and he felt pain in his body, but Zhou Yun seemed to be unaware of it and continued to approach Zhao Guang.

　　At this time, another warrior also rushed up and slashed at Zhou Yun's shoulder with the steel knife in his hand.

　　Without retreating at all, Zhou Yun rushed forward and blocked a blow on his right arm. Zhou Yun swung his sword and cut the warrior into two pieces diagonally.

　　"Stop him! Stop him quickly! If anything happens to me, none of you will survive!" He was frightened to the point of collapse by Zhou Yun's aura. He never expected that Zhou Yun would become such a person who would not care about his life at all.

　　When he was at the Qin family in Heyang City, Zhou Yun still had some concerns about his identity, but now, this concern has completely disappeared. He has already felt that Zhou Yun now wants to kill him.

　　Knowing that it was impossible for them to stop Zhou Yun individually, all the warriors roared and surrounded Zhou Yun.

　　At this time, Yingzi had already received a message from Han Long, and learned that Zhou Yun had returned to Xiqing Town. Yingzi immediately rushed back at full speed despite his injuries.

　　Now Zhao Guang can only hope that Shadow will come back soon. He no longer has much hope that these warriors can stop Zhou Yun.

　　Although he was surrounded, Zhou Yun's movements did not slow down at all. He strangled the warriors around him with all his strength. Zhou Yun's fighting style was completely a life-and-death fight. As long as the swords of these warriors were not directly fatal, Zhou Yun did not even dodge and let the wounds remain on his body.

　　Now Zhou Yun only wants to kill all these people, and then kill Zhao Guang to avenge his sister!

　　puff!

　　Another warrior slashed Zhou Yun's back with a knife, blood spurted out, and a long wound immediately appeared on Zhou Yun's back.

　　"Get out of the way!" He turned around and chopped down with all his strength. The warrior hastily raised his hand to block, but he could not withstand Zhou Yun's strength at all. Zhou Yun's knife directly cut off his arm and almost split the warrior in half!

　　During the battle, Han Long never stepped forward, but quietly guarded Zhao Guang. In his opinion, whether the Han family would have a chance to rise again depended on whether he could protect Zhao Guang before Shadow came back.

　　“Zhou Yun, how much blood can you bleed? After killing all these people, I’m afraid you won’t have much strength left.” Looking at Zhou Yun, who was falling into madness like a devil in the street, Han Long sneered in his heart.

　　However, Han Long really underestimated Zhou Yun. With that mysterious little piece, and the continuous condensation in that mysterious little piece, Zhou Yun's physical fitness was far beyond what Han Long could have imagined. Although Zhou Yun was now covered in blood and had wounds all over his body, he had not suffered any fatal injuries.

　　The wounds closed on their own after a brief period of bleeding. Although they could not heal in a short period of time, stopping the bleeding was not a problem.

　　Zhou Yun's physical strength was not affected much. He was completely immersed in madness and did not feel tired at all.

　　ah!!

　　Finally, with a scream, the last warrior was beheaded by Zhou Yun, leaving only three people alive on the entire street.

　　Zhou Yun was covered in blood, and Han Long and Zhao Guang were standing ten meters away from him.

　　The entire street was now as tragic as hell on earth, with broken limbs strewn all over the ground. Many corpses were incomplete and scattered randomly on the street, and the smell of blood made people feel like vomiting.

　　Standing in the center of the street, Zhou Yun was completely unaffected. After taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun adjusted his state and raised his head again.

　　"It's your turn." Looking at the two people in the distance, Zhou Yun spoke slowly.

　　Watching Zhou Yun walking towards him step by step, a sneer appeared on Han Long's lips. He took out a pair of strange gloves from the package he carried with him. Han Long put on the gloves slowly. These were a pair of gloves covered with spikes. They were black in color, and each spike on them looked extremely sharp. As soon as they appeared, they immediately brought a heavy pressure to people.

　　"After two heavy blows, our Han family is finished. But before that, I still have to settle the matter between us. Zhou Yun, today, it's either you die or I die." Han Long had already put on gloves. He clenched and opened his fists repeatedly, and the gloves made a creaking sound. Han Long looked at Zhou Yun and grinned.

　　With a disdainful smile, Zhou Yun silently adjusted the true energy in his body and was fully prepared.

　　After the killing just now, Zhou Yun had already vented a lot of his anger. Zhou Yun was not the kind of person who could not calm down. Han Long was obviously more skilled than other warriors, so Zhou Yun would not be so careless.

　　"Master Han, I'm counting on you. As long as I don't die today, I will fully support the Han family." All the warriors had died, and now only Han Long was left in front of him. After hearing Han Long's words, Zhao Guang spoke immediately.

　　Now he can only rely on Han Long. If he wants to save his life, he must make more promises.

　　Sure enough, after hearing this, Han Long's eyes lit up immediately. His originally well-maintained concentration was also interrupted at this moment!

　　Seeing this opportunity, Zhou Yun immediately pounced on it.

　　Chapter 71: Qi and Blood Stimulation

　　The most taboo thing for warriors in battle is distraction. Han Qian suffered this loss in the martial arts examination in Heyang City. He was distracted on how to attack Zhou Yun's heart, which prevented Zhou Yun from fully committing to the battle. However, he did not expect that this would affect his own state of mind, and he was defeated by Zhou Yun in one fell swoop, and ended up being seriously injured.

　　But now, Han Long lost his peace of mind because of Zhao Guang's promise.

　　Originally, after the death of Han Hu and a group of Han family warriors, the Han family's strength was no longer as strong as before. In addition, his only son was crippled. Han Long had no desire for anything other than revenge, but the development of the situation made him see a turning point.

　　If Zhao Guang can be protected and the Zhao family can be climbed, maybe the Han family can be saved. At this time, Zhao Guang's promise made Han Long very excited. With his thoughts shaken, Han Long's originally calm heart would naturally ripple.

　　And this is the most taboo thing in a battle between warriors!

　　"Prepare to die!" Zhou Yun seized the opportunity and rushed forward directly. As soon as he started, he used the strongest attack of the phantom sword.

　　Originally, he was still thinking about how to make the Han family rise again. Now that Han Qian was abolished, should he ask for a few more wives and have a few more sons? Thinking of this, Han Long's heart was a little confused.

　　Han Long came back to his senses after hearing Zhou Yun's roar. He didn't even have time to adjust his breathing before he was immediately caught in Zhou Yun's violent attack.

　　"Humph, this Zhao Guang is such a waste, he is only making things worse at this time, there is no point in keeping such a person!" Zhou Yun thought in his heart while using the secret method of Shadow Blade Sect to attack Han Long. During the time of Shaoqing, Zhou Yun used the steel knife in his hand to leave seven or eight wounds on Han Long's body.

　　Although these wounds were not deep due to Han Long's efforts in defense, they had greatly affected Han Long's speed and determination.

　　Being forced to retreat repeatedly by Zhou Yun, Han Long was angry and anxious in his heart. At this time, he already regretted it a little. Nearly forty years old, Han Long practiced martial arts for many years, so he naturally knew that martial artists' fights were a confrontation between life and death, and there was no room for distraction. It was because of a distraction that he was entangled by Zhou Yun and lost the initiative.

　　And more importantly, Zhou Yun's cultivation was not weaker than his! This was what shocked Han Long the most.

　　More than a month ago, in the Heyang City martial arts examination, Zhou Yun was just a low-rate martial artist who had just entered the bone training stage. How long has it been since then, and he, a martial artist in the middle stage of tendon training, is already no match for Zhou Yun.

　　The reason why he can still hold on now is entirely because his boxing and weapons have a slight advantage.

　　The boxing style that Han Long practiced is called boxing, and with the help of the fine steel boxing gloves on his hands, his moves are flexible and maneuverable. Zhou Yun used a single sword, and although it was very fast, Han Long was able to block it with both hands, and because the boxing gloves were attached to his hands, his movements were flexible, which prevented him from being defeated by Zhou Yun all at once.

　　If Han Long had also used a sword or other weapon and needed a long weapon to block Zhou Yun's attack, he would probably have been beheaded by now. This was what shocked Han Long the most.

　　At this time, Han Long had been forced by Zhou Yun to defend. Han Long had no other ideas and only hoped that he could hold on for a while longer. As long as he could wait until Shadow came back and still hold on without failure, it would be a great achievement.

　　Now Zhao Guang is watching by the side, I believe he will naturally remember his contribution.

　　Zhao Guang at the far end was also shocked at this moment. Although Han Long's cultivation was not as good as Shadow's, he was still a warrior at the middle stage of muscle training. But even such a warrior was forced to retreat again and again in front of Zhou Yun, with wounds on his body increasing one after another, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back.

　　What on earth did Zhou Yun get that his cultivation level improved so quickly?

　　Looking at Zhou Yun, Zhao Guang could no longer suppress the greed in his heart. In his opinion, the reason Zhou Yun's cultivation could be improved so quickly was entirely because of the treasure in the treasure box of General Shenwei. It was not his own credit at all. As long as he could get that treasure, he, Zhao Guang, could continue to improve his cultivation and become a talented warrior that everyone admired.

　　Zhou Yun and Han Long were fighting fiercely in the distance. Looking at Zhou Yun's unusually agile figure, a trace of resentment flashed in Zhao Guang's eyes.

　　"Zhou Yun, my strongest warrior will be back soon. He is a congenital martial artist. Just prepare to die!" Suddenly, Zhao Guang, who was watching the battle from a distance, roared.

　　Hearing this voice, Zhou Yun's attack immediately stopped, and Han Long's face changed instantly.

　　Although the two are fighting now, Han Long is completely at a disadvantage. Zhou Yun has suppressed him to the point where he can only passively defend. In this situation, if Zhou Yun wants to withdraw to attack Zhao Guang, Han Long will be powerless to stop him no matter what.

　　Originally, Han Long wanted to delay Zhou Yun so that he would not be distracted and do harm to Zhao Guang, but he did not expect that at this critical moment, Zhao Guang would actually seek death by running out and shouting like this.

　　In fact, Zhao Guang's original intention was to distract Zhou Yun's attention and help Han Long relieve the pressure, but he didn't expect that this would completely attract Zhou Yun's attention.

　　With a fierce look in his eyes, Zhou Yun swung his sword at Han Long repeatedly, forcing Han Long back several steps. Then he suddenly turned around and pounced directly at Zhao Guang.

　　Seeing this situation, Zhao Guang finally realized how big a mistake he had made.

　　"Zhou Yun stay!" Although he kept cursing Zhao Guang as an idiot, Han Long couldn't let Zhou Yun kill Zhao Guang. With a roar, Han Long's face, which was originally calm, suddenly became ferocious. The blood-red color filled up in an instant, and the aura around him was swollen. Han Long's figure seemed to have expanded a few points, and his aura was completely different from before, as if his cultivation had been forcibly increased by two levels.

　　Sensing this danger, Zhou Yun immediately gave up chasing Zhao Guang and became alert.

　　Turning back to see Han Long's condition, Zhou Yun immediately felt a trace of admiration in his heart, "Han Long actually has such a wonderful method of stimulating qi and blood, which can instantly increase his cultivation by two levels!!"

　　At this moment, Han Long has completed the forced improvement, and his whole body has swelled up, just like a piece of blown-up dough. Han Long, who originally only had the middle stage of bone training, had the same oppressive feeling as the initial stage of organ blood exchange after his qi and blood were inspired.

　　This feeling was almost the same as the shadow Zhou Yun encountered when he first entered the city, but Zhou Yun knew that Han Long's stimulation of blood and qi would not last long, and there would definitely be a serious backlash. Otherwise, why didn't he stimulate it as soon as he saw him? He had to wait until Zhao Guang was in danger before taking action.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately had a plan.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun directly used the method of Piercing Qi for a Long Time in the Qi Dynamic Step. Piercing Qi for a Long Time is a method of suppressing a breath in the Dantian and driving the whole body to move quickly.

　　After taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun immediately turned around and fled. Han Long's martial arts could not last long, so Zhou Yun naturally would not fight him head-on at this time.

　　With his body rising and falling quickly, Zhou Yun pounced directly towards Zhao Guang, acting as if he was determined to kill Zhao Guang.

　　"Zhou Yun, stop!" Seeing Zhou Yun's actions, Han Long was even more shocked. With a roar, Han Long ran directly towards Zhou Yun, wanting to catch up with Zhou Yun from behind.

　　Feeling Han Long's action, Zhou Yun smiled. The Tianyan steel knife had already been put into the space ring, and the three-forged steel knife that Zhou Yun had not used for a long time was taken out. Zhou Yun rushed to a place three steps away from Zhao Guang, and Han Long behind him had already caught up with him, and a terrifying momentum rushed straight to Zhou Yun's back.

　　Zhou Yun was not in a hurry to kill Zhao Guang. Instead, he made a flexible turn and diverted his route 90 degrees, moving away from Zhao Guang.

　　Originally, Zhao Guang was so scared that he shouted, thinking that he was doomed this time, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yun, who was at the point where the two of them were in contact, suddenly moved away from him. He knew that this was because of Han Long's threat. Although he didn't know why Han Long suddenly became so powerful, new hope rose in Zhao Guang's heart.

　　"Master Han, kill him! Kill Zhou Yun!" Zhao Guang was frightened half to death by Zhou Yun's attack just now. When he saw Zhou Yun suddenly leave, he immediately screamed like crazy.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had instantly run ten meters away. To Zhao Guang, Zhou Yun was no longer a threat.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun turn around, Han Long quickly adjusted his direction and rushed forward again. At this moment, Han Long was also very clear that he only had one minute after stimulating his blood and qi. If he did not kill Zhou Yun within this period of time, once the blood and qi stimulation time was over, the sequelae of forced blood and qi stimulation would appear, and Han Long would no longer have the power to resist Zhou Yun.

　　Feeling that Han Long was catching up with him, Zhou Yun sneered in his heart. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

　　After Han Long stimulated his qi and blood, his speed was faster than Zhou Yun. If Zhou Yun just ran, he might not be able to get rid of him. He had to think of other ways.

　　Now Zhou Yun was fifteen steps away from Zhao Guang, and Han Long was not in the straight line between Zhou Yun and Zhao Guang because he turned early.

　　Zhou Yun had been waiting for this opportunity. He suddenly turned around while running and swung the three-forged steel knife in his hand towards Zhao Guang with tremendous force.

　　"Go to hell!" Zhou Yun threw out a knife and ran again at high speed. Zhao Guang's cultivation was not even at the bone training stage, he was a complete waste. Zhou Yun used all his strength in this knife, Zhao Guang could not resist it.

　　If Han Long didn't want Zhao Guang to be seriously injured or even die, he had to stop chasing Zhou Yun and return to help Zhao Guang block the knife.

　　The time it took to go back and forth was enough for Zhou Yun to run far away.

　　Sure enough, seeing Zhou Yun actually throw the knife away, Han Long had no choice but to give up chasing Zhou Yun and turn around to resist.

　　He managed to block Zhou Yun's knife, but when he looked back, Zhou Yun had already run forty steps away.

　　At such a long distance, even if he had stimulated his qi and blood, it would be impossible for him to catch up.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun who was standing on a roof in the distance and looking at him with a teasing look, Zhao Guang became so angry that he suddenly became like a deflated ball and became listless.

　　Chapter 72 Between Life and Death

　　Zhou Yun had already run far away, so Han Long naturally had no chance. His whole body felt deflated, and the aftereffects of forcibly stimulating his qi and blood immediately became apparent.

　　With a scream, Han Long immediately collapsed like a deflated ball. Although Han Long's method of stimulating Qi and blood was powerful, the sequelae were also very serious and would hurt the warrior's foundation. If it was forcibly stimulated once, it would take three or four months to recover.

　　The most unfortunate thing is that the energy and blood stimulated by Han Long has not been able to hurt Zhou Yun. Now he has become a fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered.

　　Seeing Han Long lose his temper, Zhou Yun revealed a cruel smile on his face. Han Long was no longer a concern, so Zhao Guang's life would naturally come to an end.

　　Jumping down from the roof, Zhou Yun held the Tianyan steel knife in his hand and walked towards the two men step by step.

　　Although he was extremely weak, Han Long still wanted to do his best to protect Zhao Guang. Zhou Yun chopped off Han Long's head with one ruthless knife.

　　A human head suddenly flew up, and blood from the neck began to gushed out wildly, splashing all over Zhao Guang's body and face.

　　"Ah!" Zhao Guang screamed immediately when the hot blood splashed on his body.

　　"Zhou Yun! How dare you kill me! My family is from a wealthy family, and my eldest brother is a general. If you dare to kill me, our Zhao family will not let you go!" Seeing Zhou Yun beheading Han Long directly, Zhao Guang's spirit had collapsed.

　　Zhou Yun was not in a hurry to kill Zhao Guang. He searched Han Long's body and found a secret book and a large amount of gold notes. Then he stood up and slowly asked Zhao Guang, "Zhao Guang, I just want to ask you one question. What kind of poison did you give my sister? Do you have an antidote?"

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's question, Zhao Guang's mood calmed down a little. With his eyes rolling around, Zhao Guang began to think about how to save his life.

　　"Speak!" Seeing Zhao Guang's appearance, Zhou Yun immediately shouted, and swung the steel knife in his hand, directly cutting off Zhao Guang's left arm.

　　“Ah! Ah...!” Zhao Guang howled like a wolf again after being hit so hard suddenly.

　　"Answer me! Say it quickly! Hurry up!" Without paying any attention to the blood gushing out of Zhao Guang's wound, Zhou Yun directly held the Tianyan steel knife in his hand horizontally, using it as a board, and beat Zhao Guang wildly.

　　GABA! GABA!

　　Zhou Yun's Tianyan steel knife weighed fifty kilograms. This fierce beating instantly broke Zhao Guang's bones into pieces. As a descendant of a great family, when had Zhao Guang ever suffered such pain? After a fierce beating, Zhao Guang was already dying and couldn't even scream.

　　Glancing at Zhao Guang coldly, Zhou Yun gently placed the steel knife in his hand next to Zhao Guang's neck and said slowly, "Answer me."

　　After being beaten wildly by Zhou Yun, all the bones in Zhao Guang's body were broken. Even if he didn't die, he would become a disabled person and was destined to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Such a blow almost drove Zhao Guang crazy.

　　Although he was in great pain all over, Zhao Guang still tried hard to open his eyes and looked at Zhou Yun with great resentment.

　　"Zhou Yun... I didn't expect that I, Zhao Guang, would end up like this! But don't even think about having an easy time! I'm telling you, I poisoned your sister with the Soul-Locking Incense. I'm afraid your sister has turned into a fool now. In three days, she should turn into an ugly mummy. Hahahaha, are you happy? Are you happy? Hahahaha!"

　　With only revenge in his mind, Zhao Guang tried his best to provoke Zhou Yun with words. Seeing the pain on Zhou Yun's face as he spoke, Zhao Guang felt a sense of relief and couldn't help laughing wildly.

　　"Prepare to die!" His eyes were completely red. Although he didn't know what the soul-locking incense was, Zhou Yun was completely furious when he learned about the pain his sister Zhou Xue was suffering at the moment!

　　Raising the steel knife in his hand, Zhou Yun chopped directly towards Zhao Guang's head.

　　"Stop!" Suddenly, a loud shout came over, and the sound of the shout seemed to carry a power that shocked the soul. Hearing this voice, Zhou Yun immediately felt his mind in chaos, and even went blank for a while.

　　Just as he was trying to come to his senses, Zhou Yun immediately saw a figure dressed in black rushing towards him rapidly. With a touch of his fingertips, a force immediately broke through the air and attacked Zhou Yun.

　　As soon as the man in black appeared, Zhou Yun immediately felt a sense of extreme danger. Instinctively, Zhou Yun held the steel knife horizontally in his hand, trying to resist.

　　bump!

　　There was a heavy collision sound. Although the energy was blocked by the Tianyan steel knife, Zhou Yun still felt a huge force and he couldn't help but step back seven or eight steps.

　　The man who rushed back was the shadow beside Zhao Guang. He went outside the city to look for Zhou Yun, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yun came to Xiqing Town under his nose. After receiving the news, the shadow immediately rushed back at full speed, but Zhou Yun still killed all the warriors in Heyang City.

　　Fortunately, Zhao Guang did not die, and the shadow was at least explained.

　　After forcing Zhou Yun to retreat, Shadow immediately saw Zhao Guang lying on the ground. Zhao Guang's eyes were already somewhat distracted at this moment, and his body was twisted at an incredible angle, as soft as noodles. Seeing Zhao Guang's condition, Shadow immediately knew what Zhou Yun had done to him.

　　"Zhou Yun, you are so brave." Raising his head, Shadow looked at Zhou Yun silently, his voice had become extremely cold.

　　Since the black cloak had been shattered by Zhuang Xian, the shadow now finally revealed his true appearance. He was a man in his thirties, extremely thin, with sunken cheeks. His whole body looked like a skeleton, but there was a cold and terrifying aura about him.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun looked at the person in front of him quietly. He did not run away, but said calmly, "You are the one who poisoned my sister, right?"

　　"What?" After a simple fight just now, Shadow believed that Zhou Yun had already seen his cultivation level. However, Zhou Yun's reaction was different from what he imagined. He neither ran away nor showed fear. There was actually a hint of hatred in Zhou Yun's eyes, as if he wanted to swallow him.

　　Zhou Yun's question made Yingzi stunned for a moment, and he felt a little confused.

　　"Let me ask you, were you the one who poisoned my sister?" Zhou Yun had already regulated his breathing, stared at the man in black in front of him, and spoke calmly.

　　He bent his knees slightly, lowered his lumbar spine, leaned his upper body forward, and slowly raised the steel knife in his hand.

　　Seeing this action, a hint of surprise flashed in Shadow's eyes. This Zhou Yun actually wanted to fight him here!

　　"Hahaha, yes, I was the one who poisoned your sister. I kind of regret it now. In addition to poisoning her, I should have also carved her face into flowers so that she would become an ugly female ghost in hell!" Feeling that his dignity was challenged, Shadow immediately laughed wildly.

　　As soon as Shadow finished speaking, Zhou Yun's pupils shrank slightly.

　　"roar!"

　　The anger in his heart had been suppressed to the limit. Zhou Yun opened his eyes wide and suddenly let out a deafening roar.

　　This roar had a hint of a tiger's roar, and Zhou Yun had already built up his momentum, so this roar was like thunder, exploding out of nowhere. Even the shadow couldn't help but take a step back!

　　At this moment, outside Xiqing Town, the people led by Princess Yuling were already approaching the city. Hearing this sound, the horse under Princess Yuling's crotch immediately panicked! Horses and other animals are most afraid of tigers. When Zhou Yun whistled, even Princess Yuling's good horse was frightened and retreated repeatedly.

　　"Princess! It's the young man just now! He is in danger!" Upon hearing the roar, Zhuang Xian's face immediately changed. When he was in the Black Dragon Mountains just now, Zhuang Xian had already seen some clues. The young man was dressed in cloth and was obviously a civilian, while the man chasing him looked like a warrior from a noble family.

　　A noble warrior is chasing a civilian boy. This matter needs to be dealt with no matter what.

　　"Let's go and take a look!" Although there were some small misunderstandings with Zhou Yun, Princess Yuling was not an unreasonable person. She clearly heard a hint of sadness and anger in the howl. It was obvious that Zhou Yun had fallen into a desperate situation, and she had to take care of such a situation.

　　After leaving a few words behind, Princess Yuling and Zhuang Xian took the lead and ran towards the place where the howl came from. Following Princess Yuling, the other warriors also leaped up and ran, following the two of them.

　　At this time, in the ruined urban area, Zhou Yun and the shadow were already fighting.

　　As soon as the two of them started fighting, Zhou Yun immediately felt a heavy pressure, which was greater than the war puppets in the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower. Shadow's attack was extremely strange and extremely fast. After only a short while, Zhou Yun was forced to the point where he had no power to fight back.

　　But Zhou Yun still stuck closely to Shadow, not daring to leave at all. Shadow's unique air-breaking power as an innate martial artist was too terrifying. Once the distance was shortened, Zhou Yun was completely unable to defend himself, so Zhou Yun could only choose this dangerous leaning combat mode, leaving Shadow no time to use his strength to stimulate his true power to leave his body!

　　puff!

　　Suddenly, a cold light flashed across, and a wound more than two feet long was cut on Zhou Yun's chest, and blood gushed out immediately.

　　Then, the shadow flew up and kicked Zhou Yun in the dantian. At this moment, Zhou Yun's true energy immediately dissipated, and he flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

　　'Wow!'

　　Falling to the ground, Zhou Yun immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, but he still tried hard to support his body with the knife and knelt on one knee to support himself.

　　"Hehe, you kid are quite stubborn. I want to see how long you can hold on." Looking at Zhou Yun who was half-kneeling there, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Shadow's mouth, and a trace of terrifying true energy immediately circulated and condensed in his body.

　　Having already knocked Zhou Yun flying, he now finally has the chance to use the unique air-breaking power of a congenital martial artist to kill Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun felt a chill on his back and felt the horrible feeling of death. He tried to take a deep breath, but found that his dantian was in sharp pain and he couldn't muster any strength.

　　"I can't die. I can't die yet. My sister is still waiting for me, Jun Yao is still waiting for me, I can't die, I can't die!!" Zhou Yun bit his teeth hard, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he kept roaring in his heart. This was the first time in his life that Zhou Yun was so close to death!

　　"How dare you, you lunatic!" Just at this moment, a righteous voice suddenly came from afar. Upon hearing this voice, Shadow's face changed immediately.

　　"Die!" With a low shout, a force that broke through the air shot out from Shadow's fingertips and hit Zhou Yun's heart!

　　"Get out of here!" At this time, Zhou Yun actually endured the severe pain in his dantian and forced up a breath of true energy. Blue light flashed between his fingers. It was the Thunder Finger in the Wanxiang Benlei Fist!

　　The finger popped out, and the tip of Zhou Yunlei's finger collided directly with the force emitted by the shadow!

　　Chapter 73: Three Kings Fight for Succession

　　Gab!

　　When the two auras collided, Zhou Yun immediately felt a piercing pain in his fingertips. The subsequent sound made Zhou Yun realize that the bone of his left index finger might have been broken.

　　However, the Thunder Finger was finally activated and offset the shadow's attack, so Zhou Yun's life was finally safe.

　　After the attack, the shadow immediately pulled back frantically. As it retreated, it spoke from a distance, "My friends, the man lying on the ground is Zhao Guang, the second son of the Zhao family in Tianhe Province, Tianyuan Dynasty. I am fighting this lunatic to protect Zhao Guang. Please protect Zhao Guang. The Zhao family will reward you handsomely in the future."

　　As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow retreated madly and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

　　The mission to kill Zhou Yun this time was a complete failure, and with his current serious injuries, he had no way of taking Zhao Guang away. If he stayed, once he was caught by these powerful warriors and his identity was exposed, it would be a disaster for Zhao Lei. After weighing the pros and cons, Shadow could only choose to retreat first.

　　Zhao Guang has become like this, I believe the situation will not get worse. Revealing Zhao Guang's identity, no matter which family the warriors are from, I believe they will help him. Now the Zhao family has surrendered to the Marquis of Xichuan, and is a force under the prince. No one dares to underestimate it.

　　As the shadow floated away, Princess Yuling and others also ran to Zhou Yun's side. At this moment, the dilapidated street in the southwest corner of Xiqing Town had almost become a hell. Princess Yuling had not noticed it when she was running at full speed just now, but now, seeing the broken arms and limbs and even black internal organs all over the ground, Princess Yuling's face immediately turned pale.

　　puff!

　　In her nervousness, Princess Yuling didn't even notice where she stepped, and accidentally kicked a round object. When she looked down, she found that what she kicked was actually a human head with eyes wide open!

　　"ah!!"

　　Born into a noble family, Princess Yuling had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened that she screamed loudly.

　　They surrounded Princess Yuling and protected her closely. All the warriors, including Zhuang Xian, stood still and stared at the blood-covered young man in the distance.

　　These people were obviously killed by the young man.

　　"This young man is really extraordinary. He is less than sixteen years old, but his cultivation is so high that he can kill so many muscle and bone training warriors while being besieged. Moreover, he can hold on for so long against the innate martial artist without dying." Zhou Yun at the far end was struggling to stand up at this moment. Seeing that Zhou Yun could still stand up, Zhuang Xian couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

　　The warriors around Princess Yuling had all experienced life and death situations many times, and had all survived bloody battles. Naturally, they could see what a brutal battle had just taken place on the street.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun, Zhuang Xian couldn't help but compare him with all the princes and sons of the capital. Isolated and surrounded, he could actually kill so many bone and tendon training warriors under such circumstances, and he could hold on without being killed even when facing a congenital martial artist who trained his organs and exchanged his blood. Such actual combat ability, let alone the princes and sons of the capital, even a few princes, at the same age, might not be able to do it.

　　In terms of cultivation, Zhou Yun is definitely not the best, but his actual combat ability is far beyond what cultivation can represent.

　　Actual combat requires experience, skills, the right time and place, but more importantly, courage.

　　"He is really powerful. This boy has an immeasurable future!" They are all veterans of the battlefield. Soon, the warriors around Princess Yuling figured this out. They looked at each other, and everyone's eyes were filled with shock.

　　Princess Yuling naturally could not see the deeper things that Zhuang Xian and others saw. At this moment, she had more or less stabilized her emotions and began to pay attention to Zhou Yun again.

　　After a bloody battle, there was no healthy place on Zhou Yun's body. His whole body was covered with wounds. Some of them were more than two inches deep. The wounds were now turned up like fish mouths, looking extremely terrifying.

　　As if unaware of his wounds, Zhou Yun raised his head, took a deep breath, struggled to stand up, and walked step by step towards Zhao Guang who was lying on the ground.

　　puff!

　　With a swing of his knife, Zhou Yun chopped off Zhao Guang's head.

　　"ah!"

　　Seeing Zhou Yun being so cruel, Princess Yuling screamed again.

　　After killing Zhao Guang, Zhou Yun immediately felt relieved. The revenge for Zhao Guang's poisoning of his sister was finally avenged. Next, it was the black-clothed warrior. Zhou Yun had already memorized the man's appearance and believed that he would meet him in the future.

　　After killing Zhao Guang, Zhou Yun immediately felt weak and fell to the ground. Although there was that mysterious little piece, the wound on Zhou Yun's body was too severe at the moment. The blood alone was enough for Zhou Yun to bear.

　　"Uncle Zhuang, is he...dead?" Seeing Zhou Yun coming down, Princess Yuling immediately asked Zhuang Xian anxiously. Although she didn't know the whole story, Princess Yuling instinctively felt that Zhou Yun was the weaker party, and couldn't help but sympathize with him.

　　"Let's go and take a look." Seeing Zhou Yun fall, Zhuang Xian was a little worried. Although they had not had much contact, Zhuang Xian had begun to like this young man Zhou Yun. Apart from anything else, just from this brief contact and observation, he was already very impressed by Zhou Yun's tenacious character and talent in cultivation.

　　Running to Zhou Yun, Zhuang Xian quickly grabbed Zhou Yun's wrist and squeezed it gently. He immediately knew the extent of Zhou Yun's injury.

　　"His energy and blood were depleted too severely, and he fell into a coma, but it's not serious. He will recover after some recuperation." While speaking, Zhuang Xian let go of Zhou Yun's hand, took out a small bottle from his waist, took out a red pill, and put it into Zhou Yun's mouth.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun took the pill, his pale complexion immediately began to improve.

　　"This is a Qi and Blood Pill, which can quickly replenish a warrior's lost Qi and blood. His condition will be better after taking this pill. Let's lay him flat here for a quarter of an hour. When his condition gets a little better, we'll carry him back to the post station to rest. This young man has a very good physical foundation and his injuries heal quickly. Many of his wounds have stopped bleeding. I believe he will be back to normal in a dozen days at most." After feeding Zhou Yun a Qi and Blood Pill, Zhuang Xian made arrangements immediately.

　　What Zhou Yun needs now is recovery, and it would be inappropriate to lift his body rashly at this time.

　　"Then let's wait here." After hearing Zhuang Xian's words, Princess Yuling also nodded.

　　"No, Princess. You are a precious girl, how can you stay in this filthy place for long? Let's go back to the post station first, we will just watch him here." Seeing that Princess Yuling also wanted to stay here, Zhuang Xian said immediately.

　　Shaking her head silently, Princess Yuling stopped talking and just looked at Zhou Yun lying on the ground.

　　This was the first time in her life that she had seen a crazy person like Zhou Yun. Originally, she was very angry with Zhou Yun when she saw him kill a person in the dense forest at the foot of the Black Dragon Mountains. But now, Zhou Yun had killed far more people than before.

　　The most important thing is that he killed a young master of a wealthy family in front of Princess Yuling, but now Princess Yuling doesn’t think that Zhou Yun’s behavior is inappropriate at all.

　　Zhou Yun was covered in blood on the ground, with a frown on his face, a hint of anger, worry and anxiety, as if he had thought of something bad. But Zhou Yun was very new to Princess Yuling, she had never seen such a man in her life.

　　Especially since this man was about her age, Princess Yuling was even more curious. Now she wanted to know what kind of changes Zhou Yun had gone through to make a boy under the age of sixteen become so cruel and crazy.

　　"This boy is pretty good-looking, much better than those pretty boys in the capital." Although he was lying there with a frown on his face, Zhou Yun's angular face still made Princess Yuling feel a kind of masculine charm. Although his clothes were cut into rags, Princess Yuling still thought Zhou Yun was good-looking.

　　Thinking about this, Princess Yuling's pretty face couldn't help but turn slightly red. She was still an unmarried girl, and it seemed a little inappropriate to think about these things.

　　"Okay, his body has recovered a little and can be carried back to the post station." Without noticing the change in Princess Yuling's expression, Zhuang Xian spoke immediately when he saw that Zhou Yun's breathing had become smoother.

　　The people around Princess Yuling were all warriors. They actually had a little admiration for a young man like Zhou Yun and did not mind the blood on Zhou Yun's body. The warriors around Princess Yuling immediately lifted Zhou Yun up and walked towards the inn in Xiqing Town.

　　"Princess, the man just now should be a member of the Black Snake Army on the northwest front, and the dead one should be the second son of the Zhao family in Tianhe City. I just don't know what grudge they have with this young man. Moreover, this young man killed someone from the Zhao family in front of us, and we don't know if there is anything wrong with us not doing anything." While walking, Zhuang Xian recalled what happened today and said to Princess Yuling.

　　With a flash of displeasure on her face, Princess Yuling said, "What's wrong with that? How dare a small family question me, the current princess? These people gathered so many warriors just to hunt down a boy. I'm afraid they are not good people. They are doing things that oppress innocent people. Since I have run into them, I can't just ignore it. If the Zhao family dares to have any objections, let them talk to my father."

　　"Princess, the Zhao family is naturally nothing to worry about. But as far as I know, the Zhao family's superior is the Marquis of Xichuan, and the Marquis of Xichuan supports His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. A single move could have far-reaching consequences and should not be underestimated. Now there are three princes vying for the throne in the court. The prince has asked us to stay out of matters related to the princes. After returning to Beijing, we should report this matter to the prince as soon as possible and ask him to make the decision. Princess, please don't say or do anything rash." The Tianyuan Dynasty was founded thirty years ago. Now the first emperor Li Zhi is over sixty years old, and the fight for the throne has become increasingly fierce.

　　At present, Crown Prince Li Xian and Third Prince Li Cheng are the most promising and are also the ones fighting the most fiercely. In addition, Eighth Prince Li Yan also has ambitions for the throne and is said to have the support of several dukes and powerful civil officials, so he should not be underestimated.

　　Throughout the dynasties, the fight for the throne among princes was the most dangerous. The three princes above have all sent people to win over Prince Jin, but Prince Jin still looks as if it has nothing to do with him and acts very cautiously. Now, Princess Yuling has attached herself to a force under the crown prince. This matter could be a big deal or a small one, so we have to pay attention to it.

　　"I understand, Uncle Zhuang. After I go back, I will report to my father and then declare to the public that I did not encounter such a thing. I believe that the warrior of the Zhao family will not dare to frame me. Besides, the Shenwei Training Camp will be opened soon. Once I enter the camp, I will not be allowed to contact the outside world for half a year. I believe that this matter will not cause any waves and will be fine after some time." Nodding silently, Princess Yuling spoke slowly.

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yun, who was being carried by Princess Yuling's group of warrior followers, suddenly moved.

　　Chapter 74 Fang Xueyin

　　"You're awake!" At this moment, Zhou Yun was being carried on a wooden board by several warriors towards the post station. Seeing Zhou Yun wake up, Princess Yuling immediately came over and spoke to Zhou Yun.

　　In a daze, Zhou Yun only felt that his body was being placed on a stretcher-like board and moving forward. He didn't know where he was going. It was not until he heard the voice of Princess Yuling that Zhou Yun slowly opened his eyes.

　　As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhou Yun immediately saw the pretty face of Princess Yuling, and except for Jun Yao and his sister Zhou Xue, this was the first time in his life that Zhou Yun had been so close to a woman. The flower-like delicate face, the lively eyes, the delicate skin, and the sweet breath between her breaths all made Zhou Yun feel embarrassed.

　　"Where is this?" Zhou Yun subconsciously shrank back and slightly increased the distance between himself and Princess Yuling.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's shy movements and the hint of embarrassment in his eyes, Princess Yuling's smile became even more intense. She was already a 15-year-old girl, and she had some understanding of the relationship between men and women.

　　She naturally knew how beautiful she was. In fact, the royal family and the princely family, these orthodox descendants of the Li family, all had outstanding looks, and Princess Yuling was the best among the royal family, so naturally she was even more beautiful.

　　She had strict family education, and some of the nobles she met would pretend not to look at her when they saw her. It was the first time that Princess Yuling saw a boy who would blush and be shy when meeting her, which made her feel very novel and interesting.

　　In particular, this young man was so cruel when dealing with his enemies, but he was so embarrassed and ashamed when facing her.

　　"This is Xiqing Town. You are injured. We are going to carry you back to the post station for treatment." Princess Yuling smiled at Zhou Yun and spoke softly. After these two encounters, she no longer had any resentment towards Zhou Yun.

　　As soon as Princess Yuling finished speaking, Zhou Yun's expression stiffened. He then turned over and jumped off the wooden board.

　　When he landed, Zhou Yun immediately felt his steps were weak, but it was much better than a quarter of an hour ago. The wounds on his body were no longer bleeding, and the blood and energy in his body had recovered a little. Now there was no problem with continuing on his journey.

　　"Thank you very much, young lady, and all the brothers for saving me. I have some urgent matters at home, and human lives are at stake. I really cannot stay here for long. I will thank you all later." Zhou Yun's heart immediately became anxious because his sister was still suffering from the poison of the Soul-Locking Incense.

　　After leaving a hurried word, Zhou Yun turned over and started running. After a few jumps, he disappeared into the street.

　　"Hey! Hey! Don't worry, I'll send you a fast horse when we get back to the post station!" Seeing Zhou Yun running away, Princess Yuling immediately shouted.

　　But Zhou Yun, who was far away, turned a deaf ear to Princess Yuling's requests to stay, and his nimble figure soon disappeared into the night.

　　"This ungrateful bastard! He saved him out of kindness but didn't even leave his name. He even said he would thank you later! Don't let me see you again, or I will hang you on the flagpole in the capital as a warning to everyone!" Seeing that Zhou Yun had gone far away, Princess Yuling stomped her feet fiercely and spoke with a pout.

　　Seeing the look on Princess Yuling's face, Zhuang Xian and several other warriors looked at each other and smiled bitterly with helplessness.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun had already run out of Xiqing Town. While running, Zhou Yun felt as if there was a condensed source of blood and qi between his chest and abdomen, which was constantly replenishing his energy. This feeling was like the blood coagulation pill that Lin Juntian had given him at the beginning, but it seemed a little different.

　　Knowing that this must be the elixir given to him by the young girl and the people around her, even though they didn't say a few words in total, Zhou Yun still felt a little grateful to the girl.

　　Although there were some minor conflicts when they first met, this time in Xiqing Town, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of this girl and the warriors around her, he might have been in real danger.

　　Now, the man in black has retreated, Zhao Guang died, and he has recovered from his injuries after taking their medicine. If he can get back to Heyang in time to save his sister Zhou Xue, although he didn't ask her name, Zhou Yun knew that he owed the girl a huge favor.

　　"I will definitely repay this favor in the future." Although he did not remember the girl's name, Zhou Yun knew that if they were destined to, they would definitely meet in the future.

　　While he was thinking, Zhou Yun had already run out of the east gate of Xiqing Town. Passing by the stable outside the city, Zhou Yun directly threw a purple gold coin out, chose a horse with plenty of energy and blood, rode on it, and rode away.

　　Zhou Yun was rushing back to Heyang City at full speed. At this time in the royal capital, a team of carriages had already stopped outside the residence of the Duke of Pingnan. The carriage stopped, and a veiled woman in white quickly got off the carriage and walked straight into the Duke's residence.

　　"Greetings, the noble lady of Marquis Qingshan." The woman in white was not stopped from entering such an important place as the mansion of Duke Pingnan. Instead, the people at the door of the mansion saluted her respectfully.

　　It seemed that the woman in white was very familiar with the Mansion of Duke Pingnan. After entering the mansion, she turned directly to the west side of the mansion, passed through a series of quiet paths, and soon came to Lanxin Garden where Lin Junyao lived.

　　There was no obstruction along the way and the woman in white walked directly into Lanxin Garden.

　　At this moment, in the hall of Lanxinyuan, brother and sister Lin Juntian and Lin Junyao were waiting there. When they saw the woman in white walk in, they immediately stood up.

　　"Xue Yin, you're back." Lin Juntian walked over and spoke gently.

　　"Sister Xueyin!" Compared to Lin Juntian's calmness, Lin Junyao's reaction was much more enthusiastic. She ran up two steps and grabbed the hand of the woman in white. Tears welled up in her eyes.

　　The woman in white was none other than Fang Xueyin, the daughter of the Marquis of Qingshan, who was engaged to Lin Juntian. She was only 19 years old and was proficient in medicine, having long since earned a reputation as the best doctor in the capital. Now she followed her father, the Marquis of Qingshan, Fang Jing, to serve in the imperial court's northern army, treating soldiers and armored soldiers.

　　I received a hummingbird message from Lin Juntian the day before yesterday, so I hurried back.

　　"Brother Tian." Fang Xueyin nodded to Lin Juntian beside her and greeted him softly. Then she patted Lin Junyao's hand and whispered, "Junyao, I already know about your situation from the letter. Don't worry too much. Your brother and I will leave now. Zhou Yun's sister should be able to be treated and come back. She will be fine."

　　Ever since she learned that Zhou Xue was poisoned, Lin Junyao has been worried and has hardly had a good rest for two days. Now that Fang Xueying has returned, Lin Junyao can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

　　"Sister Xueyin, I'll leave the matters of Heyang City to you. Zhou Yun is really important to me. If her sister has an accident, Zhou Yun will definitely be very sad. If he is sad, I will be very sad too." Protected by her family since childhood and well-educated, Lin Junyao has an extremely gentle and kind temperament. She doesn't have the slightest bit of willfulness and capriciousness, and she makes people love her.

　　Fang Xueyin had been engaged to Lin Juntian early on, and she loved Lin Junyao like her own sister.

　　Gently holding Lin Junyao's hand, Fang Xueyin said, "Junyao, don't worry. Your brother and I will set off now and will arrive in Heyang in two days at most. It's still in time to treat Zhou Xue."

　　"Well, then I'll leave it to brother and sister Xueyin." As she spoke, Lin Junyao's eyes turned red again. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and whimpered.

　　Nodding solemnly, Fang Xueying and Lin Juntian looked at each other, then turned and left Lin Junyao's house.

　　Already knowing Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying's next travel plan, the servants in the Duke's Mansion had already prepared the carriages and horses.

　　As soon as they left the Duke's Mansion, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying immediately got into the carriage, and the entire convoy set off, heading at full speed towards Heyang City.

　　She was already sitting in the carriage and there were no servants around, so Fang Xueying took off her veil.

　　When the veil was removed, a face as delicate as snow was immediately revealed, with eyebrows like green clouds, eyes like autumn pools, and a little red and smooth lips. With her black cloud-like hair and smooth skin, she formed a pair of pure and beautiful faces.

　　As she had been in the army for many years, Fang Xueyin was used to wearing a veil. Now, in the carriage, with only her fiancée opposite her, she naturally had to take off the veil. Once she took off the veil, the entire space in the carriage suddenly became brighter.

　　"Xue Yin, thank you for your hard work." Looking at the woman beside him, Lin Juntian smiled gently and extended his hand.

　　A blush flashed across her face, Fang Xueyin raised her jade hand and placed it in Lin Juntian's palm, and then her upper body leaned slightly towards Lin Juntian beside her, leaning on Lin Juntian's shoulder...

　　The two have been engaged for four years and have always gotten along well. The time for them to get married is not far away.

　　Although they haven't seen each other much in the past two years, the tacit understanding between them is still the same as before.

　　After a long journey, Fang Xueyin rested for a while on Lin Juntian's shoulder before sitting up straight.

　　"Brother Tian, ​​was Zhou Yun chosen by Junyao herself? If he was the son of an external servant, there would probably be a lot of twists and turns." In fact, since he is already a member of the Lin family, Fang Xueying would naturally consider Lin Junyao.

　　Speaking of this, Lin Juntian's face also had a trace of melancholy, "Yes, later I asked Jun Yao, that Zhou Yun should be the one Jun Yao met when she was young and was returning from the South China Sea Barracks and encountered an assassination attempt. After that, I kept communicating and meeting Zhou Yun, and fell in love with him over time."

　　Knowing that Lin Junyao is a person of temperament, not greedy for power and wealth, and kind-hearted, it is normal for her to make such a choice. After pondering for a moment, Fang Xueyin turned to ask, "What did my uncle say?"

　　Although he already knew Lin Juntian's attitude, that he wanted to see how Zhou Yun grew up before making a decision, the final decision on this matter still depended on how Lin Juntian's father handled it.

　　"Father should have known about this, but he has not expressed his opinion yet. I'm afraid he knows that Zhou Yun has been admitted to the Shenwei training camp and wants to observe him for a while. In addition, Jun Yao is devoted to Zhou Yun, and father has always been particularly fond of Jun Yao. I guess he doesn't want to make Jun Yao sad." Looking up, Lin Juntian spoke slowly.

　　Nodding silently, Fang Xueyin said, "I understand. No matter what, let's cure Zhou Xue first. At least we can't let Jun Yao feel guilty."

　　They have spent quite a lot of time together, and Fang Xueying understands Lin Junyao's personality. Although this matter has nothing to do with Lin Junyao, Fang Xueying knows that if Zhou Yun's sister died, Lin Junyao will always feel guilty.

　　"This is the only way. Thank you for your hard work." After holding Fang Xueying's hand, Lin Juntian spoke slowly.

　　With a slight smile, Fang Xueyin stopped talking, closed her eyes again, and leaned lightly on Lin Juntian's shoulder.

　　Chapter 75 Return to Heyang

　　Under the scorching sun, a fast horse was galloping forward at full speed. The man on the horse was ragged and bloodstained. Under the sun's rays, the dried blood emitted a sour smell. Everyone on the official road covered their mouths and noses unconsciously, but the man on the horse was completely unaware.

　　This person was Zhou Yun. After coming out of Xiqing Town, although Zhou Yun had been on the road and consumed a lot of energy, the pill in his body continued to provide energy, and Zhou Yun's physical condition did not continue to deteriorate.

　　Worried about his sister Zhou Xue's condition, Zhou Yun would not stay for even a moment, not to mention that he could still hold on now. Now he just wanted to return to Heyang and be with his sister Zhou Xue.

　　Along the way, Zhou Yun kept urging the horse forward, and replaced it with a new one when the horse was exhausted. It only took one night and half a day for Zhou Yun to enter the scope of Heyang City.

　　From afar, the magnificent city walls of Heyang City have come into Zhou Yun's sight.

　　"Sister, wait for me, I will definitely save you." Trying to purse his lips, Zhou Yun once again urged the horse under his crotch to run at full speed, stirring up a cloud of dust on the official road.

　　call!

　　A gust of wind passed by, and Zhou Yun rushed directly into the gate of Heyang City.

　　"Hey! Stop! Stop!" Seeing Zhou Yun's horrific appearance covered in blood, the guards at the gate of Heyang City wanted to stop Zhou Yun for inspection, but they didn't expect Zhou Yun to rush in directly.

　　"Hurry up and chase him! Stop him!" Zhou Yun looked horrible at the moment. Not only was he covered in blood, but he also had a hint of murderous intent. If such a person were allowed to break into the downtown area, if he suddenly attacked and hurt someone, the consequences would be disastrous. Seeing Zhou Yun rushing into the city, the captain of the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate immediately ordered a chase.

　　Several soldiers guarding the city also mounted their horses and chased after Zhou Yun.

　　Originally, after winning the first place in the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination, Zhou Yun's appearance had been remembered by many people in Heyang City. However, Zhou Yun was now covered in wounds and blood, making him difficult to recognize, which led to such an incident.

　　However, just because the guards guarding the city could not recognize Zhou Yun does not mean that other people could not recognize Zhou Yun.

　　Seeing a group of soldiers chasing after them, the two men who looked like warriors stopped immediately.

　　"Was that Zhou Yun just now?" The two men looked at each other, and one of the warriors in blue asked uncertainly.

　　"It seems so. It looks very similar. But didn't the patriarch send two warriors at the initial stage of muscle training to kill him? I heard that there were warriors sent by several other noble families as well. How could Zhou Yun come back?" Another warrior muttered to himself after taking a puzzled look at the direction where Zhou Yun left.

　　"No matter what, report back to the head of the family first, and also send this news to the other noble families. Zhou Yun dares to return to Heyang at this time. He really wants his life to last." With a chuckle, the blue-clothed warrior spoke with a hint of evil.

　　Naturally, he knew what kind of situation he would face after returning to Heyang, but Zhou Yun no longer cared about these situations. Now the only thing in his mind was the safety of his sister Zhou Xue.

　　Having lived in Heyang City for more than ten years, Zhou Yun was familiar with all the streets, big and small. Riding his horse on the street, he came directly to Li's Mansion.

　　When he was near Li's house, Zhou Yun dismounted and rushed in.

　　"Who are you coming?" Seeing Zhou Yun, a man covered in blood, rushing in recklessly, the guards at the gate of Li's mansion immediately shouted nervously and drew out the swords hanging on their waists instantly.

　　Ever since Zhou Xue was attacked in the Li Mansion, the Li family's guard level was suddenly raised to the highest level. All the Li family warriors were called back to closely guard the Li family mansion.

　　Although he was anxious, Zhou Yun also knew that it was not appropriate to force his way in now. He stopped and said quickly, "I am Zhou Yun. If you don't recognize me, please call Li Yi out."

　　After a period of training, especially after entering the muscle training realm, Zhou Yun already had a sense of majesty. Coupled with the murderous aura brought by this bloody battle, people dared not underestimate him.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the warriors guarding the Li family's gate looked at each other, and one of them immediately ran inside.

　　After only a cup of tea, Li Yi ran out quickly.

　　As soon as he saw the bloody man standing at the door, Li Yi immediately stopped in surprise.

　　Is this still Zhou Yun? In just over a month, Zhou Yun's temperament has become more mature than before, and his humble aura has decreased a little. He is like a sharpened sword, becoming extremely sharp, and even a bit chilling!

　　"Zhou Yun, what's wrong with you?" Although Zhou Yun has changed a lot, Li Yi still does not have the slightest dislike for Zhou Yun.

　　"Let's talk about it later. Where is my sister? Take me to see her." Zhou Yun naturally knew how terrible he looked now. He had already suffered many such looks along the way, but now these things were not what Zhou Yun cared about most.

　　Knowing that now was not the time to talk about these things, Li Yi did not ask any more questions and directly took Zhou Yun into the Li family mansion.

　　Instead of going deep into the center of the Li family mansion, Li Yi took Zhou Yun and walked directly along the outer wall, and soon arrived outside the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived.

　　"Sister is still here?" Seeing the small courtyard, Zhou Yun recognized it at a glance as the small courtyard that Li Yi arranged for Zhou Xue, but Zhou Yun did not expect Zhou Xue to still live here at this time. Logically speaking, after something like this happened, Li Yi should have arranged Zhou Xue in the core area of ​​the Li family mansion, so that it would be safer.

　　With a hint of embarrassment on his face, Li Yi apologized, "Xiaoxue's poison is very strong. Anyone who touches her body will be infected. My two warriors were poisoned just because they carried her out of the room filled with poisonous gas. Although their condition is not as serious as Xiaoxue's, they are also in danger. So Xiaoxue has been staying in the wing room these days and has not moved."

　　After hearing what Li Yi said, Zhou Yun frowned immediately and clenched his fists tightly. He did not blame Li Yi, but resented Zhao Guang for coming up with such a vicious idea.

　　Although Zhao Guang is dead, the black-clad warrior is still at large.

　　"Just wait, Zhao family. One day I will ask you to repay this debt." Zhou Yun said silently in his heart while walking.

　　Soon, the two entered the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived and came to the room where Zhou Xue was staying.

　　"Zhou Yun, you probably don't know how to treat it. Try to control your emotions and don't get close to Xiaoxue easily. If you get infected with this poison, Xiaoxue will resent me." Before entering the room, Li Yi stopped Zhou Yun and spoke seriously.

　　After hearing Li Yi's words, Zhou Yun turned around and looked deeply at Li Yi beside him.

　　Compared to the last time they parted in Heyang City, Li Yi is now much thinner, and his haggard expression is only on the surface. This time when they met, Li Yi seemed to have lost his soul, and his vitality was much weaker than before.

　　"Zhou Yun, Xiaoxue's poison cannot be cured. I want you to come back just to let you see Xiaoxue again. You must understand her feelings and don't do impulsive things. Do you understand?" After a few days, Li Yi has accepted the fact that Zhou Xue cannot be saved. Although it is extremely painful, Li Yi still knows his responsibility.

　　If Zhou Xue is no longer around, he will take good care of Zhou Yun on her behalf.

　　Naturally, Zhou Yun could feel Li Yi's thoughts, and a touch of emotion also arose in his heart.

　　Turning around, Zhou Yun held Li Yi's hand and said solemnly, "Li Yi, I know how you feel about me, thank you so much. But don't worry, I will never let you go like this."

　　"Do you have any solution?!" After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

　　If possible, he certainly didn't want anything to happen to Zhou Xue, even if there was only a glimmer of hope.

　　Before returning, Zhou Yun already had some idea of ​​how to treat Zhou Xue's condition, but he was still not sure whether his method would be effective. He nodded silently and said, "I'm not sure yet, but there shouldn't be too many mistakes. Li Yi, arrange for someone to guard this room and don't let anyone approach. If I don't come out myself, no one should go in and disturb me."

　　"Okay! I will definitely do it and won't let anyone disturb you!" Since Zhou Yun said this, it means that he really has a way. Regardless of whether he can really succeed or not, at least things will develop in a good direction.

　　Although he never knew that Zhou Yun had the ability to heal diseases, Li Yi knew Zhou Yun. If Zhou Yun was not sure about it, he would never say that.

　　His mood suddenly became much lighter. Li Yi said to Zhou Yun seriously, "Xiao Yun, although Xiao Xue is your sister and you should save her, I still want to say that as long as you can save Xiao Xue, I, Li Yi, will definitely remember your kindness."

　　Seeing Li Yi's serious look, Zhou Yun nodded seriously. Zhou Yun knew that his sister had not married yet, and once she married Li Yi, Li Yi would be her closest person, and at that time, his younger brother would not be able to compare.

　　"Don't worry." After leaving these words, Zhou Yun resolutely turned around and walked into the room.

　　"Zhou Yun, it's up to you." After standing silently for a long time, Li Yi sighed slowly.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun, who entered the room, had already seen Zhou Xue lying on the bed. As soon as the figure in white clothes on the bed came into his sight, Zhou Yun's heart was immediately gripped. Zhou Xue's face had always been extremely beautiful, but now, Zhou Yun could see from afar the dark circles surrounding Zhou Xue's face, as well as her lifeless state.

　　It has been four days since Zhou Xue was poisoned. She has entered an extremely dangerous state. She has completely lost consciousness and her vitality is decreasing. Standing by the bed, Zhou Yun can still feel his sister's weak blood, but he cannot feel her consciousness.

　　As if her soul was imprisoned, the sister in front of her was in a state similar to that of a zombie.

　　Seeing Zhou Xue's miserable appearance, Zhou Yun raised his head and tried to suppress the tears in his eyes. He then sat down on the bed, stretched out his right hand, and gently held Zhou Xue's wrist.

　　Chapter 76: Strange Threads

　　In the room, Zhou Yun had already started to treat Zhou Xue. Actually, Zhou Yun didn't know any medical skills at all. He just relied on the mysterious piece in his hand. During this training trip, Zhou Yun was also poisoned, but all of them were absorbed and dissolved by the mysterious piece. Now that his sister Zhou Xue was poisoned, Zhou Yun also wanted to use this piece to treat her.

　　Taking out the small piece from the space ring and gently placing it on the back of his hand, Zhou Yun rested his hand on Zhou Xue's wrist, feeling it quietly.

　　Soon, a slightly spicy smell came up along Zhou Yun's skin. Feeling this spicy smell, Zhou Yun's mind immediately became dazed, but soon, the dazed feeling quietly disappeared, and the strange spicy feeling began to flow from the depths of his consciousness through some mysterious veins to the small piece.

　　"It seems that this little piece is really effective!" Feeling the changes in his body, Zhou Yun's face immediately showed a burst of joy.

　　Sitting there quietly, Zhou Yun began to wait patiently for the toxins in Zhou Xue's body to be absorbed.

　　Time passed quietly, and Zhou Xue's condition gradually improved. An hour later, the dark blue color on Zhou Xue's face had faded a little. After confirming that the small piece was effective, Zhou Yun also began to pay attention to some other things.

　　The poison in Zhou Xue's body was extremely strange. After entering Zhou Yun's body, it always wanted to attack Zhou Yun's brain and directly penetrate into the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness. After being attracted by that small piece, its walking path was also extremely strange.

　　Although he felt that the flow of the poison was a little strange at the beginning, Zhou Yun was filled with joy that Zhou Xue could be cured, so he didn't pay much attention to these changes. But now, Zhou Xue's complexion has gradually improved, and Zhou Yun has begun to pay attention to some differences.

　　In the previous few times of poisoning, the toxins in Zhou Yun's body were absorbed by the mysterious little piece and ran along the meridians of the human body. This time, although the toxins that entered Zhou Yun's body also ran regularly along a certain meridian, this meridian was obviously not the meridian connected to the Dantian Qi Hai, but another set of deeper meridians.

　　This vein is extremely magical. When the venom runs along the vein, Zhou Yun always feels a faint itchy sensation on his body. Although his body always feels a little uncomfortable, he feels smooth and comfortable inside, as if a mysterious door has been opened, making Zhou Yun feel much more sensitive than usual.

　　Although he felt this magic, Zhou Yun had no idea how these toxins operated and could only feel it silently.

　　As time passed, Zhou Yun gradually immersed himself in this experience.

　　It has been three hours since Zhou Yun returned to Heyang City. The sky gradually darkened, and a bright moon rose obliquely and hung in the sky above Heyang City, which was particularly beautiful.

　　At this moment, in the core area of ​​the Qin family's mansion in the city, a slender and beautiful figure was walking step by step towards the main hall of the Qin family.

　　This woman was none other than Qin Lan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family. She was holding a letter in her hand. Qin Lan's brows were slightly frowned, and she was thinking about something .

　　The Qin family was a typical military family in the Tianyuan Dynasty. The head of the family, Qin Yuan, had been a general in the Tianyuan Dynasty army. He had been a soldier all his life and returned to Heyang only after he retired from the army. Qin Yuan's two sons, Qin Wufeng and Qin Wuduan, were also already among the generals and had been away from home for many years.

　　Qin Gang, the son of Qin Wufeng, the eldest son of the Qin family, follows his father to serve in the army. Now at the age of 22, he has become a commander. Qin Wuduan has no sons but only an 18-year-old daughter, Qin Lan, who currently stays in the Qin family.

　　Usually, the old patriarch of the Qin family is in seclusion, and the huge Qin family is entirely managed by Qin Lan. Although everything is in order, such a magnificent Qin family mansion is always short of family members and seems very deserted.

　　For example, the main hall of the Qin family looks very deserted because the old patriarch of the Qin family has been in seclusion for many years.

　　Squeak.

　　Walking outside the main hall of the Qin family, Qin Lan directly pushed open the wooden door, walked in and then turned back to close the door. The old patriarch of the Qin family, Qin Yuan, was in seclusion, and there was no servant around the main hall, just to avoid disturbing the old patriarch.

　　Qin Lan hasn't seen Qin Yuan for a long time since Qin Yuan went into seclusion. Although Qin Lan knew that Qin Yuan was in a critical period of cultivation and should not be disturbed, today's incident was too serious, so she had to come and ask her grandfather how to deal with it.

　　Passing through the main hall of the Qin family, Qin Lan slowly walked into the back hall. She turned the corner of the screen in the middle slightly, and a secret door immediately opened from the side of the wall.

　　Qin Lan lit a fire stick and slowly walked in through the secret door.

　　Behind the secret door is an extremely deep passage, winding and winding, with many forks in the middle, like a huge underground palace. This is a secret setting of the Qin family. When encountering danger, this huge underground palace is the last guarantee to protect the Qin family.

　　Any wrong route will be filled with traps and mechanisms, but as a member of the Qin family, Qin Lan is naturally very familiar with the correct path.

　　Holding the fire starter, Qin Lan walked quickly and in just an incense stick's time she had arrived at the hall deep underground.

　　The entire hall is made of stone, with eight stone sculptures of monsters placed in eight directions. There is an iron chain extending from the mouth of each monster sculpture, connecting to the stone platform in the center of the hall.

　　On the stone platform, a strong figure was sitting there, with his legs crossed, his five hearts facing the sky, breathing quietly.

　　The old man on the stone platform was Qin Yuan, the patriarch of the Qin family. Although he was over seventy years old, Qin Yuan looked very good, with a ruddy face and an upright figure. He did not look old at all and looked as if he was only in his early fifties.

　　The interval between Qin Yuan's breaths was very long. As he inhaled, the chains in the mouths of the eight stone monsters began to vibrate, as if they were transferring some energy to the central stone platform. With every breath, Qin Yuan's body became stronger in an instant.

　　This is not just the apparent majesty, but the result of the continuous accumulation of majestic momentum.

　　When Qin Yuan exhaled, the chains in the mouths of all the monsters would calm down, as if they were waiting for the next transfer of power.

　　Although she had already entered the hall, Qin Lan did not speak rashly, but waited quietly. Although Qin Lan always had a delicate and charming image in front of outsiders, and even had some unpleasant rumors, in front of Qin Yuan, Qin Lan was well-behaved enough.

　　Finally, after an hour, the old man on the stone platform finally let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

　　"Lan'er, is there anything urgent?" Qin Yuan, who had already noticed Qin Lan's arrival, was not in a hurry to talk to Qin Lan. Instead, he practiced step by step while secretly observing Qin Lan's expression.

　　Standing there, although Qin Lan did not make any noise to disturb him, her expression was always rather nervous, which made Qin Yuan realize that today's events might not be simple.

　　Hearing Qin Yuan's words, Qin Lan's expression immediately brightened, and she hurriedly said, "Grandpa, something big happened. Zhao Guang went to Xiqing Town to hunt Zhou Yun, but was killed by Zhou Yun instead."

　　The reason why she rushed to see Qin Yuan so anxiously was because Qin Lan received the letter from the Zhao family and got the news. Although the battle between Zhao Guang and Zhou Yun was at night and in the dilapidated urban area of ​​Xiqing Town, after dawn, the hellish scene still caused a sensation in the entire Xiqing Town.

　　The news of Zhao Guang's death was immediately sent to the provincial capital of Tianhe. The Zhao family was furious and sent a letter to the Qin family, requesting them to join forces to kill Zhou Yun.

　　But before, Qin Lan had listened to Qin Yuan's words and didn't bother Zhou Yun, but now the situation is different. If she doesn't deal with Zhou Yun, it's equivalent to opposing the Zhao family. It's really difficult to decide on this matter.

　　"Is there such a thing?" Qin Yuan's eyes immediately shone with light upon hearing Qin Lan's words, and there was a hint of disbelief in his tone, "It's true that Zhao Guang is a waste, but this time he went with Shadow, and there were also a large number of warriors from several other noble families. How could Zhou Yun kill him?"

　　With a trace of surprise on her pretty face, Qin Lan said slowly, "Zhou Yun used a trick to move his shadow away from Zhao Guang, but he collided with Zhao Guang. In just over a month, Zhou Yun's cultivation level improved rapidly. Under the siege of six or seven tendon training warriors and a dozen bone training warriors, Zhou Yun did not die, but killed all of them and crippled Zhao Guang."

　　"After Shadow came back, he fought with Shadow again. At the critical moment, Princess Yuling, who came to Xiqing Town to search for treasure, appeared. Shadow had to retreat, and Zhao Guang was also killed by Zhou Yun."

　　Although no one dared to watch openly during the tough battle that day, there were still some spies secretly. Moreover, such a big thing could not be kept secret.

　　After hearing what Qin Lan said, Qin Yuan raised his head slightly and sighed, "Lan'er, this boy is not simple. You should immediately reply to the Zhao family and tell them that our Qin family is willing to join forces with him to kill Zhou Yun together, but in actual operations, you can just work but not put in any effort. In addition, at the right time, you can secretly express your goodwill to Zhou Yun."

　　As soon as Qin Yuan finished speaking, Qin Lan immediately understood her grandfather's opinion on how to deal with this matter, which was not to offend either side, to continue dragging it out, and then quietly wait for new developments in the situation.

　　The Zhao family will never give up after Zhao Guang is killed, and will definitely use all means to deal with Zhou Yun. After a period of time, the outcome of the fight between Zhou Yun and the Zhao family will become clear, and that is when the Qin family will show their true position.

　　"Lan'er understands. I dare not disturb grandpa's practice. Lan'er will take her leave first." All the questions that needed to be asked had been asked, and Qin Lan also understood how to deal with the next things. Not daring to delay Qin Yuan's practice any longer, Qin Lan respectfully took her leave.

　　"Hmm." Qin Yuan let out a faint hum and closed his eyes.

　　Chapter 77: Strong Attack

　　A day passed quietly, Zhou Yun was still treating Zhou Xue in the wing room. When Zhou Yun started treating Zhou Xue, he had told her that no one was allowed to disturb her during the treatment. Li Yi did not delegate such an important matter to others, but stayed in the courtyard by himself, not leaving.

　　Standing quietly in the center of the courtyard, Li Yi's eyes were still a little bloodshot, but he was still staring at the door without blinking. This time, Zhou Yun's treatment of Zhou Xue contained all his hope. At this time, no matter how tired he was, Li Yi didn't want to leave.

　　"Hand over Zhou Yun!"

　　"Cut the murderer into pieces!"

　　"Revenge for the warriors who died unjustly!"

　　Just as Li Yi was waiting anxiously, a loud shouting came from outside the wall.

　　Hearing this voice, Li Yi was shocked and immediately withdrew his gaze.

　　"Young Master, it's bad. Dozens of warriors have gathered outside the door and are demanding that we hand over Zhou Yun!" At this time, a servant from the Li family also came running over and spoke to Li Yi as he ran.

　　Although he is just a servant in the Li family, the only big family in Heyang City, this servant has seen many big scenes. But when he ran in today, there was obvious panic on his face. Seeing the expression of this servant, Li Yi knew that there might be trouble.

　　"What's going on?" Li Yi hurried forward and asked.

　　After taking two quick breaths, the servant said, "Master, it is said that Master Zhou Yun slaughtered more than 20 warriors from the four noble families of Heyang City in Xiqing Town, Nanshan Province, and also killed Zhao Guang, the second son of the Zhao family in Tianhe Province. Now the old patriarch of the Zhao family has come in person, and brought a large number of warriors from the three noble families of Wang, Xu, and Chen in Heyang City. They have blocked the gate and demanded that we hand over Zhou Yun."

　　Zhou Yun's return to Heyang City caused too much noise, and the nobles of Heyang City knew about it in a short time. Within a day, the news that Zhou Yun had killed all the warriors sent by the nobles of Heyang City in Xiqing Town and that Zhao Guang was dead had spread, and a storm had quietly brewed.

　　Upon learning that his grandson had died, Zhao Shuo, the old man of the Zhao family, was furious and actually came in person with a large number of powerful warriors to avenge Zhao Guang.

　　After hearing what the servant said, Li Yi immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. From the time Zhou Yun came back yesterday until now, Li Yi has been paying attention to Zhou Yun's treatment of Zhou Xue, and had no time to ask about Zhou Yun's experience during his disappearance.

　　Especially when Zhou Yun came back, he was covered in wounds, obviously having experienced a horrific battle, but Li Yi did not ask him who he had a conflict with.

　　Now it seems that Zhou Yun has already made a huge mess, but how could Zhou Yun do this? Could it be that someone else was framing him?

　　"Go and ask my father to come over quickly. Also, gather all the warriors to protect this courtyard. If the enemy tries to break in, even if we have to fight to the death, no one can disturb Zhou Yun." Li Yi made the decision at the first moment.

　　No matter what, Zhou Yun would never be handed over. The purpose of inviting the old man of the Li family was to intimidate these nobles who came to ask for help. If the old man of the Li family was unable to intimidate these people, then they would have no choice but to fight to the death.

　　After giving the instructions, Li Yi walked out. It was so chaotic outside that Li Yi had to go there himself to fight it.

　　Passing through the front yard of the small courtyard, Li Yi had already seen the noisy scene outside. More than 40 warriors were clamoring and shouting slogans such as "Hand over Zhou Yun and severely punish the murderer." In front of the crowd, an old man in a red brocade robe was standing there, his face full of anger.

　　Needless to say, this old man must be Zhao Shuo, the former patriarch of the Zhao family.

　　In addition to Zhao Shuo, the heads of the Wang, Xu, and Chen families in Heyang City also came in person, and brought a large number of warriors with them.

　　Outside the door, the ones who were really making noise and shouting were the minions, while the truly powerful warriors were standing quietly behind the heads of several families, holding weapons, with cold and murderous looks on their faces. It was obvious that they were ready. As long as the leader, old man Zhao Shuo, gave the order, they would storm the Li family!

　　Seeing this scene, Li Yi's heart immediately tightened. These people came here with the intention of taking action!

　　"Everyone, I am Li Yi, the eldest son of the Li family. I wonder why you come here with weapons and shouting?" Although he was nervous, Li Yi still remained calm at the critical moment and walked out of the courtyard. Li Yi saluted slightly to the people in front of him and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

　　No matter what, Li Yi is still the eldest son of the only aristocratic family in Heyang City, and he must not lose his composure at any cost.

　　As soon as Li Yi asked the question, some warriors who were making noise in the back immediately shut up, and everyone turned their eyes to Zhao Shuo in the front.

　　Although he was already over 70 years old, this general like Zhao Shuo had a very high level of cultivation. He took two steady steps forward, and a mountain of pressure immediately spread out. Feeling this pressure, the warriors of the Li family could not help but retreat half a step. Li Yi's cultivation was low, and his body also involuntarily tended to retreat.

　　"Hmm!" Li Yi groaned, but remained calm. He bit his tongue hard, and the tip of his tongue was bitten. A trace of blood gushed out. The severe pain made Li Yi barely calm himself down and he did not retreat.

　　He knew in his heart that if he took a step back here, his momentum would be completely lost. Without the other side making a move, the warriors on the Li family's side would be defeated.

　　Sure enough, seeing that Li Yi, with such a low level of cultivation, could withstand the pressure and did not retreat, the psychological defenses of the Li family warriors that were about to collapse immediately stabilized. After all, the Li family is a big family. If these people really dare to force their way in, the trouble they cause will definitely not be easily dealt with.

　　A complicated look flashed across his face. Zhao Shuo took another step forward and said coldly, "My dear nephew, I came to Heyang not to be an enemy of the Li family. I just want you to hand over Zhou Yun. The other day in Xiqing Town, Nanshan Province, my son Zhao Guang was brutally killed by Zhou Yun, a lunatic. Not only was his head and body separated, but his entire skeleton was also smashed to pieces. If I can't kill this evil villain, I, Zhao Shuo, will never give up!"

　　As soon as Zhao Shuo said this, he immediately put himself on a moral high ground. His own child was killed, so Zhao Shuo had enough reasons to come here.

　　"Yes, the seven warriors of our Wang family were also brutally killed by Zhou Yun. Most of them were chopped into several pieces. The cruelty of Zhou Yun's methods was appalling. If he is not killed, it will surely lead to disasters in the future!" After Zhao Shuo, Wang Shihang, the head of the Wang family, also spoke angrily.

　　"And there are warriors from our Chen family!"

　　"The same goes for the Xu family. Moreover, Zhou Yun also killed Han Long, the patriarch of the Han family. A commoner actually dared to slaughter the patriarch of a prestigious family. According to the law, he should be torn into pieces!"

　　"Hand over Zhou Yun!"

　　"Severely punish Zhou Yun, this evil man!"

　　After the heads of several families expressed their opinions, all the warriors started to clamor again. Moreover, this time everyone took a step forward together, and each warrior had already grasped his weapon.

　　The meaning of this is very clear. As long as Li Yi does not voluntarily hand over Zhou Yun, they will take action the next moment!

　　Although he was born in a wealthy family and had experienced many big battles, Li Yi had never seen such a scene. Among the crowd opposite him was Zhao Shuo, who was also from a wealthy family and was the head of the family, and there were also three noble families in Heyang City.

　　And according to Li Yi's observation, what these warriors said was actually true. In addition to anger, Li Yi could even feel a sense of fear in the eyes of these family heads. That was the fear of Zhou Yun!

　　"Could it be that Zhou Yun really killed so many warriors by himself?" Suddenly, a shocking thought came to Li Yi's mind.

　　When he left Heyang, Zhou Yun was just a weak martial arts exam candidate whose cultivation had just reached the bone training stage. How did Zhou Yun grow to such a level in such a short time?

　　Although he was shocked, Li Yi knew that now was not the time to think about these questions. "Everyone, Zhou Yun is indeed in my house, but you don't know that I am engaged to Zhou Yun's sister Zhou Xue. If there is no solid evidence, I will definitely not hand Zhou Yun over to you."

　　"Moreover, a few days ago, a warrior broke into my Li Mansion and committed a crime. This matter has not been investigated yet. I have invited officials from Heyang Prefecture to come. The right and wrong still need to be determined by the government. Unless the government makes a judgment and orders me to hand over Zhou Yun, I will never hand Zhou Yun over to you!"

　　Trying hard to suppress the nervousness in his heart, Li Yi spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.

　　"So, nephew, are you ready to protect Zhou Yun at all costs, regardless of the pain of losing my son?" His face turned cold in an instant, and Zhao Shuo stretched out his hands from his sleeves and spoke slowly.

　　This was clearly a sign of preparation for action. Zhao Shuo just stretched his hands out of his sleeves, and a pressure far stronger than before immediately surged out.

　　Feeling Zhao Shuo's action, the warriors from various noble families in Heyang City behind him also revealed their weapons. Suddenly, a cold light flashed under the sun, and the people who were illuminated by it felt cold in their hearts!

　　Facing Zhao Shuo's questioning, Li Yi was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer. After all, he was just a young man in his twenties, and it was already very good to be able to perform like this.

　　"Speak!" Without giving Li Yi any time to think, Zhao Shuo asked fiercely again, and this time there was also some sonic attack from warriors. Under such an impact, Li Yi finally couldn't help but retreat half a step!

　　"No!" Although he couldn't withstand the pressure this time, Li Yi's mind was still extremely firm. Looking at Zhao Shuo with burning eyes, Li Yi spoke resolutely!

　　Zhao Shuo, the old patriarch of the Zhao family, laughed out of anger and slowly raised his hands.

　　"In this case, Zhao has no choice but to offend."

　　"Go in and kill them!"

　　With a loud command, Zhao Shuo took the lead and raised his hand to grab Li Yi's throat!

　　"Young Master!" As soon as Zhao Shuo made a move, an overwhelming momentum immediately came over. The warriors of the Li family wanted to save Li Yi, but found that they could do nothing.

　　At this moment, a calm and peaceful force suddenly appeared and pushed Li Yi to the side half a step, and he actually avoided the terrifying attack of Zhao Shuo, who had already reached the level of internal organ blood exchange!

　　"Relying on their strength to bully the weak and bully the small, are the Zhao family of Tianhe City really so shameless?" A teasing voice came from afar.

　　Following the sound, a man and a woman who looked like fairies in the distance immediately came into everyone's sight. Seeing the attire of the man and woman, the warriors from various families who were blocking the entrance of Zhou Xue's courtyard suddenly felt a chill in their hearts!

　　Chapter 78: Shocked Back

　　The man and woman who were walking slowly towards them were extremely handsome. Whether in their demeanor, appearance or temperament, they were among the best among men.

　　The man was wearing a blue brocade robe, a jade crown on his head, and a belt around his waist. On the brocade robe, a peacock was flapping its wings as if it was about to fly. His face was resolute but peaceful, as if he could control everything.

　　The woman next to the young man was as beautiful as a flower, with beautiful eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a delicate mouth and a delicate nose. Her long hair like dark clouds fluttered in the wind. The white clothes she wore set off her slender figure, which made her absolutely beautiful.

　　The most incredible thing is that the golden pendant on the woman's waist is actually a small seal of a tiger descending a mountain!

　　The Tianyuan Dynasty has a strict hierarchy, and clothing represents one's status. The peacock on the chest of the man in blue already shows that he is from a noble family, while the golden tiger pendant around the woman's waist means that she belongs to a marquis' family with active military commanders.

　　A couple of this status would rarely be seen even in the provincial capital of Tianhe or even in the capital. And now, these two people actually appeared in Heyang City. How could this not shock people?

　　"Mr. Zhao, what... should we do?" Seeing the young couple, everyone who was about to take action was stunned, not knowing how to deal with it.

　　The status and position of these two people are so high that it is beyond their sight. They have never seen such people in their entire lives!

　　You know, apart from the royal family, there are only nine levels of nobles in the Tianyuan Dynasty from top to bottom, but these nine levels are divided into three clearly defined areas.

　　Princes, kings of different surnames and dukes are undoubtedly the first tier among the nobles, while dukes, marquises and earls are the second tier. Entering this tier means that one already has a title. Although it is not as good as the royal family, it is equally noble.

　　Although aristocratic families, prominent families and nobles are also very honorable in some small places, they do not have titles after all. Their status is not stable and their influence is much weaker. Now in Heyang City, they meet the son of a duke and the daughter of a marquis. Naturally, this group of people don't know how to deal with it.

　　Looking at the man and woman walking in the distance, Zhao Shuo's heart was also tangled. He came here today with the determination to avenge his son. With their military force, it would not be a problem to break through the Li family and kill Zhou Yun. Although this matter was against etiquette, it was in line with human nature. In addition, the Zhao family had recently found a big backer in the capital, so I believe this matter can still be covered up.

　　But now the problem is different. When this man and woman appeared and Zhao Shuo took action, the matter became serious. Moreover, he clearly felt that it was the woman in white who was walking towards him from a distance who pushed Li Yi away with her true power. At a distance of thirty or forty meters, the true power could reach such a level. Obviously, the woman's cultivation was probably higher than his.

　　Under such circumstances, even if you want to take action, it is difficult to be sure of winning.

　　Seeing Zhao Shuo didn't move, the group of noble family heads and warriors became even more panicked. According to etiquette, they should bow and salute when meeting a duke or a son of a state, but Zhao Shuo hasn't said anything yet. If they bowed themselves and weakened their momentum, they would be retaliated against, which would be no joke.

　　Although the Duke and the Marquis are noble, they are not in Tianhe Province after all. In Tianhe Province, it is extremely unwise to offend the Zhao family. The so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, this is the reason.

　　All the noble warriors were struggling, Zhao Shuo was also struggling, but the man and woman did not give them much time.

　　Within two breaths, the man and the woman had walked to the side of the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived. Behind them, a large group of warriors quickly ran up and pulled over a gorgeous carriage.

　　"How dare you! You don't even show courtesy when you see the Prince of Pingnan and the daughter of Qingshan!" Seeing the group of warriors standing in a daze at the door, an attendant holding a sword immediately shouted angrily!

　　Hearing this accusation, the skin on Zhao Shuo's face trembled immediately.

　　Duke Pingnan and Marquis Qingshan were not idle nobles. Although Duke Pingnan had retired, he still had a strong influence in the navy of the Tianyuan Dynasty. Marquis Qingshan was the Northern General of the imperial court, commanding 100,000 troops and commanding great influence in the northern border.

　　Moreover, these two people are the genuine prince and noble lady. In the Tianyuan Dynasty, a noble may have several sons or daughters, but there is only one seat for the prince and one seat for the noble lady. The arrival of these two people is almost equivalent to the arrival of the Duke of Pingnan and the Marquis of Qingshan in person.

　　Although the pain of killing a son is heart-wrenching, the Zhao family will definitely not gain any benefit if they offend these two!

　　"I am Zhao Shuo, the head of a noble family in Tianhe Province. I am honored to meet the prince of Pingnan and the daughter of Qingshan Marquis." After thinking for a moment, Zhao Shuo's momentum finally weakened. Zhao Shuo compromised, and the people behind him breathed a sigh of relief and saluted one after another.

　　In an instant, the tense atmosphere in the field disappeared without a trace.

　　The man and woman were Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin. Although they were on the road, the news network of the Duke and the Marquis's House was so strong that during the two days of traveling, a steady stream of news was sent to Lin Juntian.

　　Since meeting Zhou Yun in Heyang City two months ago, Lin Juntian specially arranged for someone to stay in Heyang to keep an eye on various things here. This time Zhou Yun returned, and Zhao Guang was killed, the Zhao family was furious, and the head of the family personally brought people here, so these things naturally could not be hidden from Lin Juntian.

　　After receiving the news, Lin Juntian arrived in time.

　　"Well, no need to be so polite." Standing there, Lin Juntian casually raised his hand and spoke calmly.

　　"Thank you, my lord." Zhao Shuo's momentum had weakened, so he stopped trying to hold on. He thanked him respectfully and stood up. Looking at Lin Juntian in front of him, Zhao Shuo frowned tightly, and couldn't understand why Lin Juntian appeared here.

　　Could it be that the Li family has secretly defected to the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion?

　　Looking at Zhao Shuo's constantly changing expression, Lin Juntian had already guessed something, but without explaining, he said, "I already know your intention. The matter in Xiqing Town has not yet been found out. We still don't know the facts, so there is no need for Patriarch Zhao to rush to act in anger. My Tianyuan Dynasty is the most respectful of etiquette and law, and I believe we will give you an explanation."

　　Lin Juntian's words were impartial and fair. The matter in Xiqing Town had indeed not been thoroughly investigated. It would be against etiquette to act rashly now. Zhao Shuo had no way of saying anything more.

　　"In this case, the matter of my son's unjust death will all depend on the justice of the prince." Zhao Shuo bowed respectfully again with a gloomy face, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

　　"No need to see you off." With a slight smile, Lin Juntian responded calmly, then turned and watched Zhao Shuo and a group of warriors retreat.

　　Watching Zhao Shuo and a group of warriors leave in disgrace, Li Yi, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, was stunned and had no idea what was going on.

　　In the situation just now, Li Yi had already prepared for a fight to the death. He also knew in his heart that today's battle would definitely not end peacefully and the Li family would probably suffer serious injuries. However, he did not expect Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying to appear out of nowhere and help him resolve the crisis.

　　And the most important thing is that he doesn't even know these two people.

　　Seeing Zhao Shuo and the others walking away, Li Yi hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I am Li Yi from Heyang City, nice to meet you, my Lord and my Lady."

　　Li Yixing bowed very politely, his back and legs were almost bent at 90 degrees. It was obvious that he was full of gratitude.

　　Naturally seeing the confused look on Li Yi's face, Lin Juntian smiled slightly, and without saying much, he walked directly into the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived with Fang Xueyin. Knowing that this doorway was not a place to talk, Li Yi ordered the people around to remove the defenses around the courtyard, and then followed.

　　The Duke's son and the Marquis' daughter are of high status and they brought a lot of warriors with them this time. It is naturally impossible for them to let the Li family's warriors be responsible for their defense. Li Yi is very sensible in this regard.

　　After receiving Li Yi's order, the warriors of Li family immediately withdrew from various defense points in the courtyard. The warriors brought by Lin Juntian also quickly completed the deployment and instantly turned the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived into an iron wall.

　　In such a situation, it would be difficult for even a mosquito to fly by.

　　Li Yi, who had been following Lin Juntian all the time, tactfully stood to the side away from Fang Xueying. Fang Xueying was a marquis's daughter with a very high status, so Li Yi naturally did not dare to be rude and look at her for too long.

　　"Where is Zhou Xue now?" The warriors from the surrounding Pingnan Mansion had already completed the defense arrangements. Now no one would eavesdrop on anything they said, so Lin Juntian finally spoke.

　　"Uh..." Li Yi was stunned by Lin Juntian's question. His brain was a little confused and he could only speak stiffly, "Sir, I am stupid. I don't know what the deep meaning of your sudden visit is?"

　　Until now, Li Yi still had a feeling of dreaming, and he didn't know where these two noble people who rescued him came from.

　　Seeing Li Yi's embarrassment, Lin Juntian also showed a smile on his face. "The noble lady of Qingshan Marquis and I are friends of Zhou Yun. This time, we heard that Zhou Yun's sister was poisoned by the Soul Locking Incense, so we came to rescue her. Time waits for no one, Master Li, please tell us where Zhou Xue is first."

　　It’s Zhou Yun indeed!

　　When Zhou Yun left, he left an address in Beijing as his contact information. Li Yi was already very surprised. And when he found out that the letters sent back from Beijing were all first-class and urgent, he was even more shocked. At that time, he suspected that Zhou Yun had some wealthy friends in Beijing.

　　But I didn't expect that this 'rich friend' would have such a high status.

　　Li Yi had also heard of Fang Xueyin. Her reputation as the best doctor in the capital was almost known to everyone in the Tianyuan Dynasty. With Fang Xueyin's arrival, there was a better chance of curing the poison in Zhou Xue's body.

　　Just as he was about to point out the room where Zhou Xue was, Li Yi remembered what Zhou Yun had told him, and his expression immediately became hesitant again.

　　Chapter 79: Unable to be Eradicated

　　"What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?" As the son of a duke, Lin Juntian's sharp eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary people. Seeing Li Yi's expression, Lin Juntian knew that Li Yi must be in some difficulty, so he asked directly.

　　Looking at the Duke's son Lin Juntian in front of him, Li Yi thought carefully in his heart. He had never met these two people, so he didn't know the relationship between Zhou Yun and them. Although Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin helped him solve the crisis just now, Li Yi didn't dare to be really sure that these two people had no ill intentions.

　　After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Yi sorted out all the recent events. The letter that Zhou Yun sent to the capital should have been given to Lin Juntian, and the other party was indeed very concerned about this matter.

　　If it weren't for their friendship, they could have simply not helped Zhou Yun. Moreover, with Zhou Yun's current status, it seemed unlikely that two people of such noble status would be so intent on murdering him.

　　Thinking of this, Li Yi's mind was completely relaxed, but the hesitant look on his face remained unchanged. Looking at Lin Juntian, Li Yi said, "Sir, Zhou Xue is in this room. Zhou Yun is also inside. He is treating Zhou Xue and told me not to let anyone else disturb her."

　　As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, Lin Juntian's face immediately showed surprise and anger, and Fang Xueyin beside him also frowned tightly.

　　"Nonsense!" Lin Juntian shook his hands fiercely and shouted angrily, "What kind of poison is this Soul-Locking Incense? Hasn't Zhou Yun ever asked about it? Can he cure such a poison? If he can't cure it, he will be poisoned in the end. Zhou Yun is really too reckless!"

　　The reason why Lin Juntian was anxious to call Fang Xueying back this time and went to Heyang at all costs was to save Zhou Xue, because Lin Juntian knew the position of Zhou Yun in Lin Junyao's heart.

　　If Zhou Xue had any accident, Zhou Yun would not be happy, and Lin Junyao would be sad too. But now, if Zhou Yun impulsively tried to save Zhou Xue, not only would Zhou Xue not be saved, but Zhou Yun would also be in danger!

　　"Xue Yin, what should I do?" Lin Juntian didn't know much about medical skills, so he could only ask Fang Xue Yin for help.

　　Looking at the tightly closed door at the far end, Fang Xueyin frowned slightly, "Brother Tian, ​​the treatment of the Soul-Locking Incense requires a Lingquan Stone. I only found one this time, so I can only treat one person. If it's just Zhou Xue, it's still no problem. But if Zhou Yun is also infected with the poison, then it will be really troublesome. Without the Lingquan Stone, the poison of the Soul-Locking Incense cannot be cured at all."

　　"This Zhou Yun is so immature!" After hearing Fang Xueying's words, Lin Juntian clapped his hands heavily with a look of anger on his face.

　　He also knew about the Lingquan Stone that Fang Xueying mentioned. This stone was produced in the Tianmiao Mountains in the northeast of the Tianyuan Dynasty. It was something that was bred in a heavenly spring and was hard to come by. Fang Xueying had already spent a lot of money to find one. If Zhou Yun was also contaminated, then there would be nothing that could be done.

　　Even if we really have to save the two people at all costs, but in such a short time, where can we ask them to find another Lingquan Stone?

　　"Never mind all that, open the door quickly and let Xueyin see the current situation." The situation is critical now, and Lin Juntian can't wait any longer. No matter what, he must first check the situation of Zhou Xue and Zhou Yun before making any plans.

　　After saying this, Lin Juntian immediately climbed the stairs outside the wing room. The door of the wing room in front of him was closed. Seeing that Li Yi had not moved, Lin Juntian immediately said angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Open the door quickly!"

　　Normally, Lin Juntian was always polite, no matter who he was meeting. However, this matter concerned Lin Junyao's mood and future happiness. The matter was urgent, and he became a little irritable.

　　Looking at Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin, Li Yi was struggling in his heart. He had heard of Fang Xueyin's name. Since the best doctor in Beijing could come here, he believed that Zhou Xue's disease should be curable. But when Zhou Yun entered the room, he told that no one was allowed to enter and disturb him. What if Zhou Yun was at the critical moment of treatment at this time?

　　What if he brought people in and it affected Zhou Yun, causing even more disastrous consequences? He couldn't afford to take that risk.

　　After struggling for a while, Li Yi finally raised his head. "Prince, Zhou Yun told us not to let anyone disturb him when he went in. From what I know about Zhou Yun, if he is not sure, he will not make such a rash decision, so we'd better wait for now."

　　"You..." Lin Juntian didn't expect Li Yi to refute him at this time. He immediately became angry, but didn't know what to say.

　　Although he has a noble status, in terms of relationship, Zhou Xue is Zhou Yun's sister, and Li Yi is Zhou Xue's fiancé. Under such a relationship, Zhou Yun and Li Yi naturally have the right to decide on matters concerning Zhou Xue, and he cannot force it.

　　"Okay then, but there is one thing I want to tell you in advance. If Zhou Yun fails to cure Zhou Xue, and I am also infected with the Soul-Locking Incense, then I must rescue Zhou Yun. As for Zhou Xue, I can't do anything about her." With a cold snort, Lin Juntian left a word, waved his sleeves and walked to the edge of the courtyard, turned his back to Li Yi, and stopped talking.

　　He had already made up his mind. If things really developed to such a bad level, he could only save Zhou Yun. Even if Zhou Xue died, there was nothing he could do. Compared to losing Zhou Xue, Lin Junyao was more concerned about Zhou Yun's safety.

　　Seeing Lin Juntian's appearance, Li Yi wanted to confess and persuade him, but he didn't know where to start. He could only sigh and said nothing more. Fang Xueyin also walked up silently and stayed beside Lin Juntian.

　　For a moment, the three people in the courtyard were silent and could only wait quietly for news from Zhou Yun.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun's treatment for Zhou Xue in the room had come to the end.

　　After a whole day, the dark blue spots on Zhou Xue's face were no longer visible, and her body had basically returned to normal. However, the last bit of toxin lingering in her body could not be eliminated.

　　Originally, when the poison in Zhou Xue's body was more concentrated, it would be transferred to Zhou Yun along the direction where their arms touched. But now the poison in Zhou Xue's body has become very weak. When the poison becomes weak, it will automatically lie dormant and will not be transmitted at will. In this case, in order to eliminate the poison, Zhou Yun must use his true power to explore Zhou Xue's veins.

　　However, the veins along which this toxin runs are different from ordinary meridians. Instead, it runs along a more mysterious vein. Zhou Yun still hasn't been able to find the exact trajectory of that vein, so it is naturally impossible to rely on the veins to help Zhou Xue eradicate the toxin.

　　"This won't work. We need to think of a way." Sitting there quietly, Zhou Yun muttered to himself, and then he withdrew his hand that had been on Zhou Xue's wrist.

　　Now, if he wants to help Zhou Xue completely eliminate the toxins in her body, he must completely understand the mysterious veins through which the poison of the Soul-Locking Incense operates. Zhou Yun actually had such an experience before.

　　When a warrior first starts practicing, it is not easy to open up the initial meridians. It requires constant breakthroughs and meditation before the eight extraordinary meridians connected to the Dantian Qi sea can be opened.

　　The meridians through which the Soul-Locking Incense's poison runs are obviously more advanced than the Eight Extraordinary Meridians used by martial artists in their daily practice. It is certainly not easy to fully comprehend such meridians.

　　The most important thing is that there is no trace of such veins. Zhou Yun had never known that such veins existed in the human body before. He had no idea at all. How could he possibly find it?

　　"Hmm..." Just as Zhou Yun was thinking hard, a low hum suddenly came from above the bed.

　　Hearing this voice, Zhou Yun’s thoughts were immediately pulled back. He knew that his sister Zhou Xue had woken up!

　　"Sister!" Zhou Yun shouted in surprise as he held Zhou Xue's hand again. When he first came back, Zhou Xue's physical condition made Zhou Yun's heart ache like a needle. Now that he saw that Zhou Xue was fine, Zhou Yun immediately felt ecstatic.

　　She was still dazed at first, but when she heard the word "sister", Zhou Xue immediately forced herself to open her eyes despite her fatigue.

　　Suddenly, a bloody man came into her sight.

　　After returning to Heyang, Zhou Yun didn't even have time to wash up before he started treating Zhou Xue. Now Zhou Yun's body was still torn and covered in blood.

　　However, most of the wounds on his body had healed unconsciously by now. Otherwise, if Zhou Xue saw the look on Zhou Yun's face when he just came back, she would definitely be heartbroken.

　　But even so, seeing Zhou Yun covered in blood, Zhou Xue's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

　　Sitting up quickly, Zhou Xue hugged Zhou Yun tightly, the tightness made Zhou Yun's neck hurt a little, "Xiao Yun, you're back, didn't I tell Li Yi not to come back? Why are you so disobedient!"

　　While crying, Zhou Xue was still blaming Zhou Yun.

　　Patting Zhou Xue's shoulder gently, Zhou Yun's heart began to tremble. Although he had not received Li Yi's letter, he had already judged her meaning from Zhou Xue's words. Zhou Xue didn't want him to run back in that situation, worried that he would be in danger.

　　Zhou Xue's consideration for him made Zhou Yun unable to help but be moved.

　　"How can I not come back? Sister, you are my only relative. If anything happens to you, I will never be happy in my life." Although she did not cry, Zhou Yun's eyes were already red at this time.

　　This experience was too terrifying for Zhou Xue. She almost walked through the gates of hell. After surviving the disaster and seeing that Zhou Yun was fine, Zhou Xue, who had been very strong for a long time, finally burst into tears.

　　squeak!

　　Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open fiercely, and Li Yi, with an anxious look on his face, ran into the room.

　　Seeing Zhou Xue's appearance, Li Yi's eyes immediately showed an unconcealable ecstasy.

　　"Xiaoxue!" With a scream, Li Yi, who was usually calm in the face of praise or criticism, actually ran over, snatched Zhou Xue from Zhou Yun's arms, and hugged her tightly to his chest.

　　Zhou Yun was a little dissatisfied at first because his sister was taken away, but when he saw the happy faces of the two people in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.

　　It seems that it is time to arrange a wedding for my sister and Li Yi.

　　Chapter 80 Mystery

　　Not wanting to disturb the warm relationship between her sister and Li Yi, Zhou Yun silently glanced at the two of them, turned around and left the room.

　　As soon as he walked out of the room, he was stunned by the sight of another couple in front of him.

　　"Prince... why are you here?" The person in front of him was Lin Juntian. In fact, Zhou Yun rushed back to Heyang this time not because he received a letter from the capital, but because he got the news from Zhao Guang. Zhou Yun never expected that he would meet Lin Juntian here.

　　Moreover, there was an equally noble woman standing next to Lin Juntian at this moment, which made Zhou Yun feel even more puzzled.

　　Zhou Yun's face was filled with surprise, while Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin at this moment were so shocked.

　　Just now, through the door, they had seen the situation inside. Zhou Xue in the room had recovered, and Zhou Yun was also fine. But the Soul-Locking Incense was extremely poisonous, how could it be possible?

　　Looking at each other, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin both saw shock in each other's eyes.

　　"How did you detoxify?" Before Lin Juntian could say anything, Fang Xueying on the side spoke anxiously.

　　Zhou Yun had no idea who Fang Xueying was. He looked at Lin Juntian with an inquiring look. Until now, he still didn't quite understand what was going on.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's doubts, Lin Juntian explained, "This is Fang Xueyin, the daughter of the Marquis of Qingshan, my fiancée, and she is also a very good doctor. We came here because we received a letter from Li Yi. Junyao is very worried about your sister and asked us to help treat her."

　　After hearing this, Zhou Yun finally understood the whole thing. After Zhou Xue was poisoned, Li Yi must have sent the information to Lin Junyao, asking her to pass it on to him. But Lin Junyao did not just give a notice and leave it alone. Lin Juntian could come in person and bring Fang Xueyin with him. This was definitely the result of Lin Junyao's efforts.

　　Thinking of Lin Junyao, the expression on Zhou Yun's face couldn't help but soften, and he was no longer on guard against the woman in front of him whom he had never met before.

　　"Greetings, young lady." Zhou Yun bowed slightly to Fang Xueying and answered her question. "During this trip, I had some adventures in the Black Dragon Mountains. For some reason, I have become immune to all poisons. This time I came back to transfer the toxins in my sister's body into my own body and then digest them. Unfortunately, the toxins cannot be completely eliminated."

　　"Immune to all poisons?" After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin were both shocked.

　　It's not that such attributes don't exist, but they are too rare. It's almost a kind of heaven-defying physical talent. How could Zhou Yun have such a talent after going out for training?

　　"Let me see your pulse." Without saying anything more, Fang Xueying took a step forward and held Zhou Yun's wrist.

　　Fang Xueying's action surprised Zhou Yun a little. He originally wanted to dodge, but found that he had no time to react and his wrist had been grabbed. Fang Xueying seemed to have known how he was going to dodge, and one of her jade hands was waiting directly on the path of Zhou Yun's arm's retreat.

　　At first glance, it seemed as if Zhou Yun had extended his hand himself.

　　Since he was already held, Zhou Yun stopped moving. Holding Zhou Yun's wrist, Fang Xueyin felt it for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Yun calmly, "Okay, go clean your wounds first. Your injuries are still quite serious and you will need more than ten days to recuperate."

　　It was almost impossible to read any information from Fang Xueying's eyes, and Zhou Yun didn't know what she felt. He could only nod, bow slightly to the two of them, and turn to leave.

　　When Zhou Yun walked away, Lin Juntian immediately spoke up, "Xue Yin, how is it? Is he really immune to all poisons?"

　　Such a physique is of great value to Lin Juntian. If Zhou Yun really has such an opportunity, his future will certainly be brighter. The Fengshen Kingdom and some small countries in the Nissan Islands in the southeast of the Tianyuan Dynasty have been at war with the Tianyuan Dynasty for many years. These maritime countries are best at using poisons, and all kinds of miasma and poisonous water emerge in an endless stream. If Zhou Yun has a physique that is immune to all poisons, and is sent to the navy in the future, with the support of the Pingnan Duke's Mansion, his development prospects will certainly be limitless.

　　Looking at the direction Zhou Yun left, Fang Xueyin said, "There is nothing special about his physique. If there is anything special, it is that his physique and endurance are much stronger than those of ordinary warriors. But he is not immune to all poisons. I have seen it just now. He is lying."

　　"Then? The poison in Zhou Xue's body?" If Zhou Yun was not immune to all poisons, then the poison in Zhou Xue's body would have been eliminated, and there was no way to explain this.

　　After thinking silently for a moment, Fang Xueyin said, "Zhou Yun has many secrets that are difficult for us to discover for the time being. However, since he has a close relationship with Jun Yao, we will not ask too many questions. In short, Zhou Yun's strength will not be bad for us. However, Zhou Yun's cultivation is indeed improving rapidly. He is less than sixteen years old, but now he has already reached the initial stage of tendon training. Moreover, I think his actual combat ability is far stronger than that of the initial stage of tendon training."

　　"Yes, the battle in Xiqing Town was indeed brutal. Under such circumstances, not even the most powerful martial artists could survive. Perhaps, Zhou Yun can really give us a surprise in the future." With a sigh, Lin Juntian said no more and walked towards the core area of ​​the Li family mansion with Fang Xueying, where Li Yi had already set up a courtyard for them.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had already entered a small courtyard where the guests of the Li family lived. The servants of the Li family had already prepared bath water and clean clothes. Zhou Yun sent the servants away, took off his clothes, and soaked himself in a wooden barrel filled with hot water.

　　It had been more than two months since he had taken a bath like this. Surrounded by hot water, Zhou Yun felt his body relax. But at this time, Zhou Yun was not relaxed at all.

　　"I must think of a way to completely remove the poison from my sister's body. If it doesn't work, I can only ask Fang Xueyin to see if he has any solution." Zhou Yun leaned against the edge of the wooden barrel and pondered silently. Just now, Zhou Yun even thought about placing the mysterious little piece on his sister's body when she was unconscious, so that the little piece could absorb the poison of the Soul Locking Incense on its own.

　　After trying it, Zhou Yun found that this approach was not feasible. The small piece would have the function of automatically repairing injuries when placed on Zhou Yun, but it had no effect at all when placed on Zhou Xue. It was just like an ordinary small piece, without any special features.

　　Now, there is only one way to remove the toxins from Zhou Xue's body, and that is to thoroughly familiarize herself with the mysterious veins through which the poison of the Soul-Locking Incense flows, so that she can help Zhou Xue detoxify through the veins.

　　Although he had returned to the Li family, Zhou Yun's sense of urgency had not diminished at all. The blood on his body had been cleaned up. Zhou Yun did not delay and walked out of the wooden barrel directly.

　　The wounds on his body have almost healed, but the hidden injury in his dantian cannot be eliminated in a short time. After all, that shadow is a warrior who has practiced internal organ blood exchange. If he was kicked in the dantian by such a warrior, an ordinary warrior who practices tendon training would probably have died long ago. Zhou Yun also relied on his strong physical fitness to survive this hurdle, but this injury will also take half a month to repair.

　　After putting on the clothes prepared for him by the Li family's servants, Zhou Yun came directly to the courtyard where Zhou Xue lived. At this time, Li Yi and his sister Zhou Xue were still staying in the room they had just been in.

　　In the room, Li Yi had already prepared some light meals and was feeding Zhou Xue personally.

　　Seeing Li Yi sitting cautiously beside the bed, Zhou Yun also showed a smile on his face.

　　After waving his hand to signal the servants around to leave, Zhou Yun closed the door of the room and walked over.

　　"Sister, do you feel better?" Standing behind Li Yi, Zhou Yun asked Zhou Xue with concern.

　　"Ah." Hearing Zhou Yun's voice, Zhou Xue couldn't help but let out a slight scream, and a blush appeared on her face. The scene of Li Yi feeding her just now was somewhat intimate, and Zhou Yun saw this scene, so naturally, as a sister, she would be a little shy.

　　Zhou Xue panicked and spilled some porridge on the corner of her mouth. Li Yi turned around and saw that it was Zhou Yun coming over. He complained helplessly, "Why did you come here so early, kid? Can't you let me spend more time with Xiaoxue?"

　　While complaining, Li Yi did not forget to pick up the handkerchief beside him to help Zhou Xue wipe the marks from the corners of her mouth.

　　Being with Zhou Xue and Li Yi, Zhou Yun, who had been fighting outside for two months, once again felt the warmth of family affection. After this incident, the warmth between the three of them has been further deepened.

　　After such a disaster, they have become a family.

　　"Sister, although the poison in your body has been controlled, it has not been completely eliminated. You still need to be careful in the future, and I will keep an eye on you at all times. But don't worry, sister, I have found a way. I believe it won't be long before the poison in your body can be completely eliminated." Zhou Yun also took a stool and sat at the head of the bed, speaking gently to Zhou Xue.

　　"Not completely cleared yet? Then?!" In response to Zhou Yun's words, Zhou Xue immediately became nervous and pulled back the hand that Li Yi was holding.

　　Li Yi's face suddenly became nervous, but Zhou Yun could see that Li Yi's nervousness was not because he was afraid that Zhou Xue would infect him with the poison of the Soul-Locking Incense, but because he was worried about Zhou Xue's health.

　　"Don't worry, sister. The toxin in your body is already very weak and is no longer contagious. I will find a way to help you eradicate the toxin as soon as possible." Zhou Yun held Zhou Xue's hand again and comforted her.

　　Zhou Xue felt relieved when she heard Zhou Yun say that the poison would not continue to spread.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun, Zhou Xue seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Xiao Yun, how long will you stay at home this time when you come back?"

　　Chapter 81: Warmth

　　Zhou Xue felt a little relieved after knowing that her poison was not contagious. But soon, her mind was attracted by another thing, which was Zhou Yun's future plan.

　　This time when Zhou Yun went out for training, he obviously endured a lot of hardships. The first moment he woke up, Zhou Xue saw blood all over Zhou Yun's body. Although there were no serious injuries on Zhou Yun's body after cleaning, Zhou Xue, as a sister, was still worried.

　　When Zhou Xue asked this question, Zhou Yun was also thinking about what had happened recently.

　　Zhou Yun did not rush to answer Zhou Xue's question. Instead, he spoke to Li Yi first, "Li Yi, what happened this time? Tell me everything that happened before and after. Don't leave anything out."

　　"Well, OK." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Yi did not hide anything and told Zhou Yun everything that happened in Heyang City after he left, including the attack on the Li family mansion and the letters they sent to the capital.

　　"That's how it is. But you really surprise me. The Duke of Pingnan and the Marquis of Qingshan are both influential forces in the dynasty. It's amazing that you know such people." It took Li Yi a quarter of an hour to explain these things clearly to Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun didn't think about these questions at the moment. He was sorting out the things that happened just now in his mind. Zhou Xue was attacked because of him. Those who wanted to force him to show up couldn't find him, so they thought of attacking Zhou Xue.

　　This time, the other party wanted to force him to show up, so they didn't kill him, but poisoned Zhou Xue. But in the future, if someone finds Zhou Xue just to seek revenge, what will happen?

　　For a moment, Zhou Yun felt a sense of weakness. Now he could only try his best to ensure his own safety, but he was powerless to take care of his relatives around him, especially his sister Zhou Xue.

　　"Now I still have no power and no status. If I were already a general, who would dare to touch my relatives? If I could build up a huge force, who would dare to do anything bad to my relatives?" Sitting there, Zhou Yun said nothing, but kept repeating in his heart.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's serious expression, Li Yi didn't know what Zhou Yun was thinking, so he could only stop joking. In fact, Zhou Yun was thinking about how to ensure Zhou Xue's safety. According to the current situation, it was very dangerous for Zhou Xue to continue staying in Heyang.

　　Zhou Yun killed Zhao Guang in the battle of Xiqing Town. This was a heavy blow to the Zhao family, and the two sides thus formed an irreconcilable hatred. If the other party was desperate and broke into the Li Mansion again just to kill Zhou Xue, it was entirely possible that he would succeed. This was what Zhou Yun was most worried about.

　　"Xiao Yun, during the time you were away, a girl named Jun Yao from the capital city sent a letter to inform you of your situation. Tell your sister, who is that girl Jun Yao?" Looking at Zhou Yun who was sitting there, Zhou Xue asked seriously.

　　She didn't care what kind of powerful people Zhou Yun knew. Zhou Yun was almost sixteen years old now. In the Tianyuan Dynasty, although men of this age would not get married, they could already consider getting engaged. His parents passed away early, so now this matter fell on her, his sister.

　　Looking at Zhou Xue's expectant eyes, Zhou Yun immediately understood what Zhou Xue meant.

　　Suddenly, a wonderful idea entered Zhou Yun's mind. It was not safe for Zhou Xue to stay in Li's house now, but what if he arranged Zhou Xue to live in Jun Yao's house?

　　The Lin family is a duke's family, with a grand title, especially in the capital, it is safe and secure. I believe that the Zhao family will never reach out to a duke's mansion. Arrange my sister to the Lin family, and wait for a year or two, when I have strong power, I will pick my sister out. Wouldn't that be good?

　　However, this would delay the marriage of my sister and Li Yi. However, safety was more important than marriage.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun made a secret decision in his heart and raised his head.

　　"Sister, actually, the Prince of Pingnan, Lin Juntian, who came here today, is Jun Yao's brother. Jun Yao is the noble lady of the Pingnan Mansion, and also my confidante." Since it has been decided to arrange for my sister to enter the Lin family, there is no need to hide the relationship with Jun Yao.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun said this, Zhou Xue and Li Yi were stunned.

　　"Zhou Yun, you are kidding, how can a noble lady be yours...yours...?" Looking at Zhou Yun straight, Li Yi was even speechless.

　　"Xiao Yun, what are you going to do?" Compared to Li Yi, Zhou Xue was surprised for a different reason. The status of a noble lady is so honorable. If Zhou Yun decides to be with Lin Junyao, she will definitely go through many hardships. As a sister, how could Zhou Xue not worry?

　　Naturally knowing what his sister meant, Zhou Yun spoke slowly, "Sister, Jun Yao and I are in love with each other and she treats me sincerely. It is my blessing to meet her. I will work hard to win her over and not let her down."

　　Looking at Zhou Yun's determined expression, he knew his younger brother very well. Zhou Yun's expression and words meant that he would insist on being with Lin Junyao no matter what.

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Xue took Zhou Yun's hand in return and whispered, "Xiao Yun, you have grown up. Since you have decided to be with Miss Jun Yao, you must shoulder your own responsibilities. Although Jun Yao and I have never met, I can see from her letters that she is a talented girl and will be a good match for you."

　　"Sister, I know." Nodding, Zhou Yun obediently accepted his sister's instructions.

　　Looking at his sister Zhou Xue, and then at Li Yi beside him, Zhou Yun was silent for a moment before speaking, "Li Yi, sister, I have just thought about this matter. The Zhao family is very powerful. They can raid the Li Mansion this time and next time as well. In addition, I killed Zhao Guang, so I am afraid that the Zhao family will be crazy and seek revenge on my sister."

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, Li Yi immediately became nervous, and Zhou Xue's face also showed a look of worry.

　　"Xiao Yun, what are you going to do?" Although she was worried, Zhou Xue knew that since Zhou Yun said this, he must have thought of a solution.

　　Zhou Yun looked at Li Yi apologetically and then spoke, "I want to let my sister follow the prince and the lady back to the capital this time, and live in the Lin family for a period of time in the future, so that she can be safe. I also have a certain amount of time to build my career, and once I have made some achievements in my career, I can bring my sister back. But this will be unfair to you. I originally wanted to marry you this time, but now I am afraid you will have to wait again."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Yi's expression immediately froze.

　　After this incident, Li Yi has already planned to marry Zhou Xue. After all, this is something he has been looking forward to for a long time. Now, such a thing suddenly happened, and Li Yi's mood can be imagined.

　　Zhou Xue, who was lying on the bed, did not speak at this time. Now she had to see what Li Yi said instead of making a rash decision on her own.

　　After Zhou Yun finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became gloomy again.

　　Li Yi sat in silence for a long time before he looked up and said, "Xiaoxue, go ahead. I can wait. I have waited for so many years. I am not afraid to wait a few more years."

　　"Li Yi." Tears welled up in Zhou Xue's eyes, and she was completely moved by Li Yi.

　　The two have known each other for several years. Ever since she was the daughter of a foreign servant, Li Yi has been devoted to her and has taken good care of her. As the son of the only large family in Heyang City, if Li Yi wants to get married, there will probably be countless women willing to come to him. However, Li Yi has been waiting for her until now and has not even taken a concubine.

　　At this time, Li Yi was actually very sad, but he still held back his sadness and did not show it.

　　After punching Zhou Yun hard, Li Yi said, "Boy, work hard when you get to the capital, and don't make me wait too long." When he said this, there was a smile on Li Yi's face again, but that smile seemed a little bitter.

　　"I know." Zhou Yun nodded vigorously and stood up. "Li Yi, you should stay with your sister. I need to go to see my son."

　　Zhou Yun knew that with Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin's identities, they naturally couldn't stay in Heyang City for too long. If they wanted to let them take Zhou Xue away with them, they should go over and discuss this matter now.

　　At this time, Zhou Xue and Li Yi should be given more time alone.

　　After saying goodbye, Zhou Yun left the room and closed the door.

　　Walking in the Li family mansion, Zhou Yun silently calmed his mind. The brief time they had just spent together had filled Zhou Yun's heart with too much warmth, but Zhou Yun knew that he should not be held back by such warmth. Instead, this warmth should become his motivation to continue fighting.

　　After passing through several quiet paths, Zhou Yun had arrived at the courtyard where Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin lived.

　　In a short period of time, the courtyard had been tightly guarded by the warriors brought by the two men. At the gate of the courtyard, two warriors with knives stood there like stone statues, holding the steel knives in their hands, motionless.

　　Judging from the sensation of Qi and blood, these two warriors are both in the bone training stage.

　　"Hmm? How come my senses are so sensitive that I can tell the cultivation levels of these two warriors just by looking at them?" Suddenly, Zhou Yun felt a new change in his body.

　　Even from a distance, Zhou Yun had already felt the cultivation level of the two guarding warriors. Before this, Zhou Yun did not have such ability.

　　His thoughts were immediately attracted by this discovery, and Zhou Yun even forgot that he was still walking forward.

　　"Stop!" Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted Zhou Yun's thoughts. When he looked again, he was less than 20 meters away from the entrance of the small courtyard. The shout came from the two warriors guarding the entrance.

　　Chapter 82 Proper Arrangements

　　After being stopped by the two warriors, Zhou Yun also stopped.

　　Those two warriors were brought by Lin Juntian, so naturally they would make protecting their master's safety their top priority. Even if they were in someone else's house at the moment, if they met any suspicious person, they would not show the slightest mercy.

　　"Who are you?" Looking at Zhou Yun, one of the warriors asked indifferently, his hand still tightly gripping the hilt of the knife. The warrior's sharp eyes pierced straight into Zhou Yun's eyes, but Zhou Yun didn't care at all.

　　"I'm Zhou Yun, and I'd like to see the prince. Please inform him." Standing there, Zhou Yun spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the expressions of the two warriors guarding the gate changed slightly. They had also heard of the name Zhou Yun. This time, Lin Juntian brought Fang Xueying to a small place like Heyang from afar, reportedly just for Zhou Yun.

　　"Please wait a moment." Nodding, the warrior standing on the left side of the door bowed slightly to Zhou Yun, turned around and walked in.

　　The warrior guarding the courtyard had gone to report, while Zhou Yun stood quietly where he was, continuing to feel the strange phenomenon he had just discovered.

　　Standing there, Zhou Yun naturally paid attention to the environment around him. Soon, the breath of the warriors hidden in some secret locations around the courtyard was captured by Zhou Yun one by one.

　　Among them were warriors who trained their bones, warriors who trained their tendons, and even some warriors whose cultivation levels Zhou Yun couldn't feel at all. He only gave back a sense of danger, which made Zhou Yun feel a chill down his spine.

　　"It seems that I really have the ability to sense the cultivation level of others, but where did this ability come from?" Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel happy when he got this very useful ability, but he still didn't know where this ability came from.

　　"Could it be that the meridians through which the Soul-Locking Incense runs are more powerful than the Eight Extraordinary Meridians? Because I helped my sister absorb the poison of the Soul-Locking Incense, this meridian in my body has also been opened up to some extent?" Suddenly, Zhou Yun thought of such a possibility, because, before and after he acquired this ability, there was only this kind of change in Zhou Yun's body.

　　If this is the case, we may be able to find some conditions now to allow this line of thought to be further developed.

　　While Zhou Yun was standing there thinking silently, the warrior who entered the courtyard to report had already walked out. Seeing Zhou Yun still standing there, the warrior immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, my master invites you in to talk."

　　"Well, thank you." Zhou Yun's attention was drawn back by the warrior's words. He nodded and walked in.

　　This small courtyard is inside the Li family mansion. Although it is used to entertain distinguished guests, the area is not very large. It has only two steps, and its structure is similar to the courtyard where Zhou Xue lives.

　　After crossing the courtyard, Zhou Yun saw Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin waiting in the small garden.

　　"Greetings, Prince, and Lady." Walking to the pavilion where the two were, Zhou Yun bowed slightly and saluted to them.

　　"No need to be polite." After giving Zhou Yun a complicated look, Lin Juntian finally spoke. Lin Juntian still had some grievances about Zhou Yun. Because of Lin Junyao, Lin Juntian sometimes had to help Zhou Yun solve some problems. For example, this time, he, a prince of a duke, actually brought his fiancée to a small place like Heyang after traveling thousands of miles, only to find that his expression was wasted.

　　Moreover, Lin Juntian could not help but feel resentful about Zhou Yun quietly establishing a relationship with his beloved sister and committing to each other for life. It was precisely because of this that even though he admired Zhou Yun a little, he felt somewhat resentful in his heart.

　　After the greeting, Lin Juntian didn't say anything, and Zhou Yun didn't want to speak first without the other party asking. For a moment, there was silence in the field.

　　As soon as she saw Lin Juntian's expression, Fang Xueyin knew what her fiancé was thinking. She rolled her eyes at Lin Juntian, as if she was laughing at his childishness. Fang Xueyin turned around and spoke to Zhou Yun first, "Zhou Yun, your injury still needs to be healed. Why don't you rest well at this time and come here to find us? Is there something urgent?"

　　Nodding respectfully, Zhou Yun said, "Prince, Lady, I will report to the Shenwei training camp in a month. I am afraid I will not have time to go home for a long time. This time I have offended the Zhao family, and I am afraid the hatred cannot be resolved. So I hope that Prince can take my sister back to the capital. If you can give me a sinecure in the Duke's Mansion and guarantee her safety, I will be very grateful."

　　"You want to send Zhou Xue to the Lin family?" Lin Juntian raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Yun with some surprise.

　　Originally, he thought Zhou Yun came here to ask about Jun Yao's situation, but he didn't expect that this was what Zhou Yun wanted to say.

　　"Yes, the Zhao family is strong in military force. Although the Li family is also a noble family, they are merchants and their military force is not reliable. And now if my sister continues to stay in the Li family, I am afraid it will bring trouble to the Li family, so I would like to trouble the prince to help me." With a slightly pleading look on his face, Zhou Yun spoke slowly.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Juntian silently exchanged a glance with Fang Xueyin, then turned to face Zhou Yun again and said, "It's not impossible to bring Zhou Xue back to the Lin family. Besides, Zhou Xue will be absolutely safe staying in the Lin family. But you have to understand that the reason I treat you preferentially is entirely because of Jun Yao. If you die, I have no obligation to take care of Zhou Xue."

　　"Do you know that if I bring Zhou Xue into the Lin family, others may guess your relationship with Jun Yao? This may be a disaster for you." Looking at Zhou Yun, Lin Juntian spoke slowly.

　　Zhou Yun straightened up again, and stood there like a sword. He said firmly, "Even if they know, what does it matter? Jun Yao and I have an upright relationship. We don't need to hide anything from anyone. As long as I can enter the Shenwei training camp, I will be safe for at least the next six months. Six months is enough for me to be able to protect myself. Besides, I am not completely helpless now."

　　After two months of training, although Zhou Yun had gone through several life-and-death adventures, his confidence finally improved. Especially after the bloody battle in Xiqing Town, Zhou Yun's mind became even stronger.

　　When leaving Heyang, Zhou Yun wanted to hide, but now he no longer wanted to do so. First of all, the rapid improvement of his cultivation gave Zhou Yun great confidence. The effect of the mysterious piece had been continuously stimulated, and Zhou Yun already had full confidence.

　　Secondly, although Zhou Yun had been avoiding, he was not avoiding anything at all. The Zhao family and many nobles in Heyang City were still looking for trouble with him.

　　Instead of hiding all the time, it is better to hit the opponent hard and hurt him. It was because of this idea that Zhou Yun directly killed Zhao Guang, a young man from a noble family, in Xiqing Town.

　　After these two months of experience, Zhou Yun has realized that if the enemy is ruthless, you have to be more ruthless than him. If you give in, it is likely to cause irreparable consequences.

　　Now, for Zhou Yun, finding an opportunity to move completely to the Zhao family is his first goal.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun in front of him, Lin Juntian discovered that the current Zhou Yun was very different from the one two months ago. The current Zhou Yun was calmer than before, and his aura was even stronger. Moreover, Zhou Yun now seemed very calm when facing him, and he no longer had that panicky feeling.

　　"Okay, I agree to your request. I will take Zhou Xue back and arrange a sinecure for her in the mansion. What about you, what are your plans next?" Finally nodding, Lin Juntian spoke to Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun already had a plan for where to go next. "I still need to find a place to continue my training. There is still a month before the Shenwei training camp starts. I will seize the time to improve myself."

　　Zhou Yun is injured now, and it is not suitable for him to go directly to the Black Dragon Mountains. However, the secret treasure of the Shadow Knife Sect in the Black Dragon Mountains is still very important to Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun plans to stay in the Li family secretly and practice in the secret room for half a month. After recovering from his injuries, he will go to the Black Dragon Mountains again and try his best to defeat the war puppet in the second level of the Shadow Knife Sect's power transmission tower, and then enter the third level. After learning the secret method of the third level, he will go to the capital.

　　"In that case, Xue Yin and I will set off for return in two days. What about you? Is there anything you want me to convey to Jun Yao?" Nodding, agreeing to Zhou Yun's plan, Lin Juntian spoke.

　　When Zhou Yun heard Lin Juntian mention Lin Junyao, a hint of tenderness appeared on his face. Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue, these two women were the softest places in Zhou Yun's heart. So far, everything Zhou Yun had done was for them.

　　His tone became gentler, as if Lin Junyao was right in front of him. Zhou Yun said slowly, "Tell Junyao that I will go to see her at the agreed time. Ask her to take care of herself and wait for me."

　　"Okay, I'll convey it." After hearing Zhou Yun tell Lin Junyao to wait for him, Lin Juntian still felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't say anything in the end.

　　"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Your Highness. I'll take my leave now." Zhou Yun said, clasping his fists towards the two people standing there.

　　Without saying anything, Lin Juntian just nodded as a response.

　　After leaving the courtyard where Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin lived, Zhou Yun went straight back to where his sister Zhou Xue lived. At this time, Zhou Xue had already rested. Zhou Yun entered the courtyard and happened to meet Li Yi who was quietly retreating from the room.

　　"Has it been arranged?" Knowing what Zhou Yun was just going to do, Li Yi immediately asked as soon as he saw Zhou Yun.

　　"Well, it's been arranged. The prince and the lady will leave in two days, and they will take my sister with them." Seeing Li Yi's slightly sad face, Zhou Yun patted Li Yi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't let the matter between you and your sister drag on for too long."

　　"Got it." Li Yi responded with a forced smile.

　　After comforting Li Yi, Zhou Yun immediately thought of another thing.

　　Looking at the main house where Zhou Xue originally lived in the center of the courtyard, Zhou Yun said, "Li Yi, aren't there two warriors in your family who were also poisoned by the Soul-Locking Incense? Take me over, I want to treat them. Also, has the poison in the main house dissipated? If not, I'll go in and feel it myself later."

　　"You're crazy!" There was originally a trace of sadness on his face, but after hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Yi immediately put aside the matter of Zhou Xue and jumped up as if his tail was stepped on.

　　Chapter 83: Exploring the Mysterious Thread

　　After Zhou Xue was poisoned and in danger, Li Yi heard of the horrible poison of Soul-Locking Incense for the first time. Li Yi even felt a sense of fear towards this poison.

　　Now that the matter has just been resolved, Zhou Yun actually said that he wanted to re-enter the room containing the poison to "feel" it for himself. How could Li Yi not be surprised?

　　"Zhou Yun, I don't know how you helped Xiaoxue cure the poison, and I don't want to ask. If you want to treat the two warriors of my Li family, I will be very grateful, but I will never agree to re-enter that room. After this incident, I plan to demolish this courtyard and rebuild it, and burn it with a big fire to eradicate all the poisonous gas. Don't make trouble at this time." Shaking his head repeatedly, Li Yi flatly rejected Zhou Yun.

　　Seeing Li Yi's panicked expression, Zhou Yun immediately understood what Li Yi was thinking. The Soul-Locking Incense was extremely difficult to neutralize in the eyes of Li Yi and others, but such a poison was extremely precious in the eyes of Zhou Yun.

　　It can even be said that this Soul-Locking Incense is the best auxiliary product for Zhou Yun to improve his cultivation.

　　If the meridian that the Soul-Locking Incense runs through is really some kind of meridian that is more magical and powerful than the ordinary eight extraordinary meridians of a warrior, even if you don't know how to use it, but once such a meridian is opened, even if you master a little more, the benefits will be obvious.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry. Actually, I went to the Black Dragon Mountains alone this time because I had some adventures and gained a physique that is immune to all poisons, so I made this request. When I was helping my sister detoxify just now, I found that after the toxins of the Soul Locking Incense entered my body, it actually had a certain boosting effect on my cultivation, so I made this request."

　　He looked at Zhou Yun with some suspicion, but Zhou Yun's face was calm at the moment, not even a hint of lying. After confirming that Zhou Yun was not joking, Li Yi asked, "Are you serious? There really won't be any problems?"

　　"Why would I lie to you? I cherish my life more than anyone else. How could I joke about it?" Zhou Yun explained, shaking his head helplessly.

　　Zhou Yun had already expressed his opinion, so Li Yi naturally couldn't stop him. He nodded and asked, "When are you going to help my two warriors detoxify? Also, if Xiaoxue is taken away next, what are your plans?"

　　"Does your house have a secret room? I plan to stay in seclusion in your secret room for half a month to heal my wounds, and then leave quietly after half a month. To others, you can tell them that I have left Heyang. When my sister leaves, you can find a warrior, disguise him as me, and leave with the prince. In this way, my sister and I are gone, and I believe the Zhao family will not keep an eye on you anymore." Zhou Yun had already made up his mind and handled it with ease.

　　After listening to Zhou Yun's arrangement, Li Yi nodded. He knew that this arrangement was almost the most appropriate.

　　"But, in this case, you won't be able to say goodbye to Xiaoxue when she leaves, right?" Li Yi said, recalling Zhou Yun's words.

　　This time when Zhou Yun came back, he had very little time to spend with Zhou Xue, only a little time in total. If possible, Zhou Yun naturally hoped to spend more time with his sister, but now it seemed that time was running out.

　　His expression was slightly dim for a moment, and then Zhou Yun immediately relaxed again. "It's okay. My sister is going to Beijing anyway. I will see her there in a month. If possible, I will go directly to the room where my sister was poisoned after healing the two warriors. You can remove the defenses there. I believe others will not pay too much attention to it. When the time comes, I will leave directly."

　　Although he was reluctant to leave Zhou Xue, Zhou Yun knew better what was most important to him now.

　　"Okay, then you go in first. I will send someone to send the two poisoned warriors in right away. Their current condition is not good. These two warriors are loyal to my family. If possible, we must cure them." Understanding Zhou Yun's intentions, Li Yi didn't say anything more.

　　"Yeah." With a response, Zhou Yun flashed directly into the room where Zhou Xue originally lived.

　　The door of this room had been shattered when Shadow attacked. Later, in order to prevent the poison gas from leaking out and hurting other people, a new door was installed. The room where Zhou Xue originally lived had been completely nailed shut at this time due to the overflowing poison gas.

　　In this way, the soul-locking incense inside did not dissipate much, which was exactly what Zhou Yun wanted.

　　After waiting for a while in the hall of the room, several servants of the Li family came in carrying two stretchers. After putting down the stretchers, the men immediately retreated in panic, obviously fearing the people on the stretchers.

　　He did not show up until several servants of the Li family left, and then Zhou Yun walked over.

　　There was a warrior lying on each of the two stretchers, both covered with black cloth, so their current conditions could not be seen, but Zhou Yun had already felt it when the two warriors were just carried in. The blood and qi of the two warriors were already very weak, but because they were warriors, their conditions were better than Zhou Xue's.

　　Although their qi and blood were weak, Zhou Yun could feel a willpower from these two people, which was the desire to survive.

　　"Sure enough, a warrior with a certain level of cultivation will be stronger than a person without any cultivation, even if he just wants to survive." Feeling the situation of the two warriors, Zhou Yun spoke silently in his heart.

　　Wow!

　　Raising his hand, Zhou Yun lifted the black cloth covering the two warriors, and immediately, two dark faces came into Zhou Yun's sight.

　　The two warriors were both in their thirties, with determined looks on their faces. At the moment, they both had frowns on their faces, and it was obvious that they were enduring a lot of pain.

　　Knowing that the two warriors were poisoned because they rescued his sister from the room filled with poisonous gas, Zhou Yun felt somewhat grateful to them.

　　The two warriors were moved to the inner hall, with one person's distance between them. Zhou Yun sat cross-legged between them, and grasped their wrists with his left and right hands.

　　The moment their skin touched, Zhou Yun immediately felt a spicy scent spreading along his skin and beginning to enter his body.

　　Since he wanted to feel the trajectory of the poison gas running in his body this time, Zhou Yun did not summon out the small iron piece in the space ring, but waited patiently.

　　After the poisonous gas of the Soul-Locking Incense entered Zhou Yun's body, he immediately felt his mind in a trance, but he still tried hard to guard his sea of ​​consciousness and maintain his consciousness.

　　It is not the time to take out the mysterious small piece yet. When he treated Zhou Xue before, because the small piece was taken out too early, the poison gas did not run fully in Zhou Yun's body, and only ran on one side of the body. This time Zhou Yun must let the poison gas run fully in his meridians, so that he can feel the running route of the poison gas more directly.

　　Zhou Yun endured the pain and let the poison spread in his body. Until his consciousness could no longer hold on, Zhou Yun took out the small piece from the space ring and placed it directly on top of his head.

　　After the previous treatment of Zhou Xue, Zhou Yun discovered that the core of this meridian seemed to be in the brain. Placing the small piece here would definitely be more conducive to opening up this strange meridian.

　　After placing the small piece, Zhou Yun immediately withdrew his hands.

　　Now, for Zhou Yun, this poison gas is a precious thing and cannot be used up all at once.

　　As soon as the mysterious piece touched Zhou Yun's body, the Soul-Locking Fragrance poison in Zhou Yun's body immediately began to circulate along Zhou Yun's body. Holding back the pain, Zhou Yun began to feel the trajectory of the poison running through his body.

　　Gradually, a strange feeling came over Zhou Yun's body. Due to the poison gas, Zhou Yun felt very painful, but as the poison gas ran, Zhou Yun could always feel a potential extremely comfortable feeling. The two feelings of pain and comfort intertwined in Zhou Yun's body, making Zhou Yun fall into a strange state. The feeling was painful, itchy, and comfortable, which was hard to describe.

　　Zhou Yun knew that the physical pain came from the toxicity of the Soul-Locking Incense, and that the comfortable feeling was probably the poison gas running regularly in the body, causing the mysterious meridian in Zhou Yun's body to be developed more and more, and that itchy feeling was probably the special product of the interweaving of these two feelings.

　　Sitting cross-legged there, Zhou Yun quietly felt the flow of the poisonous energy in his body. Gradually, a sense of enlightenment was gently grasped by Zhou Yun.

　　But just as Zhou Yun was about to follow this feeling to further comprehend this mysterious vein, that feeling suddenly disappeared.

　　It turned out that all the toxins in Zhou Yun's body had been absorbed by the mysterious little piece.

　　Feeling this situation, Zhou Yun shook his head helplessly and put the small piece back into the space ring. Zhou Yun placed his hands on the wrists of the two warriors again and began to absorb the poison gas again.

　　The time for cultivation this time was extremely long. Two days passed quietly. Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying were also ready to return to the capital at this time.

　　Four carriages had been prepared at the gate of the Li family mansion. In the courtyard of the mansion, Li Yi was saying goodbye to Zhou Xue. Not far away from them stood a man whose figure was very similar to Zhou Yun.

　　Looking closely, this person's eyebrows and eyes are surprisingly similar to Zhou Yun. If you are not very familiar with him, you can't tell that this is not Zhou Yun.

　　"Li Yi, where is Xiao Yun?" Zhou Xue hadn't seen Zhou Yun since two days ago. She knew why the person who looked like Zhou Yun in the distance appeared here. But she still wanted to know where Zhou Yun was.

　　"Xiaoxue, Zhou Yun quietly left Heyang the day before yesterday. He asked me to bring a message to you. When the Shenwei training camp opens in a month, he will come to the capital to see you." Smiling, Li Yi told Zhou Xue a little lie. This was also Zhou Yun's special instruction. If Zhou Xue knew that he was still in the Li Mansion, she would definitely be worried.

　　Chapter 84: Taking a Risk

　　"Has he left?" Zhou Xue murmured softly with a look of disappointment on her face. Since the martial arts exam, Zhou Xue and Zhou Yun have been apart more and more. If it weren't for this injury, I'm afraid the two of them wouldn't see each other for a long time.

　　Originally Zhou Xue wanted to spend more time with Zhou Yun, because once they got married, they would have even less time to meet. However, she didn't expect that this time they only met briefly before Zhou Yun left.

　　Seeing Zhou Xue's sad look, Li Yi wanted to tell her that Zhou Yun was still in the mansion, but thinking about what Zhou Yun had said before, Li Yi swallowed the idea hard.

　　"Xiaoxue, don't be sad. Zhou Yun is in such a hurry to leave for his own safety. Besides, can't you meet again in a month? Moreover, this time when you go to the capital, you can also see Zhou Yun's sweetheart, which can be considered as helping him to keep an eye on her." With a smile on his face, Li Yi consoled her.

　　After hearing what Li Yi said, Zhou Xue's expression finally looked a little better.

　　"Ms. Zhou Xue, please get in." At this time, the young man disguised as Zhou Yun had already boarded the last carriage, and the warriors from the Duke's Mansion also came over to invite Zhou Xue.

　　Nodding to the warrior, Zhou Xue turned to Li Yi and said, "You have to take good care of yourself."

　　Zhou Xue's words of comfort immediately warmed Li Yi's heart. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Remember to write back when you get there."

　　"Yeah." In response, Zhou Xue looked at Li Yi deeply, turned around and walked out of the Li family mansion, and got on the carriage parked outside.

　　At this time, the warrior from the Duke's Mansion who was responsible for inviting Zhou Xue to get in the car walked to Li Yi's side.

　　"This is something prepared by the daughter of the Marquis of Qingshan. Please give it to Young Master Zhou Yun." The warrior said as he handed a small package to Li Yi.

　　"Zhou Yun is not here..." Instinctively, Li Yi wanted to refute.

　　Seeing Li Yi's mysterious smile, the warrior stopped talking and turned away.

　　After returning to the team, the entire team immediately set out and walked out of the city. Looking at the package in his hand, Li Yi shook his head helplessly, "This Zhou Yun, how could he encounter so many monsters."

　　Obviously, the fact that Zhou Yun was still in the mansion had not been hidden from Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin. However, after thinking about it carefully, Li Yi understood that Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin were of noble status and had many powerful subordinates. How could Zhou Yun's tricks be hidden from them?

　　However, even if Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin knew about this, they would not tell anyone about it. Although they could not hide it from these two people, it would be no problem to hide it from the nobles who were still eyeing Zhou Yun.

　　As soon as the convoy left Heyang, a servant immediately ran into the Qin family mansion. All the way to a secret courtyard in the Qin family mansion, the warrior opened the gate and walked in.

　　In the back garden of the small courtyard, an old man and a young woman in red were standing there, and the atmosphere between them was somewhat silent.

　　Seeing the warrior enter the courtyard, the old man who had been standing there without saying anything immediately turned around and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

　　This old man was none other than Zhao Shuo. When the attack on Li's house failed that day, Zhao Shuo was not able to avenge Zhao Guang, so he was naturally unwilling to accept this. He had been staying at Qin's house these days, waiting for an opportunity.

　　Bowing respectfully, the warrior said, "Reporting to Patriarch Zhao, the prince of the Duke of Pingnan and the daughter of the Marquis of Qingshan have already left. They prepared four carriages, and Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue were also taken away by them."

　　As soon as the warrior finished speaking, a flash of anger appeared on Zhao Shuo's already gloomy face.

　　"What kind of shit luck does Zhou Yun have to have a relationship with the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion? Tell me, why does the Duke of Pingnan think so highly of him?!" Zhao Shuo shouted angrily, throwing the teacup in his hand violently.

　　A hint of relief flashed across her face. Qin Lan smiled and comforted him, "Mr. Zhao, don't worry too much. Maybe the prince values ​​Zhou Yun's potential. Those who enter the Shenwei training camp will basically become powerful figures in the dynasty's army. So, maybe the prince wants to win him over to work for the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion."

　　"Hmph, it's not that easy!" Zhao Shuo snorted heavily and said, "Even if he enters the Shenwei training camp, I won't let him off easily!"

　　After leaving a few words, Zhao Shuo walked away.

　　Watching Zhao Shuo leave, Qin Lan smiled softly on her pretty face, "Fortunately, my father has foresight and the Qin family has never offended Zhou Yun. Otherwise, it might really be a problem."

　　To outsiders, it seemed that Zhou Yun had already left with the Prince of Pingnan. At that time, more than just the Qin family's spies saw the scene. All the nobles in the entire Heyang City suffered a great loss.

　　Not only could they not recover the warriors they had lost previously, but they also had to pray that Zhou Yun would not cause them trouble again in the future.

　　Now they have completely lost the opportunity to plot against Zhou Yun. The nobles of Heyang City can only abuse their power locally. In a place like the capital where powerful people gather, these small nobles of Heyang City cannot intervene at all, let alone do anything.

　　All of a sudden, all the nobles in Heyang City fell silent.

　　But they had no idea that Zhou Yun had not actually left the Li Mansion, but continued to heal his wounds and practice in the Li family.

　　In a few days, Zhou Yun had absorbed all the soul-locking incense poison from the two Li family warriors. Although it had not been eradicated, there would be no problem for a while. It would not break out and it would not be contagious. Apart from the fact that his cultivation could not continue to improve and he would often feel mentally exhausted, there were not many other sequelae.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun was sitting alone in the room where Zhou Xue was poisoned, using the last bit of poison gas to open up his own mysterious meridians.

　　Sitting quietly in the room, Zhou Yun had a painful look on his face, quietly feeling that in the room, a faint green breath was moving slowly, constantly penetrating into Zhou Yun's body, bringing a tingling sensation accompanied by a slightly spicy taste.

　　After repeated practice during this period of time, Zhou Yun's mental will has become stronger and stronger. When such poisonous gas enters his body, Zhou Yun can withstand it for a longer time and will not immediately feel that his mind is out of control.

　　After several days of practice, the poison of the soul-locking incense in the room had become increasingly diluted. Finally, the last trace of the poison was absorbed into Zhou Yun's body.

　　"This is the last bit. After this time, I'm afraid there will be no more precious poison gas for me to practice." Feeling the air around him becoming pure again, Zhou Yun spoke out somewhat unwillingly.

　　If other people heard what Zhou Yun said, they would probably be so surprised that their jaws would drop. The Soul-Locking Incense, which even powerful warriors at the innate martial arts master level were afraid of, became a precious auxiliary product for cultivation for Zhou Yun. It must be said that Zhou Yun's mysterious little piece was really too powerful.

　　Sitting there quietly, Zhou Yun felt the poisonous gas of the Soul-Locking Incense in his body continuously spreading and swirling along his body.

　　A pungent pain constantly stimulated Zhou Yun's body and nerves. As he had experienced it many times, Zhou Yun had already figured out the trajectory of this meridian in the body. However, the entire meridian seemed to be missing something and had not been completely opened.

　　Feeling the poisonous gas in his body rising along the mysterious veins of his body and impacting a certain place in his brain, Zhou Yun frowned slightly.

　　During the previous practice, Zhou Yun had been using his mind to guard his sea of ​​consciousness, not daring to let the poison gas enter. However, the poison gas always tried to attack the sea of ​​consciousness along the meridians.

　　"Could it be that the most critical point of this meridian is deep in the sea of ​​consciousness? If I don't let the poison gas enter here, I won't be able to completely open up this meridian?" Recalling his previous experience, Zhou Yun spoke slowly in his heart.

　　These days, Zhou Yun has repeated the process of poisoning, feeling, and using the mysterious little piece to absorb the toxins many times. Every time, Zhou Yun dared not let the toxins enter the sea of ​​consciousness. Because Zhou Yun knew that the sea of ​​consciousness was the most important nerve control point of a person. Once the sea of ​​consciousness was in chaos, the whole person would lose consciousness instantly.

　　If he was poisoned like this, Zhou Yun wouldn't even have time to take out the small piece from the space ring.

　　"What should I do?" If I don't try, all the poison gas will probably be wasted. Frowning, Zhou Yun endured the pain and thought hard in his heart.

　　Suddenly, an idea came into Zhou Yun's mind. He quickly stood up, endured the pain, lit the candle in the room and placed it on the edge of the table. Then he found a piece of wood, supported it with another lampstand, placed one end of the wood on the candle and lit it. Then he stretched the other end of the wood out of the table and placed the small piece in the space ring on the other end of the wood.

　　In this way, as long as the central part of the wood piece is burned by fire, the mysterious small piece placed on the top of the wood piece will fall down and fall just under the table.

　　At that time, Zhou Yun would be sitting there. Even if he lost consciousness, as long as the small piece could fall on Zhou Yun's body, there would be no problem at all.

　　After doing all this, Zhou Yun immediately took the time to sit down under the table, closed his eyes, and relaxed his mind.

　　As Zhou Yun's mind completely relaxed, the poisonous gas of the soul-locking incense immediately entered the depths of Zhou Yun's sea of ​​consciousness.

　　boom!

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun seemed to be thrown into endless darkness and lost consciousness in an instant.

　　Although he no longer felt anything, the moment the poisonous gas of the Soul-Locking Incense entered Zhou Yun's sea of ​​consciousness, his entire temperament changed significantly. He seemed to become even more ethereal, and his whole body exuded a bit of an otherworldly aura.

　　Zhou Yun's poisoned coma lasted for about a minute. Finally, the piece of wood was burned by the candle, and the mysterious small piece placed at the other end of the wood immediately fell down and landed right on Zhou Yun's head.

　　Suddenly, the toxins in Zhou Yun's body began to gather towards that small piece.

　　Chapter 85: Disguise

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had already lost consciousness. As the poison of the Soul-Locking Incense entered his mind, Zhou Yun immediately felt that his body was out of control. His mental will was also lost, and he had completely lost consciousness.

　　But as the mysterious small piece fell on Zhou Yun's body, the toxins that were originally running in Zhou Yun's meridians began to gather again, and gradually gathered through the meridians in Zhou Yun's body and were absorbed by the mysterious small piece.

　　Even though Zhou Yun had lost consciousness, the process of the small piece absorbing the toxin was still extremely smooth, without encountering any obstacles.

　　A quarter of an hour passed, and the last bit of toxins in Zhou Yun's body were absorbed by the mysterious little piece. The toxins in his body were completely eliminated, and Zhou Yun began to wake up.

　　Slowly, Zhou Yun regained consciousness, and the first moment he regained consciousness, he immediately opened his eyes.

　　"Hmm!" With a light snort, Zhou Yun stood up directly, with a look of surprise on his face.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun felt that there were five warriors standing outside the room where he was, plus Li Yi, a total of six people. Zhou Yun could clearly feel the cultivation level and even the positions of these people.

　　Although Zhou Yun had been able to feel these things before, at that time Zhou Yun could only sense the approximate positions of the surrounding warriors, but it was impossible for him to sense the specific positions. But now, Zhou Yun could actually sense all the warriors around him, and even clearly feel their positions, actions, and even the changes in their qi and blood.

　　"Is that mysterious meridian open?" Zhou Yun immediately thought that maybe the mysterious meridian in his body was opened, which was why he felt so sensitive.

　　Standing there, Zhou Yun carefully felt the changes in his body. In addition to feeling more sensitive, Zhou Yun found that his body seemed to become lighter and his thinking became extremely meticulous and agile, as if his entire intelligence had suddenly reached a higher level.

　　These discoveries made Zhou Yun extremely happy, but he still had no idea how to use this newly emerged vein. Generally, when a vein is opened, there must be something that can run in it before it can be truly perfected.

　　It was as if the warrior's ordinary eight extraordinary meridians were filled with true energy, but this new meridian was empty. Zhou Yun also didn't know what kind of power was needed to carry it in order for this new meridian to circulate.

　　After thinking and feeling for a moment, Zhou Yun still couldn't grasp any clue.

　　"Let's not think about it. I'll slowly understand it in the future. Let's see what Li Yi has to do first." Zhou Yun no longer forced it and temporarily gave up on understanding this new context.

　　Walking to the edge of the room, Zhou Yun knocked lightly on the nailed window twice. As soon as the two knocks were made, Zhou Yun immediately felt Li Yi turned his body. It was obvious that Li Yi had noticed the two knocks.

　　Having attracted Li Yi's attention, Zhou Yun slowly retreated and sat down in the front hall of the room. Soon, Li Yi also walked into the room cautiously.

　　"Zhou Yun, are you okay?" Seeing Zhou Yun sitting there, Li Yi closed the door and walked over to ask with concern.

　　Although Zhou Yun said that he was not afraid of the poisonous soul-locking incense, Li Yi was still worried about Zhou Yun after Zhou Yun entered the poisonous room to experience it.

　　"It's okay." Zhou Yun said with a relaxed smile on his face, "Sister has left, right? My injuries should be fully recovered in seven days, and I will leave directly at that time without saying hello to you. Besides, I found that no one is monitoring the Li family's mansion recently, so there is no need for me to go to the secret room, I can just practice here."

　　The courtyard where Zhou Xue lived was facing the street, not far from the street outside. Moreover, after waking up this time, Zhou Yun's control over the surrounding environment became much larger than before. He could almost clearly sense everything within a hundred meters. Even if he couldn't feel things beyond a hundred meters, he would have a vague feeling about it.

　　After discovering that his ability was even more powerful, Zhou Yun directly sensed the surrounding situation and did not find that there were people monitoring outside the courtyard.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Yi's face immediately showed an expression of admiration, "Zhou Yun, your two noble friends are really capable, especially the daughter of the Marquis of Qingshan, who is even more resourceful. When they left, they used a total of four carriages. Not only did they take Xiaoxue with them, but they also found a warrior who dressed up as you and went with them in the carriage. Now everyone in Heyang knows that you left Heyang with the prince, so they naturally stopped watching this place."

　　"So that's how it is." After listening to Li Yi's explanation, Zhou Yun finally understood.

　　"Also, this package was given to you by the daughter of the Marquis of Qingshan." After bringing up this topic, Li Yi took out the package he was carrying and handed it to Zhou Yun.

　　"What is it?" Zhou Yun asked casually after taking the package with some confusion.

　　Li Yi rolled his eyes at Zhou Yun and said, "How can I possibly open and read the things that the daughter of the Marquis of Qingshan gave you?"

　　With a helpless smile, Zhou Yun put away the package and said, "Okay, I'll look at this thing later. I'll continue practicing first."

　　Seeing Zhou Yun say this, Li Yi also stood up and said, "Well, in that case, I won't see you off when you leave."

　　"Okay, take care."

　　"the same as you."

　　After a simple goodbye, Li Yi opened the door and walked out.

　　After seeing Li Yi off, Zhou Yun sat down again and opened the package Fang Xueying gave him.

　　This was the first time Zhou Yun met Fang Xueying, and the two of them didn't say anything at all. Fang Xueying asked Li Yi to give him some things, which made Zhou Yun feel a little strange.

　　"What can the noble lady of Qingshan give me?" With a hint of curiosity, Zhou Yun opened the silk package in front of him.

　　"Secret manuals? And some medicines?" Zhou Yun asked with some confusion as he looked at the things in the package.

　　The things in the package were a bit messy, with a simple thread-bound book and seven or eight small porcelain bottles. No wonder Zhou Yun thought of the two categories of things, secret books and medicines, at the first time.

　　But soon, Zhou Yun found out that he was wrong. Fang Xueying did not give him these two things at all.

　　"Disguise!" When Zhou Yun saw the words on the cover of the book, he immediately exclaimed in surprise.

　　This book is very thin, with only a dozen pages. It records some simple ways to change one's appearance. The small bottles contain some medicinal powder that can help the user conceal their appearance or even make up a person to look like another person.

　　Only then did Zhou Yun understand why Li Yi said that someone who looked like him left Heyang with Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin that day. It turned out that person also used this disguise to look like him and left with Lin Juntian.

　　When Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying left, there were naturally heavy guards around them, and it was impossible for ordinary people to get close to them. The person pretending to be Zhou Yun just walked out of the mansion gate and got on the carriage. As long as he dressed properly, it would be no problem to deceive those spies.

　　"This is a great idea." Recalling the situation that day, Zhou Yun couldn't help but admire it in his heart, "Besides, this disguise technique is easy to learn, and there is a ready-made ointment, so there is no need to prepare it separately. It is really useful to me."

　　After getting such a thing, Zhou Yun's mood became better.

　　Originally, I thought that when I returned to Xiqing Town and entered the Yingdao Sect's power transmission tower, I would probably run into those scum from the Wansheng Sect. But now that I have this book and these medicine bottles, such a thing will not happen again.

　　Now, Zhou Xue no longer has any security concerns, and the Li family will no longer be targeted by other nobles in Heyang City. These issues can be resolved without any worries. The only thing Zhou Yun has to deal with is cultivation.

　　After experiencing these things, Zhou Yun realized how powerful those powerful nobles were. A family in a provincial capital could actually directly send warriors with the cultivation level to the point of exchanging blood for internal organs to hunt him down, and the means were so cruel. This also made Zhou Yun feel more of a crisis.

　　With a casual move, Zhou Yun put the secret book of disguise and several small bottles into the space ring.

　　Returning to the innermost part of the room, Zhou Yun sat cross-legged on the bed where Zhou Xue had originally rested, and took out the small piece from the space ring again.

　　If I want to recover from my injuries, I still have to rely on the efficacy of that mysterious little piece.

　　Sitting there quietly, in a moment, Zhou Yun had entered the inky space in the mysterious piece.

　　Now Zhou Yun's cultivation has reached the realm of tendon training. The most important thing he should practice in this realm is the Wanxiang Thunder Fist. This set of boxing is a rare and powerful secret book in the world, and is even not inferior to those secret methods of the Shadow Knife Sect.

　　The only difference between them is that one is used for bare-handed combat, while the other is for the use of a sword. However, Zhou Yun is still injured and is not suitable for practicing moves directly. He can only start from standing still.

　　As soon as he entered the inky space, Zhou Yun immediately felt the existence of his body. Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun adjusted his state of mind to be completely peaceful. Then he bent his knees slightly and stood up to practice the unique stance of the Wanxiang Benlei Fist, the Wanxiang Thunder Stance!

　　As Zhou Yun stood still, faint arcs of lightning began to gather in Zhou Yun's body.

　　In Heyang City, Zhou Yun has already started practicing, and at this moment, thousands of miles away in the capital, Zhou Xue has arrived at the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion.

　　Lin Junyao was the happiest person to learn that Zhou Yun's sister was taken to the mansion. Under Lin Junyao's strong suggestion, Zhou Xue was arranged to stay in a wing room in Lanxinyuan, and usually kept Lin Junyao company.

　　"Sister Xue, is there anything missing? I'll ask the servants to prepare it." Lin Junyao was helping Zhou Xue put away her daily necessities in the room where she would live in the future. Although she was the daughter of a duke, Lin Junyao arranged her daily life by herself and did not have any maids to serve her. When Zhou Xue moved in, Lin Junyao ran around and helped a lot. She did not act like a duke's daughter at all. This was also a manifestation of loving the house and loving the dog.

　　Looking at the pure, beautiful and kind Lin Junyao, Zhou Xue couldn't help but feel relieved.

　　"What a good girl! If Xiaoyun can really be with her, then I will feel relieved." Unconsciously, Zhou Xue was a little absent-minded.

　　"Sister, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Zhou Xue did not respond to her, Lin Junyao immediately stopped what she was doing and asked.

　　Chapter 86: In Linxiqing

　　Zhou Xue came back to her senses after hearing Lin Junyao's question. Looking at Lin Junyao's pure eyes, Zhou Xue couldn't help but smile. "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of Xiaoyun and was a little absent-minded. Xiaoyun's condition is still very dangerous now. I'm afraid he will get into trouble."

　　When Zhou Xue mentioned Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao also stopped what she was doing, and a hint of longing flashed in her eyes.

　　Although Lin Junyao was also worried about Zhou Yun, in his heart, he trusted Zhou Yun more. That trust was almost beyond description. This trust had begun from the moment Zhou Yun rescued him from the tiger's mouth many years ago.

　　In fact, she agreed to try with Zhou Yun, not to force Zhou Yun to take this dangerous path, but because she could not let go of her feelings for Zhou Yun, and Lin Junyao also knew that if she was determined to be with Zhou Yun, she would pay no less than Zhou Yun.

　　"Sister Xue, don't worry, Zhou Yun will be fine. This time when my brother and sister-in-law go there, they will definitely leave some life-saving methods for him. He is so smart and clever, he will be fine. As long as he can come to the capital and enter the Shenwei training camp, he will be safe for the next period of time." With a slight smile, Lin Junyao spoke softly.

　　It was not that she wanted to arrange any future for Zhou Yun, but Lin Junyao already had a general idea about Zhou Yun's future path.

　　There is a student in this Shenwei training camp who has been a close friend of Lin Junyao since childhood, and her status is even higher than hers. As long as she can ask that person, that person will definitely help her take care of Zhou Yun in the Shenwei training camp.

　　After Zhou Yun leaves the Shenwei training camp, according to Lin Juntian's intention, he will definitely be sent to the Tianyuan Dynasty Navy. In the Southeast Navy, with the foundation of Pingnan Duke Lin Hailong, it is not difficult to keep Zhou Yun. In one or two years, with Zhou Yun's talent, he will definitely have more self-protection capabilities.

　　"Well, I feel relieved when you say that." Knowing that Lin Junyao was of noble status and was more familiar with the current situation of the Lin family, Zhou Xue knew that as long as Lin Junyao cared about Zhou Yun, the Lin family would definitely do their best to protect Zhou Yun.

　　This can be seen from the Lin family's reaction to her being poisoned by the Soul-Locking Fragrance this time. For a person of such a humble status as her, a prince of a duke and a daughter of a marquis actually took the trouble to come to Heyang in person. It must be said that Lin Junyao's attitude played a huge role in this.

　　Seeing that the worried expression on Zhou Xue's face had faded a little, Lin Junyao immediately said happily, "Sister Xue, let's read together. There was a collection of poems yesterday, and there were some things in it that I couldn't understand. Sister Xue, come read it with me."

　　"Okay." After nodding in response, Zhou Xue put down what she was doing and walked out of the room with Lin Junyao.

　　In the capital, Zhou Xue has already lived in the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan. She studies with Lin Junyao every day and lives a stable and peaceful life.

　　At this time, thousands of miles away in Heyang, Zhou Yun's injuries had fully recovered.

　　In that inky world, Zhou Yun was practicing the Myriad Things Thunder Fist. After the mysterious meridian was opened, Zhou Yun suddenly realized that when he was practicing the Myriad Things Thunder Fist before, many of his movements were not standardized, which resulted in the power of the boxing not being fully exerted. But now, Zhou Yun can keenly perceive his shortcomings through practice and can easily find ways to improve.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun already suspected that this new meridian that had been opened was used to enhance human intelligence.

　　After a few days, Zhou Yun could even clearly feel that he had become a lot smarter.

　　As the moves of the Myriad Things Thunder Fist were activated, the lightning arcs on Zhou Yun's body became more and more obvious. During the action, the lightning arcs on his body were much stronger and more obvious than before.

　　After performing the whole set of boxing techniques again, Zhou Yun finally stopped moving.

　　Now that he has entered this ink-colored world, Zhou Yun's consciousness is no longer muddled, and he can record time at will. Now, there should be half a month before the registration for the Shenwei training camp. During this period of time, Zhou Yun must first return to Xiqing Town, open the second level of the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower, and learn the third level of skills.

　　Because once he entered the Shenwei training camp, Zhou Yun knew that he might not have time to return to Xiqing Town for a long time.

　　"It's time to leave." After finishing his practice, Zhou Yun directly left the mysterious small inky space. It was now midnight. Zhou Yun sorted out the things in the package and then spoke slowly.

　　Calming his mind, Zhou Yun quietly felt the defensive power around him. This time he left quietly. Zhou Yun didn't even want to alarm the warriors of Li family. Only by leaving quietly in this way could he be absolutely safe.

　　The dangerous time has passed, and now the Li family's defense is not as strong as before. Although everyone knows that Lin Juntian came for Zhou Yun, given the relationship between Zhou Yun and the Li family, the Duke's son taking care of Zhou Yun is equivalent to taking care of the Li family.

　　No one dared to attack the Li family, so the Li family's defense naturally relaxed.

　　After finding a secret route, Zhou Yun walked lightly for a while and arrived at the edge of the Li family mansion.

　　With a leap, Zhou Yun climbed over the outer wall of the Li family and immediately left Heyang City under the cover of night.

　　After leaving the city, Zhou Yun immediately found a secret place and used the powder in the small bottle to slightly modify his appearance. Then, taking advantage of the night, Zhou Yun quickly moved forward and rushed to Xiqing Town.

　　After recovering at the Li family, Zhou Yun's injuries had completely healed, and he didn't feel tired at all even though he was traveling so fast. Moreover, the situation Zhou Yun was facing was much better than when he first came out. With the disguise technique, Zhou Yun was not worried about being recognized. In addition, the nobles of Heyang City had given up on hunting Zhou Yun, so he could rest assured.

　　After changing horses twice at the post station, Zhou Yun arrived in Xiqing Town in the evening of the next day.

　　The fog in the Black Dragon Mountains had long since dissipated, so naturally there were fewer people gathering here. The current Xiqing Town had turned back into the quiet little town it once was. After a day and a night of traveling, Zhou Yun had only drunk a few sips of water, and there was no food left in his space ring.

　　Although he was anxious, Zhou Yun still planned to stay in Xiqing Town for a while.

　　After leaving the horse at the post station, Zhou Yun randomly chose a restaurant and walked in. This inn was on the main street of Xiqing Town. At dusk, there were not many people inside. Groups of warriors were sitting there, chatting casually.

　　Zhou Yun, who had changed his appearance, was just an ordinary young warrior. There was nothing special about his weapon or clothes, so he did not attract anyone's attention when he walked into the restaurant.

　　"Sir, what would you like to order?" Although the customers in the store would not pay attention to Zhou Yun, the waiter would not ignore him. He ran up directly and spoke attentively.

　　Putting the worn-out three-forged steel knife on the table, Zhou Yun said casually, "Give me some side dishes, and prepare some dry food, water, and beef to pack up. I want to take it away."

　　"Okay, I'll prepare it for you right away." The things Zhou Yun wanted were the standard configuration for an adventurous warrior. He ate a bite in the store and then left with some dry food and water. After responding with a familiar voice, the waiter immediately turned around and prepared things for Zhou Yun.

　　The waiter had left, and Zhou Yun picked up the teacup on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it slowly.

　　On the surface, these actions were very normal, but at this time Zhou Yun had already begun to concentrate secretly and feel the strength of each warrior in the entire inn.

　　Ever since that mysterious vein was opened up and he had the power to sense the cultivation of others, Zhou Yun has made up his mind to check silently every time he arrives at a new place, being cautious in everything.

　　After some investigation, Zhou Yun was shocked to find that there were two warriors in this inn whose cultivation had reached the initial stage of tendon training!

　　Although there are many adventurous warriors in Xiqing Town, they are basically small independent warrior teams without any powerful people. Moreover, if a person's cultivation reaches the realm of tendon training, he can have a good future no matter what he does, so there is no need for him to be an adventurous warrior.

　　Therefore, Zhou Yun naturally paid more attention to the fact that there were two warriors who had reached the muscle training realm in this inn, and that they were obviously together.

　　Zhou Yun remained calm, calmed himself, and quietly began to eavesdrop on these people's conversation.

　　After the mysterious vein was opened, Zhou Yun's hearing was greatly enhanced. Although there were several empty tables between Zhou Yun and the team of four, and the distance between them was at least ten meters, and those people obviously lowered their voices when speaking, Zhou Yun could still clearly hear what they were talking about.

　　"Deacon Wang, we have completely controlled the movements of that little girl. Our people have already kept an eye on her. This time, we will make sure that she cannot escape even if she has wings." With a smirk on his face, one of the warriors who looked like an attendant spoke up.

　　There were four people in that team. Two warriors who were obviously dressed luxuriously were both at the initial stage of muscle training, while the other two warriors who looked crude were only at the peak of skin training and seemed to be just minions.

　　"That's right. This time Deacon Wang and Deacon Xie are here in person to capture her, so naturally there won't be any problem. It's strange to say, although the little girl is only twelve years old, she is so pretty. Her charming eyes, figure, and skin are really one in a million. Once we catch that little bitch, we will let the two deacons have a good time. The two deacons have been in seclusion in Wanshengmen, and I'm afraid they haven't had sex for a long time, right? Hahaha." The two warriors with high cultivation who were called deacons did not speak, but another minion spoke instead.

　　Zhou Yun had been eavesdropping silently, but upon hearing this, his brows immediately frowned.

　　Chapter 87: Successor of the True Spirit Dao

　　From the very beginning, Zhou Yun knew that the people gathered in Wansheng Sect were definitely not good people. Every disciple in it was full of bad intentions. Robbery, theft, and assassination were all their ways to make money.

　　The current Wansheng Sect has long lost the glory of the Wansheng Sect. The purpose of the sect's existence is no longer to pursue the ultimate in martial arts, but to make money. Or in other words, they themselves don't know what the meaning of their existence is.

　　This is exactly the strength of the Tianyuan Dynasty royal family. That battle to wipe out the martial arts sects not only plundered the secret techniques and treasures of many martial arts sects, but more importantly, that battle almost destroyed the Taoist traditions of these martial arts sects.

　　Once the orthodoxy is destroyed, the sect will lose its faith. Even if it unites again in the future, it will not be able to withstand any tremendous pressure and will become a pile of loose sand.

　　This is the situation of Wanshengmen now. A group of peripheral disciples act arrogantly in front of the people all day long, and fawn on the core disciples just to get better skills and elixirs. Once the cultivation level is improved, they can live a better life and do whatever they want.

　　It is impossible for a group of people like this to form cohesion when gathered together, so what kind of fighting power can they have?

　　Upon hearing that these four people were from Wanshengmen and seemed to be hunting down a twelve-year-old girl, and that they wanted to insult her after capturing her, Zhou Yun couldn't help but become angry.

　　At this time, the dishes Zhou Yun ordered had been served. While eating silently, Zhou Yun continued to pay attention to the four people from Wanshengmen in the distance. In addition to the information just now, the subsequent conversations of these Wanshengmen disciples were mostly unbearable to listen to. They just repeatedly mentioned that as long as they caught the girl, they must enjoy it and then bring her back to the sect to receive the reward.

　　A moment later, another warrior who looked like a minion ran in and whispered something in the ears of the two Wanshengmen deacons who were leading them. Then, all of them stood up and walked out of the restaurant quickly.

　　Seeing those warriors from Wanshengmen leave, Zhou Yun silently paid the money, took the packed dry food and water, and walked out of the restaurant.

　　Zhou Yun's cultivation level now is no longer the same as it was more than two months ago. Along the way, Zhou Yun followed the five Wanshengmen warriors from a distance. The two sides were more than 300 meters apart, and Zhou Yun could also ensure that these warriors could not escape from his palm.

　　As long as these people make any unusual movements, Zhou Yun can rush over immediately.

　　The night gradually fell, and the dirt road leading to the Black Dragon Mountains became dim. The moon today was not very bright. Under such moonlight, the dark Black Dragon Mountains in the distance immediately gave people a feeling of depression.

　　The sky was dim and the vision was obstructed, so Zhou Yun quietly closed the distance with the team of warriors in the distance. At this distance, Zhou Yun restrained his blood and his own breath, and was almost certain that those people would never be able to discover him.

　　After walking for more than an hour, the team ahead had already entered the Black Dragon Mountains. At this moment, the distance between Zhou Yun and the team of Wanshengmen warriors had shortened to less than a hundred meters. Within this distance, Zhou Yun was in control of the movements of the team of warriors at the far end, but they had no way of knowing Zhou Yun's location.

　　Entering the dense forest, coupled with the darkness at night, the visibility of the surroundings immediately became lower. The dense bushes blocked the view, and coupled with the rustling sound brought by the evening breeze, at a distance of twenty meters, it was almost impossible to see each other clearly, let alone hear any movement.

　　Under such circumstances, Zhou Yun immediately closed the distance with the Wanshengmen warriors again. Now the distance between the two sides was less than 30 meters. At this distance, Zhou Yun could hear the conversation between the Wanshengmen disciples clearly.

　　"Is this the right place? Are you sure she will come out from here?" At this time, the people in front also stopped, and the Wanshengmen deacon named Wang asked the person next to him.

　　"Deacon Wang, we have confirmed that there will be absolutely no problem. We have summarized this many times. Every night at this time, that girl will definitely bring people past here." A Wanshengmen minion spoke up beside Deacon Wang.

　　"Okay, then let's lie in ambush first. When the girl comes over, I will be responsible for arresting her directly. Old Xie, you will be responsible for holding back the girl's brother, and the remaining three people will go directly to capture her father. That old guy should be getting weaker day by day. As long as you can hold him back and I capture the girl, there is no need to worry about them not surrendering." After receiving an affirmative reply, Deacon Wang immediately made arrangements.

　　"Brother Wang, just wait and see. After we perform meritorious service this time, we will be rewarded with the secret manual and elixir of internal organ training and blood transfusion. This girl is the successor of the True Spirit Dao, and the secrets in her head are extremely valuable. If we catch her, we will be rich in this life." With a chuckle, the deacon named Xie also responded.

　　In a flash, several people immediately ambushed in three directions.

　　After some planning, the Wanshengmen disciples immediately hid in the jungle and formed a net-like trap.

　　In the back, listening to the conversation between these people, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

　　The little girl they were trying to capture turned out to be the successor of the True Spirit Dao!

　　Before the Tianyuan Dynasty launched a massive campaign to wipe out the martial arts sects in the Central Plains, there were more than a dozen martial arts sects active in Shenzhou, among which the five major sects were the top forces. These five major sects included the Liangyi Divine Sect, Tianlong Temple, Guanghua Sect, Jiange and other top-notch martial arts sects, while the Zhenling Sect was as famous as the above four sects and was called the Five Major Sects in the Central Plains.

　　After the operation to wipe out the martial arts sects, all the people from the five major sects seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden. There was no news of them since then, as if they were hidden in time and space.

　　Over the years, various speculations have been circulating among the people. Some people say that these sects have been wiped out, while others do not believe it at all and instead say that these sects have not suffered major damage at all, but have simply followed the trend of the times, become secretive, and developed secretly.

　　These debates are so polarized that people don't know who to listen to.

　　Later, these topics were included in the category of forbidden discussions by the Tianyuan Dynasty, and no one in the market discussed these sects anymore. Over the years, the matter gradually faded away.

　　But in Zhou Yun's opinion, the complete destruction of the five major sects is almost impossible. Those five major martial arts sects are all the top sects in the world, and there are many masters among them. Even if the royal family of the Tianyuan Dynasty has omnipotent abilities, it is impossible for them to completely wipe out the five major sects at once.

　　Now it seems that Zhou Yun's idea is completely correct. Here, he met the successor of the True Spirit Way. But now it sounds like the situation of the successor of the True Spirit Way is a bit bad.

　　"No matter what, I will take care of this matter today." Zhou Yun had made a decision as his thoughts raced through his mind. No matter what, those little girls at the gate of Wansheng were all descendants of the True Spirit Dao. If he could rescue them, he would know more friends, which would definitely be beneficial for his future.

　　Moreover, even if the identity of the little girl is not mentioned, Zhou Yun must take care of such matters.

　　"Attention, they're coming!" Suddenly, a suppressed voice came faintly. It was from the deacon named Xie from Wanshengmen.

　　Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun immediately held his breath and began to concentrate on observing the movements in the distance.

　　In the distance, deep in the dense forest, three figures were staggering out, led by a young man in his twenties, holding a rough nine-ring ghost-head machete in his hand, wearing a red suit, with wild short hair and a somewhat scary scar on his face.

　　Although the distance between them was a hundred meters and it was night, Zhou Yun still saw the young man clearly.

　　Behind the young man, a little girl in blue was supporting an old man as they moved forward with some difficulty.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun saw the little girl, his attention was immediately drawn to her. The little girl was as delicate as a piece of jade and looked extremely pure and beautiful. Perhaps because of the hard journey, a layer of paleness had appeared on the little girl's face, and there was some sweat on her forehead.

　　In terms of appearance, the girl was naturally a beauty picked out of a hundred, but Zhou Yun was not concerned about these things, but about the temperament of the girl in green. The pure, natural aura that came to one's face almost at a glance. The girl seemed to be born to blend with nature. Although she was walking hard and her steps were very staggering, she did not feel uncomfortable at all.

　　Zhou Yun just felt that every movement and every expression of the little girl seemed to be completely integrated into the world, so harmonious.

　　The old man that the little girl was supporting was obviously badly injured. There was a hint of darkness on his face, and he walked with great difficulty.

　　Seeing these three people, Zhou Yun couldn't help but tightly grip the steel knife in his hand. These three people, these bastards from Wanshengmen, had no intention of helping at all, but instead wanted to do something bad. How could Zhou Yun not be angry!

　　"Hahaha! Little girl, we finally got you. Now, let's see where you can run!" At this time, the group of three had already walked into the encirclement of Wanshengmen. The deacon named Xie was the first to fly into the air, laughing wildly and grabbing the girl in green.

　　"Evil villain, don't even think about it!" Seeing Deacon Xie rushing out, the young man holding the nine-ring ghost-head machete immediately roared and rushed forward. At the same time, the remaining three Wanshengmen disciples also rushed out together, attacking the injured old man and the little girl in green behind.

　　The young man in red had been entangled by Deacon Xie and could not get away at this moment. He could only roar angrily.

　　"Xiao Mu, hide quickly, let your father handle this!" Seeing those minions, the injured old man immediately pushed away the little girl in green beside him, suddenly pulled out a nine-section whip from his waist, and went straight forward to meet them.

　　Chapter 88: Unusual Dao Sect

　　Although the old man was injured and looked shaky when he walked, he was not at a disadvantage when fighting.

　　After a closer look, Zhou Yun discovered that the old man's injury was in his calf. His right calf had almost completely lost the ability to move, so it was naturally difficult for him to walk. But now faced with an emergency, the old man was not at all panicked. He bent his body slightly, supporting himself with only his left leg, and brandished a nine-section whip in each hand with great vigor. The three Wanshengmen disciples did not even dare to get close to him.

　　The little girl called Xiao Mu retreated carefully while being on guard against something.

　　Seeing the little girl's actions, Zhou Yun's eyes immediately flashed with admiration. With Zhou Yun's current cultivation level, he could naturally see that the little girl did not have the aura of a warrior at all. It could be said that the little girl had never practiced martial arts.

　　In this situation, she had to retreat first to find a chance to escape, and she would not drag down the old man and the young man. She acted decisively at the critical moment, and Zhou Yun admired her for this character alone. Moreover, when she retreated, she did not run away blindly, but was on guard against something while walking.

　　"Hahaha, little girl, let's see where you can run today!" Suddenly, Deacon Wang jumped out from behind a big tree, stretched out his right hand, and wanted to grab the little girl's neck directly.

　　Seeing this situation, Zhou Yun immediately clenched the steel knife in his hand. At this distance, Zhou Yun threw the steel knife in his hand, which was enough to give Deacon Wang a chill in his heart.

　　Just as Zhou Yun was preparing to take action, the scene in the distance made him open his mouth in surprise.

　　The girl in green clasped her hands together and muttered something. When Deacon Wang was about to catch the girl, two thick branches from the trees on both sides suddenly gathered together, blocking Deacon Wang's way.

　　Not only that, the grass where Deacon Wang landed seemed to have changed in an instant, and a warrior who was just starting to practice tendons slipped and almost fell.

　　Upon closer inspection, Zhou Yun discovered that the grass had fallen down in an instant, exposing the smooth back side, causing the deacon named Wang to almost miss a step.

　　"What kind of ability is this?" Seeing the abnormality in front of him, Zhou Yun forgot to take action and his face was full of horror.

　　That girl in green has no cultivation at all, but why do the plants around her seem to listen to her?

　　"You naughty girl, you're trying to play the same trick on me. This time I'm prepared, you can't escape!" After a stumble, but without falling, Deacon Wang immediately steadied himself and pounced on the girl once again.

　　This time, the little girl's face finally changed. It seemed that her ability was not instantaneous. It would take some time to adjust after using it once. Now, she had become completely powerless.

　　Seeing this situation, Zhou Yun naturally couldn't wait any longer. Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun mobilized the tenth level of strength and threw the three-forged steel knife in his hand out with all his might.

　　This time Zhou Yun really exerted his strength. The steel knife flew out, bringing with it a strong sound of breaking through the air. That kind of powerful force could almost make a person collapse. Logically speaking, Zhou Yun was only a warrior at the beginning of tendon training, and his level was comparable to that of Deacon Wang, but in fact, Zhou Yun's combat power had long surpassed that of a warrior at the beginning of tendon training.

　　"Ah!" Feeling the attack from behind, Deacon Wang immediately turned around and tried to dodge, but Zhou Yun's knife seemed to have calculated his dodge route accurately, and coupled with the extremely fast speed, it seemed to Deacon Wang that Zhou Yun's knife was unavoidable!

　　With a scream of unwillingness, Deacon Wang was instantly stabbed through the heart by the sword thrown by Zhou Yun!

　　Zhou Yun threw the knife with great force, and it penetrated Deacon Wang completely at once. The knife stopped going deeper until the handle was blocked. Afterwards, Deacon Wang was actually thrown back more than ten meters by the powerful impact!

　　"ah!"

　　Originally, she was still being chased by Deacon Wang, but the next moment, the girl in green saw a steel knife piercing through Deacon Wang's back, bringing out a horrible pool of blood. Moreover, Deacon Wang's body was flying towards her direction. She immediately screamed in fright.

　　Before throwing the steel knife, Zhou Yun had already calculated the direction of his knife and was sure that he would not hurt the little girl.

　　Without paying any attention to the little girl's scream, Zhou Yun simply waved his hand, and the Tianyan steel knife in the space ring was already in his hand.

　　In a flash, Zhou Yun flew over like a falcon and pounced directly on the deacon named Xie.

　　"Who are you! I am the deacon of Wansheng Sect. Brother, please give our sect some face!" He had already seen how Deacon Wang died. As soon as Zhou Yun made a move, Deacon Xie knew that this person was definitely not someone he could fight against. He didn't even care about the death of his fellow sect members. Now he just wanted to save his own life.

　　He wanted to strike up a conversation with Zhou Yun, but Zhou Yun didn't want to pay any attention to him at the moment and approached him quickly. Zhou Yun used the pneumatic step to dodge and immediately disappeared in front of Deacon Xie.

　　He just felt a dead hope in his heart, and before he could react, he felt his neck tighten. The next moment, Deacon Xie immediately felt the surrounding scenery spinning wildly in his eyes.

　　It took Deacon Xie two seconds to realize that it was because his head had been separated from his body and flew up.

　　After realizing this, Deacon Xie didn't even have time to shout before his consciousness completely disappeared and his headless body fell heavily to the ground.

　　"Ghost!" The three Wanshengmen minions who were originally besieging the old man saw that the two deacons with the highest cultivation were dead. They immediately screamed madly and wanted to escape from here.

　　To Zhou Yun, these outer disciples of Wanshengmen who were at the Skin Training Realm were no different from ants. He did not even pursue them. Zhou Yun directly took out three gold coins from his space ring, raised his hand vigorously, and the three gold coins were accurately nailed into the eyebrows of the three Wanshengmen disciples.

　　He was able to hit three gold coins at once without even aiming. Zhou Yun was surprised by this move. He had never had such an ability before. But the actions just now seemed to be done subconsciously without even thinking.

　　It seemed that Zhou Yun believed in his heart that he had such ability, and he actually did it.

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun had dealt with all five Wanshengmen warriors. The speed was so fast that even Zhou Yun himself was stunned.

　　After finding that all the enemies were dead, the little girl immediately ran back to the old man, and the young man in red also walked back quickly. What surprised Zhou Yun was that the old man and the young man in red did not put away their weapons, and their faces seemed even more nervous than before, and they were concentrating on guarding against him.

　　Zhou Yun had never expected that such a situation would happen, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

　　The two parties just stood there in a daze, hiding behind the old man and the young man in red. The little girl was not afraid of Zhou Yun. Her big watery eyes looked at Zhou Yun curiously.

　　After a stalemate for a while, the old man saw that Zhou Yun had no intention of attacking, so he put away the nine-section whip in his hand, bowed to Zhou Yun and said, "You must be the descendant of the Nine Star Sect? This skill of scattering flowers and killing people is really well-known. I admire you."

　　"Hmm?" Zhou Yun was stunned after hearing the old man's words. The old man obviously regarded him as the descendant of the 'Nine Star Sect', which Zhou Yun also knew. The Nine Star Sect was originally in Xichuan Province. It was a small family-style sect that was good at using hidden weapons. The unique skill of the Nine Nether Meteor Dart could be practiced to the highest level to instantly launch nine hidden weapons. Not only was each weapon extremely powerful and could break boulders, but it could also turn off the lights and candlesticks without falling down. It was so accurate that it was truly magical.

　　It seemed that it was because Zhou Yun had just thrown out three coins and killed three Wanshengmen warriors that the old man regarded Zhou Yun as the successor of Jiuxingmen.

　　"Old man, you misunderstood. I am not the descendant of Jiuxingmen. I am just a candidate for the martial arts examination. I came to the Black Dragon Mountains to gain experience before entering school. I just saw these evil guys plotting something evil, so I helped them." Zhou Yun bowed and spoke to the people in front of him.

　　When the old man heard Zhou Yun claiming to be a candidate for the martial arts examination, and what he said later was actually about admission, a complicated look immediately appeared on his face, and the look he gave Zhou Yun was even more suspicious.

　　It's no wonder that the old man thought so. The cultivation of martial arts candidates is basically at the skin training level, and it's impossible for them to have such a high level of cultivation as Zhou Yun. He killed two muscle training warriors instantly with one move, and Zhou Yun said that he would enroll in school. After passing the martial arts exam, it seems that there is no need to enroll in any school?

　　After passing the military examination, wouldn't one go directly into the preparatory camp or join the army?

　　Just when the old man was hesitant and didn't know how to fight back, the girl in green suddenly spoke.

　　"Daddy, this big brother is a good man, nothing will happen to him." As he spoke, the little girl came out from behind, looking at Zhou Yun curiously with a pair of bright eyes.

　　It was not until now that Zhou Yun could clearly see the little girl's eyes.

　　What a pair of eyes those were. That pure aura made Zhou Yun feel incredible. It was as if he could feel her simplicity and clarity at a glance, like the purest spring, the clearest sky, and the brightest stars.

　　If a person has an evil heart, seeing such a pair of eyes would even make him feel ashamed.

　　"Huh? What's going on?" Zhou Yun suddenly came back to his senses. He didn't know why, but when he looked at the little girl, his mind was actually sucked away. Zhou Yun had never encountered such a thing before. As a warrior, it was extremely important to keep a firm mind. Even when he met a strong enemy like Shadow, Zhou Yun's mind was not shaken. But when he looked at this untrained little girl, Zhou Yun's mind was almost shaken.

　　This true spiritual way is indeed extraordinary!

　　Chapter 89: House Servant

　　It seemed that he trusted the little girl's words very much. When the little girl said it was okay, the old man and the young man in red, who had originally looked nervous, immediately relaxed their guard.

　　In an instant, the tense atmosphere disappeared and Zhou Yun walked over slowly.

　　"My dear old man, the Black Dragon Mountains are a place of trouble. You are injured, why did you come here?" Looking at the old man, Zhou Yun asked.

　　The old man's cultivation level was not very high, he was just at the peak of bone training. Moreover, at his age, it was already very difficult for him to improve his cultivation level. It seemed that this group of people did not look like adventurous warriors, so Zhou Yun asked this question.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's question, the old man immediately felt ashamed. "Excuse me, my family was originally hunters in eastern Sichuan. When I was hunting before, I was bitten on my calf by a seven-colored krait. Only the Sky Crystal Stone in the Black Dragon Mountains can absorb the poison of the seven-colored krait. The two children felt sorry for me and suggested to look for it in the Black Dragon Mountains. But they didn't find the Sky Crystal Stone, but were targeted by the Wansheng Sect. Today, I am grateful for your help, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

　　"A hunter from East Sichuan?" After hearing what the old man said, Zhou Yun showed a hint of doubt on his face. If she was just an ordinary hunter from East Sichuan, why was this little girl called the descendant of the True Spirit Dao by those people from the Wansheng Sect?

　　I’m afraid that what this old man said is still false.

　　"Big brother, my father didn't lie." Just as Zhou Yun was thinking about it, the little girl in green spoke.

　　Hearing this, Zhou Yun was immediately surprised. Just now, Zhou Yun had a little doubt in his heart, but the little girl actually saw it immediately?

　　"You...?" Looking at the little girl, Zhou Yun was so shocked that he was speechless.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's embarrassment, the old man immediately showed a simple smile on his face, "Don't blame me, benefactor, it's also my fault that I didn't explain it clearly. My daughter's name is Mu Yue. When she was three or four years old, she had some adventures. She was valued by a traveling True Spirit Dao immortal and was given a mental method. She has been practicing silently over the years. Although her cultivation is not very high, she has the ability to command plants and see through people's hearts."

　　As soon as the old man explained, Zhou Yun blushed immediately. Thinking that he actually suspected such a family, Zhou Yun felt a little embarrassed.

　　But then, Zhou Yun concealed his emotion and said, "Old man, the people from Wansheng Sect have already set their sights on you. If you continue to stay here, it may be disadvantageous to you. You should know that Zhenlingdao has disappeared for a long time, and many people want to find clues about it. If this news gets out, it may pose a great threat to your safety."

　　A trace of worry appeared on his face. The old man said, "I know that, but there is nothing we can do now. I am afraid that it will be a burden to you, my benefactor. The people from Wanshengmen are not easy to deal with. How can I feel at ease when you have been in such trouble out of nowhere because of us?"

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun said, "It is only right to help those in need when seeing injustice. Don't think too much about it, old man. It just so happens that I know something about medicine. Let me help check your leg first."

　　"My benefactor also knows medicine?" After hearing Zhou Yun say this, the old man became even more surprised.

　　"Big brother, take Xiao Mu to guard the surrounding area. I will take a look at the injury on my father-in-law's leg." With a mysterious smile, Zhou Yun did not answer, but ordered the young man in red to take Xiao Mu away.

　　Zhou Yun knew that he didn't know any medical skills, and the reason he could heal people was because of that mysterious little piece. The old man's leg became like this because of poisoning. As long as it was poison, Zhou Yun was sure to treat it.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the young man in red did not leave directly, but looked at the old man first. When the old man nodded, the young man in red took Xiao Mu and walked away.

　　After making sure that the young man in red and Xiao Mu had gone far away, Zhou Yun helped the old man sit down.

　　"My benefactor, don't you need to prescribe medicine to treat the disease?" Seeing that Zhou Yun did not make any other preparations and seemed to want to treat him directly, the old man spoke in surprise.

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun did not reply, but directly reached out and pinched the old man's wrist. Suddenly, a powerful force of thunder and lightning was transmitted, and the old man had no time to react and was electrocuted by the thunder and lightning force from Zhou Yun and fell into coma.

　　Although he was preparing to heal the old man, Zhou Yun didn't want others to see his methods.

　　After confirming that the old man was unconscious, Zhou Yun took out the mysterious piece from the space ring, placed it on the back of his hand, and then placed his right hand on the old man's poisoned leg.

　　Although the venom of the seven-colored ring snake is also very strong, it is not as troublesome as the soul-locking incense. The veins through which the venom flows are the normal blood vessels of the human body, so it is not difficult to eliminate it.

　　After finding out the injuries on the old man's body, Zhou Yun immediately used his strength to probe into the old man's leg meridians and began to absorb the toxins.

　　This process is much simpler and faster than when Zhou Yun treated Zhou Xue.

　　In a short moment, Zhou Yun had already controlled the toxins in the old man's body, and began to slowly introduce the toxins into his own body, and then injected them into the mysterious small piece.

　　This process continued for about a cup of tea, and Zhou Yun had almost absorbed all of the seven-colored ring snake's venom in the old man's body.

　　Seeing that the old man was about to wake up, Zhou Yun immediately took a deep breath and absorbed all the poison in one go.

　　After the treatment, the old man's originally black calves had returned to normal, except for some residual dark color, they were no different from those of ordinary people.

　　With a slight frown on his brows, the old man finally woke up from the numbness caused by the clicking. The first thing he saw was Zhou Yun sitting next to him with a smile on his face.

　　"Benefactor?" Thinking back to the scene just now, the old man only remembered that he felt a strong electric shock and lost consciousness in an instant. He is still a little confused now.

　　"Father-in-law, please stand up and take a look. Do you feel better?" Zhou Yun said with a gentle smile to the old man.

　　"What? I'm healed already?" Hearing Zhou Yun say this, the old man's eyes immediately lit up. He hurried to look at his calves, only to find that his originally black calves had turned into a normal color, and there was no trace of the black toxin left.

　　Moreover, with the old man's level of cultivation, he could naturally feel that the blood circulation in his legs had been restored and he had regained consciousness.

　　After slapping the ground, the old man stood up directly. He just felt his legs were a little weak, but everything else was fine.

　　"Benefactor! How...how did you do this?" Feeling that his legs had recovered in such a short time, the old man's eyes changed when he looked at Zhou Yun.

　　Silently shaking his head, Zhou Yun said, "These are some of my own little secrets, so I won't tell you."

　　"I understand, I understand. I'm sorry for being rude." After waving his hands to apologize repeatedly, the old man didn't ask any more questions.

　　"Xiaotie, Xiaomu, come here quickly, your benefactor has cured my leg." Excited, the old man directly called the young man in red and the little girl in the distance to come over.

　　Hearing their father's call, the two also ran over quickly. Seeing that their father, who had difficulty walking, had recovered in such a short time, Mu Tie and Mu Yue shouted in surprise.

　　"My benefactor, you not only saved our lives, but also healed my legs. From now on, no matter what your request is, we will go through fire and water for you." The three of them talked happily for a while, and the old man Mu immediately turned around and spoke to Zhou Yun with a grateful look on his face.

　　"Don't call me a benefactor. I just have this ability and I'm helping you out. It's not for you to repay me. If there's nothing else, you'd better leave here as soon as possible. I have other things to do and can't stay long." The matter had been resolved. Zhou Yun was thinking about the martial arts in the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower and had no intention of staying any longer.

　　The others really wanted to obtain the unique skills of the True Spirit Dao, but Zhou Yun judged from the words just now that the little girl Mu Yue did not actually have any truly profound martial arts of the True Spirit Dao. She was just met by someone from the True Spirit Dao when she was young and was given a basic secret book.

　　Moreover, even if the little girl really had the unique skills of the True Spirit Dao, Zhou Yun would not rob her by force. Such a thing was really against his heart. Zhou Yun knew that if a warrior wanted to improve in the future, it was very important to have a firm mind.

　　Zhou Yun was not born to be an evil person. He couldn't do evil every day and take it for granted. He was firm in his heart.

　　If he did something evil, I'm afraid my conscience would be shaken.

　　After leaving a few words, Zhou Yun wanted to turn around and leave.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun was about to leave so decisively, Old Man Mu immediately became a little anxious.

　　"My benefactor, wait a minute." Old Man Mu took a step forward and grabbed Zhou Yun.

　　"Father-in-law, is there anything else?" Zhou Yun turned around with some surprise, looked at the three people behind him and asked.

　　After thinking for a while, Old Man Mu said, "My benefactor, I see that you are not that old. You said you were a candidate for the martial arts exam, but you also mentioned something about admission. What's going on?"

　　Although he was a little surprised why Old Man Mu asked these questions, Zhou Yun did not hide it. "I am indeed a candidate for the martial arts exam. I ranked first in a region this year. As for admission, it was because I ranked first in the region that I was selected into the Shenwei training camp and did not directly enter the army."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Old Man Mu immediately showed a look of shock on his face. The name of the Shenwei Training Camp has really reached the level that everyone knows in the Tianyuan Dynasty. You know, the military position of the Tianyuan Dynasty is very high, and those generals with outstanding military exploits are all idols of the entire dynasty.

　　If you want to know about these generals, their origins must be well known to everyone. Among the current generals of the Tianyuan Dynasty, many of them came from the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　After looking at Zhou Yun carefully and thinking for a moment, the old man Mu seemed to have made up his mind. He said to Zhou Yun solemnly, "My benefactor, I'm afraid that the news that Xiao Mu is the descendant of the True Spirit Dao has spread. Now our family is desperate. If you don't mind, I would like to bring Xiao Mu and Xiao Tie to you. Even if I serve as your servants, it would be great."

　　"Servant?" After hearing what Old Man Mu said, Zhou Yun immediately opened his mouth in surprise.

　　Chapter 90: Advantages of War Puppet

　　Although Zhou Yun also knew that he would have to establish loyalty and his own power in the future, he really had never thought about bringing the people in front of him under his command.

　　"My benefactor, since you are going to the Shenwei Training Camp, your future prospects must be very bright. Although my son and I are not talented, we still have some skills and can help you to look after your home. Even if you join the army, you will definitely need a few trustworthy people around you. Moreover, it will definitely be good for you to keep Xiao Mu around." Seeing Zhou Yun's expression, Old Man Mu knew that Zhou Yun had never had such an idea before. Afraid that Zhou Yun would refuse, Old Man Mu immediately persuaded him.

　　Old Man Mu himself knew that if the news that Mu Yue was the successor of the True Spirit Dao leaked out, what would be waiting for his family would probably be endless hunting. If they could not find a backer, their future life would surely be one of wandering and misery.

　　Although it is not difficult for the three of them to find a host with their cultivation level, there is no guarantee that their future master will not covet the True Spirit Dao secret book on Mu Yue. If they rashly surrender, they may end up falling into a trap.

　　Zhou Yun has gained Mu Yue's trust, which means that Zhou Yun must be a reliable person. And the people in the Shenwei training camp can be sure to have a good future. Such a master is definitely rare.

　　Looking at the three people in front of him, Zhou Yun pondered silently in his heart. Although he had no intention of harming anyone, he was definitely not stupid. He knew exactly what old man Mu was thinking when he wanted to surrender to him.

　　"Father, to be honest with you, although I have entered the Shenwei training camp, I was born a servant and have no power or influence, and I have many enemies behind me. If you follow me, the situation may not be much better." After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun spoke sincerely.

　　Zhou Yun also thought about what old man Mu said. Now he only has one person under his command, that is Zhang Hao who was subdued from Wanshengmen. Zhang Hao's cultivation is average, and it can be said that he is just a running errands role. It can be said that Zhou Yun does not have a single decent person under his command.

　　As for the three people in the Mu family, old man Mu is at the peak of bone training, Mu Tie is at the initial stage of tendon training, and although little Mu Yue has no cultivation, the abilities she possesses after practicing the True Spirit Dao secret book are probably what Zhou Yun needs most.

　　It is not impossible to bring these three people under his command, but Zhou Yun also needs to tell them his actual situation.

　　When he heard that Zhou Yun was actually the son of a servant, Old Man Mu's face showed an expression of admiration.

　　Bowing deeply to Zhou Yun, Old Man Mu spoke slowly, "My benefactor, I never thought that you, a servant from outside, could have such a high level of cultivation. With your age and cultivation, you are definitely a genius among the younger generation of the Tianyuan Dynasty. As for our enemies, we are not afraid. Even if we don't follow you, the danger we face is great enough. Following a righteous person like you, and caring for each other, we will surely be able to turn danger into safety."

　　Old Man Mu had already said so much, so Zhou Yun did not refuse. He nodded and said, "Okay, since the old man trusts you so much, then you three will stay with me from now on. I will leave for the capital in ten days. I have some things to do in the Black Dragon Mountains in the next few days, so it is not convenient for you to follow me. I will leave you an address and contact information. You go to Pingliang City to find a man named Zhang Hao. Although he works for Wanshengmen, he is actually my subordinate. Let him arrange for you to hide in Pingliang City, and we will meet up in ten days."

　　"We will just follow your orders, sir." Since Zhou Yun had decided to take them in, Old Man Mu naturally changed the way he addressed Zhou Yun.

　　Knowing that Zhou Yun must have his own things to do and it was not convenient for him to accommodate them, Old Man Mu did not say much. He directly took the address written by Zhou Yun and responded.

　　With a wave of his hand, Zhou Yun took out another ten purple gold coins and handed them to Old Man Mu. "Old man, take these ten purple gold coins. Don't go out easily after you arrive in Pingliang. Ask Zhang Hao to do anything. Rest well. We will go to the capital in ten days."

　　"Understood, sir." Nodding respectfully, Old Man Mu did not refuse and took the purple gold coin handed over by Zhou Yun.

　　"You guys go now. I'm leaving too. See you in ten days." All the things that needed to be explained had been explained, so Zhou Yun didn't stay any longer. After leaving a few words, Zhou Yun jumped up and disappeared from the sight of the three people from the Mu family in a flash.

　　Watching Zhou Yun leave in a flash, Mu Tie looked at Old Man Mu in a daze and said, "Dad, with our cultivation, it's not a problem for us to hide our identities and find a way out. Why do we have to follow him?"

　　Mu Yue on the side still had the mentality of a child. At this moment, she found something fun and started to tinker with it by herself. She didn't care at all whether to follow Zhou Yun or not.

　　Looking at the happy Mu Yue, Old Man Mu said sadly, "Xiao Tie, Xiao Mu is getting older and more beautiful. In addition, he is related to the True Spirit Dao. If he does not find a big enough backer, his future days will definitely become more and more difficult. He has no idea what will happen. Benefactor is from the Shenwei Training Camp. He has such a strong cultivation at such a young age. He must have a bright future. And even if we don't consider these, a good person like Benefactor is worth following."

　　After hearing what Old Man Mu said, Mu Tie thought about it and finally nodded.

　　Seeing that his son had figured it out, Old Man Mu pulled up the lively little Mu Yue and said, "Xiao Mu, let's go. We still have to go to Pingliang. This place is not suitable for staying for a long time."

　　"Well, let's go, Dad." Nodding, little Mu Yue followed his father and brother and began to walk towards the outskirts of the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　After separating from the three people from the Mu family, Zhou Yun ran straight to the Yingdao Sect's power transmission tower. While on the way, Zhou Yun was still thinking in his heart. Zhou Yun was very satisfied with recruiting these three people from the Mu family this time. The cultivation of old man Mu and Mu Tie was very good, and the ability of the little girl Mu Yue was also what Zhou Yun needed.

　　In the future, when he enters the capital, or even joins the army, Zhou Yun will need to face all kinds of people. With Mu Yue by his side, Zhou Yun can easily see through many things, which will be very useful for him to make some key judgments in the future.

　　While he was thinking, Zhou Yun had already arrived at the pool where the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower was hidden. Holding his breath and concentrating, Zhou Yun calmly felt the surrounding environment. After confirming that there was no one nearby, Zhou Yun dived into the water. With ease, Zhou Yun entered the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower directly.

　　The war puppets on the first floor had been killed by Zhou Yun, and now the place was still empty as before. Zhou Yun did not stay for long and walked straight into the second floor of the Power Transmission Tower.

　　On the second floor of the Power Transmission Tower, at the central staircase, the black-clad war puppet was still standing there, motionless, like a statue.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun took out the Tianyan steel knife from the space ring and prepared himself.

　　The last time Zhou Yun challenged the war puppet, his cultivation was only at the peak of bone training and he had not yet entered the tendon training stage. But now, Zhou Yun's cultivation has reached the tendon training level. Zhou Yun believes that he is now capable of defeating the war puppet.

　　call!

　　Having already made preparations, Zhou Yun swung his sword and charged forward. The moment he stepped into the red line, the war puppet on the opposite side immediately moved. When the war puppet moved, Zhou Yun could even feel the direction of his movement at the first moment.

　　Ding, Ding, Ding!

　　Along with the sparks from the collision of swords, Zhou Yun and the war puppet had become entangled together.

　　Sure enough, after entering the muscle training stage, Zhou Yun's pressure when fighting against the war puppet suddenly decreased, and now Zhou Yun even felt somewhat at ease.

　　After this period of time, Zhou Yun's actual combat ability has made great progress compared to when he left the Power Transmission Tower, and now it has become very easy to deal with this war puppet.

　　"In that case, let's make quick work of it. After getting rid of this war puppet, immediately start learning the third level of martial arts." After the first test, Zhou Yun knew that this war puppet was no longer enough to cause him too much trouble. After struggling for a while, Zhou Yun immediately wanted to end the battle quickly.

　　Just as Zhou Yun was preparing to use the power of the All-Seeing Thunder Fist to directly resolve the battle, suddenly, a strange inspiration entered Zhou Yun's heart.

　　Zhou Yun suddenly felt that when the war puppet in front of him used the phantom sword to fight him, the way and speed of the sword, as well as the movement of the body seemed to be somewhat different from his own.

　　Although the movement and attack of this war puppet were not as fast as his own, Zhou Yun vaguely felt that the way this war puppet exerted its force was correct, while his own way had some problems.

　　For example, when it came to bending and lifting the weapon, the war puppet felt very light and agile, without any sense of stagnation at all. However, when Zhou Yun used this weapon, although his movements were also very fast, it always felt a little bit awkward.

　　After discovering this difference, Zhou Yun immediately began to observe carefully. Ever since the mysterious vein was opened, Zhou Yun's own senses have become much sharper than before. If this problem had happened in the past, Zhou Yun might not have felt it at all.

　　Finally, the war puppet used the move of bending and lifting again. Holding his breath and observing carefully, Zhou Yun immediately discovered the difference between the war puppet and himself when using this move.

　　When Zhou Yun used this move, he bent both legs at the same amplitude, lifted his heels, and then swung the knife upward with force. However, every time he did this, Zhou Yun felt a slight numbness in the lower back, which did not seem very comfortable.

　　When the war puppet used this move, its left leg was bent, the sole of the foot was completely on the ground, and its right leg was loosely supported.

　　As soon as he saw the posture of the war puppet, Zhou Yun understood that it must be much easier for the war puppet to exert force than himself.

　　Although he hadn't used it yet, Zhou Yun had practiced martial arts for a long time, so he could see the benefits of this posture. By using this method to exert force, Zhou Yun could use his left leg to maintain balance and his right leg to move when the opportunity arose, thus ensuring maximum flexibility. Moreover, when swinging the sword with one leg bent, the force on the waist and back was much lighter than when both legs were bent, so the force exerted was naturally smoother.

　　After figuring this out, Zhou Yun was no longer in a hurry to end the battle, because he found that there were still many things worth learning from this war puppet.

　　Calming his mind completely, Zhou Yun began to fight while learning the advantages of this war puppet in using the phantom sword.

　　Chapter 91: The Secret of the Sword Shock

　　The war puppet was guarding the second floor of the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower, and was using the Shadow Blade Sect's second floor magic sword skills, which also included some use of speed swords. After discovering that there was something wrong with his way of exerting force, Zhou Yun had been carefully observing the way the war puppet exerted force in every move.

　　Gradually, some of Zhou Yun's bad habits were corrected.

　　Ever since that mysterious vein was opened up, Zhou Yun's observation and learning abilities have made a leap forward. After his movements were corrected, Zhou Yun's force and speed when using the speed knife and phantom knife have been significantly improved.

　　The battle with the war puppet lasted for two hours. Zhou Yun's own physical strength was not a problem, but the war puppet opposite him had already shown signs of exhaustion. Using the mysterious little piece to practice, Zhou Yun's physical strength and power were much higher than those of normal warriors, but the war puppet did not have such abilities as Zhou Yun.

　　"I have learned everything there is to learn. It's time to end the battle." Knowing that he could not learn anything more from the war puppet, Zhou Yun was ready to end the battle.

　　While swinging his sword to fight with the war puppet, the power of the All-Things Thunder Fist quietly floated in Zhou Yun's body. As Zhou Yun used the power of the All-Things Thunder Fist, strands of blue lightning arcs also leaped on Zhou Yun's body.

　　"Thunder Finger!" Suddenly, Zhou Yun's left index finger pointed forward and hit the war puppet's neck. Immediately, a powerful force of thunder and lightning directly penetrated the war puppet's throat.

　　After being hit hard by Zhou Yun, the war puppet's body trembled violently and finally fell to the ground with a bang.

　　nail!

　　As the war puppet died, the sword in its hand fell directly to the ground, splashing sparks after it came into contact with the ground.

　　When Zhou Yun saw the pure black steel knife, he immediately felt secretly happy.

　　When fighting with the war puppet, Zhou Yun already felt that the sword used by this war puppet was stronger than the one he was using now. This was also what Zhou Yun had expected a long time ago. The war puppets in each level of the power transmission tower had higher cultivation than the previous level, and their weapons would naturally be better than the previous level.

　　Zhou Yun picked up the pure black steel knife. As soon as he held it in his hand, he felt a warm and pure feeling, just like holding a piece of jade.

　　"It's Persian black jade steel." Although he had never seen it before, the feel of the sword in his hand immediately made Zhou Yun know that this must be the black jade steel sword unique to the Persian Empire.

　　Black jade steel originated in the Persian Empire. It is a special steel with a texture similar to jade. It is not heavy and does not look very strong, but it can withstand extremely strong pressure and impact and is also extremely sharp.

　　The most important thing is that this black jade steel has a property that it will not be stained by blood. No matter how many people are killed, this black jade steel will never be stained with blood. It is extremely magical.

　　"This sword alone is probably worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver." Zhou Yun marveled in his heart as he stroked the slightly cool blade of the black jade steel sword.

　　Although this sword is extremely valuable, Zhou Yun has no intention of exchanging it for money. After all, the black jade steel sword is a rare good sword and it will definitely be useful in the future.

　　After putting away the black jade steel knife, Zhou Yun looked at the spiral staircase in front of him. He had already passed the second floor of the power transmission tower, and the next floor should be the third floor. The war puppets on the first floor of the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower were at the peak of bone training, and the second floor was at the peak of tendon training. If we follow this line of thought, the third floor is likely to be at the peak of organ training and blood exchange.

　　If this is the case, I am afraid that after entering the red circle of the third level, I might even be killed directly.

　　Zhou Yun knew that among the five levels of martial arts training, training the skin, bones and tendons all belonged to the category of external training, and once it came to training the organs and exchanging blood, the martial arts ability would undergo a qualitative change. Almost two levels higher, with the help of the mysterious little piece, Zhou Yun's actual combat ability was actually far stronger than his own cultivation, but whether he could withstand the attack of a martial artist at the peak of training the organs and exchanging blood was still an unknown.

　　Recalling the previous battle with Shadow in Xiqing Town, Zhou Yun almost died in just a few rounds. Now facing the war puppet on the third floor of the Transmission Tower whose cultivation level may be even more terrifying, what should he choose?

　　While thinking, Zhou Yun had already walked up the spiral staircase step by step and arrived at the third floor of the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower.

　　As soon as he stepped into the third floor, Zhou Yun immediately felt that he was trapped in an extremely cold state. His entire body was enveloped by a group of terrifying attitudes and he was almost numb.

　　Trying hard to stabilize his body, Zhou Yun relaxed his mind and let the terrifying pressure pass through his body. This method was something Zhou Yun had already mastered when he first entered the second level of the Power Transmission Tower.

　　It is being used now and can still achieve good results.

　　After solving the pressure problem, Zhou Yun turned his gaze to the black figure standing quietly in front of the far stairs.

　　"Is this the third-level war puppet? This aura is really terrifying." Looking at the black figure in the distance, Zhou Yun felt an almost irresistible force. Although the war puppet did not move, Zhou Yun did not dare to take it lightly at all.

　　After a warrior enters the state of training the internal organs and exchanging blood, his true strength can be released from his body and he can attack from a distance. In this way, as long as Zhou Yun steps into the range of the red line, he will most likely be hit immediately!

　　Looking at the red line so close in front of him, Zhou Yun decided not to go in yet, but to record the secrets in these three layers first.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun calmed down and began to observe.

　　Like the first two floors of the Kung Fu Transmission Tower, the walls of the third floor were also engraved with a lot of text and diagrams. At the very beginning, two big characters were printed there: Shocking Knife!

　　When Zhou Yun saw these first two inscriptions, he vaguely felt that he seemed to have grasped some clue.

　　After reading it carefully, Zhou Yun discovered that the text on the shaking knife was not an explanation of sword techniques, but a description of some ways to circulate internal energy and exert force.

　　In the accompanying pictures, the moves launched by the warriors are mostly speed sword and phantom sword moves, but every time the sword is swung, a forward light and shadow will appear on the pattern.

　　"This vibration knife technique is a method of using knife skills to stimulate the true energy in the body to attack outside the body?" Looking at the patterns in front of him, Zhou Yun also made a judgment in his mind.

　　The previous speed sword and phantom sword were both moves, while this vibration sword is for condensing internal energy.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately began to experiment. Holding his breath and concentrating, Zhou Yun suddenly swung a knife forward.

　　brush!

　　As the knife mark passed, a burst of energy immediately gushed out from Zhou Yun's knife, transforming into a blade of energy that actually reached a distance of more than two meters!

　　"It is indeed like this!" Seeing that his experiment was effective, Zhou Yun immediately determined the purpose of this vibration knife.

　　Now Zhou Yun has not reached the stage of internal organ training and blood transfusion, so his true energy cannot leave his body. However, the sword arc just now could draw a distance of more than two meters, mostly because the true energy in Zhou Yun's body is stronger than that of ordinary warriors. Therefore, the sword energy is the effect brought about by the vibration of Zhou Yun's internal energy, and it did not really leave his body.

　　After realizing this, Zhou Yun immediately followed the red line and began to look at the pictures on the wall one by one. The sword-shaking technique recorded on the third floor of the Shadow Sword Sect's power transmission tower was divided into three main points.

　　The three key points are agility, strength and explosion.

　　The Ling character technique allows the internal energy to circulate in the body for a very short time, and can detonate the true energy in the body in a very short time to achieve the purpose of out-of-body attack.

　　The force used in the "Gang" technique is relatively heavy, and the power released by the sword is also the greatest.

　　The "Explosion" technique has the longest attack distance among the three techniques, and it also takes the longest time for internal energy to be used.

　　Agile and fast, powerful and able to attack from a long distance, this vibration knife already encompasses the three most commonly used methods of releasing true energy from the body.

　　"Although I haven't reached the realm of training internal organs and exchanging blood yet, these tips are still very useful. I should practice these tips first. Once I enter the realm of training internal organs and exchanging blood, my combat capability will surely take a new leap forward." After reading the three methods carved on the wall in front of him, Zhou Yun pondered silently in his heart.

　　Having made the decision, Zhou Yun immediately began to practice bit by bit according to the records on the wall.

　　This time when Zhou Yun was practicing, he paid special attention to the correct operation route of the internal breath force in the Zhendao Secret Art, and demanded to do his best in details. With this mentality, and the learning ability brought about by opening up that mysterious vein, Zhou Yun was able to master the Zhendao Secret Art completely and correctly in one go.

　　Although Zhou Yun is still unable to use true energy out of his body, he can already use the shock knife quite well.

　　Although he has only reached the initial stage of tendon training, Zhou Yun's true strength is much stronger than that of a warrior at the initial stage of tendon training, and is even not weaker than a warrior at the peak of tendon training. Although the force he exerts according to the method of shaking the sword cannot reach that of a warrior who has truly practiced internal organ blood exchange and can leave the body, the intensity of his attack is already very fierce.

　　It took Zhou Yun three days to fully master the key points of the shock knife.

　　call!

　　Exhaling deeply, Zhou Yun stopped practicing. Now, he had completely mastered the key points of the Zhendao, and it was time to leave this place.

　　After staying here for three days, Zhou Yun has already adapted to the strong pressure brought by the war puppet.

　　Looking at the war puppet in the distance, Zhou Yun suddenly took a light step with his right foot and stepped into the red line.

　　bass!

　　As soon as Zhou Yun's foot crossed the red line, the eyes of the war puppet at the far end opened immediately, and the sword held in front of the chest was drawn out in an instant. At the moment the sword was drawn, a sharp sword energy shot straight towards Zhou Yun!

　　Zhou Yun had already made preparations, and he directly swung the Tianyan steel knife in his hand to fight back.

　　bump!

　　There was a violent collision, and Zhou Yun was pushed directly into the wall behind him, and his hands felt numb.

　　Looking again, the war puppet at the far end had closed its eyes again and returned to its previous state.

　　Chapter 92 Preparing to Go to Beijing

　　After a collision, Zhou Yun had been pushed out of the red line by the huge force. Looking at the war puppet in the distance that fell into silence again, Zhou Yun put away the steel knife in his hand with lingering fear.

　　"It is indeed the peak of internal blood transfusion training. Fortunately, I was not too impulsive." Rubbing his hands, Zhou Yun tried his best to relieve the numb feeling, secretly feeling fortunate.

　　When a warrior reaches the realm of training the internal organs and exchanging blood, and the true power leaves the body, the combat power is completely different. The war puppet on the third floor of the power transmission tower is definitely not something Zhou Yun can defeat at the moment. If Zhou Yun wants to defeat him, he must at least reach the realm of training the internal organs and exchanging blood.

　　After entering the third floor of the Power Transmission Tower, Zhou Yun did not choose to step into the red line immediately to try the attack of the war puppet, but waited until he had mastered some of the key points of the shock knife before going in to test it.

　　This idea is correct, because the attack of true power on the human body is not like ordinary brute force. As long as the true power attack touches the human body, it will cause great damage to the human body. It is an attack that penetrates the body's surface defense and reaches deep into the body. True power is an internal attack, and the damage it brings is naturally internal damage. It is extremely powerful and extremely difficult to eliminate.

　　When Zhou Yun swung the sword just now, he also activated the true energy in his body and sent it out of his body to fight against the enemy. Although he relied on the arc of the true energy vibration to achieve it, the fight was still carried out outside the body. Otherwise, Zhou Yun would have been injured by now.

　　Looking at the staircase guarded by the war puppet, Zhou Yun still felt a little regretful. "The secret manuals of the Shadow Blade Sect are stronger than the previous one, but if I don't defeat this war puppet, I won't be able to learn the higher-level secret manuals. It seems that it is completely impossible to go to the fourth floor to take a look this time."

　　As thoughts raced through his mind, Zhou Yun was certain that it was impossible for him to see the fourth-level secret book this time.

　　But Zhou Yun also knew that he would definitely come back here in the future. With a little regret, Zhou Yun withdrew from the third floor and then left the power transmission tower.

　　Originally, Zhou Yun thought that he would have to study in this tower for a long time before coming out, but this time the situation was special. Zhou Yun mastered all the secrets of the shock knife in just three days. Because he had not yet reached the stage of training the organs and exchanging blood, Zhou Yun could not do more actual combat exercises, so naturally he spent very little time.

　　After leaving the power transmission tower, Zhou Yun began to run towards Pingliang City along the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　Traveling through the dense forest, Zhou Yun let go of his senses and captured traces of many ferocious beasts along the way!

　　"It turns out that it's not that there are no ferocious beasts here, but these little guys are too good at hiding." Feeling the surrounding atmosphere, Zhou Yun also showed a smile on his face.

　　When Zhou Yun was training in the Black Dragon Mountains before, he had only encountered ferocious beasts twice. The packs of sharp-clawed wolves he encountered twice and the jagged black panther that followed were the ones that took the initiative to cause trouble for him. At other times, Zhou Yun could hardly feel the presence of ferocious beasts.

　　Only now did Zhou Yun understand that although these ferocious beasts were savage, their innate crisis instinct was very strong. They would not appear when encountering enemies that they might not be able to deal with.

　　This ability to predict danger is probably the instinct of the beasts. Some ferocious beasts or wild beasts are born with abilities that humans don't have. This ability may not even have anything to do with cultivation, but is part of their nature.

　　When Zhou Yun was still in the Qin family, he got along with the tiger Lightning, and Zhou Yun knew that Lightning was born with the ability to conceal his qi and blood. After a long time of getting along, Zhou Yun gradually honed that ability.

　　Although there are many ferocious beasts around, Zhou Yun is now in the dense forest outside the Black Dragon Mountains, which is a very remote place, and he will not encounter any high-level ferocious beasts. Most of the ferocious beasts around are level one, and even level two ferocious beasts are rarely seen, so Zhou Yun will not take the initiative to cause trouble for these ferocious beasts.

　　Concentrating on getting on the road, a few hours later, Zhou Yun appeared on the outskirts of Pingliang City.

　　When Zhou Yun left the Power Transmission Tower, he had already changed his appearance. Now, even if he entered Pingliang City, no one would recognize him.

　　Dressed like an ordinary adventurous warrior, Zhou Yun blended into the crowd and entered Pingliang City.

　　Zhou Yun arrived at the post station first, sent a short message to Zhang Hao, and then sat down directly at a tea stall on the street, drinking some tea and eating some snacks, waiting for Zhang Hao's arrival.

　　"Waiter, bring me a pot of tea!" After waiting for only a quarter of an hour, Zhang Hao had already arrived at the tea stall where Zhou Yun was. He shouted loudly to the shopkeeper, and then Zhang Hao sat down opposite Zhou Yun casually.

　　After ordering tea, Zhang Hao turned his head calmly and blinked at Zhou Yun.

　　Seeing Zhang Hao's action, Zhou Yun couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Zhang Hao had no other skills, but he was very smart and clever. Even though he had changed his appearance, Zhang Hao could still clearly identify him.

　　While waiting for the tea to be served, Zhang Hao picked up the teacup and drank it while carefully looking around. After confirming that no one was paying special attention to him, he whispered, "Sir, I have already arranged for the three people you sent over earlier. Here is the address."

　　While speaking, Zhang Hao quietly threw a small note over.

　　Zhou Yun calmly took the small note and unfolded it. After reading it, he smiled and said, "You did a good job. I will go to this place first, and then you can pack up and come with me. I am going to Beijing soon, so you can come with me."

　　The circumstances were special when they met last time, and Zhou Yun knew a little less about Zhang Hao. However, through this incident, Zhou Yun has become more convinced that Zhang Hao is indeed a smart person.

　　It is a good choice to have such a person around to help take care of miscellaneous things.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Zhang Hao's face immediately showed an ecstatic look. Although Zhou Yun had said before that he would guarantee him a future, it had not been implemented after all. This time Zhou Yun proposed to take him to the capital, Zhang Hao was almost certain that Zhou Yun had begun to treat him as his own.

　　"Thank you, sir. I don't have much to prepare. I can leave with you anytime. I have also arranged everything about Wanshengmen. It can be said that I am withdrawing from the sect. The management of us peripheral disciples is actually very loose." Zhang Hao responded by nodding repeatedly.

　　"Okay, I'll go over first. You can come over after you've made your arrangements. We should set off tomorrow." Zhou Yun said with a slight nod.

　　Now Zhou Yun has nothing important to do near the Black Dragon Mountains. The earlier he goes to the capital, the better he can learn about it. Moreover, he can also meet Jun Yao earlier.

　　"Okay, then I'll go first." After responding, Zhang Hao picked up the tea bowl in front of him, drank it all, threw some money on the table, and got up and left without attracting any attention from others.

　　After Zhang Hao left, about a cup of tea later, Zhou Yun also stood up, paid the bill, and entered the post station again.

　　This time, Zhou Yun wanted to write a letter to Lin Junyao to tell her the time he would arrive in the capital.

　　If you take a horse carriage, it should take four days to get to the capital from here. If you walk faster on the road, three days will be enough. In the letter, Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao agreed to arrive in the capital in four days. After sending the letter, Zhou Yun left the post station.

　　Although the journey would only take three days, Zhou Yun could not set off immediately. Before that, he needed time to consider things like purchasing carriages and horses, the route to the capital, and how to hide the identities of the group when entering the capital.

　　When Zhou Yun began to make preparations in Pingliang City, the first-class express mail sent from the post station had been delivered to the capital without stopping.

　　As night fell, in the capital of the Tianyuan Dynasty, at the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion, the letter sent by Zhou Yun had been delivered to the mansion.

　　The last time Zhou Xue was poisoned by the Soul-Locking Fragrance, Lan Cang, who was by Lin Junyao's side, was sent out by her to personally deliver the message to Zhou Yun and protect Zhou Yun's safety.

　　Now that things have passed, Lan Cang did not find any trace of Zhou Yun along the Black Dragon Mountains. Now that things have been resolved, Lan Cang has naturally rushed back and is again responsible for guarding Lan Xinyuan.

　　This letter is from Lin Junyao, so it will naturally be delivered to Lan Cang first.

　　After receiving the letter, Lan Cang immediately took the letter and went to Lin Junyao's house.

　　"Miss, there is a first-class express letter from Pingliang City." Standing outside the door of the main house of Lanxinyuan, Lan Cang spoke calmly to the people inside.

　　Although the door of the main house was not closed, Lan Cang knew that he should not go in and only needed to stand at the door to notify.

　　There was no one in the front hall of the main house. At this moment, Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue were reading together in the study. Although there was a certain distance between them, Lan Cang had a high level of cultivation, so the voice was still transmitted clearly.

　　"Sister Xue, it must be a letter from Zhou Yun!" Lin Junyao was reading a book. When she heard Lan Cang's voice, she immediately put down the book in her hand and shouted in surprise.

　　"That's great, Jun Yao, go get the letter." Knowing that it might be a letter from Zhou Yun, Zhou Xue also became excited and spoke quickly.

　　After spending some time together, the relationship between Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue has become very good. They are both gentle, kind and talented women. They are also the two closest women to Zhou Yun in the world, so naturally there will be no problem in getting along with each other.

　　Although Zhou Xue still had to respectfully address Lin Junyao as "Miss" when there were outsiders around, when they were alone, Lin Junyao insisted that Zhou Xue call her by her name.

　　Zhou Xue was so happy at this time that she inadvertently gave Lin Junyao some instructions, but neither of the two girls cared or thought about it.

　　"Well, Sister Xue, wait a minute. I'll go get the letter and we can read it together." Nodding happily, Lin Junyao opened the door of the study and ran out.

　　Chapter 93: Heavenly City

　　In the letter, Zhou Yun had already told Lin Junyao the time of his arrival in the capital and the contact information at that time. After making detailed arrangements, Zhou Yun was finally ready to leave.

　　In an ordinary courtyard in Pingliang City, Zhou Yun and others have gathered together.

　　"Sir, this is the carriage. It's ready. The carriage is of high quality, with two rooms, front and back, which will not interfere with each other. I have also prepared dry food and fresh water, all loaded in the carriage." Walking to Zhou Yun's side, Zhang Hao spoke to Zhou Yun respectfully.

　　There is a carriage parked in the courtyard of the small courtyard. This carriage looks bigger than ordinary carriages, but it does not look luxurious or conspicuous. Instead, it looks a little shabby. This is also what Zhang Hao is thinking. He knows that Zhou Yun does not want his actions this time to be too conspicuous.

　　"Well, you did a good job. Take these gold notes and try to open up a situation in the lower class as soon as possible after you arrive in Beijing. It would be best if you can open a shop and do some small business. Try to make friends with all kinds of people, and don't care too much about money." Nodding with satisfaction, Zhou Yun waved his hand, took out a large stack of gold notes from the space ring and handed it to Zhang Hao.

　　These gold notes were searched out from Han Long's body by Zhou Yun last time. As Han Long was desperate to kill Zhou Yun in that operation, in order to facilitate the work, he took almost all of the Han family's belongings with him. He had gold notes worth 20,000 taels. In the Tianyuan Dynasty, one tael of pure gold could be exchanged for ten taels of silver. The gold notes worth 20,000 taels of gold could be exchanged for 200,000 taels of silver.

　　This time, Zhou Yun gave Zhang Hao 12,000 taels of gold notes at one time, just to allow Zhang Hao to quickly gain a foothold in the lower class society after entering Shangjing.

　　Although Shangjing is home to many powerful people, many things that cannot be made public still have to be done by all kinds of people. Therefore, the underground forces in Shangjing are far more powerful than those in other places.

　　When Zhou Yun first arrived in Beijing, he needed all kinds of information. It was most appropriate to leave these matters to someone like Zhang Hao who was used to the world.

　　"Sir, this... this is too much! Even if you go to buy a shop or get some information, you don't need so much!" When Zhang Hao saw Zhou Yun handing him the gold notes, he originally thought that there were not many. He had never seen such a thing as a gold note. But when he took it in his hand, he found that it was ten gold notes of one thousand taels. Zhang Hao was even a little scared because he had never seen so much money in his life.

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun said, "Shangjing is different from other places. It costs a lot to own a store, and it also costs money to build relationships."

　　"Sir, do you really trust me so much?" Still feeling a little embarrassed, Zhang Hao spoke nervously.

　　"Trust the people you employ, so just do your work with confidence. Although the way we met was not right, as long as you follow me wholeheartedly, I will not treat you unfairly in the future." Zhou Yun looked at Zhang Hao gently and spoke slowly.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, Zhang Hao's expression changed immediately, and there was a deep sense of gratitude in his eyes.

　　Before, when Zhang Hao was an outer disciple of Wansheng Sect in Pingliang City, he felt that he had nothing to strive for in his life. The most he could do was blackmail ordinary people, discuss the sect's right and wrong with other outer disciples, and live a life of idleness and waiting for death. But now Zhou Yun actually trusted him so much and gave him a brand new path. Zhang Hao's gratitude was naturally self-evident.

　　"Master, don't worry. I, Zhang Hao, will follow you for the rest of my life and will never betray you." After bowing heavily to Zhou Yun, Zhang Hao spoke seriously.

　　Without saying much, Zhou Yun just patted Zhang Hao's shoulder gently.

　　At this time, the three people from the Mu family had also walked out of the house. According to Zhou Yun's instructions, these people also put on relatively ordinary clothes, no longer dressed like adventurous warriors, and little Mu Yue was slightly uglier. After all, such a beautiful girl is still somewhat eye-catching.

　　"Okay, time is tight, so we'll set off tonight. I don't have much time, so if we can get to the capital one day earlier, we can also prepare for our stay one day earlier." Seeing that everyone had packed up, Zhou Yun spoke immediately.

　　"Okay, everything will be subject to your arrangements, sir." Nodding, Old Man Mu chuckled.

　　Without saying anything, Zhou Yun went straight into the small room at the back of the carriage. Although he was in a hurry, he couldn't stop his practice. The capital city was full of people and crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Although Zhou Yun's current cultivation was already very strong, there was still a faint sense of urgency pushing him forward.

　　They all followed Zhou Yun, and Old Man Mu and others were all very perceptive. Since Zhou Yun didn't want to talk much, they naturally wouldn't ask too many questions.

　　Old Man Mu took Little Mu onto the carriage from the front door, and the task of driving the carriage naturally fell on Mu Tie and Zhang Hao.

　　The two men sat on both sides of the front of the carriage. Mu Tie shouted, and the carriage was immediately pulled out of the courtyard and began to move towards the north.

　　Sitting in the rear space of the carriage, Zhou Yun took out the mysterious piece, calmed his mind, and slowly entered the mysterious space inside the piece.

　　After entering the space, Zhou Yun immediately saw his real and abnormal body in the ink-black space.

　　In this world, there is no need to practice deliberately. Just by breathing normally, Zhou Yun's cultivation is already growing steadily.

　　Instead of practicing meditation, Zhou Yun slowly raised his hands and assumed the posture of the Wanxiang Benlei Fist.

　　The more Zhou Yun practiced, the more he felt the power of the Myriad Things Running Thunder Fist. For Zhou Yun, who was in the tendon training stage, the Myriad Things Running Thunder Fist was the most precious tendon training secret.

　　Standing in the inky black space, Zhou Yun began to practice each move according to the instructions in the boxing manual.

　　In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. During these three days, Zhou Yun had not even left the inky space once, and had been constantly practicing the All-Seeing Thunder Fist.

　　After that mysterious vein was opened, Zhou Yun's comprehension ability has increased a lot. Recalling his experience on the second floor of the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower, Zhou Yun began to consciously think about whether he had made any mistakes in his movements and force generation methods when practicing the Myriad Things Thunder Fist.

　　In fact, these things are all interconnected. With Zhou Yun's current perception and learning ability, in three days, Zhou Yun has corrected many of his original mistakes in practice, and the power of the All-Seeing Thunder Fist has been further improved.

　　Bang bang bang.

　　In the ink-colored world, Zhou Yun felt that three days had passed, and his cultivation speed gradually slowed down. At this time, the carriage Zhou Yun and others were riding in also stopped. Zhang Hao walked to the back door of the carriage and knocked gently on the door.

　　Zhou Yun is no longer in the state where he would completely lose consciousness once his consciousness falls into the inky space. Feeling someone knocking on the door, Zhou Yun immediately stopped his practice and escaped from the inky world.

　　"Young Master, we have entered the capital city." As soon as Zhou Yun left the inky world, he immediately heard Zhang Hao's respectful voice outside the door.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun immediately felt refreshed. He pushed open the door and walked down. "Are we there yet?"

　　Hearing Zhou Yun's voice, Old Man Mu also got out of the car with little Mu Yue. After all, Zhou Yun was their master, and the master had already got out of the car, so it would be very inconsiderate if they didn't get out.

　　"Well, it should not be far. The capital city is just ahead. We can see it from here. I estimate that we can enter the city in a quarter of an hour." Pointing to the distance, Zhang Hao leaned forward and spoke.

　　Following the direction that Zhang Hao's finger pointed, Zhou Yun looked over there from afar. In the distance, a city that looked extremely magnificent came into Zhou Yun's sight.

　　This time, Zhou Yun and his companions actually took three and a half days to travel. It was early morning now, and the magnificent city in the distance still looked a little hazy.

　　Looking at the big city in the distance, Zhou Yun also showed a smile on his face. "It's a waste of time to see the mountain. We can't get there in a quarter of an hour. In my opinion, it would be good if we can get there in two hours."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Zhang Hao also showed a look of astonishment on his face, "Sir, the capital city is obviously very close. If it takes two hours to walk, it must be at least forty miles away. If it is really forty miles, where can we see it now?"

　　Zhang Hao's doubts were probably the common questions of all those who came to the capital for the first time. Although Zhou Yun was also in the capital for the first time, he had much more experience than Zhang Hao. Moreover, after Lin Junyao's identity was exposed, she also told Zhou Yun some interesting things about the capital in the next two letters. Zhou Yun naturally knew about these things.

　　Looking at the magnificent city in the distance, Zhou Yun said, "Little Mouse, this Shangjing City is also known as the City of Heaven. Do you know why?"

　　Touching his head, Zhang Hao guessed, "Heavenly City? Doesn't it mean the city of the emperor?"

　　Zhou Yun was quite satisfied with Zhang Hao's answer. After all, Zhang Hao was just a third-rate gang disciple from a small place, no different from a small thug. It was good that he could have such an idea.

　　"Little Mouse, this Heavenly City does have a meaning as you said, it means the city of the Son of Heaven. But the more important reason is that this Heavenly City really seems to be built in the sky. The outer wall of this city is 55 meters high." Zhou Yun had a little admiration for the grandeur of Shangjing. While watching from afar, Zhou Yun spoke slowly.

　　"Fifty-five meters!" Zhou Yun's words made Zhang Hao completely shocked. With his knowledge, he really couldn't imagine what a city would look like with a wall of fifty-five meters.

　　"Sir, the city wall is fifty-five meters high. Wouldn't the people inside be unable to see anything?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask with a puzzled look on his face.

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go. You'll see what it looks like then. Let's hurry up, not too fast. We should be there at noon." After leaving these words, Zhou Yun greeted Old Man Mu with his eyes and got on the carriage.

　　Zhang Hao, who stayed where he was, still looked confused, and kept muttering, "Fifty-five meters, how is this possible..."

　　Chapter 94: Survival is not easy

　　The subsequent journey proved Zhou Yun's words come true. Although the magnificent capital city in the distance had already come into sight, when Zhang Hao actually started walking, he found that this section of the road was not that short.

　　"It's amazing. It's worthy of being the capital of our Tianyuan Dynasty. It's really extraordinary!" Driving the carriage and looking at the Shangjing City getting closer and closer in the distance, Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh.

　　An hour and a half has passed since they set out again. As Zhou Yun expected, this journey will take at least two hours.

　　"Yes, such a high city wall, even for me it is difficult to climb up with the help of tools. If there is a war, I will face attacks while climbing. Such a city is really impregnable." Mu Tie, who was sitting at the front of the carriage with Zhang Hao, couldn't help but sigh.

　　As a warrior, Mu Tie actually looked down on Zhang Hao. At the beginning, Mu Tie didn't even talk much to Zhang Hao.

　　But after three days of travel, Mu Tie had seen with his own eyes how Zhang Hao managed everything smoothly and dealt with all the troubles, and he had a greater admiration for Zhang Hao in his heart.

　　Originally, when Zhou Yun handed the 10,000 taels of gold to Zhang Hao, Mu Tie still had some resentment in his heart. In his opinion, with his and Old Man Mu's cultivation, they should be more important than Zhang Hao anyway, but now it seems that there are some things that Zhang Hao can do very well, but he may not be able to do them.

　　"Why, with your high level of cultivation, you can't even get up?" Zhang Hao was a little surprised after hearing Mu Tie's words. They had been sitting together in the carriage for the past few days, and Zhang Hao already knew about Mu Tie's cultivation. Mu Tie's cultivation was at the initial stage of tendon training. In Zhang Hao's opinion, such a level of cultivation was already in the category of a super master.

　　If you are in Wanshengmen, your muscle training skills are enough to become a deacon, and if you improve a little more, you can become an elder.

　　Shaking silently, Mu Tie smiled and said, "My cultivation level is not that high at all. It can only be considered mediocre. In the martial arts, if you don't reach the innate level, you can't be considered to have truly entered the door. How can I climb a 55-meter high wall? But our young master should be able to do it."

　　Mu Tie's words once again surprised Zhang Hao. In his opinion, Zhou Yun's cultivation was very good, but how strong he was exactly was far beyond his ability to tell.

　　"Brother Mu, isn't our young master only sixteen years old? He is indeed an admirable person, but is his cultivation really higher than yours?" Zhang Hao asked, scratching his hair with some confusion.

　　"Hahaha, little rat, the young master wants to kill me. I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to fight back." Mu Tie laughed heartily at Zhang Hao's words.

　　Recalling the scene when Zhou Yun rescued the three of them, the two Wanshengmen deacons who had practiced muscle training could not even fight against Zhou Yun once and were almost killed in the first encounter. Mu Tie asked himself that he was not much stronger than the two Wanshengmen deacons.

　　Without saying anything, Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart at Zhou Yun's strength. Zhang Hao knew that this time he really followed the right person.

　　As they were talking, the carriage was getting closer and closer to the capital city. The magnificent city wall in the distance had actually appeared in front of Zhang Hao. Looking at the high wall that almost pierced the sky, Zhang Hao could not help but raise his neck, wanting to see the top of the towering city wall.

　　"Do you know the rules? How dare you compete for the road with the carriage of the noble lady of Marquis Sanjiang!" Just as Zhang Hao looked up, suddenly, a majestic voice came over. This voice was extremely powerful. As soon as the voice came out, Zhang Hao suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

　　After shaking his head hard, Zhang Hao finally reacted.

　　It turned out that when they were about to enter the city, Zhang Hao and others' carriages also merged from the branch official road into the avenue outside the main gate of Shangjing City.

　　Because they entered the road diagonally, the carriage of Zhang Hao and others actually blocked a luxurious carriage behind them. The people who scolded Zhang Hao were not the people following the blocked carriage, but another group of people who went out of the city to welcome the carriage.

　　That group of people all looked very noble, and the warriors standing behind them were all very powerful. It was obvious that these people were of extremely noble status in the capital.

　　"Oh, I'm so sorry. This is my first time in Beijing. I was so focused on the magnificent walls that I didn't pay attention to the road. It's my fault." Zhang Hao had already judged that both the carriage they blocked and the people who greeted them were of very noble status. Having just arrived in Beijing, Zhang Hao jumped off the carriage decisively and apologized repeatedly, thinking that it was better to have less trouble than more.

　　Bang!!

　　As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, before he could react, the warrior-like guard on the opposite side slapped him in the face.

　　Zhang Hao's cultivation level was not high to begin with, and the warrior opposite him had obviously reached the tendon training level or above. This slap directly knocked Zhang Hao unconscious.

　　"What are you doing!" Mu Tie never expected that the warrior opposite would attack directly. Seeing Zhang Hao being knocked unconscious like this, he immediately rushed out angrily.

　　With a gloomy face, Mu Tie punched the warrior directly.

　　"Looking for death!" Seeing Mu Tie's actions, the warrior opposite showed a scornful smile on his face. He bent his knees slightly, and a true force immediately began to circulate in the warrior's body. The next moment, the warrior's fist also blasted out with great force.

　　bump!

　　The two fists collided with a loud bang, and the middle finger of Mu Tie's right hand broke directly in the collision. The warrior's cultivation was obviously higher than Mu Tie's, and he had reached the peak of muscle training. The martial arts he practiced was also more powerful than Mu Tie's.

　　Suffering a severe blow, Mu Tie retreated five or six steps and had already retreated to the back of the carriage.

　　"Hehe, you ant-like man, you dare to attack me? I will kill you today!" Seeing that Mu Tie could not withstand his attack, the warrior immediately laughed and chased him again.

　　The warrior's movements were extremely fast. His iron fist had already turned into a palm and he went straight for Mu Tie's throat. His movements seemed like he was killing him directly!

　　Looking at the situation in the distance, the several noble young men behind all had faint smiles on their faces.

　　"Brother Tang, it's not a good idea for us to be so aggressive." There were five noble young men in the back, and the two standing in the front were obviously more noble than the other three. Looking at the situation in the distance, the handsome young man in blue smiled and spoke to another person.

　　"What's wrong with that? He deserves a lesson for being so reckless in blocking Hui'er's carriage." The young man called 'Brother Tang' said slowly with a nonchalant expression on his face.

　　The two of them talked very quickly. Although they knew that what they did was a bit excessive, they had no intention of stopping it. In their opinion, the lives of a few lowly people seemed not worth cherishing at all.

　　Mu Tie felt excruciating pain as his middle finger was broken. The opponent's attack was so fast that Mu Tie had no way to resist anymore.

　　At this moment, a blue arc of light suddenly rushed out from the back of the carriage and hit the warrior from the side.

　　Here!

　　An arc of light carried a strong electric property. As soon as the servant touched it, the warrior's palm was immediately burned black by the power of the electric shock. The whole person was instantly paralyzed by the power of the electric shock and lay on the ground shivering.

　　They never expected that there would be such a master in the carriage. The faces of several noblemen who were watching the show with a smile immediately changed.

　　"My friend in the car, you hit me too hard!" When Mr. Tang saw his warrior suddenly being seriously injured, his face changed immediately.

　　Just now his men wanted to kill someone, but he was happy to watch the show. Now that his men were seriously injured, that young master surnamed Tang immediately jumped out.

　　It was Zhou Yun who launched the attack just now. Although he did not get off the car, he could still sense everything outside clearly. Zhou Yun was naturally very angry about the other party's behavior, but he had just arrived in the capital and did not want to have too much conflict with the five or six dignitaries on the opposite side. Therefore, Zhou Yun just appropriately intimidated the other party and severely injured the arrogant warrior.

　　"Take Little Mouse with you and go into the city." Zhou Yun said this quietly in the carriage without getting off the carriage, and said nothing more.

　　At this time, Mu Tie had recovered a little from the severe pain of his severed finger. After hearing Zhou Yun's instructions, Mu Tie helped the unconscious Zhang Hao onto the carriage with some difficulty, then got on the carriage himself and urged the horses to head towards the city.

　　"You guys..." Seeing that the people in the carriage actually ignored his words, Mr. Tang immediately wanted to get angry.

　　"Brother Tang, this matter should not be made a big deal!" Before the young man surnamed Tang could finish his words, the young man in blue robe beside him grabbed him and said, "Brother Tang, the identity of the other party is unknown, and from his voice, he is obviously a teenager, but his cultivation has reached the level of internal organ training and blood exchange. Moreover, he just used the Thunder Tribulation Finger from the Myriad Thunder Fist. We cannot afford to offend him."

　　As soon as the blue-robed young man said this, Mr. Tang's anger was immediately suppressed.

　　Originally, seeing that the carriage the other party was riding in was very shabby, he thought that this was a civilian from outside the area. It would not be a problem to bully or even kill such a person.

　　But Zhou Yun suddenly attacked from inside the carriage and injured people from a distance, which forced him to think carefully.

　　He had heard Zhou Yun's voice before, and it was obviously the voice of a young boy. Moreover, being able to hurt someone from a distance was a skill that only warriors at the stage of practicing blood exchange could achieve. To be able to reach the stage of practicing blood exchange at such a young age was definitely not an ordinary person.

　　More importantly, the opponent was using a secret book called the All-Seeing Thunder Fist, which had a special meaning, which made him dare not move rashly.

　　Even though he was the eldest son of a duke, he would never dare to act rashly when facing people related to General Shenwei.

　　No longer daring to stop him, the five noble gentlemen let Zhou Yun's carriage drive into the city without even questioning the order in which the carriages moved.

　　Feeling that the opponent did not make any further moves, Zhou Yun in the carriage also silently dispersed the strength in his body. Although he had acted decisively just now, he could not help but feel a little worried. Because he did not know whether the Myriad Thunder Fist could shock the opponent, but now it seems that he made the right bet.

　　But even so, Zhou Yun still felt the difficulty of surviving in the capital.

　　"This road is not easy to walk on." Zhou Yun spoke silently after returning to the posture of meditation and regulating his breathing.

　　Chapter 95: Sky-high Price Room

　　The carriage that Zhou Yun and his companions were riding in had already entered the capital. Looking at the figures of Zhou Yun and his companions going away, Mr. Tang, who had just been humiliated by Zhou Yun, turned around and spoke quietly to a warrior behind him.

　　"Go, follow those people and find out their identities."

　　"Understood, Prince."

　　After making the arrangements, Mr. Tang's expression looked a little better. Then, he and several other noblemen beside him walked towards the two carriages.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun was already walking on the main street of the capital.

　　The carriage moved slowly on the streets of the capital, and Zhang Hao, who had just been knocked unconscious, gradually woke up.

　　In fact, the warrior's attack on Zhang Hao just now did not kill him, but was just arrogant out of habit. If he really attacked with a heavy hand, with Zhang Hao's cultivation level, he would have died by now.

　　"Little Mouse, are you awake? How do you feel?" Seeing Zhang Hao wake up, Mu Tie beside him immediately asked. He had been taking care of Zhang Hao since just now, and now that he saw Zhang Hao wake up, Mu Tie naturally cared about his condition first.

　　Zhang Hao just felt his head going dizzy, and he closed his eyes for a long time to adjust himself before he slowly came back to his senses.

　　"Brother Mu, where are we now? How long have I been unconscious? Where are those people?" After opening his eyes, Zhang Hao immediately felt that he was lying in a carriage, and the carriage was driving on a wide avenue.

　　As soon as he regained consciousness, Zhang Hao started asking questions. Now that he was Zhou Yun's subordinate, he naturally paid close attention to Zhou Yun's affairs. He didn't see how the incident just now ended, but it was obvious that such a conflict would not end well.

　　Seeing Zhang Hao caring so much about Zhou Yun, Mu Tie's heart also had a little more praise for him. He helped Zhang Hao sit up and said, "It's okay. Those people were scared away by you. I'll tell you in detail later. We are walking on the main street of the capital now. There is a small inn in front. Let's stay there first."

　　"Yeah, that's fine." Hearing Mu Tie's words, Zhang Hao nodded silently. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Zhang Hao grabbed Mu Tie, who was about to stop the car, and said, "Brother Mu, we can't stay in this small inn. Don't stop the car. Keep driving forward and find the largest and most luxurious inn to stay in."

　　"Why?" Mu Tie immediately asked in confusion upon hearing Zhang Hao's words.

　　"The people we just accused are obviously not simple people. It is impossible to say that they didn't send people to follow us. If we live in a small inn, it will be easy to be breached. Your identity is actually not that noble. If you show your weakness, you may get into big trouble. Now we must be high-profile and let people see our background clearly." The drowsiness in his mind has gradually faded away, and Zhang Hao's thoughts have become clearer.

　　After hearing what Zhang Hao said, Mu Tie immediately reacted and nodded to Zhang Hao in admiration. Mu Tie said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

　　After responding, Mu Tie started driving along the main street of the capital without saying anything more.

　　As the carriage got closer to the core area of ​​the capital, the shops, restaurants and inns on both sides became more and more upscale.

　　In the distance, a gorgeous six-story building appeared in Mu Tie's sight. Six-story buildings are extremely rare even in the capital. The construction cost of building such a building is almost astronomical. Moreover, such a building is located in a prime location like the center of the capital, so its value is even greater and it looks even more luxurious.

　　"Little Mouse, the Tianxiang Pavilion is in front of us. It is considered the best place in the capital. Even though I have never been to the capital, I have heard of the name of Tianxiang Pavilion. This Tianxiang Pavilion is the best restaurant in the Tianyuan Dynasty, and its dishes are famous throughout the country. It is said that it costs two thousand taels of silver to stay overnight. It is known as the best restaurant in the world!" On the side of the building in the distance, the three big characters of Tianxiang Pavilion were quietly displayed.

　　There are no special carvings, nor are there any business names and prices listed next to the sign like in other restaurants or inns, but it naturally exudes a sense of nobility.

　　"Two thousand taels!" Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he heard Mu Tie's words. Two thousand taels of silver. Even though Zhang Hao had done well in Wanshengmen before, his entire belongings were less than one thousand taels of silver. Two thousand taels of silver was just the price for one day's stay. How could Zhang Hao not feel bad for such an expensive place?

　　Even if you need to find a high-end place to stay, you wouldn't look for a place like this that costs two thousand taels a day, right?

　　"Little Mouse, let's live here. I heard what you said and it's a very good idea. When you go in, ask for a better room and don't care about the money." Just as Zhang Hao was hesitant, Zhou Yun's voice came faintly from the back of the carriage.

　　Zhou Yun also heard the conversation between Zhang Hao and Mu Tie just now, and he admired Zhang Hao's wit. Although he was sitting in the carriage, Zhou Yun could still feel that someone was following him.

　　Now, staying in Tianxiang Pavilion should be able to ward off future troubles to some extent.

　　A place like Tianxiang Pavilion can offer such a high price, so it must have its own unique features. At least, it is impossible for some people with bad intentions to sneak into the inn and attack it.

　　Zhou Yun had already spoken, so Zhang Hao didn't say anything more.

　　According to Zhou Yun's instructions, Mu Tie and Zhang Hao parked the carriage beside the gate of Tianxiang Pavilion. After opening the back door, Zhou Yun slowly got off the carriage.

　　Not many people come in and out of Tianxiang Pavilion. Such a place is obviously different from ordinary small shops in the market. There is only a counter and a few tea seats for guests to wait and rest in the lobby. There is nothing extra, but it exudes a sense of grandeur and luxury. Some small arrangements can make people feel the ingenuity of the owner of this restaurant.

　　"Sir, what do you need?" After the next week, Zhou Yun naturally walked in front. Seeing the carriage Zhou Yun and others were riding in and the clothes they were wearing, the waiter from Tianxiang Pavilion did not say anything, and there was no contempt in his eyes. He looked completely businesslike, but there was a hint of indifference in his expression.

　　Naturally knowing why the guy was so indifferent, Zhou Yun didn't say much. He stretched out his hand and waved it casually. With a flick, three purple gold coins flew towards the guy.

　　Bang!

　　Raising his hand, the guy caught the purple gold coin thrown by Zhou Yun. As soon as the gold coin entered his hand, the guy immediately felt a strong impact and he tried hard to stabilize his body.

　　This time, the clerk no longer dared to ignore Zhou Yun. Just now, Zhou Yun waved his hand and took out three purple gold coins, which obviously came with a space ring. Although rewarding three purple gold coins was not very generous, considering that Zhou Yun was young and already had a space ring, and his cultivation was also very strong, the clerk was still willing to give Zhou Yun more respect.

　　He himself was a martial artist at the peak of bone training, and Zhou Yun's attack just now had just the right amount of shock on him, allowing him to take it, but it was also very difficult for him to take it. It was obvious that he had seen through his cultivation level.

　　With such ability and at such an age, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

　　"Help me find a nice, large guest room. There are five of us." Seeing that the waiter's demeanor had changed, Zhou Yun immediately spoke calmly.

　　"Okay, the Lanyue Hall over here happens to be vacant. It's a large suite with four entrances and five rooms. You and your entourage can definitely stay there." His expression showed just a little more enthusiasm, and the waiter immediately made arrangements.

　　The guys at Tianxiang Pavilion had seen many big shots, and although Zhou Yunlu's move was good, it wouldn't make him suddenly go from being high and mighty to being servile. Zhou Yunlu's move only earned him the qualification to stay at Tianxiang Pavilion.

　　After all, Tianxiang Pavilion has the reputation of being the best building in the world, but not everyone can live in this best building in the world.

　　Another waiter nearby had already led Zhou Yun's carriage around to the backyard. Zhou Yun, along with the three people from the Mu family and Zhang Hao, followed the waiter into Tianxiang Pavilion.

　　They went up the stairs and went straight into the fourth floor. The waiter stopped when he brought Zhou Yun and others to a room in the middle of the corridor on the fourth floor.

　　"Dear guests, this is the Lanyue Hall, which is a third-class room here. The cost for one day is six thousand taels of silver, and all food and drinks are included. Tianxiang Pavilion will provide you with security. Here, no villains can get close to you, and no one will find out about you. You need to pay a deposit of twenty thousand taels of silver to stay here, and the extra money will be refunded in full when you check out." The waiter was introducing while opening the door for Zhou Yun and others.

　　After hearing what the clerk said, Old Man Mu, Mu Tie and Zhang Hao's faces changed immediately. Six thousand taels of silver a day, this is more than just a sky-high price . In a place like Pingliang City, six thousand taels of silver is enough to buy a manor! But in Tianxiang Pavilion, it is just a day's accommodation fee. How can they not be shocked?

　　Faced with such a sky-high price, Zhou Yun remained calm. With a wave of his hand, he took out two gold notes worth one thousand taels from his space ring and handed them to the waiter.

　　After taking the money Zhou Yun handed over, the waiter from Tianxiang Pavilion smiled reservedly and led Zhou Yun and others into the room.

　　As soon as they approached the room, their eyes were immediately struck by its luxury. The spacious living room of nearly 50 square meters was decorated with exquisite potted plants and calligraphy and paintings, there were chairs for meeting guests, exquisite calligraphy and paintings on the walls, and carpets with a good touch underfoot. The most important thing was the windows of the room. The bottom edge of the windows was extremely low, just above the knees. Through the open windows, the scenery of the entire Shangjing City came into everyone's sight, giving a feeling of sudden openness.

　　There is an open small door on both sides of the hall, leading to other rooms. There is a simple and gorgeous embroidered screen in front of the door, which is not abrupt but also serves as a protection, showing ingenuity.

　　"Sir, this is the hall. Behind the screens on both sides are the inner halls. Each inner hall is connected to the guest rooms. The guest rooms on the east side are one large and one small. The main room is on the east side. The guest rooms on the west side are three of the same size. You can arrange them yourself." The waiter led Zhou Yun and others to check the room and continued to introduce it. "This small bell is connected to our waiter's room. No matter when, as long as the guest has any needs, just ring the bell and we will send someone over immediately."

　　When the waiter was introducing, Zhou Yun's eyes quickly scanned the room, especially the two spacious half-floor windows, which Zhou Yun admired very much. At midnight, standing here overlooking the entire capital city, drinking tea and appreciating the moon is definitely a pleasant thing.

　　But Zhou Yun didn't have the energy to study these things now. When he first arrived in the capital, Zhou Yun still had a lot of things to arrange. First of all, he had to contact Lin Junyao and find out who the group of nobles he had just met at the gate of the capital were.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately said, "Okay, I am very satisfied with this room. We are tired from the journey, so we need to rest first. I will call you anytime if I need anything."

　　"Okay, sir, please make yourself at your convenience. You can call me anytime if you need anything." The waiter naturally understood what Zhou Yun meant. He nodded and immediately retreated respectfully.

　　Chapter 96: Lan Cang's Test

　　After the waiter left, only Zhou Yun's close confidants were left in the room. Seeing that there was no one else around, Zhang Hao immediately walked up and knelt in front of Zhou Yun.

　　"Sir, I am incompetent and have caused you so much trouble. Please punish me." Zhang Hao knelt there, lowered his head, and blamed himself. If he had not been so focused on the magnificent walls of the capital when he was about to enter the city today, he would not have rashly blocked the way of the luxurious carriage and would not have caused so much trouble.

　　Now, not only has he offended several powerful people in Beijing at once, but he has also made Zhou Yun spend so much money for his safety. As Zhou Yun's subordinate, one can imagine the self-blame in Zhang Hao's heart.

　　Zhang Hao's performance surprised Zhou Yun. At first glance, Zhou Yun thought Zhang Hao was just pretending. But after careful consideration, Zhou Yun found that Zhang Hao was indeed in great pain and was obviously very regretful.

　　Seeing Zhang Hao like this, Zhou Yun knew that he was sincerely thinking about him.

　　With a gentle smile, Zhou Yun said, "Little Mouse, this is not your fault. I came to the capital to deal with such a situation. If nothing goes wrong today, something will happen in the future. You did a good job. I won't blame you. Get up."

　　While speaking, Zhou Yun leaned over and helped Zhang Hao up.

　　"Sir, I..." The gentler Zhou Yun was, the more self-blame Zhang Hao felt. He wanted to say something else, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhou Yun.

　　"Don't worry about it. I had expected such a situation. Now the situation has changed. We have offended several nobles today. I'm afraid you and Mu Tie have been remembered. In this way, it will not be easy for us to quietly lay a foundation in the capital. Our strategy also needs to change." Zhou Yun did not blame Zhang Hao in his heart, but what happened today did disrupt Zhou Yun's plan.

　　Originally, after entering the capital, Zhou Yun wanted to quietly arrange the people around him one by one, and let them gradually build up some small forces in the capital. Although they might not be of much use, they would be enough to get some information. But now that there is this conflict, the safety of Zhang Hao and others will become a problem if they go out.

　　Zhou Yun used to think that Shangjing City was under the emperor's feet, and the public security would definitely be good, and some nobles would not be so domineering, but now it seems that it is not the case at all. A powerful servant actually dared to kill people directly outside the gate of the capital. Such a thing really made Zhou Yun feel that this capital was definitely not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.

　　"Master, what should we do now? How about I disfigure myself so that others may not recognize me, and our previous plan can still go on." Knowing that the original plan could no longer be implemented, seeing Zhou Yun frowning slightly, Zhang Hao finally asked softly.

　　Zhang Hao himself is not a fool. If he offends the powerful, his fate will not be good. This will not change whether in Nanshan Province or the capital. Now, let alone buying a shop, even leaving Tianxiang Pavilion may not be safe. Now Zhang Hao still wants to continue to play a role in Zhou Yun, so he can only resort to this last resort.

　　Finally showing a smile on his face, Zhou Yun said, "If I disfigure you, am I still worthy of being your master? Don't worry, I'm going to go out for a while, find out some things, and think of a way to solve these problems."

　　Zhang Hao's loyalty made Zhou Yun feel much better, but he would never let Zhang Hao disfigure himself.

　　Now, since keeping a low profile is not an option, the only option is to keep a high profile. Zhou Yun has made a decision, that is, to report to the Shenwei training camp openly. Once the report is completed, Zhou Yun can register his household in the capital, and then take the three members of the Mu family and Zhang Hao into his home. In this way, they will all be servants of the soldiers on duty, and these people will also be protected. Presumably, those noble sons will not risk being hated by the soldiers of the world to deal with a few small people.

　　However, this would put a lot of pressure on Zhou Yun, but in Zhou Yun's eyes, this pressure was just necessary training.

　　After arranging Zhang Hao and others to rest in the room, Zhou Yun tidied up his appearance and left Tianxiang Pavilion.

　　When Zhou Yun came out, he had changed his clothes and washed his face again. In this way, Zhou Yun's appearance returned to normal and was no longer the disguised look.

　　After coming out of Tianxiang Pavilion, Zhou Yun went straight to the east side of the capital. Having communicated with Lin Junyao many times before, Zhou Yun naturally knew that the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan was on the east side of the capital. After asking several people along the way, Zhou Yun successfully found the location of the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan.

　　The Duke of Pingnan's Mansion covers a very large area. The high walls give people a sense of majesty, making people yearn for the mystery inside. Walking along the road beside the high walls, Zhou Yun was carefully sensing all the way. In a moment, Zhou Yun had captured several extremely powerful auras hidden in the Duke's Mansion.

　　When he came here just now, Zhou Yun had already sensed the road and found that almost every store had a powerful warrior in charge, most of whom were warriors above the tendon training stage. Even in some large-scale stores, Zhou Yun could not even figure out the cultivation level of some warriors.

　　Before and after this training, Zhou Yun had experienced many battles. Originally, Zhou Yun thought that his cultivation was already quite good. With the help of that mysterious little piece, Zhou Yun's true power intensity and strength had already far exceeded the level of a martial artist who was just starting out in muscle training. In addition, with powerful secrets like the Shadow Knife Sect's secrets and the All-Things Thunder Fist, Zhou Yun was not afraid at all even if he was a martial artist at the peak of muscle training.

　　It was only when he faced a congenital martial artist who practiced organ-exchange blood that he would have a slight threat to his safety. But now it seemed that his cultivation level was really nothing in the capital, where martial artists who practiced organ-exchange blood were everywhere.

　　Feeling these, Zhou Yun has a new understanding of the strength of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　While thinking about these things, Zhou Yun had already walked to the main gate of the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion.

　　"Who are you?" Seeing that Zhou Yun was dressed in ordinary clothes and was obviously a civilian without identity, the warrior at the door immediately shouted.

　　This question brought Zhou Yun back to his senses. He raised his head and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I am Zhou Yun from Tianhe Province. I would like to see the Duke's son and daughter. Please inform them."

　　When they heard Zhou Yun's name, the faces of the two warriors guarding the door changed immediately.

　　Although they had never met Zhou Yun, the people in the Duke of Pingnan's mansion were already familiar with his name. Some time ago, the prince asked for leave from the court and went to Tianhe, and it was said that it was for Zhou Yun. He also took Zhou Yun's sister Zhou Xue into the mansion and lived with the Duke's daughter Lin Junyao in Lanxinyuan. It was obvious that he valued Zhou Yun very much and wanted to recruit him.

　　Although Zhou Yun was a servant, he was already a student of the Shenwei Training Camp. It was not surprising that such a person was recruited by the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion.

　　"Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment. The prince is still in the Ministry of Revenue and has not returned yet. I will go and report to the lady right away." The guard at the door showed a more respectful attitude. He bowed slightly to Zhou Yun, then turned around and entered the Duke's mansion.

　　Seeing the guard leave, Zhou Yun stopped talking and stood quietly at the door of the mansion waiting.

　　In the distance, a warrior who had been following Zhou Yun since he left Tianxiang Pavilion also quietly began to retreat. In fact, Zhou Yun had already discovered this warrior as soon as he left Tianxiang Pavilion, but he did not intend to make a fuss. Now Zhou Yun wanted to reveal his identity and make those people hesitate.

　　A moment later, the guard walked out of the mansion, clasped his fists towards Zhou Yun again, and said, "Mr. Zhou, the lady invites you."

　　"Thank you." Nodding in return, Zhou Yun followed the warrior into the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion.

　　Following behind the guard, Zhou Yun was very well-behaved while walking along the way, and did not look around randomly. This time when he came to the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan, Zhou Yun had only two purposes. One was to visit Jun Yao and his sister Zhou Xue, and the other was to discuss with Lin Juntian what he should do next.

　　The area of ​​the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion is extremely large, almost four times the size of the Qin family's Mansion in Heyang City. With such a long distance, Zhou Yun didn't know how the guard had delivered the message to Lin Junyao in such a short time and received a reply from Lin Junyao.

　　After following the guard around the mansion for a long time, Zhou Yun finally arrived at a small courtyard called Lanxinyuan.

　　Zhou Yun knew that this was Lin Junyao's residence.

　　At the entrance of the courtyard, an old man in a blue brocade robe was standing there smiling at Zhou Yun. Seeing this old man, Zhou Yun couldn't help but smile. In the past few years, every time Lin Junyao went to Heyang to visit him, Zhou Yun could see this old man from afar. Zhou Yun knew that this old man was Lin Junyao's guard, named Lan Cang.

　　"Mr. Lan, the person has been brought here." Seeing the old man in blue robe, the guard immediately bowed respectfully.

　　"Well, thank you for your hard work. You can go down first." Nodding to the guard, the old man in blue robe waved his hand casually.

　　"Yes." After saluting again, the guard took three steps back before turning around and leaving.

　　After the guards left, Zhou Yun and Lan Cang were the only ones left at the entrance of Lan Xinyuan.

　　"It's been a few months since we last met. Your cultivation has improved very quickly." Looking at Zhou Yun, Lan Cang still had a smile on his face, and his words were somewhat cordial.

　　But at this time, Zhou Yun felt a different aura. It seemed that Old Lan was preparing to test his cultivation.

　　Realizing this, Zhou Yun immediately made preparations.

　　call!

　　Sure enough, the next moment, Lan Cang suddenly made a move. He grabbed with his right hand and a clear gray palm print immediately shot towards Zhou Yunfei.

　　This is clearly an attack using real physical strength, and it is extremely powerful!

　　Because he had been prepared, Zhou Yun was not panicked at all. The All-Seeing Thunder Fist had already been brewing. Wisps of blue arcs of light kept dancing on Zhou Yun's body, and the true energy in his body was also rapidly turning. Zhou Yun had already launched the strongest move in the third level of the All-Seeing Thunder Fist, the Thunder Strike.

　　With both fists thrown out, an equally obvious blue force rushed out from Zhou Yun's body and headed straight for the gray palm print.

　　boom!

　　After the violent collision, a noticeable blush appeared on Lan Cang's face, while Zhou Yun took three steps back, trying hard to maintain his balance!

　　Chapter 97: Pain...

　　"Practicing internal organs and exchanging blood?" Seeing that Zhou Yun did not dodge his attack, but fought back with all his strength, and actually blocked his move, Lan Cang immediately spoke out in shock, but the next moment, he realized that something was wrong, "No, this is not practicing internal organs and exchanging blood, your body has not yet reached the state of perfect integration. But, if it is not practicing internal organs and exchanging blood, why can you have true power coming out of your body?"

　　Originally, Lan Cang wanted to test Zhou Yun. His attack speed was not very fast. He just wanted to see how fast Zhou Yun's reaction was and whether he could dodge it. He never expected that Zhou Yun would attack back directly.

　　Zhou Yun's counterattack was obviously an attack method that used his true strength to leave his body. The blue arc of light just now also clearly left Zhou Yun's body and flew forward more than two meters.

　　At this point, even Lan Cang, who was extremely experienced in martial arts, was a little unsure. He took two steps forward and asked Zhou Yun anxiously, "Zhou Yun, how did you do it? Your cultivation level is obviously not yet at the level of internal organ exchange, so why can you use your true energy to leave your body?"

　　Seeing Lan Cang was so anxious, Zhou Yun also smiled. It seemed that his move was indeed earth-shattering and contrary to common sense in martial arts.

　　Although this is a secret of his own, Lan Cang, as Lin Junyao's bodyguard, is not an outsider, and Zhou Yun does not want to hide it.

　　"Mr. Lan, this is nothing special. It's just that the true energy in my body is quite powerful. So when I use my energy, I can make an arc and let the true energy in my body go out of my body. It's not a real out-of-body attack." While speaking, Zhou Yun was silently gathering his strength.

　　Then, Zhou Yun changed his right fist into a knife-like shape and swung it suddenly to the side.

　　brush!

　　Suddenly, a green knife light flew out from Zhou Yun's palm, in the shape of a half moon. It flew more than three meters before instantly returning to Zhou Yun's body.

　　"This..." Seeing Zhou Yun's actions, Lan Cang was also a little confused. You know, it is not easy for a warrior to condense his true strength. It requires continuous boxing and meditation day after day to increase it. Practicing advanced secrets can increase it a little faster, but it is definitely very difficult to improve it.

　　But three months ago, Zhou Yun was just a low-level warrior in the Skin Training Realm who could be easily defeated by Lin Juntian. But in just three months, Zhou Yun had grown to this level.

　　In fact, when the true force is strong, it can rush out of the body. Lan Cang naturally knows this. It is extremely difficult for a warrior to break through to the stage of internal organ training and blood exchange. Not only does it require strong true force, but the most important thing is that the warrior must condense the body to a flawless state after the peak of tendon training.

　　This state cannot be achieved casually, and it must be completed with the help of some natural treasures. If not, then one can only purify the body through advanced secrets.

　　But when it comes to truly practicing and breaking through, most warriors don't actually have the conditions to do so. They lack the natural treasures and secret manuals that can purify the body. This results in many warriors' cultivation being stuck at the peak of tendon training.

　　Although it is impossible to break through at a certain level, as time goes by, one's true strength will always increase. This causes a phenomenon in which a warrior's true strength can overflow after becoming strong.

　　When some warriors are using their power, their true energy is too strong and can burst out of their bodies. The arc of this kind of true energy is usually not too long, at most a few dozen centimeters. But Zhou Yun's was really too exaggerated. With a random move, the arc of the true energy bursting out of his body could reach more than three meters, and it seemed that Zhou Yun had not used his full strength at all.

　　If he attacks with all his strength, I really don’t know how far Zhou Yun’s true power can reach!

　　This attack distance is no different from that of a martial artist who is in the early stages of practicing organ blood transfusion.

　　"Okay, Miss Jun Yao is still waiting for you inside, you go in first, and don't give up your cultivation, keep working hard." Although Lan Cang had already guessed that Zhou Yun must have had some kind of adventure to grow so fast, he didn't intend to dig into the matter.

　　Having protected Lin Junyao for such a long time, Lan Cang feels very sorry for Lin Junyao, the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Zhou Yun is the future husband chosen by Lin Junyao, and judging from the current situation, the two still have a lot of hardships to go through. Zhou Yun's cultivation is improving rapidly, and Lan Cang is also very pleased.

　　"Got it. Thank you, Mr. Lan." Nodding to Lan Cang, Zhou Yun turned and walked into Lan Xinyuan.

　　This Lanxin Garden was almost the same as what Zhou Yun had imagined. After a few years of getting along, Zhou Yun knew that although Lin Junyao was of noble status, she did not pursue an overly luxurious life. The layout of Lanxin Garden was not so gorgeous, but it was full of a sense of elegance. There were several plum trees planted in the front courtyard, and a simple stone table.

　　The small garden in the middle is not very large, but you can see that it is carefully maintained. It has a unique and ingenious feel everywhere and is very warm.

　　After passing through the front hall and the garden, Zhou Yun finally arrived at the back garden of Lanxinyuan. The door to the main house in the back garden was open, and standing at the door, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

　　After so many dangers in this training, he could finally see Lin Junyao again. And now, the situation between him and Lin Junyao was much better than before. At least, now Lin Juntian was no longer so resistant to him, and he also helped him settle his sister Zhou Xue.

　　Zhou Yun knew that his wish to be with Lin Junyao was being realized step by step.

　　Trying hard to suppress the burning emotions in his heart, Zhou Yun walked into the main room.

　　"Jun Yao, I'm here!" Standing in the main room, Zhou Yun finally couldn't help but shouted towards the inner hall.

　　At this moment, Lin Junyao in the inner bedroom was also nervous and expectant. Ever since Lan Cang informed her that Zhou Yun had arrived at the Duke's mansion, Lin Junyao had been in a state of nervousness and anxiety.

　　Although she missed Zhou Yun very much, when Zhou Yun really arrived, Lin Junyao was a little bit unconvinced, so she did not go out to greet him, but pulled Zhou Xue to hide in the room, waiting nervously.

　　Hearing Zhou Yun's shout, Lin Junyao's body trembled noticeably and a look of ecstasy appeared on her face.

　　"Sister, Zhou Yun is here!" With a shout of joy, Lin Junyao increased the strength of her hand that was holding Zhou Xue's arm, and wanted to run out of the room while pulling Zhou Xue.

　　Three months had passed, especially after experiencing such a big change, when Lin Junyao heard Zhou Yun's voice again, the longing in her heart suddenly became uncontrollable. All the tension and fear just now were thrown behind her at this moment.

　　Lin Junyao wanted to pull Zhou Xue out with her, but she found that she was not pulling Zhou Xue away, but was being dragged by Zhou Xue.

　　"Sister, what's wrong?" With a hint of anxiety, Lin Junyao turned around and looked at Zhou Xue who was still standing there in confusion.

　　Patting Lin Junyao's hand lovingly, Zhou Xue said gently, "Go by yourself. We haven't seen each other for so long. I think you two need some space to be alone together. I'll go over later."

　　"Sister..." Upon hearing Zhou Xue's words, Lin Junyao's little face immediately turned red, and a hint of shyness appeared in her eyes.

　　Lin Junyao naturally knew that Zhou Xue didn't want to disturb her and Zhou Yun and prevent them from getting along closely.

　　Seeing Lin Junyao being so shy, the smile on Zhou Xue's face became even gentler. Zhou Xue felt indescribable satisfaction and love for Lin Junyao.

　　"Go quickly, have a good chat first. When you have finished your whispers, bring him in to see me." Giving Lin Junyao an encouraging look, Zhou Xue spoke softly.

　　Already knowing that Zhou Xue would not go out with her, looking at Zhou Xue's encouraging eyes, Lin Junyao finally nodded vigorously.

　　Letting go of Zhou Xue's hand, Lin Junyao couldn't wait to open the door and ran outside.

　　After passing through the back hall, Lin Junyao immediately saw Zhou Yun standing in the front hall. The moment she saw Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao couldn't help but shed tears.

　　"Zhou Yun!" Lin Junyao stopped and shouted loudly.

　　Zhou Yun saw Lin Junyao the moment she ran out. Over the past few months, whenever there was a little space in his mind, Lin Junyao's face would appear in Zhou Yun's mind. He had accumulated too much longing for her, and when he saw Lin Junyao, Zhou Yun could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart.

　　"Jun Yao!" Zhou Yun shouted Lin Jun Yao's name excitedly, and rushed forward in a flash. In just a blink of an eye, the distance of more than ten meters between the two of them flashed by. The next moment, Lin Jun Yao was already held tightly in Zhou Yun's arms.

　　"Jun Yao, I'm here. I'm sorry for making you worry for such a long time." During their previous interactions, Zhou Yun had hugged Lin Jun Yao more than once, but the feeling this time was different from any previous times.

　　Zhou Yun had never hugged Lin Junyao so tightly before. He almost held the girl in his arms tightly with his life.

　　Feeling Zhou Yun's embrace, Lin Junyao also felt indescribable happiness. The worries and fears in her heart for the past three months seemed to disappear with Zhou Yun's embrace. After Lin Juntian discovered her relationship with Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao almost didn't dare to think about when she would meet Zhou Yun next time.

　　But after that, Zhou Yun actually shined in the Heyang City's martial arts examination, won first place, and entered the Shenwei training camp. His subsequent performance was praised by Lin Juntian. It can be said that the fact that they can meet today is all due to Zhou Yun's own efforts.

　　Lin Junyao knew that the reason Zhou Yun worked so hard was to protect their relationship.

　　Without much words, the two just stood there, hugging each other tightly.

　　After a cup of tea, Lin Junyao gently raised her head and looked at Zhou Yun with watery eyes. She pouted her lips in grievance, "Zhou Yun, it hurts."

　　"What?" Looking at Lin Junyao's pretty face so close to him, Zhou Yun's brain suddenly short-circuited and he didn't even know what Lin Junyao was talking about.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's silly look, Lin Junyao couldn't help laughing. The pain in her body seemed to be relieved a little, but she still insisted on speaking, "Zhou Yun, you hugged me too tightly, it hurts..."

　　Chapter 98 Warmth

　　The expression on the girl's face in his arms was a little aggrieved, her rosy little mouth was pouted, but there was a gentle smile in her eyes. Although the two had confirmed their relationship, Lin Junyao had never shown such a delicate look in front of Zhou Yun before. Zhou Yun was almost dumbfounded by Lin Junyao like this.

　　Recalling how Lin Junyao addressed him in her previous letter, Zhou Yunxin slowly understood that after the conflict outside Heyang City, Lin Junyao had decided to stick to her feelings, and the relationship between the two was completely made clear. Now that Lin Junyao regarded him as her closest person, she would naturally act like a little girl in love in front of him.

　　Seeing Lin Junyao like this, Zhou Yun felt a surge of happiness in his heart, and he almost felt nothing in his whole body.

　　In fact, it is normal for Zhou Yun to behave like this. After all, love is the most beautiful feeling in the world. And there is a kind of girl who, once she falls in love, will unconsciously make her lover feel extremely happy. Obviously, Jun Yao is such a girl.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun still looking silly, Lin Junyao gently pinched the flesh on Zhou Yun's waist with her small hand and said angrily, "Zhou Yun, why don't you loosen up a bit?"

　　Zhou Yun only reacted after being pinched by Lin Junyao. Only then did he realize that he was holding Lin Junyao with all his strength in his arms. With his cultivation and strength, how could a delicate and weak girl like Lin Junyao withstand it?

　　He quickly loosened the strength in his hands, but Zhou Yun still did not completely let go of Lin Junyao, and the two of them continued to snuggle together.

　　After hugging quietly for a while, Lin Junyao raised her head again, and gently pushed Zhou Yun's chest with her small hands, creating a little distance between them.

　　The warm time together was over, and Lin Junyao finally remembered other things, "Zhou Yun, why did you come here like this? Didn't you agree to go to Beijing secretly? And the time is so early, did you encounter any trouble?"

　　Before going to Beijing, Zhou Yun actually wrote a letter to Lin Junyao, in which they agreed on the time when Zhou Yun would go to Beijing, as well as the contact information at that time, etc. However, Zhou Yun arrived eight days earlier than the agreed time in the letter, so Lin Junyao was naturally a little worried.

　　With a gentle smile, Zhou Yun replied, "It's okay. I had some adventures when I was in the Black Dragon Mountains. There is a pagoda that records secret manuals, and there are some skills on each floor. I went back to learn more skills there. I originally thought that I couldn't finish learning in ten days, but I didn't expect to finish it in three days. Once I have dealt with things over there, I will come to see you earlier."

　　After listening to Zhou Yun's explanation, Lin Junyao's worries gradually dissipated. Lin Junyao has always been kind-hearted and willing to believe others, let alone Zhou Yun's words.

　　"Zhou Yun, there are still nine days before the Shenwei training camp opens. Do you want to stay here first? That way, we can see each other more often." Looking at Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao said with anticipation.

　　"That depends on your brother's opinion. If he thinks it's appropriate, then it doesn't matter." In fact, Zhou Yun knew that as soon as he stepped into the Duke's Mansion, his identity and attitude had already been made clear, so it didn't matter much whether he lived here or not.

　　He is probably already branded with the mark of the Lin family now. Once the Shenwei training camp opens, he will naturally be classified as a member of the lineage of the Duke of Pingnan.

　　Although Zhou Yun didn't know how powerful the Duke of Pingnan was, whether he had any enemies, or what his future prospects would be, he already belonged to this faction and could not change.

　　Obviously, Lin Junyao didn't know all this. After hearing Zhou Yun's reply, Lin Junyao immediately became happy, "That's no problem. If my brother dares to disagree, I will beat him up!"

　　Lin Junyao raised her fist and spoke happily. After returning from Heyang, Lin Junyao had been somewhat silent, but Zhou Yun's arrival completely changed everything and made Lin Junyao full of energy again.

　　Without answering, Zhou Yun raised his hand and scratched Lin Junyao's little nose lovingly.

　　Suddenly, as if she thought of something, Lin Junyao took Zhou Yun's hand and walked into the house, "Zhou Yun, come here quickly, sister is still waiting for you inside."

　　"Sister is here too!" Zhou Yun was immediately happy when he heard that his sister Zhou Xue was also here. Although he knew that Zhou Xue had recently lived in the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion, he did not expect that Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue were already so close.

　　He quickly followed Lin Junyao's footsteps into the inner hall and opened the bedroom door. Suddenly, Zhou Xue in white appeared in front of Zhou Yun.

　　"Sister." When seeing Zhou Xue, Zhou Yun's behavior was naturally much more respectful than when he saw Lin Junyao. He did not rush forward. Zhou Yun just took a few quick steps and bowed deeply to his sister.

　　"Xiao Yun, thank you for your hard work." Seeing Zhou Yun, Zhou Xue's eyes welled up with tears. She was a smart girl and naturally knew what kind of hardships Zhou Yun would face outside.

　　Raising her head and looking at Zhou Xue, Zhou Yun clearly caught the worry in her sister's eyes. Naturally, she knew what Zhou Xue was worried about. Zhou Yun immediately comforted her, "Sister, nothing is wrong in Heyang. Li Yi is fine. He asked me to tell you, don't worry."

　　"Well, then I feel relieved." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Zhou Xue's expression really relaxed. She gently held Zhou Yun's hand and said, "Xiao Yun, you will go to the Shenwei training camp in a while. I heard that once you enter the training camp, you can't come out for half a year. You don't have to worry about my affairs. I live with Jun Yao in Lanxinyuan, and she takes good care of me."

　　During the time she lived in the Lin family, Zhou Xue also inquired about some things about the Shenwei training camp. Of course, the only person she inquired about was Lin Junyao. Lin Junyao didn't know much about the Shenwei training camp. She only knew that once you entered the Shenwei training camp, you couldn't leave until graduation.

　　Since this is the case, Zhou Xue must reassure Zhou Yun and tell him that she is doing well here with Lin Junyao.

　　Zhou Yun was also surprised to know that Zhou Xue actually lived in Lin Junyao's Lanxinyuan. But he soon realized that this might be a manifestation of loving the house and loving the dog. At that time, Lin Juntian could take Fang Xueyin to Heyang to treat Zhou Xue, which must be because of Lin Junyao's pleading.

　　Now that Zhou Xue has moved into the Lin family, Lin Junyao will naturally let her stay with her.

　　"Thank you, Junyao." Thinking of this, Zhou Yun couldn't help but thank Lin Junyao.

　　Giving Zhou Yun a reproachful look, Lin Junyao gently pinched Zhou Yun's forearm and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

　　Zhou Yun smiled and stopped talking. Although they didn't spend much time together, the relationship between him and Lin Junyao didn't require too much politeness.

　　"Sister, please sit over there. I will help you check the Soul-Locking Fragrance toxin in your body. I can't completely detoxify it now, I can only control it. However, the toxin will not spontaneously brew more, and there won't be too much danger." At this time, Zhou Yun also remembered that the Soul-Locking Fragrance poison in Zhou Xue's body had not been completely eliminated. Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately spoke.

　　"Yeah." Knowing that Zhou Yun was worried about her, Zhou Xue didn't say much. She nodded and sat on a chair beside her as Zhou Yun wished.

　　Following over, Zhou Yun sat down on the chair next to him and raised his hand to hold Zhou Xue's wrist.

　　Although the mysterious vein has been opened up, Zhou Yun does not know what power is running through this vein. The entire vein is empty and there is nothing at all, so it is impossible to explore with the help of this vein.

　　But Zhou Yun had already memorized the route and location of this meridian. He mobilized the true energy in his body and explored according to the location of the meridian.

　　Sure enough, the toxin from the soul-locking incense still existed in Zhou Xue's body, but the concentration had not changed and was still just a thin layer.

　　There is no way to completely eradicate these toxins now. After investigating and finding that there is no risk of the toxins spreading, Zhou Yun immediately withdrew his true power.

　　"How is it?" Seeing Zhou Yun withdraw his hand, Lin Junyao immediately asked. Her concern for Zhou Xue was also from the bottom of her heart, just like Zhou Yun.

　　With a smile on his face, Zhou Yun said, "It's the same as before, there is no sign of deterioration. In the current situation, there is no way for Sister to improve her cultivation. But it doesn't matter if Sister doesn't practice martial arts. I will try my best to practice as quickly as possible and help Sister to remove all these toxins as soon as possible. In addition, if there are any changes in these toxins, you must let Big Brother find a way to notify me. Although I am in the Shenwei training camp, with Big Brother's means, it should be no problem to send the news in."

　　Although Zhou Yun thought that it was unlikely that the Soul Locking Incense would become more poisonous through expansion, he still needed to be careful. Although Zhou Yun was confident that he could help Zhou Xue completely remove the speed, up to now, Zhou Yun had no idea what kind of power was running in that mysterious vein, and he had no idea when he would know, so he still had to be on guard.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao immediately nodded obediently, "I know, sister will be fine, and my brother said that even if the illness is serious, sister Xueyin has the ability to cure sister."

　　The sister Xueyin that Lin Junyao mentioned was naturally Lin Juntian’s fiancée Fang Xueyin. Zhou Yun also knew the method of treatment, which required the use of an extremely precious treasure. If such a treasure was used for treatment, the cost would be too high.

　　In that case, Zhou Yun would owe Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin a huge favor. Zhou Yun has thought about this matter very clearly. Since he has the ability to cure Zhou Xue, it is better not to owe them this favor.

　　Without saying anything, Zhou Yun just nodded silently as a response.

　　Just as Lin Junyao was about to continue speaking, there was a knock on the door from outside.

　　Then, Lan Cang's voice came over, "Zhou Yun, the prince is back, please come over and have a chat."

　　Chapter 99 Upper Level

　　"Brother, you're back so early?" After hearing Lan Cang's words, Lin Junyao, who was originally preparing to continue talking to Zhou Yun, was stunned for a moment and spoke instead.

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun said, "Maybe he knew I was coming and wanted to come back earlier to tell me something. Jun Yao, your brother is actually very good to me."

　　Zhou Yun had his reasons for saying this. Although Lin Juntian had severely injured him when they first met, anyone would probably make the same choice as Lin Juntian under such circumstances. Lin Juntian's attack that time was already considered very light.

　　Moreover, he later gave Zhou Yun elixirs to recover from his injuries, helping Zhou Yun to further improve his cultivation.

　　After that, although Lin Juntian was still a little cold to him on the surface, he actually helped him a lot. Zhou Yun naturally saw all these things and was somewhat grateful to Lin Juntian.

　　Zhou Yun pointed out these words inadvertently because he was worried that Lin Junyao would have a conflict with Lin Juntian because of him.

　　"Zhou Yun, I know all this, don't worry." Although Lin Junyao was not a particularly smart or scheming girl, she knew Zhou Yun very well. As soon as Zhou Yun opened his mouth, Lin Junyao knew what he was worried about.

　　This feeling of mutual understanding made Zhou Yun feel very comfortable. He touched Lin Junyao's hair and said, "Sister, Junyao, the prince is calling me. I'll go over first."

　　After all, Lin Juntian is of noble status, so it would not be good to keep him waiting for a long time.

　　"Zhou Yun, how about I go with you?" Lin Junyao was still worried about letting Zhou Yun stay in the mansion for a few days. She was afraid that Lin Juntian would not agree, so she also wanted to go with him.

　　Naturally knowing what Lin Junyao was thinking, Zhou Yun shook his head and said gently, "Just wait for me here. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you stay in the mansion or go out. I believe the prince won't make it difficult. I'll go over first and come back later."

　　"Yeah." Seeing Zhou Yun said this, Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue nodded together.

　　After coming out of Lanxinyuan, Zhou Yun, under the guidance of Lan Cang, quickly arrived at the courtyard where Lin Juntian lived.

　　The courtyard where Lin Juntian lived was not far from Lin Junyao's Lanxinyuan. Soon, Zhou Yun stopped in front of a quaint courtyard.

　　"Zhou Yun, go in, the prince is waiting for you inside." Lan Cang said, stopping outside the courtyard.

　　"Thank you, Mr. Lan." After nodding to Lan Cang, Zhou Yun turned and walked into the courtyard.

　　Like Lin Junyao, there were no servants in Lin Juntian's yard. For some reason, the brother and sister of the Lin family didn't seem to like having servants serving them.

　　The structure of the courtyard where Lin Juntian lived was similar to that of Lin Junyao's courtyard. After passing through the courtyard and the garden, Zhou Yun successfully came to the back garden. The door of the main house was open, and from a distance, Zhou Yun saw Lin Juntian sitting there.

　　"Prince." Zhou Yun walked to the door and bowed respectfully to Lin Juntian. In fact, Zhou Yun was still somewhat grateful to Lin Juntian. Until now, if it weren't for Lin Juntian, Zhou Yun would not be able to solve many problems.

　　"Come and sit down." Lin Juntian nodded and said to Zhou Yun. While talking, Lin Juntian also poured Zhou Yun a cup of tea that had just been brewed in the purple clay teapot. Suddenly, a fragrance spread in the room, making people feel relaxed and happy.

　　Putting down the teapot, Lin Juntian picked up his own teacup, took a sip, and breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned to Zhou Yun and said, "I already know about the trouble you got into when you entered the city. The people you offended are all subordinates of the crown prince, a small circle among the nobles in the capital. It doesn't matter that the daughter of the Marquis of Sanjiang was offended. She was just a fallen marquis. It's just that the daughter of the Marquis of Sanjiang is good-looking, so this caused some trouble."

　　In fact, after this incident, Zhou Yun knew that Lin Juntian would definitely help him deal with this trouble. After all, if you look at it in detail, this is not a big deal. The key is whether there is a superior who will come forward.

　　"Prince, will things be troublesome?" Although Zhou Yun knew that this matter would not be too difficult to handle, he still asked this question. This was also to praise Lin Juntian and give him more face.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's question, Lin Juntian turned his head and looked at Zhou Yun with a bit of amusement before speaking, "No need to force me to drink soup, this matter is not difficult to handle. The person you injured is a subordinate of the Prince of Beiwei. The Prince of Beiwei is called Tang Li. He is lustful, likes to save face, and is also greedy for small profits. Before I came back, I went to him and promised him a small profit. You and your subordinates will not have any trouble."

　　Lin Juntian's words were calm and indifferent, but only he knew that the so-called small profit was actually 30,000 shi of military rations. These military rations were originally intended to be allocated to the South China Sea Navy, but now they can only be allocated to the Northern Frontier.

　　Lin Juntian paid such a huge price just to help Zhou Yun solve a little trouble. He really did a good job for Zhou Yun.

　　"Thank you, Prince." Although he didn't know much about the affairs of the upper echelons, Zhou Yun was not stupid. The so-called 'little profit' discussed among the dukes and princes was probably something he couldn't afford at the moment.

　　Nodding casually to accept Zhou Yun's thanks, Lin Juntian turned and said, "Zhou Yun, the Shenwei training camp will not open for another nine days. What are your plans during this period of time?"

　　"If possible, I would like to live here for a period of time. I have been running around a lot recently, and my mind is uneasy. The time to concentrate on cultivation is very short. I want to practice well in these few days and lay a good foundation. I feel that I seem to have signs of a breakthrough soon." After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun spoke slowly.

　　During the conversation, Zhou Yun did not specifically mention that he wanted to stay in the mansion to accompany Lin Junyao, but with Lin Juntian's intelligence, how could he not think of it?

　　With a curious look on his face, Lin Juntian asked Zhou Yun, "Zhou Yun, what is your current level of cultivation? And what is your actual combat ability?"

　　Lin Juntian asked, so Zhou Yun had no need to hide it. "My cultivation level should be at the initial stage of tendon training. As for actual combat ability, with my current strength, I can fight a warrior at the initial stage of organ training and blood exchange."

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, Lin Juntian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Although he knew that Zhou Yun was growing very fast, when he was communicating with the prince of Beiwei today, he heard that Zhou Yun's true power came out of his body to hurt people, and Lin Juntian was a little skeptical. Now it seems that this should be true.

　　Although they didn't spend much time together, Lin Juntian knew that Zhou Yun was a very cautious person. He said with his own mouth that he was no longer afraid of warriors who were in the early stages of organ transfusion, so that should be true.

　　Lin Juntian tapped the armrest of the wooden chair and spoke slowly, "With such a level of cultivation, you should have some basic skills to survive in the Shenwei training camp, but you still can't let your guard down. There are death indicators in the training camp, but those who die are generally powerless people. Once you enter, be careful. Since you want to make achievements, this is something you must face."

　　After going through so many things, Zhou Yun is no longer the naive young man he used to be. Lin Juntian pointed out that there were death indicators in the Shenwei training camp and also pointed out who the dead were. This in itself gave Zhou Yun a big hint.

　　Moreover, Zhou Yun knew from the beginning that if he wanted to break into the aristocratic circle and establish his career, he would inevitably challenge the interests of the existing aristocrats. Such conflicts were inevitable at any time. And Zhou Yun could not always live under the protection of Lin Juntian. This trip to the Shenwei training camp was the real beginning of his career.

　　"Don't worry, Prince. I won't let Jun Yao down." Knowing what Lin Juntian really cared about, Zhou Yun was silent for a moment and nodded solemnly.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's answer so accurately, Lin Juntian finally showed a smile on his face.

　　Standing up, Lin Juntian said to Zhou Yun, "We have finished talking about everything. You can go back first. There is a secret basement in Junyao's Lanxinyuan small garden. You can practice there. Elder Lan will take you there. These days, when you are not practicing, you can also spend more time with Junyao."

　　"Got it. Thank you, Prince." Zhou Yun bowed to Lin Juntian once again and spoke sincerely.

　　After thanking him, Zhou Yun turned around and walked out of the main house, heading out of the courtyard. While walking, Zhou Yun was still thinking in his heart.

　　From being forced to separate from Lin Junyao at the beginning, to now, Zhou Yun has obtained Lin Juntian's permission to accompany Lin Junyao for some time, which is a huge change. Although Zhou Yun also knows that his improvement in this period of time has been very fast, after entering the capital, Zhou Yun has obviously seen a wider world, and the sense of urgency in his heart has become stronger.

　　"What are the plans, my prince?" Lan Cang, who was waiting there, asked gently when he saw Zhou Yun coming out of the courtyard. Lan Cang was also born a commoner, and later followed Lin Hailong for more than 30 years, constantly practicing and fighting, which led to his current status. Seeing Zhou Yun, who had the same background as him, he naturally liked him a little.

　　"Mr. Lan, the prince arranged for me to live in the mansion these days. There is a secret basement in Jun Yao's courtyard. I have been practicing there these days." Hearing Lan Cang's question, Zhou Yun immediately responded.

　　After Zhou Yun finished speaking, a smile appeared on Lan Cang's face. Although Zhou Yun was of humble origin, Lan Cang was the most profound witness of his relationship with Lin Junyao. He also hoped that Zhou Yun could be with Lin Junyao.

　　"Okay, then I'll take you there now. In Lanxinyuan, you can tell me anytime if you need anything." Nodding, Lan Cang spoke.

　　After responding, Zhou Yun said nothing more and followed Lan Cang to Lan Xinyuan.

　　Next, he could practice peacefully in the Duke's Mansion. Besides, the trouble had been solved, and Zhang Hao and others could continue to develop their power in the capital according to the previous plan. Later, he would send a letter to Tianxiang Pavilion to inform them.

　　While walking, Zhou Yun was still planning in his mind.

　　Chapter 100 Potential Crisis

　　Lin Juntian had helped Zhou Yun solve the problem, so the next thing was very simple. After returning to Lanxinyuan, Zhou Yun wrote a letter to Zhang Hao, telling them that the trouble had been solved and they could buy shops in the capital and develop their power as planned.

　　After sending the letter, Zhou Yun chatted with Zhou Xue and Lin Junyao for a while, then went into the basement of the small garden of Lanxinyuan and began to practice.

　　As night fell, Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue had already gone to rest, and Zhou Yun had already devoted himself to his own cultivation. At this time, in another mansion not far from the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion, several noble sons were gathering in a garden pavilion, drinking and admiring the moon.

　　Upon closer inspection, he suddenly discovered that these noble gentlemen were the ones Zhou Yun had offended when he entered the city.

　　The prince of the Duke of Beiwei, the prince of the Marquis of Feiyun, the prince of the Marquis of Lingwu, the prince of the Marquis of Donghai, and the prince of the Earl of Lanling, all of these five people are princes of aristocratic families that still hold power in the current dynasty.

　　All of these noble families have already joined the group supporting the current crown prince, either openly or secretly.

　　Among the five people, Tang Li, the prince of Beiwei, has the highest status. During the conversation, he is also secretly regarded as the core by everyone.

　　"Brother Tang, I heard that Lin Juntian came to the mansion in the afternoon? What did he want to see you about? Could it be that it was really about the incident at the city gate?" After taking a sip of wine very elegantly, Zhang Yu, the son of Feiyun Marquis who had the closest relationship with Tang Li, asked.

　　These noble sons are all well-connected and well-informed people. There is nothing they don't know about the affairs in the capital, as long as they are public.

　　Most of the time when these nobles gathered together, they didn't discuss anything important, but just chatted with each other to maintain their relationship. They usually went in and out together, and the purpose was to show others that they were all from the same faction. With so many noble forces intertwined together, other forces would have to think carefully before they could touch any of them.

　　This is also an unwritten rule among the upper class nobles in the capital. The strong have joined forces to seek a stronger power. This has always been the case since ancient times. However, in the capital, some nobles do not follow this rule, such as the Duke of Pingnan, the Marquis of Qingshan, and even some royal families.

　　After hearing Zhang Yu's question, Tang Li, who was already a little drunk, said in a relaxed tone, "Yes, I originally thought that there was a prince traveling incognito in the carriage, but after all the fuss, it turned out to be a martial arts candidate from Heyang City. He entered the Shenwei training camp this year. He has a very good talent. At the age of sixteen, he has such a strong cultivation. The Lin family wants to take this person under their command. Lin Juntian came to me this afternoon to ask me to let that kid go."

　　"Letting him go won't be without cost, right? You know, that kid lost us some face in the afternoon." As soon as Tang Li finished speaking, Zhang Yu immediately laughed out loud, and the other noble young men also followed suit.

　　Each of the princes in the capital has a number of staff and subordinates, and conflicts between them are common. When something happens and needs to be settled, they usually exchange some interests from the upper level for something.

　　As the son of the Duke of Pingnan, although Lin Juntian did not join the army, he had considerable power. He was already an inspector of the Ministry of Revenue, responsible for the allocation of money and grain, which was an extremely critical position. Although the Tianyuan Dynasty's army was strong, the total number of troops was too large, and the supply of money and grain was not sufficient. Under such circumstances, the power of the Ministry of Revenue became more and more powerful.

　　Every general wanted to make friends with some high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Revenue so as to gain more resources for his army in the distribution of money and grain by the dynasty.

　　Normally, Lin Juntian seldom communicates with them, and it is not easy to get in touch with Lin Juntian. Now, Lin Juntian has something to ask of them, so they have to take advantage of them, right?

　　Amid the whispers of the nobles, Tang Li also showed a smug look on his face, "It's not a big price. The 30,000 dan of military rations that Liaohe Province collected last month can be transferred to the northwest front next month."

　　Upon hearing Tang Li's words, Lingwu Marquis's son Chu Tianhong immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, "30,000 dan of military rations is not a small amount. It can really solve the urgent needs of the northwest. I would like to thank Brother Tang on behalf of my father."

　　Chu Tianhong's father, Chu Tianfang, was the general in charge of the northwest front of the Tianyuan Dynasty. The northwest army was extremely far away from Kyoto, and the local area was all Gobi Desert, where no rice was produced. Military rations had always been in short supply. Thirty thousand shi of military rations were enough for an army of 100,000 for half a month, which was not too much, but it was not too little either.

　　With a slight smile, Tang Li drank a glass of wine, and a smug look appeared on his face. Just as Lin Juntian said, Tang Li was a person who cared about face, was lustful, and was greedy for some small gains.

　　In fact, the conflict outside the city gate was not a big deal. Now that the matter has been resolved, people no longer continue to talk about it, but instead turn the topic to another matter.

　　"Tian Jin, your brother will also participate in the Shenwei training camp this time, right? It is said that there are many good things in the Shenwei training camp this time. It is said that General Shenwei will put his full set of Wanxiang Benlei Fist in it. This is a huge benefit. Although not everyone can get it, if you can rank first, there is still some chance. How is your brother's cultivation now? Is it possible for him to get first place?" Suddenly, as if remembering something, Tang Li turned around and spoke to Tian Jin, the son of Donghai Hou who was standing beside him.

　　As soon as Tang Li finished speaking, Tian Jin immediately smiled and said self-deprecatingly, "My useless brother is only at the peak of muscle training. How can he get first place? There are many big shots in the Shenwei training camp this time. Princess Yuling will participate. It is said that the little princess that the emperor holds in his palm will also participate. Even if my brother is really capable of taking first place, he dare not compete for it."

　　"If you can't compete for the first place, that's fine. However, I heard that Zhou Yun killed a kid from the Zhao family in Tianhe Province in the Black Dragon Mountains. The Zhao family followed Xiqing Hou, so they are our people anyway. When the time comes, let your brother cause some trouble for them. The power of the Duke of Pingnan is getting stronger and stronger, and we can't let them go on like this." With a slight sigh, the expression on Tang Li's face instantly became shrewd, completely different from the dandy look before.

　　After hearing Tang Li's words, the expressions on the faces of all the nobles became serious.

　　"Brother Tang, just leave this matter to me." Nodding, Tian Jin spoke slowly.

　　The conflict with the nobles at the gate seemed to have passed, but in fact, things were not that simple. Although the Marquis of Donghai was also a powerful figure in the navy of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the jurisdiction of Donghai was small after all, and there were no enemy countries, so it was relatively desolate. It was completely different from the prosperous South China Sea, which was in opposition to the Three Kingdoms. The South China Sea navy had always been controlled by the Duke of Pingnan.

　　Although Duke Pingnan Lin Hailong has retired from the army, the power he left in the South China Sea Navy is still extremely strong, and outsiders cannot penetrate it at all. Although he has retired from the army, the power of the Lin family is growing stronger and stronger.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun, a person who showed great potential, joined the Lin family and entered the Shenwei training camp. It was inevitable that he would arouse the vigilance of other forces.

　　Although he had not yet understood the specific circumstances of these matters, Zhou Yun had already prepared himself mentally.

　　Since we have decided to take this path, such conflicts are inevitable.

　　During this period of time, Zhou Yun had been practicing in Lin Junyao's Lanxin Garden. The practice time was fixed, and he practiced continuously for ten hours every day. In the evening, he would set aside two hours to have dinner with Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue and chat casually.

　　Nine days passed in a flash. In the basement of Lanxinyuan, Zhou Yun was still sitting quietly on the central stone platform, maintaining a meditation posture. Although there was no movement, the blue arc of light on Zhou Yun's body kept flashing.

　　And in that mysterious little piece, Zhou Yun's cultivation has entered the most critical moment.

　　On an inky black land, Zhou Yun was practicing the All-Seeing Thunder Fist move by move. In this mysterious little space, the effect of Zhou Yun's practice was far better than that in the outside world. Not only was the growth rate of his true strength extremely fast, but the speed of condensing lightning power was also much faster than practicing alone outside.

　　On the inky wilderness, Zhou Yun was practicing the All-Seeing Thunder Fist move by move. As Zhou Yun continued to practice, the lightning power in his body had quietly formed a cycle. During the continuous practice, Zhou Yun gradually discovered an extremely powerful attribute of the All-Seeing Thunder Fist, which was that the lightning power that was sent out could be slowly recovered.

　　But the effect of this recycling is not obvious yet, the lightning power seems to be just slowly recycling itself. But Zhou Yun judged that in the secret book of the fourth level of Wanxiang Benleiquan, there must be something similar to the mental method, which can promote the faster breeding of lightning energy in the body, and can also make the lightning power quickly return to the body by running this set of mental methods.

　　You know, the power of thunder and lightning is naturally absorbent, which just proves the power of the All-Seeing Thunder Fist.

　　Just imagine, a martial art that is both powerful in attack and defense and can also continuously replenish lost true energy, how terrifying would that be?

　　This Myriad Thunder Fist is known as the best martial art in the world, and it is indeed unique.

　　The more he practiced, the more Zhou Yun hoped to obtain the secrets behind the All-Things Thunder Fist. In addition to the fourth and fifth levels, Zhou Yun also wanted to obtain the secrets of the first and second levels. In Zhou Yun's opinion, only the full set of secrets can fully unleash the power of the All-Things Thunder Fist.

　　But at the moment, these things are not the most important, because Zhou Yun has already felt that his cultivation, which has been stagnant for a long time, is about to show signs of a breakthrough.

　　As long as he passes this level, Zhou Yun can reach the middle stage of tendon training and be one step closer to internal organ training and blood transfusion!

　　Chapter 101: Determined

　　In that inky land, Zhou Yun had already used the last move of the third level of the Myriad Thunder Fist. After finishing the move, Zhou Yun immediately felt the vibrating power in his body.

　　"Ah!" Finally, Zhou Yun couldn't suppress the desire in his heart. He raised his head and let out a long roar that shook the earth in the inky space.

　　Amidst the whistling sound, the lightning power in Zhou Yun's body began to vibrate wildly. The sound of electricity passing through his ears was endless. Under the baptism of lightning, Zhou Yun's physical strength once again leaped to a new level.

　　The cultivation that had stagnated for a long time finally made a breakthrough again. At this moment, Zhou Yun had reached the middle stage of tendon training!

　　In fact, the so-called stagnation of cultivation only refers to Zhou Yun's own cultivation speed. In fact, only one month has passed since he started to practice tendon training. In one month, he went from the initial stage of tendon training to the middle stage of tendon training. Such a speed of improvement is incredible to ordinary people, but compared with Zhou Yun's previous speed of improvement, this speed can be considered stagnant.

　　As his cultivation level improved, Zhou Yun immediately felt that the suppressed emotions in his heart were released, and his whole body and mind became extremely smooth.

　　Standing on the empty inky land, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

　　"As long as I have this mysterious little piece and this interface space, my growth rate can be guaranteed! Jun Yao, wait, after I come out of the Shenwei training camp, I will definitely marry you within two years!" Standing there, Zhou Yun shouted loudly to the empty world.

　　When Zhou Yun shouted this sentence in the inky world, in the basement of the Lanxinyuan small garden, the lightning power flowing on the surface of Zhou Yun's body suddenly gathered together and disappeared into Zhou Yun's body in an instant.

　　The moment the lightning power was taken back, Zhou Yun's momentum also changed, and in an instant, he entered a new level.

　　"Well, another breakthrough. This kid must have had a great adventure! It's really extraordinary. It makes people jealous!" In the courtyard outside the small garden, Lan Cang, who was meditating on the open space, also felt the changes in Zhou Yun in the secret room in an instant and couldn't help but smile out loud.

　　Today is the day to report to the Shenwei training camp. With his cultivation level improved, Zhou Yun silently practiced martial arts for another hour, allowing his mind to gradually calm down. Then he slowly ended his practice and walked out of the secret room in the small garden.

　　It was early morning at this moment. The air in the small garden of Lanxinyuan was extremely fresh, and the sound of birds singing and flowers blooming made people feel relaxed and happy.

　　From a distance, Zhou Yun had already released his spiritual sense and sensed the location of Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue.

　　Passing through the small garden, Zhou Yun entered the back garden of Lanxinyuan. On the west side of the back garden, in a small house built in a remote location, a fragrance was constantly wafting out, and along with the fragrance, there were bursts of silver bell-like laughter.

　　When Zhou Yun heard the voice, he knew that Jun Yao was with his sister Zhou Xue.

　　Although Lin Junyao was of noble status, she was not arrogant and had a very lively personality. When she was with Zhou Xue, Lin Junyao did not put on airs like a noble lady. The two of them were like best friends and would often have fun together.

　　When Zhou Xue was not here, the Duke's Mansion would send a cook to take charge of Lin Junyao's daily diet and prepare the meals. After the cook had prepared everything, she would leave on her own. There was no need for her to serve her personally. Lin Junyao did all the simple things by herself.

　　Since Zhou Xue arrived, Lin Junyao's diet has been entirely taken care of by Zhou Xue. Zhou Yun has no objection to this and does not think that his sister is inferior for cooking for Lin Junyao. The two grew up in different environments, so there is no need to care about these things.

　　Following the sound, Zhou Yun saw Zhou Xue standing behind Lin Junyao from afar. She was chatting with Junyao while watching her movements attentively, as if she was instructing her on something.

　　"Sister, Jun Yao." With a smile on his face, Zhou Yun began to greet her from afar.

　　Hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao immediately showed a cheerful smile on her face and waved to Zhou Yun repeatedly, "Zhou Yun, come here quickly, take a look, I cooked today's porridge."

　　Zhou Yun immediately ran up and saw the situation in the kitchen. It was early morning, and it should be time for breakfast. There were several small dishes on the small table in the kitchen, which were very exquisite. In front of Lin Junyao was a porcelain pot, and the aroma of porridge came from the pot.

　　"Jun Yao, it's time to stir it, otherwise it will become mushy." Just as Zhou Yun was about to give a compliment, Zhou Xue's words came out first.

　　"Oh, okay." As soon as Zhou Xue said this, Lin Junyao immediately lowered her head and carefully stirred the porridge in the pot. Seeing this scene, Zhou Yun laughed. It was not Lin Junyao who was cooking, but Zhou Xue.

　　Hearing Zhou Yun's laughter, Lin Junyao also reacted and pouted at Zhou Yun in a reproachful manner, "What are you laughing at? I'm already learning it, okay?"

　　Seeing Jun Yao's cute appearance, Zhou Yun's expression softened. He gently stroked Lin Jun Yao's hair and said, "Jun Yao, don't learn anymore. I don't want you to cook. Just be happy."

　　Although Zhou Yun's words were calm, Lin Junyao could still feel the friendship in them.

　　Her pretty face flushed slightly, and Lin Junyao nodded silently.

　　"Okay, let's get ready for dinner. Xiaoyun, you're going to report today, right? Are everything ready?" Pushing Lin Junyao aside, Zhou Xue took over. She served the porridge in a small bowl and put the side dishes on a tray. Then Zhou Xue asked Zhou Yun.

　　"Everything is ready. I'll report in after breakfast." The entrance time for the Shenwei Training Camp is in the afternoon. The Shenwei Training Camp is located in Tianhuang Mountain in the north of the capital. It takes two hours to walk there. In addition, Zhou Yun also needs to meet Zhang Hao before getting there, so it is necessary to go out early.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, the expression on Lin Junyao's face immediately became a little gloomy. Although she knew that Zhou Yun was leaving today, she still felt very sad when she actually heard it.

　　The breakfast was finished in a somewhat silent atmosphere. Knowing that Zhou Yun was leaving today and would not be able to come back for half a year, Lin Junyao had a look of grievance on her face.

　　It’s not that Lin Junyao is not sensible enough. Although she is the daughter of a duke and has a noble status, Lin Junyao is just a sixteen-year-old girl after all. How could Lin Junyao be so happy without seeing Zhou Yun for half a year?

　　"Xiao Yun, you stay with Jun Yao. I'll go back to my room first. Be careful in the military camp and don't act stubbornly. OK?" After dinner, Zhou Xue cleared the dishes and made two cups of tea before speaking to Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Xue naturally noticed that Lin Junyao was a little depressed. At this time, Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao should be given some private space.

　　"Sister, don't worry, I will be back safely in half a year." Nodding seriously, Zhou Yun spoke calmly.

　　After taking a deep look at Zhou Yun, Zhou Xue turned around and walked out. After Zhou Xue left, only Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao were left in the room.

　　With her head lowered, Lin Junyao turned around and faced away from Zhou Yun, not even knowing what to say.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun didn't know what to say at this moment. He had already made the promise many times, and there was no more meaning in saying it again.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's back, Zhou Yun suddenly knew what he should do. He took two quick steps, opened his arms, and hugged Lin Junyao from behind.

　　Being held in Zhou Yun's arms, Lin Junyao's delicate body trembled suddenly, but soon completely relaxed. Raising her head, Lin Junyao gently rubbed her forehead against Zhou Yun's chin, and her small hands also grabbed Zhou Yun's arms around her waist.

　　The two of them leaned against each other quietly, and this quiet embrace filled Lin Junyao's heart with happiness.

　　"Junyao, don't worry, I will keep my promise. I will definitely marry you within two years." Originally, when they were in Heyang, Zhou Yun and Lin Juntian had agreed on a three-year deadline, but now Zhou Yun has consciously shortened it by one year. Not for anything else, but just to let Lin Junyao live happily as soon as possible.

　　"Well, I believe you." Leaning in Zhou Yun's arms, Lin Junyao felt that her heart was a little intoxicated. In fact, Lin Junyao was sad just now because Zhou Yun couldn't accompany her more. After being upset for a while, Lin Junyao had completely let it go.

　　The gap between their status was so huge that if Zhou Yun hadn't worked so hard, they wouldn't have been able to be together. But Zhou Yun had to work, so he naturally had less time to accompany her.

　　Since I have chosen to continue with Zhou Yun, I must endure this loneliness.

　　"Zhou Yun, take good care of yourself over there. I was just feeling a little upset just now and that's why I acted like a spoiled child. I'm sorry." After realizing this, Lin Junyao immediately softened. She was not a willful girl.

　　Faced with Lin Junyao's apology, Zhou Yunzhen felt that he was speechless. Such a good girl was really a gift from God to him.

　　"Jun Yao, wait for me." After hugging the girl tightly and leaving a few words, Zhou Yun suddenly turned around and walked out quickly.

　　"Zhou Yun!" Feeling Zhou Yun leaving, Lin Junyao's heart immediately ached and she couldn't help but chase after him.

　　But her pace could not keep up with Zhou Yun's speed of leaving. Zhou Yun made up his mind and walked out of Lanxinyuan quickly without looking back.

　　"Mr. Lan, I'm reporting in. Jun Yao's safety is in your hands." After instructing Lan Cang who was standing at the gate of Lan Xinyuan, Zhou Yun resolutely walked out of the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan.

　　Chapter 102 Favorable Treatment

　　The troubles Zhou Yun encountered when he first entered the capital have been resolved. Now there are no safety risks when Zhou Yun walks on the streets of the capital. Now Zhou Yun is not sure whether those nobles will continue to deal with him, but Zhou Yun can be sure of one thing, even if those nobles want to cause trouble for him, they will never do it openly.

　　After all, Lin Juntian personally made the call in that small conflict, and also paid a certain amount of benefits. Since those nobles accepted Lin Juntian's benefits, they had to do enough things to save face, otherwise, it would be equivalent to officially declaring war on the Pingnan State Mansion.

　　Zhou Yun didn't believe that the other party would have so much free time to offend a powerful person in the capital because of such a small matter.

　　After a period of training, Zhou Yun not only improved his cultivation, but also improved his ability to see things clearly. It was because he had figured out these problems that Zhou Yun dared to walk on the streets of the capital so openly.

　　After silently releasing his spiritual sense and making sure that no one was following him, Zhou Yun quickly headed towards the south of the capital.

　　Zhou Yun had already sent a letter to Zhang Hao and others, telling them that the trouble had been resolved and everything could proceed as planned. Grateful to Zhou Yun, whether it was Zhang Hao, Old Man Mu, or Mu Tie, they were all very dedicated in their work.

　　Within a few days, they had selected a courtyard facing the street and purchased it for 80,000 taels of silver.

　　As soon as the courtyard was bought, Zhou Yun received the news. According to the address above, Zhou Yun checked the map of the capital and quickly found the courtyard.

　　The courtyard that Zhang Hao bought was on the corner of a cross street. In front of it was a three-story building that could be used for business, and in the back was a courtyard with two floors where one could live.

　　Zhou Yun had already learned about the situation of this small courtyard from the previous letter, so this time Zhou Yun did not enter from the main gate facing the street, but came to the inconspicuous back door of the small courtyard.

　　Bang, bang, bang…

　　Standing outside the small door, Zhou Yun knocked gently a few times.

　　"Who!?" Soon, Mu Tie's voice appeared inside the door.

　　"It's me." Recognizing Mu Tie's voice, Zhou Yun immediately replied.

　　Mu Tie who was inside the door had also recognized Zhou Yun's voice and knew that it was Zhou Yun outside. Mu Tie immediately opened the door and welcomed Zhou Yun in.

　　Mu Tie bowed respectfully to Zhou Yun and said, "Sir, you are here."

　　After a faint response, Zhou Yun asked, "Well, where are the others?"

　　"They are all inside. Please follow me, sir."

　　"good."

　　After a brief conversation, Zhou Yun followed Mu Tie, walked around the open space in the back garden, and came to the main house.

　　There are houses on all sides of the backyard of this small courtyard, with a patio in the middle. In addition to the main house, the east and west wings can also be lived in. The row of houses on the south side seem to be used as storage rooms, and a lot of things have been placed in them.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun coming in, several people who had gathered in the main hall came out to greet him, and immediately, two different names were called out at the same time.

　　"Young Master!"

　　“Big brother!”

　　The ones who called Zhou Yun "Young Master" were naturally Zhang Hao and Old Man Mu, while little Mu Yue happily called Zhou Yun "Big Brother" and ran up to hold Zhou Yun's hand. For some reason, little Mu Yue always seemed to have a natural sense of closeness to Zhou Yun.

　　"Little Mu, be good, go play over there." These days, everyone's life has settled down, Mu Yue doesn't go out, so she has returned to her previous appearance, dressed up beautifully and very cute. Although Zhou Yun likes this little sister very much, he doesn't have so much time to play with her now.

　　"Oh, okay." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, little Mu Yue nodded obediently, turned around and ran to the inner hall.

　　At this time, there were only Zhou Yun, Zhang Hao, Old Man Mu and Mu Tie left in the hall.

　　Since time was limited, Zhou Yun got straight to the point, "Little Mouse, I see a lot of things in the house on the south side. This yard is also pretty good. What are your plans?" After seeing the large packages in the room on the south side, Zhou Yun knew that Zhang Hao had already chosen the future direction of his business.

　　At the beginning, Zhou Yun told Zhang Hao that he hoped he could buy a shop in the capital, do some small business, and at the same time find out some information and get to know some people from all walks of life.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished asking the question, Zhang Hao and Old Man Mu looked at each other, then turned to Zhou Yun and said, "Sir, our idea is to turn the three floors in front into a teahouse. I looked around and found that there aren't many teahouses in the capital. When some people talk about things, they mostly choose to go to the private rooms of restaurants, which are very expensive and crowded. So we think that a teahouse is a good choice. It's not difficult to run, and we can get a lot of information from it."

　　"People who really want to discuss some secret matters probably aren't afraid of spending money." Zhou Yun questioned, frowning slightly.

　　With a confident smile on his face, Zhang Hao explained, "Sir, our teahouse is divided into three floors. The first floor is a large teahouse that receives all kinds of people. The second and third floors will be equipped with some secret private rooms, and the entrances are different from the first floor. As long as time goes by, we can create a brand here, and the business will definitely be popular. In addition, our tea is not priced high, and the snacks are all exquisite snacks that I have studied in some books. I believe that we can attract a group of people just by the price. As long as there are more people, there will naturally be mouths. With more mouths, there will be more news. With more news, more people will be attracted."

　　Listening to Zhang Hao's explanation, Zhou Yun gradually understood some of the clues and silently agreed with what they said.

　　"This is a good idea. I support you in doing it." Nodding, Zhou Yun finally expressed his opinion.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun trusted Zhang Hao and others very much, and he also knew that he did not have any key things in the hands of these people. Even if they betrayed him, the loss would not be great.

　　Under such circumstances, giving them power and letting them play freely is the best choice. Moreover, after a period of contact, Zhou Yun has a clearer understanding of Zhang Hao's abilities and believes that he can make a name for himself in the capital.

　　"Okay, with what you said, I feel relieved." Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhou Yun agreed with his idea.

　　The matter had been resolved, and Zhou Yun stood up. "Little Mouse, Father Mu, Brother Mu, I will report to the Shenwei Training Camp soon. I will not be able to leave for half a year after entering the camp. During this period of time, the affairs of the capital depend on you. In addition, if you have any problems that you cannot solve, you can go to the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion and find the prince Lin Juntian directly. I believe he will help you. I only ask one thing, be careful in what you do, don't be stubborn, and safety comes first."

　　The Shenwei training camp is about to open, and Zhou Yun no longer has time to stay here.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's instructions, Zhang Hao nodded immediately, "Sir, we know, we will do our best to handle the matter here."

　　After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Zhou Yun seemed to have thought of something. He waved his hanging right hand, and a stack of gold bills instantly appeared in Zhou Yun's hand.

　　Handing the gold notes to Zhang Hao, Zhou Yun said, "Little Mouse, this money is for you. I won't have any expenses after I arrive at the Shenwei training camp, and it would be a waste for me to keep these things. Take them. Don't be hard on yourself in life, and don't be reluctant to spend money to smooth relations."

　　"Sir, we still have enough money. You can keep it for yourself." Seeing Zhou Yun giving him money again, Zhang Hao immediately spoke in panic. Even Old Man Mu beside him followed Zhang Hao to persuade Zhou Yun.

　　"Young Master, you'd better take this money with you. It's really inconvenient to go out without money. You should keep this money well. Our teahouse will definitely make money after it opens. Besides, you don't need much money now, but when you join the army in the future, it will definitely cost a lot." As a warrior, Old Man Mu knew everything about the military.

　　Anyone who is promoted quickly in the army is always a person with strong martial arts, outstanding military tactics, and a lot of financial support.

　　Although the Tianyuan Dynasty's military treatment was good, the court's money and food were limited after all. Sometimes, whether one could quickly gather the soldiers under one's command depended on how much benefits one could give these soldiers.

　　Looking at the people who were thinking about him, Zhou Yun showed a gentle smile, "Father Mu, just take the money. Money is earned, not saved. I can't come out for half a year. I am worried about you staying here. Besides, even if you don't think about me, there is little Mu Yue. You can't let her suffer."

　　"Young Master..."

　　"Take it!" Old Man Mu wanted to say something, but was interrupted firmly by Zhou Yun. Without saying anything, Zhou Yun stuffed the money into Old Man Mu's hands.

　　"Thank you, sir." After a stalemate, Old Man Mu still took the money and thanked Zhou Yun.

　　Without further dwelling on this issue, Zhou Yun turned his head to look at the sky outside, estimated the time, and said, "Little Mouse, Father Mu, Brother Mu, time is running out. I have to go. This is my first time reporting, and I can't be late. I'll leave the capital to you."

　　"Young Master, don't worry!" In response to Zhou Yun's instructions, Zhang Hao, Old Man Mu and Mu Tie replied solemnly.

　　Having explained everything that needed to be explained, Zhou Yun bowed to the three people, turned and walked out of the hall, rode on the fast horse that Zhang Hao had prepared for him, and galloped towards the north gate of the capital.

　　They sent Zhou Yun out the door together. Looking at Zhou Yun's back as he left, Old Man Mu spoke slowly, "Xiao Tie, Xiao Hao, we have to run this teahouse well. We have to build relationships and get information, but we also have to make money. The young master has treated us so well, so we have to do better to repay him."

　　After hearing what Old Man Mu said, Mu Tie and Zhang Hao both nodded heavily.

　　Chapter 103 Shocking!

　　After leaving the courtyard where Zhang Hao and others lived, Zhou Yun rode his horse all the way towards the location of the Shenwei training camp.

　　The Shenwei Training Camp is located at the foot of Tianhuang Mountain on the north side of the imperial city. Tianhuang Mountain has been a rare place in the Central Plains since ancient times. All dynasties that built their capitals in Shangjing regarded Tianhuang Mountain as a royal forbidden area, which has created the unparalleled mystery of Tianhuang Mountain for thousands of years.

　　Zhou Yun had heard some rumors about Tianhuang Mountain. It was said that Tianhuang Mountain was the core of the entire continent and contained a passage to the Supreme World. Some people also said that after the Tianyuan Dynasty wiped out the Taoist sect in the Central Plains, all the secret treasures were stored in Tianhuang Mountain. The entire Tianhuang Mountain was an inexhaustible treasure house. Some people even said that the royal dragon veins of every dynasty were hidden in Tianhuang Mountain. As long as you control the dragon veins, you can control the world.

　　Various rumors describe Tianhuang Mountain as extremely mysterious, yet extremely attractive.

　　Over the years, many warriors have tried to sneak into Tianhuang Mountain to have a look, but there has never been any news of anyone succeeding, and no one has ever accurately described what is in Tianhuang Mountain or what it looks like. This has added a misty, dangerous and mysterious atmosphere to Tianhuang Mountain, making people more yearning for it.

　　After exiting the north gate of the capital, Zhou Yun could already see Tianhuang Mountain in the distance.

　　From the outside, Tianhuang Mountain is just a huge mountain that seems to be shrouded in gray, and there is nothing special about it.

　　But after Zhou Yun walked for an hour, an unusual feeling gradually came to his heart.

　　When he just left the city, Zhou Yun saw that Tianhuang Mountain was shrouded in fog and he couldn't see anything clearly. But after walking for an hour, the Tianhuang Mountain in the distance was still the same in Zhou Yun's sight as before, without even a single change!

　　The Shangjing City behind him was getting farther and farther away, but the Tianhuang Mountain in front of him didn't seem to be getting any closer.

　　"It is clearly written on the registration book of the Shenwei Training Camp that Tianhuang Mountain is located outside the north gate of Shangjing City and can be reached in two hours. Could it be written wrong?" Zhou Yun couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked at Tianhuang Mountain in the distance, which did not change at all.

　　The requirements of the Shenwei training camp are very strict. If you fail to arrive on time, you will definitely be severely punished. Is there something fishy going on?

　　"No, I have to speed up. What if my registration book is also tampered with? That would be troublesome." Suddenly, Zhou Yun thought of a possibility. If someone deliberately said that this distance could be reached in two hours in order to trick him, but in fact it could not be reached at all, that would be troublesome. Although he thought it was unlikely, Zhou Yun still sped up.

　　hiss!!!

　　Just as he was about to urge the horse under his crotch to speed up, before he could whip it, Zhou Yun heard a burst of horse neighing behind him. Then, the rumble of the carriage ran into Zhou Yun's ears.

　　He quickly turned around to look and saw a completely black carriage moving at full speed on the road behind him. The carriage was extremely large, almost four times the size of an ordinary carriage. There were at most four horses pulling the carriage, and they were all tall and strong red horses, looking extremely majestic.

　　On the shaft of the carriage, two warriors in black were driving the carriage intently. The words "Weiyuan" were written in bright silver on the front of the roof, creating an invisible aura of solemnity and oppression.

　　"It's actually four carriages!" Zhou Yun couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the carriage. In the Tianyuan Dynasty, there were strict regulations on the number of horses pulling carriages for nobles to travel. The emperor had six carriages, the prince had five carriages, the king of a different surname had four carriages, the duke, marquis, and earl had three carriages, and the lower three ranks of nobles could only use two carriages.

　　There are actually four horses riding on this one. I'm afraid the person sitting inside is either the king of a different surname or the prince's son.

　　The road leading to Tianhuang Mountain is usually not very popular, so it is not very wide. A carriage like this almost fills up the entire road.

　　Seeing the carriage on the opposite side rushing towards him recklessly, Zhou Yun immediately spurred his horse to move out of the way. The two warriors driving the carriage didn't even look at Zhou Yun, and drove straight past.

　　The moment the carriage flashed by, Zhou Yun released his spiritual sense to sense it, and suddenly found that the two warriors driving the carriage were all practicing organ blood exchange, and the man in the carriage was even more powerful than the two drivers!

　　With just a slight sensation, Zhou Yun's consciousness was immediately pushed back by the surging force of the carriage.

　　"Could this also be a student from the Shenwei Training Camp?" The carriage was moving at a very fast speed and disappeared from Zhou Yun's sight in the blink of an eye. Recalling the terrifying cultivation level of the man in the carriage just now, Zhou Yun couldn't help but frowned.

　　If the person in the car is really a student of the Shenwei Training Camp, then the existence of such a powerful person among the students is definitely not a good thing for him.

　　"Hold!" With a slightly solemn expression, Zhou Yun pulled the horse under his crotch vigorously and started to move forward at full speed.

　　In the next half hour, horse-drawn carriages began to catch up with Zhou Yun from behind on this road. All of them were pulled by extraordinary horses. There were four- and three-horse carriages among them. Zhou Yun even saw a luxurious five-horse golden chariot.

　　"It seems that the road is correct and the time is not much wrong, but the scale of this Shenwei training camp is really too big, and even the royal family is involved." While continuing to travel at full speed, Zhou Yun's mind was still recalling the carriages that had just passed by him.

　　One of the five golden carriages gave Zhou Yun a great shock. In the Tianyuan Dynasty, only the prince himself and the royal family could ride in a five-chair carriage. Even the prince's son could only ride in a four-chair carriage.

　　The people sitting in that five-horse carriage must be the descendants of the current emperor.

　　Riding on the horse, Zhou Yun forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart while continuing to move forward quickly. Now, there was only half an hour left before the opening of the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　He kept urging the horse, and finally, after about an incense stick of time, Zhou Yun finally saw a huge pillar standing upright into the sky in the distance.

　　No one knew what the giant pillar was made of. It was completely black and went straight into the sky. It looked as if it connected the sky and the earth together!

　　With a little shock in his heart, Zhou Yun continued to move forward. After about a cup of tea, other people finally began to appear in front of him. A square paved with bluestone appeared in front of Zhou Yun. On the square, many noble children with extraordinary temperament gathered in twos and threes.

　　The carriages carrying the nobles were parked on the west side of the square in order of their luxury. On the east side of the square there was an exquisite small building with windows that were almost floor-to-ceiling, providing an excellent view. White gauze was hung on the windows, swaying gently in the breeze. From the outside, the scene in the window was not clear at all.

　　At the northernmost part of the square, a huge bronze door opened on the mountain was tightly closed, with a strong pressure! Apart from this, there was nothing else in the entire square.

　　"That pillar!?" After quickly taking a look at everything on the square, Zhou Yun immediately realized that the giant pillar that had just appeared in his sight was not standing on the square, but in the mountain behind the giant bronze door!

　　"How could this be?" It looked very close, but when he actually got closer he found that it was actually very far away. Zhou Yun had never seen such a magical sight before!

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun tightened his hands on the reins, and the horse under him stopped immediately. Zhou Yun's face was filled with shock again.

　　Because he suddenly discovered that there were words on the black pillar at the far end!

　　Zhou Yun didn't know whether these words were just there or appeared after he stepped onto the bluestone floor of the square. In short, the big golden words on the black pillars once again gave Zhou Yun a strong shock!

　　"Emperor's Elite List!" At the top of the black pillar, five majestic characters were quietly displayed there, and below that, a string of names were lined up from top to bottom!

　　First place: Li Wanqiu

　　Second place: Li Fengyun

　　Third place: Xie Changtian

　　Fourth place: Lei Rong

　　5. Ukhlen Mountains

　　6th place: Han Shuo

　　…

　　No. 33: Li Xiaoxiao

　　34th place: Tian Yue

　　…

　　Riding quietly on the horse, Zhou Yun looked down at the names on the black pillar one by one. Among the names were Middle-earth names and some strange names of ethnic minorities, a total of more than sixty!

　　"Could this be the ranking list of students in the Shenwei Training Camp? But why is my name not on the list?" Looking at those names one by one, Zhou Yun began to murmur in his heart.

　　If this is the ranking list of students in the Shenwei Training Camp, my name should be on it.

　　Just when Zhou Yun was feeling strange, his eyes had already browsed to the bottom of the entire list!

　　No. 63: Wu Chen

　　No. 64: Zhou Yun

　　"It's actually the 64th!" When Zhou Yun saw that his name was the last one in the list, he immediately felt his face getting hot and a sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.

　　As far as Zhou Yun knew, the students in the Shenwei Training Camp were all between fifteen and eighteen years old. After such a long period of training, Zhou Yun was already convinced that even if his cultivation level was not the highest among his peers, it was definitely not bad!

　　How could he be ranked last in this ranking? Could it be that all the people in the square were so strong?

　　ah!!!

　　Just when Zhou Yun was shocked, a scream suddenly came from the center of the square in the distance!

　　Following the sound, Zhou Yun was shocked to find that a young nobleman wearing a red robe with a tiger head had actually pierced another young man's chest with a sword!

　　After a scream, the young man who was killed immediately fell down limply.

　　puff!

　　After killing the young warrior, the red-robed young man withdrew his sword contemptuously and returned to the crowd, chatting and laughing with a few familiar people.

　　The body of the killed young warrior actually disappeared directly on the bluestone floor, and even the bloodstains on the ground gradually dissipated.

　　Buzz!

　　At this moment, a small piece of golden light suddenly flashed on the black pillar, and a name suddenly disappeared on the pillar.

　　When he looked again, Zhou Yun suddenly realized that his name had risen to the 63rd place, but he was still the last one! And Wu Chen, who was originally ranked 63rd, had actually been removed from the black pillar!

　　Chapter 104: Conflicts among the Nobles

　　He actually killed someone in front of the Shenwei training camp!

　　Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Yun felt his heart twitch twice. In an instant, anger, astonishment, unwillingness, confusion, all kinds of emotions surged up, making Zhou Yun stand still.

　　"Why did this happen? Is there no one who cares about killing people? Since Wu Chen was able to enter the Shenwei Training Camp, he must have a strong cultivation base. Such a person who may very likely become a pillar of the country in the future was killed in front of the gate of the Shenwei Training Camp!" Zhou Yun was shouting angrily in his heart, and he was almost crazy.

　　Before leaving, Lin Juntian told him that there were death quotas in the Shenwei Training Camp, and also told him that those who died were generally powerless people selected from the civilian population.

　　But Zhou Yun originally thought that those nobles would kill people during the training assessment, or they would launch a sneak attack, but these should be done after entering the Shenwei training camp, and they should be done in secret. Zhou Yun never thought that these nobles would kill people here so openly, and it seemed that they killed people for no reason!

　　In this case, wouldn't this Shenwei training camp become a place without rules, close to a barbaric society?

　　Looking at the red-robed young man who had just killed someone in the distance but was now chatting as if nothing had happened, Zhou Yun clenched his fists unconsciously.

　　Shocked by what happened just now, Zhou Yun did not approach, but stayed at the edge of the square. Almost all the students in the square saw this scene, but no one stood up to say anything, as if all this was taken for granted.

　　On the east side of the square, in an exquisite small building, three people, two women and one man, were sitting there, sipping tea leisurely.

　　One of the two women was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with a noble temperament and fair skin, as if she had walked out of a painting. The other one was dressed in red clothes, lively and smart. Although her appearance was also beautiful, she was not like the woman in white. She had an ethereal and otherworldly aura. The man in the room had an expression that was indifferent to everything.

　　The three of them just drank tea quietly without saying a word. Looking closely, it was not difficult to find that there seemed to be some rifts between the three of them.

　　If Zhou Yun were here, he would definitely be shocked, because the woman in red was none other than Princess Yuling Li Xiaoxiao, who had met him once in the Black Dragon Mountains and saved him in Xiqing Town.

　　Although the noble young men in the square all looked wealthy and elegant, there was an obvious gap between them and the three people sitting in the small building at a glance.

　　The three people in the small building have an innate nobility that is almost incomparable, and is much purer than those noble young men below.

　　The quiet atmosphere continued until Wu Chen was killed, and then this quiet and silent atmosphere changed.

　　"Li Fengyun, those guys down there are too presumptuous. I really can't stand these people. They rely on a little power to kill the future pillars of society who have been selected with great effort! You'd better discipline them, otherwise if they make me angry, I will be rude to them!" Looking at the scene below, Li Xiaoxiao's little face immediately showed a trace of anger, and she spoke to the man in blue next to her.

　　The noble sons who were killing people were all from the prince's faction, and Li Fengyun also supported the prince, so Li Xiaoxiao was angry at Li Fengyun.

　　The man in green was none other than the person whose cultivation Zhou Yun had investigated on the road, the eldest son of Prince Weiyuan, Li Fengyun.

　　There are only three people from the royal family and princes' children in the Shenwei training camp this time. Apart from Princess Li Xiaoxiao of Prince Jin and Prince Li Fengyun, the offspring of Prince Weiyuan, the only one left is the woman in white, the third princess Li Wanqiu of the dynasty.

　　After hearing Li Xiaoxiao's doubts, Li Fengyun smiled calmly and said slowly, "With your ranking of 33rd, how can you be rude? Once you enter the Shenwei training camp, no outsiders can interfere. Life and death depend on your own ability. Zhuang Xian can't come in to help you. I think you should think about how to save your life and stop interfering in other people's affairs."

　　"I am the princess of the Dynasty, how dare anyone attack me!" Upon hearing Li Fengyun's words, the straightforward Li Xiaoxiao immediately became angry. Before coming to the Shenwei training camp, Li Xiaoxiao already knew some of the rules here.

　　There were no immortals in the previous Shenwei training camps. Such unreasonable killings were not uncommon in the Shenwei training camps. The dead were usually some powerless civilian geniuses. The real noble heirs were usually more restrained. Because no matter which of these nobles made a mistake, it would cause a shock to the forces behind them.

　　Li Xiaoxiao was a princess of the current dynasty, and was extremely noble. Naturally, no one would dare to attack her, so Li Fengyun's words made her extremely angry.

　　"Who knows?" With a half-smile on his face, Li Fengyun took a sip of the fragrant tea, stood up, and walked down the stairs leisurely.

　　Watching Li Fengyun leave, Li Xiaoxiao was so angry that her eyebrows were raised, but there was nothing she could do. In terms of cultivation, she was no match for Li Fengyun, but in terms of status, she was a princess and Li Fengyun was a prince, and he was not inferior to her.

　　"Sister Wanqiu, Li Fengyun is really going too far. Why don't you do anything about it? Your cultivation is higher than his, teach him a lesson!" As soon as Li Fengyun left, Li Xiaoxiao grabbed the arm of the woman in white beside her and spoke angrily.

　　This woman is none other than the third princess of the current emperor, Li Wanqiu, the number one person on the Emperor's Elite List.

　　"Xiaoxiao, my cultivation is not much higher than his." Li Wanqiu said gently with a smile. After a simple explanation, Li Wanqiu immediately changed the subject and asked Li Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, hasn't Uncle Zhuang been guiding you in your cultivation? You have good talent, so why are you ranked so far behind?"

　　When asked by Li Wanqiu, Li Xiaoxiao's pretty face immediately flushed with embarrassment. "Sister Wanqiu, I'm still young, only sixteen years old, and the camp entrance test was four months ago. At that time, I was only at the beginning of tendon training. Now I have reached the middle stage of tendon training, and Uncle Zhuang taught me some new skills. I am much better now. In the first assessment after entering the camp, I will definitely be able to improve my ranking."

　　Patting Li Xiaoxiao's hand lovingly, Li Wanqiu said calmly, "Xiaoxiao, you need to be patient when practicing martial arts. Once you choose a technique, you must study it persistently. Don't be greedy and learn too much without mastering it."

　　"Okay, okay, I get it. Just like Uncle Zhuang, he always talks about me. How annoying!" Waving his hands impatiently, Li Xiaoxiao stood up, walked to the window of the small building, and looked towards the square in front. A figure in a blue suit immediately came into Li Xiaoxiao's sight.

　　"It's him!" Looking at that figure, Li Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately lit up.

　　The man in blue tights that Li Xiaoxiao saw was Zhou Yun. After seeing the massacre just now, Zhou Yun suppressed his inner shock and anger, and gradually calmed down.

　　It was only at this moment that Zhou Yun truly experienced the cruelty of the Shenwei training camp.

　　Standing in place, Zhou Yun did not rush forward. Those noble young men were standing in groups of three or five in various locations in the square. If he went over now, he might cause some trouble. Although Zhou Yun was not afraid of these troubles, he did not want to cause trouble easily.

　　Just because Zhou Yun doesn't cause trouble doesn't mean that other people won't provoke him. In the distance, the noble young men who had just killed someone have begun to watch Zhou Yun from afar.

　　"Tian Yue, the guy who looks like a savior is the one your eldest brother asked us to flatter? He is actually ranked 64th, even more useless than the loser we just killed. Is such a person worthy of Tian Jin's special care?" With a defiant expression on his face, the young man in red who had just killed Wu Chen spoke to another young man in black with contempt.

　　Although Zhou Yun did not make any other movements, the suppressed anger on his face was obvious, so the young man in red said that Zhou Yun "looked like a savior."

　　"Brother Liu, that boy is not simple. It is said that he has reached the realm of refining organs and exchanging blood. He has been valued by Lin Juntian and taken into the mansion of the Duke of Pingnan. My elder brother told me this because he was arranged by the prince of Beiwei. He doesn't want to see the Lin family become bigger and bigger." The noble young man in black is Tian Yue, the younger brother of Tian Jin, the prince of Donghai Marquis, and the young man in red who just killed someone is Liu Yuan, the prince of Shen'ao Marquis. After hearing Liu Yuan's question, Tian Yue immediately replied with a serious face.

　　"Doing internal organ blood transfusion?" As soon as Tian Yue finished speaking, before Liu Yuan could say anything, a young man in a purple brocade robe with a lion pattern spoke up immediately, with a look of contempt on his face. The young man in the purple robe said contemptuously, "Isn't it possible that Tang Li has been bewitched by that bitch from the Sanjiang Marquis family? The cultivation level test for entering the Shenwei Training Camp is extremely accurate. If he really did do internal organ blood transfusion, he would probably be ahead of me. How come he is ranked last?"

　　This purple-robed young man is Han Shuo, who ranks sixth on the Emperor's Elite List. He is the eldest son of Julu County King Han De. In terms of family background, he is even higher than Tang Li, the son of a duke. However, due to his age, his cultivation is not as good as Tang Li, and the power in the hands of the Han family is not as strong as that of the Tang family. On weekdays, he is always inferior to Tang Li, which makes Han Shuo feel resentful. When talking about Tang Li, he is naturally very impolite.

　　Although they are all children of nobles and are all in the prince's faction, these nobles still have their own conflicts.

　　Knowing that he had said something wrong and had upset Han Shuo, Tian Yue could only stammer, "This matter was arranged by my eldest brother, and I am not very clear about the specific situation." Tian Yue was not the eldest son of the Marquis of Donghai, so he did not inherit the position of the crown prince. With a low status, he naturally did not have much confidence.

　　Glancing at Zhou Yun from a distance, Han Shuo showed a hint of a sinister smile on his face, and said slowly, "Tian Yue, since Tian Jin asked you to deal with that guy, and the training camp hasn't officially started yet, it's okay to kill someone. Why don't you go over now and finish him off? How about that?"

　　Chapter 105: Blood bursts out!

　　Hearing that Han Shuo actually wanted to send him to kill Zhou Yun in public, Tian Yue immediately shook his head.

　　Because of the conflict between him and Tang Li, Han Shuo despised Tang Li and ridiculed Tang Li for saying that Zhou Yun's ability to practice blood exchange was because he was bewitched by women, which was nonsense. However, Tian Yue knew that Tang Li was not a reckless person. Although he was greedy for money and lustful, he was indeed a capable person, otherwise he would not have been valued by the prince.

　　Tang Li said that Zhou Yun had the ability to practice organ and blood exchange. Maybe Zhou Yun really had such ability.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun in the distance was obviously angry. If he went to pick a fight with him at this time, and if Zhou Yun really had a high level of cultivation and used heavy force on him in a rage, then he would be in real danger.

　　Even though Zhou Yun would definitely pay a price after he was injured, it would be meaningless to him. Once he was seriously injured and could not recover, his future would be over.

　　"Brother Han, no, I can't go." After realizing this, Tian Yue immediately waved his hand to refuse.

　　Seeing that Tian Yue dared to reject him, Han Shuo's face immediately flashed with displeasure. He stared at Tian Jin and spoke slowly, "What? You dare not listen to me? Do you really think that guy has the ability to practice blood exchange and you are afraid that you will die if you bump into him?"

　　"No, Brother Han, you misunderstood." Although he didn't dare to challenge Zhou Yun, Tian Yue also knew that Han Shuo was someone he couldn't afford to offend. Facing Han Shuo's questioning, Tian Yue hurriedly explained, "Brother Han, Lin Juntian has already contacted Tang Li about Zhou Yun's matter, and Tang Li also promised not to embarrass Zhou Yun. My brother is also involved in this matter, and I am also a related person. So if I take action at this time, Tang Li will lose his credibility in front of Lin Juntian, and then there will be trouble. You know, in order to settle this matter, Lin Juntian has sacrificed 30,000 stones of military rations. If Tang Li continues to attack Zhou Yun after receiving the benefits, it will be difficult for Lin Juntian to pass the test."

　　"So what if he breaks his promise? What does Tang Li's breaking of his promise have to do with me?" Han Shuo said coldly, still looking unhappy.

　　Tian Yue rolled his eyes for a few times, and immediately thought of a way to excuse himself. He said, "Brother Han, you know that the Crown Prince is trying to win the support of the Lin family. We are all under the Crown Prince's control. If we offend Lin Juntian too much at this time, and force the Lin family to side with the Third Prince or the Eighth Prince, the Crown Prince will definitely blame us."

　　As soon as Tian Yue finished speaking, Han Shuo showed a hesitant look on his face. Although he was the prince of a county, the Julu County Prince did not have as much power as the Duke of Beiwei, so his status in front of the prince was not as good as Tang Li's.

　　If the prince's good fortune is ruined at this time, his future life will be really sad.

　　Seeing the hesitation on Han Shuo's face, Tian Yue was immediately delighted. The crisis before him was avoided, but Tian Yue had another thing in mind.

　　When they arrived at the Shenwei training camp, Tian Jin told him that this time he had to give Zhou Yun some eye drops so that he could not escape from the Shenwei training camp unscathed. It would be acceptable if he lost some limbs, but it would be the best if he could never get out again.

　　Tian Yue has a high degree of autonomy in how things are done, but there is only one thing: he cannot do it openly, and it is best not to do it himself.

　　Isn’t the current situation an opportunity?

　　Thinking of this, Tian Yue immediately spoke up, "Brother Han, there are actually ways to deal with Zhou Yun."

　　"Hmm?" Han Shuo immediately became interested after hearing Tian Yue's words. "Tell me, what can you do?"

　　Looking at Liu Yuan standing opposite, Tian Yue smiled slightly and said, "I can't do anything about this matter, but Brother Liu can. Brother Liu's cultivation is one level higher than mine. The most important thing is that Brother Liu has just killed a civilian warrior on the grounds of being an eyesore. In everyone's eyes, Brother Liu is a person who doesn't like civilians to infiltrate the Shenwei training camp and waste resources. In this case, why not let Brother Liu take action and kill Zhou Yun, isn't it the best? Brother Liu has never been offended by Zhou Yun, and then we can explain to Lin Juntian that we didn't know what happened before, but just didn't like Zhou Yun, so Lin Juntian can't say anything."

　　Han Shuo's eyes lit up and he immediately laughed, "That's a good idea, Liu Yuan. Good things come in pairs. Today, I'll leave these civilian bastards to you to take care of."

　　Han Shuo was an impulsive person who didn't think carefully enough, and the son of Shen'ao Hou, Liu Yuan, was no less capable than him, with a brain that was also lacking in ideas. Upon hearing Han Shuo's words, Liu Yuan immediately laughed, "Okay, then I'll go grab the prize."

　　Liu Yuan bowed to Han Shuo, Tian Yue and the other two noble children beside him, then he held the sword in his hand and turned to walk towards Zhou Yun. Han Shuo also smiled, ready to see how Liu Yuan would finish off Zhou Yun.

　　"You are so reckless and have no brains at all. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't value you." Looking at Han Shuo beside him and Liu Yuan who was approaching Zhou Yun step by step, Tian Yue sneered in his heart.

　　No matter what, his goal has been achieved, and the rest of the time is just watching the show.

　　On the square, Liu Yuan, who was originally standing in the center, was already holding a long sword and approaching Zhou Yun step by step. Seeing this scene, all the nobles shook their heads silently, while others smiled. The remaining few scattered civilians were panicked, fearing that they would be the next one.

　　This scene also fell into the eyes of Li Xiaoxiao, who was standing in front of the window of the small building on the east side.

　　"Sister Wanqiu! Liu Yuan wants to kill someone more!" Seeing Liu Yuan's actions, Li Xiaoxiao's face immediately showed a trace of anxiety, and she turned around and wanted to go downstairs.

　　Although Li Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yun had no friendship at all, and Zhou Yun had offended Li Xiaoxiao in Xiqing Town, Zhou Yun's performance in that battle in Xiqing Town had left a very deep impression on Li Xiaoxiao. In addition, she later saw Zhou Yun in a coma, and because of Zhou Yun's resolute appearance, she admired the boy for the first time. Although she didn't know what kind of feelings this was, Li Xiaoxiao understood that she didn't want Zhou Yun to get hurt!

　　"Xiaoxiao, don't worry. That man has strong cultivation and Liu Yuan can't hurt him." Just as Li Xiaoxiao was about to go downstairs to stop him, a delicate hand reached out and grabbed Li Xiaoxiao's arm. The next moment, the voice of Li Wanqiu, the third princess of the dynasty, was heard.

　　"Sister Wanqiu, do you know his cultivation level?" After hearing Li Wanqiu's words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately calmed down a little, and remembered Zhou Yun's performance in the battle in Xiqing Town. At that time, facing a warrior who practiced internal organ exchange, Zhou Yun could resist for a while. Although Liu Yuan was ranked 20th on the Emperor Elite List, he should only be at the peak of tendon training, and at most his true strength was stronger. Zhou Yun was unlikely to be killed by him. But she was still a little worried, and Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help asking one more question.

　　A faint smile appeared on her beautiful face, and Li Wanqiu said, "It was Manager Fu who told me. I met him on the road when I came here. Manager Fu checked his cultivation and found that he should be in the middle stage of tendon training. Although there is a gap between him and Liu Yuan, he should be able to resist."

　　Li Wanqiu had already said this, and Li Xiaoxiao finally stopped wanting to go downstairs, but she still stood in front of the window, paying close attention to Zhou Yun.

　　Just now, when Liu Yuan came out, Zhou Yun already felt a killing intent. The red-robed young man who had just killed Wu Chen with a heavy hand was now approaching him with a long sword.

　　Zhou Yun stared at Liu Yuan with a cold gaze. His body straightened quietly, and the true energy in Zhou Yun's body began to circulate.

　　After a few breaths, Liu Yuan had walked to less than ten meters in front of Zhou Yun. With a playful smile on his face, Liu Yuan said, "Boy, don't you know that looking around can get you killed? You started staring at me as soon as you came here. I feel very uncomfortable with you staring at me, so I can only make sure that you never have the chance to see me again."

　　Naturally, he wanted to say in the future that he killed Zhou Yun because he disliked him, so Liu Yuan still had to say a few words like this.

　　After hearing Liu Yuan's words, Zhou Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, but the look in his eyes became even colder.

　　"It's really not easy to survive in this Shenwei training camp. If you don't cause trouble, trouble will find you. In this case, what else should I worry about?" Zhou Yun thought silently in his heart while looking at Liu Yuan in front of him.

　　In a flash, Zhou Yun had murderous intent in his heart!

　　Just now, Zhou Yun had silently released his spiritual sense to sense the cultivation levels of these noble young men in the entire square. Zhou Yun discovered that there were actually only four people who had reached the stage of organ blood exchange, and they were all in the early stages. Their combat power had no advantage over his own.

　　As for why he was ranked last on the Emperor's Elite List, it was probably because the giant pillar used Zhou Yun's cultivation level when he was admitted as a reference. When Zhou Yun passed the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination and was qualified to enter the Shenwei Training Camp, he only had the cultivation level of the primary bone training level. If calculated based on that level, Zhou Yun's ranking should indeed be the last.

　　But now... the situation is completely different.

　　"Will I never have the chance to see you again? Actually, that's easy. Just put down the sword in your hand, go back home, and never go out again. Isn't that enough? If you think this is troublesome, I have a quicker way. As long as you die, you will definitely be absorbed by this bluestone earth and disappear. Then I will never see you again." The murderous intent in his heart had accumulated, but Zhou Yun showed a smile on his face. Looking at Liu Yuan, Zhou Yun responded with even more outrageous sarcasm.

　　"Looking for death!" Liu Yuan, who had never been humiliated like this before, immediately became furious after hearing Zhou Yun's mocking words.

　　The long sword hanging at the waist was pulled out suddenly, bringing with it a flash of icy light. At the same time, the true energy in the body circulated, and the temperature around seemed to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant, as if making people feel as if they were in a world of ice and snow!

　　This is exactly the sword technique that Liu Yuan practiced, the Ice Sword Technique!

　　"You bastard! Go to hell!" With crazy anger in his eyes, Liu Yuan stabbed the sword in his hand straight into Zhou Yun's heart with earth-shaking spirit.

　　This time, Liu Yuan was so furious that he used all his strength. Almost all the true energy in his body burst out, and he was extremely ferocious!

　　Feeling Liu Yuan's powerful aura, the faces of those who were watching this battle in the central square became solemn. They did not expect that Liu Yuan had such a powerful cultivation base!

　　"It seems that this kid is dead." In the distance, with a cruel smile on his face, Han Shuo made a final comment.

　　Then, what happened the next moment made him open his mouth in disbelief.

　　Liu Yuan, who had his back to the crowd, had not yet rushed to Zhou Yun, but people watching the fight from afar saw a sharp light like a knife coming out from Liu Yuan's neck.

　　Immediately afterwards, a human head separated from the body, flew high into the sky, and blood spurted out!

　　Chapter 106: Encirclement and Killing!

　　brush!

　　The sharp blade was instantly retracted after cutting off Liu Yuan's neck.

　　Then, two consecutive "thump" sounds were heard, and Liu Yuan's body fell straight to the ground. His head, which had been chopped off and flew up, also fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and then stopped moving.

　　It seemed that he didn't realize what was happening until his death. Liu Yuan's eyes were still wide open, and he died with his eyes open!

　　Seeing this scene, all the nobles in the square fell silent in an instant. In the huge square, one could hear a pin drop, and no one spoke. What was happening before their eyes made them all a little confused.

　　Liu Yuan, the son of the Marquis of Shen'ao, was killed before entering the Shenwei training camp! Until now, they still couldn't believe it!

　　Buzz!

　　At this time, a dazzling golden light flashed again on the black giant pillar that rose straight into the sky in the distance! Liu Yuan, who was originally ranked 20th, disappeared, and the rankings of all warriors after the 20th place rose one place in turn!

　　When they saw Liu Yuan's name disappear from the giant pillar behind them, everyone realized that Liu Yuan was really dead.

　　boom!

　　In an instant, the entire square became noisy, and all the noble warriors looked at Zhou Yun as if he were a monster, hardly daring to believe what was happening before their eyes!

　　"Did you see that? That kid didn't have any weapon in his hand, so where did that blade energy come from?"

　　"This is true energy coming out of the body. The speed is so fast and the power is so great. Moreover, after the true energy is released, it can be retracted instantly without any damage to the body. What kind of martial arts is this kid practicing?"

　　"This is going to be a big deal. The son of the Marquis of Shen'ao was killed, and he was killed in public. I'm afraid this matter can't be suppressed at all."

　　After the initial surprise, people in the square immediately started talking.

　　On the small building on the east side of the square, Li Xiaoxiao, standing in front of the window, was also horrified. She turned her head and looked at the third princess Li Wanqiu beside her. Li Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully, "Sister Wanqiu, this cultivation level is the middle stage of tendon training?"

　　Zhou Yun's technique just now was the real power coming out of his body, and it was definitely powerful and extremely fast. Otherwise, it would be impossible to hit Liu Yuan's neck when he couldn't react at all.

　　Moreover, that force actually cut off Liu Yuan's neck and his head flew up, which means that the force was definitely very strong! How could such a cultivation level be the middle stage of tendon training?

　　Li Wanqiu frowned slightly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Yun also changed a little. "I don't know either, but what Manager Fu said should not be wrong. I don't understand the specific situation either."

　　As soon as Li Wanqiu finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao also became confused. Fu Zongguan was an old eunuch with high moral character and high moral character in the palace. He had a profound cultivation and his whereabouts were erratic. In his early years, he had always been by the emperor's side. His cultivation had already broken through the realm of martial saints through Yijing marrow washing.

　　When the third princess Li Wanqiu started to learn martial arts, Fu Zongguan was appointed by the emperor to be Li Wanqiu's mentor and personal protector. Since he said that Zhou Yun's cultivation was at the middle stage of tendon training, it should not be wrong. However, everything in front of him was too difficult to explain.

　　Zhou Yun was able to use his inner strength to attack from outside his body because his inner strength was too strong. Not many people knew this, and most people would never have thought that a warrior who had not yet reached the stage of internal organ exchange would have such strong inner strength. After showing this, Zhou Yun immediately became mysterious in the eyes of everyone.

　　At this time, Liu Yuan's body also disappeared on the bluestone ground.

　　"It seems that no matter whether you are a noble or a commoner, everything is the same after death." Looking at Liu Yuan's disappearing body, Zhou Yun also showed a smile on his face.

　　Liu Yuan died, but unlike when Wu Chen died, the ground was empty. His sword was left behind, lying there quietly. Next to the sword shining with cold light, a jet-black ring was also left there.

　　Walking forward, Zhou Yun picked up Liu Yuan's sword and ring and put them into his own space ring.

　　"Hand over the things!" Seeing Zhou Yun casually picking up Liu Yuan's sword and space ring, Han Shuo finally couldn't bear it anymore. He rushed straight to a position only fifteen meters away from Zhou Yun and shouted loudly.

　　Just now, when Liu Yuan was killed by Zhou Yun, Han Shuo was also greatly shocked. Although his cultivation had reached the realm of an innate martial artist who could practice internal organs and exchange blood, Han Shuo asked himself that he had no way to kill Liu Yuan in such a short moment.

　　According to Han Shuo's temper, if Zhou Yun directly killed someone, he would definitely rush forward at the first moment. However, thinking of Zhou Yun's cultivation level and seeing that Zhou Yun dared to kill people directly, Han Shuo, who was confused for a moment, forcibly stopped himself from rushing forward.

　　But now, seeing Zhou Yun openly taking away Liu Yuan's long sword "Xuanbing" and space ring, Han Shuo couldn't help but speak out.

　　Liu Yuan was the son of Liu Fang, the Marquis of Shenmo. The number of treasures in his space ring must be very large, and Han Shuo also coveted these things. The reason why the Marquis of Shenmo was named Shenmo was because he was not an official in charge of military power or civil power, but a mysterious official in the dynasty who was responsible for refining elixirs and researching elixir formulas.

　　The Tianyuan Dynasty royal family was also good at alchemy. On that day, among the many secret treasures of the Middle-earth sects collected by the royal family, there were many recipes and elixirs. Liu Fang, one of the dynasty's mysterious officials, also mastered many exquisite recipes and refined countless finished elixirs. As Liu Yuan was the son of Liu Fang and came to participate in the Shenwei training camp, it was almost conceivable how many high-quality elixirs there would be in the space ring!

　　It turns out that these pills are contained in a space ring!

　　Although the space ring is extremely valuable, there are many in the hands of the princes in the capital. However, the ice sword technique that Liu Yuan learned and the long sword "Xuanbing" forged with extremely rare ten thousand year ice iron are much more valuable.

　　It can be said that Zhou Yun picked up at least tens of millions of taels of silver with just that casual pick-up. How could Han Shuo remain calm?

　　Looking at Han Shuo's anxious expression, Zhou Yun had already guessed what he was thinking.

　　"Sir, if you want to get rich, you can go and kill two people. If you want, you can also kill me, and the things in my hands will naturally be yours." Looking at Han Shuo with a smile, Zhou Yun spoke slowly.

　　When Zhou Yun sensed the cultivation level just now, he had already noticed Han Shuo. He was also one of the four students in the square who had the ability to practice internal organs and exchange blood. However, in Zhou Yun's opinion, this person's cultivation level was the weakest among the four.

　　In the early stage of practicing blood transfusion, Zhou Yun was confident that he could fight back, and he had no intention of returning the things that Liu Yuan dropped.

　　"You...!" Han Shuo's face immediately turned red after being retorted by Zhou Yun. Now, all the nobles in the square were looking at him. These nobles were not all the prince's men. Among them were the subordinates of the third and eighth princes, and many of them were from the Xiaoyao faction who did not participate in the fight for the throne.

　　These people definitely want to see him make a fool of himself here, and they will definitely not help him. Han Shuo is now in a difficult situation.

　　The strength Zhou Yun displayed was strong enough, and Han Shuo had no confidence that he could defeat Zhou Yun. If he acted rashly and lost, even if he did not lose his life, he would not be able to hold his head up in the aristocratic circle of Shangjing in the future.

　　"Brother Han, we can't let Zhou Yun go." Zhou Yun and Han Shuo were facing each other from a distance of more than 20 meters. Just when Han Shuo didn't know what to do, Tian Yue's voice suddenly came from behind him.

　　Turning his head, Han Shuo immediately saw Tian Yue, who looked distressed. In fact, it was Tian Yue who came up with Liu Yuan's idea to cause trouble for Zhou Yun. If he didn't show some sadness, Han Shuo probably wouldn't let him go. Fortunately, Tian Yue was very good at acting.

　　Seeing Tian Yue's expression and the critical situation, Han Shuo really didn't care any more. "Then what do you say we should do? Zhou Yun's cultivation is unfathomable. You saw what happened just now. Even if I take action, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat him. If I lose, the consequences will be really disastrous."

　　Looking at Zhou Yun in the distance, Tian Yue's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said silently, "Brother Han, our companions have been killed. If we don't take action, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in Shangjing in the future. Therefore, this battle must be fought! However, it is not you, Brother Han, who will go alone. The four of us will go together."

　　At this time, the other two noble sons who were in a small group with Han Shuo and Tian Yue also came over. It was obvious that they also agreed with Tian Yue's words and were ready to take action together.

　　Han Shuo was startled and immediately broke into a cold sweat. He shook his head and said, "No, no, your cultivation is not even at the level of internal organ replacement, and is even lower than Liu Yuan's. If I rush forward and lose my life, not only will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blame me, but your family members will not let me go either."

　　"I promise that Zhou Yun won't dare to kill any more people." With a sly smile on his face, Tian Yue turned around and looked behind him, and said in a relaxed tone, "Look, the Prince of Yingwu has come out and is looking at us. The Prince is also the Prince's man and will not let us be killed. I'm afraid Zhou Yun has sensed it and his face has changed. Now is our chance!"

　　After hearing what Tian Yue said, Han Shuo quickly turned around to look, only to find that in front of the small building on the east side of the square, Prince Weiyuan's son, Prince Yingwu Li Fengyun, had walked out of the small building where only the royal family and the prince's descendants could stay and rest. He was standing on the steps in front of the building, gazing at this side.

　　Li Fengyun's appearance at this time was almost obvious! Han Shuo's face lit up immediately when he saw Li Fengyun. "Okay, then let's do it together!"

　　After saying this, Han Shuo waved his right hand, and suddenly, a sword shining with a little blue light appeared in his hand. Then, Tian Yue and the other two noble children also took out their weapons from their space rings. The four of them spread out in a semicircle and surrounded Zhou Yun from a distance.

　　Chapter 107: Four-petal mouth!

　　At the moment Zhou Yun was in a dilemma. On a small building in the distance, a young man in a light yellow robe was watching him silently.

　　The young man had a handsome appearance, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a smart body. Most importantly, he had a natural noble air, as if he did not belong to this world.

　　At this moment, the two were 500 meters apart. The young man just stood there quietly, and it was impossible to see what he was looking at or what his expression was. But Zhou Yun could clearly feel in his heart that he was looking at him.

　　In front of him, the other four people who were in the group of the noble son he killed were approaching him, but Zhou Yun had to pay more attention to the young man standing casually in the distance. As soon as that person appeared, Zhou Yun could judge that he was the person whose cultivation Zhou Yun had explored on the way to the Shenwei training camp, but whose spiritual perception was dispersed by an invisible force.

　　Riding in a four-horse carriage, Zhou Yun, who was the son of a prince, held a high position of power, and had unfathomable cultivation, immediately felt an instinctive sense of crisis when being stared at by such a person.

　　"Zhou Yun, hand over the things on Liu Yuan's body, and then cut off one of your arms. I can promise that I will not make things difficult for you during the Shenwei training camp." Just as Zhou Yun was paying attention to the young man in the distance, a cold voice suddenly came over.

　　The four men had already come very close, and Zhou Yun had to withdraw his attention and turn his gaze to the noble young man who was speaking.

　　The man held a claw-like hook in his hand, the tip of which was polished to a bright shine, giving off a cold glow. This kind of weapon gave people a cold feeling at first glance. Once hooked, this kind of hook-shaped weapon would be extremely painful and difficult to escape from. It was the most vicious weapon.

　　Zhou Yun had just noticed this young man. He seemed to be a think tank in the noble young man's team. It was this guy who suggested Liu Yuan to cause trouble for him just now.

　　And now, the four people came together to force their way in, and it was also this person's idea. Obviously, this person is insidious and cunning, likes to protect himself, but wants to provoke others to conflict in order to gain benefits.

　　"You should worry about yourself." Zhou Yun hated such a villain the most. After hearing his words, Zhou Yun immediately responded coldly. With a slight movement of his right hand, the Tianyan Steel Knife in the space ring appeared in his hand.

　　There was no emotion in Zhou Yun's eyes, just like a cold-blooded beast. When Tian Yue was stared at by Zhou Yun, he immediately felt uncomfortable all over.

　　But thinking that Yingwu County King Li Fengyun was standing behind him, Tian Yue's confidence could not help but increase. "Zhou Yun, I know you have a high level of cultivation, but I also want to tell you clearly that not everyone can be killed casually. Yingwu County King Li Fengyun is watching you from behind. If you dare to hurt anyone today, Yingwu County King will definitely not sit idly by and watch. I guarantee that you will die without a complete body!"

　　Tian Yue's words did make Zhou Yun feel awkward. Zhou Yun had experienced the cultivation level of the Yingwu Prince, and he knew that he was definitely not a match for the Yingwu Prince at the moment.

　　But in a flash, Zhou Yun understood what was happening before his eyes. No matter what he did, these noble children would not let him go!

　　"Bah! If I don't resist, will I have an intact body? What a joke!" Zhou Yun spitted at Tian Yue sarcastically. The expression on his face suddenly became firm. Looking at the four people in front of him, he said righteously, "I didn't want to cause trouble to you, but you want to cause trouble to me. In this case, I might as well kill a few more people. Killing one will cover my investment, and killing two will make a profit. Since you want to take action, you must be prepared to die!"

　　As soon as the majestic words came out, Zhou Yun's true power also began to stir. Now, Zhou Yun could only rely on his own strength. In this place, no one would help him. No matter how powerful the opponent was, he must not lose the courage to fight!

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's powerful aura suddenly become stronger, Han Shuo and the others immediately became nervous.

　　"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to really kill anyone. Besides, even if he really dares to kill someone, the prince will not let him go! Things have come to this point, we can't embarrass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Seeing that everyone had shown signs of retreating, Tian Yue immediately shouted to encourage them.

　　"Kill!" After saying this, Tian Yue roared first, and the iron hook in his hand hooked towards Zhou Yun's abdomen from the bottom like a ghost's claw!

　　"Kill!" Seeing Tian Yue taking the first step, Han Shuo and the others finally plucked up their courage and rushed over together thinking of Zhou Yun.

　　snort!

　　With a cold snort, Zhou Yun did not retreat and went straight towards Tian Yue. When the two were still seven or eight meters apart, Zhou Yun swung the Tianyan steel knife in his hand fiercely. In an instant, a gray blade energy shot out and directly hit the iron hook in Tian Yue's hand!

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun could actually release his true energy at such a fast speed, Tian Yue was horrified and hurriedly used the iron hook in his hand to block it.

　　nail!

　　There was a loud collision sound, and Tian Yue was knocked back several steps by Zhou Yun's attack. However, the true power in Zhou Yun's body did not penetrate the iron hook, but directly attacked Tian Yue.

　　"How could this happen!?" It stands to reason that it is very difficult to block an attack from the body's true energy with weapons, because true energy is not a substance. The sword energy emitted by Zhou Yun also has an arc, a long and narrow line. Even if a part of it can be blocked by the iron hook, the arc that is not blocked should pass through the iron hook and directly attack Tian Yue.

　　"Hehe, this iron hook of mine is made of star iron. How can your third-rate true power penetrate it? Prepare to die!" Seeing Zhou Yun's surprise, Tian Yue grinned grimly and pounced on him again.

　　At this time, Han Shuo and the others' attacks were all concentrated at once. Although these noble sons looked arrogant and domineering, everyone's cultivation was above the standard. These noble sons might be arrogant and frivolous on weekdays, but each of them still understood something in their hearts.

　　These people understand why they have their current status, so they are very dedicated to their cultivation.

　　The skills these four people learned were extremely advanced, and they cooperated with each other very well. Zhou Yun couldn't find a good opportunity for a while.

　　After a few rounds, Zhou Yun had several wounds on his body.

　　"Sister Wanqiu, he is dying. What should we do?" Li Xiaoxiao, who had been watching Zhou Yun from upstairs, immediately became anxious when she saw Zhou Yun in danger again.

　　Indeed, the pressure Zhou Yun faced at this moment was much greater than before. The four people who besieged him cooperated very well, and Han Shuo had already reached the level of internal organ training and blood exchange, and the other three were also at the peak of tendon training. Zhou Yun was suppressed in an instant.

　　Li Wanqiu had been paying attention to the battle below. Seeing Zhou Yun fending off attacks in a somewhat awkward manner, the expression on Li Wanqiu's face did not change much.

　　"This Zhou Yun hasn't really let go yet. His swordsmanship isn't coherent enough, and it seems like he hasn't used some follow-up moves yet. Wait a little longer, he's being forced, and then the real killer move will come out." Li Wanqiu's cultivation is the highest among all the students in this group. In addition, she is a true royal family. She has come into contact with countless precious martial arts secrets, so she naturally has a wide range of knowledge. Only then can she see through Zhou Yun's current problem at a glance.

　　Zhou Yun was indeed hesitant now. In front of so many nobles, Zhou Yun did not dare to openly use the Shadow Blade Sect's unique skills. This Shadow Blade Sect's unique skills were different from the Myriad Thunder Fist. The Myriad Thunder Fist was bestowed by General Shenwei. Without the permission of General Shenwei, even if the secret manual was obtained, ordinary people would not dare to practice it easily.

　　However, the secrets of Shadow Blade Sect did not have such concerns. Shadow Blade Sect's swordsmanship was considered one of the rare top-level skills in the world. Whether it was the Speed ​​Blade, the Phantom Blade, or the Vibrating Blade Secret, once it was revealed, it would inevitably attract the covetousness of everyone. It was a crime to possess a treasure. Once the secrets were revealed, Zhou Yun's life would be really difficult.

　　But without the secret techniques of the Shadow Blade Sect, Zhou Yun was now somewhat unable to resist.

　　puff!

　　Finally, the somewhat conflicted Zhou Yun was stabbed in the chest again. Immediately, a stream of burning blood gushed out, and Zhou Yun's brows instantly frowned because of the pain.

　　“Hahaha, you're nothing special. I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you're just a guy who can only launch sneak attacks. I guess Liu Yuan was careless and you gave him the opportunity!” Han Shuo laughed wildly when he saw Zhou Yun being hit by his sword.

　　"That's right. How can a poor and lowly person have any profound cultivation?"

　　"I also heard that your sister also entered the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion. Could it be that she became a concubine of someone there in exchange for a place in the Shenwei training camp?"

　　After Han Shuo's ridicule, the other two noble sons also laughed at Zhou Yun. Originally, Zhou Yun didn't care about these ridicules, but the last sentence mentioned Zhou Yun's sister Zhou Xue.

　　In an instant, real murderous intent appeared in Zhou Yun's eyes!

　　For Zhou Yun, Zhou Xue is the person he is closest to and respects the most. No one, no matter who it is, can insult her!

　　"Just expose yourself. No matter what danger it is, I can block it alone, but I will never allow anyone to insult my sister!" The evil words directed at Zhou Xue finally opened the shackles in Zhou Yun's heart. Raising his head, Zhou Yun stared at the noble young man who had just insulted Zhou Xue, and the true energy in his body began to run wildly.

　　At this time, Han Shuo and others did not notice the danger and were still laughing wildly.

　　"Let's go and kill this guy, then capture his sister and sell her to the official kiln!" After Kuang Lang's call, Han Shuo immediately rushed forward first.

　　brush!

　　Before he could take a step, a gray knife light flew towards him.

　　He quickly raised his knife to block it, but this time he was unable to completely block the knife light emitted by Zhou Yun. The split knife light slashed directly at Han Shuo's face. Shocked, Han Shuo leaned back frantically, trying to avoid the attack.

　　puff!

　　Blood flashed, and although Han Shuo was not killed by this knife, his upper and lower lips had been completely cut off, turning him into a monster with four petals on his mouth!

　　Chapter 108: The Thunder Prison of All Things!

　　He felt his lips get cold, and then, as blood flowed, Han Shuo immediately felt a sharp pain.

　　ah……!

　　Covering his mouth, Han Shuo screamed without any image. It didn't matter that he covered his mouth, but Han Shuo immediately felt that his two lips had been completely cut off from the middle. Han Shuo had felt that his mouth was leaking air when he was screaming, and this time he felt it more clearly, his mouth had become four petals.

　　"Zhou Yun, I want you dead!" His mouth was cut like this, almost disfigured, and his eyes immediately turned blood red. Han Shuo roared wildly and immediately rushed towards Zhou Yun regardless of anything.

　　Seeing Han Shuo like this, the other two nobles also got angry and rushed towards Zhou Yun. At this time, Tian Yue's eyes flickered, as if he had noticed something. Instead of rushing forward, he took a step back.

　　brush!

　　Before Han Shuo and the other two noble sons could pounce on him, Zhou Yun had already swung the Tianyan steel knife in his hand three times at lightning speed, attacking the three people who were rushing towards him.

　　The speed of these three swords was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the sharp sword energy had already swept towards them.

　　Sensing danger, Han Shuo and the other two noble sons immediately raised their weapons to block, while trying their best to turn their bodies to the side.

　　But Zhou Yun's sword energy was too fast. They just dodged a little, and the sword light had already cut into them. Suddenly, three more blood lights appeared. At this moment, Zhou Yun had removed the shackles in his heart and truly exerted the power of the Shadow Sword Sect's secret method.

　　The combination of the Speed ​​Blade, the Magic Blade, and the Vibrating Blade, plus Zhou Yun's powerful true strength and strength, was simply not something Han Shuo and the other two could resist.

　　After blocking the attacks of Han Shuo and the other two and completing a counterattack, Zhou Yun did not stop at all and rushed straight towards the nobleman who had just insulted Zhou Xue.

　　Zhou Yun could ignore other matters, but he would never let go of the person who spoke ill of Zhou Xue.

　　His eyes were cold, and Zhou Yun's inner strength was spinning wildly. The Tianyan steel knife in his hand was also raised silently. This was a sign that Zhou Yun was ready to attack. As long as this attack was launched, the nobleman who insulted Zhou Xue would definitely die!

　　"Prepare to die!" Zhou Yun shouted and raised the knife in his hand.

　　"don't want!"

　　The huge force of Zhou Yun's sword had already made the nobleman lose his balance. Facing Zhou Yun's fierce attack, he could not dodge it anyway. Feeling that death was about to fall, the nobleman immediately screamed in fear, but this did not hinder Zhou Yun's actions at all.

　　Watching this scene, the rest of the people in the square shook their heads silently, lamenting that Han Shuo and the others were looking for trouble and had caused such a big trouble for them.

　　Just as Zhou Yun's steel knife was about to fall, suddenly, a mysterious light descended from the sky and enveloped Zhou Yun.

　　Covered by this light, Zhou Yun immediately felt as if he was pressed down by a heavy mountain and could no longer move.

　　The light that enveloped Zhou Yun emitted a golden halo, like a mirage. In the shining golden light, an image of a majestic giant door appeared in the center of the light!

　　There was no door panel on the huge gate, it was just wide open, and at this moment Zhou Yun was located in the center of the door opening.

　　In a flash, before anyone could react, a sealing stone similar to a door panel began to slowly descend from the top of the giant gate, pressing directly onto Zhou Yun's head!

　　Although Zhou Yun couldn't see anything, other students on the square could see the scene around Zhou Yun. The majestic giant door frame locked Zhou Yun tightly, and the sealing stone falling from the giant door slowly descended, trying to crush Zhou Yun into a pool of meat paste!

　　"Oh my God! It's the Divine Light Heavenly Gate of Guanghua Gate!" Seeing the huge gate covering Zhou Yun, the more knowledgeable noble children in the square could not help but shout.

　　"The Yingwu County King has taken action! I didn't expect that he was practicing the secret method of Guanghua Sect!" At this time, Li Fengyun, who was standing in front of the small building, was also surrounded by a dazzling golden light. Seeing this, even a fool would know that this terrifying giant door was created by Yingwu County King Li Fengyun.

　　The attack method used by Li Fengyun was even more shocking!

　　Shen Guang Tian Men, one of the secret methods of Guang Hua Men, this secret book is so precious that it is almost impossible to describe it! !

　　Before the Tianyuan Dynasty wiped out the Taoist sect in Middle-earth, there were five giant sects with transcendent status in the entire Middle-earth, namely Liangyi Divine Sect, Tianlong Temple, Jiange, Zhenling Dao, and the last one was the Guanghua Sect.

　　These five major sects have equal status, but the directions of development of their skills are different.

　　The Liang Yi Sect uses Taoism to control the power of yin and yang.

　　Tianlong Temple is guided by Buddhism, and the exercises it covers are extremely comprehensive and all-encompassing.

　　The Jiange is dedicated to the study of swordsmanship and the pursuit of enlightenment through sword.

　　The True Spiritual Way emphasizes cultivating the mind first, using the mind to integrate all things in the world, in order to control all things in the world and use them for their own benefit.

　　The Guanghua Sect is good at all kinds of fantastic illusion attacks. When fighting with the Guanghua Sect, even if the opponent is still a few hundred meters away from you, you must never take it lightly, because before you know it, you may have been in a killing trap set by the Guanghua Sect disciples.

　　Zhou Yun in front of him was in such a situation. The gravity above his head was constantly pressing down, as if the sky was falling down. Zhou Yun felt as if his body was almost crushed.

　　At this time, Tian Yue, who had retreated to the side, saw another opportunity.

　　"He can't move! Let's go!" Knowing that it was Prince Yingwu Li Fengyun who took action, Tian Yue's eyes lit up and he immediately called on Han Shuo and others to attack.

　　Although judging from the current situation, Zhou Yun will inevitably die if he continues like this, but if Zhou Yun can die in his hands, then he and his brother Tian Jin will have a better time in front of the prince in the future. After all, killing Zhou Yun can also be regarded as regaining face for the prince.

　　"Kill!" Han Shuo and the others didn't think too much about it. They were more angry at Zhou Yun at the moment, especially Han Shuo. He had lost all his face in today's battle. Moreover, with his lips cut like that, he couldn't go out to see people in the future.

　　"Ah! Sister Wanqiu!" On the embroidery building on the east side of the square, Li Xiaoxiao also saw the changes in the field. The changes came too fast, and Zhou Yun, who had just had the advantage, was almost in a deadly situation in an instant. With a scream, Li Xiaoxiao anxiously called out the name of Li Wanqiu beside her.

　　The originally calm face finally revealed a hint of solemnity. Li Wanqiu raised her right hand quickly, and a white light condensed at her fingertips in an instant. Other nobles did not know what Li Fengyun was practicing, but Li Wanqiu knew it very well. Not only did she know, but she also knew how to crack it.

　　There is actually a hidden power channel connecting the golden light on Li Fengyun's body and the divine light gate in the distance. However, most people's cultivation is not enough and they can't see this channel at all.

　　As long as she can cut off that channel of power, the divine light gate created by Li Fengyun will disappear in an instant, and Zhou Yun’s danger will naturally be eliminated.

　　Just before Li Wanqiu was about to make a move, Zhou Yun, who was suppressed by the Divine Light Heavenly Gate in the distance, suddenly burst into a dazzling blue light from his body!

　　Originally, when the Divine Light Heaven Gate pressed down, Zhou Yun had no power to resist at all. He could only try his best to support his body and not let himself fall. As for Han Shuo, Tian Yue and others who were rushing towards him with weapons raised, Zhou Yun had no way to deal with them.

　　But at this dangerous moment, Zhou Yun suddenly felt a powerful force coming up through the ring finger of his right hand. It was a powerful force of thunder and lightning!

　　After the power was introduced, although Zhou Yun's body was still under strong pressure, he was no longer without the ability to resist.

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun clenched his fists, raised his head, and let out a deafening roar!

　　"ah!!!"

　　This roar was so powerful that it even brought out the sound of rolling thunder. Beside Zhou Yun, thick lightning bolts began to spin wildly.

　　Clenching his fists, Zhou Yun instinctively released all the strength in his body!

　　"The Thunder Prison of All Things!"

　　Boom! Boom! Boom!

　　As Zhou Yun's power exploded, a thick and oppressive dark cloud suddenly gathered above his head. Although the dark cloud was only thirty meters in radius, it still gave people a depressing feeling as if the end of the world was approaching.

　　Then, as Zhou Yun's fists continued to clench, thick lightning bolts began to bombard the dark clouds madly and irregularly.

　　This move is the last one in the third level of the Myriad Thunder Fist, the 'Myriad Thunder Prison' that Zhou Yun has never been able to master!

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun bent his knees slightly, assumed the posture of Wanxiang Thunder Post, clenched his fists, and the lightning as thick as his arms on his body was spinning madly like floating spirit snakes, constantly gathering from his body, and converging into a thick lightning above Zhou Yun's head, injecting into the center of the dark cloud above his head.

　　Zhou Yun's hair was now completely loose, the headband had disappeared, and the unrestrained hair all stood up, disappearing in the thick lightning that connected Zhou Yun's body with the dark clouds above.

　　"ah!!!"

　　With his eyes tightly closed, Zhou Yun once again roared to the sky. During the roar, the lightning in the dark cloud above Zhou Yun's head, which was as thick as an arm, became even thicker and thicker than a bowl! The speed of the bombardment also instantly became more rapid and violent!

　　In the mad thunder and lightning, the Divine Light Heavenly Gate that was originally suppressing Zhou Yun had already been shattered. Han Shuo, Tian Yue and the other two noble sons who attacked Zhou Yun were too close to Zhou Yun and were in an area with dense thunder and lightning. Before they could even call for help, they were beaten into charcoal by the mad thunder!

　　This roar lasted for nearly a minute, until Zhou Yun's roar died down and his body relaxed, the lightning in the dark cloud at the top gradually became sparse until it disappeared, but the rumbling sound of thunder and lightning around still lingered faintly and continuously, and the atmosphere in the entire square became more depressing than ever.

　　In the square, all the nobles looked at Zhou Yun with different eyes, from contempt and indifference to fear and respect. The powerful strength Zhou Yun had just displayed had frightened these pampered nobles.

　　If any one of them were to be under such thunder and lightning, they would probably be struck into a piece of black charcoal like Han Shuo and the others!

　　The Thunder Prison of All Things finally ended. Zhou Yun felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained. For a moment, he could hardly stand!

　　At this time, Li Fengyun, who was standing in front of the small building on the east side of the square, suddenly moved, and rushed towards Zhou Yun like a gust of wind!

　　Chapter 109 Students Enter the Camp

　　Zhou Yun’s performance just now not only shocked other people in the square, but also shocked Li Fengyun.

　　Originally, he only thought that Zhou Yun was a civilian warrior with a stubborn temper, a little bit of adventure, and good cultivation. But Zhou Yun's performance just now showed that the adventure he got was not just a little adventure, but a huge adventure!

　　The Emperor's Pillar showed that Zhou Yun's cultivation ranked last among the students in this period of the Shenwei Training Camp, which meant that three months ago, when Zhou Yun participated in the regional martial arts examination, his cultivation was indeed very low, at least, lower than Wu Chen, who ranked second to last. Although Li Fengyun didn't know what Wu Chen's cultivation was at that time, until he was killed, Wu Chen's cultivation was only at the peak of bone training. Zhou Yun's cultivation was lower than his, which meant that three months ago, Zhou Yun's cultivation must have been below the peak of bone training.

　　He was so weak just three months ago, but now he has such a strong power. Not only can he fight four people at once, but he can also break his divine light gate. In an instant, Li Fengyun keenly felt that Zhou Yun must have a treasure on him!

　　As a prince, Li Fengyun simply disdained the treasures that ordinary people got through some small adventures. These things were simply within his reach. But the treasure on Zhou Yun's body could make a person's cultivation leap in a short period of time. Such a treasure was enough for him to value.

　　Moreover, Zhou Yun had just killed five nobles under the Crown Prince, and he had already made enemies with the Crown Prince. It was impossible for him to be in the same camp with him in the future. If Zhou Yun did not side with the Crown Prince, he would most likely join the camp of the Third Prince or the Eighth Prince, and even the Lin family would become the Crown Prince's hostile force.

　　It would be better to kill such a person now, and then go to the Lin family to explain and give some compensation. This is definitely better than letting him grow up and become a threat to oneself!

　　But now, Zhou Yun is at his weakest, and everyone else in the square is also in a daze. It is a good opportunity to take action!

　　Aiming at Zhou Yun in the distance, Li Fengyun started.

　　scandium!

　　As soon as he took a step, a sharp sword light immediately struck down straight from above Li Fengyun's head.

　　Feeling the sword light, Li Fengyun was startled and stopped quickly.

　　call!

　　As if it knew that Li Fengyun would stop, the sword light changed direction and disappeared behind Li Fengyun.

　　The next moment, a figure in white clothes came quietly and stopped beside Li Fengyun.

　　"Third Princess, what do you mean?" Knowing that the sword light that blocked him just now was emitted by the Third Princess Li Wanqiu, although Li Fengyun was angry in his heart, he did not dare to show it and could only ask calmly.

　　Standing side by side with Li Fengyun, Li Wanqiu regained his composure. He glanced at Zhou Yun from a distance and said calmly, "This boy has practiced the Myriad Thunder Fist to such a level. I'm sure that General Shenwei will also notice him. If you kill him, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences."

　　As soon as Li Wanqiu finished speaking, Li Fengyun's expression changed immediately. Indeed, the Myriad Thunder Prison move Zhou Yun had just used was too powerful. Li Fengyun asked himself, even if he stood in the Thunder Prison, he would probably not be able to escape unscathed.

　　As the heir of a prince, Li Fengyun is very familiar with the All-Aspect Thunder Fist. The All-Aspect Thunder Prison is one of the most difficult moves to master in this set of boxing. Although this move appears in the third level, as far as he knows, many warriors who have learned the All-Aspect Thunder Fist still find it difficult to use this move after completing the fourth level.

　　Zhou Yun has mastered this move to such an incredible power at such a young age, which is sure to attract the attention of General Shenwei.

　　After figuring this out, Li Fengyun's expression calmed down and he regained his calm and composed state. "Thank you, Third Princess."

　　Li Fengyun bowed slightly to Li Wanqiu beside him, then turned and walked away.

　　After Zhou Yun launched that earth-shattering move, the ranking on the black pillar changed again. The names of Han Shuo and the other four all disappeared on the black pillar.

　　Although Zhou Yun's ranking is still last, he has risen from 62nd to 58th.

　　Although his ranking improved, Zhou Yun had nothing to be happy about. After this battle, he was afraid that he had gotten into huge trouble. Although the Shenwei training camp was completely closed, Zhou Yun himself did not believe that people outside would not know the news here.

　　He killed five noble sons in a row and caused such a big mess. I believe Lin Juntian must be under a lot of pressure.

　　Woo!!!

　　Just as Zhou Yun was thinking silently, a low horn sounded from the huge gate on the north side of the square. With the sound of the horn, the huge bronze gate began to vibrate slowly. At the same time, a fiery red color began to appear in the sky, as if a rain of fire was about to fall, and even the temperature around it suddenly rose to an extremely terrifying level.

　　Zhou Yun's body was already weak at the moment, and when swept by the heat wave, his whole body was immediately soaked with sweat!

　　"It's the Red Flame Army! The Red Flame Army is actually in charge of this inspection!"

　　"How could this happen? They actually sent the Emperor's personal guards to inspect. Wasn't it the generals from all sides who inspected the Shenwei Training Camp before?"

　　Feeling this wave of heat, the nobles in the square immediately made waves of cheers.

　　The Shenwei training camp was held every three years, and every time the camp opened, the imperial court would send a general to inspect the camp. After the assessment, most of the students would become disciples of the general and be transferred to his army.

　　And the one in charge of the assessment this time turned out to be one of the emperor's personal guards, the usually mysterious Red Flame Army! It was no wonder that the nobles in the square couldn't help but exclaim.

　　Listening to the noisy sounds in the square, Zhou Yun took a deep breath, suppressed his weakness, took a few steps forward with difficulty, picked up the space rings and weapons dropped on the ground by Han Shuo and others who had just been killed, and put them into his own space ring.

　　Just after all this was done, the huge bronze door on the mountain at the far end finally slowly opened. Suddenly, a more violent heat wave swept over, and at this moment, several nobles who were close to the huge bronze door could not help but step back several steps!

　　There were only five people in the entire square who kept their steps steady and did not retreat.

　　As Zhou Yun was the farthest away from the giant bronze gate, the impact he received was relatively small. He only took a step back and then stabilized his body.

　　The huge bronze door had been fully opened, but it was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen. Although it was daytime, the space inside the door seemed to absorb light, and even the sunlight shining overhead could not illuminate what was inside the door.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun was also shocked by this magical scene. Born as a servant, Zhou Yun's knowledge was not broad, and this was the only scene he had ever seen in his life.

　　The red fire in the sky continued, and the temperature began to rise higher and higher. At this time, a low but soul-piercing roar of a monster suddenly came from the dark space inside the giant gate.

　　In an instant, the sound of orderly footsteps hitting the ground came from inside the door. The next moment, warriors wearing red armor, holding red scimitars and with tight masks on their heads ran out of the huge door in an orderly manner.

　　Each of these warriors has a powerful aura. Although there are only more than thirty of them, each of them seems to have stronger cultivation than Zhou Yun!

　　"Could it be that the Tianyuan Dynasty is so strong? There is even an army composed of warriors who are all at the level of blood exchange?" Zhou Yun felt a little unbelievable in his heart for a moment. He couldn't help but release his spiritual sense to explore the cultivation of these people in the distance.

　　roar!

　　As soon as Zhou Yun released his spiritual sense, a terrifying roar of a monster suddenly rushed over and completely shattered Zhou Yun's spiritual sense!

　　Shocked by this loud roar, Zhou Yun immediately felt a piercing pain in his head.

　　The next moment, a monster head surrounded by blazing flames emerged from the void of the huge bronze gate.

　　What kind of monster is this!

　　Zhou Yun had never seen it before, or even heard of it. It was red all over, over six meters tall, and as big as a small mountain. Its eyes were as big as two millstones, emitting a dark red, emotionless light. It had a mouth full of fangs, and flames were spewing from its nostrils. There were seven or eight hard red horn spikes on the back of its head. Its four hooves were strong and powerful, and its tail, which looked like a steel whip magnified more than ten times, swung left and right behind it.

　　At first glance, almost all the people in the square were standing there, unable to move at all!

　　On top of the giant flaming beast, a warrior wearing a nine-ring chain mail armor that covered his entire body was riding there, looking coldly at all the people in the square.

　　Although the general was just looking straight ahead, everyone felt that he was actually looking at them, especially Zhou Yun, who had the strongest feeling. As soon as the general appeared, Zhou Yun felt that he was staring at him, as if he could see through him.

　　This was the most powerful person Zhou Yun had ever seen in his life. The pressure this person brought to him was even greater than the mysterious group of four he met in the Black Dragon Mountains!

　　After glancing around indifferently, the general finally spoke. His voice was like muffled thunder, which seemed very far away and yet very close. The sound immediately surrounded the ears of every student!

　　"This Shenwei Training Camp is under the charge of the Emperor's personal guard, the Red Flame Army. I, Yan Yin, will inspect the entire Shenwei Training Camp assessment. Everything you see and hear in the Shenwei Training Camp must not be spread to others. Those who violate the order will be killed immediately, and their three clans will be exterminated!"

　　"After entering the camp, enter your own small building according to your name. It is strictly forbidden for students to kill each other in the living area. Those who violate the order will be killed immediately by the Flame Army! When completing field missions, combat assessments, and passing customs training, anyone can kill others at will, regardless of life or death!"

　　"In the Shenwei training camp, there will be a routine assessment every month. According to the results, the ranking will be displayed on the Emperor's Elite List on the Emperor's Pillar. The higher the ranking, the richer the reward. Other detailed rules and regulations can be found in the study room in your residence."

　　"The student who ranks first in this Shenwei training camp will be allowed to challenge the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace. If he can pass, he will receive a complete set of the Wanxiang Benlei Fist secret manual and become the direct disciple of General Shenwei!"

　　"Now, the Shenwei Training Camp is officially open!"

　　After all the rules were announced, Yan Yin rode directly on the giant flaming beast, turned around and disappeared into the void of the giant bronze gate.

　　All the Red Flame Army soldiers who remained at the door quickly formed into two teams, standing on both sides of the huge door. They raised their swords, bringing out a flash of fire, and shouted in unison!

　　"Students enter the camp!"

　　————————————

　　When I woke up today, I suddenly saw so many VIPs in the book, and a huge chapter, and I was deeply moved. Due to family matters, Xiaosheng has not been updating recently, sorry everyone.

　　But after receiving the reward from Bmsoh, I know that there are still many readers who care about me and the book "The Holy Lord of All Worlds" even though my updates are so slow.

　　Thank you all very much. From today on, I will update at least three times a day. Please supervise me. I will definitely do what I say!

　　Chapter 110 Living Area

　　Yan Yin had already entered the bronze gate riding the giant beast, and the warriors of the Flame Army lined up in two teams on both sides of the bronze gate, leaving a passage in the middle for the students to pass through.

　　Seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Shenwei training camp had just begun.

　　Although there were still many students standing near the huge bronze gate, no one dared to go in at this moment. Everyone quietly stepped aside and turned their attention to the small building on the east side of the square.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun saw this scene, he knew that everyone was waiting for the two people standing in front of the small building.

　　Originally, there was only Li Fengyun in the small building, but at some point, another woman in white with a bit of otherworldly aura appeared beside Li Fengyun. Although the two stood side by side, Li Fengyun consciously moved back a little, and it was obvious that the status of the woman in white was higher than his.

　　When he saw the absolutely beautiful woman in white, Zhou Yun knew that she must be the person sitting in the five-chariot golden chariot that he saw on the road, and she must be the biological daughter of the current emperor.

　　Knowing that everyone was waiting for her to leave first, Li Wanqiu smiled faintly and nodded slightly to the many students in front of her. It was just a faint smile, just like a hundred flowers blooming, making people feel like spring breeze. Moreover, the kindness and care contained in this smile fully reflected her royal demeanor. After all, weren't these people in the square working for her dynasty?

　　After smiling, Li Wanqiu waved behind her. Suddenly, a lively and smart little girl ran up from the small building and held Li Wanqiu's hand.

　　When Zhou Yun saw the little girl, he was immediately startled.

　　"It's actually her?" The moment Zhou Yun saw the little girl for the first time, her fiery red clothes, beautiful face, and bright eyes made her recognized. This girl was the woman in red who had met him once in the Black Dragon Mountains and saved his life in Xiqing Town.

　　When Zhou Yun saw Li Xiaoxiao, Li Xiaoxiao also saw him. As if in protest, Li Xiaoxiao pouted, clenched her fist, and gently raised it towards Zhou Yun. Although it was such an action, Zhou Yun did not feel any threat, but felt the utter cuteness of Li Xiaoxiao.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun still doesn't know what Li Xiaoxiao's identity is. When he was in the Black Dragon Mountains, Zhou Yun guessed that Li Xiaoxiao must be from a wealthy family, but to what extent, Zhou Yun had no idea. Now it seems that this wealthy family is really "big".

　　Li Xiaoxiao's actions were naturally seen by everyone else in the square. Zhou Yun didn't know Li Xiaoxiao's identity, but everyone else in the square knew it. Seeing that Zhou Yun seemed to know Yuling County Princess Li Xiaoxiao and had just received help from the Third Princess Li Wanqiu, everyone couldn't help but look up to Zhou Yun again.

　　Zhou Yun looked at Li Xiaoxiao who entered the huge bronze gate with Li Wanqiu. A smile appeared on his face and he said silently in his heart, "This girl saved my life in Xiqing Town, but I didn't have time to thank her. This time I must find her and thank her in person."

　　Li Wanqiu and Li Xiaoxiao had already walked in, and following behind them, Li Fengyun also walked into the huge bronze door.

　　The three people with the most noble status had entered first, and then everyone entered in order according to their ranking on the Emperor's Elite List. Zhou Yun was weak and still ranked last, so he mustered up his strength and walked into the huge bronze door at the end of the team.

　　As soon as he entered the huge bronze gate, Zhou Yun immediately felt as if he had stepped into a world of nothingness. It was dark in front of his eyes. He could not see or hear anything. He could only walk forward blindly.

　　This process lasted for an unknown amount of time before a ray of light finally appeared in front of him. Taking two quick steps, Zhou Yun finally walked out of this dark and empty world.

　　Bang!

　　The moment he truly stepped out of that void, Zhou Yun clearly heard a slight sound beside his ear, but then, Zhou Yun was shocked by the scene before him.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun was standing on a stone platform. In front of him was a huge circular space that was sunken like a martial arts arena. There were no stands or seats in the circular space, but stone stairs that extended straight downwards.

　　The circular space is sunken down to a depth of 100 meters, which looks extremely spectacular. On the platform at the bottom of the central sunken position, there are four small towers more than 10 meters high, and it is unknown what their purpose is. On the sunken slope, small platforms covering an area of ​​100 meters have been carved out, and exquisite small buildings are built on these small platforms.

　　There is a flying flagpole on the top of each of these small buildings, with names written on it in square characters. Just now, the students who walked in before Zhou Yun were dispersed and walking towards the small buildings below.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun saw this scene, he understood that this area should be the so-called living area of ​​the Shenwei Training Camp. The small building built on the slope should be where the trainees live in the living area.

　　After searching for a while, Zhou Yun immediately found a flagpole with his name on it on a small building on a platform.

　　Not in a hurry to go over, Zhou Yun once again expanded his sight, wanting to find the girl in red. With the idea of ​​thanking her in mind, Zhou Yun naturally wanted to find the girl in red, and saw her enter the small building, so that he could go over to thank her in the future.

　　But after looking around, Zhou Yun did not see the girl in red.

　　"Maybe I came in too early and he's already inside." Shaking his head slightly disappointed, Zhou Yun walked down the platform and went up the stairs towards his room.

　　Zhou Yun’s room was not far from the entrance. It only took him ten minutes to arrive in front of his own building.

　　It was not until he got closer that Zhou Yun realized that the small building, which did not look very big from a distance, looked extremely luxurious up close. This small building had three floors, and was built in a magnificent and exquisite manner. The level of exquisiteness could even be compared with the Tianxiang Pavilion in the capital, except that the height and area of ​​this small building were not as good as those of the Tianxiang Pavilion.

　　"This Shenwei training camp is really luxurious." Shaking his head silently, Zhou Yun muttered and walked towards the front of the small building.

　　"What are you talking about?" As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, a light voice was immediately heard. Then, a red figure jumped, and a beautiful girl appeared in front of him. It was Li Xiaoxiao that Zhou Yun wanted to find just now.

　　"It's you!" Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw the other person.

　　Although there was a small conflict between the two when they first met, Zhou Yun knew that the woman in red was actually a good girl with a good heart. Otherwise, she would not have asked her men to rescue him in Xiqing Town and gave him such a precious pill.

　　"What? Are you unhappy to see me? You ungrateful bastard, last time I saved you with good intentions, but you ran away without even leaving your name. Tell me, should you be punished?" Naturally, she noticed the joy in Zhou Yun's eyes when he saw her, and she felt a little happy in her heart, but Princess Yuling still put on a willful look, approached Zhou Yun, and accused him loudly.

　　Looking at the beautiful face of the girl in front of him and smelling the sweet scent of the girl emanating from her body, Zhou Yun's face flushed again.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao would often hug each other intimately, and Zhou Yun was not completely unfamiliar with the slightly fragrant scent of girls. But for some reason, Zhou Yun felt that Lin Junyao was unique, and any intimate behavior with Lin Junyao was taken for granted.

　　Except for Lin Junyao, Zhou Yun would instinctively feel embarrassed when other girls approached him.

　　"No." Zhou Yun dodged a little and stepped back, explaining aloud.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's face turn red again, Princess Yuling's smile became even more intense. At this moment, she felt more and more that Zhou Yun was actually a very simple person.

　　"Okay, I get it. Come in quickly. I made time to come here and teach you some things. I have to go to Sister Wanqiu's place for dinner later." A hint of anger appeared on her pretty face. Princess Yuling took Zhou Yun's hand, turned around and ran towards the main door of the small building.

　　When Princess Yuling pulled him, Zhou Yun immediately felt a soft and smooth touch, and he couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed. But Zhou Yun had consumed too much energy in the previous battle, and now he felt weak all over. He didn't dodge, but was directly pulled in by Princess Yuling.

　　As soon as you enter the small building, you will see a spacious hall with windows on both sides. There are no other rooms. Through the windows on both sides and the door in front, you can clearly see the surrounding scenery. Although it is all monotonous stone, it looks unique.

　　There is a staircase on the right back of the hall, leading to the second floor. Without staying on the first floor for long, Princess Yuling directly pulled Zhou Yun towards the stairs, "The first floor is a hall, which is where we stay the least. In the Shenwei Training Camp, few people visit each other. Even if they really want to discuss something, they will take people to the study on the second floor, so there is nothing to learn about here."

　　After saying this, Princess Yuling pulled Zhou Yun up the stairs and arrived at the second floor of the small building.

　　Suddenly, as if she suddenly remembered something, Li Xiaoxiao turned around, looked at Zhou Yun seriously, and said, "If it were you, maybe someone would really come to visit you. The potential you showed today is very strong, and you are from the Lin family, so the power behind you is not small. You have offended the prince today, so it is unlikely that you can enter the prince's camp. In this case, the third prince and the eighth prince should come to win you over."

　　His hand was still held by Princess Yuling, but as the two of them held hands for a long time, Zhou Yun had gotten used to it unconsciously.

　　After hearing what Princess Yuling said, Zhou Yun's expression became more serious. "I don't really want to get involved in these things. I just want to work hard on my cultivation and make a career. Besides, it's not up to me to decide who to support. I'm a member of the Lin family now. If no one in the Lin family supports me, I will still maintain this attitude." He was still thinking about marrying Lin Junyao, and now he represented more than just himself. It can be said that only the Lin family can decide which prince to support. If they decide to continue to be the Xiaoyao Sect, then Zhou Yun can only follow them and not support anyone.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, Princess Yuling burst out laughing. She still held Zhou Yun with her right hand, but reached out with her left hand and patted Zhou Yun on the arm as a punishment. "You are stupid. If you want to make a career, how could you not invest in a prince? The Lin family will definitely choose a prince to follow in the future, but they think now is not the right time."

　　Zhou Yun once again showed a trace of embarrassment on his face when Princess Yuling smiled. In fact, if he thought about it carefully, Princess Yuling was right. As a powerful person in the capital, who could be truly impartial in this battle for the throne? If there was any conflict in the future, such a person would probably be the first to fall.

　　After laughing at Zhou Yun, Princess Yuling's expression became serious again. She said to Zhou Yun, "Zhou Yun, I'm afraid that the Third Prince and the Eighth Prince's people will come to see you in the next few days. If possible, I suggest you build a good relationship with the Eighth Prince's people."

　　Chapter 111 My name is Li Xiaoxiao

　　"Why?" After hearing what Princess Yuling said, Zhou Yun was also a little confused. Princess Yuling was obviously a very simple girl at first glance, and Zhou Yun never expected that she would care about these issues.

　　Blinking at Zhou Yun mischievously, Princess Yuling said, "No reason, I have a good relationship with the Eighth Prince. He and Sister Wanqiu are both children of the Imperial Concubine. The three of us have been close since childhood. Of course I hope you support him."

　　So that's how it is.

　　Zhou Yun couldn't help but sweat on his forehead and shook his head helplessly. If he couldn't remain neutral in the future battle for the throne, then choosing which prince to support would be a very important matter for both the Lin family and Zhou Yun himself. How could such a thing be treated so lightly?

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's aggrieved expression, not knowing what to say, Princess Yuling immediately burst out laughing.

　　"Okay, look how scared you are, it's not that exaggerated." Raising her hand and hitting Zhou Yun again, Princess Yuling said in a scolding voice, "But to be honest, the Eighth Prince is very humble, has good cultivation, and is very smart. He is not as overbearing as the Crown Prince, nor as scheming as the Third Prince. If he becomes the emperor in the future, he will definitely be a benevolent monarch. You have performed so well, and you will definitely be summoned by him in the future. You will understand it yourself when you see it."

　　"Okay, I understand." Zhou Yun nodded and didn't bring up the topic anymore.

　　After this little episode, Princess Yuling once again took Zhou Yun to familiarize herself with the entire small building, including the study on the second floor, the dining room, the bedroom on the third floor, and the training room in the basement. Princess Yuling took Zhou Yun to completely familiarize themselves with all the rooms and some basic functions.

　　When the two came out of the basement of the small building, Zhou Yun was already completely familiar with all the functions of the entire residence.

　　Princess Yuling did not let go of Zhou Yun's hand until she was familiar with all the facilities in the room.

　　Princess Yuling clapped her jade-like hands gently and said, "Okay, next you should go to the study to look at some of the rules in the training camp. In fact, it's nothing serious. When there is a major event, each student will be notified by letter, and generally they will not miss it. In addition, I see that you don't look very well. Didn't you just kill the kid from the Shen'ao Marquis's family? Shen'ao Marquis is a mysterious official of the court, specializing in refining various elixirs. There must be a lot of elixirs in his space ring. You can just take out two."

　　"Okay, I understand. Thank you." After hearing what Princess Yuling said, a hint of joy immediately flashed across Zhou Yun's face. Although Zhou Yun did not know which one of the five people he killed was the son of Marquis Shen'ao, Zhou Yun was not concerned about these.

　　Shen'ao Hou, just hearing the name, one can guess that this marquis should be good at refining medicine, but Zhou Yun does not pay much attention to those ready-made pills. What he values ​​more is the pill formula that may exist in the space ring.

　　If there is a pill recipe and it is given to Li Yi to run, I believe the amount of money that can be obtained will be huge.

　　"No need to thank me. This matter is not over yet. I didn't expect that your cultivation is so high. Next time you go out for adventure, remember to come with me and Sister Wanqiu. Sister Wanqiu will definitely get first place. She is too busy to protect me, so my safety depends on you." With a relaxed smile at Zhou Yun, Princess Yuling turned around and prepared to leave.

　　As soon as Princess Yuling finished speaking, Zhou Yun's expression froze. In fact, since hearing Yan Yin say that the first place winner of this Shenwei training camp might get a full set of Wanxiang Benlei Fist, Zhou Yun had already had the idea of ​​striving for the first place, but it seemed that the current princess Li Wanqiu also wanted to strive for the first place, so in this case, future conflicts were somewhat inevitable.

　　"Huh? What's wrong with you? You don't want to tell me, you also want to get first place, right?" Seeing that Zhou Yun didn't reply, Princess Yuling immediately turned around, saw Zhou Yun with a slightly hesitant expression, and asked immediately.

　　Facing Princess Yuling's question, Zhou Yun didn't want to hide it, so he nodded and admitted, "Yes, I do want to take first place, and the Myriad Thunder Fist is very important to me."

　　Originally Zhou Yun thought that Princess Yuling would be angry after he said this, but unexpectedly, after hearing his words, a smile appeared on Princess Yuling's little face.

　　"It's okay. If you want to get first place, just work hard. Sister Wanqiu is the best person. If your cultivation is really better than hers, she won't be jealous of you. However, if you want to strive for first place, you must be careful of Li Fengyun, the one who attacked you today. If it weren't for Sister Wanqiu helping you, you would have died after releasing that Wanxiang Thunder Prison." Looking at Zhou Yun, Princess Yuling reminded him.

　　Faced with Princess Yuling's words, Zhou Yun didn't know how to respond. In fact, Zhou Yun was still wondering in his heart. After he released the Wanxiang Thunder Prison, Li Fengyun in the distance had the opportunity to kill him, but he didn't do it. Zhou Yun was still wondering why. Now it seems that it was the fairy-like Third Princess who saved him.

　　This was another huge favor that Zhou Yun had to repay.

　　"I understand." Zhou Yun nodded and spoke silently.

　　All that needed to be said had been said. Princess Yuling also felt a little hungry. She waved her hand at Zhou Yun and said, "Okay Zhou Yun, I really have to go now. You should recover from your injuries as soon as possible. Remember to go to the square below to take the test within three days. The first resource allocation after entering the camp will be determined by the results of this test. Since you want to take first place, you must first strive for a good ranking to get more resources."

　　Seeing the beautiful girl about to leave, Zhou Yun suddenly realized that he hadn't even asked her name yet, so he quickly said, "Wait a minute, you haven't told me your name yet?"

　　She had already run out of the room, but after hearing what Zhou Yun said, Princess Yuling turned around again, with a hint of anger on her pretty face, and said in a delicate voice, "You are so heartless. You didn't know my name and didn't ask earlier. My name is Li Xiaoxiao, the daughter of Prince Jin, and my title is Princess Yuling. Remember it, right?"

　　After leaving a few words, Li Xiaoxiao made a face at Zhou Yun and turned and ran away.

　　"Li Xiaoxiao, what a nice name." Looking at the back of the girl in red leaving in the distance, Zhou Yun also showed a smile on his face.

　　Three hours had passed since he left in the morning, and he had also experienced two major battles in between. Now Zhou Yun was very tired, physically exhausted, and feeling hungry. Walking to the door, Zhou Yun gently rang the bell.

　　In less than ten seconds, a flame army soldier covered in red armor appeared in front of Zhou Yun.

　　"Excuse me, what do you need?" The soldier asked after respectfully bowing to Zhou Yun.

　　"Please bring me some food, thank you." Zhou Yun said while politely bowing to the soldier.

　　"I'll send it directly to your study later." The soldier nodded to Zhou Yun and responded concisely, then quickly disappeared from Zhou Yun's sight.

　　Watching the Flame Army soldier's back as he left quickly, Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh, "This Shenwei Training Camp is really strong. A soldier in charge of service can actually do blood exchange. It seems that I still have a long way to go."

　　Silently resolute in his mind, Zhou Yun turned and walked towards the study room on the second floor of the small building. Now, in addition to solving the stomach problem, the remaining thing is to familiarize himself with the process of the Shenwei training camp as soon as possible. Especially the initial test of cultivation to be carried out within three days, which is very important to Zhou Yun.

　　Although Zhou Yun also knew that he must strive for a higher ranking during the test, he was eager to understand what the test items were and what resources he would get if he ranked high.

　　In the Shenwei Training Camp, all the students who survived in the square have begun to study in the Shenwei Training Camp. Zhou Yun also began to browse the various regulations of the Shenwei Training Camp while eating.

　　At this time, the Lin family mansion in the capital was a completely different scene. In the study, Lin Juntian sat quietly, browsing a letter he had just opened. Although his expression was very calm, Lin Juntian's heart was in turmoil. However, because Lin Junyao was right across from him, he tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart.

　　Although the Shenwei Training Camp is completely closed and even the royal family cannot place people in the training camp, news from the training camp can be continuously conveyed. The purpose of establishing the Shenwei Training Camp is to allow some young people with bright prospects to concentrate on training and improving their skills without any interference before they actually start serving the country.

　　Therefore, although these students are completely isolated from the outside world, the outside world can get real-time information about the situation in the training camp.

　　The Shenwei training camp had just opened, and the shocking scene on the Jieying Square had been made into letters, which spread like snowflakes among the nobles in the entire capital, causing an uproar!

　　"Brother, how is it? Did Zhou Yun enter the camp safely?" Across from Lin Juntian's desk, Lin Junyao looked at her brother expectantly and asked.

　　For the entire afternoon, Lin Junyao stayed in Lin Juntian's study, waiting for news from the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　Finally, Lin Juntian closed the letter in his hand, with a relaxed expression on his face, and said to Lin Junyao, "Zhou Yun has entered the camp safely, and it seems that he has a good relationship with Princess Yuling. Princess Yuling saved his life when he was in Xiqing Town. This time the two met in the Shenwei training camp, and Zhou Yun should also get her care."

　　After hearing her brother's words, Lin Junyao's face immediately showed a happy expression, "Great, I knew Zhou Yun would be fine, and with Xiaoxiao helping him, he will definitely be able to come out of the Shenwei training camp safely!"

　　"Okay, brother, I'm going to tell Sister Zhou Xue the news. Thank you, brother." Waving happily at Lin Juntian, Lin Junyao flew out of Lin Juntian's study like a happy little bird.

　　Although Lin Junyao left, Lan Cang, who came with her, did not leave. Lin Junyao was simple-minded, but Lan Cang had seen many storms. Although Lin Juntian looked calm just now, there was a hint of stiffness in that calmness, which was not natural. He was obviously suppressing some emotions, so Lan Cang was not in a hurry to leave, because he also wanted to know Zhou Yun's true situation.

　　"Prince, is Zhou Yun in danger in there?" Seeing that Lin Junyao had already left, Lan Cang immediately asked Lin Juntian.

　　His face had become very gloomy. Lin Juntian smiled sarcastically and handed the letter in his hand to Lan Cang, "Danger? I think this kid himself is the danger!"

　　Seeing Lin Juntian's expression change, Lan Cang's expression suddenly became solemn. After taking the letter, Lan Cang looked at the contents and his face was suddenly filled with shock!

　　"Oh my God, how is this possible!"

　　Chapter 112: Duke of Pingnan - Lin Hailong

　　After just one glance, Lan Cang was immediately shocked by the contents of the letter and almost jumped up.

　　In the reception square before the Shenwei training camp, Zhou Yun actually killed five noble sons in a row, and even fought with the Yingwu County King from a distance! It can be said that Zhou Yun's action has offended the prince's faction, which is the most powerful in the current dynasty, and there is absolutely no room for redemption!

　　Given the prince's arrogance and overbearing behavior, it is almost imaginable what kind of revenge Zhou Yun will suffer in the future. More importantly, since everyone knows that Zhou Yun is from the Lin family, this matter may even affect the Lin family!

　　"Han Shuo, the prince of Julu County; Liu Yuan, the prince of Shen'ao Marquis; Wang Tianze, the prince of Xichuan Marquis; Ren Changkong, the prince of Tianying Marquis; and Tian Yue, the second son of Donghai Marquis. Zhou Yun was really daring. No matter whether he can survive or not, this incident alone is enough for him to go down in history." After the initial shock and anger, Lin Juntian calmed down and spoke softly with a hint of mockery.

　　Although he said this, Lin Juntian actually still had some respect for Zhou Yun in his heart. The cultivation of these five noble sons was very powerful. Even though they were of noble status, ordinary people did not dare to kill them. But if they really wanted to set up a formation to kill these people, with the cultivation of these noble sons, not everyone could kill them.

　　Moreover, these noble sons also received help from Yingwu Prince Li Fengyun when they fought against Zhou Yun. Lin Juntian knew the cultivation of Yingwu Prince. He had an outstanding talent since childhood, and with the overwhelming power of Prince Weiyuan, Li Fengyun received the best training since childhood. After turning sixteen, he also received three Guanghua Sect secret books granted by the emperor. He could be said to be a child of destiny, but even such a child of destiny did not gain an advantage when fighting against Zhou Yun!

　　Three months ago, Zhou Yun was still an extremely weak and low-ranking martial arts candidate who could be bullied at will. However, in just three months, Zhou Yun's cultivation had become so strong!

　　"Agreeing that Jun Yao and Zhou Yun are together is equivalent to accepting Zhou Yun into the Lin family. I really don't know whether this move is right or wrong." With a long sigh, Lin Juntian raised his head and felt a little confused and tired for a moment.

　　After Lin Hailong, the old patriarch of the Lin family, retired from the navy, he had been in seclusion for five years and had never come out once. Once Lin Hailong went into seclusion, the Lin family had no one in charge. Under such circumstances, Lin Juntian had to give up the idea of ​​joining the army and stayed in the capital to become a civil servant.

　　Although the Lin family was powerful, they were still walking on thin ice in the capital. Lin Juntian always thought twice before making a decision, and he was always worried. Now, the incident caused by Zhou Yun made him feel that he could no longer control himself.

　　The descendants of five noble families were killed, offending the Prince of Yingwu and the Crown Prince. Such a matter could not be solved by tens of thousands of shi of military rations. Even if Lin Juntian exchanged his hard-earned official position for it, there was no possibility of settling it.

　　"Prince, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" With a hint of caution, Lan Cang asked Lin Juntian in a low voice.

　　Five noble sons were killed, four of whom were crown princes. This was the first major event since the founding of the Tianyuan Dynasty. Even in the history of the entire Middle-earth continent, such incidents of insubordination and killing of the powerful and wealthy had only happened a few times.

　　Now the whole Shangjing City knows that Zhou Yun is a member of the Lin family. When something like this happens, the Lin family must show an attitude!

　　Either they support Zhou Yun and fight against the prince's forces, or they simply cut off contact with Zhou Yun and side with the prince directly, allowing the prince's people to hunt down Zhou Yun, or they can ask someone with more power to mediate. In any case, the Lin family must do something.

　　Rubbing his brows, Lin Juntian sighed and finally stood up. "Old Lan, please go back. This matter is too big. I can't make a decision. I'm going to meet my father."

　　Lan Cang was shocked, and a hint of excitement was clearly revealed on his face, "Prince, are you going to meet the old patriarch!?"

　　The old patriarch of the Lin family, Duke Pingnan Lin Hailong, has been in seclusion for five years. Lan Cang had always been Lin Hailong's personal guard and had followed Lin Hailong for decades. After not seeing each other for five years, Lan Cang missed his master very much. Hearing Lin Juntian's words, Lan Cang was naturally excited.

　　Nodding silently, Lin Juntian waved his hand and said, "Well, this matter concerns the fortune of my Lin family, and I can't make the decision. Elder Lan, don't worry, I will convey your thoughts to my father."

　　Seeing that Lin Juntian understood his feelings, Lan Cang showed a trace of gratitude on his face, "Thank you, Prince. I'll take my leave now." Bowing repeatedly to Lin Juntian, Lan Cang turned around and retreated.

　　Lan Cang had already left. Lin Juntian, who looked extremely tired, had been sitting in the study for more than an hour, and only stood up when it was getting dark. He did not leave the mansion and head to the main courtyard of the Lin family. Lin Juntian went directly to the back of the study, and secretly moved somewhere behind the screen. Suddenly, a deep secret door opened on the ground.

　　Carefully walking into the secret door, Lin Juntian turned a mechanism again, and the secret door immediately merged together and returned to its previous appearance.

　　Lin Juntian walked straight down along the deep dark passage for more than ten minutes before he arrived at an empty underground hall.

　　This hall was extremely grand, with a space of 100 square meters. In the center of the hall, a blue-gray stone platform stood quietly. But strangely, there was no one on the stone platform used for practitioners to meditate and practice.

　　Seeing the empty stone platform, Lin Juntian was not surprised, but a look of joy appeared on his face. He took two quick steps and looked towards the center of the stone platform.

　　Sure enough, in the center of the stone platform, a blue vortex was slowly turning, appearing extremely mysterious, like a gate leading to another world.

　　Taking a deep breath, Lin Juntian calmed his mind and stepped on the blue vortex with both feet at the same time. Then, the vortex burst into a dazzling blue light. When the blue light returned to calm, Lin Juntian, who was still in the hall, had disappeared.

　　After being sucked into the blue vortex, Lin Juntian immediately felt that he had stepped into a dark and void space, floating downward in the chaotic darkness.

　　After drifting for more than thirty seconds, suddenly, a violent sound of water like waves crashing against the shore came into Lin Juntian's ears. Hearing this sound, Lin Juntian immediately opened his eyes!

　　Suddenly, a complete world came into Lin Juntian's sight. At this moment, Lin Juntian was falling rapidly from mid-air, and below him was a vast and boundless ocean. The deep blue sea was surging wildly, with a deafening momentum and extremely powerful!

　　When Lin Juntian fell to a distance of thirty meters from the sea surface, a white light suddenly shot out from the sea water. Suddenly, Lin Juntian felt his whole body shake, and he was immediately lifted up and stayed in mid-air.

　　Being caught by this force, Lin Juntian calmed down a little, and the expression on his face immediately became respectful. With his fists clenched, Lin Juntian bowed and spoke loudly to the sea below.

　　"Father, I have something important to ask you!"

　　The clear sound rang out above the sea, mixed with the sound of the waves crashing, and echoed for a long time.

　　After saying this, Lin Juntian remained in a waiting position with his body lowered, without making any further movements.

　　About a cup of tea later, the already extremely turbulent sea surface suddenly became even more powerful, and the huge waves had risen to a height of nearly fifteen meters, as if they could swallow everything!

　　Amidst the waves, a blue vortex with a diameter of thirty meters gradually emerged from the deep sea, and then a huge beast claw poked out from the vortex. The claw alone was seven or eight meters long. When Lin Juntian saw this huge claw, his eyes immediately lit up.

　　The next moment, the giant beast hidden beneath the sea finally emerged from the bottom of the sea, roaring loudly!

　　This giant beast is more than 70 meters long, covered with blue and white scales all over, with four strong claws and a thick tail, like a dragon. However, the head of the beast is between a snake head and a dragon head. The two dragon horns have already taken shape, but the shape of the entire head is still relatively flat, which looks a bit weird.

　　But even so, the pressure that the giant beast brought to Lin Juntian was indescribable.

　　But these things were not what Lin Juntian was concerned about. At this moment, Lin Juntian's attention was all focused on the old man with a long beard sitting on the back of the coiled giant beast!

　　The old man was about fifty years old. Although his hair and beard had turned white, his skin was still plump and ruddy without a single wrinkle. He had a majestic figure. Although he was just sitting cross-legged on the giant beast, the sense of majesty still emanated from him!

　　Seeing the old man, Lin Juntian immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, father."

　　After Lin Juntian's words came out, the old man's eyes, which had been tightly closed, finally slowly opened. Upon closer inspection, the old man's pupils were actually sea blue, which made him look extremely mysterious! But even though he had a completely different eye color from that of ordinary people, the old man gave people an extremely comfortable feeling, and it didn't feel abrupt at all.

　　This old man with a pair of blue eyes is the father of Lin Juntian and Lin Junyao, Duke of Pingnan, Lin Hailong!

　　When he opened his eyes, the old man immediately saw Lin Juntian standing opposite him, less than 20 meters away. A gentle smile like melting spring snow appeared on his resolute face. The old man said slowly, "Xiaotian, we haven't seen each other for five years. You have grown up and become more mature. It seems that you have grown a lot in these five years."

　　After five years, he heard his father's voice again. Even a strong man like Lin Juntian couldn't help wanting to cry for a moment. But he still tried hard to hold back the urge to cry and raised his head instead.

　　"I dare not forget my father's instructions. I have been taking good care of all the affairs in the mansion. But today, a big event happened in the capital, which is related to my Lin family. I dare not make a decision on my own, so I come to ask my father for the final decision." After stabilizing his emotions, Lin Juntian took out the letter from his arms and spoke slowly.

　　"Hmm." Lin Hailong made a slight "hmm" sound in his nose, and just raised his hand slightly, and the letter quickly floated in front of Lin Hailong.

　　After taking the letter, Lin Hailong read it carefully line by line. It took a long time for Lin Hailong to finish reading the contents of the letter.

　　After reading all the content, Lin Hailong raised his head, looked at Lin Juntian calmly with his sea-blue eyes, and asked slowly.

　　"Xiaotian, why did you take Zhou Yun into your mansion?"

　　Thanks to BMSOh and cdd88193055 for being my VIPs, stamping and sending me tickets. I also want to thank cc0792 for sending me flowers every day for so long. I've added another chapter. Thank you all very much.

　　Today's four updates of 14,000 words are all completed, and the excitement will continue tomorrow!

　　Chapter 113 Cold Treatment

　　The letter gave a detailed account of the battle between Zhou Yun and the five noble sons at the reception square of the Shenwei training camp. It also pointed out that Li Fengyun attacked Zhou Yun, the third princess saved Zhou Yun's life at a critical moment, and Zhou Yun's good relationship with Princess Yuling.

　　But Zhou Yun's identity was only mentioned once, indicating that Zhou Yun was a member of the Lin family.

　　In fact, he had known that his father would ask such a question, and Lin Juntian immediately showed a hesitant look on his face. Although he was born in a duke's family, his father's education of his two children was completely different.

　　For Lin Juntian, all education was extremely strict. Martial arts training, tempering of the mind, ways of dealing with the world, and power struggles, Lin Hailong taught all these to Lin Juntian.

　　But Lin Hailong doted on Lin Junyao. Although all the noble men in the capital practiced martial arts, and there were also many women who learned martial arts, and there were also many people with high cultivation, his fiancée Fang Xueyin was one of the best. But Lin Hailong never let Lin Junyao learn martial arts, but taught her poetry, etiquette, vocal music and piano skills, and did not let her touch anything on the dark side.

　　Lin Juntian knew that his father loved Lin Junyao, but when his father was in seclusion, Lin Juntian secretly decided Lin Junyao's lifelong affairs. And now, the chosen person Zhou Yun has caused so much trouble that Lin Juntian didn't know how to start for a moment.

　　Naturally, he saw Lin Juntian's hesitation, but Lin Hailong was not in a hurry. He said nothing and just stared at his son with his blue eyes.

　　Finally, Lin Junyao let go of the pressure in her heart and raised her head, "Father, Zhou Yun is Junyao's sweetheart. I accepted him into the mansion and tacitly agreed to this matter."

　　After saying this, Lin Juntian seemed to be relieved, looking at his father calmly, waiting to bear his wrath. But strangely, Lin Hailong was not angry, but slowly asked, "Jun Yao was born in the capital, but Zhou Yun was born in Tianhe Province, and he is also the descendant of an external servant. How could these two people have any intersection?"

　　Upon hearing this, Lin Juntian immediately felt that there seemed to be a chance for a turnaround, and his father did not directly blame him.

　　So, Lin Juntian hurriedly explained, "Father, five years ago our family was in the South China Sea. At that time, you were anxious to return to the capital to report, and my younger sister and I went to the capital separately and secretly. Because we were not careful, Jun Yao was attacked on the way, and it was Zhou Yun who saved her at that time..."

　　Lin Juntian told Lin Hailong the exact details of the relationship between Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao.

　　The story between Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao is actually quite legendary. After learning about the whole thing, Lin Juntian couldn't help but be moved by their emotions, so he decided to give Zhou Yun some time.

　　Otherwise, Zhou Yun wouldn't even have the chance to get close to Lin Junyao.

　　It took Lin Juntian a quarter of an hour to tell the whole story of Jun Yao and Zhou Yun.

　　After hearing the whole story, Lin Hailong smiled. "Xiaotian, you did the right thing. Jun Yao has been a simple and kind girl since she was a child. She is very considerate and grateful. Since Zhou Yun saved her at that time, there is nothing wrong with them getting along with each other later. Moreover, Zhou Yun has a strong character, does things neither servile nor overbearing, and is polite and decent. If you can support him a little, he may achieve something in the future. At least, he will not humiliate Jun Yao."

　　"Father, do you support them being together?" After hearing his father's words, Lin Juntian's face immediately showed a look of surprise.

　　Although Zhou Yun caused a lot of trouble this time, Lin Juntian still admired the strength and courage he showed in this matter.

　　After all, they were five noble sons. Many people would not dare to kill such a group of people even if they could. But Zhou Yun dared to do such a shocking thing. This courage was enough to be praised.

　　With a gentle smile on his face, Lin Hailong said, "As long as Jun Yao feels happy, I will support you."

　　After understanding Lin Hailong's attitude, Lin Juntian finally felt relieved. But this was not enough. Lin Hailong's support for Zhou Yun did not mean that Zhou Yun would be safe and sound, nor did it mean that the Lin family would be safe and sound. The things Zhou Yun had caused had to be resolved.

　　"My dear father, how do you think we should solve this problem? Five noble sons have died, and four of them are princes. This matter absolutely cannot be suppressed. Our Lin family must have an attitude, right?" Lin Juntian asked with a worried expression on his face.

　　Still full of gentleness and tranquility, Lin Hailong smiled and said, "Xiaotian, we don't need to have any attitude on this matter. Our Lin family's prestige is still there, and no one dares to challenge it casually. If someone makes trouble for you, just tell them that I will be out of seclusion in half a year, and then, the Lin family will naturally give them an explanation about this matter."

　　"Half a year later, if Zhou Yun really has the potential and ranks among the top three in the Shenwei training camp, no one will dare to say a word against him even if he kills a lot of noble children. By then, what else do we need to explain? Of course, if he dies in there, we don't need to explain anything."

　　After hearing what Lin Hailong said, Lin Juntian immediately understood what his father meant.

　　His original thought was that with such a big thing happening, the Lin family must make some statement in order to get through this hurdle, but now it seems that the Lin family does not actually need to make any statement.

　　If Zhou Yun really showed his potential and got into the top three of the Shenwei training camp, then Zhou Yun would have no need to explain anything given his status as a rising star of the dynasty. The reason why Zhou Yun caused an uproar by killing these noble children was actually because of the unequal power. If the power was equal, there would be no problem.

　　But if Zhou Yun could not reach that level, or even be killed in the Shenwei training camp, then there was no need to pay more attention to this matter. Zhou Yun was responsible for his own actions, and once he died, the matter was over. With the power of the Lin family, no one dared to force the Lin family to pay a price in such a situation.

　　But in this case, the Lin family will become a complete spectator in this matter, and the final result will still depend on Zhou Yun’s own performance.

　　"Father, do we really not need to give Zhou Yun some help? What if something happens to him, Jun Yao..." Looking at Lin Hailong hesitantly, Lin Juntian spoke slowly.

　　"What can you do for him if you help him now? Can you reach out to the Shenwei training camp?" Shaking his head, Lin Hailong spoke calmly.

　　"I..." As soon as Lin Hailong said this, Lin Juntian immediately couldn't find a reason to refute.

　　Yes, even if he wanted to help Zhou Yun now, what could he do to help Zhou Yun? Taking responsibility outside would not play a substantial role for Zhou Yun in the Shenwei training camp. How this matter would eventually develop would still depend on Zhou Yun's own performance.

　　Finally, after figuring out all these things, Lin Juntian showed a relaxed expression on his face, and a big stone in his heart was put down. "I understand, father, I will definitely handle this matter."

　　Seeing that Lin Juntian had figured things out, Lin Hailong's expression returned to silence again, "Okay, you can go out now. My retreat has reached the most critical moment. I will come out in half a year."

　　When he came in, Lin Juntian noticed the giant beast under his father. Now, the giant beast has shown signs of transforming into a dragon, with only its head still maintaining the form of a dragon snake. It seems that it is not far from transforming into a complete dragon.

　　By the time my father comes out of seclusion, he will definitely have a complete form of the world beast. By that time, who will be able to shake the Lin family?

　　Thinking of this, Lin Juntian's expression immediately relaxed. He bowed to Lin Hailong and said, "I'll take my leave."

　　Nodding silently, Lin Hailong waved his hand gently, and Lin Juntian was immediately lifted up by a huge force, and jumped straight up nearly 500 meters. Lin Juntian just fell into chaos and darkness again. After a moment, he felt his whole body lighten, and Lin Juntian had appeared in the basement of the Lin family.

　　Looking at the blue vortex that was still slowly turning in front of him, Lin Juntian finally showed a relaxed smile on his face.

　　"Zhou Yun, you are lucky." With a whisper, Lin Juntian turned and left the basement.

　　After one request for an audience, Lin Juntian had already determined what he would do in the face of the current chaos. At this time, in the imperial palace of the Tianyuan Dynasty in Shangjing City, in the Chaoyang Palace on the east side of the Qianyuan Palace, the atmosphere was terribly depressing.

　　In the study room of Chaoyang Palace, the atmosphere was extremely depressing at the moment. A young man with a detached and handsome face was sitting in the main seat. Although this young man had a handsome appearance, his eyebrows and eyes carried a sense of dominance and cruelty, which made people feel terrified at a glance.

　　This person is none other than the current crown prince of the Tianyuan Dynasty, Li Xian!

　　Today, the battle at the Shenwei Training Camp's reception square has made the Lord of Chaoyang Palace lose face!

　　"Find a way to notify Li Fengyun and ask him to eliminate Zhou Yun in the Shenwei Training Camp at all costs!" With a sinister look on his face, Li Xian clenched his fists and spoke harshly.

　　This time at the Shenwei Training Camp, he relied on his power and sent twelve noble sons who had surrendered to him into the camp. Originally, Li Xian expected that these noble sons could graduate from the Shenwei Training Camp and then be assigned to various military camps to further enhance his power.

　　But he didn't expect that five people would die at Zhou Yun's hands as soon as the Shenwei training camp started. Not only did it waste a lot of his resources, but it also severely damaged his reputation.

　　If this matter cannot be properly resolved, he may find it difficult to raise his head in the capital in the future.

　　After hearing what Crown Prince Li Xian said, Tang Li below said with some embarrassment, "Your Highness, the Shenwei Training Camp is directly controlled by General Shenwei. The one in charge of the inspection this time is General Yanyin, who is the emperor's personal guard. We can't plant an insider in the Chiyan Army at all, and we really can't send any information in."

　　Standing in front of Li Xian, Tang Li was also a little worried. In fact, this incident was ultimately caused by him. If it weren't for the conflict between him and Zhou Yun at the gate of Shangjing, perhaps so many troubles would not have arisen.

　　But fortunately, Li Xian’s anger was not directed at him now, which made Tang Li feel a little relieved.

　　With a hint of annoyance on his face, Li Xian suddenly said, "Then wait and see what Li Fengyun is going to do. I have lost so much face, if he doesn't realize that he has to help me get it back, then this person is useless!"

　　After leaving a few words, Li Xian snorted coldly and turned away.

　　Chapter 114: Good things, but also bad things

　　In the capital city, various forces became active because of Zhou Yun's behavior in the reception square of the Shenwei Training Camp. However, at this time, Zhou Yun, who had caused such a huge mess, was completely unaware of all this. Instead, he ate delicious meals while reading the various rules and regulations of the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　As the world's number one military talent training base, the Shenwei Training Camp has extremely high standards, including food. After releasing the Wanxiang Thunder Prison just now, Zhou Yun's body has been soft and he can't muster any strength, but after eating the food brought by the red armored soldier, Zhou Yun found that the strength in his body was replenishing rapidly. This discovery made Zhou Yun extremely surprised.

　　"This initial test only has two items, one is the cultivation level, the other is the actual combat ability. The actual combat ability accounts for 60% of the total score." Looking at the training manual in front of him, Zhou Yun recited silently.

　　When they parted just now, Li Xiaoxiao reminded him again and again that he must take part in the first assessment after entering the Shenwei Training Camp within three days. It seems that these are the items of this assessment.

　　However, there was not much more in the entire training manual. It only introduced in detail the various regulations of the Shenwei Training Camp. The basic meaning was similar to what General Yan Yin said when he led the students into the camp.

　　However, Zhou Yun wanted to know the key questions such as the assessment items in the several stages of the Shenwei training camp and the allocated resources, but he didn't get any of them.

　　"It seems that these things will only be announced after the subsequent assessment actually begins." Zhou Yun shook his head in disappointment when he did not get the information he wanted and closed the training manual in his hand.

　　Having finished reading the training manual and having dinner, Zhou Yun stood up and began to think about his first cultivation test.

　　There are two assessment items in total, one of which is the determination of cultivation level. Zhou Yun does not have any advantage in this aspect, as his current cultivation level is only at the middle stage of tendon training, which cannot be changed.

　　After a brief experience in the afternoon, Zhou Yun knew that the top 30 students on the square were basically at the peak of tendon training. In terms of the level of cultivation, Zhou Yun had already suffered a great loss.

　　If you want to improve your overall score, you can only perform better in the actual assessment.

　　“Although I don’t know what resources I can get if I rank high, but looking at the competition among people, I’m afraid that if I rank at the top of the Emperor Elite List, I will get a lot of benefits.” Zhou Yun thought silently, recalling Li Xiaoxiao’s words.

　　According to Li Xiaoxiao, even a royal princess like Li Wanqiu pays great attention to her ranking on the Emperor's Elite List, which means that if you rank high on this list, you will definitely get a lot of benefits. Moreover, these benefits are definitely not ordinary benefits.

　　As a princess of the royal family, if Li Wanqiu wanted to obtain resources, wouldn't she have everything she wanted easily? Why did she still have to enter the Shenwei training camp, and still be obsessed with striving for a higher ranking?

　　There is only one reason that can explain this. There must be many precious things in this Shenwei training camp that even she, a royal princess, cannot easily obtain.

　　If this is the case, what reason does Zhou Yun have not to fight for these resources?

　　Moreover, in the current situation, Zhou Yun must also strive for a higher ranking. Zhou Yun is not a fool. After causing such a big disaster, Zhou Yun has to be high-profile. If he cannot show his strong power now and make other students in the Shenwei training camp dare not make any changes, then he will definitely face troubles in the future.

　　"For now, I still have to recover my body first." Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately became worried about his physical condition. Although Zhou Yun had recovered a lot after eating the things sent by the red-armored soldier, Zhou Yun knew in his heart that his combat effectiveness was not as good as when his body was in the best condition.

　　brush!

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun transformed his right hand into a hand knife and swung it violently. Although he still brought out a strong sword energy, the true power in his body was not thrown out.

　　This was almost unimaginable in the past. Before, with just one attack from Zhou Yun, the true energy in his body could be thrown out over a distance of three or four meters. If he used all his strength, it could even reach over eight meters. But now, the true energy in Zhou Yun's body did not overflow at all. This showed how much the battle in the square had consumed him.

　　"No time to waste." Seeing that his powerful swing did not bring out a single bit of true power, Zhou Yun's face immediately became solemn. Without stopping, Zhou Yun turned around and went downstairs, directly to the secret room in the basement of the small building.

　　After entering the secret room, Zhou Yun didn't even have time to check the weapons and space rings he had just obtained in the battle. He directly took out the mysterious little piece and held it tightly in his palm. His mind drifted a little, and he immediately entered the vast inky world.

　　"how so!"

　　As soon as he entered that inky world and looked at the condition of his body, Zhou Yun immediately cried out in surprise.

　　Originally, after a long period of practice, Zhou Yun's body in the ink-colored object had become extremely real and condensed. But now, although Zhou Yun's body was still intact, he did not have the strength he had before. He looked a little unreal and extremely weak!

　　"Could this be the reason for that battle?" Zhou Yun immediately thought of the scene at the reception square of the Shenwei Training Camp. At that time, Zhou Yun was suppressed by the powerful Shenguan Tianmen and had no power to resist at all.

　　However, at the critical moment, a powerful force suddenly came from the ring finger of his right hand. It was with this force that Zhou Yun broke free from the suppression of the Divine Light Heavenly Gate and released the All-Seeing Thunder Prison that he had not mastered before!

　　Zhou Yun originally guessed that the power that suddenly appeared came from the mysterious piece in the space ring. Now, his idea has finally been confirmed!

　　Looking at his own floating body in the vast inky world, Zhou Yun frowned, not knowing whether he should be happy or sad.

　　Since obtaining this mysterious little piece, Zhou Yun's cultivation has improved extremely rapidly, especially after he condensed his own form in this inky world, the speed of his cultivation improvement has become even faster.

　　But all this was not so easy to obtain. It took Zhou Yun more than a month just to condense a body in this inky world. Later, he continued to practice hard before he condensed the body in this inky world to the previous level.

　　But after this battle, not only was his body extremely weak in the real world, but his body in this ink-colored world also became weak again, and his strength almost regressed to the level it was a month and a half ago. How could Zhou Yun accept this?

　　"However, this mysterious little piece is really magical. If this mysterious little piece has the function of automatically transmitting energy in times of crisis and helping me increase my strength, such a loss is not unacceptable." Although it is not a good thing for the physical strength in the real world and the ink-colored space to decrease at the same time, Zhou Yun still saw the positive side of this matter.

　　If the body in this inky world can really connect with the body and mind in the outside world and transmit power at the critical moment, Zhou Yun's safety will be greatly guaranteed in the future!

　　"There is no other way now. I can only recover as quickly as possible, and recover as much as I can." After only a moment of sadness, Zhou Yun had come out of . Things could no longer be reversed, and now he could only think of ways to remedy the situation as quickly as possible.

　　In the virtual world, Zhou Yun's body had become weak to a certain extent, so he naturally could not continue practicing boxing.

　　With his knees slightly bent, Zhou Yun began to slowly move into the stance according to the essentials of the Wanxiang Lei Zhuang, adjusted his breathing, and began to practice standing stance.

　　During the three days, Zhou Yun had not left the basement, and had not even changed his posture. His body in the basement and in the dark world were slowly recovering with the Universal Thunder Pile. From the beginning when his true power was weak, Zhou Yun's body had obvious lightning arcs appearing now.

　　Although it was a little worse than his peak state, this level of recovery was enough to make Zhou Yun happy.

　　Outside the Shenwei training camp, in the capital city, everything that was originally restless began to slowly calm down.

　　The strategy set by Lin Hailong really worked. During these three days, although there were people coming to the Lin family to ask Lin Juntian for advice, since Lin Hailong was still in seclusion, it was impossible for the heads of the noble families to come in person, and they usually sent descendants of the family.

　　Lin Juntian didn't say anything extra, he just kept apologizing and promised to give everyone an explanation after the old man came out of confinement.

　　Hearing that Lin Hailong would come out of seclusion in half a year to give an explanation to everyone, all the nobles had nothing to say.

　　Although Lin Hailong has been promoted to Duke and retired from the army for five years, the might he had when he swept across the South China Sea still remains in everyone's mind. Although the generals of the Tianyuan Dynasty were all powerful figures, there were still differences in strength among the seven or eight generals. Lin Hailong was definitely the most powerful general at the border back then.

　　This kind of strength is not only reflected in personal cultivation, but also in achievements and connections.

　　Although he has retired for five years, Lin Hailong has been in control of the South China Sea Navy for twenty years and has trained countless young talents. These people still respect Lin Hailong until now!

　　Although the incident Zhou Yun caused at the reception square of the Shenwei Training Camp caused a great shock at the time, three days later, the capital city gradually calmed down.

　　It was impossible for all the nobles to extend their tentacles to the Shenwei Training Camp, and outside, these people had no way to deal with the Lin family. Even the few followers Zhou Yun left in the capital, no one bothered them.

　　Old Man Mu, Zhang Hao and others are truly at the bottom of society. Picking trouble with them will not only fail to vent your anger, but will only lead to greater loss of face.

　　Just like that, an earth-shattering event was quietly downplayed.

　　At this moment, in the Shenwei training camp, after three days of recovery, Zhou Yun's strength has recovered to a large extent. Although it is not as strong as in its peak state, he has recovered 60% of his strength.

　　In the living area, in the underground secret room in the small building where Zhou Yun lived, bursts of lightning were still raging. Although Zhou Yun, who was standing in the middle of the secret room, had already finished his work, it was obvious that the lightning power that had just been stirred up here could not be eliminated in a short time.

　　call!

　　Sensing that the time was almost up, Zhou Yun let out a long sigh and opened his eyes.

　　Chapter 115 Open a door!

　　In that mysterious little piece of land, on the vast inky black land, Zhou Yun took a soft breath, then opened his eyes, and the lightning on his body gradually dissipated.

　　The body has become much more condensed than in the past three days, but there is still a long way to go before it can recover to its previous level.

　　"Today is the last time for the initial test of the Shenwei Training Camp. We must go out." Feeling the strength in his body, Zhou Yun said with some regret.

　　Originally, according to Zhou Yun's recovery speed, he would be able to recover as before in about five days, but now, it is obvious that there are no such conditions.

　　Shaking his head, Zhou Yun gathered his mind and consciousness instantly jumped out of the inky space in the mysterious little piece. After a little rest, Zhou Yun walked out of the basement, ready to eat something, and then participate in the first test of the Shenwei training camp.

　　Just after walking out of the basement, Zhou Yun was immediately frightened by a lion's roar!

　　"Zhou Yun!!!"

　　"Ah?" Zhou Yun's whole body trembled slightly, and he instinctively looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a beautiful girl in red standing at the door, looking at him angrily. It was Princess Yuling, Li Xiaoxiao!

　　In front of Li Xiaoxiao, a soldier from the Flame Army was blocking her way, preventing her from entering Zhou Yun's small building.

　　It seems that this living area is indeed very safe. If the owner is not the one leading the way, it is impossible for others to come in.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun was still in a daze after seeing her, with a thoughtful look on his face, Li Xiaoxiao immediately pouted in grievance and couldn't help but yelling again, "Zhou Yun! You bastard, why don't you let me in!?"

　　After being called out by Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun finally reacted and quickly said to the soldier, "Let her in, and get me some food."

　　"Yes." Responding to Zhou Yun respectfully, the Flame Army soldier immediately turned around and left, disappearing in front of Zhou Yun.

　　Seeing the soldier leave, Li Xiaoxiao immediately walked up to Zhou Yun angrily. Without saying a word, she raised her hand and twisted Zhou Yun's arm. "You bastard, tell me, where have you been for the past three days? The final time for the first test is almost over, and you're just coming out now!"

　　Li Xiaoxiao was twisted so hard that even Zhou Yun felt a pain. However, looking at the angry and aggrieved eyes of the beautiful girl in front of him, Zhou Yun couldn't get angry.

　　"Okay, don't be angry. I lost too much strength in the battle in the square, so I have to go into seclusion to recover. I haven't come out for the past three days, so I don't know the situation outside. I will tell the soldier brother later that if you come to see me in the future, I will let you in directly. Besides, I also remember the time. There are still two hours left. I won't miss it." Zhou Yun spoke gently, enduring the pain in his arm.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao's grievance and anger finally faded a little. In fact, she was so angry because she was worried about Zhou Yun. For some reason, Li Xiaoxiao has quietly started to care about Zhou Yun. In the past few days, because there has been no news from Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao has lost her temper with Li Wanqiu several times.

　　Realizing her concern for Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao was confused and shy, and thought about not coming to see Zhou Yun again. But these days, as the names on the Emperor's Elite List kept changing, Zhou Yun was always at the last place. Li Xiaoxiao's shyness was not as good as her concern for Zhou Yun, and she couldn't help but come several times.

　　Finally releasing Zhou Yun's arm, Li Xiaoxiao asked, "How is your power recovery? What place will you rank this time?"

　　"I have recovered 60% of my peak strength. If I perform better, I should be able to challenge the top ten." On that day in the square, Zhou Yun had released his spiritual sense to sense the cultivation of all the students in the square. Among them, there were four students who practiced internal organ blood exchange, plus Li Wanqiu and Li Fengyun who appeared later, there should be six people. Among them, Han Shuo had died in his hands, and Zhou Yun had also made a comparison in his mind of the other students who were at the peak of tendon training according to their true strength. According to his current skills, it is not a problem to rank in the top ten. After a little thought, Zhou Yun said.

　　"Only 60% recovered? How could it be so little? Didn't you take the elixir in the space ring of the son of Shen'ao Hou? Didn't I tell you? There must be a lot of elixirs in his space ring." As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao immediately raised her eyebrows and questioned.

　　With an embarrassed look on his face, Zhou Yun was about to reply when a red figure appeared in front of his building. He was holding a tray with several freshly cooked side dishes and soups on it.

　　Seeing that the red-clad soldier had already prepared the food he ordered, Zhou Yun immediately stood up and took the food.

　　Instead of going up to the second floor, Zhou Yun sat directly at the table in the lobby on the first floor and started eating.

　　"Speak up? Why didn't you eat the pill in the space ring of the son of the Shen'ao Marquis?" Li Xiaoxiao continued to question Zhou Yun.

　　After taking a bite of the steamed bun, Zhou Yun scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I don't know the properties of those pills, and I can't tell them apart, so I didn't eat them rashly." In fact, Zhou Yun had never seen the things in the space ring, but Zhou Yun still didn't say this out loud, otherwise, if Li Xiaoxiao was angry, it would be really troublesome.

　　Hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately chuckled, leaned over and patted Zhou Yun across the table. Li Xiaoxiao then stretched out her hand to Zhou Yun, "I didn't expect you to be so stupid. If you had said you couldn't recognize it earlier, could you have told me earlier? Hurry up and bring it here. I'll help you take a look. Maybe it's still in time."

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's actions, Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment, and a trace of vigilance rose in his heart. But then, under Li Xiaoxiao's pure eyes, Zhou Yun's vigilance relaxed. Li Xiaoxiao was a princess of a dynasty, and she couldn't get what she wanted, so why would she covet the little advantage of him?

　　Moreover, from the time they met in the Black Dragon Mountains until now, Li Xiaoxiao has helped him a lot. Even if all the pills in the ring were taken away by her, Zhou Yun would not think there was anything wrong with it.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun took out all the five space rings and seized weapons he had obtained in that battle and placed them in front of Li Xiaoxiao.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun taking out all the things so readily, Li Xiaoxiao's expression froze for a moment, but then a blush quietly appeared on her pretty face, and then she lowered her head slightly.

　　Unconsciously, Li Xiaoxiao had developed a vague affection for Zhou Yun, but now she was naive and didn't understand what this feeling was. She just knew that he cared about Zhou Yun and cared about Zhou Yun's affairs.

　　Under such circumstances, seeing that Zhou Yun trusted her so much, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.

　　After spending some time, Li Xiaoxiao calmed herself down and began to help Zhou Yun check it out.

　　"Well, this weapon is good, the Ghost Hook, which is considered a very evil weapon. But the shape of the weapon is not the point, the most important thing is the material. This Ghost Hook is made of star iron. It is not only extremely sharp, but also difficult to stop bleeding from cuts, and the wound is easy to expand, and it also has the effect of blocking true power attacks. It's just that the material used for this Ghost Hook is too little, otherwise, it would be good to smelt it to make a sword." Li Xiaoxiao picked up a claw-shaped weapon on the table that exuded a slightly cold aura and took a look at it. After commenting, she put the weapon aside.

　　Zhou Yun naturally recognized that this was the weapon used by Tian Yue. At that time, Zhou Yun showed great interest in this weapon.

　　"This sword is not bad either. It is much better than the Tianyan steel sword you use. It is made of Thousand Hammer Iron with a piece of Snow Peak Crystal Stone added. It is extremely sharp and very light. You can use this sword as your main sword."

　　"Well, this guy's sword is not bad, but you don't need the sword. You can auction it off in the future and get one million taels without any problem."

　　"Huh? This is a good thing. Zhou Yun, you see it, this is an inner armor made of ice cicada silk. Generally speaking, it is invulnerable to swords and guns, but it also depends on the intensity of the attack. However, even if it cannot withstand the attack and is cut, this ice cicada silk inner armor can help you offset a lot of damage. You can put it on first."

　　"There are still a lot of gold notes here? Haha, there are actually 500,000 taels. These prodigal sons are really wasting money. There won't be any place to spend money in the Shenwei training camp. You are really lucky. This time you get all the money."

　　Although her family was very wealthy, Li Xiaoxiao was only a little girl who had just turned sixteen and was less than a month old. She still had a childlike innocence. Although these things were not rare treasures in her eyes, Li Xiaoxiao was still very excited to help Zhou Yun count them. Firstly, Li Xiaoxiao knew that these things could play a big role in Zhou Yun's life. Secondly, these things were free, so it would be a waste if she didn't take them. At least that was the case in Li Xiaoxiao's opinion.

　　While eating the food brought by the red-clad soldier and recovering his strength, Zhou Yun watched Li Xiaoxiao happily picking things, and a smile appeared on his face.

　　But soon, the gentle smile on Zhou Yun's face was replaced by surprise. As Li Xiaoxiao picked out these things one by one and explained their value to Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun was really shocked.

　　So far, Li Xiaoxiao has only looked at the five weapons and two space rings on the table, and the value of these things is already as high as 30 million taels!

　　Thirty million taels! Such a large amount of money was simply unbelievable to Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun had never even thought that he would get so much money one day!

　　Listening to Li Xiaoxiao introducing these priceless treasures one by one, Zhou Yun even had an urge to rush out and kill all the noble children participating in the Shenwei Training Camp, and then snatch their space rings to make a fortune!

　　But this thought just flashed through Zhou Yun's mind and then disappeared. If he did this, it would be truly "earth-shattering".

　　Just as Zhou Yun was thinking, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly screamed.

　　"Huh? This thing looks like a world crystal!"

　　Zhou Yun was attracted by Li Xiaoxiao's cry and looked over immediately. As soon as he saw it, he immediately felt a chill all over his body.

　　At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao was holding a small blue-gray piece in her hand. The texture and the vague feeling were very similar to the mysterious small piece in Zhou Yun's space ring!

　　The most important thing is that Li Xiaoxiao seems to know what this little piece of thing is!

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun vaguely felt that a mysterious door was quietly opening in front of him!

　　Chapter 116: Secrets of the Realm Crystal

　　"Xiaoxiao, do you know what this thing is?" Excited, Zhou Yun grabbed Li Xiaoxiao's hand across the table and asked anxiously.

　　Unexpectedly, Zhou Yun's reaction was so big that Li Xiaoxiao's hand was suddenly grabbed and her pretty face turned red with embarrassment.

　　In fact, when she took Zhou Yun to check out the small building before, she also held Zhou Yun's hand, but that was in a relaxed environment, and she took the initiative and was mentally prepared. But now it's different. As a sixteen-year-old girl, she was suddenly held by a man of the same age. Li Xiaoxiao's shyness can be imagined.

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's red face, Zhou Yun immediately realized that his behavior was inappropriate and he was a little too excited. He quickly let go of her hand and spoke in a gentle and calm tone, "Princess Yuling, what is this world crystal you are talking about?"

　　The "Xiaoxiao" Zhou Yun called out in a hurry just now actually made her feel sweet. After hearing Zhou Yun change the name back, Li Xiaoxiao gently stroked the hair beside her ear and whispered, "You should still call me Xiaoxiao. We are friends now. Calling me by my title seems too distant."

　　After hearing what Princess Yuling said, Zhou Yun was slightly stunned, but he finally listened to Li Xiaoxiao.

　　"Xiaoxiao." Zhou Yun said in a low voice with a little unnaturalness.

　　"Yeah." After nodding, a layer of blush appeared on Li Xiaoxiao's little face again.

　　Not paying attention to the unnaturalness in Zhou Yun's words, with a hint of sweetness in her heart, Li Xiaoxiao spoke slowly, "In fact, I don't know much about this world crystal. I just heard my father talk about it once. This world crystal seems to contain a world of its own, which is extremely mysterious. Each world crystal is different. Some worlds inside world crystals are extremely large, even not smaller than the Tianyuan Continent, while some worlds inside world crystals are extremely small, only a few miles in radius. The space inside some world crystals is extremely pure, almost equivalent to the ancient primordial world, while the space inside some world crystals is extremely prosperous, even like the continent we are on, which also has its own society and its own dynasty."

　　Listening to Li Xiaoxiao's words, Zhou Yun was extremely shocked!

　　Boundary Crystal! The mysterious piece in his hand must be a Boundary Crystal, and it is an extremely pure Boundary Crystal!

　　You know, in the ancient Hongmeng era, the spiritual energy in the universe was overflowing and extremely pure. Even if people did not practice, their cultivation could be steadily improved. They could carry mountains on their shoulders and break rivers with their palms. They were extremely powerful. With the continuous activities and development of mankind, the spiritual energy in the universe gradually dissipated, and now it has become very common.

　　But the mysterious piece in Zhou Yun's hand is different. Zhou Yun has a deep understanding of this. Every time Zhou Yun stays in that small piece of mysterious inky space, even if he does nothing, just breathes the pure air and feels the vastness of the world, his cultivation level will improve rapidly. If supplemented by practicing exercises, the growth rate of his cultivation level will be multiplied!

　　Originally, Zhou Yun had been wondering what the mysterious little piece was. Today, Zhou Yun finally knew.

　　But now, Zhou Yun still has some questions that he hasn't figured out. Looking at Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun asked, "Xiaoxiao, do you know how this world crystal is produced?"

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's question, Li Xiaoxiao's face also revealed a trace of confusion. Shaking her head slightly, Li Xiaoxiao said, "I'm really not sure about this, but it is said that this world crystal seems to be the result of a battle between ancient powerful beings. The original chaotic continent was shattered into countless fragments and drifted into the entire void. These broken fragments are pieces of world crystals. But I don't know whether this statement is accurate, and I can't verify it."

　　Although Li Xiaoxiao was not sure about the accuracy of this statement, Zhou Yun had a feeling that this statement was very close to the truth.

　　Rumor has it that the ancient times are at least hundreds of thousands of years away from the present. The continent where Zhou Yun is located alone has a recorded history of more than 20,000 years. Before the emergence of civilization, the Tianyuan Continent also experienced the previous barbaric era. No one can give a specific answer to how long the barbaric era was.

　　But according to Zhou Yun's thinking, this era will definitely not last short.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun lost in thought, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile. She really liked seeing Zhou Yun's serious look. When he was serious, Zhou Yun seemed extremely focused, and his profile also looked extremely resolute. This was also the reason why Li Xiaoxiao had a good impression of Zhou Yun. She always felt that Zhou Yun was different from any man around her.

　　Although she really wanted to see more of Zhou Yun thinking, Li Xiaoxiao knew that now was not the time.

　　The white little hand waved in front of Zhou Yun, and Li Xiaoxiao said, "Okay, don't think about these illusory things. Keep this boundary crystal well. When you have time, fuse a drop of blood into it, and it will recognize the master. Then, you can radiate your thoughts and enter the boundary crystal space. Then you can see what is inside. In addition, each boundary crystal can breed its own boundary beast, which is extremely powerful when combined with its own life. The purer the boundary crystal, the more difficult it is to breed a boundary beast. Once it is successfully bred, the more powerful it will be. Now that you have a boundary crystal, you must cherish this opportunity."

　　After saying this, Li Xiaoxiao immediately spread out her hands and handed the boundary crystal in her hand to Zhou Yun.

　　"You, why don't you go in and take a look yourself?" Zhou Yun was immediately surprised when he saw Li Xiaoxiao's actions.

　　Li Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "You are stupid. This world crystal has unique properties before it is truly opened. Only those who recognize it as their master can enter. But if you want to invite me to your world crystal world as a guest, then you should practice hard. When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you can truly open this world crystal. At that time, not only your thoughts can enter, but also your body, and you can even bring a lot of things in. Real masters all have their own world crystal worlds, and they don't even need space rings. But there are not many people who can open the world crystal, especially in the Tianyuan Dynasty. You can count them on both hands."

　　While chatting and laughing, Li Xiaoxiao once again told Zhou Yun a useful piece of information.

　　Zhou Yun felt touched when he took the blue-gray boundary crystal handed to him by Li Xiaoxiao.

　　This Li Xiaoxiao is really a very simple girl, and she is really good to him.

　　"Okay, continue eating. I'll quickly help you look through the contents of the remaining space rings, and then help you find a suitable elixir." Seeing Zhou Yun put away the world crystal, Li Xiaoxiao smiled brightly and began to help Zhou Yun organize the things on the table.

　　After experiencing the shock of the 'Boundary Crystal' incident, Zhou Yun no longer cared about the treasures that Li Xiaoxiao found later. He had no appetite and just shoveled food into his mouth in a daze.

　　The information Li Xiaoxiao brought to him was so shocking. The mysterious ancient war, the legendary broken continent, the world crystal, the space within the world crystal, the world beast, new information appeared in front of Zhou Yun, almost making Zhou Yun feel overwhelmed.

　　The original confusion about the mysterious piece has been resolved a little. Zhou Yun is certain that the mysterious piece in his hand is a boundary crystal, and it is definitely a very pure boundary crystal.

　　Zhou Yun had hardly moved around in that dark world, and now he didn't know how big the boundary crystal space in that mysterious little piece was. And what could that boundary beast be? It sounded very powerful, so how could a boundary beast be bred?

　　Thinking about these things, Zhou Yun's mind became more and more confused. Li Xiaoxiao's words opened a door for Zhou Yun, but it also brought more confusion. For a moment, Zhou Yun felt that the world he lived in was not that simple.

　　In order to find out the real truth, Zhou Yun must have strong cultivation.

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun felt that the road he had to go was much longer than he had imagined. Originally, Zhou Yun thought that the pinnacle of martial arts cultivation on the Tianyuan Continent was the martial saint realm of Yijing marrow cleansing, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

　　Above the Martial Saint, there must be even more powerful levels of cultivation and even more powerful beings.

　　Previously, Zhou Yun always felt that with his current training speed, by the time the Shenwei Training Camp closed, he would at least be able to reach the middle stage of internal organ training and blood transfusion. Within two years, he would definitely be able to undergo the Yi Jing marrow cleansing and reach the realm of Martial Saint.

　　By that time, I, who have already achieved the status of a Martial Saint, will definitely be able to protect Jun Yao and my sister Zhou Xue from any harm.

　　But now it seems that my idea was too simple.

　　Li Xiaoxiao has just said that the number of people in the Tianyuan Dynasty who can open the boundary crystal can be counted on two hands, which means that such masters must exist in the Tianyuan Dynasty. Even if, as Li Xiaoxiao said, there are less than ten people who have reached this level, even if there are more than ten people, it must not be too many.

　　Not counting the entire Tianyuan Continent, how many Martial Saints are there in the Tianyuan Dynasty alone?

　　The generals from all sides are all at the level of Martial Saint, and the palace is foreseeably filled with many masters. It is surprising that all the soldiers in the Red Flame Army, which is responsible for the order of the Shenwei Training Camp, have reached the level of practicing organ and blood exchange.

　　According to this estimate, even if the number of warriors who have reached the Martial Saint realm in the entire Tianyuan Dynasty is not as small as a handful of fish crossing a river, it is definitely a huge number.

　　However, there are only a dozen people above these Martial Saints. Moreover, among so many Martial Saints, is there no difference between the strong and the weak? If so, if there is no other realm of martial arts cultivation above the Martial Saint, Zhou Yun would never believe it.

　　The meal had already been finished, but Zhou Yun was still thinking silently until Li Xiaoxiao's voice interrupted his thoughts.

　　"Zhou Yun, I found it. This is a Tianwang Yangqi Pill. After taking it, you can quickly recover from physical injuries and strength loss. You should eat it quickly. I don't have time to explain the other things to you now. After your initial test is completed, I will explain them to you in detail." Finally, Li Xiaoxiao found a suitable pill from Liu Yuan's space ring. With excitement on her face, Li Xiaoxiao quickly spoke to Zhou Yun.

　　Li Xiaoxiao brought Zhou Yun back to his senses. He tried hard to calm his mind and took the pill that Li Xiaoxiao handed to him.

　　After swallowing the pill, Zhou Yun immediately felt his body burning hot, and the strength lost in the battle in the square was being replenished quickly.

　　Feeling the power of the elixir, Zhou Yun's eyes immediately became more determined. No matter what the future holds, doing well in the things at hand is the most important thing. There is no shortcut in the martial arts, and only steady climbing can lead to reaching the peak.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun slowly walked out of his small building. The true path of martial arts begins now!

　　————————

　　Hehe, after reading this, you should understand the meaning of the name of this book "The Holy Lord of All Realms".

　　When I started writing this book, many author friends told me that the name "Ten Thousand Realms" was not a good one. Those associated with "realms" are usually seven realms, nine realms, ten realms, etc., but "Ten Thousand Realms" has never appeared.

　　But the 'realms' in Xiaosheng's book are different from those in other books.

　　After this chapter, the book "Saint of All Worlds" will enter a new era, and more exciting stories are waiting for everyone. This is a book with a grand conception, and I believe it will not disappoint everyone.

　　Once again, I would like to ask for your support. Thank you very much!

　　Chapter 117 Cultivation Test

　　Zhou Yun was the last one to participate in the initial test of the Shenwei Training Camp. Before that, basically all the students had completed the initial test, and there had been some slight changes in their rankings on the leaderboard.

　　The original top three, Li Wanqiu, Li Fengyun and Xie Changtian, are still in the top three and their positions have not changed.

　　But Wu Helianshan, who was ranked fifth, surpassed Lei Rong and ranked fourth. Since it was a change within the top five, this change was also very noticeable. In addition to this small change, the rest was that Li Xiaoxiao had risen from thirty-third to twenty-first.

　　This is the student with the largest increase in ranking. The rankings of the rest have only changed by one or two places at most. Since the ranking changes are not significant and are not in the top five or even top ten, they have not attracted much attention.

　　At this time, almost all the students of the Shenwei Training Camp were paying attention to Zhou Yun's performance. After the battle in the square, Zhou Yun had already shocked most of the students of the Shenwei Training Camp, but these people still wanted to wait and confirm whether Zhou Yun really had such terrifying combat power.

　　If Zhou Yun fails to rank among the top ten this time, his situation will remain dangerous for a long time in the future.

　　"Haven't you come out yet?" On the second floor of a small building in the living area, seven noble sons were gathered together, looking at a small building opposite through the window covered with gauze. That small building was where Zhou Yun lived.

　　These people were none other than the sons of nobles who were arranged by the current Crown Prince Li Xian to be in the Shenwei Training Camp. Originally, there were a total of twelve people placed in the camp by the Crown Prince, but five of them were directly lost in the battle in the square.

　　Although they did not receive any news, most of these noble children were smart people. Although no instructions were passed on, they still knew what they should do.

　　After that battle, Li Fengyun summoned all the people from the Prince's faction on the day he entered the camp and set the goal of eliminating Zhou Yun in the Shenwei training camp. These days, they have also been paying attention to Zhou Yun.

　　"Well, he hasn't come out yet, and Princess Yuling has been in there for a long time. It seems that Zhou Yun and Princess Yuling have a really good relationship." Gazing at the small building opposite from a distance, a noble young man with a gloomy face spoke slowly.

　　"If that's the case, our plan may be difficult to succeed. The prince wanted to kill Zhou Yun in the square, but was stopped by the third princess. Princess Yuling is so close to the third princess. If Zhou Yun stays with the third princess in the future, we can say that we have no chance." Everyone present was familiar with the prince's temper, and they all knew what consequences they would face if they couldn't get rid of Zhou Yun. As soon as the sinister noble man spoke, another person immediately followed.

　　As soon as the words fell, everyone turned their eyes to Li Fengyun. After that battle, everyone realized that in the entire field, only Li Fengyun had the potential to kill Zhou Yun. Even if they went up, they would most likely die.

　　Now, the task of killing Zhou Yun has become almost impossible to accomplish. Moreover, if Princess Yuling really has a good relationship with Zhou Yun and they go out for training together in the future, they won’t even have a chance to do it.

　　In this situation, what to do depends on Li Fengyun.

　　In fact, after that battle, Li Fengyun was also shocked by Zhou Yun's cultivation. He sent out the Divine Light Heaven Gate to attack Zhou Yun, but to put it bluntly, it was also the result of a sneak attack. Although the Guanghua Sect's secret techniques were powerful, sometimes a warrior's own perception was not so easily deceived.

　　After seeing Zhou Yun's performance that day, Li Fengyun no longer had much confidence in killing Zhou Yun alone.

　　"Let's see first what position Zhou Yun can be ranked this time, and then we will make a decision. But I tell you, no matter what, we only have one chance, and we must kill him with one blow. If we can't do it, then we are doomed to never have another chance. Not only that, your lives may be in danger." Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to him, Li Fengyun's face also showed a solemn look, and then he spoke slowly.

　　He said this to warn these nobles to serve him well. As for his own safety, Li Fengyun had never worried about it. He believed that with his status, Zhou Yun would not dare to kill him even if he was bold.

　　After hearing Li Fengyun's words, all the nobles nodded silently.

　　At this moment, two figures, one blue and one red, walked out of the small building where Zhou Yun was. They were Zhou Yun and Princess Yuling Li Xiaoxiao!

　　"Prince, they are coming out!" Seeing the two people walking out, a sharp-eyed nobleman immediately spoke up.

　　Upon hearing the voice, everyone immediately turned their attention and stared at the two people walking out of the small building.

　　Seeing the petite and lovely red figure happily surrounding the young man in blue, the expressions on everyone's faces changed.

　　"This kid is so lucky. It seems that Princess Yuling has never been so enthusiastic towards anyone." With a sour tone, a certain noble young man spoke slowly.

　　In fact, his words are also the voice of most people. Most of these people are sons of marquis. According to their status, if their personal abilities and character are excellent, they may be able to marry the daughter of a prince. Although there is a certain gap in level, it is not insurmountable.

　　There are many women in the capital who are outstanding in status, appearance, and talent, but they are definitely not many. Princess Yuling is one of them. In fact, many nobles have ideas about Princess Yuling.

　　But Princess Yuling was famous for being difficult to approach. But now seeing Princess Yuling actually circling around Zhou Yun and looking very happy, everyone felt a little unwilling.

　　Sitting in the center of the crowd, Li Fengyun stared silently at Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao who were walking towards the center of the living area in the distance, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao, who walked out of the small building, also came to the sunken open space in the center of the living area.

　　As soon as he entered the open space, Zhou Yun immediately stopped, closed his eyes, and began to breathe deeply.

　　As Zhou Yun closed his eyes and began to breathe, streams of abundant true energy began to flow within his body, and even formed an obvious force field around his body, which operated and adjusted little by little.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun like this, Li Xiaoxiao knew that Zhou Yun was absorbing the power of the pill just now. She was very tactful and did not disturb Zhou Yun. Li Xiaoxiao took two steps back obediently and waited quietly.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun was indeed absorbing the power of the pill. After taking the pill, the pill immediately began to melt in Zhou Yun's body, constantly emitting power. And Zhou Yun was constantly guiding and absorbing this power.

　　"Zhou Yun, are you ready? The time is almost up." Li Xiaoxiao had been standing aside quietly waiting, and while waiting, she kept looking at the time.

　　Seeing that there was less than an incense stick of time left before the end of the assessment, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but become anxious.

　　Finally, when Li Xiaoxiao began to spin around anxiously and wanted to come up and pull Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun's eyes finally opened.

　　The pill that Li Xiaoxiao gave him was a pill that could quickly replenish his true energy. It was not as difficult to absorb as the pill that Lin Juntian gave him in Heyang City, but the effect of this pill was slightly worse than that one.

　　However, the advantage of Tianwang Yangqi Pills is that they take effect for a short time and recover quickly, and their value is even higher than the blood coagulation pill that Lin Juntian gave him.

　　"Okay, don't worry. The cultivation test will be quick. I'll go test my cultivation first. When the actual combat test comes, I'll directly choose the strongest opponent I can deal with now. I believe the result will not be too bad." Zhou Yun, who had already sensed Li Xiaoxiao's worry beside him, opened his eyes and spoke immediately.

　　"Okay, okay, go quickly!" With an anxious look on her face, Li Xiaoxiao urged Zhou Yun while taking the lead to walk towards the small tower where the cultivation level was tested.

　　Following Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun politely said to the red-clad warrior standing in front of the small tower, almost motionless like a statue, "Let me test his cultivation."

　　"Well, come with me." Although Zhou Yun arrived very late, the red-clad soldier did not have any extra expression on his face. He simply nodded, then turned and entered the small tower.

　　Turning around and showing Li Xiaoxiao a reassuring smile, Zhou Yun followed the soldier into the small tower. This cultivation test was actually not that difficult, it was just to identify the level of cultivation, and it took very little time. Zhou Yun had seen this in the previous training manual. The most important thing was the next actual combat assessment.

　　The furnishings in the small tower were very simple, an empty circular room with a raised stone platform in the center. On the stone platform, a crystal-like ball was quietly placed there. From the training manual, the crystal ball was a tool for testing cultivation.

　　“Please place your hand on the crystal ball and mobilize your true strength.” The red-clad soldier spoke silently, his face still expressionless like an iron plate.

　　Nodding, Zhou Yun walked up silently and placed his hand on the crystal ball.

　　After digesting the Tianwang Nourishing Qi Pill just now, Zhou Yun's strength has recovered to 80%, which also gave Zhou Yun greater confidence.

　　Feeling the cool touch of the crystal ball, Zhou Yun's expression suddenly became serious, and the true energy in his body began to spin wildly at this moment.

　　Then, a powerful force rushed out from Zhou Yun's body and poured directly into the crystal ball. Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the crystal ball.

　　Seeing the light, the red-clad soldier, who had originally had a calm face, finally changed his expression!

　　"The level of cultivation is at the middle stage of tendon training, and the strength of true power is at the peak of tendon training!" With a shocked expression, the red-clad soldier loudly announced Zhou Yun's results.

　　Chapter 118 Practical Assessment

　　The red-robed warrior had reason to be surprised. You know, for ordinary warriors, the level of cultivation and the strength of their true strength generally correspond to each other. If a warrior's cultivation level is at the middle stage of tendon training, then the strength of his true strength should also be at the middle stage of tendon training. Even if some people often use some natural treasures to consolidate their true strength, it would not be too outrageous.

　　After all, martial arts practice still has its inherent rules.

　　Generally speaking, the strength of the peak strength of tendon training can only be achieved by warriors who have reached the peak of tendon training. Moreover, they are those who have stayed at the peak of tendon training for a long time and cannot break through to the internal organs and blood exchange, but their strength is still increasing.

　　There are very few people whose true power has already broken through to the peak of tendon training before reaching that peak.

　　Zhou Yun's performance was already considered an outlier. However, the red-robed warrior didn't know that Zhou Yun was not in his best condition. In his normal condition, Zhou Yun's true strength would be 20% stronger than it is now, almost equal to a warrior who had just started the internal blood exchange technique.

　　Naturally, he saw the red-clad warrior's shock and knew the reason, but Zhou Yun still said calmly, "Is the test completed?"

　　Zhou Yun now does not have so much time to wait for the red-clad warrior in a daze. There are only ten minutes left before the end of this test. Now Zhou Yun also needs to go to another small tower nearby to test his actual combat ability.

　　After Zhou Yun's reminder, the red-clad soldier finally reacted and his expression regained its composure. "It's done. You can leave now."

　　"Thank you." Nodding, Zhou Yun turned and walked out of the tower.

　　Li Xiaoxiao, who had been waiting at the door, saw Zhou Yun coming out and immediately ran over.

　　"Zhou Yun, how is it?" She really hoped that Zhou Yun would get a good result, so she was naturally very concerned about the results of Zhou Yun's assessment this time.

　　"The condition is normal, and the cultivation level is at the middle stage of tendon training." Zhou Yun said with a relaxed smile.

　　Zhou Yun only said half of the sentence and did not tell Li Xiaoxiao the results of his true strength test. Although he already trusted Li Xiaoxiao, he still didn't want to cause trouble for no reason.

　　Especially after learning the secret of the boundary crystal just now, with his current level of cultivation and such abnormal strength of true power, some people with vicious eyes may really be able to see the secret in him.

　　Although Zhou Yun didn't have the ability to distinguish what each Boundary Crystal was, he instinctively felt that his Boundary Crystal must be extremely powerful! If such news leaked out, the number of people who wanted to cause trouble for him would probably be much larger than it is now.

　　"You are really in the middle stage of muscle training. How strange." Looking at Zhou Yun with some surprise, Li Xiaoxiao said with a hint of doubt, "But don't worry about it. Go and test your actual combat ability. I'm sure you will have no problem with this one." Pulling Zhou Yun's hand again, Li Xiaoxiao took Zhou Yun and ran to another small tower.

　　When Li Xiaoxiao saw Zhou Yun's powerful strength in the small building that day, she questioned Li Wanqiu's judgment. However, since the person who made this judgment was Fu, the steward with a very high status in the palace, Li Xiaoxiao did not say much. Now, when she heard that Zhou Yun was actually in the middle stage of tendon training, Li Xiaoxiao was naturally surprised.

　　But now time is limited, and Li Xiaoxiao has a simple mind, so naturally she won't think too much about it.

　　The level of cultivation has been tested, and the next step is the assessment of actual combat ability. After all, this is the most important part of the initial test of the Shenwei Training Camp. Taking two quick steps, Li Xiaoxiao pulled Zhou Yun to another small tower.

　　Just like before, another soldier in red was standing there quietly, waiting for the arrival of the examinee.

　　"I'm here to take part in the actual combat assessment." Standing in front of the small tower door, Zhou Yun spoke calmly.

　　Although Zhou Yun had not had much contact with the people in the Shenwei Training Camp three days after entering the camp, he had already gained some understanding of the style of these Red Flame Army soldiers. The purpose of these people being here is to maintain the order of the Shenwei Training Camp. They have basically the same expression and tone towards all the students, with almost no changes.

　　Therefore, Zhou Yun did not pay much attention to etiquette, nor did he say any polite words or greetings. He just stated his requests directly and concisely.

　　"Okay, please follow me." Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Yun's words, the red-clad soldier nodded calmly, turned around, opened the door of the small tower, and walked in first.

　　"Zhou Yun, you must do your best this time!" This time the actual combat ability is assessed. Compared with the certainty of the cultivation test, this actual combat assessment has many more variables. Li Xiaoxiao also spoke up to cheer for Zhou Yun.

　　"Don't worry." Zhou Yun turned around and smiled at Li Xiaoxiao, then quickly entered the small tower.

　　Although this small tower for testing actual combat ability looks no different from the small tower for testing cultivation level from the outside, the space inside is much larger.

　　After walking straight inside for about two breaths, Zhou Yun arrived at an empty hall.

　　The hall was dark, almost pitch black, and only the outline of the hall could be seen, but Zhou Yun could rely on his spiritual sense to sense the position of the red-clad soldier who led him in. After sensing, Zhou Yun suddenly discovered that in addition to the soldier, there were ten warriors standing in line on the northernmost side of the hall!

　　The strength of the aura of these warriors varies from the first to the last, and is becoming increasingly stronger.

　　The first warrior only has the initial stage of bone training, and then from the middle stage of bone training, the peak stage of bone training, the initial stage of tendon training, the middle stage of tendon training, and the initial stage of Yijin Xisui. Zhou Yun had seen this in the previous training manual, and he understood the procedure here, so he was not in a hurry.

　　Although he arrived very late, Zhou Yun was not prepared to challenge the opponents one by one according to his ability. Instead, he planned to directly choose a suitable opponent and show his skills.

　　call!

　　With the sound of fire, the entire hall was immediately filled with light. Around the circular hall, a row of linked lamps were lit one after another, and the red-clad soldier also returned to Zhou Yun at this time.

　　"There are ten warriors in front for you to choose from. Their cultivation levels range from the early stage of bone training to the early stage of tendon and marrow cleansing. Now there are only eight minutes left before the end of the assessment. It is recommended that you directly choose a warrior who can release the upper limit of your strength to fight." Returning to Zhou Yun, the red-clad soldier still spoke to Zhou Yun with a calm expression.

　　Zhou Yun had already prepared himself in his heart, and he said calmly, "I choose warriors who are in the early stage of blood transfusion."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the red-clad warrior, who had originally looked calm, immediately narrowed his eyes slightly, but still maintained his composure. After looking at Zhou Yun, the red-clad warrior said, "Only four people chose to challenge the warriors who have just completed the initial stage of internal organ exchange this time, and one person failed. Now your assessment time is very short. If you fail, you will not get any points in this stage. Are you sure you want to challenge?"

　　Before coming, Zhou Yun already understood the rules of the test. This practical assessment test is not about the examiner evaluating your performance in battle, but directly looking at the results of the battle.

　　If the candidate can defeat a warrior at the peak of tendon training, then this candidate can obtain the points of a warrior at this level. If he fails, but has defeated a warrior at the middle level of tendon training before, then the points will be counted according to the warrior at the middle level of tendon training.

　　Because of this rule, many candidates would first choose an opponent they were sure to defeat, to get a guaranteed score, so as to avoid directly challenging a high-level warrior, and then failing and not being able to go back and challenge a low-level warrior, resulting in no points.

　　But now Zhou Yun didn't have so much time. With less than eight minutes left, Zhou Yun could only choose to challenge a warrior. Although challenging a warrior at the peak of tendon training was a sure thing, it didn't mean much to Zhou Yun.

　　Warriors below the level of organ blood transfusion are no longer any threat to Zhou Yun now. The only ones who can threaten him now are those warriors who have reached the level of organ blood transfusion.

　　Han Shuo's cultivation had just entered the stage of internal organ blood transfusion, and was not stable enough, which was why he was killed by Zhou Yun. Now Zhou Yun wanted to see if he had the power to defeat a warrior who was truly in the early stages of internal organ blood transfusion.

　　"OK." There was not much time left, Zhou Yun nodded to confirm his choice.

　　"Okay, please come in." Seeing Zhou Yun's insistence, the red-clad soldier said no more.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun slowly walked into the arena. As he had just taken a Heavenly King Yangqi Pill, although Zhou Yun's strength had not recovered to its peak, his mental state was very good. As he moved forward step by step, the true energy in Zhou Yun's body began to slowly turn, and he entered a combat state.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun had already walked into the field, the red-robed soldier gently pressed a mechanism beside him, and suddenly, all the warriors who had been standing there with their heads down and arms folded immediately moved. It was the warrior standing in the sixth position, whose eyes that had been tightly closed suddenly opened, and the warrior turned around quickly, and suddenly, a long sword was already in his hand, and the whole person turned around and jumped down and jumped into the field.

　　Breathing calmly, Zhou Yun silently released his spiritual sense to sense the cultivation level of the warrior in front of him, and he also made his own judgment in his mind.

　　The strength of his true strength is slightly stronger than his current self, but not invincible.

　　After all, Zhou Yun’s current combat skills and martial arts are definitely not weak. Even if his strength and cultivation level are not as good as the opponent, Zhou Yun is confident that he can fight.

　　"Start!" Seeing that Zhou Yun was ready, the red-clad soldiers standing outside the field immediately gave the order.

　　The moment the order was given, the warrior who was fighting against Zhou Yun immediately stood up, and the long sword in his hand stabbed towards Zhou Yun's chest at a strange angle.

　　Faced with an attack that was both agile and ethereal, Zhou Yun felt at peace.

　　When it comes to attacks that are both real and illusory, and that catch the enemy by surprise, what secret book can compare to the magic sword technique he learned in the Shadow Sword Sect's power transmission tower?

　　As soon as the warrior moved, Zhou Yun saw through his attack intention.

　　With a slight turn of his right hand, the sword made of thousand-hammered iron that he had seized from Han Shuo immediately appeared in Zhou Yun's hand.

　　brush!

　　With a sudden upward move, Zhou Yun immediately blocked the warrior's attack!

　　Chapter 119 Dazzling Again

　　The angle of the warrior's first sword strike was extremely strange, but it did not carry the effect of attacking with true power out of the body. However, Zhou Yun's sword strike carried the effect of attacking with true power out of the body. This situation was obviously beyond the warrior's expectations.

　　In his opinion, attacking with true energy requires a certain brewing process, which is also basic common sense in martial arts. Only martial artists who have reached a very deep level of internal organ training and blood exchange, and whose true energy has reached an extremely abundant state, can attacking with true energy instantly.

　　But the student in front of me actually did this, which was extremely shocking.

　　In fact, he had already intended to gain the upper hand during the fight, especially after the warrior launched his first attack, Zhou Yun's intention became even clearer.

　　After just one exchange of moves, Zhou Yun was able to determine that although this warrior's cultivation had reached the initial stage of organ training and blood transfusion, his actual combat skills were several levels lower than the war puppet he met in the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower.

　　In fact, this is easy to understand. The Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower that Zhou Yun entered was set up to increase the difficulty and train disciples. The more important meaning is to set up a high mountain that is not easy to climb, in order to lay a good foundation for the disciples.

　　If a disciple is at the stage of muscle training, and if his actual combat skills are not at the highest level, it is impossible for him to pass the same level of the power transmission tower. The reason why Zhou Yun passed was more due to his superhuman endurance and true strength.

　　But after the training with the war puppet, even if Zhou Yun's skills have not reached the peak, they are already very powerful and are more than enough to deal with this test warrior.

　　After gaining the advantage with a slash of the sword, Zhou Yun did not hold back and attacked the warrior in charge of the test with the same phantom sword, combined with his improved pneumatic steps. Not only were his sword moves extremely secretive, but his body movements also reached an extremely high level.

　　Soon, the test warrior showed signs of exhaustion under Zhou Yun's attack.

　　Brush! Brush! Brush!

　　On the battlefield in the center of the hall, Zhou Yun's Thousand Hammer Iron Saber continued to attack from various strange angles, forcing the test warrior into a miserable state.

　　Although his cultivation had reached the level of training organs and exchanging blood, and his true strength was stronger than Zhou Yun's, the test warrior found himself facing a breeze. No matter how he attacked, it was like hitting cotton, with no effect at all. Zhou Yun's attack did not seem to be completed by one person, but seemed to be attacked by four or five people with long swords at the same time. Various continuous quick swords always appeared from some incredible angles, forcing him to have no way out.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun also realized the benefits of his new weapon. This sword made of Thousand Hammer Iron was extremely sharp, but its sturdiness was not inferior to that of the Black Jade Steel Sword. In addition, a Snow Top Crystal Stone was added during the refining process of the sword, and its destructive power was greatly enhanced, not inferior to that of the Tianyan Steel Sword.

　　The most important thing is that with these two advantages, the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber is not heavy and can be said to be extremely light, which immediately makes Zhou Yun's attack speed faster.

　　Feeling this new pleasure of flexibility, Zhou Yun was even more grateful to Yuling Princess Li Xiaoxiao. This childish little princess was naughty and a little noisy, but she was really knowledgeable. The first time she saw this sword, she suggested that Zhou Yun replace his main sword with this Thousand Hammer Iron Sword.

　　Now it seems that it really has a good effect.

　　This test warrior did not have very high combat skills, and Zhou Yun could not learn anything from him. After discovering that his current combat power could easily control this test warrior, Zhou Yun prepared to end this battle.

　　Although the sword in his hand was still swinging continuously, Zhou Yun did not release his true power to attack. Quietly, a layer of blue light jumped and rotated on Zhou Yun's body.

　　Seeing this, the test warrior knew that Zhou Yun was going to use his ultimate move. Although he wanted to intensify his attack to break this situation, the entire battle scene was firmly controlled by Zhou Yun, and he had no way to escape.

　　Finally, the power of thunder and lightning in Zhou Yun's body has been fully activated.

　　After swinging the knife, Zhou Yun's left hand finally moved.

　　"Thunder strike!"

　　Zip! Zip!

　　Following Zhou Yun's light shout, blue lightning immediately emanated from the palm of his left hand. Once it left the body, the blue lightning immediately expanded and spread, covering a fairly large area.

　　There was nowhere to hide, and the test warrior was immediately paralyzed by the lightning power released by Zhou Yun, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

　　After using it in battles several times, Zhou Yun already knew the power of the Myriad Thunder Fist. This thunder-attributed technique is different from wind-attributed, fire-attributed, and even ice-attributed techniques.

　　When a person is attacked by a skill with attributes such as wind, fire, and ice, it may be painful, affect their movements, and destroy their balance. However, these attributes are far inferior to the side effects of a lightning-attributed attack!

　　Any warrior who is hit by the lightning power brought by the Myriad Things Thunder Fist during a fight will immediately feel paralyzed all over the body and lose his fighting ability.

　　The Wanxiang Benlei Fist, the best boxing style in the world, is indeed not just a reputation.

　　"Have I passed?" The battle was decided in less than five minutes. Seeing that his opponent had fallen to the ground and began to twitch, Zhou Yun put away his weapon and turned around to ask the red-clad soldier in charge of the assessment.

　　With an undisguised look of admiration in his eyes, the red-clad soldier nodded and said to Zhou Yun, "You passed."

　　Not surprised by the result, Zhou Yun bowed to the red-clad soldier, turned and left the examination hall, and walked out of the small tower along the same path he came in.

　　As soon as he came out of the small tower, Zhou Yun immediately saw Li Xiaoxiao waiting there.

　　"Zhou Yun, you came out so soon? Which stage of the test warrior did you challenge?" Seeing that Zhou Yun came out so quickly and looked relaxed, Li Xiaoxiao knew that Zhou Yun must have only fought once, and won a quick and overwhelming victory. Feeling happy for Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask curiously.

　　Zhou Yun defeated the test warrior at that stage, which will be directly related to Zhou Yun's results.

　　Blinking at Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Won't you know when the ranking comes out?"

　　After leaving a few words, Zhou Yun walked past Li Xiaoxiao and headed towards the small building where he lived.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun's back as he left first, Li Xiaoxiao cursed him four or five times as a stingy guy but still quickly caught up with Zhou Yun.

　　When the two returned to the small building where Zhou Yun lived, the ranking of the Emperor's Elite List on the magnificent Emperor's Pillar in the distance finally changed again.

　　With a flash of golden light, Zhou Yun, who was originally ranked last, suddenly rose to the fourth place!

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had already walked into the small building first, and Li Xiaoxiao felt the golden light and changes on the Emperor Elite List. Looking back, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

　　The next moment, a look of joy appeared on her pretty face. Li Xiaoxiao ran into the house, grabbed Zhou Yun's hand, and began to celebrate. Li Xiaoxiao knew that Zhou Yun had achieved another dazzling result today after his outstanding performance in the Jieying Square.

　　"Zhou Yun, fourth place, you actually rose directly to fourth place, you are really awesome!"

　　Seeing the happy expression of the girl in front of him, as if she was happier than herself for getting such a high ranking, Zhou Yun also showed a smile on her face.

　　There was a sense of jubilation in the small building where Zhou Yun lived, but on the other side opposite to Zhou Yun's building, the noble young men gathered together were not so relaxed.

　　“Prince, that Zhou Yun… is actually ranked fourth!” Looking at the ranking on the Emperor’s Elite List, Zhou Yun was actually only below the top three, Li Wanqiu, Li Fengyun and Xie Changtian. A noble young man from the crown prince’s family immediately stuttered, with an unbelievable tone in his voice.

　　"It's incredible that Zhou Yun's actual combat ability is so strong! However, he was clearly injured in the battle three days ago. Could it be that he achieved this result while injured?" Another nobleman, also staring at the Emperor's Elite List, guessed aloud. After he finished speaking, even he was shocked by such a guess.

　　"Absolutely impossible. He killed Liu Yuan. Don't forget, he got Liu Yuan's space ring. There must be a lot of top-grade elixirs in that ring. Zhou Yun's injuries must have recovered. And don't forget, he didn't suffer any serious injuries in that battle. At most, he had some superficial injuries. He just consumed a little more strength and was a little weak." After hearing the words of the noble young man, another person immediately retorted.

　　His rebuttal represented the thoughts of almost everyone in the room. They couldn't believe that Zhou Yun could resolve the battle in such a short time.

　　You know, the warriors here are all at the peak of muscle training, and it would take them much longer than Zhou Yun to enter the small tower that tests actual combat ability and defeat a test warrior at the peak of muscle training.

　　Now, these nobles are all guessing that Zhou Yun challenged a warrior at the peak of the tendon training stage, and the reason why Zhou Yun ranked high is entirely because he spent too little time. The short time spent means that the warriors at the peak of the tendon training are almost vulnerable in Zhou Yun's eyes. In this way, Zhou Yun's cultivation is the same as theirs, and his actual combat ability is high, so he is naturally ranked high.

　　But these people didn't know that the aura Zhou Yun was challenging was that of a warrior in the early stage of internal organ training and blood exchange, nor did they know that Zhou Yun's cultivation level was only in the middle stage of tendon training. If these two things were known to these people, they would probably lose the courage to fight Zhou Yun. Even now, these noble sons began to back off one by one.

　　After all, they all cherished their lives, and Zhou Yun left them with the impression of a madman who was decisive and reckless. If they really had to fight this madman, Zhou Yun would not dare to kill them just because of their identities. None of them could guarantee that they could escape unscathed from facing Zhou Yun.

　　Li Fengyun had been silent all the time, quietly looking at the people in front of him. He knew in his heart that if he didn't find some powerful help, these people would be really useless. If it weren't for the absolute advantage, these people wouldn't even dare to fight Zhou Yun.

　　With a cold light flashing in his eyes, Li Fengyun finally spoke slowly, "You all should go back and practice well in the near future. Don't provoke Zhou Yun. I will find a perfect opportunity to deal with him. If I don't find one, then we won't do it."

　　As soon as Li Fengyun finished speaking, the remaining six noble lords finally showed relieved expressions on their faces. They begged for mercy and retreated one by one.

　　"A bunch of trash!" Looking at those noble young men who left in a hurry, Li Fengyun's eyes were cold and he slowly uttered a few words.

　　————————

　　Special thanks to 'Xiu Tang' for his great chapter.

　　Chapter 120: Drunk

　　"Xiaoxiao, aren't you going back to practice?" At this moment, in the front hall of the bedroom on the third floor of the small building where Zhou Yun was, Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao were sitting together. In front of them were a few exquisite side dishes and a gourd of good wine. They were chatting and tasting the wine casually.

　　Looking at Li Xiaoxiao who was already a little tipsy in front of him, Zhou Yun asked helplessly.

　　Today, the initial test of the Shenwei training camp ended, and Zhou Yun ranked fourth, which was a very strong result. After Li Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yun returned to the small building, she used the excuse that Zhou Yun had achieved very good results and should celebrate, and insisted on dragging Zhou Yun to drink together, which made Zhou Yun extremely helpless.

　　But Li Xiaoxiao's help to him was so great that Zhou Yun couldn't bear to refuse.

　　"Why rush? Once the resources are allocated tomorrow, naturally... naturally I can practice well. Then the speed of practice will be much faster than usual." With a hint of confusion, Li Xiaoxiao's face flushed. She took a sip of wine and spoke casually.

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao drunk, Zhou Yun couldn't help but smile helplessly. It was obvious that Li Xiaoxiao couldn't drink at all, yet he still forced himself to drink. Zhou Yun was fine after drinking most of a small pot of wine, but Li Xiaoxiao only drank five or six glasses and was already unconscious.

　　Originally, Zhou Yun wanted to ask what the resources allocated in the Shenwei Training Camp were, but seeing Li Xiaoxiao's expression, he had no choice but to give up.

　　"Xiaoxiao? You are drunk. Go back and rest quickly. It will be troublesome if you fall asleep." Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao could no longer hold on, Zhou Yun immediately reminded her.

　　Li Xiaoxiao waved her hands vigorously and said indifferently, "If there is any trouble..., wait... just send me to Sister Wanqiu later."

　　After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Zhou Yun felt helpless again. Even without talking about Li Xiaoxiao's noble status as a princess, just because she was an unmarried girl, if she got drunk and was supported by Zhou Yun to go back, the matter would be unclear.

　　"By the way, Zhou Yun... did you remember all the properties of the elixirs that I just told you?" Li Xiaoxiao tried hard to look at Zhou Yun, and asked with concern even in her confusion.

　　"I've memorized it. There won't be any problem." Before drinking, Li Xiaoxiao had sorted out all the things seized this time, and also focused on introducing to Zhou Yun the pills in Liu Yuan's ring.

　　Moreover, just as Zhou Yun guessed, Liu Yuan's space ring not only contained elixirs, but also a recipe book, which introduced in detail the refining methods of more than a dozen elixirs. All of those elixirs were precious elixirs above the standard line. Once they could be mass-produced, the benefits would be enormous.

　　However, Zhou Yun has not yet figured out how to convert this recipe into monetary benefits. After this battle, Zhou Yun got 70 million taels of silver from these space rings alone, not counting the value of the world crystal.

　　According to Li Xiaoxiao, the world crystal is something that is out of stock and cannot be bought at all.

　　Moreover, people who know that there are such things as Boundary Crystals in the world will definitely understand their functions and will not sell them casually.

　　"After leaving the Shenwei training camp, I still need to find a way to deal with these things. There is no use keeping them in my hands, and it will only cause trouble." Thinking about the precious things in his space ring, Zhou Yun sat there and thought slowly.

　　But Zhou Yun had no good choice in mind as to who should deal with these things. These things definitely could not be handed over to Zhang Hao to deal with. Firstly, they were too conspicuous; secondly, they would attract revenge from the enemies; thirdly, the capital city was indeed not the place to deal with these things.

　　But if not to Zhang Hao, who else could it be given to? Although these things are valuable, they are indeed a big trouble. If they are given to Li Yi, I am afraid that Li Yi will also be dragged into this vortex, which will be disadvantageous to both the Li family and her sister Zhou Xue.

　　"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. There will definitely be a way when the time comes." Shaking his head, Zhou Yun dispelled the complicated thoughts in his mind.

　　When looking forward, Zhou Yun discovered that Princess Yuling Li Xiaoxiao, who had been drowsy just now, was now fast asleep on the table.

　　"What a child." Looking at Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun shook his head helplessly, and Lin Junyao's smiling face appeared in his mind. If it was Junyao, she would definitely not do such a thing.

　　In Zhou Yun's opinion, Lin Junyao is a very well-behaved and respectable girl who takes etiquette very seriously and would definitely not be as casual as Li Xiaoxiao.

　　Instead of helping Li Xiaoxiao himself, Zhou Yun wanted to follow Li Xiaoxiao's instructions and find the third princess Li Wanqiu to take Li Xiaoxiao over. However, he ran into a snag in front of the small building where Li Wanqiu lived.

　　The red-clad soldiers guarding the small building refused to let him in, so Zhou Yun had no choice but to return to his own small building.

　　Zhou Yun took out his quilt and pillow from the room and covered Li Xiaoxiao with them. He cleared the wine and food on the small table, turned around and went downstairs, and sat down on the steps in front of his small building.

　　Li Xiaoxiao was still in the small building, and had drunk too much and fell asleep. Under such circumstances, Zhou Yun could not stay in the small building at night. Doing so could not only preserve Li Xiaoxiao's reputation, but also save himself a lot of trouble.

　　Zhou Yun knew that almost everyone in the Shenwei Training Camp was staring at him. If he and Li Xiaoxiao stayed in the small building at night, even if they were not on the same floor, the future would be uncertain. If Lin Junyao heard about it, although Lin Junyao would definitely believe him, she would feel somewhat uncomfortable, and this was exactly what Zhou Yun did not want to see.

　　Sitting down in the open space in the small building, Zhou Yun quietly assumed a posture of meditation and breathing. The boundary crystal in the space ring had already been held in his hand, and his consciousness gradually spread out, and Zhou Yun immediately entered the vast inky world.

　　In the inky world, Zhou Yun's body still remained at the original horizontal line, with no change from when he finished practicing and left today.

　　This was something Zhou Yun had anticipated long ago. After all, that Heavenly King Nourishing Qi Pill could only replenish his original body's true energy, and it was completely incapable of replenishing the body condensed from the Realm Crystal.

　　Zhou Yun can only use cultivation to make up for this body in the world crystal.

　　Since Zhou Yun's real body was sitting in the open space in front of his small building at the moment, although it was night, it was still in public. Zhou Yun naturally would not let his real body and the body in the ink-colored world practice the All-Seeing Thunder Fist together.

　　The main body sitting in front of the small building was still regulating his breathing, while in the dark air, Zhou Yun took the starting posture of the Wanxiang Thunder Posture and began to slowly practice standing still.

　　In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window of the small building, Li Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping on the couch, immediately couldn't help but stretch comfortably.

　　"Hmm... I slept so well." With her little head still in a daze, Li Xiaoxiao stretched her body in relaxation. Although she had just turned sixteen, Li Xiaoxiao's figure already had some enchanting capital. A stretching movement made her look extremely charming and alluring.

　　"Ah!!" Suddenly, Li Xiaoxiao felt that there was a quilt covering her body and a pillow under her head. She immediately sat up in surprise.

　　What happened last night also entered her mind. At that time, Li Xiaoxiao only remembered that she seemed to be drunk, and asked Zhou Yun to send her back to the third princess, and then she knew nothing.

　　But why was she still here? After taking a look at the surrounding furnishings, Li Xiaoxiao realized that she had not moved at all after falling asleep last night.

　　"Could it be that Zhou Yun..." A look of panic appeared on her pretty face, and Li Xiaoxiao suddenly felt scared. She felt that she liked Zhou Yun a little, but Li Xiaoxiao was also a conservative girl. If Zhou Yun really bullied her, she would never forgive him.

　　I hurriedly lifted the quilt, only to find that my clothes were still on, without any signs of being touched, and my body felt normal, without any discomfort.

　　At this time, Li Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved.

　　Getting down from the couch, Li Xiaoxiao looked at the bedroom with the door open. Obviously, Zhou Yun was not there.

　　"He must be practicing in the basement." Knowing that Zhou Yun did not take advantage of her drunkenness to do anything bad, Li Xiaoxiao immediately regained her happiness and ran downstairs.

　　Originally planning to go directly to the basement to look for Zhou Yun, when she ran to the first floor, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly saw a figure sitting on the open space in front of the small building through the open door. It was Zhou Yun!

　　With a hint of doubt on her face, Li Xiaoxiao walked over and stood behind Zhou Yun. "Zhou Yun, why don't you go to the underground secret room to practice? What are you doing sitting here?"

　　In that mysterious inky black space, Zhou Yun had already sensed the arrival of Li Xiaoxiao. With his mind withdrawn, Zhou Yun immediately left the crystal space.

　　When he opened his eyes, Zhou Yun immediately saw Li Xiaoxiao standing beside him with a confused look on her face.

　　"You were drunk yesterday, so I went to the Third Princess's place. However, I was blocked by the soldiers at her door and didn't go in." Zhou Yun explained with a gentle smile.

　　"I mean, if you want to practice, you can go to the underground secret room. Why are you sitting here?" Still with a puzzled look on her face, Li Xiaoxiao asked persistently.

　　Rolling his eyes helplessly, Zhou Yun said, "You are a princess, and a grown-up girl. You stayed at my place for a whole night. If I was also in the small building at night, how could I explain it clearly?"

　　Hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately understood, and her pretty face immediately turned red. She finally understood what Zhou Yun meant. It turned out that Zhou Yun chose to sit outside the building for a night for her reputation.

　　"Thank you." Li Xiaoxiao, who was always naughty, became quiet and obedient at this time, and thanked Zhou Yun out loud.

　　Zhou Yun gave Li Xiaoxiao a gentle smile and did not reply.

　　At this time, the sun had risen completely, and the entire living area of ​​the Shenwei Training Camp was shrouded in the morning light, which was magnificent.

　　Ugh…!!!

　　Suddenly, a loud horn sounded, and Li Xiaoxiao, who was standing with Zhou Yun, immediately showed joy on her face.

　　"Zhou Yun, the rewards for the initial test are about to be distributed. This is the clarion call for the training camp. Let's go over there quickly!" Li Xiaoxiao excitedly exclaimed as she held Zhou Yun's hand again.

　　At this time, candidates had already started to walk out of other small buildings in the living area of ​​the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　In the small square in the center of the living area, there were already many soldiers in red lined up there.

　　Hearing Li Xiaoxiao's words, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart, and he immediately ran towards the center of the square below.

　　Chapter 121 Resource Allocation

　　On the square, two rows of Flame Army soldiers have been lined up in order. General Yan Yin, who is in charge of this Shenwei Training Camp, is currently sitting on his giant beast. There is a row of Flame Army soldiers on each side. Although there is no main stage or flags, even with such an arrangement, it still gives people a sense of majesty.

　　Opposite General Yan Yin, most of the students of the Shenwei Training Camp had arrived. There were only three people standing in the first row. The first one was the third princess Li Wanqiu, Li Fengyun was in the second, and the third one was a young man in a green robe. Zhou Yun had seen this young man on the first day.

　　When Zhou Yun was provoked by Han Shuo and others, the expression on this young man's face was neither gloating nor indifference, but helplessness and pity. This also made Zhou Yun remember this man. At least, he was the kindest one in the heart among this group of noble young men, and the same was true for the noble young men around him.

　　"It seems that this person is Xie Changtian." Zhou Yun thought silently as he looked at the young man in a green robe. As if sensing that Zhou Yun was looking in his direction, Xie Changtian turned around slightly and gave Zhou Yun a kind smile.

　　Zhou Yun also responded with a smile, which was considered a greeting.

　　The three of them stood in the first row, while the second row had six people standing, and the leftmost position was vacant. At this time, most of the candidates had already stood in the queue, and Zhou Yun knew that the position was reserved for him.

　　"Go quickly." Li Xiaoxiao ran to the back of the team before letting go of Zhou Yun's hand.

　　"Yeah." Nodding, Zhou Yun walked to the first seat in the second row.

　　Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao arrived together. When the many Shenwei training camp students who were lining up saw the two of them still holding hands until they reached the back of the team, their expressions became complicated.

　　Naturally knowing what these people were thinking, Zhou Yun's expression remained calm, and he stood in his position without saying a word. Li Xiaoxiao also found her rightful position according to her ranking on the Emperor Elite List.

　　Most of the students have arrived, and at this moment the entire team is only missing three people. Those three students are also running here quickly. Yan Yin, who is sitting on the giant beast, still has no expression on his face, and it is unclear whether he is happy or angry. He is just waiting quietly.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun's attention was attracted by the monster under Yan Yin. Zhou Yun had never seen such a monster before, nor had he heard of such a monster on Tianyuan Continent. When he first saw this monster, Zhou Yun had some doubts in his heart. After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said about the boundary beast, Zhou Yun immediately connected the boundary beast with the monster in front of him.

　　"Could this be the boundary beast? But, could it be that General Yan Yin is also the one who opened his own boundary crystal world and gave birth to the boundary beast?" Looking at the monster, Zhou Yun couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

　　Just as Zhou Yun was thinking silently in his mind, suddenly, a slightly hostile gaze swept towards him.

　　Since the mysterious vein was opened, Zhou Yun's spiritual perception has been very sharp. As soon as the gaze passed by, Zhou Yun immediately felt it. Following the gaze, Zhou Yun immediately saw a young man who was separated from him and was looking at him coldly.

　　Zhou Yun was currently ranked fourth after the initial test of the Shenwei training camp, and the person standing next to him who was obviously a foreigner should be Wu Helianshan, who was ranked fifth. The one looking at him with hostility should be Lei Rong, who was ranked sixth.

　　"Could this be the prince's man as well?" After taking a calm look at Lei Rong, Zhou Yun immediately retracted his gaze. Although he didn't particularly care about Lei Rong's first place, Zhou Yun also became more cautious in his heart.

　　At this time, the remaining three Shenwei training camp students had all joined the team and found their own positions.

　　Feeling that all the students were in place, Yan Yin, who was sitting silently on the giant beast, also opened his eyes.

　　"Everyone, the preliminary test results of the first phase have come out. Your rankings can be seen on the Emperor Elite List. Next, I will announce the allocation of resources for the first month and the assessment items for this month."

　　Without a single unnecessary word, Yan Yin got straight to the point in his first sentence.

　　"The first place on the Emperor Elite List will get 200 hours of use of the ancient cultivation chamber. The second place will get 180 hours of use of the ancient cultivation chamber. The third place will get 150 hours of use of the ancient cultivation chamber. The fourth place will get 120 hours of use of the ancient cultivation chamber. The fifth place will get 100 hours of use of the ancient cultivation chamber..."

　　Still with a calm expression, Yan Yin announced the resource allocation situation step by step.

　　The top three on the Emperor Elite List this time received 200, 180, and 150 hours of ancient cultivation chamber usage time respectively. Zhou Yun, who was ranked fourth, received 120 hours, while Lei Rong only received 80 hours. The changes in the cultivation time obtained by the students after the top ten were not as great as those of the top few. For example, the 11th to 20th places all received 50 hours, the 21st to 30th places received 40 hours, and so on.

　　Although the students behind only got a few dozen hours, Zhou Yun could clearly feel the joy on these students' faces.

　　"It seems that this ancient secret room for training should be a very good thing. Could it be that Lei Rong is so hostile to me just because I suddenly rose to the fourth place and gave him less usage time?" Standing there, Zhou Yun was still thinking silently in his mind.

　　After the students below received their allocated usage time, they were all extremely happy. Some students even began to discuss with each other how to allocate this usage time.

　　However, Yan Yin, who was sitting on the giant beast, did not wait. After announcing the distribution of resources, Yan Yin immediately continued to read.

　　"In the next month, we will conduct the first field test. The No. 1 test room on the east side of the living area of ​​the Shenwei training camp is the venue for your field test in the next month. In the No. 1 test room, from the outer layer to the inner layer, there are beasts in the realm of bone training, tendon training, organ training and blood exchange, and even tendon and marrow cleansing. Your goal is to hunt down beasts and seize Yuan Dan. Among them, the Yuan Dan of beasts in the three realms of bone training are 50 points, 70 points and 100 points respectively. The Yuan Dan of beasts in the three realms of tendon training are 200 points, 250 points and 300 points respectively. The Yuan Dan of beasts in the three realms of organ training and blood exchange are 1,000 points, 2,000 points and 3,000 points. The Yuan Dan of beasts in the three realms of tendon and marrow cleansing are 10,000 points, 20,000 points and 40,000 points."

　　"Each candidate, please keep the Yuandan of the ferocious beasts you hunt well and put it in this ring. The ranking after one month will be calculated uniformly based on the points of the Yuandan obtained by each candidate from hunting ferocious beasts!" As he spoke, Yan Yin raised his right hand, and a silver ring was held up on his fingertips.

　　With a powerful swing, the rings on Yan Yin's fingers turned into fifty-eight, which flew out like a meteor shower and flew towards the fifty-eight candidates standing in front of him.

　　Although he was quite surprised by Yan Yin's move, Zhou Yun still raised his hand in time to catch the ring that Yan Yin threw to him.

　　Wearing the ring on the ring finger of his left hand, Zhou Yun slightly sensed the inside of the ring and found that the inside of the ring was a space of about three meters in radius. Judging from the size of the beast Yuandan, this ring could easily hold tens of thousands of them.

　　"Disband!" All that needed to be said had been said. Seeing that all the candidates had received the rings, Yan Yin immediately announced the disbandment and turned around and left on the giant beast.

　　As soon as Yan Yin left, everyone in the square immediately dispersed.

　　The alien man, Wu Helianshan, was the most silent. He led the other two alien students to his own small building. Lei Rong gave Zhou Yun a fierce look and turned away.

　　What surprised Zhou Yun the most was that the heroic Prince Li Fengyun did not show any hostility towards him during their meeting this time. Watching Li Fengyun's back as he left alone, Zhou Yun did not let down his guard.

　　"This Li Fengyun is a cunning and ruthless man." Although Zhou Yun remained silent, he still made an evaluation in his heart.

　　"Brother Zhou, I'm Xie Changtian, the prince of Jinghai. I'm honored to meet you, Brother Zhou." Just as Zhou Yun was thinking silently, a gentle voice suddenly came over.

　　Turning his head to look, Zhou Yun found that Xie Changtian, who was ranked third, was standing a little more than two meters in front of him, bowing to him. Xie Changtian chose this position very carefully, the distance between the two was neither far nor close, it was a very comfortable position.

　　When Zhou Yun just arrived here, Xie Changtian gave him a kind smile. Zhou Yun also had some good feelings towards this person.

　　"Your Highness, you are too polite. I am just a humble commoner and I do not deserve it." Zhou Yun hurriedly returned the greeting. Although he called himself a humble commoner, he was at ease and did not feel inferior to the other person because of his identity.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's polite and courteous response, Xie Changtian's eyes immediately showed admiration, and the smile on his face became more gentle. "Brother Zhou, although you are of humble origin, your cultivation is so high that it makes us so-called princes and nobles feel ashamed. I would like to invite Brother Zhou to my small building for a chat. I wonder if Zhou Yun would do me the honor?"

　　Xie Changtian's invitation was very polite. Although Zhou Yun didn't know this person at all, he was not prepared to refuse.

　　"Xie Changtian, Zhou Yun is not free today, he has to accompany me." Just as Zhou Yun was about to agree, a somewhat arrogant voice came over. It was Yuling County Princess Li Xiaoxiao.

　　Upon hearing this hurried voice, Xie Changtian's face actually showed a hint of helplessness, just like Zhou Yun when facing Li Xiaoxiao.

　　"Princess, I have something important to discuss with Brother Zhou. Do you think it's possible..." Although he felt helpless, Xie Changtian still asked Li Xiaoxiao politely.

　　"No!" Before Xie Changtian could finish his words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately interrupted him and said arrogantly, "Uncle Zhuang can't come in now. Zhou Yun is my bodyguard. I still have to discuss this assessment with him. After we finish talking, I will ask him to come find you."

　　Although Li Xiaoxiao's words were a bit overbearing, Xie Changtian didn't show any anger or humiliation on his face. Instead, there was a hint of doting in his eyes, as if Li Xiaoxiao was his biological sister.

　　"Okay." Nodding to Li Xiaoxiao, Xie Changtian turned to face Zhou Yun and said sternly, "Brother Zhou, you can practice in the living area in the future, but if you want to leave the living area and go to Examination Room No. 1, please be sure to come to my small building to chat before leaving."

　　"I understand. If nothing unexpected happens, I will go there today. Thank you, Prince." He roughly guessed in his heart what Xie Changtian's purpose was in looking for him, especially the last sentence, which clearly told Zhou Yun to find him before leaving the living area. This should be to tell Zhou Yun some ways to avoid danger.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun agreed, Xie Changtian did not stay. He bowed to Li Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yun respectively, then turned and left, walking towards his own small building.

　　"Let's go, Zhou Yun. I'll take you to see Sister Wanqiu to discuss the assessment this time." Seeing that Xie Changtian had left, Li Xiaoxiao once again grabbed Zhou Yun's hand and spoke happily.

　　"Ah!?" Zhou Yun was immediately stunned when he heard Li Xiaoxiao's words. Could it be that he really had to go on this training with the invaluable third princess of the current dynasty?

　　Chapter 122: A Promise Is a Deal

　　"Xiaoxiao, you discuss it with the Third Princess yourself, then tell me the arrangements and I will just follow them." Zhou Yun stopped and spoke with some embarrassment.

　　In fact, it was not that Zhou Yun was self-deprecating and felt that he was much worse than the princess of the dynasty. That feeling was very complicated. Although Zhou Yun would not look down on himself, the other party's status was too high. If they got along, Zhou Yun would indeed feel a little uncomfortable.

　　What's more, his good relationship with Li Xiaoxiao has aroused the jealousy of many people. If he goes to meet the princess, or even cooperates with the princess to go out for training, then Zhou Yun will really become the target of public criticism.

　　Moreover, Zhou Yun didn't really like the feeling of being a pretty boy. The current situation was as if Zhou Yun had hooked up with two powerful daughters and relied on their status to protect himself.

　　"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so restrained." Li Xiaoxiao stopped being pulled by Zhou Yun, turned around and looked at Zhou Yun, and immediately saw what Zhou Yun was thinking. Feeling very novel, Li Xiaoxiao immediately laughed out loud.

　　After meeting Zhou Yun for so long, Li Xiaoxiao has come to know him better. She found that when she was not familiar with him, Zhou Yun looked very mysterious and cunning. But once she got familiar with him, she found that he was actually a very simple person. She could easily guess some of Zhou Yun's thoughts, which Li Xiaoxiao found very interesting.

　　Zhou Yun didn't hide his thoughts after Li Xiaoxiao saw through them. He just nodded slightly and said, "I don't want others to say that I contacted you because I wanted to use your identity to protect myself."

　　Listening to Zhou Yun's solemn words, a smile appeared on Li Xiaoxiao's face.

　　Still holding Zhou Yun's hand, Li Xiaoxiao answered solemnly, "Zhou Yun, it's okay. I am your good friend, but others are not. Why should you care about what they think? When you get top three in the Shenwei training camp and become successful in the future, will anyone dare to say anything bad about you? Besides, this time it's not me who is protecting you, but you who is protecting me. Sister Wanqiu said that she is busy with cultivation and doesn't have that much time to accompany me, so this time she will take me for a while, and then you will take me for a while. With my current cultivation level, it is very likely to be dangerous if I go out alone."

　　After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Zhou Yun's heart was slightly touched. Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's pleading expression, Zhou Yun finally stopped insisting.

　　"Okay." Zhou Yun nodded and agreed.

　　"You agreed! That's great, let's go there quickly." Seeing Zhou Yun nod, Li Xiaoxiao immediately cheered happily and pulled Zhou Yun towards the small building of the third princess Li Wanqiu.

　　Li Wanqiu's small building was not far from Zhou Yun's small building. After a while, they arrived in front of Li Wanqiu's small building.

　　At the door, the red-clad soldier who had blocked Zhou Yun outside last night was still standing there with a stern face, but this time it was Li Xiaoxiao who brought Zhou Yun in, and the red-clad soldier did not stop Zhou Yun.

　　Entering Li Wanqiu's small building, Zhou Yun immediately discovered that the furnishings of this small building were almost identical to the one he lived in, without any difference. Seeing this, Zhou Yun couldn't help but admire the arrangement of the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　No matter what the status of the students in the Shenwei Training Camp is outside, at least, the most basic fairness can be guaranteed within the training camp.

　　Although the organizers of the training camp cannot restrict some noble sons from killing civilian geniuses, this visible fairness still needs to be maintained.

　　Arriving at Li Wanqiu's small building, Li Xiaoxiao felt like she was in her own territory. In fact, Li Xiaoxiao did treat this place as her own territory. Since entering the living area, Li Xiaoxiao has never been to her own small building. Except for last night at Zhou Yun's place, Li Xiaoxiao has been in this small building belonging to Li Wanqiu all the time.

　　Pulling Zhou Yun and wanting to go upstairs directly, Li Xiaoxiao said lively, "Zhou Yun, come up with me, Sister Wanqiu should be on the second floor."

　　Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao wanted to pull him upstairs directly, Zhou Yun immediately said, "Xiaoxiao, this is not good." Even if Li Wanqiu was not a princess, she was still a girl. It was really inappropriate for her to run directly to the second floor of a small building for girls.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's thoughts once again, she had more appreciation for him in her heart, but Li Xiaoxiao still insisted, "It's okay, we won't go to the third floor. Sister Wanqiu is already waiting for us in the study on the second floor."

　　After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Zhou Yun had no reason to refuse. He followed Li Xiaoxiao and they walked up the stairs together.

　　When they were about to step onto the second floor, Li Xiaoxiao seemed to suddenly think of something, her pretty face turned red, and she let go of Zhou Yun's hand.

　　Feeling Li Xiaoxiao's action, Zhou Yun also found it a little funny. This little girl is actually very shy.

　　In the study room on the second floor, three cushions have been placed on the couch by the window, and fragrant tea, cups and some delicious snacks have been prepared on the exquisite small table. As soon as you go upstairs, a faint fragrance immediately wafts out.

　　Next to the couch, a fairy-like white figure was sitting there quietly. Sensing someone coming upstairs, the woman in white stood up and gave Zhou Yun a gentle smile.

　　This was the first time that Zhou Yun looked at Li Wanqiu directly at such a close distance. Just by looking at her, a gentle and peaceful aura immediately came over him, making him feel very comfortable.

　　Li Wanqiu's appearance was naturally extremely beautiful, but seeing her made her feel more comfortable, without the kind of intense heartbeat-speeding surprise. This seemed to be because she was so noble that ordinary people didn't even have the courage to approach her, which led to this result.

　　Although Li Wanqiu's smile was gentle, Zhou Yun vaguely felt a hidden sharpness hidden in her body, like a sword.

　　"Greetings, Third Princess." Seeing Li Wanqiu stand up, Zhou Yun immediately bowed. This was the first time Zhou Yun had seen a member of the royal family, and at such a close distance.

　　"No need to be polite, please take a seat." A voice with a slightly ethereal atmosphere came, and Li Wanqiu raised her jade hand slightly, motioning Zhou Yun to sit opposite her.

　　Li Xiaoxiao had already run to the couch without any regard for age. Before Li Wanqiu and Zhou Yun sat down, she poured herself a cup of tea and began to sip it.

　　"Sister Wanqiu, the tea you brew tastes better and better." After taking a sip, Li Xiaoxiao immediately praised her. Seeing Li Wanqiu, Li Xiaoxiao did not feel nervous at all and seemed very casual and natural.

　　After looking at Li Xiaoxiao lovingly, Li Wanqiu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zhou Yun very elegantly.

　　The princess poured the tea herself, so Zhou Yun naturally didn't dare to sit there so openly. Although he didn't pick up the teacup, Zhou Yun still leaned forward and placed his hands on both sides of the teacup to show his respect.

　　Li Wanqiu just smiled slightly at Zhou Yun's cautious and courteous actions and didn't say much.

　　After sitting down, the two of them first tasted the fragrant tea in their cups. Li Xiaoxiao at this time was like a naughty child, drinking tea in small sips while picking delicious snacks from the table.

　　"Zhou Yun, I want to thank you for what you did last night. I'm busy practicing. Thank you for taking care of Xiaoxiao." Putting down the teacup, Li Wanqiu smiled and spoke to Zhou Yun.

　　Responding with a kind smile, Zhou Yun said, "The princess has taken good care of me, and this is what I should do." Although he usually calls Li Xiaoxiao by her name, Zhou Yun would not be so presumptuous at this time.

　　Nodding slightly, Li Wanqiu said to Zhou Yun, "I believe you have not used the ancient practice chamber of Shenwei Training Camp. The reason why I came to Shenwei Training Camp is actually for this ancient practice chamber. In the ancient practice chamber, a warrior's practice time in one day can be equivalent to the effect of ten days normally. Moreover, practicing there will also give you many insights that you can't get normally, so it is very important."

　　Upon hearing Li Wanqiu's words, Zhou Yun was immediately surprised, and some thoughts that already existed in his mind became clearer at this moment.

　　After listening to Li Xiaoxiao's explanation of the boundary crystal and the boundary crystal space, Zhou Yun concluded that the interior of Tianhuang Mountain was actually another world, a boundary crystal world that had been opened. And the so-called ancient cultivation chamber was probably the purest part of this boundary crystal world, or in other words, another pure boundary crystal space.

　　The space cultivation speed in the boundary crystal in Zhou Yun's hand is also very fast. Practicing in that inky world for one day is equivalent to many times the speed of Zhou Yun's usual practice outside. It's just that Zhou Yun has not specifically calculated how many times it is.

　　Knowing that Li Wanqiu had something else to say, Zhou Yun nodded silently without saying anything.

　　Sure enough, seeing Zhou Yun's reaction, Li Wanqiu smiled slightly and continued, "I have heard from Xiaoxiao that you also want to strive for the first place in this Shenwei training camp. I have no objection to this. As long as you have the ability, I will not set any obstacles for you. However, I originally planned to protect Xiaoxiao by myself. Since you plan to strive for the first place, and I also recognize your potential, then the task of protecting Xiaoxiao must be completed by us together. What do you think?"

　　"It's all up to the Third Princess to arrange it, and I thank the Third Princess for her understanding." Zhou Yun felt very comfortable when getting along with Li Wanqiu. That kind of consideration, fairness, gentleness and kindness were things Zhou Yun had never experienced among all the noble children in the capital. Even Lin Juntian, although he took good care of Zhou Yun, also had a bit of the attitude of a superior.

　　Zhou Yun also understood what Li Wanqiu said. Since Zhou Yun wanted to fight for the first place, Li Wanqiu would definitely be his competitor. In this case, it would be unfair for Li Wanqiu to spend a lot of time protecting Li Xiaoxiao and neglect practicing and achieving results.

　　Therefore, Li Wanqiu proposed that she and Zhou Yun share the responsibility of protecting Li Xiaoxiao.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun agreed, Li Wanqiu gave Zhou Yun another admiring look and said, "Let's decide this. For the next forty hours, which is a little over three days, we will practice together in the ancient practice chamber. After Xiaoxiao's practice time is up, I will be responsible for taking Xiaoxiao to the No. 1 examination room for training in the next eighty hours, which is seven days. After seven days, for the one hundred and sixty hours, which is thirteen days, you will take Xiaoxiao for training."

　　"No matter who takes Xiaoxiao to the No. 1 examination room for training, we have to give a quarter of the points for the beast essence pills we get to Xiaoxiao, because she also needs the time in the ancient training chamber. As for the last six days, each of us will take Xiaoxiao for three days. What do you think?"

　　After explaining his arrangements clearly, Li Wanqiu looked at Zhou Yun with his calm eyes, waiting for his answer.

　　While Li Wanqiu was speaking, Zhou Yun was also thinking. By the time Li Wanqiu finished speaking, Zhou Yun had figured out the whole thing.

　　Looking up, Zhou Yun said to Li Wanqiu, "Third Princess, if this is the arrangement, you will have six days less time to complete the task than me. You may suffer a loss in terms of obtaining Ferocious Beast Points by then."

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, a gentle and confident smile immediately appeared on Li Wanqiu's beautiful face. "That's nothing. Since you want to get first place in this Shenwei training camp, you must be prepared to face me. I will also accept your challenge. If you can use six more days than me and get a score that is within 20,000 points less than mine, I will recognize that you have the ability to challenge me."

　　Although her words were gentle, Li Wanqiu's speech was filled with extremely strong confidence.

　　Feeling Li Wanqiu's strong confidence, Zhou Yun's unwillingness to admit defeat was also activated.

　　"Okay, it's a deal!"

　　Chapter 123: Two-Way Cultivation

　　After leaving Li Wanqiu's small building, Zhou Yun's mind was still lingering on the agreement they had just made.

　　Zhou Yun actually had some confidence in hunting ferocious beasts. With Zhou Yun's current combat power, hunting ferocious beasts in the early stage of organ training and blood transfusion was not a problem. Moreover, this time, Li Wanqiu took Li Xiaoxiao to train first, and Zhou Yun was ranked behind Li Wanqiu.

　　That is to say, Zhou Yun can fully use up the one hundred and twenty hours in the ancient training chamber. One hundred and twenty hours is a full ten days. In addition to the accelerated training effect in the ancient training chamber, after this period of peaceful training, Zhou Yun's cultivation is likely to break through again.

　　If he could reach the peak of tendon training, Zhou Yun could even try to challenge the ferocious beasts in the middle stage of organ training and blood transfusion, which were high-scoring beasts with a score of two thousand points each.

　　Moreover, in addition to this advantage, Zhou Yun has another one, that is his spiritual perception. After the mysterious vein was opened, Zhou Yun's ability to sense and grasp the environment has become extremely strong. Zhou Yun can clearly feel the location of the ferocious beasts in the area of ​​hundreds of meters around him.

　　Having stayed in the Black Dragon Mountains for a long time, Zhou Yun knew that some ferocious beasts would not easily appear if they knew they were no match for their opponents. In this case, Zhou Yun would have a great advantage in finding ferocious beasts.

　　"Zhou Yun, what are you thinking about?" Li Xiaoxiao accompanied Zhou Yun out of Li Wanqiu's small building. They had already made an agreement that the three of them would directly enter the ancient training chamber to practice today. At this moment, Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao were walking towards the square below.

　　One of the four small towers is the location of the ancient secret training room.

　　"Nothing, I'm just wondering if I can win." With a smile on his face, Zhou Yun did not hide anything and directly told Li Xiaoxiao his thoughts.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately showed a funny look on her face, "Are you really going to win?"

　　"Yeah, what's wrong?" Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's expression, Zhou Yun said something strange. Li Xiaoxiao has always been very supportive of him. Why did she show such an expression when she heard that he wanted to win this time?

　　Looking at Zhou Yun seriously, Li Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Zhou Yun, don't worry too much about winning or losing this time. You are far from being able to beat Sister Wanqiu right now. If you can catch up with her by the end of the training camp, it will be very remarkable."

　　Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao, who always had a childish nature, showed such a serious expression, Zhou Yun couldn't help but nodded. It seemed that the third princess Li Wanqiu's cultivation was indeed very high.

　　However, if you don't work hard, how can you know if you can win? No matter what, the first place in the Shenwei training camp will have the opportunity to get a full set of Wanxiang Benlei Fist. With this temptation, Zhou Yun will try his best to sprint no matter what.

　　With all kinds of thoughts in their minds, they unknowingly walked to the small square below.

　　Walking side by side to a mysterious black tower, Li Xiaoxiao stopped and said to Zhou Yun, "Zhou Yun, this is the location of the ancient cultivation chamber. Sister Wanqiu will lead me first this time. So you can practice here for ten days until the allocated practice time is up and then come out."

　　Nodding, Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Okay, when you go out with the Third Princess to train, you must be careful and don't cause any trouble."

　　Seeing Zhou Yun smiling and instructing her, Li Xiaoxiao pouted again and said coquettishly, "Don't worry, I won't deliberately hold Sister Wanqiu back just to help you. With Sister Wanqiu leading me, I can at least make it into the top eight this time. If you work harder, I might even be able to make it into the top five."

　　"Okay, I will work hard." Looking at Li Xiaoxiao's cute appearance, Zhou Yun's mood also relaxed.

　　"Let's go in." Li Xiaoxiao smiled at Zhou Yun, then took Zhou Yun's hand again, and the two of them walked into the mysterious little tower together.

　　The door of the small tower was open, with a Flame Army soldier wearing red armor guarding each side of the door. When the two men walked in, the two red-armored soldiers in charge of guarding did not stop them.

　　As soon as he entered the entrance of the small tower, Zhou Yun immediately noticed something strange.

　　Originally, he and Li Xiaoxiao walked in holding hands, but after stepping into the dark door inside, Zhou Yun felt that Li Xiaoxiao's little hand was no longer in his palm.

　　Zhou Yun had heard from Li Xiaoxiao before that this ancient training chamber could accommodate all students at the same time, and everyone had their own exclusive space. Now it seemed that he and Li Xiaoxiao were assigned to different spaces.

　　But Zhou Yun didn’t quite understand what kind of force made him and Li Xiaoxiao’s hands, which were originally held together, loosen without any feeling.

　　"It seems that this ancient secret room for training is really extraordinary." Zhou Yun said silently as he continued to move forward in the darkness.

　　The passage in the small tower where the ancient training chamber was located was extremely long. After entering the passage, Zhou Yun had been moving forward in the darkness. He felt that he had been walking for almost half an hour, but there was still nothing else in front of him.

　　At this point, Zhou Yun began to wonder, "Could I have taken the wrong road? This is just a dark passage with no other exit."

　　Although he was very confused, it was obviously impossible to go back at this time. Zhou Yun tried his best to release his spiritual sense to check, but found that this was a straight road leading forward, about five meters wide, with no forks.

　　Since the road is not wrong, we can only continue on this path.

　　Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zhou Yun continued to move forward step by step. Suddenly, a strange feeling entered Zhou Yun's body along with his breath.

　　"The air here is so pure!" Breathing in the air that almost carried the fragrance of primitive earth, Zhou Yun felt refreshed, and all the negative emotions in his heart were gone at once.

　　Zhou Yun had not realized this problem when he was nervous just now, but as soon as he relaxed a little, he immediately captured this feeling clearly.

　　"This feeling is very familiar. The inky world inside the boundary crystal in my hand seems to feel just like this." Zhou Yun thought silently in his heart as he involuntarily slowed down his breathing.

　　Zhou Yun had always relied on his mind to enter the inky world in the boundary crystal in his hand. His body had never been able to enter. Therefore, his body was not very sensitive when capturing this kind of aura. But Zhou Yun had experienced this feeling after all. After the initial stage of exploration, Zhou Yun finally felt it.

　　"Although the natural cultivation speed in this area is far slower than that in my own crystal space, this doesn't seem to be the end yet. I can still move forward." Zhou Yun felt it as he walked.

　　After figuring this out, Zhou Yun started to move faster.

　　After adjusting his breathing to a stable and peaceful level, Zhou Yun began to run forward at a steady speed. As Zhou Yun continued to move forward, the purity of the surrounding dark and mysterious world became higher and higher.

　　Running here, you will hardly feel tired, and the strength of your true power will continue to increase slightly.

　　"This feeling is so wonderful!" Feeling everything around him, Zhou Yun couldn't help but shout in his heart.

　　Although Zhou Yun himself owns a piece of boundary crystal and often goes to the inky world in the boundary crystal to practice, after all, it is just a form condensed in the boundary crystal world, not Zhou Yun's real body. Therefore, the impact of the boundary crystal space on Zhou Yun is far less powerful than if Zhou Yun personally enters such a mysterious space.

　　Finally, after running forward for another hour, Zhou Yun realized through his spiritual perception that the passage he was walking on had reached the end and the exit was just ahead.

　　"We're almost there." Zhou Yun took two quick steps forward and leaped out of the dark passage with great force.

　　call!

　　Suddenly, a whole new world came into Zhou Yun's sight, and an unusually pure experience immediately entered Zhou Yun's body.

　　Feeling the emptiness and purity of everything around him, Zhou Yun couldn't help but look up and take a deep breath.

　　The world in front of him was a vast world with a hint of black and gray, as if the world had not yet been created, and it was a chaos. In this chaos, Zhou Yun only needed to stand here, and he could feel that his inner strength and physical strength were growing rapidly.

　　"Student Zhou Yun, this area is your exclusive space for the ancient practice chamber. You can move freely here. From now on, the timer for your use of the ancient practice chamber officially begins. This month, student Zhou Yun has a total of 120 hours of use of the ancient practice chamber. Please allocate it reasonably according to your own situation." A majestic and somewhat rigid voice came from afar and entered Zhou Yun's ears.

　　Hearing this voice, Zhou Yun knew that the time for him to use the ancient training chamber had begun.

　　Walking forward slowly, Zhou Yun came to the center of the space. Standing on the open space, Zhou Yun began to breathe deeply.

　　While breathing silently, Zhou Yun was still thinking about how he should use these 120 hours of training time.

　　Now, Zhou Yun's combat skills and true strength are already very strong, but if he continues to improve, there is still room for improvement. Li Wanqiu also said that everything in the ancient training chamber is extremely pure, and if you practice actual combat skills here, you will gain a lot of new experiences.

　　But in this space, Zhou Yun thought of the four mysterious people he met in the Black Dragon Mountains at that time.

　　Before they parted, Meng Qingchen, whose face Zhou Yun could not see clearly, gave Zhou Yun a reminder that the level of cultivation was the core of a warrior's ability. If one was obsessed with honing his tactics when there was still a lot of room for improvement in his cultivation, it would be a waste of time.

　　"My current cultivation level has not only not reached the level of training the internal organs and exchanging blood, it has not even reached the peak of training the tendons. Moreover, my mastery of the Myriad Things Thunder Fist and the Shadow Knife Sect's secret techniques has reached a certain level. At this time, studying combat skills is not as important as improving my cultivation level." Recalling Meng Qingchen's reminder to him, Zhou Yun secretly sorted out his current situation and made a decision in his heart.

　　Now Zhou Yun can cultivate the body condensed in the boundary crystal space together with the external body. Since there is such a good environment here, which can allow the condensed body in the boundary crystal space to grow together with the body, Zhou Yun will naturally not let it go.

　　After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun had a plan in mind.

　　With a slight movement of his right hand, the mysterious crystal appeared in Zhou Yun's hand. With a slight movement of his mind, Zhou Yun's consciousness had already entered the vast inky space.

　　Controlling his condensed body and main body, Zhou Yun simultaneously performed the starting posture of the Universal Thunder Posture in the ancient training chamber and his own crystal space. He began to adjust his breathing little by little according to the essentials of the Universal Thunder Posture and slowly practiced the power.

　　Suddenly, in the dark space, layers of lightning began to surround Zhou Yun's condensed body. And on Zhou Yun's body in the ancient training chamber, a blue light with an amplitude almost no weaker than that of Zhou Yun also appeared on Zhou Yun's body.

　　After adjusting the breathing of the main body and the condensed body to the same frequency, Zhou Yun relaxed his mind and began his two-way practice!

　　Chapter 124 Electric Shock Tempering

　　In a blink of an eye, five days had passed since Zhou Yun used the ancient training chamber. During these five days, Zhou Yun did not even change his posture. He had been accumulating true energy and lightning power based on the Universal Thunder Post.

　　During his practice, Zhou Yun suddenly discovered a phenomenon that was extremely beneficial to him.

　　That is, practicing in this ancient secret room will not only speed up the practice of the main body, but also the practice speed of the condensed body in his crystal space will be much faster.

　　Moreover, during this kind of practice, Zhou Yun's body gradually established a mysterious connection with the condensed body in the boundary crystal world.

　　It was not until he felt this mysterious connection that Zhou Yun figured out the mystery behind it.

　　"It seems that there is a power channel between the condensed body in the boundary crystal world and my main body. The cultivation speed in the condensed body is very fast. Although the main body has not directly felt this speed, it is an indisputable fact that the main body's power growth rate has increased. It seems that no matter whether it is the main body or the condensed body, as long as one of them is practicing, the other will also grow." Feeling the changes in his body, Zhou Yun thought silently in his heart.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun had already thought of this. Before, when Zhou Yun practiced in the crystal world, although his body did not feel much, every time he finished practicing, his body's power would increase for no reason. Now it seems that the condensed body in the crystal world must have transmitted its power to the body through some channel to cause this situation.

　　Now, Zhou Yun's body has also achieved a cultivation speed that is not inferior to the condensed body in the boundary crystal world. Naturally, Zhou Yun's true power strength and cultivation have experienced an explosive and rapid increase.

　　In the ancient training chamber, Zhou Yun was still practicing non-stop. At this time, in the No. 1 examination room outside the living area of ​​the Shenwei Training Camp, many candidates had already begun hunting ferocious beasts to gain points.

　　During the initial test, students who rank lower in the rankings have less time using the ancient training chamber, so they can have much more time than students who rank higher in the rankings to hunt ferocious beasts. This is also to balance the gap between students.

　　It can be said that the Shenwei training camp does a good job in fairness.

　　Examination Hall No. 1 of the Shenwei Training Camp is a vast mountain with rugged rocks and lush trees, giving people a gloomy feeling at first glance.

　　At this moment, most of the students who had finished their training in the ancient training chamber were ranked relatively low. After entering Examination Room No. 1, these students did not dare to go too deep into the center of the examination room. They could only hunt some ferocious beasts of the third level of bone training on the periphery and accumulate points with great difficulty.

　　However, this is not the case for all students in Examination Room No. 1.

　　Halfway up the giant mountain, two pretty figures, one in red and one in white, were walking together towards the depths of the giant mountain of Examination Hall No. 1.

　　These two people were the Third Princess Li Wanqiu and Princess Yuling Li Xiaoxiao. As they continued to go deeper into the center of the giant mountain, the road under their feet became more and more difficult to walk. Suddenly, a dark light flew over from a distance of 100 meters away, and in an instant it was less than 30 meters away from the two.

　　Feeling threatened by the dark light, Li Wanqiu remained calm and raised her jade hand slightly. Suddenly, a white light rushed towards the dark device rapidly.

　　puff!

　　The two beams of light collided, and suddenly, a burst of blood flowers floated in the air. Then, with a plop, a round object fell to the ground. After the white light passed through the dark light, it turned back and returned to Li Wanqiu's hand again, disappearing.

　　"Sister Wanqiu, your Liuguang Sword Technique is getting more and more powerful. You've taken down another one." Following behind Li Wanqiu, Li Xiaoxiao cheered immediately when she saw the ferocious beast that wanted to launch a sneak attack in front of her being killed.

　　Li Xiaoxiao flashed out from behind Li Wanqiu and ran straight up.

　　In the messy grass, a small gray animal was lying there. There was a huge bloody hole on its neck, and blood was gushing out. It was obviously dead.

　　At this time, Li Wanqiu also followed and stood beside Li Xiaoxiao.

　　"Yes, it's a ferocious beast called the Ghost-faced Beast, which is in the middle stage of internal organ blood transfusion." Looking at the ferocious beast on the ground, Li Wanqiu spoke slowly with a calm expression.

　　Then, a white light flashed in his hand, and suddenly, the head of the ghost-faced beast was cut open, and a round bead fell out, which was the ghost-faced beast's Yuandan.

　　"Sister Wanqiu, the first three beasts in the middle stage of organ blood exchange are yours, this one should be mine." With a happy shout, Li Xiaoxiao put the beast's Yuandan directly into her ring.

　　According to the agreement, whether it is Zhou Yun or Li Wanqiu, one quarter of the points they get must be given to Li Xiaoxiao. Therefore, although Li Xiaoxiao did not contribute much, she can still get the points that belong to her.

　　Li Xiaoxiao has been practicing with Li Wanqiu in Examination Room No. 1 for more than a day. In such a short period of time, Li Xiaoxiao has actually obtained more than 8,000 points.

　　When she thought of this, Li Xiaoxiao felt overjoyed.

　　After putting away the Yuan Dan, Li Xiaoxiao immediately said to Li Wanqiu beside her, "Sister Wanqiu, our speed is really too fast. In this way, as long as Zhou Yun is a little more powerful, I can even enter the top five. Next time, I can use the ancient cultivation chamber for a hundred hours. Sister Wanqiu, the chamber is really useful. I practiced for forty hours, and the effect is almost better than a year."

　　Looking at Li Xiaoxiao's childish appearance, Li Wanqiu shook his head helplessly, "That's because you haven't practiced well for a year."

　　Although the effect of the ancient training chamber was very good, it was only ten times faster than outside. Three days of training was equivalent to thirty days of training. If three days was equivalent to a whole year, it would be a joke.

　　Li Xiaoxiao showed a hint of embarrassment after being exposed by Li Wanqiu. "Sister Wanqiu, please stop exposing my shortcomings. I will just work hard in the future. Besides, with you protecting me, what do I have to fear?"

　　Looking at Li Xiaoxiao's innocent little face, Li Wanqiu gently raised her hand and stroked Li Xiaoxiao's hair. Without saying anything else, Li Wanqiu once again took the lead and continued to move towards the top of the giant mountain.

　　"Sister Wanqiu, do we still need to go up?" Li Xiaoxiao was a little anxious when she saw Li Wanqiu's actions. "Sister Wanqiu, the beasts that appear here are all in the middle stage of practicing internal organs and exchanging blood. If we go up, we may see beasts at the peak of practicing internal organs and exchanging blood, or even beasts at the level of Yijin Xisui. It's too dangerous."

　　Facing Li Xiaoxiao's questioning, Li Wanqiu's face showed no extra expression, but just smiled slightly, "Zhou Yun can hunt beasts more than me. If I don't kill some high-level beasts, I might really lose to him. Xiaoxiao, come quickly, it's okay."

　　Seeing Li Wanqiu's gentle smile, Li Xiaoxiao's worries finally dissipated. No matter what, she still trusted Li Wanqiu's strength. Li Xiaoxiao knew that her sister was about to enter the realm of martial saint. Moreover, she practiced the extremely powerful sword pavilion technique.

　　As one of the five largest sects in the Middle-earth, Jiange's swordsmanship has always been the most powerful in the world, and Li Wanqiu is the best among them. His Liuguang Sword Technique has reached the level of perfection.

　　Li Wanqiu's purpose in coming to the Shenwei Training Camp this time was to gain new insights in the environment of the ancient training chamber to help her break through the limitations of the peak of organ training and blood transfusion and truly break into the realm of Martial Saint.

　　It now seems that Li Wanqiu is not far from a real breakthrough.

　　Although her cultivation was not profound, Li Xiaoxiao knew a lot about cultivation. She knew that if she wanted to gain that kind of insight before entering the realm of martial saint, she had to go through many difficult life-and-death battles. Now, Li Wanqiu's goal was exactly this, and even if she followed her, it would not change Li Wanqiu's mind.

　　"Really? Why does a princess like her have to work so hard?" Looking at Li Wanqiu's back, Li Xiaoxiao pouted in dissatisfaction, but still quickly caught up with her.

　　Li Wanqiu took Li Xiaoxiao to hunt ferocious beasts in the depths of the giant mountain in Examination Hall No. 1. At this time, Zhou Yun, who was staying in the ancient training chamber, had entered the most critical moment of his training.

　　Now, there are less than two hours left before Zhou Yun's use of the ancient training chamber ends. Ten days have passed in a flash, and Zhou Yun has also gained what he deserves.

　　Within ten days, Zhou Yun's cultivation had advanced from the middle stage of tendon training to the peak stage of tendon training!

　　Now Zhou Yun can start to strive for the realm of internal organ blood transfusion.

　　The main body and the condensed body stood on two empty pieces of land respectively. Zhou Yun, who had been maintaining the Universal Thunder Stake, finally took action and opened all the restrictions in his body. Zhou Yun suddenly released extremely strong lightning, almost using all his strength to stimulate the power of lightning, which madly impacted his body.

　　Zhou Yun knew that if he wanted to improve his cultivation to the point where he could strengthen his organs and exchange his blood, he had to make his body completely pure. To achieve this state, there were only two methods he could choose from.

　　The first one is to possess a profound secret book of organ training and blood transfusion, which contains the secret method of tempering the body, which can remove all impurities and hidden injuries in the body and bring the body into a perfect state.

　　But obviously, Zhou Yun did not have such conditions. He killed Han Shuo, who had the ability to practice internal organ blood transfusion, but there was no secret book of internal organ blood transfusion in Han Shuo's space ring.

　　The second way, of course, is to temper the body by using powerful natural treasures to make one's body reach perfection. In the world, there are many secret treasures that have such effects, but Zhou Yun does not have any of these precious secret treasures.

　　But the lack of these conditions does not mean that Zhou Yun has no way to reach the level of internal organ training and blood transfusion.

　　Under such circumstances, Zhou Yun thought of a solution that was not a solution, which was to use his own lightning power to temper himself, allowing the impurities in his body to be catalyzed out by his own lightning, thereby achieving the purpose of purifying his body.

　　After thinking of this method, Zhou Yun immediately started to experiment.

　　"Ah!!" Looking up, in the two vast worlds inside and outside, Zhou Yun's original body and condensed body simultaneously howled towards the sky. Amidst the horrifying howls, waves of lightning power released from Zhou Yun's Dantian Qi Sea began to run wildly in Zhou Yun's body.

　　Ziz…ziz…ziz…

　　Strong electric shock sounds kept ringing in Zhou Yun's ears, and waves of numbness also attacked him.

　　Since he did not use any internal energy to protect himself, it could be said that Zhou Yun was now using his own physical strength to withstand the powerful lightning he had generated.

　　Surrounded by waves of blue light, Zhou Yun's hair had completely stood up and he was in a state of madness.

　　Under this constant electric shock tempering, Zhou Yun felt that the impurities in his body were being eliminated bit by bit.

　　Chapter 125 Lightning Armor

　　Electric shock to temper the body is a method that Zhou Yun came up with after considering it for a long time. Although it is extremely painful to implement, Zhou Yun doesn't mind doing it as long as it is effective.

　　Although the current situation is temporarily stable, there are still many dangers in the Shenwei Training Camp. Until now, Zhou Yun is not sure what the outcome will be if he meets Li Fengyun one-on-one.

　　Moreover, in addition to Li Fengyun, I believe there are many forces from the Prince's faction in this training camp. Zhou Yun must be careful against these people. What's more, there is also Lei Rong who has shown hostility towards him. These people must not be ignored.

　　Now there is a strong sense of urgency in Zhou Yun's heart that keeps pushing him forward, because Zhou Yun knows that even if he can leave the Shenwei training camp safely, there will still be a huge storm waiting for him outside.

　　Ziz…ziz…ziz…

　　Supported by the will in his heart, Zhou Yun endured the pain and used the lightning power emanating from his dantian to temper his body over and over again. But gradually, Zhou Yun discovered that the effect of this method was not that good.

　　At the beginning, some impurities were indeed squeezed out of the body by the lightning power emitted by Zhou Yun, but as time went on, some key nodes could not be broken through no matter what.

　　Most of the impurities in the body were cleared, but Zhou Yun could not clear away some shadows in the five internal organs and dantian. Moreover, if he forcibly guided the lightning into the five internal organs, Zhou Yun might die.

　　Zhou Yun didn't dare to take such a risk.

　　"It still doesn't work." Feeling that the lightning power he emitted could not enter his five internal organs and dantian, Zhou Yun finally gathered all of this lightning power.

　　This tempering lasted for an hour. The body became much purer, but it was still some distance away from breaking through to the stage of internal organ training and blood transfusion.

　　"Do I really have to get a secret book on training organs and exchanging blood, or a precious treasure from heaven and earth, to break through this shackles?" Standing there, Zhou Yun adjusted his breathing, muttering to himself.

　　Although this attempt to train the internal organs for blood transfusion failed, Zhou Yun did not gain nothing.

　　Just now, when the lightning power emanating from Dantian was spinning wildly in his body, Zhou Yun unexpectedly figured out a method of using lightning to form a net and set up defenses in his body.

　　You know, before entering the realm of training the internal organs and exchanging blood, the thing that warriors fear most is encountering a warrior in this realm who uses his true power outside his body to attack. Being attacked by the opponent's true power entering the body and rushing around will generally cause great harm to the warrior, or even direct death.

　　But just now, Zhou Yun has worked out a method of setting up a heavy lightning grid under the body surface to block the enemy's true power invasion.

　　According to the route Zhou Yun set up, as long as the lightning power in Dantian circulates autonomously in the body, even if the opponent's out-of-body true power directly hits Zhou Yun's body, it will not cause too much damage to Zhou Yun's internal organs. Because the lightning power arranged in the body has the effect of rebounding, which can bounce back the true power that enters the body one by one.

　　This was also the conclusion Zhou Yun came to after he had mobilized the power of thunder and lightning several times and tried to attack the five internal organs but failed.

　　Zhou Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry because he didn't succeed in breaking into the realm of internal organ training and blood transfusion, but somehow he created a set of lightning armor defense skills.

　　"Student Zhou Yun, the time for your use of the ancient training chamber has expired, please leave immediately!" Just as Zhou Yun was feeling his own situation and smiling bitterly, a majestic and rigid voice suddenly came over.

　　Hearing this voice, Zhou Yun knew that after ten days, the time for using his ancient training chamber had expired.

　　Without stopping, Zhou Yun stood up and walked towards the dark area in the distance. That darkness was the passage when Zhou Yun entered the ancient training chamber. He came in from there, so naturally he would go out from there.

　　When he reached the dark doorway, Zhou Yun leaped up and was immediately plunged into darkness.

　　Releasing his spiritual sense to sense the surrounding roads, Zhou Yun ran steadily all the way, and it took him just over an hour to pass this deep and narrow road.

　　Zhou Yun only felt a flash of light in the distance and appeared outside the small tower.

　　Zhou Yun couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

　　"Brother Zhou." Suddenly, a gentle voice came over. Zhou Yun looked in the direction of the voice and found that Xie Changtian was standing five or six meters away from him. At this moment, except for Xie Changtian, there was no one else around, which made Zhou Yun a little strange.

　　Seeing Xie Changtian, Zhou Yun immediately clasped his fists and said, "My Lord, are you waiting for me here on purpose?"

　　With a smile on his face, Xie Changtian said, "Yes, Brother Zhou went straight into the ancient cultivation chamber as soon as his results were announced, and he forgot about my entrustment. There is no other way, I can only wait here."

　　Upon hearing Xie Changtian's words, Zhou Yun immediately showed a somewhat unnatural look on his face. With a bit of apology, Zhou Yun said, "I was so anxious to practice that I indeed forgot what the prince had told me. It's my fault."

　　Waving his hand slightly, Xie Changtian's expression remained calm, "Brother Zhou, since you have remembered now, I will go back to my small building first. After you pack up, please come over to chat with me."

　　"Why not now?" After a slight pause, Zhou Yun asked in confusion. If they wanted to talk, wouldn't it be a good time to go now?

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Xie Changtian also showed a hint of amusement on his face, and wrinkled his nose slightly. Xie Changtian said, "I think, Brother Zhou, you should go back to your small building to tidy up first. Xie will be waiting for you at the residence."

　　After saying this, Xie Changtian immediately turned around and walked towards his own small building.

　　Looking at Xie Changtian's back, Zhou Yun suddenly thought of something. Xie Changtian's wrinkled nose just now was clearly to resist some bad smell. Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately smelled himself.

　　Suddenly, a sour smell entered Zhou Yun's nostrils. It turned out that when Zhou Yun used lightning to temper his body, many impurities in his body had been forced out by lightning and were now covering his body surface. Naturally, the smell of these impurities was not so good.

　　Looking at Xie Changtian's back, Zhou Yun also felt embarrassed and shook his head helplessly. Zhou Yun started to jog and rushed towards his own small building.

　　After returning to his own small building, Zhou Yun's first thing was naturally to take a shower.

　　After instructing the red-clad soldier to prepare bath water for him, Zhou Yun jumped directly into the bathtub. All of a sudden, the originally clear water slowly turned black as if ink had been dropped into it.

　　After soaking in the hot water, Zhou Yun immediately felt his mind relaxed, and he began to think about the breakthrough in his cultivation.

　　Zhou Yun could feel that although he had reached the peak of his tendon training, his true strength still had a lot of room for growth. In fact, he didn't need to rush to break through at this time.

　　But Zhou Yun didn't think like that. After hearing the secret of the Realm Crystal told to him by Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun knew that even if he entered the realm of Martial Saint, he would not be considered a first-rate master in the Tianyuan Continent. If he wanted to have the power to protect himself, Zhou Yun had to become even stronger.

　　Therefore, reaching the level of Martial Saint is the minimum that Zhou Yun must possess. Only by reaching the level of Martial Saint will Zhou Yun truly have some power to resist when facing a true master.

　　If one wants to break into the realm of Martial Saint, one must at least pass the stage of organ training and blood transfusion.

　　"It would be great if I could get the secret manual behind the All-Seeing Thunder Fist." Thinking about the difficulties he was currently facing, Zhou Yun couldn't help but mutter to himself.

　　Just at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the bottom of the small building. Obviously, someone was approaching the small building.

　　"Zhou Yun! Where are you? Come out quickly!" Then, a lively female voice came over. Hearing this voice, Zhou Yun immediately jumped out of the bathtub. The true energy in his dantian surged rapidly, and the water droplets on Zhou Yun's body had been completely evaporated by the true energy.

　　call!

　　After grabbing a new set of clothes, Zhou Yun was fully dressed after two breaths.

　　At this time, Li Xiaoxiao's footsteps had already appeared at the stairs. Seeing Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao immediately showed a puzzled look on her face, "Hey, Zhou Yun, you seem to be a lot whiter."

　　Today was the day that Li Wanqiu and Zhou Yun replaced each other as per the agreement. They had just returned from Examination Room No. 1. At this time, Li Wanqiu had already entered the ancient practice chamber again to continue using her practice time, and Li Xiaoxiao naturally came to Zhou Yun.

　　The first time she saw Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao immediately felt that Zhou Yun was a little different from ten days ago. He seemed to be much whiter and more transparent.

　　"Of course I'm fair after taking a shower." Zhou Yun thought to himself, rolling his eyes helplessly.

　　Taking two steps forward, Zhou Yun stopped Li Xiaoxiao and led her downstairs. "Xiaoxiao, let's go downstairs and talk. It's not very convenient here."

　　"Is there any inconvenience..." Seeing that Zhou Yun wanted to take her downstairs directly, Li Xiaoxiao pouted a little dissatisfied, but then she saw the bathtub behind Zhou Yun, and there were dirty clothes and spilled water droplets next to it.

　　In an instant, Li Xiaoxiao understood what Zhou Yun had just done. Her pretty face turned red all of a sudden. Li Xiaoxiao was led down the stairs by Zhou Yun like a puppet.

　　The two of them came to the study together, and even when they sat there, a blush still remained on Li Xiaoxiao's face.

　　"Okay, don't be shy, this thing is for you." Looking at Li Xiaoxiao's cute red face, Zhou Yun couldn't help but smile, and the embarrassment in his heart had long disappeared.

　　The more they got along, the more Zhou Yun felt that Li Xiaoxiao was indeed a very real and lovely girl.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun say that he wanted to give her something, Li Xiaoxiao felt a little relieved from her shyness. She raised her head and looked at Zhou Yun's hand.

　　"Hey, isn't this the ice cicada silk inner armor?" Li Xiaoxiao immediately exclaimed in surprise when she saw what Zhou Yun was holding.

　　"Yes, put this on. We are going to Examination Room No. 1 to hunt ferocious beasts together later. Wearing this will make you safer." With a slight smile, Zhou Yun handed over the thing in his hand.

　　"Then what will you do yourself?" After taking the inner armor handed to her by Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao felt a little sweet in her heart, but she still said to Zhou Yun with some concern.

　　With a mysterious expression on his face, Zhou Yun blinked and said, "I have something better."

　　Chapter 126: Winning Over

　　The better thing Zhou Yun was talking about was naturally the lightning armor he had just figured out. In terms of the effect of resisting true power attacks, Zhou Yun's lightning armor was indeed stronger than the ice cicada silk armor.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun said so, Li Xiaoxiao stopped insisting.

　　"Zhou Yun, when are we setting off?" Holding the ice cicada silk armor in her hand, Li Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Yun with her sparkling eyes and spoke expectantly.

　　In the past five days, she has been following Li Wanqiu and has earned more than 100,000 points. Such gains make Li Xiaoxiao extremely happy. Now, her enthusiasm for earning points has become very high.

　　Li Xiaoxiao even thought in her heart that as long as Zhou Yun could work harder, she could even get fourth place.

　　Seeing the girl in front of him with an excited and expectant look, Zhou Yun was also a little surprised, "What's wrong? Are you so keen on practicing now?"

　　Feeling a little embarrassed by Zhou Yun's teasing look, Li Xiaoxiao stammered, "I just want to get a good grade. Sister Wanqiu has helped me to gain a lot of points these days. If you work harder, I might be able to get fourth place."

　　"Oh? How many points did you get now?" Zhou Yun raised his eyebrows and couldn't help asking when he heard Li Xiaoxiao's words. It seemed that Li Wanqiu's fighting was indeed very strong, but I didn't know how many points she had gotten in these days.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao's face immediately showed a hint of ridicule. Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's expression, Zhou Yun suddenly realized that this question really shouldn't be asked.

　　"Okay, I won't ask any more questions. You go back and change your clothes. I'll go to see Prince Xie Changtian, and then we'll leave immediately." All the things that needed to be solved were almost solved, and Zhou Yun was ready to leave for Examination Room No. 1.

　　I have just gotten the information from Li Xiaoxiao's expression. Li Wanqiu must have earned a lot of points in the past six days. If Zhou Yun wants to take first place, he cannot lose to her.

　　"Okay, we'll gather at the exit later, so be quick." Finally, the time to set off had arrived. Li Xiaoxiao immediately became happy, waved to Zhou Yun, and went downstairs happily.

　　Li Xiaoxiao had already left, and Zhou Yun also stood up and tidied his appearance. After making sure that he had not done anything impolite, Zhou Yun followed him downstairs and walked towards Xie Changtian's small building.

　　After a moment, Zhou Yun was already standing in front of the small building where Xie Changtian lived.

　　"Brother Zhou is here, please come in." Because of the agreement just now, Xie Changtian did not go upstairs, but waited on the first floor of the small building. Seeing Zhou Yun through the open door, Xie Changtian immediately stood up to greet him.

　　"Greetings, Prince." After politely bowing to Xie Changtian, Zhou Yun walked into Xie Changtian's small building.

　　"Brother Zhou, I have prepared the best Yunwu tea. Please follow me to the study." After a few brief greetings, Xie Changtian took Zhou Yun to the stairs of the small building.

　　"Thank you, Prince." Knowing that the hall on the first floor was not a place for conversation, Zhou Yun did not refuse. He followed Xie Changtian and went up the stairs to the second floor.

　　Every small building in the living area of ​​the Shenwei Training Camp is exactly the same. Zhou Yun is also very familiar with the structure of the small building. With ease, the two of them came to the study room of the small building.

　　The host and the guest sat down, Xie Changtian poured the tea, and looked at Zhou Yun carefully before speaking again, "Brother Zhou is indeed extremely talented. After ten days of training, Brother Zhou's cultivation has improved. I admire him."

　　Listening to Xie Changtian's greetings, Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to beat around the bush. If you have anything to ask me, just tell me directly."

　　In fact, when he came here this time, Zhou Yun had already guessed what Xie Changtian was thinking, which was nothing more than wanting to recruit him for the prince he served. Judging from Xie Changtian's familiarity with Li Wanqiu and Li Xiaoxiao, Xie Changtian should also be a subordinate of the eighth prince Li Yan.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun being so straightforward, Xie Changtian was slightly stunned, but then he started to laugh, "Brother Zhou is indeed a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. I asked you to come here today for only one thing, which is to invite you to work for the Eighth Prince together with me."

　　Knowing that Xie Changtian must have something else to say, Zhou Yun did not rush to express his opinion, but waited silently.

　　Sure enough, seeing Zhou Yun remained calm, Xie Changtian continued, "In the reception square, the Third Princess once rescued Brother Zhou, and Princess Yuling has a special relationship with the Third Princess and the Eighth Prince. With this relationship, I believe that with Brother Zhou's kindness and righteousness, he will definitely have more inclinations towards the Eighth Prince."

　　"Moreover, in my opinion, the Eighth Prince is the one with the highest cultivation, the most talent, and the best moral character among the three princes currently competing for the divine weapon. Being able to assist the Eighth Prince in winning this battle for the throne will not only win a worry-free future for myself, but will also benefit the world."

　　"Brother Zhou has offended the Crown Prince now, so it is impossible for him to join His Royal Highness's camp. The Third Prince is scheming and his subordinates are mostly ruthless, so it is not a good destination for Brother Zhou either. I noticed that day that Lei Rong, who represented the Third Prince, had already shown hostility towards Brother Zhou. If Brother Zhou cannot find a strong supporter, I am afraid that his future will be difficult as well."

　　Xie Changtian's words were well-reasoned and straightforward, which made Zhou Yun look up to him.

　　In this speech, Xie Changtian started from the perspectives of closeness, the general situation in the world and Zhou Yun's current situation, covering almost all the key points that Zhou Yun was considering.

　　Just as Xie Changtian said, Zhou Yun was indeed taken care of by Li Wanqiu and Li Xiaoxiao this time in the Shenwei training camp. Under such circumstances, the Eighth Prince, as Li Wanqiu's younger brother, should be Zhou Yun's first choice. This is a matter of friendship.

　　Secondly, according to rumors, the Eighth Prince is the best among the three princes in terms of cultivation, virtue and talent. It is only because he is the youngest that he is at a disadvantage in the fight for the throne, but this disadvantage is not irreversible. Choosing such a prince, if he can be promoted to the throne, is also a good thing for the benefit of the world. This is a matter of the general trend of the world and the morality of history books.

　　The third point is Zhou Yun’s current situation. He has offended the crown prince and is not suitable to go to the third prince. He has even been vaguely hostile to Lei Rong under the third prince. If he wants to get a safe space for development in this Shenwei training camp and even in the future, it is very necessary to find a backer.

　　Having finished what he was saying, Xie Changtian calmed down and waited silently for Zhou Yun's reply.

　　Xie Changtian is sincerely working for the Eighth Prince Li Yan. All the Eighth Prince's subordinates have one characteristic in common, that is, they are extremely loyal to the Eighth Prince. Although the number of the Eighth Prince's subordinates is small, they have the strongest cohesion.

　　Each of them is also doing their best to work for the Eighth Prince, and attracting more powerful people to join is the most critical link. In Xie Changtian's view, although Zhou Yun came from a humble background, he has a very bright future.

　　Character, level of cultivation, degree of effort, and even the forces represented behind the scenes are all excellent choices.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun was also thinking in his heart. In fact, he was not too opposed to the recruitment of the Eighth Prince. Although Zhou Yun had heard about the Eighth Prince many times, especially looking at the people around him, Zhou Yun could judge that the Eighth Prince must be no simple man.

　　What's more, Zhou Yun still owed Li Wanqiu and Li Xiaoxiao a favor. However, this matter was indeed not something Zhou Yun could decide.

　　Looking up at Xie Changtian opposite him, Zhou Yun said frankly, "Prince, I am very grateful for your appreciation of me. But I am now a member of the Lin family. It is not up to me to decide which prince to support in the future battle for the throne. It depends on the Lin family's ideas. But personally, I have no objection to being assigned to the Eighth Prince. If the Lin family has such an intention in the future, I will be happy to accept it."

　　Zhou Yun thought about this for a long time before he said it. His attitude was very clear. He couldn't promise anything now because the decision-making power of this matter was not in his hands, but in the hands of the Lin family. But Zhou Yun also said that if the Lin family was willing to serve the Eighth Prince, Zhou Yun would also be very happy.

　　Although this was just a bland statement, Xie Changtian smiled. "Brother Zhou, I am very happy that you responded like this. After the Shenwei training camp is over, I believe that Brother Zhou will be transferred to the South China Sea Navy by the Lin family to consolidate the Lin family's power there. And our Xie family is the master of Jinghai Province. By then, we will have a lot of areas for cooperation. As for the Lin family, I believe in Mr. Lin's vision. He will definitely choose to support the Eighth Prince."

　　"I hope so." Zhou Yun smiled and nodded at Xie Changtian, and then stood up. "My Lord, the princess is still waiting for me to go to Examination Room No. 1 together, so I won't stay any longer."

　　At this time, Li Xiaoxiao should have changed her clothes, and Zhou Yun was also impatient to go to Examination Room No. 1 for training.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun stand up, Xie Changtian also stood up and walked Zhou Yun downstairs.

　　At the exit of the living area of ​​the Shenwei training camp, Li Xiaoxiao, dressed in red, was already waiting there. Seeing Zhou Yun coming out, Li Xiaoxiao immediately waved at Zhou Yun from a distance.

　　His expression suddenly became a little worried, and Xie Changtian said, "Brother Zhou, I hope you can protect the princess. Li Fengyun is a vicious person and will do anything to get what he wants. If he wants to attack you, I'm afraid that if Princess Yuling is present, he will not hesitate to do anything, and may even take the princess with him..."

　　Xie Changtian spoke to the point, but he made his point very clear.

　　After hearing what Xie Changtian said, Zhou Yun's expression immediately became solemn. He clasped his fists towards Xie Changtian again and said sincerely, "Sir, thank you for your reminder."

　　"Yeah." Xie Changtian nodded silently and stopped talking. He just watched Zhou Yun leave.

　　Until Zhou Yun walked in front of Li Xiaoxiao, he was still thinking about what Xie Changtian had just said. Could it be that Li Fengyun was really so bold as to murder Li Xiaoxiao, the princess of the current dynasty?

　　If he really dared to do that, then taking Li Xiaoxiao with him to train would not only not be a guarantee of his own safety, but would also become the biggest burden.

　　"Zhou Yun, what's wrong with you? You don't seem happy." At this time, Zhou Yun had already walked in front of Li Xiaoxiao. Seeing Zhou Yun's serious expression, Li Xiaoxiao immediately showed concern.

　　Being pulled back to his senses by Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun forced a smile on his face, "It's okay, let's set off quickly."

　　Chapter 127: Killing in the Examination Hall

　　Li Xiaoxiao had been to Examination Room No. 1 once and was very familiar with the road. Soon, under the leadership of Li Xiaoxiao, the two arrived at the entrance of Examination Room No. 1.

　　The whole journey was a world of earthy yellow. No matter how far he looked, he could not see the scenery outside. This made Zhou Yun more certain that the interior of Tianhuang Mountain was actually a crystal space. Moreover, this crystal space was extremely mysterious.

　　"Okay, Zhou Yun, the entrance is in front. Go in from there and you will reach Examination Room No. 1." Li Xiaoxiao stopped and pointed to a dark door in the distance guarded by two red-clad soldiers, and spoke to Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun had seen this kind of secret door many times in the Shenwei training camp, so he naturally knew that although there was no difference from the outside, as soon as you stepped in, you would immediately enter a whole new world.

　　"Xiaoxiao, if it is an attack by a ferocious beast, you don't have to pay much attention to it, just wait. But if someone attacks me, remember not to force your way out. If I tell you to leave, you leave immediately, don't stay, and go straight back to the living area, do you understand?" Recalling what Xie Changtian had just said to him, Zhou Yun spoke to Li Xiaoxiao beside him.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao was a little confused for a moment, but then, as if she realized something, a look of horror appeared on her face.

　　"Zhou Yun, are you saying...?" Although she was lively and cheerful by nature and loved to play and make trouble, Li Xiaoxiao was born in a prince's family after all, and it was impossible for her not to understand the power struggle in the capital. As soon as Zhou Yun said this, Li Xiaoxiao thought about it for a moment and understood it.

　　"I'm worried that something like this will really happen, so you must be prepared. If you don't interfere with their actions, I believe they won't make things difficult for you. If you insist on interfering, I'm afraid it will be dangerous. Remember?" Turning around, Zhou Yun held Li Xiaoxiao's shoulders and explained seriously.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's serious look, Li Xiaoxiao felt touched and nodded vigorously.

　　"Let's go." Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao agreed, Zhou Yun showed a smile on his face. He turned around and walked into the black secret door in front of him.

　　Just as Zhou Yun had thought, as soon as he entered the secret door, everything in front of him changed. The vast yellow land that originally existed had long disappeared, and the scene in front of Zhou Yun had turned into a huge, oppressive giant mountain.

　　"Zhou Yun, this is Examination Room No. 1. The mountain in front is the core area of ​​Examination Room No. 1. The higher you go, the higher the level of the ferocious beasts will be." Having been here once, Li Xiaoxiao is already familiar with everything here. Seeing the huge mountain, Li Xiaoxiao immediately introduced it to Zhou Yun.

　　"Let's go." As soon as he entered Examination Room No. 1, Zhou Yun's spiritual perception was immediately released, spreading to its maximum, sensing everything within a radius of 300 meters.

　　Only after realizing there was no danger did Zhou Yun speak to Li Xiaoxiao.

　　Zhou Yun was not afraid of the ferocious beasts here. What he was really worried about was that he would be ambushed by Li Fengyun here.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's calm expression, Li Xiaoxiao sensibly said nothing more and just followed Zhou Yun, walking forward step by step.

　　Zhou Yun did not encounter any ferocious beasts along the way. He led Li Xiaoxiao all the way up, climbing towards the giant peak in the center of the examination room. After ten days of seclusion in the ancient practice chamber, Zhou Yun's cultivation level has reached the peak of tendon training. Most importantly, in the environment of the ancient practice chamber, Zhou Yun's true strength has been greatly improved again. Now, if Zhou Yun strikes with all his strength, the true strength out of his body can even reach a distance of nearly 30 meters.

　　Although he had not yet broken through his cultivation level, Zhou Yun's current strength was already comparable to that of a warrior in the middle stage of internal organ exchange. The beasts along the way could naturally sense Zhou Yun's threat and did not dare to show themselves.

　　As if she noticed that Zhou Yun was in a heavy mood today, Li Xiaoxiao obediently did not play with Zhou Yun, but just followed behind Zhou Yun silently.

　　"ah!"

　　Suddenly, a scream came from a dense forest in the distance. Hearing the sound, Zhou Yun's eyes immediately focused.

　　"Xiaoxiao, come here." Zhou Yun called out to Li Xiaoxiao behind him and immediately ran forward quickly. Of course, he also heard the scream, which was obviously the scream of the students in the Shenwei Training Camp. However, there were only beasts at the initial stage of muscle training here. How could there be students who couldn't even deal with beasts at this stage? Although she felt strange, Li Xiaoxiao still ran over with Zhou Yun.

　　Lowering their bodies, the two men advanced more than a hundred meters silently. The situation in the distance immediately came into their sight. When they saw this scene, Li Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately filled with anger.

　　In the venue, seven or eight students from the Shenwei Training Camp were surrounding two other students. One of the two students had died tragically, and the other one seemed to have no chance of survival at this moment.

　　"Hand over your beast's Yuandan and you will not die." Suddenly, a somewhat cold voice floated out. Hearing this voice, Zhou Yun's eyes narrowed slightly. This person was Lei Rong, who had shown hostility to Zhou Yun in the square that day.

　　At this moment, Lei Rong and his team of seven other noble sons were surrounding two civilian students from the Shenwei Training Camp. If Zhou Yun remembered correctly, there were only four civilian students in the Shenwei Training Camp this time. Wu Chen had been killed. Apart from Zhou Yun himself, there were only the two people surrounded by Lei Rong at the far end. To be exact, although there were two people surrounded, only one person was alive.

　　"If I hand me over to you, will you really let me go? If you kill me, can't you still get the beast's Yuandan?" The civilian boy who was surrounded by heavy enemies had already shown some signs of surrender at this moment. He looked at Lei Rong and spoke in a low voice.

　　In fact, the meaning of his words was very clear. As long as Lei Rong promised not to kill him, he would hand over all his beast Yuandan.

　　But the subsequent developments clearly exceeded his original expectations.

　　"Oh, that's right, can't I just kill you? Why waste time here." Touching his head, Lei Rong seemed to have just reacted, and muttered to himself.

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Rong thrust out with the spear in his hand. With a "puff" sound, the throat of the civilian student who was already injured and lying on the ground was immediately pierced. The true force carried by the tip of the spear almost cut the entire neck of the civilian student. A torrent of blood immediately spurted out, splashing more than a meter high.

　　Until his death, the civilian student still had a look of horror on his face, mixed with a bit of regret, as if he regretted that he should not have entered this Divine Power Training Camp.

　　At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yun were not far away. Seeing this scene, Li Xiaoxiao wanted to scream immediately. Although he had seen dead people before, it was still difficult for Li Xiaoxiao to accept such a bloody killing at such a close distance. In particular, the person who was killed was a civilian student like Zhou Yun, which also aroused some negative emotions in Li Xiaoxiao.

　　Feeling Li Xiaoxiao's unusual movement, Zhou Yun reached out and covered her mouth, finally preventing Li Xiaoxiao from screaming.

　　"Who! Come out!" But even so, Li Xiaoxiao's body movements still made a slight sound. Upon noticing the sound, Lei Rong immediately shouted.

　　"Don't come out, wait for me here." Li Xiaoxiao no longer had the urge to scream, and Zhou Yun also released his hand that was covering her mouth. Holding Li Xiaoxiao's shoulders, Zhou Yun spoke seriously.

　　Seeing the seriousness in Zhou Yun's eyes, Li Xiaoxiao finally resisted the urge to jump out and question these people, and chose to believe Zhou Yun. Nodding, Li Xiaoxiao whispered, "Be careful."

　　After giving Li Xiaoxiao a reassuring look, Zhou Yun stood up. Without even a weapon in his hands, Zhou Yun walked out unarmed.

　　"It's you?" Lei Rong's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Zhou Yun. "Since you're here, hand over all your beast cores."

　　Hearing Lei Rong's words, Zhou Yun still maintained a smile on his face, but his heart had already turned cold. "I just came out of the ancient training chamber, and it has been less than an hour since I entered the examination room. I haven't encountered any fierce beasts, and I don't have any fierce beast Yuandan on me. I wonder if you gentlemen can be so kind as to give me some of the fierce beast Yuandan you got?"

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, all the noble students, including Lei Rong, were stunned. They had never thought that Zhou Yun would come out alone and dare to ask them for the beast Yuandan. Was he stupid?

　　"If you don't have the Yuandan, hand over the space ring you got from Han Shuo and the others." Looking at Zhou Yun with contempt, one of the noble young men in lake green clothes immediately spoke up.

　　Zhou Yun showed a panic expression on his face and shook his head repeatedly, "No, I've calculated that those things are worth 70 million taels of silver. My family is poor and I'm waiting to use the money to supplement the family income, so I can't give it to you. You gentlemen are so rich, why don't you give me your space rings? Let me make a small fortune?"

　　Phew!

　　In the dense forest far away, Li Xiaoxiao, who was originally worried about Zhou Yun, was finally amused after hearing Zhou Yun's continuous teasing. She was originally still worried about Zhou Yun's safety, but now seeing that Zhou Yun was actually teasing these nobles, Li Xiaoxiao immediately felt that what was happening in front of her was a bit funny.

　　"You're looking for death!" After being teased by Zhou Yun twice in a row, the noble young man in lake green clothes immediately became angry.

　　With a loud shout, the noble young man immediately drew his knife and slashed at Zhou Yun's neck.

　　With his eyes slightly narrowed, Zhou Yun's body flashed violently, using his pneumatic steps to the extreme, and he immediately disappeared in front of the young man in green.

　　With a start, the nobleman in green clothes wanted to find where Zhou Yun was, but he found his neck was tightened. He looked in panic and was horrified to find that his neck had been tightly grasped by Zhou Yun!

　　"What... do you want to do..." Zhou Yun pinched his neck with great force. In an instant, the young man in green felt suffocated and wanted to shout in panic.

　　Ziz…! Ziz…! Ziz…!

　　Before he could finish his words, a strong electric current was transmitted from his tightened arms, and instantly, the young man in green turned into charcoal in Zhou Yun's hands!

　　Hiding in the dark, watching Zhou Yun being so fierce and ruthless, Li Xiaoxiao was not frightened or dissatisfied, but instead felt an extremely refreshed feeling in her heart.

　　Chapter 128 Understanding

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun actually killed a person directly, and brutally killed him without any resistance, all the nobles trembled suddenly.

　　Due to his status as a commoner's son, Zhou Yun's status in these people's hearts has always been very low. Even though Zhou Yun had an outburst in the reception square before entering the camp and killed five noble sons in one fell swoop, this contempt still existed.

　　Although Zhou Yun's performance was extremely strong that time, more than ten days had passed after all, and when these nobles saw Zhou Yun, they instinctively regarded him as a civilian who they could slaughter at will. Especially when they had an absolute advantage in numbers, they did not take Zhou Yun seriously.

　　But when they saw Zhou Yun kill one of their companions so easily without any resistance, they immediately panicked. At this time, they remembered that the man in front of them was the madman who had strong cultivation and could fight against Li Fengyun, the second on the Emperor Elite List, and who was decisive in doing things and would kill anyone without considering their status.

　　"Zhou Yun, do you want to live?!" His face turned extremely ugly in an instant, but Lei Rong, as the leader of this group of noble children, still had to ask firmly.

　　Without paying any attention to Lei Rong's questioning, Zhou Yun bent down and picked up the weapon, space ring and the ring that stored the beast's Yuandan of the green-clothed nobleman.

　　"You seven, did you hear what I said? Put your weapons, space rings, and beast cores here, and you can leave." Looking at the seven people in front of him, Zhou Yun had a calm expression and spoke slowly.

　　After coming out from Xie Changtian, Zhou Yun had been suppressing the anger in his heart. When he heard Xie Changtian say that Li Fengyun might not let go of Li Xiaoxiao when dealing with him, Zhou Yun's rebellious emotions were completely aroused.

　　When Zhou Yun saw that Lei Rong and others were actually intercepting civilian warriors here, killing people and robbing them of the ferocious beast Yuandan that they had worked so hard to obtain, his emotions had completely exploded.

　　Since Lei Rong is also hostile to me, and is likely to join forces with Li Fengyun in the future, why should I be on the lookout for his attacks? Wouldn't it be better to take the initiative and make him disappear from this world?

　　Looking at Zhou Yun, whose expression was ruthless, Lei Rong and the others were all stunned, not knowing what to do.

　　When Zhou Yun killed someone just now, he showed his cultivation level, which was obviously not something they could fight against. Now, putting down their weapons, space rings and Yuandan and leaving was their best option. But as descendants of the nobility, how could these people afford to save face?

　　"Zhou Yun, don't go too far. Do you really think that we can't defeat you if we all rush at you?" At this time, Lei Rong, as the leader of the team, had to stand up and speak again.

　　Zhou Yun ignored Lei Rong's words and didn't even take them seriously.

　　Zhou Yun stretched out his left hand, raised three fingers, and said slowly, "I will count to three. If no one hands over the items, one of you will die."

　　At this moment, there was a faint smile on Zhou Yun's face, but none of Lei Rong and the others could laugh. They didn't even dare to make a sound. They all stared at Zhou Yun's fingers, not daring to move.

　　"Three." Zhou Yun spoke silently, looking calmly at the seven people in front of him.

　　"Two." The ring finger bent down, but none of the seven nobles in front of him made any move.

　　"One." The middle finger also bent down, as if it was fixed. Lei Rong and others still did not speak or move.

　　A trace of regret flashed across his eyes, and Zhou Yun shook his head silently.

　　Just when Lei Rong and others were puzzled, Zhou Yun's index finger, still upright, suddenly pointed forward. At the same time, a violent blue lightning force began to surge in Zhou Yun's body.

　　Here!

　　A strong flash of lightning passed by, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a finger shot out from Zhou Yun's fingertips and directly hit the chest of a nobleman who was more than 20 meters away from him.

　　"Uh..." Before he could even scream out, the noble young man's heart was pierced directly by Zhou Yun's attack. His entire internal organs were burned black, his face turned black, and he fell straight down.

　　"Ah! Zhou Yun, I want you to die!" Seeing that Zhou Yun really killed someone, Lei Rong could no longer remain calm. With a loud shout, the spear in Lei Rong's hand burst out with a black light and rushed directly towards Zhou Yun.

　　"Let's attack together. Either he dies or we die!" Lei Rong roared madly while rushing towards Zhou Yun.

　　After hearing Lei Rong's words, the nobles also felt that Zhou Yun was not going to let them go this time. Between life and death, these nobles were all aroused to their greatest fighting spirit, howling and rushing towards Zhou Yun.

　　"Come on!" With a wild laugh, Zhou Yun gently turned his right hand, and the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber appeared in his hand. At this time, the black light on the tip of Lei Rong's spear finally condensed.

　　ha!

　　With a loud shout, the black light suddenly broke away from the tip of the gun and hit Zhou Yun directly.

　　Without panicking, Zhou Yun's left hand, which had not yet been lowered, once again burst out with a powerful blue light. This time, Zhou Yun did not strike forward with his fingers, but spread out his five fingers and pushed his palm forward.

　　Suddenly, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl struck towards the black light emitted by Lei Rong.

　　The two collided, and the black light emitted by Lei Rong was actually swallowed up by Zhou Yun's lightning. Not only that, after Zhou Yun's lightning swallowed up the black light, it continued to rush towards Lei Rong without slowing down.

　　Frightened, Lei Rong dodged the lightning. But the other nobleman following behind Lei Rong was not so lucky. He wanted to follow behind Lei Rong to see what was going on ahead. If the battle went well, he could help. If it went badly, he could take advantage of Lei Rong and the others holding Zhou Yun back and escape first.

　　Unexpectedly, Lei Rong dodged and Zhou Yun killed him directly with this move.

　　Before he knew what was happening, the noble young man was pierced through the chest by the lightning released by Zhou Yun. Instantly, his entire body was burned to charcoal.

　　Lei Rong's true strength was far less than Zhou Yun's. He had already used his true strength, so he couldn't gather it again in time. But at this time, Lei Rong successfully entangled Zhou Yun and started to fight directly with weapons. He was still thinking that if four or five people directly entangled Zhou Yun, they might still have a chance in close combat.

　　But as soon as they came into contact, Lei Rong knew that he was wrong, and very wrong.

　　Zhou Yun's body movements were strange and agile, and they had no idea how he could do it. Moreover, Zhou Yun's swordsmanship was also extremely strange. He could fight one against five with ease and completely suppressed the five of them.

　　"Is this still a human being?" Seeing Zhou Yun suppressing all the people on their side with his own strength, Lei Rong finally became a little panicked.

　　In battle, the most feared thing is distraction.

　　Lei Rong panicked, and Zhou Yun immediately found an opportunity.

　　call!

　　A flash of knife light passed by, and Zhou Yun immediately cut off the head of a nobleman in a red robe. Blood splattered, and the nobleman immediately fell limply to the ground.

　　"Ah!" Seeing his companions die, the other noble young man immediately collapsed and screamed, and the defense of the folding fan weapon in his hand suddenly became chaotic.

　　How could he give up such an opportunity? Zhou Yun slashed with his left hand with great force. This time it was not the power of thunder and lightning, but a gray blade energy that came out directly from Zhou Yun's hand knife, which instantly ripped open the noble young man's belly.

　　"Zhou Yun, you are so cruel. If you help me hold him back, I will definitely avenge you when I return!" Two of his companions died in succession, and their formation was in disarray. At this time, Lei Rong also gave up the plan to defeat Zhou Yun.

　　After shouting at the other two remaining noble sons, Lei Rong withdrew and retreated directly.

　　But Lei Rong obviously overestimated the awareness of the people in his team. He wanted to run away, but how could the other two noble young men not want to run away?

　　Seeing Lei Rong running away, the other two also dropped their weapons and ran away almost instantly.

　　With an evil smile on his lips, Zhou Yun put away his sword, turned his right hand, and suddenly, two purple gold coins appeared in his hand.

　　Whoosh! Whoosh!

　　With a violent swing, two streaks of light caught up with the two noble young men in front. Suddenly, the back of their heads were pierced. Their whole bodies stiffened for a moment, and then they fell to the ground with a bang.

　　Zhou Yun ran quickly without stopping for a moment, and in a moment he was in front of Lei Rong who had not run far yet.

　　"Are you still running?" With a devilish smile, Zhou Yun looked at Lei Rong and asked slowly. Although Zhou Yun had a smile on his face, a hint of madness had already appeared in his eyes, and his eyeballs were bloodshot.

　　"Zhou Yun, you will not die a horrible death. Just wait, if you kill me, my father will never let you go. Ants like you are destined to be trampled to death, and he will cut you into pieces! Cut you into pieces!" Knowing that he could not escape, Lei Rong immediately started cursing madly.

　　"Uh...!" The insulting words in his mouth suddenly could not be uttered. Lei Rong looked at his chest in a daze. He didn't know when, a sword had deeply penetrated his chest.

　　Looking straight at Zhou Yun, Lei Rong's vitality was rapidly fading away. Finally, he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground with a bang.

　　Eight noble sons, including Lei Rong who was ranked very high, were killed in an instant. Even after killing all these people, Zhou Yun did not feel any happiness in his heart. A feeling of sadness surged from his heart, and Zhou Yun closed his eyes silently.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun doesn't like killing by nature, but he was helplessly dragged into such a vortex. At this moment, Zhou Yun felt more of a sense of helplessness.

　　In order for his sister Zhou Xue to have a happy life and to be with Jun Yao, Zhou Yun has been unknowingly drawn into this vortex, and it seems that there is no possibility of escape.

　　Just when Zhou Yun was sad, suddenly, a fragrance drifted into his nostrils.

　　The next moment, Zhou Yun felt someone hugging her waist, and then a soft body leaned in her arms.

　　When Zhou Yun opened his eyes, he immediately saw Li Xiaoxiao, who had walked out at some point and was now quietly hugging him. The girl in his arms also had red eyes, and pouted her lips in grievance, almost about to cry.

　　"She actually understands how I feel?" Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's expression, a few words suddenly popped up in Zhou Yun's mind. His hand, which had been frozen there, was inexplicably raised up and he gently hugged Li Xiaoxiao, who had already started crying.

　　Chapter 129 The Secret of the Prince

　　When Zhou Yun was fighting, Li Xiaoxiao was hiding behind and watching. Originally, when Zhou Yun killed a nobleman, Li Xiaoxiao felt happy. But when Zhou Yun killed the second person, Li Xiaoxiao felt very heavy in his heart.

　　When Zhou Yun killed all the nobles, including Lei Rong, Li Xiaoxiao was shocked, but she felt more of a desolate feeling. Looking at Zhou Yun standing there alone, Li Xiaoxiao seemed to understand Zhou Yun's feelings in an instant.

　　In fact, he didn't want to kill these people.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's somewhat lonely figure, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a surge of heartache for some reason, which led to the hug between the two.

　　Holding Zhou Yun quietly, Li Xiaoxiao cried aggrievedly. She was usually such a happy girl, but now she felt distressed and aggrieved because of Zhou Yun's affairs.

　　In the end, Zhou Yun felt much more relaxed, and he began to comfort Li Xiaoxiao, who couldn't stop crying.

　　"Xiaoxiao, don't cry, I'm fine." Zhou Yun comforted the girl in his arms, gently stroking her soft hair. When he hugged Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun couldn't help feeling guilty. This guilt was towards Lin Junyao.

　　At this time, Lin Junyao should still be waiting for him with her sister Zhou Xue, but at this time he was hugging another girl in the Shenwei training camp.

　　Zhou Yun felt guilty and tormented, but he couldn't push the girl away from his arms.

　　With Zhou Yun's comfort, Li Xiaoxiao finally recovered a little. She sniffed and raised her head, "Zhou Yun, don't be sad. These scumbags deserve to die. If you don't kill them, they will also prey on the people. You did the right thing."

　　A pair of red eyes looked at Zhou Yun. Although Li Xiaoxiao was still sobbing, she still spoke out to comfort Zhou Yun.

　　Scratching Li Xiaoxiao's nose gently, Zhou Yun said gently, "I'm not sad. This is called preemptive strike. Lei Rong is definitely going to deal with me. Maybe he will join forces with Li Fengyun to cause trouble for me in the future. I'm just doing this to preemptive strike."

　　After Zhou Yun gently scratched her nose, Li Xiaoxiao immediately couldn't help but burst into laughter. Although there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, the expression on her face had improved a lot.

　　"Yes, you did a good job. Didn't you say that Li Fengyun might even deal with me? Then get rid of these scum first, so that I can be safer. Uncle Zhuang is not here, and I can only rely on you here. You have to protect me." Li Xiaoxiao raised her little face and spoke arrogantly to Zhou Yun.

　　Although the tone seemed a bit unruly, it was not at all offensive, but rather seemed so frank.

　　"Well, I will definitely protect you well. At least, in the training camp." Nodding, Zhou Yun spoke slowly.

　　Li Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said in disapproval after hearing Zhou Yun's words, "What do you mean at least it's like this in the Shenwei training camp? Even if you're not here anymore, you still have to protect me."

　　Standing in front of Zhou Yun and looking at his resolute face, Li Xiaoxiao had already made a decision in her heart that was extremely important to her life.

　　"Okay, I will protect you in the future." Looking at the expectant eyes of the girl in front of him, Zhou Yun couldn't bear to refuse, so he smiled slightly and agreed.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun agreed to her request, Li Xiaoxiao's little face immediately showed a happy expression.

　　"Okay, let's quickly pick up the things these guys dropped. We should be able to get a lot of treasures this time. It looks like you're going to get rich again this time." Li Xiaoxiao released her hand around Zhou Yun's waist and immediately ran to pick up the things that fell on the ground.

　　The land of the Shenwei training camp was extremely strange. It seemed that no corpse could survive here. Once a person died, the corpse would naturally disappear, leaving only the belongings on the body on the ground. It was extremely strange.

　　Soon, Li Xiaoxiao had picked up all the things from the eight noble sons, a total of eight space rings, eight weapons, and ten rings for storing the ferocious beast Yuandan.

　　"This is not a place to stay for long. Let's move on and hunt the ferocious beasts. We'll look at the things in here when we rest at night." Seeing Li Xiaoxiao handing him a bunch of space rings with an expectant look on her face, Zhou Yun shook his head helplessly and put away these things. Zhou Yun forcibly suppressed the expectation in his heart and spoke out.

　　Knowing that now was not the time to sort out the treasures, Li Xiaoxiao nodded and once again followed Zhou Yun and began to move forward towards the giant mountain of Examination Hall No. 1.

　　The goal of Zhou Yun's training this time is basically to train the ferocious beasts in the middle stage of blood exchange. The areas where each ferocious beast appears in Examination Room No. 1 are basically fixed. This is also to avoid excessive risks that will lead to an increase in the number of casualties among candidates.

　　After arriving with Li Xiaoxiao at the area where ferocious beasts in the middle stage of internal organ blood exchange appeared, Zhou Yun stopped in this area with Li Xiaoxiao and began to kill the ferocious beasts.

　　Two hours later, night gradually fell in Examination Room No. 1. At the same time, outside the Emperor's examination room, the sun was setting. The entire capital city was shrouded in a flowing red glow, which was exceptionally enchanting.

　　In the eastern district of Shangjing City, where princes and nobles gathered, a carriage, guarded by more than a dozen warrior guards, slowly moved forward and finally stopped in front of the gate of the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion.

　　Seeing the carriage, the guards in front of the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion immediately perked up. One of the guards quickly turned around and ran into the mansion, while the other three guards walked directly down from the stone platform at the door.

　　At this time, the door of the exquisite carriage opened, and a slender figure in white walked out of the carriage slowly.

　　"Greetings, the noble lady of Marquis Qingshan!" Upon seeing the woman in white, all the guards of the Duke's Mansion in front of the door bowed and saluted.

　　The woman in white was none other than Fang Xueying, the noble daughter of Marquis Qingshan and the fiancée of Lin Juntian, the son of Duke Pingnan.

　　With an expression as calm as water, Fang Xueyin nodded slightly to the guards in front of her, then walked directly up the stairs in front of her and entered the mansion.

　　Fang Xueying was already very familiar with the Lin family. She came straight to Lin Juntian's courtyard. At this time, the guard who had run in early had already reported the news to Lin Juntian.

　　"Xueyin, you're back." Lin Juntian came out of the house and stood at the gate of his courtyard, smiling at Fang Xueyin who was walking slowly towards him.

　　"Brother Tian." Seeing Lin Juntian, Fang Xueying's eyes, which had been as calm as water, suddenly showed a hint of joy, and she responded softly.

　　"The food and wine are ready, please come in." Lin Juntian walked forward and stood beside Fang Xueying. He stretched out his right hand, lightly put his arm around Fang Xueying's shoulders, and spoke gently.

　　"Yeah." Nodding, Fang Xueying entered the courtyard accompanied by Lin Juntian, and the guards around her also tactfully retreated.

　　After passing through the front yard, the two came directly to the pavilion in the garden. On the small table in the center of the pavilion, exquisite food and wine had already been prepared. It was a unique experience to enjoy the moon and wine in the garden under the moonlight.

　　Sitting down, Lin Juntian picked up the wine jug, filled Fang Xueyin's glass, and then poured himself some wine.

　　"Brother Tian, ​​I heard that my uncle will be out of seclusion in half a year?" Sitting there, Fang Xueying had been looking at Lin Juntian quietly. It was not until Lin Juntian poured wine for both of them that Fang Xueying asked, with a hint of joy and anticipation in her eyes.

　　After hearing Fang Xueyin's words, Lin Juntian sighed and smiled, "Yes, father has been in seclusion for five years and will come out in half a year. I just went to see father some time ago. Although we both talked about Jun Yao's affairs, I can see that father has always kept our affairs in mind. This time he comes out of seclusion, he will definitely take good care of us. It's just hard for you to wait for so many years."

　　Lin Juntian is already 24 years old this year. There are very few men in the Tianyuan Dynasty who are still unmarried at this age. Fang Xueying is already 22 years old this year. It is even rarer for a woman to be still unmarried at this age.

　　In fact, the marriage between the two had been arranged seven years ago, but not long after that, Lin Hailong suddenly resigned from his post and went into seclusion, which delayed the marriage for a full five years, so the two have not yet gotten married.

　　Seeing Lin Juntian's guilty look, Fang Xueyin smiled softly, and gently stretched out her jade hand and placed it on the back of Lin Juntian's hand, "It's okay. In fact, whether we get married or not, we will walk the future together. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."

　　Faced with the considerate Fang Xueyin, Lin Juntian had nothing more to say.

　　He picked up the wine glass and gently clinked it with Fang Xueyin's glass, and they both drank the wine in the glass together.

　　This time, it was Fang Xueyin who was in charge of pouring the wine. While carefully filling the glass, Fang Xueyin asked, "Brother Tian, ​​I heard that Zhou Yun was very popular in the Shenwei training camp. It seems that he is growing very fast now."

　　Both Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying were extremely concerned about the affairs of Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao. Lin Junyao was the most precious jewel in the palm of the entire Lin family. Even Fang Xueying, the future sister-in-law, was extremely concerned about Lin Junyao.

　　When Zhou Yun was mentioned, Lin Juntian's face immediately showed a trace of helplessness. "Yes, he was quite famous. He killed five noble descendants in one breath and offended Li Fengyun. Why didn't I see that he was such a crazy person when I first met him? If I had known that he loved to cause trouble, I would never let Jun Yao be with him no matter what."

　　Listening to Lin Juntian's complaints, Fang Xueyin also showed a gentle smile on her face, "This matter was decided by Junyao, and you can't do anything to your precious sister. However, although this matter is troublesome, it is not to the point where it cannot be suppressed. If it really doesn't work, our two families will side with the Eighth Prince and help him ascend to the throne. Originally, the Eighth Prince was the prince we favored. As long as we side with the Eighth Prince, we can also get strong support from the royal family, and the Crown Prince can't do anything to us."

　　With a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, Lin Juntian pondered for a moment, then shook his head silently, "It's not time yet. My father told me before he went into seclusion that among the three princes, whoever can break through the restrictions of the peak of the Martial Saint first and reach the level of flying through the void with his physical body will be invincible in this battle for the throne. Currently, the Crown Prince is ahead in progress, and the Eighth Prince is too young, and is currently on par with the Third Prince in terms of cultivation. It's still hard to tell who will have the last laugh, so it's not easy to decide too early."

　　After hearing Lin Juntian's words, Fang Xueyin's face also showed a thoughtful look. After a while, she slowly nodded, "In this case, I just hope Zhou Yun can restrain himself a little and not offend the prince too badly."

　　As soon as Fang Xueyin finished speaking, a figure immediately appeared in Lin Juntian's courtyard garden. The figure was extremely mysterious, as if it came with the wind, and was silent. After stagnating, although it just stood there quietly, its body was almost completely illusory, and only a vague outline could be seen.

　　"Prince, something big has happened." In the illusion, the figure handed a letter in his hand to Lin Juntian, and then the whole person floated away like the breeze again, and no trace could be seen in the blink of an eye.

　　With a slight frown on his brows, Lin Juntian quickly opened the letter in his hand. As soon as he saw the contents of the letter, an extremely angry look immediately appeared on Lin Juntian's face.

　　"This Zhou Yun! Is he crazy?!"

　　Chapter 130 Dilemma

　　"Brother Tian, ​​what's wrong?" Lin Juntian looked extremely angry at this moment, his handsome face had turned completely red with anger. It was rare to see Lin Juntian lose his composure like this. Fang Xueying also realized that this matter might not be that simple, and hurriedly asked.

　　"This Zhou Yun is really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and is so bold and presumptuous! Just read for yourself!" Lin Juntian spoke in annoyance after throwing the letter in his hand to Fang Xueying.

　　As a result, Fang Xueying only glanced at the letter that Lin Juntian threw over, and her originally calm face immediately showed ripples.

　　"Oh my God, how could Zhou Yun do such a thing? Isn't this pushing the Lin family into the fire pit?" Seeing the contents of the letter, even though Fang Xueying was calm and indifferent, she couldn't help but scream.

　　In the No. 1 examination room of the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun actually killed eight princes of the dynasty by himself, and all of these people were the Third Prince's men!

　　Not long ago, at the reception square of the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun had just killed five students under the Crown Prince. This time, Zhou Yun went even further and directly targeted the men under the Third Prince.

　　This time, the Third Prince sent only eight children of powerful families to the Shenwei Training Camp. In this battle, Zhou Yun wiped them all out.

　　Moreover, among those killed was Lei Rong, the legitimate son of Wuwei King Lei Zhentian!

　　King Wuwei was one of the three most important supporters under the Third Prince. His own son was killed by the Lin family, which almost cut off the possibility of the Lin family turning to the Third Prince in the future.

　　In addition to the prince who had been offended some time ago, the Lin family was now forced by Zhou Yun to the point where they could only choose the eighth prince. Such a major decision, a decision that could determine the future fortune of the Lin family, was actually forced out directly under Zhou Yun's killing.

　　With anger still on his face, Lin Juntian said harshly, "This Zhou Yun, not only loves to stir up trouble, but he even mixed up with the noble daughter of Prince Jin. They were not shy about being with each other. The two of them went in and out of the Shenwei training camp together, and they walked hand in hand most of the time. Zhou Yun even dared to hug the noble daughter of Prince Jin. What on earth does he think of Jun Yao?"

　　The content of the letter made Lin Juntian extremely angry. Part of the reason was because Zhou Yun killed the third prince's men and put the Lin family in trouble. More importantly, because of Zhou Yun's close relationship with Li Xiaoxiao, Lin Juntian felt that his sister was insulted.

　　After being together for many years, Fang Xueying could naturally see the real reason why Lin Juntian was so angry.

　　Folding the letter in her hand, Fang Xueyin gently consoled, "Brother Tian, ​​don't be too angry. We have all met Zhou Yun, and there is no doubt about his feelings for Jun Yao. The letter also said that although Zhou Yun and Princess Yuling were very close, it was Princess Yuling who took the initiative to approach Zhou Yun. Perhaps, this had nothing to do with Zhou Yun, but he simply didn't know how to reject a girl and was afraid of hurting Princess Yuling's heart. As far as I know, Princess Yuling has helped Zhou Yun a lot. Zhou Yun is also a man of affection and righteousness."

　　Although they didn't spend much time together, Lin Juntian still had the ability to judge people. He naturally wouldn't suspect that Zhou Yun was greedy and wanted to abandon Jun Yao and find a new love just because Li Xiaoxiao was of noble status and beautiful.

　　But no matter what, such things seemed extremely uncomfortable to Lin Juntian.

　　"This Zhou Yun, does he really think he is so precious? With his status, it is already difficult for him to be with Jun Yao, and he even dares to be so close to Princess Yuling. He really doesn't know what is good for him." Still a little annoyed, Lin Juntian spoke harshly.

　　Seeing Lin Juntian like this, Fang Xueyin knew that his anger had subsided a lot and he was no longer as angry as before. With a slight smile, Fang Xueyin said softly, "It's hard to say. Zhou Yun's growth rate is really too fast. At this rate, when the Shenwei training camp is closed, after one or two years of training in the army, maybe Zhou Yun can really be granted a title of nobility. At that time, maybe he can really be as good as Jun Yao and Yu Ling."

　　snort!

　　With a cold snort, Lin Juntian turned away and stopped talking. The scene also fell into silence for a while.

　　After a while, suddenly, as if he remembered something, Lin Juntian turned to look at Fang Xueyin and asked with a hint of teasing, "Xueyin, when you mention it, I remember that Princess Yuling doesn't seem to like you very much. What's going on between you two?"

　　Hearing Lin Juntian asking about this, Fang Xueyin shook her head helplessly and gave Lin Juntian a reproachful look, "Of course it's because of Li Daoxuan. Don't you know about this?"

　　In fact, among the nobles in the capital, Fang Xueyin and Li Xiaoxiao are not of the same age group at all. They are six years apart and are not in the same circle at all. The reason why Li Xiaoxiao hates Fang Xueyin is actually because her biological brother Li Daoxuan was also one of Fang Xueyin's suitors. But in the end, Fang Xueyin chose to get engaged to Lin Juntian, which made Li Daoxuan sad. Although he himself did not hate Fang Xueyin, his beloved sister Li Xiaoxiao hated Fang Xueyin from then on.

　　Over the past few years, Li Xiaoxiao has been trying to cultivate herself to make herself look no worse than Fang Xueyin, and prove to her brother that Fang Xueyin is actually nothing special. However, due to her natural playfulness, Li Xiaoxiao has not made any decent achievements so far.

　　Seeing Fang Xueyin's scolding expression, Lin Juntian finally showed a smile on his face. He put his arm around Fang Xueyin's shoulders with some emotion and said slowly, "Li Daoxuan is really a man of extraordinary talent. However, he inherited the tradition of Tianlong Temple, while you practice the secret method of Liangyi Sect. These two sects are incompatible. Otherwise, I might not have a chance."

　　Without replying, Fang Xueying showed a faint smile on her face and leaned quietly on Lin Juntian's shoulder. The two of them looked at the bright moon in the sky and snuggled up to each other quietly.

　　The moon gradually rose, and the originally heavy atmosphere in the small garden gradually dissipated. Fang Xueyin and Lin Juntian both knew that the Lin family actually intended to support the Eighth Prince. Although Zhou Yun's move was excessive, it was still within the control of the Lin family.

　　Lin Juntian was angry with Zhou Yun, more because of the close relationship between Li Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yun. Now that he thinks about it carefully, Zhou Yun actually did nothing wrong.

　　On the contrary, this battle made Lin Juntian more clearly aware of Zhou Yun's cultivation and character. After this battle, Zhou Yun had solved a big threat to himself. In an environment like the Shenwei Training Camp, no external force could intervene. Without Lei Rong, a possible helper, Li Fengyun would not be able to shake Zhou Yun with only his own strength.

　　It can be said that after this battle, Zhou Yun's graduation from the Shenwei training camp is no longer a problem. Lin Juntian also admired Zhou Yun's decisive character, so he naturally didn't say anything more.

　　After snuggling quietly for a while, Fang Xueying sat up from Lin Juntian's arms and filled the glasses of wine for both of them again.

　　"Brother Tian, ​​after Zhou Yun comes out of the Shenwei training camp this time, are you going to arrange him to the South China Sea Navy?" The letter just now had already pointed out that Zhou Yun had some contact with Xie Changtian in the Shenwei training camp.

　　Xie Changtian is the eldest son of King Jinghai of the Tianyuan Dynasty. The Jinghai Province ruled by King Jinghai is the base of the South China Sea Navy. For a long time, King Jinghai, who supports the Eighth Prince, has wanted to bring the Lin family into his camp.

　　"Yes, I felt it too. Father meant the same thing. The South China Sea has not been peaceful recently. The emperor has not been in court for more than two years, and General Shenwei has been elusive. After my father returned from the South China Sea navy, the South China Sea navy lacked real support, and those jumping clowns like Fengshen and Nissan are a little out of control. Moreover, the prince has always wanted to extend his hand to the South China Sea. We need someone who truly belongs to us to go to the South China Sea to stabilize the situation." Nodding, Lin Juntian spoke slowly.

　　With a thoughtful look on her face, Fang Xueyin whispered, "If Zhou Yun can stabilize the South China Sea, then when he comes back, he should be able to marry Jun Yao. Moreover, with Xie Changtian's help, I believe Zhou Yun will encounter much less resistance there."

　　"I hope so. The problem in the South China Sea is not so easy to solve." With a slight smile, Lin Juntian picked up the wine glass on the table, clinked it lightly with Fang Xueying, and drank it all in one gulp.

　　In the mansion of Duke Pingnan, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying were discussing Zhou Yun's affairs, but Zhou Yun at this time still knew nothing about it.

　　After a day of hunting, it was now nightfall. Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao found a cave and prepared to rest.

　　This cave is located halfway up the giant mountain where Examination Hall No. 1 is located. The beasts that appear around it are basically those in the middle stage of organ training and blood transfusion. After a day of fighting, Zhou Yun has determined that beasts of this level do not pose much threat to him.

　　Under such circumstances, Zhou Yun could actually try to challenge the beast at the peak of his internal organ blood exchange skills, but since he had Li Xiaoxiao with him, Zhou Yun did not dare to take the risk casually.

　　In the cave, a bonfire was burning quietly. A large bluestone that had been swept clean was covered with warm roasted straw, and on the straw there was a quilt. Although everything in the cave was very simple, this bed seemed very cozy.

　　At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, with her body sideways, quietly looking at Zhou Yun who was sitting at the entrance of the cave with his back to her.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she and Zhou Yun went out together, and stayed in the cave to rest together. Such behavior was really very bold. With Zhou Yun's cultivation, if he wanted to bully her, Li Xiaoxiao would definitely not be able to resist.

　　But for some reason, Li Xiaoxiao had no such worries in her heart. The more they got along, the more Li Xiaoxiao trusted Zhou Yun. It was a wonderful feeling that made Li Xiaoxiao feel sweet in her heart and inexplicably happy.

　　"Is this what it feels like to find the person you love?" Looking at Zhou Yun's back, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of this. But then, even she was frightened by this thought and her face turned red with shame.

　　Zhou Yun naturally had no idea what Li Xiaoxiao was thinking. At this time, Zhou Yun had already finished a stage of cultivation and opened his eyes again.

　　"The strength of my true energy is still increasing, but I can't make any further progress in my cultivation. Advanced secret manuals, precious natural treasures, these are things that can only be encountered by chance but not sought after. Do I really have to wait until the end of the Shenwei Training Camp before I can break through to the level of organ training and blood exchange?" Zhou Yun thought helplessly as he felt the true energy in his body.

　　Zhou Yun knew before that it was an extremely difficult stage for a warrior to break through from the peak of tendon training to the stage of internal organ training and blood transfusion, and not all warriors were so lucky. Breaking through to the stage of internal organ training and blood transfusion not only required the warrior to work hard and have talent, but also required sufficient resources.

　　Among them, tempering the five internal organs is the most difficult level. All the techniques that can temper the five internal organs were created by the great sages. It is a pipe dream to figure out the method of tempering the five internal organs by yourself. Zhou Yun can improve the purity of his body by one level by using the method of lightning tempering, which is already a very genius method. But asking him to find a method to temper the five internal organs by himself in a short period of time is too difficult.

　　If he couldn't get the secret manual, he could only rely on natural treasures, which was also a very unreliable thing. Zhou Yun was currently in the examination room of the Shenwei training camp. In such a desolate mountain and wilderness, there was nothing else except ferocious beasts. How could he find a treasure that could temper his body?

　　"Do I really have to wait until the training camp is closed before I can improve my cultivation to the point of training my organs and exchanging my blood? If that's the case, it will be too late." Thinking about these things, Zhou Yun sighed silently.

　　"Zhou Yun, what are you thinking about?" Just as Zhou Yun was thinking hard, Li Xiaoxiao had gotten up from the bed in her clothes, walked around the campfire, and sat next to Zhou Yun.

　　Chapter 131 Li Xiaoxiao's Help

　　Sitting there quietly, Zhou Yun fiddled with a branch at hand and said slowly, "My cultivation is stuck at the peak of tendon training, and I can't find a way to go up."

　　This discovery made Zhou Yun extremely upset and worried. Originally, Zhou Yun was expecting to find one or two rare treasures or useful secret manuals in the space rings of Lei Rong and others, but after searching for a while, Zhou Yun was disappointed.

　　Although there were many treasures in the space rings of those noble young men, most of them were gold bills, elixirs, small mechanisms and jewelry. There were no powerful secrets for strengthening the organs and replacing blood, or precious treasures that could promote physical growth.

　　Obviously, these noble sons are not fools. In the martial arts circle of Tianyuan Continent, secret manuals and treasures that help boost cultivation are the most precious. These people are not stupid enough to put these treasures in space rings.

　　"Are you in such a hurry?" Feeling the lonely aura from Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao also calmed down. She bent her knees, folded her hands, placed them on her chin, and asked Zhou Yun.

　　With a bitter smile on his face, Zhou Yun said, "How can I not be anxious? I have offended too many noble forces this time. It's okay in the Shenwei training camp, but as soon as I leave this training camp, I'm afraid countless people will wish me dead immediately. If I can't reach the martial saint realm before the camp closes, I'm afraid I won't have the strength to face the dangers that come later."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao's face also revealed a solemn look, as if she had made a decision. Li Xiaoxiao waved her hand slightly and handed the ring containing the fierce beast Yuandan in her hand to Zhou Yun.

　　"Take this."

　　"Isn't this the ring for storing the ferocious beast's Yuandan? Why are you giving it to me?" Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's actions, Zhou Yun immediately exclaimed in surprise.

　　After a moment's hesitation, Li Xiaoxiao slowly spoke, "There are four small towers in the square of the living area. One of them has never been opened and has no public function. You have seen it, right?"

　　After recalling, Zhou Yun immediately thought that there were indeed four small towers in the square of the living area. Two of them were used to test cultivation, and one was the location of an ancient cultivation secret room. As for the remaining one, Zhou Yun really didn't know what its function was until now.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun nodded silently, "I've seen it, but I don't know what it does."

　　"In fact, the fourth small tower is a treasure house. Every month, the top three students in the Shenwei Training Camp can obtain a treasure from it. It can be a weapon, a secret book, or even some powerful treasures. This Shenwei Training Camp is hosted by General Shenwei and is directly under the royal family. For you, a profound secret book or a secret treasure that can help you complete the organ training and blood transfusion may be extremely rare, but for the royal family, these things are common things." Looking at Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao spoke slowly.

　　Hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Zhou Yun also showed a surprised expression on his face. No wonder Li Xiaoxiao wanted to give Zhou Yun the ring containing the beast's Yuandan. It turned out that he had such an idea in mind.

　　"Xiaoxiao..." A feeling of being touched rose from the bottom of his heart, and Zhou Yun couldn't help but want to speak.

　　"Zhou Yun, take it. I don't want you to get hurt." Li Xiaoxiao stuffed the ring in her hand into Zhou Yun's hand and smiled. Her smile was very sincere, and the happiness was from the bottom of her heart. "If it were outside, I could ask my father for a treasure that can purify your body. Although I can't get something as perfect as the Moonlight Pearl, I can still get things like the Hundred-Year-Old Snow Ganoderma. But here in the Shenwei Training Camp, I have no other choice but to help you this way."

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's sincere look, Zhou Yun couldn't bear to let her down and finally took the ring.

　　"Xiaoxiao, thank you." After putting away the ring, Zhou Yun sincerely thanked Li Xiaoxiao.

　　Shaking her head, Li Xiaoxiao said, "I know how many points you have, and I know how many points I have. What I can do for you now is to make sure that my points do not exceed yours. Originally, I also had the hope of getting into the top three this time. But I will not let myself surpass you. As for whether you can get into the top three, it depends on you. Li Fengyun and Xie Changtian are not simple characters."

　　After hearing this, Zhou Yun was immediately surprised. The meaning of Li Xiaoxiao's words was very clear. If Li Xiaoxiao didn't help him, she could surpass him with only a quarter of the fierce beast points she got from Li Wanqiu.

　　After a day's hard work, Zhou Yun obtained 10,000 points for the ferocious beasts. He gave 2,500 points to Li Xiaoxiao, leaving Zhou Yun with 7,500 points. Could it be that these points were not as good as one quarter of the points that Li Wanqiu gave to Li Xiaoxiao?

　　Zhou Yun had just seen that the ring that Li Xiaoxiao gave him contained more than 40,000 points of beast Yuandan, most of which were seized from Lei Rong and others. In addition to those, Li Xiaoxiao also returned the 2,500-point beast Yuandan she got today to Zhou Yun.

　　Restraining the shock in his heart, Zhou Yun remained calm and asked slowly, "Xiaoxiao, is the Third Princess really that efficient in hunting ferocious beasts?"

　　Nodding, Li Xiaoxiao said silently, "Yes, Sister Wanqiu, in five days, you got 500,000 points, and gave me 125,000. Even if I return all the points you got to you, and then give you all the points of Lei Rong and the others this time, you may not be able to surpass me. You know, Sister Wanqiu will guide me for three more days."

　　"Five hundred thousand..." Zhou Yun muttered to himself, and was finally shocked by the number Li Xiaoxiao said.

　　Five days and 500,000 points, which is equivalent to 100,000 points a day. Has Li Wanqiu become so powerful?

　　Seeing Zhou Yun fall silent, Li Xiaoxiao felt distressed. She gently held Zhou Yun's hand, and moved closer. She leaned her face on Zhou Yun's shoulder and comforted him softly, "Zhou Yun, don't be sad. In fact, in my eyes, you are already a genius among geniuses. You are only sixteen years old, and you are a child of commoners. You don't have any resources, but your ability has far exceeded those children of the rich and powerful in the Shenwei training camp who are regarded as the future dynasty elites. But you are different from Sister Wanqiu after all. She is a royal family and has obtained resources that you can't imagine. But you also have your own advantages, that is, your tenacious character and your hard work. I believe that it won't be long before you can surpass them."

　　Nodding, a smile finally appeared on Zhou Yun's face, and his originally tightly locked brows gradually relaxed.

　　Under the moonlight, the two of them leaned against each other, quietly looking at the full moon in the sky for a long time without saying a word.

　　After the conversation with Li Xiaoxiao that night, Zhou Yun finally realized the gap between himself and Li Wanqiu. In the next thirteen days, Zhou Yun had been hunting ferocious beasts with all his strength. From the initial ten thousand points per day, Zhou Yun's speed had reached more than fifteen thousand points per day.

　　Although the score increase was not much, Zhou Yun's combat ability was constantly improving.

　　The ferocious beasts that Zhou Yun hunted were all in the middle stage of organ training and blood exchange, with one in every two thousand. It was not difficult to find such beasts, but the combat power of ferocious beasts was generally stronger than that of human warriors with the same level of cultivation. Zhou Yun could only rely on his powerful martial arts to deal with the beasts, wait for the beasts to show a flaw, and then kill them with one blow.

　　After such training, Zhou Yun found that his ability to use the Myriad Thunder Fist and the Shadow Knife Sect's secret techniques had been improved to a higher level.

　　Zhou Yun knew that there was still room for improvement in the All-Seeing Thunder Fist, but he always felt that his application of the Shadow Knife Sect's secret techniques was already very powerful. However, after this series of extremely intense battles, Zhou Yun discovered that he could indeed do better.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun was fighting with a ferocious beast that was completely fiery red, had a wolf-like head, and was covered in thick scales.

　　This ferocious beast is an adult beast that has reached the middle stage of organ training and blood transfusion, the Flame Armored Wolf.

　　Although this fire wolf is not fast due to its heavy armor covering its entire body, its attack strength is very strong. The flames it spews from its mouth can almost be instantaneous, making it extremely difficult to defend against. More importantly, the scales on its body are also extremely defensive. The sword energy released by Zhou Yun can rarely directly break through the scales covering its entire body and cause serious damage.

　　This was another long and fierce battle. During the battle, Zhou Yun completely abandoned his impatience and carried out his attack and defense in a methodical manner, trying not to give the Flame Armored Wolf any chance to hurt him. This rigorous style was also something Zhou Yun had summed up himself in the past few days.

　　In a battle ten days ago, Zhou Yun was too aggressive in his desire to kill the beast quickly and get the most points, and was almost seriously injured by a Thunder Roar Beast. After that, Zhou Yun began to try to be stable and cautious in battle, and gradually gained the upper hand.

　　Although Zhou Yun's sword energy was unable to cause fatal damage to the Flame Armored Wolf, the scattered damage gradually accumulated and had an effect.

　　Under Zhou Yun's continuous attacks, the flame armored wolf finally slowed down.

　　"It's time!" Seeing that the flame-armored wolf showed signs of weakness, Zhou Yun's eyes immediately lit up. A burst of blue lightning suddenly appeared above his feet, and Zhou Yun's footsteps immediately became fast and mysterious.

　　"Nine Steps of Thunder Cloud!" With a low shout, Zhou Yun directly used a move from the third level of the All-Elephant Thunder Fist. Carrying the power of rolling thunder and lightning, Zhou Yun quickly took nine steps around the flaming armored wolf.

　　These nine steps were extremely skillful, and each one was on the possible route of retreat of the Flame Armored Wolf, forcing the Flame Armored Wolf to circle in place.

　　Finally, after completing the step, Zhou Yun retreated violently, and a bolt of lightning immediately gushed out from the palm of his hand.

　　Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…

　　As the power of thunder and lightning leaped up, nine thunderbolts as thick as bowls immediately struck down one after another where Zhou Yun stepped.

　　There was no way to hide, and the nine lightning pills almost all hit the Flame Armored Wolf's already very heavy body, and instantly, the Flame Armored Wolf was completely split into a piece of black charcoal.

　　"Zhou Yun, you killed another one, that's great. Today's score should be over 20,000!" Seeing Zhou Yun finish the battle, Li Xiaoxiao, who was hiding far away, ran out immediately and cheered around Zhou Yun.

　　"Yes, today's score has exceeded 20,000. It's time for us to go back." With a light slash of the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber in his hand, Zhou Yun peeled out the Yuandan of the Flame Armor Wolf. After putting away the Yuandan, Zhou Yun looked at the sky and spoke slowly.

　　It was almost dark at this time, and Li Wanqiu's retreat in the ancient training chamber was about to end. It was time to make an exchange.

　　In thirteen days, Zhou Yun obtained 200,000 points. With the more than 40,000 points he got from Lei Rong and others, Zhou Yun's total score was 240,000.

　　But compared to Li Wanqiu's 400,000, Zhou Yun was still far behind. Moreover, this was when Zhou Yun did not give any points to Li Xiaoxiao. If we only looked at the pure points, Zhou Yun's score was just one-third of Li Wanqiu's.

　　Naturally knowing that such a gap could not be made up in a short period of time, Zhou Yun did not dwell on it or force it.

　　"Let's go, Xiaoxiao, let's go back." After putting away the beast's Yuandan, Zhou Yun smiled at Li Xiaoxiao.

　　"Yeah." Nodding happily, Li Xiaoxiao followed Zhou Yun, and the two walked towards the exit of Examination Room No. 1 together.

　　Chapter 133: Secret Love

　　Having been in this examination room for thirteen days, Zhou Yun was familiar with everything here, not to mention that Li Xiaoxiao had been here twice and was very familiar with everything here. Lingdian did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and the two of them returned to the living area of ​​the Shenwei training camp smoothly.

　　"Zhou Yun, can you accompany me to Sister Wanqiu's place first?" After entering the living area, Li Xiaoxiao still held Zhou Yun's hand, looking at Zhou Yun with bright eyes, and spoke expectantly.

　　"Of course I have to send you there. It can be regarded as completing the handover." Nodding, Zhou Yun smiled bitterly. This time, Li Xiaoxiao had worked hard with him for more than ten days in vain, but in the end she got nothing.

　　All the points for hunting ferocious beasts were given to Zhou Yun by Li Xiaoxiao, and Li Xiaoxiao did not complain at all about the hardships along the way, which touched Zhou Yun deeply. He wanted to say some words of thanks to Li Xiaoxiao, but no matter what words he used, they felt pale when he really said them. Zhou Yun could only choose not to mention it, but he had already silently kept this friendship in his heart.

　　Without thinking too much, Li Xiaoxiao saw that Zhou Yun agreed and immediately took him to the small building where Li Wanqiu lived.

　　Walking in the living area of ​​the Shenwei training camp, Zhou Yun instinctively felt that many vigilant and hostile eyes were looming over him.

　　Naturally, he knew that this was due to the impact of his killing of Lei Rong and others more than ten days ago. Faced with such a situation, Zhou Yun could only remain calm and ignore it.

　　Soon, the two of them walked together to the small building where Li Wanqiu was.

　　In the hall on the first floor, Li Wanqiu, dressed in white, was sitting there, holding a book in his hands and reading it carefully.

　　Feeling someone coming in, Li Wanqiu turned her right hand slightly, and the book disappeared from her hand.

　　"Zhou Yun, Xiaoxiao, you're back." Standing up, Li Wanqiu asked with a gentle smile while wanting to pour tea for them.

　　Facing Li Wanqiu, whose expression was as calm as water, Zhou Yun suddenly felt a little ashamed. He had made a bet with Li Wanqiu, but now he broke the promise.

　　"Third Princess, the princess has returned safely. I will take my leave first." After bowing to Li Wanqiu, Zhou Yun left a few words and turned to walk towards the door.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's actions, Li Wanqiu seemed a little stunned, and Li Xiaoxiao, who was originally preparing to go up and talk to Li Wanqiu, immediately turned around and followed Zhou Yun out.

　　"Zhou Yun, don't work so hard. Go back and have a good rest for a night before going to the examination room. Don't forget, you still have to take care of me in three days." Standing on the stone steps at the door, Li Xiaoxiao raised her hands to make a trumpet shape and called out softly to Zhou Yun.

　　"I understand." Hearing Li Xiaoxiao's relaxed and lively words, Zhou Yun's steps immediately paused, and then he started walking again.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's thin figure but with a reassuring strength gradually walking away, Li Xiaoxiao also showed a happy smile on her face.

　　"Xiaoxiao, do you like him?" At this time, Li Wanqiu had also walked out of the house and stood beside Li Xiaoxiao. Looking at her little sister's happy expression, Li Wanqiu also smiled and asked gently.

　　Her pretty face suddenly turned red, and Li Xiaoxiao seemed a little flustered for a moment, but she recovered in an instant, with a proud expression on her face, as if she had chosen the most precious treasure in the world.

　　"Yes, Sister Wanqiu, I think he is really good. He is different from all the men around me. It is an indescribable feeling. I feel safe and reliable. I feel comfortable and relaxed when I am with him. I like being with him." Still looking at Zhou Yun's back, Li Xiaoxiao spoke softly.

　　"Zhou Yun is indeed good, but the gap between your statuses is quite large. I'm afraid you will suffer in the future." Looking at Li Xiaoxiao who was obviously trapped, Li Wanqiu spoke gently.

　　Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao's lips pouted immediately, and a savage expression reappeared on her pretty face. "Humph, I've chosen him. After this training camp is over, I'll go back and tell my father about it. I'm sure he won't object. Besides, Zhou Yun is making such rapid progress, he will definitely be a star of the Tianyuan Dynasty in the future."

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao defending Zhou Yun like this, Li Wanqiu's face also revealed a helpless look. At this time, Zhou Yun had already walked into his own small building, and Li Wanqiu also turned around and walked back with Li Xiaoxiao.

　　As they walked, Li Wanqiu asked, "Xiaoxiao, how much did you gain this time?"

　　Li Xiaoxiao immediately became happy again when she mentioned this experience with Zhou Yun. "Sister Wanqiu, Zhou Yun is really amazing and has made rapid progress. This time we got a total of 240,000 points. In addition to the 40,000 points he got from Lei Rong and the others, the other 200,000 points were earned by him hunting beasts."

　　"This Zhou Yun is really a troublemaker. This time he has offended the third prince badly." It would have been fine if Lei Rong had not been mentioned originally, but when Li Wanqiu heard Li Xiaoxiao mention Lei Rong, he shook his head helplessly again.

　　Li Xiaoxiao is a child at heart, while Zhou Yun is the kind of madman who is decisive and reckless. The two of them together are really enough to give people a headache. However, after Zhou Yun's actions this time, I'm afraid Li Fengyun will be frightened and dare not provoke Zhou Yun easily.

　　After all, Zhou Yun's strength in the battle on the square that day was extremely strong, and Li would definitely win if he fought against Zhou Yun. If he failed, Zhou Yun might really kill him directly.

　　Li Fengyun, who is cautious by nature, would never take this risk. It can be said that Zhou Yun's killing spree has won him a stable environment for the future in the Shenwei training camp.

　　Naturally, she didn't know that Li Wanqiu actually had a high opinion of Zhou Yun's actions. After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Li Xiaoxiao said disapprovingly, "What does it matter? It's better to offend him. In this way, he can only support the Eighth Prince. In this way, there may be fewer obstacles between us."

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao trying her best to protect Zhou Yun, Li Wanqiu once again showed a helpless smile on his face. Instead of talking about Zhou Yun's amazing feat, Li Wanqiu changed the subject, "Xiaoxiao, you got 240,000 beast points this time. Add the part I gave you, and you will definitely be ranked in the top three in the final evaluation. I talked with Xie Changtian this afternoon. He has had new insights in his cultivation recently and is not in a hurry to hunt beasts. He has been in seclusion most of the time. Now his points for hunting beasts are only 110,000. I'm afraid he can only rank in the top five at most. In this way, it's almost a sure thing for you to get into the top three."

　　Li Xiaoxiao had already earned 100,000 points in the few days she was with her. Zhou Yun also wanted to share 60,000 of the 240,000 points he earned from taking her out to hunt beasts with her. In this way, Zhou Yun's points were 180,000, only 20,000 more than Li Xiaoxiao's 160,000.

　　Li Xiaoxiao will have three days to train with her. Li Wanqiu is confident that she can help Li Xiaoxiao narrow the gap, and even increase Li Xiaoxiao's advantage to the point where Zhou Yun cannot catch up.

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Li Xiaoxiao blinked her beautiful big eyes and a naughty and mysterious smile appeared on her face, but she didn't say anything.

　　"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong? Are you hiding something from me?" Having grown up together almost since childhood, Li Wanqiu was undoubtedly very familiar with Li Xiaoxiao, her little sister. As soon as she saw Li Xiaoxiao's naughty expression, Li Wanqiu knew that she must be hiding something from her.

　　Li Xiaoxiao raised her little face towards Li Wanqiu and laughed, "Sister Wanqiu, I didn't take any of Zhou Yun's 240,000 points. I gave them all to him. Now his cultivation is stuck at the peak of tendon training. He has neither secret manuals nor treasures. I want him to get into the top three once so that he can go to the treasure house to choose something. This will help him break through. The monthly top three spots in the Shenwei Training Camp will play a much greater role for him than for me."

　　"What?" As soon as Li Xiaoxiao finished speaking, even a woman as calm as Li Wanqiu couldn't help but be surprised.

　　She instinctively wanted to scold him, but seeing the joy on Li Xiaoxiao's face, as if Zhou Yun was happier than she was for getting the top three, Li Wanqiu swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

　　"You." Shaking his head helplessly, Li Wanqiu stopped talking and let Li Xiaoxiao immerse herself in her own little happiness.

　　After more than ten days of training, both Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao were very tired. There were still six days left before the end of this month's monthly assessment. They should have a good rest tonight. For the next six days, Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu would practice with Li Xiaoxiao in the mountains for three days each.

　　In order to get enough rest, Zhou Yun did not practice all night for the first time, but lay down to rest early.

　　Zhou Yun had already started to rest, but in the capital, the lights in the main house of Lanxin Garden in the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan were still on.

　　Through the window, you can clearly see a slender figure sitting quietly at the desk under the candlelight, studying attentively.

　　Looking at the slender and beautiful figure, Lin Juntian, who was standing in the yard, sighed silently.

　　"Brother, is that you?" As soon as Lin Juntian sighed, Lin Junyao, who was concentrating on reading, immediately heard it. She opened the window and asked outside.

　　Seeing that his arrival was discovered by his sister, Lin Juntian did not stay in the yard any longer, but went straight into Lin Junyao's room.

　　As soon as he entered Lin Junyao's room, Lin Juntian immediately saw a thick, ancient book on his sister's desk. Knowing that his sister was still reading hard, Lin Juntian immediately asked with concern, "Junyao, aren't you going to rest yet?"

　　With a smile on her innocent and beautiful face, Lin Junyao whispered, "I'm not too sleepy yet. I want to continue reading the music books. The annual Lanting Festival will be held in three days. It's time for me to participate this year. No matter what, I can't let our Pingnan Duke's Mansion down."

　　The Lanting Festival was a regular event hosted by the Empress of the Tianyuan Dynasty. It was held once a year to test the talents of the daughters of the rich and powerful who were over 15 years old. It was also to promote the virtues of women in the Tianyuan Dynasty. The top three winners of each event would receive generous rewards.

　　Not only will they be promoted to a higher rank and obtain a precious canonized status, but they will also receive many precious rewards. More importantly, if they can perform outstandingly at such a grand event, they may even be betrothed to several princes and soar to fame.

　　Lin Junyao was naturally not aiming to compete for the top three in this event. Her status was already very high. If she was promoted and canonized, she would be able to obtain the title of princess. In this way, the distance between her and Zhou Yun would be further widened.

　　Moreover, many of the princes and noble ladies who had won the top three in the past were assigned to princes of the current dynasty by the queen, which was something Lin Junyao did not want.

　　By participating in this grand event, Lin Junyao only wanted to display her talents appropriately so as not to bring shame to the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion.

　　Chapter 133 Li Wanqiu's Breakthrough

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's calm face, Lin Juntian didn't know how to persuade her for a moment.

　　After a short silence, Lin Juntian finally spoke, "Jun Yao, the position of the princess is actually very important to you. With the position of princess, your status will be higher than it is now. If Zhou Yun makes you angry in the future, you will be able to suppress him."

　　When Lin Juntian saw that Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao were very close in the letter sent back from the Shenwei Training Camp, he had the idea of ​​persuading Lin Junyao. From the description in the letter, Lin Juntian could naturally see that it was Li Xiaoxiao who took the initiative to pester Zhou Yun, and it was not Zhou Yun who wanted to follow Li Xiaoxiao.

　　But no matter what, once Li Xiaoxiao really falls in love with Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao will definitely suffer due to her status as a princess.

　　Lin Juntian naturally knew the talent of his sister. After returning from the South China Sea, Lin Junyao had been living in seclusion and rarely showed up. Many people even said that the daughter of the Duke of Pingnan was the most mysterious daughter in the capital. They had always been curious about Lin Junyao. There were also people who wanted to invite Lin Junyao to some gatherings of aristocratic women in the name of other noble ladies to take the opportunity to see her true appearance, but these requests were rejected by Lin Junyao one by one, resulting in Lin Junyao still maintaining a mysterious veil in the capital.

　　Although Lin Junyao still lives in seclusion in the capital, outsiders know very little about her and do not know how talented she is. But as Lin Junyao's brother, Lin Juntian knows that Lin Junyao is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is very knowledgeable in poetry, etiquette, and interpersonal relationships. If we only talk about talent, she is definitely the top candidate in the entire Shangjing City.

　　If Lin Junyao is willing to try her best, it is not impossible for her to win the first place in the Lanting Festival, let alone just entering the top three and winning the title of a princess.

　　But now, Lin Junyao has no such idea at all, which is what makes Lin Juntian most worried.

　　Looking at Lin Juntian with watery eyes, Lin Junyao smiled and said, "Brother, I believe Zhou Yun. If he really betrays me in the future, then even if I am the princess, I will not feel happy."

　　Lin Junyao's words left Lin Juntian speechless. He knew that his sister was single-mindedly determined to be with Zhou Yun, and he also knew his sister's character and that she respected women's virtues. Once she chose Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao would rely on Zhou Yun wholeheartedly and would not have any other ideas.

　　It is indeed as Lin Junyao said. If Zhou Yun betrayed her, then what is the point of being a princess?

　　Seeing that his sister had made such a decision, Lin Juntian could only sigh and turn away.

　　Watching her brother leave, Lin Junyao showed a peaceful smile on her face. She opened the book in front of her and continued reading.

　　In the Shenwei training camp, after a night's rest, Zhou Yun's spirit has recovered to a fully full state again.

　　After leaving the living area of ​​the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun once again plunged into the action of hunting ferocious beasts. Now Zhou Yun's points for hunting ferocious beasts have reached 240,000. Such a result can almost ensure that Zhou Yun will be in the top three, but Zhou Yun still can't help but continue to work hard.

　　Only Zhou Yun himself knew how important this opportunity was. If he could not enter the top three and obtain a treasure that could help him enter the realm of internal organ training and blood exchange, the road ahead would be extremely difficult.

　　Since Li Xiaoxiao was not around, Zhou Yun simply skipped the night rest and relied on his strong physical strength to fight continuously in Examination Room No. 1.

　　For three days, Zhou Yun hunted non-stop and actually earned another 100,000 points in just three days.

　　puff!

　　With a slight sound, blood flashed from the seven-inch position of a giant golden snake. Looking again, the ferocious beast had been pierced by a spear, and its entire body was nailed to the ground.

　　Bang bang bang!

　　Surprised by the huge pain, the giant golden python twisted its body wildly and slapped the ground vigorously, but half of the spear had already penetrated deeply into the ground, completely nailing its body to the ground. No matter how it struggled, it could not get free.

　　The seven-inch point is the vital point of all snakes. The golden python was directly pierced through the seven-inch point. Even if it was very powerful, it no longer had the power to resist.

　　After struggling in vain for a while, the giant python finally straightened its body and stopped struggling.

　　Standing far away, Zhou Yun walked over only after confirming that the giant python was completely dead. He took out the inner elixir of the giant python, and then put the entire body of the giant python into the space ring.

　　Through the two previous battles with Han Shuo and Lei Rong, Zhou Yun not only obtained a lot of money, treasures, weapons, and elixirs, but also thirteen space rings. This time, these scarce resources from the outside world have become common goods in Zhou Yun's place.

　　Basically, the internal space of each of these space rings is larger than Zhou Yun's original one. Lei Rong's space ring even has a space of more than ten meters in radius. In the later battles, Zhou Yun rarely used the All-Things Thunder Fist to directly electrocute the ferocious beasts into charred charcoal. He tried to solve the problem with weapons as much as possible, then took out the Yuan Dan and collected the corpses of the ferocious beasts.

　　Because Zhou Yun knew that although these corpses were left here and no one wanted them, if they were taken out, each one would probably be worth a fortune!

　　After dealing with the giant golden python, Zhou Yun looked at the sky, then turned around and climbed up the giant mountain above Examination Room No. 1.

　　There are still two hours left before the agreed time for handing over to Lin Wanqiu. Zhou Yun has not rested for three whole days, and now he needs to replenish his strength. After all, he will be training with Li Xiaoxiao for the next three days.

　　If Li Xiaoxiao was in danger due to his overwork and negligence, Zhou Yun would never forgive himself.

　　He no longer wanted to fight, and he used his spiritual sense to avoid the surrounding beasts. A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Yun had arrived at the junction of the area where the beasts in the middle stage of blood exchange and the beasts in the peak stage of blood exchange appeared.

　　After fighting for some time, Zhou Yun has figured out the rules of this examination hall. The connecting area where two beasts of different strength levels appear often has a relatively safe and narrow buffer zone, and the handover point agreed upon by Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu is in this buffer zone.

　　Having arrived at the junction, Zhou Yun found a big tree, jumped up directly, and sat cross-legged there.

　　Time was limited, so Zhou Yun did not enter the space inside the boundary crystal. Instead, he used the simplest breathing method to restore his true strength and spirit.

　　At this moment, the sun was about to rise. There was silence in the dense forest. Zhou Yun adjusted his breathing silently and gradually merged with the surrounding environment.

　　In the dense forest, the sun gradually rose. In a hidden cave, feeling the sunlight, Li Xiaoxiao finally stretched lazily and sat up.

　　"Awake?" Feeling the movement of Li Xiaoxiao beside him, Li Wanqiu immediately spoke gently.

　　Still a little confused, Li Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes cutely and said coquettishly, "Sister Wanqiu, I want to drink some water."

　　A smile appeared on her beautiful face. Li Wanqiu gently held her hand, and a kettle appeared in her hand. "Here, drink."

　　As the emperor's daughter and the princess of the current dynasty, Li Xiaoxiao is probably the only one who can serve tea and water.

　　"Hmm." With her eyes still unable to open, Li Xiaoxiao responded in a naive tone. She took the kettle, held it in both hands, and began to drink from it in small sips like a little mouse stealing food.

　　After drinking a few sips of water, Li Xiaoxiao's head finally became clearer and her eyes became brighter.

　　Turning around, Li Xiaoxiao looked at Li Wanqiu, who had been sitting next to her all night. As soon as she saw him, Li Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately lit up.

　　Li Wanqiu at this moment is very different from how she was before she went to bed last night. Her whole person seems to have become clearer all of a sudden. Her casual frowns and smiles are in line with the way of nature, giving people an extremely comfortable feeling.

　　It seemed that everything Li Wanqiu did was right, and that mysterious feeling made Li Xiaoxiao extremely surprised.

　　"Sister Wanqiu? You have made a breakthrough!" Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Li Xiaoxiao spoke with a look of surprise.

　　She naturally knew that Li Wanqiu had already reached the peak of her internal organ exchange before entering the Shenwei training camp. This time she entered the Shenwei training camp to find insights that would allow her to break through the most difficult level of martial arts and enter the Saint realm. Now it seemed that within just one month of entering the camp, Li Wanqiu had already achieved her goal and officially entered the Martial Saint realm!

　　"Yeah." Nodding, Li Wanqiu naturally took the kettle handed to him by Li Xiaoxiao. After a slight flash, the kettle disappeared again.

　　"Ah!" After getting a positive answer, Li Xiaoxiao immediately screamed with joy. The whole person immediately became full of energy, and the confusion and tiredness of the early morning disappeared. "Sister Wanqiu, you are really great!" Surrounding Li Wanqiu, Li Xiaoxiao celebrated like a child.

　　After letting Li Xiaoxiao have fun for a while, Li Wanqiu got up and helped Li Xiaoxiao tidy up the quilt and put it into the space ring.

　　"Xiaoxiao, it's almost the time agreed with Zhou Yun. Do you still want to go down? In fact, it might be better for him to practice alone down there. I can continue to train you here. If you are afraid of surpassing him in points, then just take fewer points." After everything was sorted out, Li Wanqiu looked at the sky outside and saw that it was almost time, so he turned around and spoke to Li Xiaoxiao.

　　Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao immediately shook her head.

　　"Sister Wanqiu, I want to go down and be with Zhou Yun. I'm not worried about the points, I just want to spend more time with him." With a bright smile on her face, Li Xiaoxiao said happily. Today, she encountered two happy events immediately. One was that Li Wanqiu's cultivation level had broken through, and Li Xiaoxiao was happy for her. The other one, of course, was that she would be able to see Zhou Yun soon.

　　Although it is very happy to be with Li Wanqiu, how can it compare to being with Zhou Yun?

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao like this, Li Wanqiu shook his head helplessly, "Okay, if that's the case, let's go."

　　"Okay!" Li Xiaoxiao responded cheerfully and followed Li Wanqiu out of the cave.

　　At the agreed location, Zhou Yun was still sitting on the big tree, silently regulating his breathing, and the spiritual sense he released also covered the surrounding area within 300 meters.

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun felt an extremely powerful breath entering the sensing range and immediately opened his eyes.

　　At this moment, the figures of Li Wanqiu and Li Xiaoxiao walking together in the distance immediately came into Zhou Yun's sight.

　　"I haven't seen you for a few days. The Third Princess's power has become so much stronger!" Although Li Wanqiu was just walking quietly and didn't use any power at all, Zhou Yun could clearly feel the strong aura on her.

　　Since people had already arrived, Zhou Yun naturally couldn't stay on the tree any longer. He let out a sigh of relief, stopped practicing, stood up, and jumped down from the big tree.

　　"Zhou Yun!" Li Xiaoxiao saw Zhou Yun jumping down from the tree the first time. She shouted happily and immediately ran towards Zhou Yun. She grabbed Zhou Yun's hands with her little hands.

　　Although Li Xiaoxiao, who was nearby, was extremely beautiful and charming, Zhou Yun's attention was still focused on the white figure in the distance who was smiling faintly.

　　"Xiaoxiao will be handed over to you for the next three days, Zhou Yun. You must protect her safety." Li Wanqiu gave Zhou Yun gentle instructions, feeling as comfortable as a breeze. Then, he turned back and climbed to the top of the mountain again along the same route he came.

　　Looking at Li Wanqiu's receding back, Zhou Yun's heart gradually became hot.

　　Chapter 134 Lanting Festival

　　"Has the third princess made a breakthrough?" At this moment, Li Wanqiu's back had already disappeared into the distance, but Zhou Yun was still looking in the direction where Li Wanqiu had left, and spoke silently.

　　"You noticed it too?" Hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately smiled, "Yes, it should have happened last night. Sister Wanqiu broke through to the Martial Saint realm. This should be able to give the Eighth Prince greater help."

　　Zhou Yun didn't know much about these royal secrets, and he didn't want to inquire too much. He retracted his gaze. His expression returned to normal again, but there was a firmness in his eyes.

　　"Okay, let's continue with our training. There are still three days left. My current points are 340,000. There are still three days left, and I can add another insurance." Zhou Yun took out the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber with a gentle arm hold and spoke calmly.

　　"Okay." Upon hearing that Zhou Yun had obtained 100,000 points in these three days, Li Xiaoxiao's face immediately showed a happy expression. She responded happily and began to follow Zhou Yun and continued to hone her skills in the giant mountain of Examination Room No. 1.

　　The sun rises, and the capital city, which was quiet at night, becomes active again. The early morning in the capital city is usually busy but also comfortable. Of course, this busyness belongs to the working people living in the capital city, while the comfort belongs to the princes and nobles.

　　In the south of Shangjing City, a small building at the intersection of two streets also opened its door at this moment.

　　This small building was the courtyard bought by Mu Tie and others who followed Zhou Yun. The small building in front has been turned into a teahouse. After a month of operation, the business of this teahouse is already good. In addition to the usual tea and snacks, this small teahouse also makes some breakfast in the morning to entertain some working people in the capital.

　　The south of the city was originally a market area and a civilian area. Mu Tie and others opened a teahouse here, so they naturally chose the right place.

　　"Xiao Tie, quickly bring the porridge over, as well as the noodles and eggs made yesterday." As soon as he opened the door, Old Man Mu immediately saw that there were many people waiting in front of the door wanting to buy breakfast. On weekdays, there weren't so many people at this time. Although he didn't know what was going on today, Old Man Mu still responded quickly.

　　"Okay!" After answering, Mu Tie and Zhang Hao immediately brought a big pot full of hot porridge over. Although the pot was very hot and heavy, it was not a problem for Mu Tie and Zhang Hao who had practiced.

　　Mu Tie has already reached the initial stage of tendon training. After some time of Mu Tie's guidance, Zhang Hao has also entered the bone training realm and is much stronger than before.

　　The two of them worked together to carry a large pot to the front hall. After taking out the prepared pancakes and eggs, the teahouse finally started its official business.

　　"Boss, one bowl of porridge and two flatbreads."

　　"Shopkeeper, I don't want any porridge. Give me two bread rolls and two eggs. Wrap them up and I'll take them away."

　　After everything was laid out, the diners immediately started calling out for food.

　　"Oh, well, this is yours."

　　"Don't worry, here are your bread and eggs, take your time."

　　Old Man Mu is now the owner of this teahouse. Since this teahouse does not hire any other servants, even the owner has to come out to work. Old Man Mu is responsible for distributing food to the diners, Mu Tie is responsible for waiting tables, and Zhang Hao is responsible for collecting money. The three of them are very busy.

　　Finally, the diners waiting in line outside got their food, and Old Man Mu and Zhang Hao finally had some free time.

　　"Little Mouse, these people are so weird today." After being busy for a while, Old Man Mu started chatting with Zhang Hao beside him. After spending some time together, Old Man Mu and Zhang Hao had become very familiar with each other. Seeing that Zhang Hao managed the entire teahouse in an orderly manner and had harmonious relationships with all kinds of people, Old Man Mu admired Zhang Hao more and more.

　　"What's so strange?" Zhang Hao, who was busy calculating accounts, responded casually when he heard old man Mu's question.

　　Looking at the almost half-empty tables in the hall, Old Man Mu asked in confusion, "Little Mouse, look, very few of the diners who came today ate in our restaurant. Many of them took their food away directly. Even those who stayed in the restaurant to eat finished their meals in a few bites, and didn't even stay for long. They were in a hurry. These people are not like this usually. What do you think, is something big going to happen in the capital?"

　　Zhang Hao laughed as soon as he heard what Old Man Mu said. "Old Man Mu, don't you know what day it is today?"

　　"What day?" Zhang Hao was the one who smoothed out all the relationships in the store. Old Man Mu couldn't do it, so he simply didn't care about it. Therefore, he really didn't know much about what was going on in the capital.

　　Seeing that Father Mu didn't even know this, Zhang Hao felt a little helpless, but he still patiently explained to Father Mu, "Today is the annual Lanting Festival in Shangjing City, hosted by the current queen. All the noble ladies in the entire dynasty who are fifteen years old or older will be invited to the Lanting Academy to have a discussion and test their talents. The Lanting Academy is built in the eastern suburbs of Shangjing City. All princes and noble ladies will go out from the east gate and go to the Lanting Academy."

　　"During the event, all the noble ladies rode in open carriages. This was a rare opportunity to see the beauty of many noble ladies of the dynasty. This was a major event in the capital. I'm afraid these people rushed to the official road outside the East Gate early to grab a seat."

　　"Oh. Is that so." After hearing what Zhang Hao said, Old Man Mu's eyes lit up and he spoke absentmindedly.

　　Seeing Old Man Mu's look, Zhang Hao, who was already a shrewd man, immediately realized that old man Mu also wanted to join in the fun.

　　Sure enough, after looking at the few customers in the store, Father Mu turned around and said to Zhang Hao, "Little Mouse, look, we have been in Beijing for a month and have not been to any place. We have been staying in this store the whole time. There is such a grand event today, and there are not many people in our store. Why don't we close the store for a morning and go take a look together?"

　　Although he has a good cultivation level, Old Man Mu is ultimately just an ordinary citizen, and watching the fun is what these ordinary people love most.

　　After hearing what Father Mu said, Zhang Hao thought for a moment and said slowly, "Let's go. It just so happens that the daughter of the Duke of Pingnan will also attend the Lanting event. Doesn't our young master have a good relationship with the Duke of Pingnan's mansion? Maybe the daughter of the Duke of Pingnan is the girl that the young master likes. Let's go and take a look."

　　"Really? Then we really have to go there right away. This time, I'll bring Xiao Mu with me so that he can see what kind of person the daughter of the Duke of Pingnan is." As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Old Man Mu's face. They were still very concerned about Zhou Yun.

　　Now Zhou Yun has taken refuge in the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan. Although they don't know the specific details, Zhou Yun told them before he left that if they encounter any troubles they can go to the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan to find the Prince of Pingnan.

　　In this case, since it was something related to the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion and it was such a prosperous time, they naturally had to join in the fun.

　　"Xiao Tie, go find the door panel quickly. We have to close early today." Thinking of this, Old Man Mu immediately shouted to Mu Tie in the distance.

　　Mu Tie was a little stunned by being yelled at by Old Man Mu. Although he didn't know why they had to close the business so early, he still did as he was told. After all, there weren't many customers today. "Okay."

　　In response, Mu Tie immediately found two door panels and blocked half of the teahouse's main entrance. He also hung a closed sign at the door and waited for the remaining few diners in the hall to finish their meal before closing the shop.

　　Looking at the busy Mu Tie, Old Man Mu said to Zhang Hao, "Little Mouse, you and Xiao Tie stay here, I'll go back to see Xiao Mu and help her tidy up."

　　Since she was going out, little Mu Yue had to "dress up". After arriving in the capital, her living environment improved, she ate well and slept well. Little Mu Yue became more and more beautiful. Although she was only an eleven-year-old girl, she was already very cute. At first glance, she was a beauty picked out of thousands.

　　There will be many people around this time, so Father Mu will naturally dress up little Mu Yue.

　　"Dad Mu, you go ahead and leave this to me." Zhang Hao nodded and smiled.

　　After getting Zhang Hao's promise, Old Man Mu immediately smiled and trotted to the backyard.

　　The holding of the Lanting Festival plunged the entire Shangjing City into jubilation. Not only the people of Shangjing City, but also the people from many surrounding towns took the trouble to come to the capital just to catch a glimpse of the beauty of these noble ladies of the dynasty.

　　It can be said that the Lanting Festival has become an annual grand event in the capital city.

　　The people in Shangjing City were jubilant, but at this time, in the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan, Lin Junyao's Lanxin Garden was also tense.

　　Of course, these nervous people were not the protagonists of today. Lin Junyao, who was actually attending the Lanting event in the mansion, just sat there calmly without any strange emotions.

　　Wearing a lake green wide-sleeved lotus dress, with her hair tied up like a phoenix, and a little makeup, Lin Junyao looked particularly beautiful today.

　　To be fair, this outfit is not particularly eye-catching, it is just plain and ordinary, but Lin Junyao wears it with a unique temperament that makes people want to take a few more glances.

　　"Jun Yao, why don't you just wear two of these flower fairy finger rings? Don't they look a little too plain?" Everything about Lin Jun Yao seemed very plain today. She didn't wear overly formal attire, nor did she put on heavy makeup. Even her choice of jewelry was extremely simple.

　　Although Lin Junyao herself thought this was a good thing, others couldn't help but worry about her.

　　Zhou Xue and Fang Xueyin helped Lin Junyao with her makeup. Looking at Lin Junyao's hands folded on her knees, Zhou Xue spoke with some concern.

　　"Sister, there's no need for that. I've already put on some light pink nail polish, so it's not too monotonous. If I wear flower fairy finger gloves, it won't match my clothes." Looking at Zhou Xue who had been busy running around for her since early morning, Lin Junyao smiled.

　　Seeing that Zhou Xue was still trying to persuade her, Fang Xueyin spoke first, "Actually, this is already very good. Jun Yao's fingers are slender, and they are still beautiful even without finger gloves. Besides, the Lanting Festival will probably test the zither skills. If she wears finger gloves, she will have to take them off and put them aside. It will be too rude and a bit artificial, which is not beautiful."

　　Fang Xueyin had participated in the Lanting Festival before. Although seven years had passed, everything about the festival was still fresh in her memory. As someone who had experienced it, Fang Xueyin naturally had to offer advice to Lin Junyao.

　　After hearing what Fang Xueyin said, Zhou Xue no longer insisted. Putting down the Flower Fairy Finger Ring in her hand, Zhou Xue took two steps back, bent down and carefully looked at Lin Junyao in front of her for the final confirmation.

　　The more she looked, the happier Zhou Xue felt. Such a good girl actually fell in love with her younger brother. Could this be the blessing she earned in her previous life?

　　As she thought about it, Zhou Xue couldn't help but reveal a smile of relief on her face.

　　"Madam, the flower car is ready." Suddenly, a respectful voice came from outside the door, immediately drawing Zhou Xue's attention back. The flower car was ready, and it was finally time for Lin Junyao to go out.

　　Chapter 135: Empress Xiao

　　Hearing the voice outside, Lin Junyao stood up, a gentle smile appeared on her pretty face, and she said to the two people beside her, "Sister Xue, sister-in-law, I'm leaving."

　　Originally, when Lin Junyao met Fang Xueyin, she also called her Sister Xueyin, but Fang Xueyin and Zhou Xue's names were a little bit conflicting, so it was not easy to call them together. Lin Junyao naturally called Fang Xueyin Sister-in-law. In her opinion, there was no problem with calling her this way, Fang Xueyin was destined to marry into the Lin family.

　　Fang Xueyin, who was always calm, couldn't help but blush when she heard Lin Junyao's address, but she still said, "Okay, go quickly, don't feel burdened, just be yourself."

　　"Yeah." Nodding, Lin Junyao turned and walked out of Lanxinyuan.

　　In front of the courtyard, an exquisite open-top float had already parked there, and Lin Juntian was standing next to the float, looking at Lin Junyao with a smile.

　　"Jun Yao, don't be nervous." Looking at his bright and beautiful sister, Lin Juntian couldn't help but remind her with a smile.

　　"I understand." Lin Junyao nodded and responded, but the smile on her face remained the same. In fact, she didn't feel nervous at all. Having no desires or requests was Lin Junyao's attitude towards this Lanting event.

　　Perhaps many noble ladies of the dynasty attached great importance to the Lanting Festival and even started preparing for it two or three years in advance, but these were never a problem for Lin Junyao.

　　Ever since she met Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao had set her sights on Zhou Yun. The so-called position of princess, being assigned to the prince, marrying into the royal family, these things were all like clouds in Lin Junyao's eyes and did not attract her attention at all.

　　With steady steps, Lin Junyao stepped onto the float and sat down in the center.

　　After gently waving to Lin Juntian, Fang Xueying and Zhou Xue behind him, the float started slowly, carrying Lin Junyao away from the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion.

　　In the eastern district of the capital, where princes and nobles gathered, flower carriages had emerged from various high-ranking courtyards. At this time, in the eastern suburbs of Shangjing City, the Lanting Academy was already ready to receive these royal ladies.

　　The Lanting Academy was originally a zither academy in the previous dynasty. After the fall of the previous dynasty, the Tianyuan Dynasty Li family converted it into an academy to serve some princes and nobles. The Lanting Academy did not hold classes regularly, but it gathered many learned people in the academy.

　　The students of the academy usually study at home, and only come to the academy to ask for advice when they have questions that cannot be solved.

　　As it was formerly a zither academy, the layout of Lanting Academy is also very stylish, with high gates, red walls, bluestone paving, carved railings, jade, and green trees. In particular, the small garden in the backyard of Lanting Academy is even more ingenious.

　　There is a large lake in the center of the small garden. The small island in the middle of the lake is only a dozen meters in radius. An octagonal pavilion on the island is surrounded by fragrant lotus in the lake, like an island in fairyland.

　　There are many small stone platforms on the lake, each of which is three or four meters in radius. They are distributed throughout the lake, surrounding the small island in the center of the lake like stars surrounding the moon.

　　This small garden is where the Lanting Festival is held. The small island in the middle of the lake is where the queen of the current dynasty stays, and the small stone platforms in the lake are the seats for the noble ladies of the dynasty to attend the meeting.

　　At this moment, a layer of soft pearl curtain has been hung on the octagonal pavilion on the small island in the middle of the lake. Looking inside from the outside, it seems hazy, both real and unreal.

　　This pavilion is where the queen of the current dynasty stays. The queen's face cannot be shown to others at will, so this is the reason why such an arrangement is made here. This also further reflects the grandeur of the royal family of the Tianyuan Dynasty, while also retaining a bit of mystery.

　　Everything around was quiet. Although there were no conspicuous guards, it seemed extremely quiet, as if there was an invisible majesty pressing here that prevented anyone from getting close.

　　If people outside had not entered the bead curtain, they would not have known that there were actually people sitting in the pavilion at this moment.

　　In the center of the pavilion, a woman who looked to be only in her early thirties was sitting on a couch in the center. She was wearing a golden Nine Phoenix Rising Sun court dress, and her cloud-like long hair was tied into a bun like a clear sky with flowing clouds, just like the auspicious clouds guarding the sun. She was covered in jewels, but there was no trace of excessive luxury. Her hands were folded on her knees, and nearly a foot long ivory fairy cloud finger gloves were worn on her ring finger and little finger, adding a touch of splendor and luxury.

　　The woman's eyes were slightly closed all the time. Although she didn't open her eyes, she seemed to be able to control everything around her.

　　This woman was undoubtedly the current Empress Xiao. Sitting on the couch beside Empress Xiao was a young man wearing a golden robe with three dragons on it. The young man was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing, but there was a hint of sinisterness between his eyebrows, which made people afraid to approach him.

　　This person is none other than the current Crown Prince Li Xian. As the only son of the current Queen Xiao, Li Xian can naturally sit here.

　　"My son, have you gained any insights from your recent practice?" Suddenly, as if in a state of meditation, Empress Xiao slightly opened her eyes, exhaled lightly, and spoke slowly. As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Xiao had already picked up the teacup on the small table beside her and took a sip.

　　Although each of Xiao's movements was extremely slow, it gave people a sense of being in harmony with nature and looked extremely comfortable.

　　After hearing Xiao's question, Li Xian nodded slightly and spoke slowly, "Mother, I have been feeling a little troubled recently, and my cultivation has not made much progress."

　　Nodding, as if he had known all this for a long time, Xiao put down the teacup and said, "Is it still because of what happened in the Shenwei training camp?"

　　Upon hearing the words "Shenwei Training Camp", Li Xian's eyes immediately showed a hint of cruelty, "That's right, Li Fengyun did not do his job well, and made me lose face in Shenwei Training Camp. Until now, that lunatic is still at large. However, this time, it's not just me who got humiliated. The eight people that Li Cheng worked so hard to send to Shenwei Training Camp were wiped out by that lunatic in one fell swoop. This time, Li Cheng lost more face than I did."

　　After hearing what Li Xian said, Xiao shook her head silently. Her eyes, which were originally narrowed slightly, opened a little more. She raised her chin slightly and sighed softly, "My son, I once told you that the Third Prince is not a threat to you. The one you should really pay attention to is Li Yan. You only saw that the Third Prince lost face in the Shenwei Training Camp incident, but you didn't see that Li Yan suffered no loss in this incident, and he might even bring the power of the three families that could change the fate of the dynasty under his banner."

　　As soon as Xiao's words fell, Li Xian's face immediately showed a surprised expression. In fact, the princes of the Tianyuan Dynasty have been fighting for the throne for many years. The major powers in the Tianyuan Dynasty have almost all selected the princes they follow. Up to now, there are few princes in power who are neutral, and these neutral rulers are undoubtedly the most powerful figures in the Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　Because only such a person can be unaffected by the fight for the throne, and even if he does not join after being invited, he will not be retaliated. As for the ordinary nobles, if they receive the invitation of the three princes and do not join, I am afraid that their families will be destroyed after a while.

　　According to Xiao, if three of these powerful princes who are currently neutral turned to the Eighth Prince, the balance of power in the fight for the throne would most likely tilt directly, which is something Li Xian does not want to see at all.

　　"Your son is stupid, please give me some advice, mother." Li Xian looked serious. Although he did not stand up, he still bowed slightly to Xiao again and asked for advice.

　　Seeing that Li Xian had focused his attention and really started to take this matter seriously, Xiao also nodded silently.

　　"My son, do you know what position Zhou Yun holds in the Lin family?" After being absent-minded for a moment, Xiao spoke slowly.

　　"What status?" With a puzzled expression on his face, Li Xian said, "Isn't it because of his ability and potential that he was accepted into the Lin family by Lin Juntian and works for the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion?"

　　Silently shaking his head, Xiao said calmly, "If he was just a recruited warrior, when he came to Beijing and had a conflict with Tang Li, why would Lin Juntian use 30,000 dan of military rations to reach a settlement with Tang Li? Don't you understand Lin Juntian's style of doing things?"

　　Upon hearing what Xiao said, Li Xian was stunned. Lin Juntian had always had an alias among the nobles in Shangjing City, called the Iron Rooster, known for not giving a penny. Especially after he became the inspector of the Ministry of Revenue and was responsible for the allocation of money and grain, this style was carried forward. Usually, all the nobles came to him and wanted to ask for more money and grain for their army, but almost no one succeeded. Lin Juntian was rigid in his work, and things like this rarely happened.

　　"Mother, what is the identity of Zhou Yun?" Having come to his senses, Li Xian immediately asked.

　　"I have checked some of the correspondence in the sound transmission tower. Zhou Yun and the noble daughter of the Duke of Pingnan, Lin Junyao, have been secretly communicating for several years. Five years ago, when Lin Junyao was returning to Beijing from the South China Sea, she was ambushed on the way, but was rescued by Zhou Yun. In my opinion, Zhou Yun and the noble daughter of the Lin family have already secretly decided to spend their lives together. And Lin Juntian should have acquiesced to this. In addition, Zhou Yun was very close to Princess Yuling in the Shenwei training camp, and it seems that Yuling has decided to follow Zhou Yun. This matter is quite interesting." Her face was still calm, and Xiao's little finger was gently raised and lowered, and she spoke softly.

　　After these words were spoken, Li Xian's expression completely changed. Originally, he thought Zhou Yun was just an insignificant person in the Lin family. Even if he was killed, it would not have any impact on the Lin family, nor would it affect the relationship between them.

　　But now it seems that this is obviously not the case. If Zhou Yun is really the future husband chosen by the noble lady of Pingnan, then this identity will play a decisive role in the Lin family. In addition, the Fang family, which has always been in the same voice with the Lin family, controls the northern army, and will definitely be ranked as a duke in the future, is already a huge force.

　　If Prince Jin is also brought in, once these three forces join the Eighth Prince's camp, his situation will immediately become extremely passive!

　　He had never expected that Zhou Yun could have such a big role. After Li Xian figured it out, he immediately asked Xiao for advice, "Mother, Zhou Yun is currently in the Shenwei training camp, and we can't send anyone in to deal with him. Mother, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

　　"Isn't there a grand gathering at Lanting today? The daughter of the Duke of Pingnan will also be here. By that time, won't you have a solution?" With a faint smile on her face, Xiao spoke calmly.

　　Upon hearing this, Li Xian's eyes lit up immediately, "Thank you, mother. I understand."

　　Seeing that Li Xian had figured out how to deal with the matter, Xiao finally sat up gently, "I will help you with this matter. You also need to calm down, improve your cultivation, and enter the realm of flying through the void with your physical body as soon as possible. As long as your cultivation remains ahead, you will always be invincible. I am tired, you can kneel down and rest."

　　After leaving a few words, Xiao, supported by an old eunuch beside her, turned and walked towards the back hall.

　　When Li Xian saw the old eunuch, he was stunned when he was about to kneel down to pay his respects.

　　It was obvious that the old eunuch had been here the entire time, but he didn't even notice it!

　　For a moment, a trace of cold sweat flowed down Li Xian's forehead.

　　"Your son respectfully bids farewell to your mother." Seeing Xiao's back about to disappear, Li Xian hurriedly knelt down and shouted in greeting.

　　Chapter 136: The Lady Leaves the City

　　The eastern district of Shangjing City was an area reserved for the rich and powerful in the dynasty; it was an area rarely visited by common people.

　　Although the authorities did not prevent ordinary people from entering the eastern district of Shangjing City, the people of Shangjing City still had some instinctive fear when faced with the majesty of the red-walled gates and the powerful warriors guarding outside.

　　Over time, fewer and fewer civilians dared to enter the eastern district of Shangjing City.

　　Including this grand day, there were not many common people walking in the East District of Shangjing City. Only flower carriages from the courtyards of various wealthy families were slowly driving towards the East Gate.

　　At this moment, outside the east gate of Shangjing City, all the way to the Lanting Academy more than ten miles away, the official roads on both sides were crowded with common people who wanted to catch a glimpse of the royal lady's beauty.

　　Ding ding ding!

　　Following a clear sound of gongs, the noble ladies of the dynasty who were attending the Lanting Festival finally began to emerge from the east gate of Shangjing City.

　　In an instant, the people gathered at the city gate burst into a huge cheer, and the cheers spread farther and farther, reaching places more than ten miles away.

　　Most of the people on both sides of the official road could not see the situation at the East Gate because of the distance, but when the cheers started, they also followed suit and cheered.

　　As the gong sounded, the first float carrying a royal lady finally appeared on the east side of the city gate of Shangjing.

　　The floats that the noble ladies who participated in the Lanting Festival rode were all of the same type, with a uniform three-horse suspension, a five-sided tripod body, two drivers selected by their own residences, and four horseback guards following behind. This was also to highlight equality. After all, the Lanting Festival was to test the talents and virtues of these noble ladies, not to compete for status.

　　Only the names marked on the front roof of these carriages can distinguish the identities of these royal ladies.

　　The woman sitting on the first float was dressed in red, with her hair tied up in a bun, delicate features, and extremely pretty. As soon as the woman appeared, the people on both sides of the official road immediately responded with great cheers. Hearing the cheers, the woman in red immediately showed a lively smile on her face, and waved her white little hands to the people on both sides.

　　Every year at the Lanting Festival, the first lady to come out usually gets the loudest cheers. Sometimes, in order to compete for the opportunity to come out first, the ladies of the dynasties would secretly compete with each other.

　　"Look, this is the daughter of Prince Shunhe. She is so beautiful, and so smart and cute. She is really great!" After seeing the woman in red, the people below cheered and immediately started talking about it.

　　"It's just okay. She feels a little artificial. As for being lively and cute, Princess Yuling who attended the conference last year was much better than the daughter of Prince Shunhe." Upon hearing what the person next to him said, another person who looked like a local immediately replied.

　　The Princess Yuling he was talking about was actually Li Xiaoxiao, who had always been very close to Zhou Yun in the Shenwei training camp. In fact, if Zhou Yun saw the noble lady of Shunhe County and compared her with Li Xiaoxiao, he would probably come to the same conclusion.

　　Being smart and cute does not mean being artificial, it is a kind of joy brought by nature and maintained during growth. Such a woman, firstly, has a very simple mind, and secondly, is naturally happy and unrestrained. Such a woman must have grown up in a noble and carefree environment without too much pressure, plus a little bit of nature.

　　Li Xiaoxiao just has all these circumstances. Her father, Prince Jin, is the younger brother of the emperor of the time and has an extremely high status. Li Xiaoxiao has also been in a high position since she was a child. Even if she sometimes does things that are unorthodox or even naughty, no one dares to blame her and can only spoil her. In addition, Li Xiaoxiao is kind by nature, which creates the kind of fearless and lovely character that makes people can't help but like her.

　　Besides, Li Xiaoxiao is from a branch of the royal family, and her appearance is naturally beautiful. Her name is not comparable to that of Shunhe, the daughter of a prince.

　　"My dear brother, have you watched many Lanting Festivals?" Upon hearing this, the man who had originally commented on the lovely daughter of Prince Shunhe immediately asked.

　　Seeing the envious look on the face of the person next to him, the native of Shangjing immediately said proudly, "Yes, I am a local of Beijing. I have visited every Lanting Festival. So far, I have watched ten of them. It's just that many floats were closed at the beginning. It was not until the third festival that all the floats were changed to open-top."

　　Listening to the local's words, the man next to him immediately became more respectful and fascinated.

　　Comparison and discussion are human nature, so the man continued to ask, "Brother, you have participated in so many grand events, which ladies are the best?"

　　Upon hearing the question, the proud local of Shangjing also showed a look of contemplation and recollection on his face, and then said, "To say that there are impressive ones, there are indeed many. The third class Qingshan Earl's Daughter, the fourth class Fengyang Princess, the fifth class Zhenxi Duke's Daughter, and even the last class Yuling County Princess, are all extremely outstanding."

　　As these floats drove out of the east gate of Shangjing City one by one, the emotions of the surrounding people became more and more excited, and discussions like this one became more and more frequent.

　　Every year at the Lanting Festival, no matter how the royal family makes the final assessment, the people will always circulate their own ranking of noble ladies, and this ranking will be formed in a few days as long as there is a noble lady who is extremely outstanding. But if there is no one who is particularly outstanding and can surpass the others, then it will be a bit troublesome.

　　Since they came out late, the position occupied by Old Man Mu and the others was not very good, it was already relatively remote. There were crowds of people on both sides of the official road. The three people from the Mu family and Zhang Hao walked along the east gate for nearly ten miles before they found a good position next to the official road.

　　An hour has passed since the first noble lady came out of the east gate. Old Man Mu and others have seen the beautiful faces of many noble ladies of the dynasty.

　　However, at this time they no longer had the excitement they had at the beginning.

　　"Hey, little rat, these royal ladies just look prettier and richer, but there's nothing special about them. When I look at them, they all have stiff expressions or sit there with their heads down, ignoring everyone. This really damages the reputation of royal ladies."

　　After watching for an hour, Old Man Mu gradually became disappointed.

　　After hearing what Old Man Mu said, Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly and said, "Old Man Mu, you don't know this. You know, it takes more than an hour to walk from the east gate to here. If you keep waving and smiling at both sides during such a long time, I'm afraid your face will be stiff and your hands will be sore. Didn't you see the daughter of Shunhe County Prince who passed by first? Her expression was obviously stiff. I guess she smiled too much. I guess if she keeps grinning, her face will be disfigured. After the event, this silly grin may take a year to correct."

　　Phew!

　　Upon hearing Zhang Hao's comment, Old Man Mu, Mu Tie and even little Mu Yue who was in Mu Tie's arms all burst out laughing.

　　"Little rat, you are too vicious. If one of these noble ladies hears what you said, I'm afraid you will be in big trouble." Looking at Zhang Hao helplessly, Old Man Mu shook his head.

　　Zhang Hao didn't care about Old Man Mu's comments. After all, there were many people talking about it and no one would pay attention to him.

　　However, Zhang Hao was a little bored because he had not seen the daughter of the Duke of Pingnan until now. He had seen so many of these noble ladies of the dynasty that he didn't feel anything anymore.

　　It's nothing more than beautiful, exquisite, and rich. Repeated repetition will lead to aesthetic fatigue.

　　"Why hasn't the float from the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion arrived yet?" Zhang Hao said this in a bored tone and wanted to take a step forward to look outside.

　　But at this moment, a burst of restlessness broke out again among the crowd, which had been relatively calm.

　　It was a real agitation, not cheering, nor random discussions, but more like the uncontrollable admiration after seeing some kind of beautiful wonder. From time to time, Zhang Hao could hear one or two gasps and fascinated murmurs among the crowd.

　　Looking forward quickly, Zhang Hao immediately saw a woman wearing a lake green wide-sleeved lotus dress on the slowly approaching float.

　　Unlike other noble ladies of the dynasty, this green woman did not wear too many jewelry, nor did she wear formal makeup or even finger gloves. But even so, she still gave people a feeling of incomparable nobility.

　　That kind of otherworldly beauty is exactly why everyone can't help but gasp.

　　She did not, like many other noble ladies, force herself to smile and wave at the people around her, nor did she simply close her eyes and ignore the people around her.

　　The woman in green was holding a small board in her hand and seemed to be writing something. Although she was doing her own thing, it did not make people feel that she was disrespectful to the people on both sides of the official road.

　　On the contrary, everyone seemed to be possessed. After the initial admiration, they all tacitly agreed not to disturb the woman who was immersed in her own world.

　　"Daddy, this sister is so beautiful." Seeing the green woman, little Mu Yue, who was held in Mu Tie's arms, uttered a voice of great admiration for the first time. This had never happened before among the many noble ladies of the dynasty who had just passed by.

　　The woman on the float had a faint, gentle smile on her face, and she seemed to be thinking about something happy. That faint feeling of happiness infected everyone present.

　　It was not until the carriage was about to pass in front of Zhang Hao and his companions that Zhang Hao suddenly came to his senses, "Father Mu, Brother Tie, that person is the daughter of the Duke of Pingnan!"

　　"Ah! Really!?" Upon hearing Zhang Hao's words, Old Man Mu immediately exclaimed and a smile appeared on his face.

　　Unexpectedly, this noble lady of the Duke of Pingnan turned out to be such an outstanding woman. Even little Mu Yue couldn't help but be attracted by her. "But I don't know if this noble lady of the Duke of Pingnan is the sweetheart of the young master. If such a woman can be with the young master, it would be really great." The woman on the flower car just now was naturally Lin Junyao. Watching Lin Junyao's carriage slowly leaving and listening to the admiring discussions of the people around them, Zhang Hao and others had such a thought in their minds at the same time.

　　Chapter 137: Cracks in the Void

　　After more than an hour, all the noble ladies finally arrived at Lanting Academy from the east gate.

　　At this moment, it was early morning and the capital city was cool in early spring, extremely comfortable and pleasant.

　　After getting off their floats, the ladies attending the event, accompanied by the palace maids, came to the back garden of Lanting Academy. At this moment, an exquisite small bamboo raft had been prepared in the center of the small lake in the back garden.

　　Soon, all the noble ladies of the dynasty will be taken to their own places by this raft.

　　As all the noble ladies of the dynasty stood by the lake in the small garden of Lanting Academy, a colorful and pleasant atmosphere immediately came to their faces. These noble ladies of the dynasty were all extremely outstanding in appearance. In addition, they were attending the grand event, and they were all dressed up, which brought out a different kind of beauty. At first glance, it seemed as if the whole person was in the country of fairies, with colorful flowers and very eye-catching.

　　As the daughter of a duke, Lin Junyao's status is extremely high. Moreover, surrounded by this group of noble ladies in gorgeous attire, Lin Junyao, who is dressed in simple and elegant clothes, has become the central figure of the entire scene.

　　The long-lasting sense of mystery and unique temperament make Lin Junyao the most attractive person.

　　Soon, all the noble ladies were sent to the small stone platforms in the center of the lake in the order they arrived at the academy. Because the exit from the city was relatively late, Lin Junyao waited almost until the last minute before being called. However, while waiting, there was no trace of impatience on Lin Junyao's face. She stood there quietly and calmly.

　　"Miss Lin, please follow me." Finally, the ferrying bamboo raft took the noble lady who was in front of Lin Junyao to her own small stone platform, and then returned again, and it was finally Lin Junyao's turn.

　　"Thank you." Nodding to the middle-aged ferryman, Lin Junyao stepped onto the bamboo raft that was already docked on the shore.

　　Lin Junyao was already standing on the bamboo raft, and the raft immediately started to move slowly. Although the small lake in the garden was full of lotus flowers, there were still quiet little waterways among the flowers, connected to the small stone platforms in each lake.

　　The flowers and plants in the lake are extremely lush and full of vitality, while the small stone platforms around them are scattered one after another, as if in accordance with some kind of yin and yang. Although the distance between them is not too far, there is a hazy feeling when looking at each other.

　　Seeing everything in this small lake, Lin Junyao's eyes revealed a hint of admiration.

　　"Ms. Lin, this small lake is nice, right?" Seeing Lin Junyao's love for this small lake, the middle-aged man who was rowing the boat also asked with a smile.

　　"It is indeed ingenious." Nodding, Lin Junyao spoke calmly and politely.

　　With a smile on his face, the middle-aged man rowing the boat said, "This Lanting Academy has existed for more than two thousand years. Before the current dynasty, this Lanting Academy was originally called Jiutian Qinyuan, which has been the sacred place of music in the Middle Earth for thousands of years. When the previous dynasty was destroyed, all the treasures of Jiutian Qinyuan were taken away by the remnants of the previous dynasty, the Yang family, and the entire Qinyuan was looted. The emperor just changed this place to Lanting Academy to completely wash away the past."

　　While paddling the bamboo raft forward, the middle-aged man smiled and talked to Lin Junyao.

　　In fact, Lin Junyao knew all these things in her heart. For many years, Lin Junyao did not practice martial arts. As a noble lady, she would not be allowed to learn weaving and cooking in order to preserve her female virtues. Lin Junyao basically put all her energy into studying the scriptures and music.

　　It can be said that Qindao is Lin Junyao's favorite thing.

　　Jiutian Qinyuan is a holy place of music that was popular in the Middle-earth two years ago. How could Lin Junyao not know about it?

　　Not only that, Lin Junyao also knew that this Jiutian Qinyuan had produced countless exquisite music scores over the past thousands of years. From the magnificent and majestic "Heming Chaotian Song", a masterpiece in music history that no one has ever played in its entirety since its creation, to the famous pieces "Jiulei" and "Fengge" composed by Qin Wu, the music king a thousand years ago, and even the three great divine songs passed down by ancient sages, "Taiyuan", "Qingjiao" and "Huangqu", all these scores were preserved in Jiutian Qinyuan.

　　Having studied music since childhood, Lin Junyao was extremely yearning for these divine songs. However, divine songs were hard to come by, and one of them had fallen into the hands of the royal family of the previous dynasty. It was naturally impossible for her to obtain them.

　　According to rumors, these three divine songs each have their own magical uses. Taiyuan can control people's minds, Qingjiao can control the power of nature, and Huangqu can drive away all kinds of beasts and cure all kinds of diseases. However, now these divine song scores are no longer available.

　　While chatting, the middle-aged man had already sent Lin Junyao to a stone platform in the small lake.

　　"Ms. Lin, this is your seat, please take a seat." After steadying the bamboo raft, the middle-aged man spoke respectfully to Lin Junyao.

　　Lin Junyao was pulled back to her thoughts by the words of the middle-aged man. She looked up and found that the stone platform she was on was right in front of the central pavilion, which was almost the best position among all the noble ladies attending the meeting. The queen in the pavilion on the small island in the middle of the lake could see the woman in this position almost at first sight and could not help but pay attention to her. Sitting here, it was easiest to get the attention of the queen.

　　Lin Junyao didn't expect that she would be assigned such a good position. She was slightly surprised, but she didn't say much. Instead, she quietly climbed onto the small stone platform.

　　"Thank you." Stepping onto the stone platform, Lin Junyao bowed and thanked the middle-aged boatman.

　　After the boatman rowed the bamboo raft away, Lin Junyao felt a little uneasy in her heart. She always felt that there seemed to be a pair of greedy eyes staring at her in the octagonal pavilion in the middle of the lake.

　　This feeling made Lin Junyao very uncomfortable, but she couldn't be sure whether there was really someone in the pavilion.

　　Because of the bead curtain blocking the view, nothing in the pavilion could be seen. Lin Junyao had no cultivation skills, so naturally she couldn't sense whether there was anyone inside. Moreover, even if she had cultivation skills, I believe no one here would dare to use their cultivation skills to explore the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

　　Feeling this vague attention, although Lin Junyao's face remained expressionless, she had already begun to be alert in her heart.

　　At this time, all the noble ladies had been taken to their own small stone platforms. The stone platforms were built very simply, with a soft couch and a stone table in front, on which were placed some simple snacks and fruits, as well as a bowl of soup with a faint fragrance.

　　"My dear ladies, the Queen will arrive in a quarter of an hour. Please first try the beauty soup carefully prepared by the chef of Kunyuan Palace to relieve your fatigue." After all the ladies had taken their seats, a palace maid in light yellow palace dress walked out from the side of the octagonal pavilion and spoke softly to the people in front of her.

　　After hearing what the palace maid said, the noble ladies of the dynasty who were already sitting on the stone platform began to taste the soup in the small cups in front of them with small soup spoons while expressing their gratitude.

　　Along the way, these noble ladies either waved and laughed all the way, or tried to remain calm and ignored others. Although they appeared to be silent on the surface, the pressure in their hearts was enormous.

　　After such a long time of walking and standing, many people were already very thirsty. Although everyone drank the soup in a very elegant manner, most of the ladies drank almost all of the soup.

　　However, because Lin Junyao had something on her mind, she just tasted it lightly and did not use it again.

　　Watching Lin Junyao's movements through the bead curtain, Crown Prince Li Xian, who had been staying here, also revealed a smile on his face and nodded silently.

　　In the capital city, the Lanting Festival was about to begin, and in the No. 1 examination room of the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao had been practicing for two hours in a row. When it was time for a break, Li Xiaoxiao sat with Zhou Yun again.

　　While Zhou Yun was meditating silently to recover, he was also chatting casually with Li Xiaoxiao.

　　With a look of reminiscence on her face, Li Xiaoxiao said, "Zhou Yun, today is the annual Lanting Festival. I wonder who can get first place." As they chatted, Li Xiaoxiao unknowingly turned the conversation to the Lanting Festival.

　　Hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Zhou Yun immediately remembered that Lin Junyao was also going to attend the Lanting Festival. It was said that all the noble women had to dress up for such a grand event. Although he was very close to Lin Junyao, Zhou Yun had never seen Lin Junyao in her formal attire.

　　Usually Lin Junyao is just clean and fresh, and doesn't wear makeup every day. Although Lin Junyao is already very beautiful, Zhou Yun still hopes to see another side of Lin Junyao. But obviously it is impossible this time. But there will definitely be a chance in the future. If they can get married, Junyao will definitely dress up for the wedding, right?

　　Li Xiaoxiao's words reminded Zhou Yun of Lin Junyao. Without replying, Zhou Yun couldn't help but smile as he thought of Lin Junyao.

　　Originally, Zhou Yun always answered every question when chatting with her, but when the Lanting Festival was mentioned, Zhou Yun was silent, and an extremely fascinated look appeared on his face. Seeing Zhou Yun's expression, Li Xiaoxiao immediately became dissatisfied.

　　"Hey, Zhou Yun, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?" Li Xiaoxiao patted Zhou Yun lightly and spoke in an angry tone.

　　Only then did Zhou Yun realize that he was so busy thinking about Lin Junyao that he had neglected Li Xiaoxiao.

　　Shaking his head helplessly, Zhou Yun was just about to apologize to Li Xiaoxiao when suddenly, the huge mountain in Examination Room No. 1 began to shake wildly.

　　Woo...Ah...Moo...

　　All of a sudden, all kinds of ferocious beasts in the entire mountain began to roar. It was an extremely frantic roar, filled with panic and fear. All of a sudden, the entire Examination Room No. 1 became restless.

　　"Zhou Yun! What happened?" Li Xiaoxiao was completely stunned by the changes in front of her, and Zhou Yun also felt that things were not that simple.

　　The true energy in his body was already running at full capacity, and Zhou Yun silently approached Li Xiaoxiao to prevent any other accidents from happening.

　　"Be careful!" Suddenly, a sound similar to a tiger's roar was heard. Above the position where Zhou Yun and others were originally located, a ferocious beast similar to a tiger rushed down like lightning, and actually pounced directly on Li Xiaoxiao.

　　ah!

　　Seeing the tiger, Li Xiaoxiao screamed in fright. At the critical moment, Zhou Yun picked up Li Xiaoxiao and took her away from the danger.

　　But this was not the end yet. All the ferocious beasts in Examination Room No. 1 seemed to be stimulated by something, and they all rushed down towards the giant mountain under Examination Room No. 1.

　　At this moment, on the top of the giant mountain on the top floor of the No. 1 examination room in the distance, a black and gray crack suddenly appeared from the void. When Zhou Yun saw this crack, he immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart.

　　Chapter 138 Black Bird

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun was hiding on a towering tree, concealing his body among the dense branches and leaves. Zhou Yun half-squatted, staring intently at the crack that appeared in the void on the top of the giant mountain in the distance.

　　That kind of strange sight was almost something Zhou Yun had never heard of before. Just imagine that the space in front of you suddenly cracked, revealing a pitch-black color in the middle, exuding a strong aura of power. What would that feel like?

　　Staring closely at the terrifying black void crack, Zhou Yun wrapped his left hand around Li Xiaoxiao's waist and covered her mouth tightly with his right hand to prevent her from screaming.

　　"Woo... Woo..." After the initial panic, Li Xiaoxiao's emotions stabilized a little. Patting Zhou Yun's shoulder gently, Li Xiaoxiao whimpered twice to express her dissatisfaction.

　　Feeling that Li Xiaoxiao's mood had returned to normal, Zhou Yun immediately released the hand that was covering her mouth, while still holding her with the other hand to prevent her from falling off the tree.

　　Originally, Li Xiaoxiao was held in Zhou Yun's arms with her face facing up. Now that Zhou Yun let her go, Li Xiaoxiao naturally turned her body around and looked in the same direction as Zhou Yun.

　　Suddenly, the black crack that appeared in the void in the distance immediately came into Li Xiaoxiao's sight. At this moment, everything in the crack seemed to become more and more unsettled, as if something horrible was hidden in it, and was getting closer and closer.

　　Although her cultivation was not as high as Zhou Yun's, Li Xiaoxiao was also a muscle-training-level warrior after all. Moreover, the sense of danger in the black crack in the void was too obvious. Even without a very high cultivation level, she could still sense it by instinct.

　　"Zhou Yun, let's go quickly." Seeing a restless and strange roar coming from the void crack in the distance, Li Xiaoxiao's body could not help but start shaking, and her little hands began to shake Zhou Yun's arms.

　　In such an environment, it was absolutely impossible for her to leave alone. Even if she could do it, she didn't have the courage to do so. She couldn't leave Zhou Yun behind and go alone. So now Li Xiaoxiao could only rely on Zhou Yun.

　　"It's not the time yet." There was a hint of anxiety on his face, but Zhou Yun did not listen to Li Xiaoxiao and leave. Instead, he pointed under the tree.

　　Following Zhou Yun's hand and looking down, Li Xiaoxiao immediately felt a black screen in front of her eyes and a dizzy head.

　　At this moment, in the dense forest below, especially near the path where he and Zhou Yun had just practiced, countless ferocious beasts were rushing down from the direction of the top of the mountain, as if they were also very afraid of the void crack at the top of the mountain.

　　Most of these ferocious beasts were actually at the Yi Jin Xi Sui level, and were obviously the ferocious beasts on the top of the mountain. Although they had not noticed Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao hiding in a tree more than 20 meters high due to fear, as long as they dared to go down, they would probably be smashed into meat paste in an instant.

　　As soon as she saw the scene below, Li Xiaoxiao's scalp immediately went numb, and her voice became tearful, "Zhou Yun, I'm scared..." As a princess, Li Xiaoxiao had never encountered such a dangerous situation before. This time, Li Xiaoxiao felt that she was really in big trouble. In an instant, the thought of fear of death also emerged in Li Xiaoxiao's mind, and her eyes could not help but redden.

　　"Don't be afraid, I will do my best to protect you." Zhou Yun said calmly, patting Li Xiaoxiao's hand gently.

　　Although he knew how dangerous the situation was, Zhou Yun's expression was surprisingly calm after the tension. Seeing Zhou Yun's even breathing rhythm and bright eyes, Li Xiaoxiao's panic mood actually improved a little.

　　"Zhou Yun, aren't you afraid?" Seeing that Zhou Yun's expression didn't change much, but just looked a little more solemn, Li Xiaoxiao immediately asked in surprise.

　　Still paying close attention to everything around him, looking for a chance to escape, Zhou Yun said calmly after hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, "What's the use of being afraid? I don't want to die, so I can only choose not to be afraid. Once I'm afraid, my mind will be in chaos."

　　In fact, it is impossible to say that there is no worry in his heart. Zhou Yun cherishes his life very much, and this cherishment for life is stronger than anyone else.

　　Because he is not alone, and now he is also responsible for the life happiness of Jun Yao and his sister Zhou Xue. Zhou Yun does not want anything to happen, and he dare not let anything happen.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao nodded as if she understood, and her face finally calmed down a little. At least she stopped crying.

　　Woo…! Quack…!

　　At this time, the strange cry from the black crack in the void was getting closer and closer, and Zhou Yun's eyes almost turned blood red. Finally, the beasts below had become much sparse, and Zhou Yun finally waited for his own chance.

　　"Xiaoxiao, hold on to my hand, open your eyes and look at the road, don't panic, we need to run towards the southeast together." Holding Li Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, Zhou Yun whispered to the girl beside him.

　　The number of ferocious beasts below was only a little less, but there were still many of them. In this situation, Zhou Yun couldn't carry Li Xiaoxiao away by himself, and they had to work together. Therefore, it was extremely important for Li Xiaoxiao to stay calm and give full play to her own cultivation.

　　"Why not Zhengnan?" After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately asked. Because she was influenced by Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao's mood had improved a lot at this time. At least normal communication was no problem.

　　Zhou Yun naturally knew what Li Xiaoxiao meant. The exit of Examination Room No. 1 of the Shenwei Training Camp was due south. Now, Li Xiaoxiao was thinking that if they could go directly back to the living area, it would definitely provide an extra layer of security.

　　"We can't get through." Zhou Yun responded calmly without much explanation, but as soon as Li Xiaoxiao heard this, she already understood it completely.

　　The ferocious beasts below were heading due south, and I'm afraid they have already occupied the exit of Examination Room No. 1. Li Xiaoxiao has just seen that most of the ferocious beasts rushing and running below are at the Yijing Xisui level, and they are all ferocious beasts on the top of the mountain. If you are mixed in with these high-level ferocious beasts and reach the exit of Examination Room No. 1, there is no possibility of survival.

　　"Okay, I'll listen to you." Having figured it out, Li Xiaoxiao immediately nodded and spoke solemnly.

　　At this time, her mood was calm. This calmness was brought to her by Zhou Yun. Moreover, Li Xiaoxiao did not want to become a burden to Zhou Yun at this time.

　　Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao had recovered, Zhou Yun also showed a confident smile on his face.

　　"Let's go!" Zhou Yun suddenly pulled Li Xiaoxiao's hand and jumped out with Li Xiaoxiao.

　　The direction the two were walking was somewhat different from the ferocious beasts below. The ferocious beasts were heading south, while Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao were heading southeast. If they walked in this way, after a while, Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao would be completely separated from these ferocious beasts.

　　Zhou Yun released his spiritual sense to the maximum. In order to avoid conflicts with the ferocious beasts on the route, he usually went straight south. When he found an opportunity to turn around, he would quickly head east. When the road to the east was not smooth, Zhou Yun would change route to the south again.

　　Along the way, Li Xiaoxiao held Zhou Yun's hand tightly, and relied on the direction of Zhou Yun's neck to choose the route forward.

　　If Zhou Yun is looking towards the south, Li Xiaoxiao will exert force to jump towards the south. If Zhou Yun's head turns to the east, Li Xiaoxiao will immediately turn to the east and exert force when he lands next time.

　　As they jumped and hurried along the way, crazy and ferocious beasts kept passing by them, but they did not really conflict with them on the route.

　　When these terrifying beasts saw Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao right beside them, they couldn't help but roar in anger, but none of them dared to stop and cause trouble for Zhou Yun, because they were more afraid of the space crack that opened in the void behind them.

　　Finally, after a violent jump, Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao finally escaped from the terrifying beast.

　　"Zhou Yun, that's great, we're finally out!" After jumping out of the beast's attack, the two were now some distance away from the black crack in the void. Seeing that the situation had improved a lot, Li Xiaoxiao immediately celebrated happily.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun's face was still very heavy. What he thought was far from as simple as Li Xiaoxiao's.

　　The black crack that appeared in the void in the distance had created such tremendous pressure that even Zhou Yun felt that he could hardly bear it.

　　Quack! Quack! Quack!

　　Suddenly, with a strange and loud whistling sound, the thing in the crack of the void finally rushed out. Moreover, this time, there were definitely more than one thing rushing out, but hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands!

　　At the opening of the crack, rows of strange black birds screamed and flew out continuously, circling in the sky, and actually connected into thick black dragons, almost covering the sky.

　　Seeing this scene, Li Xiaoxiao was almost scared silly. She could feel the ugliness and evil of the black strange bird just from a distance. The swift movements and the number that made her scalp numb made Li Xiaoxiao feel cold all over.

　　"Hide!" Zhou Yun's reaction was extremely quick. As soon as the strange bird appeared, Zhou Yun immediately knew that he was not able to defeat any one of them, let alone so many of them.

　　Even before the fight, Zhou Yun had already made this judgment, which came from his instinctive intuition as a warrior. Moreover, just looking at the flying speed and altitude of the strange bird, this judgment was not difficult to verify.

　　"Where can we hide?" Although there were dense forests all around, many strange birds had already begun to swoop down, directly treating the beasts in the No. 1 examination room as a feast. Even many students in the Shenwei training camp were buried in the mouths of the strange birds. Although the distance was far, Li Xiaoxiao could still hear the screams of some students.

　　At this moment, the area near the south exit of Examination Room No. 1 attracted the attention of most of the strange birds because of the large number of ferocious beasts gathered there.

　　Seeing the black clouds of strange birds rushing towards the exit of Examination Room No. 1, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but admire Zhou Yun. If she had just followed her instructions and headed south, she would have been killed by the beasts or devoured by the strange birds.

　　There are dense forests all around, and it now seems that these dense forests have no effect on the strange bird at all.

　　Zhou Yun was also extremely anxious at this time, but suddenly, a sound of water came into Zhou Yun's ears.

　　Hearing the sound of water, Zhou Yun's eyes immediately lit up!

　　"Here!" Pulling Li Xiaoxiao up, Zhou Yun ran quickly.

　　After a few breaths, a waterfall appeared in Zhou Yun's sight.

　　At this time, a terrifying threat had already loomed over his head, and Zhou Yun knew that he was also being stared at by such a strange bird.

　　"Zhou Yun, be careful!" Just at this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell in front of him, and then Li Xiaoxiao's panicked cry was heard immediately.

　　Chapter 139: The Void Ocean

　　Zhou Yun only felt a fierce attack coming from the air, and he grabbed Li Xiaoxiao's shoulders and moved vigorously.

　　puff!

　　As soon as they left the place where they were standing, the ground where Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao were standing collapsed immediately, and a pit more than one meter deep appeared on the ground, and the surrounding soil also turned black.

　　Quack quack quack!!

　　Then, a black shadow enveloped them, and the terrifying bird that had just attacked Zhou Yun had landed and stood in front of Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao, screaming at the two people in front of them.

　　As soon as he saw this strange bird, even Zhou Yun, who was calm and composed, felt his scalp tingling.

　　What kind of creature is this? It is more than four meters tall, with a pair of skinny long legs, and its claws have three toes, two pointing forward and one pointing backward, tightly clasped on the ground.

　　The body is slender, the neck is slender, and this streamlined appearance shows that it is a very fast creature. This big bird has an extremely strange head, and the beak in front of the head is extremely long, which can be seen at a glance that it is very strong. There are two black holes as big as bowls above the beak. It has no nose, but it relies on the two black holes to breathe. Between breathing, streams of black air constantly emerge from the two black holes.

　　Above the black hole, three blood-red eyes are distributed in the shape of three stars on the top of the head, looking extremely evil and chilling.

　　The wings of this strange bird have been folded, but one can tell without looking that when the wings are spread, their area is extremely large after all. The posture of the strange bird in the sky just now has already allowed Zhou Yun to make his own judgment.

　　At this moment, the entire Examination Room No. 1 had become like hell on earth. These strange birds encountered almost no resistance. Even those ferocious beasts that had reached the level of Yi Jin Xi Sui could only be slaughtered in front of these strange birds.

　　The worst thing was that at this moment, the strange bird was standing between Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao and the waterfall pool where they were originally planning to escape. It was still unknown how they would get through.

　　"Zhou Yun, what should we do? Are we going to die?" At this time, Li Xiaoxiao's voice was already filled with tears. Leaning against Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao's body was shaking.

　　This was a scene she had never experienced in her life. Originally, Li Xiaoxiao thought that with her identity, she would definitely live an easy and happy life, including this time she came to the Shenwei training camp more for fun, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly.

　　Leaning against Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao finished her words and tears immediately fell like beads from a broken string.

　　Although the strange bird did not attack but looked at them with strange eyes, Li Xiaoxiao knew that it was probably impossible for the two of them to avoid the strange bird. The most terrible thing was that time was running out. If they did not think of a solution, once the ferocious beasts in Examination Room No. 1 were eaten up, countless strange birds like this would want to fight for their corpses.

　　Looking at the strange bird in front of him, Zhou Yun's mind was clear at this moment. This was not the first time he had experienced a life-and-death moment. Although the situation this time was worse than any previous time, Zhou Yun did not lose confidence.

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun saw the strange bird's unnatural movements in the distance.

　　Zhou Yun was shocked to discover that there was an obvious gap on the left leg of the strange bird. It was a wound caused by a bite. At this moment, streams of black liquid with an unspeakable stench were constantly pouring out. The foul smell around was probably caused by the liquid.

　　Zhou Yun's eyes lit up and he suddenly thought of a solution.

　　"Xiaoxiao, I'll lead it away. After I get out, you immediately run straight forward with your eyes closed. Then hold your breath and jump into the pool in front. Don't look back and don't come up easily. Do you understand?" Staring at the strange bird, Zhou Yun slightly tilted his head and spoke calmly to Li Xiaoxiao beside him.

　　She was so frightened that no matter what Zhou Yun said, Li Xiaoxiao could only nod unconsciously.

　　At this time, the strange bird seemed to have seen enough of Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao. It raised its long neck backwards and made an attacking gesture!

　　"run!!"

　　Seeing that the strange bird was about to make a move, Zhou Yun immediately shouted with all his strength. At the same time, he flew up directly, surrounded by lightning, and suddenly rose to a height of more than ten meters.

　　Hearing Zhou Yun's roar, although Li Xiaoxiao knew that the strange bird was right in front of her, she still ran forward unconsciously.

　　Quack!!!

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao running towards it, the strange bird immediately let out an excited cry, wanting to catch Li Xiaoxiao in its mouth.

　　"Evil beast, look here!" Seeing the movement of the strange bird, Zhou Yun immediately mobilized the lightning power in his body with all his strength. Electric light surrounded his hands, and the most powerful force burst out.

　　He punched out with both fists suddenly, and suddenly, two lightning bolts as thick as bowls came out from Zhou Yun's fists. Then the two lightning bolts merged into one, becoming even thicker, and hit the black monster bird in an instant.

　　Prepared to be hit by the power of thunder and lightning, the strange bird was immediately covered in thunder.

　　Quack! Quack!

　　The strange bird seemed to be in great pain from the electric shock and immediately began to scream.

　　At this time, Li Xiaoxiao had already rushed past the strange bird with all her strength. The pool of water was right in front of her. Li Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and jumped down with great force. In an instant, she disappeared to the bottom of the pool without a trace.

　　Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao had entered the pool, Zhou Yun's eyes immediately lit up. He turned his right hand suddenly, and a huge golden python corpse appeared out of thin air.

　　At this moment, the strange bird that was struck by lightning has recovered. Obviously, Zhou Yun's lightning could not cause too much damage to it, but only paralyzed its body slightly.

　　After being tricked by Zhou Yun, the strange bird lost its prey and immediately became angry. Its three eyes became even blood red. The strange bird raised its head and flew up like lightning, biting Zhou Yun.

　　This was also what Zhou Yun had anticipated, so he took out the corpse of the golden giant python from the space ring at this time.

　　Reaching out to grab the giant python's tail, Zhou Yun pushed hard with one hand, and the giant python's head was immediately knocked away by Zhou Yun and crashed into the strange bird.

　　The strange bird was startled when it saw a giant python attacking it. It instinctively bit the python's head and started pulling it hard.

　　Zhou Yun had been waiting for this opportunity. Feeling the pulling force from the giant python's tail, he immediately shook off the tail and shot directly towards the pool from a high altitude.

　　Quack!!

　　Seeing that the prey it had been staring at had escaped so cunningly, the strange bird immediately let out an angry cry, spit out the python's head, and opened its mouth! Suddenly, a black aura attacked Zhou Yun again.

　　Zhou Yun had already been prepared. He turned in the air and suddenly a steel knife appeared in his hand. He slashed with all his might. A gray blade energy was stimulated and hit the black aura directly.

　　But the next moment, a scene appeared that Zhou Yun could not believe no matter what. The sword energy he released was actually swallowed up by the black aura. After swallowing up Zhou Yun's sword energy, the black aura did not stop for a moment and violently hit Zhou Yun's body.

　　puff!

　　Although the sound of the collision was very slight, as soon as the black gas entered his body, Zhou Yun immediately felt his body falling into extreme pain, and his vitality began to rapidly dissipate.

　　"Am I going to die?" Four words flashed through Zhou Yun's mind, and his body fell violently and slammed into the pool of water.

　　A bone-chilling coldness came over him, and Zhou Yun felt his heart getting equally cold in an instant.

　　Zhou Yun has been practicing carefully, wanting to improve himself slowly so that he can take good care of Jun Yao and Zhou Xue in the future, but he didn't expect to suddenly encounter such a disaster in this Shenwei training camp.

　　In Zhou Yun's mind, Lin Junyao's voice, appearance and smile appeared in front of him. When he saw Lin Junyao, a gentle smile appeared on Zhou Yun's face.

　　"Jun Yao, I'm sorry." Zhou Yun spoke silently as his body fell and his consciousness gradually faded away.

　　The next moment, he felt a pair of hands holding his waist and dragging him down with all his might. Zhou Yun's consciousness relaxed and he finally lost consciousness.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun disappear in the pool, the strange bird screamed angrily, flapped its wings a few times, and wanted to jump down.

　　Just at this moment, a series of rolling thunderclouds suddenly appeared in the sky of Examination Room No. 1. Feeling the power contained in the thunderclouds, all the black strange birds panicked at once, dropped the prey in their mouths, soared into the sky, and rushed towards the black space crack.

　　"All of you stay." At this time, a majestic voice like a saint's instruction suddenly sounded from the thundercloud. Suddenly, violent thunders struck from the dark clouds. Suddenly, one black strange bird after another was hit and all of them were shattered into dust and disappeared.

　　"Li Jing, stop." At this moment, another majestic voice was heard from the dark space crack in the distance. The world that was originally shrouded by thunderclouds suddenly became much clearer. The thunder in the sky no longer struck down, and the black strange birds that finally relaxed began to chirp and quickly returned to the void.

　　In a short while, the strange black bird that had been wreaking havoc in examination room No. 1 disappeared completely.

　　All the strange birds had already left. In the dark space, a majestic voice sounded again, "Li Jing, this is to avenge you for destroying one of my void nests. I hope you will remember it in your heart and don't easily violate my borders in the future."

　　"The way of heaven changes, and divine weapons are replaced. They will belong to people with virtue. This empty ocean has been ownerless for a long time. My lord wishes to unify the ocean, which is in accordance with the way of heaven. How can he invade?" With a cold snort, the voice above the thundercloud came down again.

　　As soon as the voice above the thundercloud came out, the person in the black crack in the void immediately laughed strangely, "Hehehe, you Tianyuan humans are so poor that you commit robbery and occupation, and you still claim to be the way of heaven. It's really ridiculous. If you and Li Zhi really have that ability, you can come to the Void Demon Abyss. If you can come and go, I will obey your control."

　　The voice from the dark void crack fell, and the voice above the thundercloud was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "I will go to your Void Demon Abyss sooner or later, so just wait."

　　"Hehehe, then I will wait for you. But, please don't make me wait for a thousand years." After saying this, the black crack that was originally opened in the void slowly closed, as if it had never appeared.

　　The void crack disappeared, and the thunderclouds in the sky gradually dissipated, leaving only a distant voice, "Yan Yin, clean up this examination room and rescue the candidates who are still alive."

　　As the sound faded away, the thunderclouds in the sky also disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.

　　Chapter 140: Confusion

　　It turned out that Yan Yin, who was in charge of this assessment, had brought the Red Flame Army here at some point. Listening to the majestic voice coming from above and looking at the mess in front of him, a look of horror flashed in Yan Yin's eyes while he was riding on the back of the strange beast.

　　"Yan Yin understands." After bowing respectfully to the sky, Yan Yin spoke slowly.

　　"Alright, search all the candidates immediately. If you find anyone alive, bring them out for medical treatment." Yan Yin gave an order to the Red Flame Army soldiers standing behind him. He looked at the scene in front of him and shook his head silently, because he knew that there were probably very few candidates alive in this examination room at this moment.

　　With this incident, the number of candidates who died in the Shenwei Training Camp is probably extremely huge. Yan Yin had already seen it when he came. Eighteen candidates had died since the opening of the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　There are only 46 candidates left out of the original 64. In today's battle, I'm afraid most of the candidates in Examination Room No. 1 will die. This will probably cause another wave of unrest in the capital.

　　Thinking of this, Yan Yin frowned, sighed slightly, and patted the monster under him with his right hand.

　　After receiving Yan Yin's order, the monster roared immediately. All of a sudden, all the beasts that were still staying at the exit seemed to be frightened and began to run madly towards the area where they were supposed to stay. After entering their respective areas according to their cultivation level, these beasts all hid themselves and did not show their heads again.

　　After doing all this, Yan Yin quietly looked at the huge mountain in Examination Room No. 1, feeling worried.

　　When this emergency occurred, there were 25 candidates undergoing training in Examination Room No. 1, including the third princess of the dynasty Li Wanqiu, Prince Yingwu Li Fengyun, and Princess Yuling Li Xiaoxiao, the three people with the most noble status.

　　If something really happened to these three people, I'm afraid he can't escape blame.

　　Time passed little by little, and within half an hour, the red-clad soldiers who had been dispersed came back one by one. Each of the returning red-clad soldiers had something in his hand. These things were either tokens of some candidates, torn clothes, or even some broken limbs.

　　Looking at these things, Yan Yin knew that when the dangerous situation occurred this time, the students who stayed in Examination Room No. 1 would probably be in great danger.

　　Just imagine, even the beasts at the Yijinxisui realm couldn't resist the three-eyed demon eagle, so how could these students escape unscathed? Just as Yan Yin was worried, two figures came from different directions in the distance. Upon closer inspection, Yan Yin discovered that the two people were Li Wanqiu and Li Fengyun.

　　Li Wanqiu looked pale at the moment, but he had no injuries on his body, he just looked very weak. Li Fengyun's condition was not so good, he was covered in blood, his steps were weak, and he was about to collapse.

　　Seeing the two people, several Red Flame Army soldiers behind Yan Yin immediately ran up and tried to support Li Wanqiu and Li Fengyun.

　　Waving her hands silently, Li Wanqiu refused the help from the soldiers. Although she was very weak at the moment, she was still able to move freely. But it was different for Li Fengyun. Although he was still standing, as soon as the soldiers beside him helped him, Li Fengyun's feet immediately weakened and he almost fell.

　　"Third Princess, Prince, I'm so glad to see that you are all right. Please go back to the small building and rest." Yan Yin spoke quickly with a hint of joy in his eyes. Two of the three most important people have already returned. Even if the last one can't come back, there is really nothing that can be done. Moreover, according to Li Xiaoxiao's cultivation level, it is unlikely that she will come back.

　　Nodding silently, Li Fengyun slowly left with the help of the soldier, while Li Wanqiu stood there without moving. Only after Li Fengyun left did Li Wanqiu ask, "General Yan Yin, have you seen Princess Yuling and Zhou Yun?"

　　Although they were no longer together before, Li Wanqiu knew that Li Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yun were also practicing here. Li Wanqiu had been worried about their safety since the beginning.

　　Upon hearing Li Wanqiu's question, Yan Yin's expression, which had just relaxed a little, immediately changed again, "No, there is no news about Princess Yuling and Zhou Yun yet. I have sent people to look for them. No matter what the result is, we should be able to find clues."

　　Yan Yin's words were somewhat low. He was extremely confident in his Red Flame Army soldiers. The soldiers had been out for so long, if anyone survived, they should have been found by now. Now, the soldiers who came back had basically confirmed the death of most of the candidates, but there was still no news about Princess Yuling and Zhou Yun.

　　Hearing Yan Yin's words, Li Wanqiu's expression immediately changed, "Increase your efforts to search, I believe that the two of them will be fine."

　　After leaving a few words, Li Wanqiu immediately turned around and began to search the huge mountain himself.

　　At this time, there was a completely different scene in the deep pool where Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao jumped into.

　　After Li Xiaoxiao jumped into the deep pool, she found that there was a small hole about thirteen or fourteen meters deep in the pool, and there was no water in the hole. The next moment, Li Xiaoxiao saw Zhou Yun falling through the light.

　　Although she was afraid, Li Xiaoxiao jumped out of the small hole without hesitation and returned here holding Zhou Yun.

　　The small cave was wet and pitch black. Li Xiaoxiao touched Zhou Yun's cold body and couldn't help but burst into tears.

　　"Zhou Yun, what's wrong with you? Wake up quickly."

　　"Didn't you say you would always protect me? How can you go back on your word?"

　　"Zhou Yun, I'm still waiting for you to take care of me for the rest of my life, how can you suddenly ignore me?"

　　Feeling Zhou Yun's body getting colder and colder, Li Xiaoxiao's emotions finally broke down, and she fell on Zhou Yun's body and cried desperately. At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao, who had been feeling happy now, finally felt the pain for the first time, and this pain was truly heart-wrenching.

　　Originally, Li Xiaoxiao had only chosen Zhou Yun as her sweetheart in her heart, but she didn't have much understanding of the concept of sweetheart. But now, Li Xiaoxiao really experienced this feeling.

　　If she could go back in time and do it again, Li Xiaoxiao would rather choose to lure away the strange bird herself so that Zhou Yun could be safe.

　　In the heart-wrenching pain, Li Xiaoxiao finally cried until she was tired and gradually lost consciousness. She fell on Zhou Yun's body and passed out. Li Xiaoxiao fell into a coma, and at this time, Zhou Yun, whose body was getting colder and colder, slowly began to emit a ray of ink-colored light on the ring finger of his right hand. Suddenly, a stream of black mist began to slowly rotate in Zhou Yun's body, and was gradually absorbed and pulled out by the ink-colored light.

　　As the black mist was pulled out, Zhou Yun's body temperature immediately began to rise and his face turned red.

　　After a long time, the inky light on the ring finger of Zhou Yun's right hand shone again. This time, a pure, silk-like airflow actually returned from the space ring to Zhou Yun's body. After receiving this pure airflow, Zhou Yun, who was lying there, immediately had a slight change in his temperament.

　　When the unexpected disaster happened at the Shenwei Training Camp, the Lanting Festival in the Lanting Academy had already entered the middle stage.

　　At the meeting, Lin Junyao just sat there quietly. During the poetry and scriptures discussion, Lin Junyao did not actively answer any of the questions. Although she had a good seat, her performance was not outstanding, not even ordinary, and she seemed to be at the bottom of the class.

　　Originally, Lin Junyao didn't want this to happen, but when the event began, an extremely uncomfortable feeling quietly emerged in Lin Junyao's heart. The feeling was extremely subtle, as if the most important person had encountered some unexpected changes.

　　She knew in her heart that the only person who could give her this feeling was probably Zhou Yun.

　　"Could it be that Zhou Yun encountered some danger in the Shenwei training camp?" As soon as this thought popped up in her mind, Lin Junyao couldn't sit still, and her heart became extremely panicked.

　　At this moment, Crown Prince Li Xian behind the pearl curtain also looked unhappy. He watched the noble ladies below speak enthusiastically and show their talents every time the palace maid in charge of the assessment asked questions, while Lin Junyao, the real protagonist in his mind, said nothing. Li Xian became obviously a little anxious.

　　In the early morning, Li Xian had a conversation with Queen Xiao here. At that time, Li Xian was a little surprised about Zhou Yun's true position in the Lin family. At the same time, he was also very worried that if Zhou Yun really sided with the Eighth Prince, he would bring the Lin family and the Fang family down with him.

　　After the Queen's suggestion, Li Xian had thought of a way, that is, at the Lanting Festival, the Queen personally arranged a marriage for him and betrothed Lin Junyao. The Queen Mother's arranged marriage was generally not to be disobeyed. In this way, the biggest invisible bond between Zhou Yun and the Pingnan Duke's Mansion would be cut off, and the things he was worried about would not happen again.

　　If Zhou Yun could not marry Lin Junyao, his influence in the Lin family would immediately become insignificant.

　　Originally, Li Xian's last concern about this proposal was that he didn't know what kind of woman Lin Junyao was. What if she was the kind of person he would hate at first sight? He would inevitably feel upset if he married her into the palace. If he ignored her, it would be detrimental to his relationship with the Lin family.

　　But when Lin Junyao arrived, Li Xian saw her and immediately realized that she was much better than he had imagined. Lin Junyao had a beautiful face, a gentle and calm temperament, and was not pretentious. Every frown and smile of Lin Junyao was extremely attractive, which immediately made Li Xian feel very satisfied.

　　He even felt that if he could ascend the throne in the future, a woman like Lin Junyao would be perfectly suitable to be the mother of the country.

　　But as the Lanting event began, the development of things was completely beyond his imagination. Lin Junyao sat there without saying a word, without any intention of winning. Moreover, later on, this originally calm and composed woman began to show anxiety on her face, as if she wanted to leave at any time.

　　"Mother." Watching the events of the Lanting Festival go by one by one, they had reached the last stage, the appreciation of music. If Lin Junyao didn't perform well, she would have no chance at all.

　　At the Lanting Festival, some noble ladies were assigned to princes, largely based on their talents, reflecting the royal family's fairness. If Lin Junyao was selected despite her performance, then the purpose was too strong, which would almost be equivalent to offending all the participating nobles.

　　Xiao had already sensed Li Xian's worry. She looked at Lin Junyao, who was fidgeting in front of her. A light flashed in her slightly closed eyes, and she finally made a decision.

　　Chapter 141 Broken Strings

　　In the Lanting Academy, all the previous assessment stages have been completed. In the previous assessments, there were indeed several noble ladies with outstanding talents and their performances were very conspicuous, but Lin Junyao was not among them at all.

　　After the last part, the palace maid in charge of the assessment stood up again and spoke gently to the royal ladies in front of her, "Next, we will have the most important item of this Lanting Festival, the appreciation of music. In previous ceremonies, the palace musicians played a piece of music, and everyone was asked to write down their thoughts for evaluation, but this time, our assessment method will be different."

　　Upon hearing this, all the reference ladies raised their heads, and some of them had already vaguely guessed how this aspect would be changed.

　　"This time, our music section will be provided by the royal family with a lost music score, and all the noble ladies will play together to complete it. Since the creation of this music score, few people can understand it. It is extremely mysterious. This time, the queen will also explain this music with everyone to find a like-minded person."

　　Wow!

　　Upon hearing what the palace maid said next, all the noble ladies of the dynasty became excited. According to rumors, the current Queen Xiao was an unparalleled zither artist and was a world-famous zither master. She gradually faded out of the limelight after marrying into the royal family, but her skills must still be there.

　　No matter what, being able to play with the current queen is an extremely honorable thing. Although it is predicted that the song selected this time will definitely be difficult, all the noble ladies present have profound attainments in music and are full of expectations at this moment.

　　The palace maid just said that although the song chosen today is difficult to solve, it is not unsolvable. As long as it is not a masterpiece like "He Ming Chao Tian Song", there must be a chance. Even if it cannot be solved, as long as you can hold on to the end and surpass others, it will be fine.

　　With a smile on her face, the palace maid waited until the noble ladies below calmed down before she took out a small tray from behind her. On the tray, a number of small bamboo boards lay quietly.

　　"The piece engraved on this bamboo board is the music piece for this music test - Qing Hui. According to legend, this piece was composed by Qing Emperor, who unified the Central Plains three thousand years ago and drove away the beast disaster. Qing Emperor is the god of spring, symbolizing the renewal of all things and the vitality of life. Now is the beginning of spring. Playing this Qing Hui piece in this scene and at the Lanting Festival will surely foretell the new look of our Tianyuan Dynasty in the new year."

　　"Now, please choose the musical instrument you want to play. The music score will be delivered together with the selected instrument in a moment." Looking at the ladies below, the palace maid in charge of the assessment smiled and spoke slowly.

　　"Ah, it's Qing Hui."

　　"This piece of music is also extremely difficult, not much different from Crane Singing to the Sky."

　　As soon as the maid finished speaking, the noble ladies below could not help but start to murmur. Hearing that the piece of music to be played this time was Qing Hui, Lin Junyao could not help but be attracted to it. She had also heard of the piece Qing Hui, which had been handed down for more than 3,000 years, and few people had been able to decipher it.

　　Lin Junyao has always wanted to see the true face of Qing Hui, but she has never been able to get the music score. She didn't expect to be able to see it at the Lanting Festival today.

　　Picking up the pen and ink in front of her, Lin Junyao was about to write down the musical instrument she wanted to choose on the rice paper in front of her. Suddenly, a feeling of sadness came into Lin Junyao's heart, making her recall the uneasy feeling from just now until now.

　　If Zhou Yun was in danger, why was I still playing the piano here?

　　Thinking of this, Lin Junyao immediately wanted to put down the pen in her hand and ask for leave.

　　Xiao, who was behind the pearl curtain, had been paying attention to Lin Junyao's movements. Seeing that Lin Junyao was about to put down her pen again, Xiao immediately gently plucked the zither in front of her with her fingers.

　　stirrup……

　　The sound of a subtle plucked string was transmitted. Most of the noble ladies in the room did not hear it, but Lin Junyao, who was closest to the pavilion, heard it. As soon as this wonderful sound of the piano entered her ears, Lin Junyao immediately felt a strange quietness in her heart, and her worry about Zhou Yun actually dissipated quietly.

　　The originally anxious look in her eyes became calm. Lin Junyao picked up the brush again and wrote the word "Guqin" on the rice paper in front of her.

　　"Please hand over the written rice paper to the boatman, and we will distribute the musical instruments you need to everyone." At this time, all the noble ladies had basically written down the musical instruments they wanted to choose, so the palace maid in charge of the assessment naturally stood up again.

　　Following the words of the palace maid, the middle-aged man who had just escorted everyone from the shore to the stone platform appeared again with a bamboo raft and collected the papers handed over by the ladies. After a while, he handed over various musical instruments to the ladies who came for reference.

　　What Lin Junyao got was naturally a guqin. The guqin was of simple and ancient color. Once it was in Lin Junyao's hands, the strings actually rang happily, as if cheering and rejoicing for falling into the hands of a soulmate.

　　Seeing this situation, the attention of other noble ladies around was immediately attracted.

　　Lin Junyao had been very low-key since the start of the exam and had not answered a single question. Gradually, no one paid much attention to her. But at this time, Lin Junyao once again became the focus of everyone.

　　The instrument can sound by itself when picked up. This is a phenomenon that occurs when one reaches a state where music and nature are in harmony. Could it be that Lin Junyao already has such superb musical skills?

　　At this time, Lin Junyao felt more at peace because of the sound of the piano, and the restlessness in her heart had quietly dissipated.

　　In the octagonal pavilion in the center of the lake, seeing the change in Lin Junyao's expression, Crown Prince Li Xian immediately spoke respectfully to the person beside him, "It is still mother who has a way to soothe her mind with the sound of the zither. It seems that mother's understanding of the divine song "Taiyuan" has become more advanced."

　　His face still looked calm, but Xiao's eyes were obviously more open than before, and the light in his eyes was brighter than before.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao, Xiao spoke slowly, "I didn't expect that this noble lady of the Lin family is so good at playing the zither. At such a young age, she has reached the state of harmony between music and nature. She is not much inferior to what I was in my youth."

　　Originally, Xiao wanted to use the music to calm Lin Junyao's mind so that she could give her best in the next test. Moreover, because of this, she specially gave Lin Junyao a precious zither called 'Autumn Rain'. However, she didn't expect that the precious zither would resonate with Lin Junyao as soon as it got into her hands. This also made Xiao feel a little surprised. Perhaps, Lin Junyao really had the ability to play the Qing Hui with her.

　　The event left some time for all the noble ladies to familiarize themselves with the music scores. Sitting in her seat, Lin Junyao, who had calmed down, silently checked the music scores in front of her. Suddenly, a mysterious feeling entered Lin Junyao's mind.

　　This Qing Hui is a famous song handed down from generation to generation, it is extraordinary. Lin Junyao just took a look at it and immediately felt like she couldn't let it go. However, famous songs handed down from generation to generation naturally have their difficulties. After reading the whole song, Lin Junyao immediately felt several extremely difficult parts.

　　The fingering of this Qing Hui music is repetitive and majestic. Some parts cannot be played alone and require the coordination of another musical instrument in order to be played smoothly.

　　“It all depends on whether the Queen chooses to lead the music or follow along. I will cooperate with her.” Seeing the music score, Lin Junyao really immersed herself in it.

　　About an incense stick of time later, there was a sudden 'clang' sound, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it. Although it was just the sound of a zither, the artistic conception contained in it was indescribable.

　　Upon hearing the sound, Lin Junyao knew that the Queen in the octagonal pavilion had already started.

　　Slowly placing Baoqin 'Qiuyu' in front of her, Lin Junyao also entered a state of preparation.

　　As soon as she got the zither, Lin Junyao's entire temperament changed immediately, becoming indescribably extraordinary and intoxicating.

　　clang!

　　At this time, another gentle piano sound was heard, as if all things were reviving in early spring, which made people feel refreshed.

　　At this time, Lin Junyao placed her hands on the guqin in front of her and gently stroked it. Although she joined in suddenly, her voice was not abrupt at all, and it blended perfectly with the sound in the octagonal pavilion.

　　Seeing that Lin Junyao chose the right time to play the piano, Xiao in the pavilion finally revealed a barely perceptible smile on his face.

　　Instead, they chose flutes, tail harps, flower drums and other instruments to play together, and the entire small lake was suddenly immersed in a fairyland of melodious music.

　　This Qing Hui is a famous piece of music handed down from generation to generation. It is extremely difficult to perform. After an incense stick of time, most of the noble ladies had given up. Half an hour later, when the piece entered the middle, everyone immediately discovered that only Lin Junyao sitting in the front row and Queen Xiao in the octagonal pavilion were still playing.

　　Both of them chose the guqin, and they complemented each other perfectly!

　　Listening to the celestial music beside his ears, the smile on the face of Crown Prince Li Xian, who was sitting next to the Queen, became more and more intense. When it came to music, Lin Junyao's performance had completely overshadowed everyone else. With such a performance, plus the fact that she could be regarded as a soulmate by the Queen, it was legitimate for them to arrange a marriage.

　　At this time, all the noble ladies in the field felt sad. After this music test, they were afraid that they had all been outshined by the noble lady of the Duke of Pingnan who had remained silent.

　　"Ah! Look!" Just when everyone was thinking about their own things, suddenly, a surprised voice was heard. Following the person's voice, everyone discovered that the originally calm water in the small lake actually began to move on its own, and the lotus flowers in the lake also began to sway in the wind. After a while, many lotus flowers that had not yet bloomed actually bloomed.

　　The water flowed and the flowers bloomed. Suddenly, the whole small garden became more lively than before. The noble ladies who were originally worried that Lin Junyao would steal their limelight were all immersed in it. Although they were no longer able to continue playing along with the rhythm of Lin Junyao and Queen Xiao, they still followed the rhythm and clapped their hands naturally.

　　The entire venue turned into a sea of ​​joy.

　　At this time, Lin Junyao's heart was surprisingly calm, and she was completely immersed in the experience of the music.

　　Gradually, the entire Qinghui Opera has reached its final section, and it seems that this extremely difficult piece of music is about to be completed.

　　But at this moment, there was a "clang" sound, and three strings of the Yaoqin in Lin Junyao's hand suddenly broke.

　　As the strings of the zither broke, the fairy music in the field stopped for a moment. Looking at the field, Lin Junyao, who was originally sitting there, had already stood up, and her pretty face had already turned pale!

　　At that moment, Lin Junyao, who was still playing quietly, suddenly felt an incomparable pain in her heart, which almost crushed her heart. Although she didn't know that the pain was because Zhou Yun was seriously injured by the black strange bird in the No. 1 examination room of the Shenwei training camp at this moment, she knew that something must have happened to Zhou Yun, and her premonition was not wrong.

　　"Your Majesty, Jun Yao has something extremely important to tell you. I would like to take my leave first. Please agree." Her pretty face was instantly covered with traces of tears. Lin Jun Yao bowed deeply towards the octagonal pavilion in front of her and begged.

　　Chapter 142 Xiao's Plan

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's tear-stained face, Xiao behind the bead curtain could only shake her head helplessly. She didn't know what force made Lin Junyao break free from the control of her piano music at that moment.

　　At this time, all the noble ladies of the dynasty in the field were stunned. Originally, they were still immersed in the wonderful artistic conception brought by the Qinghui song, but all this was suddenly broken by Lin Junyao.

　　Not only that, Lin Junyao also directly proposed to leave here immediately. Didn't this really dampen the Queen's interest?

　　Just as everyone was gloating over what might happen to Lin Junyao next, Queen Xiao behind the pearl curtain slowly spoke.

　　"Well, Junyao, I can see that you are not feeling well today. Since the strings of your zither are broken and you have important matters to attend to, you don't have to stay long. I like your piano skills very much. I will invite you to the palace to study music together later." Unlike what everyone thought, the queen behind the pearl curtain was not angry at all. Instead, she admired Lin Junyao very much.

　　After hearing what Queen Xiao said, Lin Junyao was shocked, but also deeply moved.

　　"Thank you, Your Majesty." After bowing sincerely towards the octagonal pavilion in front of her, Lin Junyao turned around and boarded the bamboo raft that had been prepared beside her.

　　As Lin Junyao left, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence. This had never happened in any of the previous Lanting events.

　　Just when all the ladies were at a loss, the Queen's voice came out from behind the pearl curtain again, "The music appreciation test has been passed, and the Lanting Festival has come to an end. I am very satisfied with the talents of all the ladies. Each of you will receive a royal reward. As for the ranking of the Lanting Festival, it will be sent directly from the palace to your respective residences later. I am a little tired, please kneel down and greet me."

　　Hearing the sound coming from behind the beaded curtain, all the noble ladies attending the event were stunned. Such a wonderful event ended so abruptly just because the noble lady of the Duke of Pingnan's zither strings broke and she lost her position. This was a scene that these noble ladies had never imagined before.

　　Although they had tried their best to perform before, looking at the current situation, the limelight of this event was still snatched away by Lin Junyao. Although her sudden departure at the end seemed inappropriate to them, after all, Lin Junyao did get the Queen's personal approval.

　　"Your Highness, I will take my leave."

　　Even though they were unwilling, the queen had already announced the end of the event, so they did not dare to stay any longer and left one after another.

　　At this time, Lin Junyao had been taken to the lake by the bamboo raft. As soon as she got ashore, she trotted under the protection of the Lin family servants who followed her, got into her own float, and left quickly.

　　The other noble ladies from various dynasties who participated in the event were taken ashore one by one by the middle-aged boatman on bamboo rafts, and then left on their own floats.

　　After everyone had left, Li Xian spoke up in the octagonal pavilion, "Mother, although the Lanting Festival ended a little hastily, the goal we wanted to achieve has been achieved. I wonder what you are going to do?"

　　Just now, he had seen Lin Junyao, and he already had a desire to possess this woman in his heart. If he could get Lin Junyao and at the same time pull the Lin family and the Fang family to his side, it would definitely be a huge gain.

　　"In a few days, I will personally issue an order to invite her to the palace, and then mention the matter of marrying you to her. I believe there will be nothing wrong." After leaving these words calmly, Xiao's eyes slowly closed again.

　　Seeing that the queen had already started to rest, Li Xian did not dare to disturb her any longer. He stood up and clasped his fists and said, "In this case, I would like to thank you very much, mother. I will take my leave first."

　　Lin Junyao didn't know about the discussion between the Queen and the Crown Prince, and she couldn't imagine that she had always been carefully protected by the Lin family. She never cared about fame, wealth and status, and she didn't even know that she had become the key point in the competition for the throne.

　　At this moment, Lin Junyao just wanted to go back home immediately, find his brother, and ask Zhou Yun if he had suffered any accident in the Shenwei training camp.

　　Although Lin Junyao had no cultivation and did not possess the so-called sense of crisis of a warrior, she believed that there was a kind of mental connection between her and Zhou Yun like that between lovers. The extreme pain in her heart just now must have been because something happened to Zhou Yun.

　　After coming out of Lanting Academy, Lin Junyao directly ordered his warriors to drive back at full speed. At this moment, there were still many people on the road from Lanting Academy to the east gate of the capital, but soon they found that the noble lady of the Duke of Pingnan, who had a peaceful and happy face when she went to Lanting Academy, had an anxious and sad face when she went back.

　　Although Lin Junyao's car passed by very quickly and they did not see it clearly, that feeling still entered everyone's hearts.

　　Although it was a bit inappropriate to drive at full speed when the two roads were surrounded by people, Lin Junyao didn't care about that at the moment. The journey that would normally take more than an hour was completed in less than half an hour.

　　Before the carriage heard the arrival of the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion, Lin Junyao immediately jumped off the carriage.

　　"Miss, be careful!" Seeing the untrained Lin Junyao jump directly from the nearly 1.5-meter-tall car, the Lin family warrior who was originally preparing to get a step stool was immediately startled and hurried over to help her, but Lin Junyao directly blocked his hand and ran all the way into the Lin family mansion.

　　At this time, the atmosphere in Lin Juntian's study was equally solemn. Such a major change had occurred in the Shenwei Training Camp. The news spread from the training camp at the first time and was quickly sent to the noble courtyards of various aristocratic families in the capital.

　　For those princes and nobles who lost their relatives in this incident, such news must be extremely sad. And for the Lin family who had no children entering the Shenwei training camp, such news was definitely not good.

　　"Brother Tian, ​​what does the letter say?" At this time, Lin Juntian had also received the news from the Shenwei training camp. Seeing the news, Lin Juntian's face immediately became solemn. Seeing Lin Juntian's expression, Fang Xueyin immediately asked with concern.

　　With his brows furrowed into an obvious "川" shape, Lin Juntian looked at the news on the letter and said with lingering fear, "In the Shenwei Training Camp, a ferocious beast mysteriously rioted in the No. 1 examination room. Twenty-one of the twenty-five candidates who were training in the No. 1 examination room have been confirmed dead. The Third Princess and the Yingwu County King were seriously injured. The whereabouts of the Yuling County Lord and Zhou Yun are unknown. Although they have not been confirmed dead, no clues have been found in the entire examination room."

　　As soon as Lin Juntian finished speaking, even Fang Xueyin, who was usually very calm, showed an extremely shocked expression on her face, "The beasts are rioting. Aren't all the beasts in the Shenwei training camp domesticated? And with General Yan Yin in charge, how could such a thing happen?"

　　The ferocious beasts were rioting. This was the news that came out of the Shenwei training camp. There was no mention of the space crack and the black strange bird in the letter. Such things were already top secrets of the entire Tianyuan Dynasty. Even if someone had a noble identity like Lin Juntian, he would not be aware of such news.

　　Although the true situation was not stated in the letter, with Lin Juntian's knowledge, he naturally would not believe the claim of a ferocious beast riot. There must be other hidden secrets. However, Lin Juntian did not know what the real secret was.

　　Closing the letter in his hand, Lin Juntian spoke slowly, "In this Shenwei training camp, most of the sixty-four students died. This kind of thing has never happened in the thirty years since the founding of the Tianyuan Dynasty. It seems that the dynasty is about to change."

　　After hearing what Lin Juntian said, Fang Xueying on the side also nodded silently. From the opening of the Shenwei Training Camp to now, thirty-seven of the sixty-four students have died, and most of these thirty-seven students are likely to become the pillars of the dynasty in the future. Such a huge loss is difficult for the Tianyuan Dynasty, which has a relatively solid foundation after thirty years of rule, to bear.

　　What's more terrifying is that most of these fallen students were born in the families of powerful princes of the current dynasty. The death of these princes will also have a great impact on these princes in power. Most of these princes are still the current core of the Tianyuan Dynasty. Such a major blow may directly confuse these princes and cause the entire dynasty system to malfunction. This is the most terrifying thing.

　　Therefore, Lin Juntian said, "The dynasty is about to change."

　　But these are not things that Lin Junyao and Fang Xueyin should consider. Now, what they are most worried about is Zhou Yun's safety.

　　"Brother Tian, ​​the whereabouts of Zhou Yun and Princess Yuling are unknown. Do you think they will..." With a worried look on her face, Fang Xueying spoke hesitantly.

　　Although it was not stated explicitly, Fang Xueying's meaning was already very clear. The ferocious beasts rioted in Examination Room No. 1. Even if this was false news, it meant that something extremely terrible definitely happened in Examination Room No. 1.

　　At this time, the whereabouts of Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao were unknown. I'm afraid they had probably died, but it has not been confirmed yet.

　　Naturally understanding Fang Xueyin's meaning, Lin Juntian silently shook his head and said slowly, "I can't be sure, but I don't believe that Zhou Yun would die like this. He has a very tough life."

　　Although he could not say that he liked Zhou Yun, he loved him and loved Lin Junyao, so he did not want Zhou Yun to get hurt. If Zhou Yun really died in the Shenwei training camp, Lin Junyao's reaction could be imagined.

　　His gentle and kind sister's life might be ruined like this, which Lin Juntian absolutely could not tolerate.

　　"You kid, you must not die like this." Looking up, Lin Juntian sighed silently, and Fang Xueying, who was standing beside him, could only shake her head.

　　Just when there was silence in the room, the door of the study was suddenly "kicked open", and the next moment, Lin Junyao, with a panicked look on her face, rushed in.

　　"Jun Yao!" Lin Juntian was immediately shocked when he saw his sister.

　　"Brother, has something happened to Zhou Yun?" Without any extra words, Lin Junyao directly asked the most crucial point.

　　Hearing Lin Junyao's words, an extremely stiff look immediately flashed across Lin Juntian's face. Seeing Lin Juntian's look, Lin Junyao's tears immediately burst out.

　　Chapter 143 They Are Not Dead Yet

　　Seeing Lin Juntian’s reaction, Lin Junyao immediately knew that something really happened to Zhou Yun.

　　Although Lin Junyao is simple and doesn't like to calculate, she is not stupid.

　　The whole person immediately began to shake. Lin Junyao felt that she had no strength left in her body and was about to fall down.

　　"Jun Yao!" Seeing Lin Jun Yao become like this in an instant, Fang Xueyin and Lin Juntian immediately ran over and supported Lin Jun Yao who was about to fall.

　　Lin Junyao was supported by Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin on the left and right, and she finally did not fall down. But it was obvious that Lin Junyao did not care about it at all at this time. She grabbed Lin Juntian's hand and trembled as she said, "Brother, tell me, what happened to Zhou Yun?"

　　When Lin Junyao asked, there was obvious fear in her voice, because she was really afraid of hearing the news she least wanted to hear. Although there was fear in her voice, there was a glimmer of hope in Lin Junyao's eyes, and she also hoped to hear that Zhou Yun was okay.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's eager eyes and listening to her trembling voice, Lin Juntian didn't know how to tell her about Zhou Yun's current situation for a moment.

　　After exchanging a glance with Fang Xueying beside him and getting a positive answer, Lin Juntian directly handed the letter from the Shenwei Training Camp to Lin Junyao.

　　Lin Junyao took the letter tremblingly and looked at it carefully. After a quick glance, her body immediately trembled even more violently and tears fell like beads from a broken string.

　　Suddenly, Lin Junyao threw down the letter in her hand, staggered out and wanted to turn around and leave.

　　"Jun Yao, where are you going?" Seeing Lin Jun Yao's unsteady steps, Lin Jun Yao and Fang Xue Yin were immediately frightened and chased after her.

　　Lin Junyao was already somewhat confused at this time, with a bewildered look in her eyes, but her words were very clear, "No, I have to go find him. Zhou Yun must be fine. I must find him."

　　Upon hearing Lin Junyao's words, Lin Juntian was immediately startled and hurriedly spoke out to stop her, "Junyao, don't be impulsive. Zhou Yun is in the Shenwei training camp, which is completely closed. Even the royal family can't send people in, so you can't get in."

　　"I don't care! I must go! I must!" Suddenly, Lin Junyao screamed, broke free from Lin Juntian's pull, and ran outside.

　　Shaking his head, Lin Juntian flashed and appeared behind Lin Junyao. He reached out and grabbed the back of Lin Junyao's neck. With a little force, Lin Junyao immediately fainted.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao who had lost consciousness and fell into his arms, Lin Juntian's eyes flashed with deep heartache.

　　"Xueyin, let Junyao live with you these days and take good care of her. Don't let her do anything extreme. I still have to go to Lanxinyuan. Just say that Junyao is out for something. You can't let Zhou Xue know about this." After handing Lin Junyao to Fang Xueyin, Lin Juntian spoke slowly.

　　"I understand. I will take care of this matter. If it really doesn't work, let Junyao sleep more and stay awake less. At least she won't feel so uncomfortable. In any case, I hope there will be news from the Shenwei training camp sooner." After taking over Lin Junyao, Fang Xueying could only sigh and shake her head.

　　Upon learning that Zhou Yun was in danger and his life or death was unknown, Lin Junyao naturally fell into panic. At this time, all the people who were searching in the Shenwei Training Camp had been withdrawn.

　　Looking at Li Wanqiu, whose face was still pale but eyes were still full of unwillingness, Yan Yin slowly said, "Third Princess, don't look for them anymore. Princess Yuling and Zhou Yun may no longer be here."

　　In fact, Yan Yin had wanted to say this a long time ago, but he had been holding back. With the appearance of the three-eyed demon eagle, all the candidates here theoretically had no chance of survival. Li Fengyun and Li Wanqiu relied on their high cultivation, noble status, and precious treasures to survive.

　　But Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao did not have such conditions at all. Zhou Yun was penniless, and Li Xiaoxiao's cultivation was not good enough. If they met the three-eyed demon eagle, they would probably be killed directly at the first sight.

　　No clues have been found so far. It is probably because the two people were directly eaten, or they were completely dismembered in the scramble among many three-eyed magic eagles. Apart from these two possibilities, Yan Yin really can't think of any other possibilities.

　　"If this team of soldiers is tired, someone else will continue the search." When those three-eyed magic eagles entered just now, Li Wanqiu had expended a lot of energy to escape this disaster. She was already very tired at this time, but she still did not give up looking for Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao.

　　"Third Princess..." Seeing Li Wanqiu's determination, Yan Yin felt a little embarrassed.

　　After calming down and taking a look at Yan Yin riding on the strange beast, Li Wanqiu spoke slowly, "I have just checked outside. Zhou Yun and Xiao Xiao's names have not disappeared from the Emperor's Elite List, which means they are still alive. Don't give up the search. They must need our help now. Close down Examination Room No. 1, and tell all the beasts not to attack anyone. Then search carefully, inch by inch!"

　　Although his expression was calm, Li Wanqiu's words were extremely firm, and contained an irresistible aura.

　　When Yan Yin heard Li Wanqiu mention the Emperor's Elite List, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly took out a bamboo slip and looked at it.

　　After reading it, Yan Yin immediately announced loudly, "Everyone listen up, close examination room number one, and then do your best to search for the whereabouts of Zhou Yun and Princess Yuling. We must find them even if we have to dig deep into the ground!"

　　As the person in charge of this assessment, Yan Yin naturally had a way to check the Emperor Elite List at any time. Just now, he found that Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao's names were still on the list.

　　Others may not know, but Yan Yin is clear. This Shenwei Training Camp itself is a separate crystal space. Everyone who steps into this space will leave a record. If the vitality of this person dissipates, then their name will naturally disappear from the Emperor Elite List.

　　But when Yan Yin checked just now, he found that Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao's names were still there, which means that these two people are definitely still alive.

　　"Understood sir!" After hearing Yan Yin's order, the Flame Army soldiers who had been gathered together once again spread out and began to carefully search every inch of land in Examination Room No. 1.

　　Several other Flame Army soldiers were guarding the entrance to the examination room and, following Yan Yin's instructions, sealed off the entire examination room.

　　Seeing that everything was going steadily according to his wishes, Li Wanqiu finally couldn't hold on any longer.

　　"Third Princess, I'll be watching over this place. You should go back to the small building and have some rest." Seeing that Li Wanqiu's face was getting paler and paler, Yan Yin hurriedly reminded her.

　　Li Wanqiu waved his hand without replying. He took out a pill from his space ring, swallowed it, and then sat down under the shade of a tree at the edge of Examination Room No. 1, closing his eyes and began to regulate his breathing silently.

　　Li Wanqiu's attitude was very clear. If she couldn't find Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao, she would never leave here.

　　Looking at Li Wanqiu sitting there without saying a word, Yan Yin sighed helplessly, urged the strange beast under his crotch, and joined the searching team.

　　In that secret pond and cave, Zhou Yun slowly woke up until the evening.

　　"Hmm..." As soon as he woke up, Zhou Yun immediately felt a sharp pain on his back. It felt like the coldest thing in the world was sticking to his body, and his skin seemed to be frozen and cracked. Zhou Yun couldn't help but groan in great pain, but his body couldn't move at all.

　　"Woo." Although Zhou Yun's hum was very light, it still woke up Li Xiaoxiao who was lying on him. With a sweet and innocent snort, Li Xiaoxiao climbed up from Zhou Yun's body.

　　She was still a little confused, but before Li Xiaoxiao had time to rub her eyes, she immediately recalled the situation before she fainted. Moreover, she seemed to have woken up because she heard a light hum.

　　"Zhou Yun! You're awake!" Li Xiaoxiao suddenly became sober, and she grabbed Zhou Yun's hand on her side and cried out excitedly. Although she was celebrating, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shed tears, a typical cry of joy.

　　Li Xiaoxiao never wanted to experience the feeling of losing Zhou Yun again before she fell into coma.

　　"Well, I'm awake, don't worry." Zhou Yun could hear the joy in Li Xiaoxiao's voice, and he was touched. Zhou Yun vaguely remembered what happened before he fell into the coma. At that time, he felt that he was attacked by the black bird and fell into the pool. Then, a pair of hands hugged him in the pool. Now that he thought about it, it must be Li Xiaoxiao.

　　Feeling the moist air around him, Zhou Yun knew that this might be a swimming hole under the pool of water. Fortunately, he was brought here by Li Xiaoxiao, otherwise, even if he didn't float up and be killed by the strange black bird, he would have drowned.

　　"Xiaoxiao, you saved me, thank you." Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately smiled and thanked Li Xiaoxiao.

　　Upon hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao's tears immediately flowed even more fiercely, "What are you talking about? It was obviously you who saved me."

　　Now thinking back to the time when she encountered that terrifying black bird and Zhou Yun's performance between life and death, Li Xiaoxiao's heart is still filled with sweet emotions. After she finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao did not forget to give Zhou Yun a gentle push.

　　"Hmm..." It didn't matter that Li Xiaoxiao pushed him away, Zhou Yun immediately let out a painful groan.

　　"Zhou Yun, are you hurt?" Li Xiaoxiao exclaimed immediately when she heard Zhou Yun's snort.

　　It has been quite a while since he woke up, and Zhou Yun felt the unprecedented pain on his back more clearly. He nodded and said, "The wound is on my back."

　　"Wait a minute, I'll go out to find someone, don't move." Having been with Zhou Yun for a long time, Li Xiaoxiao naturally knew that Zhou Yun was a very tough person. If Zhou Yun was not in extreme pain, he would definitely not make a sound. Li Xiaoxiao felt anxious and wanted to leave.

　　"Don't go. It will be dangerous if that strange bird is still there." Grabbing Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun hurriedly spoke.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao was also stunned for a moment, but still insisted on speaking, "It must be okay. This is the Shenwei Training Camp. The Red Flame Army will not let us be killed. Now those strange birds must have been eliminated."

　　What Li Xiaoxiao is most worried about now is Zhou Yun's injury. She can't bear to watch Zhou Yun waiting here in such pain for a moment.

　　"Wait a minute, let me take a look." Suddenly, Zhou Yun found that although his body was in so much pain that he couldn't move at all, his mind was extremely clear. This place didn't seem far from the ground, so why not release his spiritual sense to sense it? Zhou Yun's spiritual sense could cover a range of 300 meters, so he could check the surrounding situation anyway.

　　After speaking out to stop Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun immediately held his breath and concentrated, releasing his spiritual sense.

　　"Huh? How could this happen!" As soon as Zhou Yun calmly released his spiritual sense, he could not help but let out a light cry!

　　Chapter 144: Salvation

　　As soon as his spiritual sense was released, Zhou Yun immediately had a new experience of sudden enlightenment.

　　Before, when Zhou Yun released his spiritual sense to explore the surrounding things, the area covered was only three hundred meters in radius. But this time when he released his spiritual sense, Zhou Yun felt that his spiritual sense actually covered a very large area. If you really want to measure it carefully, the area that Zhou Yun's spiritual sense can now cover has exceeded ten miles in radius. In other words, Zhou Yun can clearly sense everything within a radius of five kilometers.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun could sense the trees in the dense forest surrounding the pool, some hidden ferocious beasts, and even some people who came and went like the wind.

　　These people were obviously looking for him and Li Xiaoxiao.

　　"Zhou Yun, what's wrong with you?" The cave was pitch black. Li Xiaoxiao waited for a long time but didn't hear any movement from Zhou Yun, so she couldn't help asking. In fact, she was already very surprised when Zhou Yun said he wanted to take a look. Now Zhou Yun was lying in the cave and couldn't move, so how could he take a look?

　　Zhou Yun withdrew his spiritual sense after hearing Li Xiaoxiao's question. Although he didn't know why his spiritual sense had become so strong, the most important thing now was to get out. Zhou Yun didn't know how long he had been lying here. If he missed this stage of assessment, it would be troublesome.

　　This time Zhou Yun finally got a very good result, and was still waiting to obtain a valuable treasure to allow his cultivation to enter the stage of internal organ training and blood transfusion. If something went wrong here, wouldn't it be a laughing stock?

　　"Xiaoxiao, go up. Examination Room No. 1 is fine. Once you go up, just shout for help and someone will come right away." Zhou Yun focused his mind and spoke to Li Xiaoxiao. He had sensed that there were many Red Flame soldiers searching for them nearby. As long as Li Xiaoxiao went out, she would be able to find help right away.

　　"Really?" Hearing Zhou Yun's certainty, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but become suspicious. She was not afraid of danger, but she couldn't understand how Zhou Yun could "see" the situation outside.

　　"No problem, go ahead." Naturally, he could hear the doubt in Li Xiaoxiao's words, but how could he explain this matter? Zhou Yun had no choice but to wave his hand and let Li Xiaoxiao go up.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun so sure, Li Xiaoxiao did not stop. In her mind, Zhou Yun was the most trustworthy person. As long as Zhou Yun said there was no problem, Li Xiaoxiao was willing to believe it.

　　"Don't move here, I'll be back soon." After comforting Zhou Yun gently, Li Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, turned around and dived into the water behind her.

　　Li Xiaoxiao had dived through this passage twice, so there would naturally be no problem. Soon, Li Xiaoxiao emerged from the small pool of water.

　　After looking around carefully, Li Xiaoxiao did not find any trace of the strange black bird. Moreover, the depressing feeling that she had when the strange black bird was there just now had long since disappeared.

　　Although Li Xiaoxiao's cultivation level was not high, she still had the basic sensing ability of a warrior. As soon as she came out of the water, Li Xiaoxiao immediately felt that there was no danger here.

　　"Help come! Someone is injured here!" Li Xiaoxiao shouted as soon as she got out of the water.

　　Before he could finish his words, three or four red figures immediately gathered towards where Li Xiaoxiao was, and in the blink of an eye they were standing in front of Li Xiaoxiao.

　　"Greetings, Princess!" They all bowed to Li Xiaoxiao in unison, and one of them immediately took out a large blanket and wrapped Li Xiaoxiao up. The water in the pool was actually very cold, and Li Xiaoxiao felt a little chilly and shivered. After wrapping herself in the blanket, Li Xiaoxiao immediately felt much more comfortable.

　　"Hurry, Zhou Yun is still down there, in a water cave. Go and rescue him up quickly. Be gentle, he is seriously injured." After her body warmed up a little, Li Xiaoxiao immediately spoke to the several Red Flame Army soldiers beside her.

　　As soon as Li Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the Red Flame Army soldiers changed slightly.

　　They had also seen how powerful the three-eyed demon eagle was. In the entire examination room, except for the two extraordinary strong men Li Wanqiu and Li Fengyun, all the others had died without any suspense. However, Zhou Yun actually survived, and he also protected Yuling County Princess Li Xiaoxiao.

　　All the soldiers of the Tianyuan Dynasty respect the strong, including the soldiers of the Chiyan Army. Now, they truly respect Zhou Yun from the bottom of their hearts.

　　"You two go down and rescue Zhou Yun. I'll prepare a stretcher, and you go and notify General Yan Yin and the third princess immediately." Soon, the leader of the four Red Flame Army soldiers made proper arrangements.

　　Then, two designated Red Flame Army soldiers jumped directly into the pool of water in front of them, while the other one flashed and disappeared quickly to inform Yan Yin and Li Wanqiu.

　　The Red Flame Army soldier who gave the order quickly drew his sword, cut two thick branches and some short branches to use as a frame from the nearby big trees, then tied a piece of cloth from his leggings and began to wrap it up. Soon, he had made a stretcher.

　　Seeing the actions of the Red Flame Army soldier, as if remembering something, Li Xiaoxiao immediately stretched out her little hand from the blanket wrapped around her, waved it slightly, and immediately, a quilt appeared in her hand.

　　"This stretcher is too hard. Put this on it." Li Xiaoxiao ordered as he handed over the quilt.

　　After a pause, the Red Flame Army soldier finally did as he was told. He took Li Xiaoxiao's quilt and spread it on the newly prepared stretcher. The entire stretcher immediately became comfortable.

　　At this time, the two soldiers who went into the water had brought Zhou Yun out. They were both people with extremely high cultivation. Originally, they did not sense the presence of Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao because they were underwater. Now with Li Xiaoxiao's guidance, they could naturally and accurately find Zhou Yun's position as soon as they got into the water.

　　"Quick, put him up." Zhou Yun's wounds were already painful, and even if the two Red Flame Army soldiers moved gently, Zhou Yun's wounds were still affected. In addition, he was frozen by the cold water in the pool, and his condition immediately looked worse.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's condition, Li Xiaoxiao ran up immediately.

　　Just as they put Zhou Yun on the stretcher, Li Wanqiu got the news and rushed over.

　　"Sister Wanqiu!" Seeing Li Wanqiu, Li Xiaoxiao immediately ran over, threw herself into her arms and started crying.

　　Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao was not injured, Li Wanqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when she looked at Zhou Yun, she immediately knew that Zhou Yun's situation seemed a little bad at the moment, "Don't talk here for now, take Zhou Yun back quickly, this is not the place to talk."

　　After comforting Li Xiaoxiao for a moment, Li Wanqiu immediately spoke.

　　Soon, two Red Flame Army soldiers carried Zhou Yun out of Examination Room No. 1 and returned to the living area.

　　After such a long time, it was already dark. After sending Zhou Yun back to the small building where he lived, several soldiers of the Red Flame Army left immediately. Although Zhou Yun was injured, he was in the Shenwei Training Camp after all. The Shenwei Training Camp was not responsible for the treatment of injuries in this place.

　　How much he can recover depends on Zhou Yun himself, or how much his friends can help him.

　　After such a big change, Zhou Yun also felt extremely tired. Lying on his bed, Zhou Yun only felt sleepy and fell asleep directly.

　　Although Li Xiaoxiao was also very tired, she still stayed by Zhou Yun's side without leaving.

　　Sitting beside Li Xiaoxiao, Li Wanqiu raised his hand and placed it on Zhou Yun's wrist. He felt Zhou Yun's pulse and said, "Xiaoxiao, I've seen Zhou Yun. Although he was injured, he is not in danger of death. It's getting late. You should go back and rest early so that Zhou Yun can rest and recover his strength. I'll come to see him tomorrow to see if there is any way to heal him."

　　Although she said so, Li Wanqiu was not sure at all. Others didn't know what the three-eyed demon eagle was, but as a royal princess, how could she not know?

　　Being hit by the void magic energy of the three-eyed demon eagle, under the current conditions, it is almost impossible to recover.

　　This void demonic energy is not comparable to ordinary true power. It is an extremely powerful force that exists in the void world. Unless a warrior with a cultivation level above the Martial Saint can be found to dissolve this demonic energy for Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun can be restored to his original state.

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Li Xiaoxiao didn't even turn her head. She sat quietly beside the bed and stared at Zhou Yun. Li Xiaoxiao said, "Sister Wanqiu, I won't go back. I want to stay here with him. He is injured now and can't move. At least he needs someone to help him serve tea and water. I can't leave him here alone."

　　After a series of mishaps, Li Xiaoxiao's mind was very confused, but she knew clearly in her heart that she would not leave for a moment until Zhou Yun's injuries improved.

　　As soon as Li Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Li Wanqiu immediately exclaimed in surprise, "No! Xiaoxiao, you are still an unmarried girl, and Uncle Wang hasn't arranged a marriage for you. If you stay here alone at night, how will people outside talk about you in the future? How can you live your life!"

　　Female virtues and etiquette are still extremely important in the Tianyuan Dynasty. If Li Xiaoxiao does not leave here at night, it will definitely be a shocking thing. If it gets out, Li Xiaoxiao's reputation will be completely ruined.

　　As if not taking these things seriously at all, Li Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Sister Wanqiu, I'm not afraid. After the Shenwei training camp is over, I will immediately go to my father and ask him to get married for us. So, there's nothing wrong with me staying here with him."

　　Looking at Zhou Yun lying on the bed, Li Xiaoxiao spoke calmly. Although her words were not fierce, they contained an extremely firm meaning.

　　Li Xiaoxiao's words made Li Wanqiu at the side not know how to persuade her. After a long silence, Li Wanqiu finally spoke again.

　　"Xiaoxiao, have you really thought it through? Also, have you told Zhou Yun about this? Is he willing to marry you?" Looking at Li Xiaoxiao's expression, she might have already decided on Zhou Yun, but Li Wanqiu still couldn't help but worry.

　　With a happy smile on her face, Li Xiaoxiao said, "Although I haven't told him yet, I can feel that Zhou Yun cares about me very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't risk his life to fight against that strange bird and protect me. Sister Wanqiu, don't worry, Zhou Yun will definitely treat me well."

　　Looking at Li Xiaoxiao's appearance, she was obviously a little crazy. Girls who had just fallen in love would behave like this. Li Wanqiu knew that even if she said anything at this time, Li Xiaoxiao would not listen.

　　With a silent sigh, Li Wanqiu shook his head, turned around and walked out.

　　Chapter 145 Li Xiaoxiao's Decision

　　In the eastern district of the capital, at the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan, there is a guest room in Lin Juntian's courtyard. This was originally where Fang Xueying lived after returning to the capital, but now the person lying on the bed has become Lin Junyao.

　　The moonlight poured in, and Lin Junyao, who was lying on the bed, frowned slightly, with a hint of struggle on her face, but she couldn't wake up.

　　Beside Lin Junyao's bed, Fang Xueyin, dressed in white, sat quietly on the bed, with her right hand gently placed on Lin Junyao's shoulder. A faint breath was floating around, and it was this breath that constantly soothed Lin Junyao's restless emotions.

　　"Xue Yin, how is Jun Yao?" At this time, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Lin Juntian walked into the room and asked softly.

　　"The situation is not good. She is emotionally agitated and mentally confused. I am doing my best to comfort her." Fang Xueyin said with a silent sigh.

　　After listening to Fang Xueying's story, Lin Juntian's face also showed a distressed expression. Standing beside Fang Xueying, looking at Lin Junyao on the bed, frowning, muttering to herself, clutching her clothes with both hands, and shaking her head randomly, Lin Juntian felt his heart aching.

　　"Zhou Yun is such a bastard. Jun Yao suffers so much following him." Seeing his sister so sad, Lin Juntian instinctively blamed Zhou Yun.

　　Seeing Lin Juntian's angry and distressed look, Fang Xueyin naturally understood her fiancé's thoughts, but as a woman, she had a different view on such things, "Brother Tian, ​​Junyao chose this path herself, as long as she is happy. Besides, I always feel that Zhou Yun will be fine this time."

　　"Why?" Lin Juntian spoke immediately with his eyes lighting up.

　　"News from the Shenwei Training Camp has been coming back. The latest news is that the Third Princess is still leading the Red Flame Army to search in Examination Room No. 1. Zhou Yun's name has not disappeared from the Emperor's Elite List. No matter what happened in Examination Room No. 1, it now seems that the danger is over. If Zhou Yun had not dodged it, he would have disappeared from the Emperor's Elite List long ago. The reason why he has not been found now is probably because he has fallen into some difficult environment. With the capabilities of the Red Flame Army, I believe we will find him eventually." Fang Xueying spoke slowly with a calm expression.

　　"I hope so." Nodding, Lin Juntian could only agree with Fang Xueying's statement. No matter what, he still didn't want anything to happen to Zhou Yun.

　　Just as the room fell into silence, a dark shadow that seemed to be there and not there suddenly appeared at the door of the room.

　　"Prince, the latest news from the Shenwei training camp." The figure standing there seemed to be an illusory existence. Only a rough outline could be seen. He placed a letter at the door and then quickly retreated.

　　He has delivered letters like this many times over the past few hours.

　　After receiving the latest news, Lin Juntian immediately stood up and quickly took the letter back from the door. As he walked, Lin Juntian couldn't help but open the letter.

　　As soon as he saw the news on the letter, Lin Juntian clapped his hands and said, "Great, Zhou Yun has been found. He was seriously injured, but his life is not in danger."

　　"That's good now. We can wake Junyao up. Using my power to suppress her and prevent her from waking up will cause great harm to her body." Fang Xueying showed a happy smile on her face, and then prepared to wake up Lin Junyao.

　　Just as she was about to move, a hand suddenly stopped her, "Wait."

　　"Well, Brother Tian, ​​what's wrong?" The person who stopped her was Lin Juntian. After being stopped for a while, Fang Xueying immediately asked curiously.

　　Looking at the contents of the letter, the anger on Lin Juntian's face gradually emerged. He handed the letter to Fang Xueyin and said angrily, "Read it yourself."

　　After receiving the letter, Fang Xueyin immediately read the entire content. After Zhou Yun was rescued, the Third Princess and Princess Yuling sent him back to their own small building. After confirming that he was safe, the Third Princess left first, but Princess Yuling stayed with Zhou Yun. As soon as Fang Xueyin saw the description in the letter, she immediately understood.

　　"Brother Tian, ​​this must not be Zhou Yun's wish. Now that he is in a coma, there is no way for him to let Li Xiaoxiao leave. Li Xiaoxiao had stayed in his small building before, but Zhou Yun sat in the open space in front of the small building all night, which shows that he is still very self-sufficient. This time, I'm afraid that he saved Princess Yuling, and Princess Yuling was moved, so she wanted to stay and take care of him." Fang Xueying persuaded after putting down the letter in her hand.

　　Although she felt sorry for Lin Junyao, she was not as distressed as Lin Juntian, who felt so sorry for his own sister that he had become a little confused.

　　Sure enough, after listening to Fang Xueyin's advice, Lin Juntian's face looked slightly better, but the worry on his face still existed. "I'm not worried about Zhou Yun, I'm just afraid that Princess Yuling will follow him closely. Zhou Yun is fierce and decisive in dealing with other things, but I'm really afraid that he won't handle this matter well and hurt Jun Yao."

　　After hearing what Lin Juntian said, Fang Xueyin smiled and said, "That won't be a problem. Jun Yao doesn't have many close friends in the capital. She actually has a very good relationship with Yu Ling. It's just that Princess Yu Ling doesn't know that Zhou Yun is Jun Yao's lover, so there is such a misunderstanding. But it doesn't matter."

　　"In the future, if Zhou Yun can really be on par with Jun Yao in status, or even higher, she will not have only Jun Yao as her wife. Why should you worry?"

　　Commoners in the Tianyuan Dynasty could generally only have one wife, but as long as they entered the lower three ranks of nobility, they could have two concubines. Nobles of the middle three ranks could have two wives of equal status, and three concubines, who would all be the original wives recognized by the dynasty, and two of the wives would even have their own titles of dual wives.

　　If one reaches the upper third grade, a prince of a county or a prince of a different surname can have three legitimate wives, and can even be granted a first-grade imperial edict.

　　"This kid Zhou Yun has already gotten a good deal by marrying Jun Yao, yet he still dares to hope for a wife on the left and a concubine on the right!?" Although he knew that Fang Xueyin was right, Lin Juntian couldn't help but stare when he heard such words.

　　With a gentle smile on her face, Fang Xueyin looked at Lin Juntian teasingly and said slowly, "Why not? Will you not marry anyone else besides me in the future?"

　　"This..." Lin Juntian didn't know what to do after being teased by Fang Xueyin's words. As the son of a duke, he would not marry only Fang Xueyin as his wife, because this was not only related to his personal wishes, but also to the prosperity of the Lin family.

　　With a sigh, Lin Juntian did not argue with Fang Xueyin. He gently raised his right hand, and a layer of true energy immediately condensed. Gradually, all the contents on the letter that he did not want Lin Junyao to see had all dissipated under Lin Juntian's true energy.

　　Li Xiaoxiao's name did not appear again, and only the news that Zhou Yun was safe remained.

　　"Okay, let's wake up Jun Yao." After handing the processed letter to Fang Xueying, Lin Juntian spoke slowly.

　　The news that Zhou Yun was safe and sound finally reached the Lin family, and Lin Junyao, who was in panic and worry, could finally get a little comfort.

　　After a chaotic night, when the sky gradually brightened, Zhou Yun finally woke up from his sleep. This injury could almost be regarded as the most serious injury Zhou Yun had ever suffered since he came out of Heyang City.

　　He had encountered a shadow in Xiqing Town and had a bloody battle with it, including the battle with Li Fengyun in the reception square of the Shenwei training camp. Although it was difficult, Zhou Yun was able to recover quickly after the battle, and at least he was still able to move freely.

　　But this time, after the battle, Zhou Yun couldn't even move. Zhou Yun had never encountered such a situation before.

　　"Hmm." After waking up from the dream, Zhou Yun immediately felt a sharp pain on his back. The extreme cold, almost burning sensation made Zhou Yun feel extremely painful, as if someone had implanted a piece of extremely cold thousand-year-old black ice into his body. Now Zhou Yun felt that he could hardly tell whether the wound on his back was cold or hot. In short, the pain would come immediately if he moved a little.

　　Even with Zhou Yun's strong will, he didn't dare to resist that kind of pain.

　　After trying, Zhou Yun found that it was impossible for him to get up. As soon as his back showed the slightest sign of being moved, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.

　　"What on earth is that strange bird?" At this moment, Zhou Yun couldn't help but recall the terrifying scene in Examination Room 1. Before this, Zhou Yun had never known that there were such terrifying things in the world, which almost completely overturned Zhou Yun's common sense.

　　As a warrior, and with the ability of spiritual perception, Zhou Yun can usually clearly feel the level of the other party's cultivation when encountering other beings with cultivation. And in Zhou Yun's opinion, the black strange bird has a higher cultivation level than all the warriors he has met in his life so far!

　　The most terrifying thing is that there is not just one such strange bird, but tens of thousands of them filling the black sky.

　　"If things like that flood into the Tianyuan Continent all at once, I'm afraid that within a few days, all the people on the entire continent will be killed." Suddenly, a horrifying thought appeared in Zhou Yun's mind, and he immediately felt cold all over.

　　"Zhou Yun, are you awake?" Just as Zhou Yun was thinking, suddenly, a surprised voice came.

　　"Xiaoxiao? You... why are you here?" At this time, the sky outside was still hazy. Obviously, the sun had not risen yet. It was still midnight. Li Xiaoxiao was actually in her room at this time. This discovery immediately scared Zhou Yun.

　　"You're injured. I'll stay and take care of you." Seeing Zhou Yun wake up and in good spirits, Li Xiaoxiao immediately showed a happy smile on her face, and the whole person felt relaxed. "Zhou Yun, wait a minute. I'll go get you some water."

　　Li Xiaoxiao quickly stood up, turned on the bedside lamp, and quickly got a glass of water. Sitting back on the bed, Li Xiaoxiao carefully supported Zhou Yun's head and fed Zhou Yun a little bit of water.

　　Zhou Yun was indeed thirsty at this time. He followed Li Xiaoxiao's instructions and drank a few sips of water. Zhou Yun immediately felt much more comfortable.

　　But at this time, he still didn't forget the person beside him. Frowning, Zhou Yun asked, "Xiaoxiao, did you stay here last night?"

　　"Yes, I'm worried about you being here alone, so of course I have to stay. You were injured because of me. If I leave you and go back, would I still be a human being?" Putting down the water cup, Li Xiaoxiao sat on the small chair beside Zhou Yun's bed again. Li Xiaoxiao sat here yesterday and crawled on the edge of Zhou Yun's bed all night.

　　But she didn't regret these things at all. Thinking of Zhou Yun standing in front of her without hesitation when facing the black monster bird, Li Xiaoxiao's eyes became red again.

　　"But, won't people gossip about you like this?" Still worried, Zhou Yun looked at Li Xiaoxiao and spoke with a frown.

　　Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao's pretty face immediately flushed. She glanced at Zhou Yun coquettishly and said softly, "Don't be afraid. If they want to talk, then go ahead. Zhou Yun, I've made up my mind. After the Shenwei training camp is over, I will ask my father to let him marry us later. I want to marry you."

　　"Ah!!" Zhou Yun's eyes widened immediately after Li Xiaoxiao said this.

　　Chapter 146 Mysterious Power

　　"Xiaoxiao, I can't promise you." Upon hearing Li Xiaoxiao's words, Zhou Yun was surprised for a moment, then immediately calmed down and spoke seriously.

　　Li Xiaoxiao had never expected that Zhou Yun would reject her so directly. She was about to hold Zhou Yun's hand, but her hand froze in mid-air, with an aggrieved expression on her face.

　　As a girl who just turned sixteen, Zhou Yun was the first person she fell in love with in her life. Originally, Li Xiaoxiao was ready to be with Zhou Yun regardless of the difference in their identities.

　　Moreover, she took the initiative to bring it up, but she didn't expect to be rejected outright by Zhou Yun. One can imagine how aggrieved Li Xiaoxiao felt at this moment.

　　"Why? Do you dislike me?" With a sad face, Li Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Yun and spoke in a low voice, unable to hold back her tears.

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao like this, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel distressed. Li Xiaoxiao was actually a very good girl, with a good family background, good looks, a good heart and temperament, and she had always been very caring towards Zhou Yun. Facing such a girl, it would be a lie if Zhou Yun said that he didn't care at all.

　　But Zhou Yun knew that he already had Lin Junyao, and now he had not yet fulfilled his promise to Lin Junyao, so how could he have the energy to bear another relationship?

　　Li Xiaoxiao's sadness made Zhou Yun feel unbearable. Restraining the severe pain in his back, Zhou Yun held Li Xiaoxiao's hand that was frozen in mid-air and explained, "Xiaoxiao, it's not that there's anything wrong with you, but I already have a fiancée. I promised her that I would marry her within two years, so..."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's explanation, Li Xiaoxiao's face finally looked better. At least, Zhou Yun didn't reject her because he didn't like her. But when she heard that Zhou Yun already had a fiancée, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling miserable and jealous.

　　"Is he an old acquaintance of yours in Tianhe Province?" Li Xiaoxiao asked carefully, suppressing her sadness.

　　Shaking his head, then nodding, Zhou Yun said with a helpless smile, "It is, and it is not."

　　In fact, he and Lin Junyao met in Tianhe Province, but Lin Junyao was not from Tianhe Province, so no matter how this sentence was explained, it didn't seem right.

　　Obviously dissatisfied with Zhou Yun's answer, Li Xiaoxiao shouted, "Who is she? Tell me!"

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's emotional expression, Zhou Yun felt a little guilty. In fact, he had already vaguely felt that Li Xiaoxiao liked him. If he could explain the situation earlier, maybe Li Xiaoxiao would not be like this.

　　But this matter is actually unspeakable. Li Xiaoxiao is of noble status and outstanding appearance. She is one in a hundred among the noble ladies in Beijing. There are so many people pursuing such a girl. Could it be that just because he vaguely felt that the other party had a good impression of him, Zhou Yun said, "Don't like me, I already have a fiancée."

　　This was not polite, and it also seemed too self-indulgent. What if his feeling was just an illusion? Wouldn't that be a joke? So, this matter had been delayed until now.

　　Things have come to this point, and Zhou Yun can only tell Li Xiaoxiao the truth, "You also know that I was recruited by the Lin family. In fact, I entered the Lin family because of her. She is the daughter of the Duke of Pingnan."

　　"Jun Yao!?" As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao's face immediately showed a shocked expression.

　　"Why, do you know Junyao?" Zhou Yun was a little confused when he saw Li Xiaoxiao's reaction. He had communicated with Lin Junyao a lot before, and Lin Junyao would tell Zhou Yun about her life in the capital.

　　Judging from the letter, Lin Junyao never attended any gatherings in the capital, never took the initiative to socialize with others, and even rarely left the house.

　　Lin Junyao has no friends at all in the circle of princes and nobles in the capital.

　　Li Xiaoxiao did not answer Zhou Yun's question. A surprised expression remained on her face. She asked angrily, "You are not lying to me, are you? How could you know Jun Yao? She hardly ever goes out, and she is in Beijing!"

　　At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao was wondering if Zhou Yun was deliberately looking for an excuse to reject her, so the tone of his question was a little unfriendly.

　　Naturally feeling Li Xiaoxiao's emotions, Zhou Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly, then told her what happened between him and Lin Junyao bit by bit.

　　"The story begins five years ago. At that time, I was a servant of the Qin family in Heyang City and had just started practicing martial arts. One day..."

　　Recalling everything from the time he met Lin Junyao until now, Zhou Yun couldn't help but smile happily. Although it was very hard all the way to now, Zhou Yun still firmly believed that meeting Lin Junyao was the greatest luck in his life.

　　Listening to Zhou Yun's story, Li Xiaoxiao gradually became immersed in it. The story of Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao was almost impossible to exist in an environment like the Tianyuan Dynasty, but the two of them actually completed it.

　　Especially after hearing about the efforts Zhou Yun had made to marry Lin Junyao, Li Xiaoxiao's eyes became a little red.

　　In fact, Li Xiaoxiao is Lin Junyao's only best friend in the capital, not for any other reason. The two of them got to know each other entirely because in music, Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Junyao, one playing the zither and the other the flute, complement each other perfectly. In addition, both of them are kind-hearted people, and with their active and quiet nature, they can become good friends.

　　Now after listening to Zhou Yun's story, Li Xiaoxiao also understood why Lin Junyao always stayed at home and never showed up at aristocratic gatherings in the capital.

　　Li Xiaoxiao knew that Lin Junyao was a very smart girl. Although she was never proud of her appearance, she had a clear understanding of her beauty. Reducing her movements meant reducing troubles. She didn't want to attract too many people's attention, so she bought enough time for Zhou Yun to get close to her little by little.

　　Finally, Zhou Yun finished telling Lin Junyao the promise he made before coming to the Shenwei training camp this time, and the whole story was finished.

　　At some point, Li Xiaoxiao, who was listening quietly at the side, had silently shed many tears.

　　"I didn't expect that you two have such a touching story." After wiping her eyes, the sad expression on Li Xiaoxiao's face finally disappeared.

　　Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao was finally no longer sad, Zhou Yun felt relieved. At least, this was a big problem that had been resolved.

　　"Xiaoxiao, I'm glad you understand. Thank you." With a slight smile, Zhou Yun spoke sincerely to Li Xiaoxiao.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao's expression changed immediately. With a sly smile at Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao said, "Why are you thanking me? I didn't say I was giving up. Zhou Yun, I will follow you for the rest of my life. You should work hard. If you can be made a marquis in the future, you can marry two wives. This way, I can always be with sister Jun Yao, and that would be perfect."

　　"Uh..." Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's sudden change, Zhou Yun's face was immediately filled with surprise.

　　Originally Zhou Yun thought that after explaining the situation to Li Xiaoxiao, she would definitely give up this idea, but unexpectedly, Li Xiaoxiao actually came up with an even bolder idea!

　　Although Zhou Yun never belittled himself, he was only the descendant of a foreign servant after all. It was already very high for him to be with a noble lady like Lin Junyao. If he was also with the daughter of a prince, it would be really outrageous. Even though Zhou Yun had a good impression of Li Xiaoxiao, he never thought about these things.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun was already satisfied with Lin Junyao.

　　"Why are you so surprised? Who told you to tell me these things now?" Glancing at Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao said arrogantly, "Anyway, I took care of you here all night yesterday. Everyone outside saw it. I can't explain it. If you don't marry me, you're a heartless man."

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun was completely speechless. He didn't know whether it was luck or disaster to meet Li Xiaoxiao in the Shenwei training camp.

　　Not wanting to discuss this topic with Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun felt the injuries on his body and spoke slowly, "Let's talk about these things later. After the Shenwei training camp is over, I will go to see Jun Yao and listen to her opinions. Now I have to try to heal my injuries first. You didn't get a good rest last night, so go back early."

　　Knowing that Zhou Yun had been shocked enough today, Li Xiaoxiao stopped pestering him, "Okay, I'll go back first. I'll come to see you with Sister Wanqiu in the morning."

　　Leaving behind a word, Li Xiaoxiao turned and ran towards the bedroom door. When she reached the door, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly turned around and made a cute face at Zhou Yun, "Zhou Yun, sister Jun Yao will definitely not hinder us. She and I are best friends."

　　Watching Li Xiaoxiao leave happily, Zhou Yun felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

　　But after thinking about it carefully, Zhou Yun also admitted that Li Xiaoxiao did have some place in his heart, although it was far inferior to Lin Junyao. But if he said that Li Xiaoxiao was a completely irrelevant person to him, then Zhou Yun was indeed deceiving himself.

　　"In any case, let's make a decision after meeting Jun Yao." Zhou Yun knew that this period of time was extremely critical for him and it was definitely not the time to be sentimental.

　　Zhou Yun was not disturbed by Li Xiaoxiao's words. After calming down, he immediately devoted himself to recovering from his injuries.

　　Closing his eyes, Zhou Yun sensed the wound on his back. Suddenly, the outline of the wound appeared in Zhou Yun's mind.

　　This was a wound like that left by a hammer. The length of the wound was about 30 centimeters and the width was 10 centimeters. Moreover, the wound was gradually sinking, and the deepest part of the depression even reached 7 or 8 centimeters.

　　If Zhou Yun's physical fitness was not good, this blow would probably have shattered his internal organs.

　　The skin at the wound was hard, as if it had been frozen by ten thousand years of black ice. It hurt when touched, and he could hardly move. Holding his breath and concentrating, Zhou Yun began to try to mobilize the true energy in his body to repair the wound.

　　But for some unknown reason, when the true energy in Zhou Yun's body came into contact with the wound, it was blocked by an invisible force and could not get close at all.

　　Feeling the condition of the wound, Zhou Yun frowned tightly.

　　"What kind of power is this? It's really weird." It seems that it is impossible to use true power to repair the wound, because the power that hurt Zhou Yun is completely different from the true power of a warrior.

　　Thinking back to the strange appearance of the black bird, Zhou Yun's heart became conflicted.

　　Suddenly, a strange feeling entered Zhou Yun's mind. Zhou Yun suddenly discovered that the mysterious vein that was opened when he treated Zhou Xue for the poison of the Soul-Locking Incense, that mysterious vein that was originally empty, now had a tiny power flowing slowly!

　　"When did this power appear?" Feeling that power, Zhou Yun immediately opened his mouth in surprise.

　　Chapter 147: No More Words

　　Feeling the power slowly flowing in that mysterious vein, Zhou Yun couldn't help but open his mouth in astonishment. After that mysterious vein was opened, it was always empty, with nothing inside.

　　Zhou Yun didn't even know what kind of power was operating in this vein. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get any clue.

　　But now, power suddenly began to flow in this mysterious vein. How could Zhou Yun not be shocked?

　　"No wonder my spiritual perception can now control such a large range." After being shocked, Zhou Yun's face showed an expression of realization.

　　After waking up from the cave in the pool, Zhou Yun briefly released his spiritual sense to sense the surrounding environment. Unexpectedly, after that sense, Zhou Yun suddenly found that the control range of his spiritual sense had expanded more than ten times. Now it seems that this should be caused by the power running in the mysterious veins.

　　At the beginning, Zhou Yun was able to have the ability of spiritual perception because of the opening of this mysterious vein. And now, the range of spiritual perception has expanded by more than ten times, probably because of the power injected into this vein.

　　But where does this power come from?

　　Everything about this vein was too weird. Its purpose was unknown, how to cultivate it was unknown, and even why some extra power appeared out of nowhere, Zhou Yun didn't know.

　　"Never mind, at least this is a good thing. Now, let me use the power in the mysterious veins to try to heal the wounds on my body." After thinking for a long time without finding any clues, Zhou Yun simply stopped thinking about it.

　　After all, a wider range of spiritual perception is also a good thing. And the wound on the back is obviously impossible to heal with the warrior's true power, so it would be nice to try using this newly added mysterious vein.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately immersed himself in it, slowly mobilizing the newly added mysterious power in that mysterious vein to attack the wound on his back.

　　Click, click…

　　As soon as the mysterious power came into contact with the wound on Zhou Yun's back, a series of crackling sounds, as if ice was breaking, were heard immediately. Following this sound, Zhou Yun immediately felt that the wound began to slowly melt away.

　　"It works!" With joy in his eyes, Zhou Yun immediately immersed himself in it and began to use the power in the mysterious veins to heal the wound on his back.

　　The wound seemed like some kind of energy that stubbornly remained in Zhou Yun's body. It was gradually loosened by the mysterious airflow force in Zhou Yun's body.

　　Zhou Yun discovered that using this mysterious power to heal the wound on his back was more like swallowing than healing and neutralizing it.

　　Because, during the process of practicing Qigong, Zhou Yun clearly felt that after the mysterious power in his body came into contact with the wound on his back, it was obviously absorbing and devouring some substance present in the wound. After those substances stubbornly lurking in the wound were devoured and absorbed by this mysterious power, the wound in that area would be relieved. And the most important thing is that after absorbing the substances stubbornly adhering to the wound, the mysterious power in Zhou Yun's body will be faintly enhanced.

　　Having already experienced the benefits of the enhanced power in this mysterious vein, Zhou Yun immediately immersed himself in the process of recovering from his injuries and gradually became involved.

　　The wound heals very slowly. The mysterious power in Zhou Yun's body is not strong, and the wound surface is very large. At this rate, Zhou Yun estimates that it will take at least two months for the wound on his back to heal completely.

　　Although he was very anxious about the slow treatment process, Zhou Yun also knew that this could not be forced and he could only proceed with the treatment step by step.

　　Lying on the bed, Zhou Yun began to receive treatment little by little, and gradually, the sky became completely bright.

　　Zhou Yun stopped the treatment immediately when he felt two figures approaching his building.

　　Soon, Li Wanqiu and Li Xiaoxiao appeared in front of Zhou Yun's door.

　　"Zhou Yun, are you thirsty? Do you want some water? I'll get it for you." As soon as she entered Zhou Yun's room, Li Xiaoxiao ran up and began to care about Zhou Yun.

　　Li Xiaoxiao didn't say much, but just stood silently in front of Zhou Yun's bed. After Li Xiaoxiao fed Zhou Yun some water, Li Wanqiu came up.

　　"How do you feel?" Li Wanqiu asked gently while looking at Zhou Yun lying on the bed. Li Wanqiu also suffered a lot of trauma this time, but the injury was not as serious as Zhou Yun's. After a night of recovery, the situation has improved a lot.

　　"Thank you for your concern, Princess Three. I'm much better now." Although he couldn't get up, Zhou Yun still nodded to Li Wanqiu and responded.

　　Compared to yesterday, Zhou Yun's complexion was indeed much better at this moment. Li Wanqiu also nodded, and then, with a sincere look on her face, Li Wanqiu said, "Zhou Yun, Xiaoxiao told me about this matter yesterday. Thank you for saving her. I will remember this kindness in my heart."

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Zhou Yun immediately showed a faint smile on his face, "Third Princess, you don't have to say that. Xiaoxiao has also been very kind to me. This is what I should do, and I don't ask for anything in return."

　　"Yes, I am Zhou Yun's future wife. Why should I repay him for saving me? Right, Zhou Yun?" As soon as the two finished their conversation, Li Xiaoxiao on the side spoke up.

　　After a night, Li Xiaoxiao had figured out how to deal with the relationship between her and Zhou Yun. She and Jun Yao were close friends, so she naturally wouldn't just snatch Zhou Yun away from her. But if Zhou Yun could really get a higher position in the dynasty in the future and marry Jun Yao, then marrying her back wouldn't be a problem.

　　There were almost no earls in the Tianyuan Dynasty who had only one wife. Her father, Prince Jin, had a princess and three wives. Therefore, Li Xiaoxiao had no objection to accompanying Zhou Yun with Lin Junyao. Instead, she felt it was natural.

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao being so straightforward and unrestrained, Li Wanqiu and Zhou Yun shook their heads helplessly.

　　"Zhou Yun, give me your ring that stores the beast's Yuandan. I will hand it in for you when the results are counted tomorrow. Although you can't move, the results that should be counted still have to be counted." Suddenly, remembering this key thing, Li Xiaoxiao immediately spoke to Zhou Yun.

　　This was his original plan in mind. After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Zhou Yun turned his hand slightly, took out the ring that stored the beast's Yuandan, and handed it to Li Xiaoxiao.

　　After taking Zhou Yun's ring, Li Xiaoxiao's pretty face once again showed a bright smile, and said to Zhou Yun, "Zhou Yun, there is absolutely no problem for you to be in the top three this time. As for what kind of treasure to choose to help you make the best breakthrough, Sister Wanqiu will specially help you look at it when she chooses the treasure. Sister Wanqiu knows a lot about these things. With her guidance, you can definitely choose the best thing."

　　After listening to Li Xiaoxiao's words, Zhou Yun thought about it for a moment and indeed felt that this was the best arrangement for him. Born in a servant's family, Zhou Yun had actually never seen any treasures. When asked to choose a treasure that suits him and can help him break through to the level of practicing internal organs and exchanging blood, Zhou Yun really didn't know what to choose.

　　Now, with Li Wanqiu helping me choose, that couldn’t be better.

　　"In that case, thank you very much, Third Princess." Zhou Yun nodded to Li Wanqiu and expressed his gratitude.

　　With a faint smile on his face, Li Wanqiu shook his head and changed the subject.

　　"Zhou Yun, let me take a look at your injuries." Without saying thank you or not, Li Wanqiu stood up and sat beside Zhou Yun's bed. She stretched out her delicate hand, wanting to feel Zhou Yun's pulse.

　　Knowing that Li Wanqiu had a high level of cultivation, Zhou Yun didn't say much and just stretched out his hand.

　　Holding Zhou Yun's wrist, Li Wanqiu concentrated and sensed it slightly, and immediately a look of surprise appeared on his face.

　　"Sister Wanqiu, what's wrong? Is Zhou Yun's injury serious?" Seeing Li Wanqiu's expression, Li Xiaoxiao beside her immediately became anxious.

　　Releasing his hand, Li Wanqiu looked at Zhou Yun again with some doubt, and then slowly said, "No, Zhou Yun's injuries are not serious at all, but have recovered a little. Although it's only a little bit, it's really strange. How can you heal such an injury by yourself? That's the void magic energy of the three-eyed magic eagle. You only have the cultivation of tendon training. It's impossible for you to have the power of the world in your body. How can you recover by yourself?"

　　"Sister Wanqiu, what are you talking about? What void demonic energy, what world power?" Listening to Li Wanqiu's mumbling, Li Xiaoxiao spoke with some confusion.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun was completely attracted by Li Wanqiu's words.

　　The power of the world! Could this be the name of the mysterious power running in that mysterious vein? Could it be that Li Wanqiu knew what that power was?

　　Just as he was about to ask more questions, before Zhou Yun could open his mouth, a shadow flashed by, and a fiery red figure appeared at the door of Zhou Yun's room.

　　"Third Princess, there are some things that should not be said." A steady voice came over and immediately attracted the attention of Zhou Yun and others.

　　When he looked again, Zhou Yun suddenly found that General Yan Yin, who was in charge of this Shenwei training camp, had appeared in front of his bedroom door at some point, and Zhou Yun didn't sense it at all!

　　After hearing Yan Yin's words, Li Wanqiu's face immediately showed a complicated look, while Li Xiaoxiao on the side was still confused.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun seemed to have vaguely grasped something. The three-eyed demon eagle and the power of the world, these things seemed to be related to the Tianyuan Dynasty and even some deep secrets of the Tianyuan Continent. These secrets were obviously not something that someone of his status should know.

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun immediately understood what he should do, that is, keep silent, say less and make fewer mistakes, and don't ask too many questions. He was originally planning to ask Li Wanqiu about the three-eyed magic eagle and the power of the world, but at this time, Zhou Yun had decisively given up this idea. Sometimes, the more you know, the more dangerous it is, especially when your power is not strong enough. Zhou Yun still understands this principle.

　　Without paying attention to the expressions of Zhou Yun and the other two, Yan Yin still stood in his original position with a calm expression.

　　"Princess, Zhou Yun, I am here to inform you that everything you saw in Examination Room No. 1 this time must not be disclosed to anyone. If possible, it is best to forget these things. Otherwise, the consequences are not something you can bear. Third Princess, you should also be careful with your words and actions and never make mistakes again." Looking at the three of them, Yan Yin spoke slowly.

　　Yan Yin's words carried an irresistible majesty. After hearing this, even Li Xiaoxiao nodded unconsciously, and Zhou Yun naturally nodded in agreement. Li Wanqiu's face was solemn, but he didn't say much, and it was obvious that he had already approved of Yan Yin's statement.

　　"Okay, I've delivered the message. In addition, General Hu Pen will be in charge of the Shenwei Training Camp from now on. Yan Yin will take his leave." Seeing the expressions of the three people, Yan Yin nodded with satisfaction. After leaving a word, Yan Yin's figure immediately disappeared in Zhou Yun's room.

　　Chapter 148 Imperial Edict

　　Seeing Yan Yin's back disappearing at the door, Li Xiaoxiao immediately said in astonishment, "Sister Wanqiu, General Yan Yin is no longer in charge of the Shenwei Training Camp?"

　　Yan Yin has been in charge of this group of students since they entered the Shenwei Training Camp. Although Li Xiaoxiao did not have any good feelings towards Yan Yin, she knew that the Shenwei Training Camp had never had a replacement of the general since its inception.

　　With a calm expression, Li Wanqiu said calmly, "Such a big mess happened in Examination Room No. 1, and the real reason cannot be revealed. Since it was a riot by the beasts, someone needs to take responsibility."

　　As soon as Li Wanqiu finished speaking, Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao immediately understood what she meant. The void crack, including the three-eyed demon eagle, these things are the top secrets of the entire dynasty, even most of the princes in the dynasty do not know these news.

　　Now, such a big thing has happened in the training camp, with more than twenty students dying at once. Even General Shenwei must give everyone an explanation. In this case, Yan Yin, the general in charge of the training camp, is the most suitable scapegoat.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao understood, Li Wanqiu spoke again slowly, "Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun, you must remember what General Yan Yin said. Everything you saw in Examination Room No. 1 must not be spread to others. This matter is extremely important. If you have the ability to reach that level in the future, you will naturally know these things. If you cannot reach that level, then it is better for you not to know these things."

　　In fact, Li Wanqiu's words were more for Zhou Yun to hear. Li Xiaoxiao would definitely not be exposed to the top-level affairs of the dynasty, and she herself would not be interested in such things.

　　Naturally understanding what Li Wanqiu meant, Zhou Yun nodded silently.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun understood, Li Wanqiu no longer brought up the topic, "Zhou Yun, can you heal your injuries by yourself?" Although extremely surprised, Li Wanqiu still acquiesced that Zhou Yun had the ability to heal the void evil energy.

　　"Yes, I can heal this wound slowly by myself. It will take about two months to fully recover." Zhou Yun said, nodding.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Wanqiu showed a thoughtful look on his face and said, "If that's the case, you don't have to rush to break through. Recover from your injuries while refining your true strength. Although your true strength is already very good, before breaking into the internal organs and exchanging blood, the higher the true strength, the greater the benefits you will get after the advancement of your cultivation. I can feel that your true strength still has a lot of room for improvement."

　　Zhou Yun himself also felt this. Although his true strength was already stronger than almost all the warriors in the tendon training stage, and even the warriors who practiced organ blood transfusion, Zhou Yun's true strength was not inferior to them, but now Zhou Yun still felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement in the strength of his true strength.

　　"Thank you for your advice, Third Princess. Zhou Yun has made note of it." Nodding, Zhou Yun spoke sincerely and politely.

　　"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. I'll go back first. Tomorrow, when the monthly results are counted, Xiaoxiao will help you hand in the beast essence pills." Li Wanqiu stood up and gave instructions to Zhou Yun, then turned his gaze to Li Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, if possible, you should also pay attention to your cultivation, and don't put all your thoughts here. Zhou Yun often treats injuries alone and cannot be disturbed. You can just come over once a day."

　　With a look of grievance on her face, Li Xiaoxiao pouted and said, "I know, Sister Wanqiu."

　　"Well, I'll go back first. If you need anything, Xiaoxiao can come to me. Just rest assured." After greeting Zhou Yun, Li Wanqiu turned around and left Zhou Yun's room slowly.

　　Watching Li Wanqiu leave, Li Xiaoxiao still pouted, looking a little unhappy.

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's expression, Zhou Yun also smiled. "Xiaoxiao, you should listen more to the Third Princess. When you come to the Shenwei Training Camp, you still have to do some serious work. You should also spend more time practicing."

　　Li Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Zhou Yun in grievance and said angrily, "But I just want to accompany you. However, this seems to really disturb your recovery from the injury."

　　Li Xiaoxiao is now facing the same dilemma. She wants to spend more time with Zhou Yun, but she also knows that Zhou Yun needs a quiet environment. She is torn between two options.

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun said, "You can stay here longer if you want, but I may not have time to chat with you this time. My injuries are quite serious this time. If I devote myself to repairing them, I may not wake up for more than ten days at a time."

　　Upon hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately lit up, "It's okay, I won't disturb you, you practice, I'll practice next to you, it's okay."

　　It seems that Li Xiaoxiao really didn't think much, she just wanted to be with him more. Li Xiaoxiao, a girl, has already said this, what else can Zhou Yun care about?

　　Zhou Yun gave Li Xiaoxiao a gentle smile, closed his eyes, and once again devoted himself to repairing his injuries.

　　This time, Zhou Yun did not just repair his body. After holding his breath and concentrating, Zhou Yun did not forget to hold his boundary crystal in his hand. In this way, in the inky space of the boundary crystal, Zhou Yun's condensed body practiced the Universal Thunder Pillar to enhance the strength of his true power. While in the living area of ​​the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun's main body used that mysterious power to continuously repair the injuries caused by the attack of the Three-Eyed Demon Eagle.

　　On both lines, Zhou Yun began to advance rapidly.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun closing his eyes, Li Xiaoxiao showed a happy smile on her face. She took a cushion and sat cross-legged beside Zhou Yun's bed, assuming a meditation posture and began to practice.

　　In the Shenwei training camp, this crisis has finally passed, and in the eastern district of Shangjing City, in the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan, Lin Junyao has also come out of her grief.

　　After receiving the news that Zhou Yun was fine, Lin Junyao finally felt relieved.

　　"Jun Yao, drink some porridge. You shouldn't walk around these days, so just recuperate here." In the wing room of Lin Juntian's courtyard, Fang Xueying had already brought the cooked porridge over. She sat beside the bed, looking at Lin Junyao, who was still a little haggard lying on the bed, and spoke softly.

　　Nodding, Lin Junyao sat up with the help of Fang Xueying, and began to drink in small sips from the small spoon in Fang Xueying's hand.

　　After drinking half a bowl of porridge, Lin Junyao's face became a little rosy.

　　"Sister-in-law, is there any new news from the Shenwei training camp? Is Zhou Yun really okay?" Lin Junyao asked again immediately after finishing her porridge. The news she received yesterday was that Zhou Yun had been found and was not in danger of death, but Lin Junyao still couldn't help but worry because she didn't know how serious Zhou Yun's injury was.

　　Nodding, Fang Xueyin said gently, "It's okay. The news has come today. Zhou Yun looks much better after a night's rest. The third princess also went to visit him. Moreover, the time for this assessment has not been missed. Zhou Yun can still participate in the assessment. This time, he may be able to enter the top three. It must be said that Zhou Yun's perseverance is really tenacious. It is indeed surprising enough to have such a result."

　　Upon hearing Fang Xueyin's words, Lin Junyao's face immediately revealed a hint of sweetness and pride, "He is the best, I have always known that."

　　Seeing that the worry on Lin Junyao's face had lessened a lot, Fang Xueying immediately struck while the iron was hot, "The letter also said that Zhou Yun's injuries will be fully recovered in half a month. Now it depends on you. Don't be so impulsive in the future. You scared me and your brother yesterday." In order not to let Lin Junyao worry, Fang Xueying deliberately shortened the time it would take for Zhou Yun to recover, and this indeed had a very good effect.

　　With her head slightly lowered, Lin Junyao recalled how she looked when she saw the letter yesterday, and a trace of apology immediately appeared on her pretty face. Yesterday, she had made her brother and sister-in-law suffer a lot. Until now, Fang Xueying had not had much rest and had been guarding her all the time.

　　"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. I lost my temper yesterday and caused you trouble." Lin Junyao spoke softly with her eyes lowered.

　　"It's okay. You are the apple of our Lin family's eye. We are doing all this willingly. But you have to learn to be calmer in the future and believe in Zhou Yun. He won't be defeated so easily. Since you have chosen him, there will be many such things in the future. You have to get used to facing them." Holding Lin Junyao's hand, Fang Xueying spoke softly.

　　Only Fang Xueying could teach her these things. Lin Junyao had been without a mother to take care of her since she was young. Now, Fang Xueying could only try her best to teach her more.

　　With a thoughtful look on her pretty face, Lin Junyao nodded.

　　That was indeed the case. Lin Junyao had always believed in Zhou Yun. She knew that Zhou Yun would not be easily defeated. In this situation, she had to become more calm. Otherwise, not only would she not be able to help Zhou Yun, but she would cause more trouble instead.

　　Just as the two were chatting in the room, suddenly, an extremely powerful aura came from afar. Fang Xueying's face changed immediately when she felt the aura for the first time.

　　"Lady Pingnan, please accept the order!" Seeing the change in Fang Xueying's expression, before Lin Junyao could ask any questions, a sharp voice came from afar. Hearing this voice, Lin Junyao immediately showed a look of confusion on her face.

　　"Why would the palace give me an order?" Lin Junyao frowned and asked in confusion.

　　Shaking her head, Fang Xueyin said, "Forget about that for now, just take over the imperial edict. Don't be disrespectful."

　　Although she didn't know why Lin Junyao suddenly received the imperial edict, Fang Xueyin still spoke quickly.

　　Hearing Fang Xueying's words, Lin Junyao immediately nodded, stood up with some difficulty, and walked out of the hut.

　　At this time, a pair of people wearing red palace costumes also walked into the courtyard where Lin Juntian lived.

　　Seeing Lin Junyao and Fang Xueyin standing at the door, the leading old eunuch immediately raised the silk scroll in his hand and said, "Daughter of the Duke of Pingnan, please accept the decree!"

　　With Fang Xueyin's support, Lin Junyao knelt down and said respectfully, "Your servant Lin Junyao obeys your command."

　　The old eunuch nodded, and with a tremor of his hand, the silk roll immediately unfolded.

　　"The Empress has decreed that the noble lady of the Duke of Pingnan is very talented and has outstanding musical skills. I am very pleased with her. I have specially granted her the title of Princess Yuyao, a higher rank. I have also ordered Princess Yuyao to come to the palace at noon three days later to play the piano and discuss Taoism with me, to comfort the loneliness in the palace. This is granted by the Emperor."

　　As the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict in his hand, Lin Junyao's expression immediately changed slightly, but she still bowed respectfully and received it with both hands.

　　"Your humble servant Yuyao accepts your order and expresses her gratitude."

　　Chapter 149 Entering the Palace

　　Another day passed quietly. Lin Junyao, who was still recuperating, had gone to bed early. In the main house of Lin Juntian's courtyard in the Mansion of Duke Pingnan, two people still couldn't fall asleep.

　　Sitting in front of the desk, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin looked at the imperial edict in front of them, with a hint of sadness on their faces.

　　"During the Lanting event, Jun Yao's performance was not that good, and she even left early. This was very disrespectful. I don't know why the Queen did this." With a hint of gloom in his eyes, Lin Juntian spoke slowly.

　　In fact, he had already thought of a not-so-good possibility.

　　"Jun Yao is not very happy now, because after being conferred the title of princess, the gap in status between her and Zhou Yun has widened again. After receiving the imperial edict, Jun Yao has been unhappy." Shaking her head, Fang Xueyin on the side also spoke.

　　Knowing that Lin Junyao had received the imperial edict at home and was canonized as a princess by the Queen, Lin Juntian immediately rushed back from the Ministry of Revenue because he had already sensed that this matter was not simple.

　　"What the Queen did in this matter is really unreasonable. If it was just because she liked Jun Yao's talent in music and wanted to invite Jun Yao to the palace often to appreciate music together, there was no need to confer the title of a princess on her." Although Lin Junyao's canonization was an honorable thing for the Lin family, it did seem a bit strange to Lin Juntian.

　　From Lin Juntian's perspective, there seems to be some conspiracy involved in this matter.

　　Sitting next to Lin Juntian, Fang Xueyin pondered silently for a moment before speaking, "Brother Tian, ​​do you think that the relationship between Zhou Yun and Jun Yao has been exposed? Has the Queen known about this?"

　　As soon as Fang Xueyin finished speaking, a look of surprise flashed across Lin Juntian's eyes. "If that's the case, then the Queen's actions can be explained. However, would the royal family really do such a thing?"

　　Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin are naturally not as simple as Lin Junyao. They are well aware of the current situation of the three princes fighting for the throne. Crown Prince Li Xian is the biological son of the Queen, so Queen Xiao will naturally support the crown prince. But now, Zhou Yun has offended the crown prince and the third prince in the Shenwei training camp, and can only choose the eighth prince to rely on in the future. If Zhou Yun has a high status in the Lin family and is Lin Junyao's sweetheart, then in the future, the Lin and Fang families may be led by Zhou Yun to lean on the eighth prince.

　　This is definitely a situation that the Queen does not want to see.

　　Although the Lin family has a very high status, in Shangjing City, most of the power is still in the hands of the royal family. If the Queen wants to check the communication records of the Lin family in the sound transmission tower, it is not difficult to find the relationship between Lin Junyao and Zhou Yun.

　　But if the royal family really did this, it would be too disheartening for these princes and ministers. After all, everyone has some secrets of their own and does not want to be monitored all the time.

　　"Brother Tian, ​​if Jun Yao enters the palace and is forced by the Queen, what should we do?" Looking at Lin Jun Tian, ​​Fang Xue Yin said with some worry. If the relationship between Lin Jun Yao and Zhou Yun is exposed as she guessed, then it is almost obvious what the Queen will do.

　　Under such circumstances, Lin Junyao would inevitably face an extremely difficult situation when entering the palace.

　　With a gloomy look in his eyes, Lin Juntian spoke slowly, "Don't worry, I will inform my father about this matter and ask him to make the decision."

　　Although the problem was difficult to solve, Lin Juntian was still at peace, because the pillar of the Lin family, old man Lin Hailong, was still alive. As long as Lin Hailong was still there, the Lin family was not afraid of any threats.

　　After hearing Lin Juntian's words, Fang Xueyin also showed a smile on her face, "If the old Duke can escort Jun Yao, then there will be no risk."

　　Three days passed in a flash. In the Shenwei training camp, the results of the first phase of assessment have been announced, and the items for the second phase of assessment have also been determined.

　　The second phase of the assessment lasted for two months. Compared with the assessment items in the first phase, the items in the second phase were much milder.

　　They no longer go out for training, but are tested in the actual combat test tower in the living area of ​​the Shenwei training camp, and are ranked according to their final combat effectiveness.

　　Originally, the test of the second phase of the Shenwei Training Camp was not like this, but after the horrific battle in Examination Room No. 1, all the students basically became frightened birds. Even those students who did not die were extremely frightened and it was impossible for them to go out for field assessments in a short period of time.

　　General Hu Pen, who had just taken over the Shenwei Training Camp, immediately changed the assessment items for the second phase, replacing the field assessment with a two-month internal training and cultivation test, thus buying a buffer period for all the students.

　　All previous Shenwei training camps had basically entered a stage of fierce competition at this time, but this time, due to the appearance of a killer like Zhou Yun in the Shenwei training camp, and the big chaos in the No. 1 examination room, the atmosphere of the entire training camp became a little depressed, and all the students were in danger and no longer easily started any fights.

　　After a month of hard work, Zhou Yun finally ranked third among all the students with 346,000 ferocious beast points, and got the top three as he wished. Not only did he get 150 hours of use of the ancient training chamber, but he also got a chance to choose a secret treasure from the treasury of the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　Zhou Yun made it into the top three in one fell swoop, which was the only ripple in the peaceful Shenwei training camp. However, this was not completely unreasonable. After all, Zhou Yun's ranking was already fourth in the initial test.

　　It was only natural for him to go one step further this time. Now, the forces of the Third Prince in the Shenwei Training Camp had all been wiped out, and the rest of the forces of the Crown Prince, except for Li Fengyun, were also wiped out in the bloodbath in the No. 1 examination room. The atmosphere of opposition in the entire Shenwei Training Camp melted away in an instant.

　　In the silence, Zhou Yun was quietly recovering from his injuries. As he said before, Zhou Yun did not wake up once in three days and was still recovering. Li Xiaoxiao was not too anxious and quietly practiced beside Zhou Yun.

　　Because she was staying by Zhou Yun's side, Li Xiaoxiao's mind was relatively calm. This time, the effect of her cultivation was actually much better than usual.

　　At this time, in the Mansion of Duke Pingnan in the capital, Lin Junyao had already come out of the mansion. An exquisite carriage was parked in front of the gate of the Lin family mansion. Today was the day when Lin Junyao was summoned to the palace. Although her body had not fully recovered yet, Lin Junyao still began to prepare early.

　　After all, it's a meeting with the Queen, and we can't be rude in any way.

　　"Jun Yao, relax a little. Just answer whatever the Queen asks you. Don't talk too much and don't be too nervous." Fang Xueying continued to whisper instructions as she sent Lin Jun Yao all the way to the door.

　　"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm fine." Nodding, Lin Junyao smiled.

　　"Come back earlier if possible. Although the Queen lives deep in the harem, she is still very busy with daily palace affairs. Don't disturb her too much." After Fang Xueying gave the instructions, Lin Juntian on the side also spoke slowly.

　　Nodding to her brother, Lin Junyao said, "Well, I understand."

　　After taking two steps forward, Lin Juntian moved closer to Lin Junyao and handed her a small box. "Junyao, wear this jade bracelet on your hand and don't take it off."

　　Looking at Lin Juntian's formal look, although Lin Junyao felt a little strange, she still listened and took it, "Brother, I understand."

　　"Well, go ahead." Lin Juntian said, smiling and nodding.

　　After smiling goodbye to Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin, Lin Junyao turned around and got on the carriage.

　　Sitting in the carriage, Lin Junyao immediately opened the exquisite little box that Lin Juntian gave her and put on the sea blue jade bracelet in the box.

　　At the gate of the Lin Mansion, Fang Xueyin watched the carriage that Lin Junyao was riding slowly leave. She stood with Lin Juntian and asked slowly, "Brother Tian, ​​nothing will happen, right? I always feel that the Queen has some bad intentions in inviting Junyao into the palace this time."

　　Although his expression was a little solemn, Lin Juntian still shook his head, "With the bracelet, nothing will happen."

　　Although she was a little confused about why Lin Juntian said that, Fang Xueyin did not ask any more questions. Seeing Lin Juntian turn around and walk into the mansion, Fang Xueyin glanced at the carriage in the distance, turned around and followed him in.

　　Sitting in the carriage, Lin Junyao moved forward all the way and soon arrived in front of the Imperial City of Shangjing.

　　Shangjing City, as the capital of the Tianyuan Dynasty, covers a very large area, and the imperial city is more like a city within a city. The sense of majesty can be deeply felt as soon as you get close to it.

　　Just to enter the real area of ​​the imperial city, one needs to pass through nine arches that symbolize the emperor's dignity. The higher you go, the higher the foundation of the entire imperial city. After passing through the nine arches, the ground of the imperial city is more than 20 meters higher than that of the capital city.

　　The Shangjing City was originally higher than the ground outside. After the imperial city was raised further, it looked like a city within a city, extremely magnificent and spectacular!

　　The identity of Lin Junyao's carriage had been confirmed when it entered the imperial city. Knowing that she was summoned by the Queen, the military officer at the palace gate led the carriage directly to Kunyuan Palace where the Queen lived.

　　"Princess Yuyao, we have arrived at Kunyuan Palace." The carriage stopped and the military officer in charge of receiving them spoke respectfully to Lin Junyao in the carriage.

　　Three days ago, Lin Junyao had been canonized as a princess, and her status was completely different from before. Even the military officers in the palace would be extremely respectful when facing the princess.

　　The door of the carriage was opened, and Lin Junyao, dressed in light pink clothes, walked out of the carriage. Today, Lin Junyao was still wearing light makeup. Although her complexion was not as good as when she attended the Lanting Festival, she also looked very charming.

　　As soon as she got off the carriage, a palace maid from Kunyuan Palace led Lin Junyao up the stairs to the magnificent palace in front of them.

　　Kunyuan Palace is exquisitely and luxuriously built with a sense of grandeur. It is located on the east side of an even more magnificent and luxurious palace. Although it is not the most magnificent palace in the entire imperial city, it also has a unique flavor.

　　"Princess, please wait a moment here and allow me to go and report." After passing through the long corridor, the palace maid had brought Lin Junyao to the side of the main hall of Kunyuan Palace. Staying beside the main hall, the palace maid spoke respectfully to Lin Junyao.

　　"Thank you." Lin Junyao nodded politely to the palace maid, took a half step back, turned her body sideways, and assumed a waiting posture.

　　Bowing to Lin Junyao again, the palace maid took two steps back and turned to enter Kunyuan Palace.

　　Standing at the side of the main hall entrance, Lin Junyao was waiting quietly. Suddenly, a sharp voice came from the corridor at the far end.

　　"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Upon hearing the voice, Lin Junyao's face immediately showed an expression of surprise.

　　Chapter 150 Forced

　　Following the voice, Lin Junyao immediately saw a young man wearing a yellow three-dragon brocade robe, a soaring crown on his head, and soaring cloud boots on his feet, with an extremely noble look walking towards the main hall of Kunyuan Palace from the central avenue.

　　This young man had a very good appearance, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was extremely handsome. Lin Junyao knew that this man must be the current Crown Prince Li Xian.

　　Although she didn't say anything, Lin Junyao still bent down slightly and saluted respectfully.

　　When passing by Lin Junyao, Li Xian stopped. Looking at the calm and moving Lin Junyao in front of him, Li Xian nodded with satisfaction.

　　"Congratulations, Miss Lin, for being named a princess." With a slight smile, Li Xian gently congratulated Lin Junyao.

　　"Thank you, Your Highness." Her waist and slightly bent knees had straightened, but Lin Junyao did not raise her head completely. Instead, she lowered her head and spoke calmly.

　　Seeing Lin Junyao like this, Li Xian seemed to have thought of something, and a wicked smile appeared on his face. He slowly said, "I have also heard about the performance of the princess at the Lanting event that day. Today, I was invited by my mother to Kunyuan Palace to evaluate the princess's immortal music. I didn't inform the princess in advance, so I hope the princess will not blame me."

　　"Yuyao dare not." Although she was a little nervous, Lin Junyao still tried to calm down and answered politely.

　　This time, Li Xian did not reply. After hearing Lin Junyao's answer, Li Xian laughed heartily and walked into the main hall of Kunyuan Palace.

　　Looking at Li Xian's back, Lin Junyao frowned slightly, and a feeling of foreboding arose in her heart.

　　Li Xian's gaze just now contained a hint of suppressed greed. Although she was simple-minded, Lin Junyao was an unmarried girl after all. She was extremely sensitive to such gazes. In particular, Li Xian's gaze just now gave Lin Junyao a vague sense of familiarity.

　　Lin Junyao was sure that she had never seen Li Xian before, but where did this feeling come from?

　　"Princess, the Queen invites you." Just as Lin Junyao was thinking silently, the palace maid in charge of reporting had already walked out of the main hall and spoke to Lin Junyao.

　　"Thank you." Lin Junyao quickly collected her thoughts, bowed slightly to the palace maid, then followed her into Kunyuan Palace.

　　As soon as she entered Kunyuan Palace, Lin Junyao immediately felt a slightly cold feeling. There were almost no servants in the entire palace, which was very different from the Queen Mother's Palace that Lin Junyao had imagined. Moreover, for some reason, as soon as Lin Junyao entered the palace, she immediately felt as if someone was staring at her, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

　　"Princess, what's wrong?" Feeling that Lin Junyao's steps were a little hesitant, the palace maid who led the way turned around and asked Lin Junyao with concern.

　　Looking up, Lin Junyao immediately found that the maid seemed to have a faint smile on her face, and her heart tightened immediately. But when she looked carefully again, she found that the expression on the maid's face had become very normal, as if the smile that had just caught her eyes was a complete illusion.

　　"Nothing." Smiling and shaking her head, Lin Junyao spoke politely, but the uneasiness in her heart grew.

　　After this little episode, Lin Junyao followed the maid and continued to walk into Kunyuan Palace. Soon, the main hall of Kunyuan Palace appeared in front of Lin Junyao. On the high platform, Queen Xiao, wearing a nine-phoenix rising sun dress, was sitting there quietly, and Crown Prince Li Xian was already sitting on the left side below. There was an empty seat on the right side, with a Yaoqin placed there. Presumably, that was Lin Junyao's seat.

　　Seeing Xiao, Lin Junyao immediately knelt down and saluted, "Your servant Yuyao, pays respects to the Queen."

　　With a slight smile, Xiao raised her hand, "Jun Yao, no need to be polite, please take a seat."

　　"Thank you, Your Majesty." After expressing her gratitude, Lin Junyao stood up and walked to her seat.

　　While walking, Lin Junyao always felt as if something was thorning in her back, because she could always feel that the eyes of Crown Prince Li Xian, who was sitting there, were always on her.

　　Under the etiquette of the Tianyuan Dynasty, staring at a woman like this was actually extremely rude, but Lin Junyao didn't dare to look back casually. After sitting in her seat, Lin Junyao could only lower her head and remain silent to hide her panic.

　　As if she didn't notice Lin Junyao's awkwardness, Xiao smiled and said, "Junyao, I admire your zither skills very much. It's a pity that you had to go back for something important during the Lanting Festival and couldn't enjoy it. That's why I specially invited you to come and play the zither with me. Hearing about Junyao's amazing skills, my son, the Lord of the East Palace, also hopes to hear the celestial music from Junyao's fingers. I hope Junyao won't blame me for coming here presumptuously."

　　"Yuyao dare not." Lin Junyao whispered with her head slightly lowered.

　　Hearing Lin Junyao's answer, a smile appeared on Xiao's face and she waved her hand slightly. Immediately, an old eunuch appeared from behind Xiao and brought a music score to Lin Junyao's desk.

　　Seeing the old eunuch suddenly appear, Lin Junyao was shocked and surprised. When she entered the main hall just now, Lin Junyao clearly remembered that there was no one around the queen. Where did this old eunuch come from?

　　Although she was shocked, Lin Junyao did not show it.

　　"Jun Yao, this is a new song I composed recently, named "Dawn of Spring". After composing it, I just played it a few times when I was free, but I was always dissatisfied. As I get older, I always have some inappropriate understanding of lively things. If Jun Yao doesn't mind that this song is crude, please play it for me." Seeing Lin Jun Yao took the music score, Xiao immediately spoke gently.

　　"It is Yuyao's honor to play the music composed by Your Majesty." Nodding in greeting, Lin Junyao unfolded the music score and began to read it.

　　The fingering of this piece of music "Xiaochun" is not complicated, but the artistic conception contained in it is extremely wonderful. Just by looking at the music score, Lin Junyao was sure in her heart that this is a very good piece of music.

　　After reading the music score three times in a row, Lin Junyao has become completely familiar with the key points of the music score.

　　Taking a deep breath, Lin Junyao stretched out a pair of delicate hands from her sleeves and placed them on the zither in front of her.

　　The next moment, the ethereal sound of a piano was heard, and a refreshing atmosphere suddenly arose in the Kunyuan Palace, which was originally a bit cold and depressing.

　　Lin Junyao's attainments in music were indeed extremely profound. As soon as the piano music came out, Crown Prince Li Xian, who was sitting opposite Lin Junyao, immediately closed his eyes, listened to the exquisite music in his ears, and began to clap his hands.

　　Under the sound of Lin Junyao's piano, the empty hall was faintly filled with the sound of birds and flowers. Lin Junyao's piano skills were superb, and her artistic conception reached the level of harmony between mind and nature. With just the sound of the piano, she created a sense of early spring in the hall.

　　Finally, when the song ended, Xiao and Crown Prince Li Xian couldn't help but applaud.

　　Listening to the applause of the two, Lin Junyao's expression also relaxed a little, "Empress, Your Highness, Yuyao is here to show off."

　　Still smiling, Xiao turned to look at Li Xian and asked, "My prince, what do you think of Jun Yao's song Xiaochun?"

　　"The spring scenery creates a beautiful scene, the clear music moves the clouds and Shao, the stringed instruments convey wonderful words, and the celestial music is free and easy. Princess Yuyao is talented and moving, her piano skills are outstanding, and she has a deep understanding of the three meanings of the music. This palace admires her." With an intoxicated expression on his face, Li Xian commented with emotion.

　　Lin Junyao raised her head with some surprise and looked at Li Xian who had an intoxicated look on his face. She really didn't expect that Li Xian could actually hear the touching part in her song.

　　"My prince, your words reflect my deepest feelings. Jun Yao is so talented and her playing of the zither is rare in the world. I really like her very much. It would be great if Jun Yao could stay in the palace and come to my Kunyuan Palace every day." With a peaceful smile on her face, Xiao looked at Lin Jun Yao and spoke slowly.

　　There was a hint of expectation in these words, and Lin Junyao didn't know how to respond for a moment.

　　After a pause, Lin Junyao slowly spoke, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty likes it, Junyao will come to serve you often in the future."

　　Looking at Lin Junyao, then at Li Xian beside her, Xiao smiled and said, "Even if you come here often, you can't see each other every day. It's not good after all. Junyao, I intend to marry you to the prince. In this way, you can live in the East Palace, and it will be much more convenient for me to stay here in the future. What do you think?"

　　"Ah!" The key point finally came. Lin Junyao had been worried about this since just now. Now, after hearing what the queen said, Lin Junyao finally couldn't help but screamed.

　　"What? Junyao looks down on my prince?" Seeing Lin Junyao's reaction, Xiao spoke immediately with a hint of majesty in her words.

　　"No, it's not." Lin Junyao waved her hands quickly and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, I'm not offending you. Your Majesty is kind and I'm grateful. But, I already have a husband. I'm sorry that I can't accept your kindness."

　　Frowning slightly, Xiao said calmly, "Jun Yao, if the princes and noble ladies are engaged to each other, or betrothed, they will report to Kunyuan Palace. I have never heard that you are married before. If this is the case, what is wrong with me, the mother of the country, arranging a marriage myself?"

　　Xiao's words were well-reasoned, and Lin Junyao couldn't think of how to refute them. In the Tianyuan Dynasty, all noble ladies who wanted to get engaged would first report to Kunyuan Palace, because most of the marriages of noble children were arranged by the queen or the emperor. Even if the two were in love, the elders of the family would meet the queen in advance to ask for an arranged marriage.

　　However, the difference in status between Lin Junyao and Zhou Yun was too great, so naturally they did not go through this procedure.

　　With an anxious look on her face, Lin Junyao was already panicking inside. The Queen personally arranged a marriage, which was almost impossible to refuse. But Lin Junyao still insisted on speaking out, "Your Majesty, Junyao does have a husband candidate, but because he is currently serving the country, we haven't talked about marriage yet. But Junyao will definitely not marry anyone else in her life." She was already extremely panicked in her heart. For a moment, Lin Junyao even forgot to call herself by her title of princess and directly said her own name.

　　Seeing Lin Junyao's expression, Xiao knew that no matter what, Lin Junyao would not agree obediently.

　　A hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, and Xiao spoke slowly, "Private engagements are not counted. Jun Yao, as the current princess, how could you not understand this? My son likes you very much, and I like you very much too. I invited you to the palace today because I want to arrange a marriage between you and my son."

　　He waved his hand slowly, and the old eunuch behind Xiao immediately brought out a roll of yellow silk cloth.

　　"This is the marriage certificate I personally gave you. As long as you, Junyao, sign it, the matter will be settled. As for the young man you originally had your eyes on, I will appoint a county lady or even a princess to him in the future. That's fine."

　　As soon as he finished speaking, the old eunuch immediately walked up to Lin Junyao holding the yellow silk cloth.

　　"My Queen! No, I really can't!" In an instant, Lin Junyao's tears immediately fell like beads from a broken string. She had never expected that entering the palace today would be like this. Regardless of whether she was willing or not, once the marriage certificate was signed, it could not be changed.

　　"Princess, the queen loves you so much, you should not refuse and just sign it obediently." Walking to Lin Junyao's side, the old eunuch grinned sinisterly, grabbed Lin Junyao's wrist, and forced her to write her name on the marriage certificate.

　　"No! No!!!" With tears already covering her pretty face, Lin Junyao cried out in pain, but she couldn't stop her hand at all. She didn't have any cultivation, so how could she resist?

　　Seeing Lin Junyao about to sign her name on the marriage certificate, Empress Xiao and Crown Prince Li Xian looked at each other and smiled.

　　Just as Lin Junyao was about to sign her name, suddenly, the sound of a surging sea wave, accompanied by a dragon's roar, rang out in Kunyuan Palace.

　　"Empress Xiao, you must be responsible for forcing my daughter like this." Amidst the sea of ​​dragon roars, an old but majestic voice suddenly rang out.

　　Upon hearing this voice, Xiao and the prince's faces changed drastically!

　　Chapter 151 Telepathy

　　As soon as the voice fell, the whole hall immediately became quiet. The old eunuch who was forcing Lin Junyao had not figured out what was going on before he was bounced away by a mysterious force. He held his chest with a dark red face, and it was obvious that he had been seriously injured.

　　In the hall, the sound of surging waves was still roaring, but no one appeared around.

　　"Daddy, Daddy! Is that you? Save your daughter, I don't want to sign the marriage certificate, I want to marry Zhou Yun." Lin Junyao felt her body relax and immediately heard the voice. Although she hadn't heard it for more than five years, Lin Junyao still recognized it at once. This was the voice of her father Lin Hailong!

　　As if she had found someone to rely on, Lin Junyao burst into tears and could hardly speak.

　　"Jun Yao, don't be afraid, nothing will happen." Then, that majestic voice appeared again, and along with the voice, the jade bracelet on Lin Jun Yao's hand also emitted a faint light. As the light gradually dissipated, Lin Jun Yao only felt a warmth coming, and couldn't help but feel his brain sinking, and he passed out.

　　Since this majestic voice appeared, Empress Xiao and the Crown Prince remained silent until Lin Junyao fell into a coma, and then Empress Xiao slowly stood up.

　　"Lin Hailong, you trespassed into Kunyuan Palace and disturbed your honor. Do you know your crime?" Looking at the place where Lin Junyao was, although there was nothing there, Empress Xiao still spoke majestically.

　　At this time, Crown Prince Li Xian had already left his seat and stood behind Empress Xiao. The old eunuch in red also returned to Empress Xiao's side with a solemn look on his face.

　　The sound of the waves was still rolling. Amidst the surging waves, the old voice sounded faintly, "Empress Xiao, there is no need for us to talk about this nonsense. I understand your thoughts. But I want to tell you that I will not let my only daughter live an unhappy life. As long as I am still here, I will not allow anyone to bully her or force her."

　　"In addition, if His Royal Highness really wants to ascend to the throne in the future, then he should think about how to work hard. These methods will not work at all in front of His Majesty. Even if all the princes of the dynasty support you, it will be in vain if you do not meet His Majesty's requirements. Since His Majesty can appoint these princes, he can send them all to the graveyard with a wave of his hand. Send Jun Yao back. I don't want you to recruit her into the palace in the future."

　　The majestic voice was accompanied by the roar of a blue dragon, which made people feel excited. As Lin Hailong's voice gradually faded, the sound of the surging sea waves also dissipated little by little, and suddenly, the powerful aura above the entire hall dissipated.

　　Feeling all this, the three of them immediately knew that Lin Hailong had left.

　　"Mother, what should we do?" At this moment, Crown Prince Li Xian's face still looked a little pale. Looking at Empress Xiao, Li Xian spoke in panic.

　　A trace of anger suddenly appeared on her solemn face, and Empress Xiao loudly rebuked Li Xian, "Don't ask any more questions, go back to seclusion, and don't come out until you reach the peak of Yijing Marrow Cleansing!"

　　"Mother!" Li Xian immediately exclaimed in surprise upon hearing what Empress Xiao said.

　　"Go down!" Empress Xiao finally frowned slightly, flicked her sleeves and stopped talking.

　　Seeing that Empress Xiao was getting angry, Li Xian finally dared not say anything. He took a complicated look at Lin Junyao who was unconscious beside him, then he shook his hands fiercely and turned to leave the Qianyuan Palace.

　　After Crown Prince Li Xian left, except for the unconscious Lin Junyao, only Empress Xiao and the old eunuch were left in the hall.

　　"Your Majesty, we can activate the Three Emperors Killing Formation in the palace just now, and Lin Hailong will definitely not be able to escape." With his head slightly lowered, the old eunuch spoke with a hint of gloom.

　　Silently shaking her head, Empress Xiao sighed and said, "We can't afford to offend Lin Hailong yet. From the sound of it, he has already broken through the peak of the Martial Saint, and has even condensed a dragon-shaped world beast. Now, he has a very high position in the heart of the emperor, and we can't touch him."

　　"Then, what should we do with Princess Yuyao?" Nodding silently, the old eunuch looked at Lin Junyao again and asked.

　　"Send her back, and don't summon her into the palace again." Her face regained its composure and Empress Xiao spoke slowly.

　　"I understand." After agreeing, the old eunuch clapped his hands, and immediately, two palace maids quickly walked into the hall.

　　The expressions on the two people's faces were the same as usual, without any change. It was obvious that they didn't hear anything that had just happened in the hall.

　　"Send Princess Yuyao back." After looking at the two palace maids, the old eunuch spoke calmly.

　　"Yes." Nodding respectfully, the two palace maids helped the still unconscious Lin Junyao up and left the hall.

　　"Old Yan, I also need to retreat for a while. Everything in Kunyuan Palace is in your hands." After the two palace maids left, Empress Xiao immediately spoke slowly.

　　"Don't worry, Your Majesty." The old eunuch nodded and spoke respectfully.

　　After receiving the reply, Empress Xiao turned around and walked towards the back hall of Kunyuan Palace.

　　"After the Shenwei training camp is over, send someone to deal with Zhou Yun. Keeping this man alive will be disadvantageous to us." As Empress Xiao's figure disappeared, a voice came from afar.

　　"I understand." The old eunuch bowed towards the passage where Empress Xiao was no longer visible and spoke calmly.

　　In the palace, a conflict that was not fierce but very tense quickly passed. At this time, Zhou Yun, who had been lying in the Shenwei training camp, had also woken up.

　　Zhou Yun was originally practicing, but suddenly he felt a sudden pain in his heart and couldn't help but open his eyes.

　　"Zhou Yun, what's wrong?" Feeling Zhou Yun's change, Li Xiaoxiao immediately opened her eyes, came over, and said to Zhou Yun with concern, "You haven't woken up for three days. Are you hungry? Let me get you something to eat."

　　In three days, Zhou Yun's wounds had recovered a little, but he still couldn't get up. Without saying anything, Zhou Yun frowned slightly, covering his chest with a worried look on his face.

　　"Zhou Yun, what's wrong? Has your injury worsened? I'll ask Sister Wanqiu to come and take a look." Seeing Zhou Yun like this, Li Xiaoxiao immediately became worried and turned around to run away.

　　"No, I'm fine." At this time, Zhou Yun's voice came over.

　　Turning around, she saw that although Zhou Yun was still covering his chest with his hands, his blood and qi had not changed, and it was obvious that his injuries had not worsened. Feeling this, Li Xiaoxiao was somewhat relieved.

　　"Zhou Yun, what's wrong with you? Did you dream about something bad?" Li Xiaoxiao sat down on the small chair in front of Zhou Yun's bed again and asked carefully.

　　Zhou Yun smiled at Li Xiaoxiao's words and said, "I'm not asleep, so how could I be dreaming? I just suddenly felt a pain in my heart. I wonder if something happened to Jun Yao."

　　Upon hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao opened her mouth in astonishment. "Zhou Yun, you are not lying, are you? Do you have telepathy with Jun Yao? She is not here, how can you feel it?"

　　Looking at Li Xiaoxiao who looked unconvinced, Zhou Yun silently shook his head without giving too much explanation. Zhou Yun knew this feeling clearly. Back then, he and Jun Yao were hugging each other on the hill outside Heyang City and were discovered by Lin Juntian.

　　When the relationship between the two was in danger of being ruined, Zhou Yun also had this feeling. In his heart, Zhou Yun was very sure that there was indeed a mental connection between him and Lin Junyao.

　　However, this time the heartache only lasted for a short time before returning to normal. I believe Jun Yao will be fine.

　　Now, the most important thing is to improve your cultivation as soon as possible. When the Shenwei training camp is over, you must reach the martial saint realm, and then you can face the possible dangers in the future. After three consecutive days of training, although the injury recovered slowly, Zhou Yun could feel that the strength of his true power was constantly increasing. What he needed to do now was to continue to practice.

　　"Xiaoxiao, go get something to eat." Without continuing Li Xiaoxiao's previous topic, Zhou Yun breathed a sigh of relief and spoke calmly.

　　"Oh. Okay." Stunned by Zhou Yun's nonsensical words, Li Xiaoxiao didn't ask any more questions and just got up and walked out of the bedroom.

　　After a simple meal, Zhou Yun devoted himself to cultivation again. At this time, Lin Junyao had been sent back to the Lin family mansion.

　　Still lying in the room where Fang Xueying originally lived, after a while, Lin Junyao finally woke up.

　　Fang Xueyin had already been sent away in advance, and Lin Juntian was ready to talk to his sister alone. Although Lin Junyao was unconscious when she came back, her eyes were still full of tears, which made Lin Juntian feel distressed.

　　"Daddy, I don't want to..." Suddenly, Lin Junyao murmured and sat up.

　　"Jun Yao, it's okay, brother is here, don't be afraid." Seeing Lin Junyao's panic, Lin Juntian felt a pain in his heart and hurriedly held his sister's shoulder.

　　Being held in Lin Juntian's arms and smelling the familiar scent, Lin Junyao's heart finally settled down a little. She raised her eyes and looked around, and found that she was back home. Lin Junyao finally felt relieved.

　　But soon, thinking of the grievances she had suffered today, Lin Junyao couldn't help but shed tears again.

　　"Brother, I'm scared." Throwing herself into Lin Juntian's arms, Lin Junyao finally burst into tears. In fact, she was not a weak girl, but encountering a situation like today, in that kind of isolated and helpless environment, even if Lin Junyao was strong, she was just a person without the ability to protect herself. It was not easy for her to hold on until now.

　　"Junyao, don't cry, tell me what happened." Seeing that Lin Junyao came back safely, although there were traces of tears on her face, she was fine. Lin Juntian was somewhat relieved, but looking at the current situation, Lin Junyao was obviously wronged, how could Lin Juntian not care?

　　Under Lin Juntian's questioning, Lin Junyao finally told him everything that happened in Kunyuan Palace today.

　　After hearing the last sentence, Lin Juntian's face was already frosty.

　　"Xiao, Li Xian, how dare you bully my sister like this? Let's start today!" Lin Junyao finally finished her words. Although he knew that his sister did not sign the marriage certificate in the end, the anger in Lin Juntian's heart had been completely ignited.

　　Originally, he had not excluded Li Xian from the list of princes that the Lin family might support, but after today's incident, Lin Juntian knew that the Lin family had completely become opposed to the prince!

　　"Brother, what should I do in the future?" After finally calming down, Lin Junyao looked at her brother and spoke with some grievance.

　　"It's okay. Since daddy has already taken action, I believe they won't dare to recruit you into the palace casually in the future. Don't worry, when Zhou Yun comes out of the Shenwei training camp, I will let daddy help you get married." There was a sharp look in his eyes, and Lin Juntian spoke slowly.

　　Chapter 152 Testing the Strength of True Power

　　Lin Junyao was recruited into the palace by Empress Xiao to force her to make a marriage contract with Li Xian, but in the end, the crisis was resolved due to the appearance of Lin Hailong. Although he was in the Shenwei training camp, Zhou Yun still had a vague sense of all this.

　　Although he didn't know what happened to Jun Yao, Zhou Yun knew that Jun Yao must have had a hard time during his absence. The feeling of not being able to share the pain with her lover was extremely uncomfortable.

　　But Zhou Yun still tried hard to control the feelings in his heart, worked hard to heal his wounds, and at the same time continued to practice and improve his strength.

　　In the living area of ​​the Shenwei training camp, Zhou Yun was sitting quietly in his small building, holding his breath and concentrating, controlling the power in the mysterious vein in his body, making the final repair to the injury on his back.

　　This time the time it took to recover from the injury was faster than Zhou Yun had expected. Originally, Zhou Yun estimated that this recovery would take two months, but when it came to the critical moment, Zhou Yun found that he only needed one month and twenty days to completely heal the injury.

　　As the wound on his back continued to heal, the power in the mysterious vein in Zhou Yun's body was also gradually increasing, which directly led to Zhou Yun's speed of recovering from the injury becoming faster than before.

　　Sitting there quietly, Zhou Yun's hands slowly turned, and the power in the mysterious vein in his body was being mobilized by Zhou Yun, constantly attacking the cold power deposited in the wound on his back.

　　Snap! Snap!

　　As the power was absorbed, the most stubborn dent at the center of the wound on Zhou Yun's back began to loosen up little by little.

　　Under the dark wound, fresh flesh was breaking free and starting to grow rapidly. The remaining power was directly crushed and neutralized by the power in Zhou Yun's mysterious veins!

　　call!

　　The last bit of wound was completely washed away and absorbed, and Zhou Yun immediately felt a sense of comfort in his body. He couldn't help but let out a long breath.

　　The wound was completely healed, and Zhou Yun suddenly felt that his entire realm seemed to have been elevated to a higher level. Although he still didn't understand where the power in the mysterious veins came from, at least, there was indeed such power in Zhou Yun's veins now, and this was the most important thing.

　　"After finishing the Shenwei training camp this time, I can help my sister cure all of her chronic illnesses." Feeling the changes in his body, Zhou Yun spoke silently.

　　Moreover, as this mysterious power strengthened, Zhou Yun also gained other benefits. He had just sensed it once, and now if he released his spiritual sense, Zhou Yun could even feel the area within a radius of twenty miles clearly.

　　Under the coverage of Zhou Yun's spiritual perception, everything in this range was visible. He could even feel clearly what the students in other small buildings were doing. Even when Zhou Yun's power covered Li Fengyun's small building, he could clearly feel what he was doing. Moreover, this time Zhou Yun's spiritual power was not resisted.

　　"Zhou Yun, your injuries have healed!" At this time, Li Xiaoxiao, who had been accompanying Zhou Yun, also felt the changes in Zhou Yun. The injuries were completely healed, and Zhou Yun became more clear-headed than before. The feeling was extremely wonderful, and Li Xiaoxiao was able to grasp this feeling at once.

　　Standing up, Zhou Yun let out a long sigh and smiled, "Well, my injuries are all healed. Thank you for your hard work these days, Xiaoxiao."

　　Hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao's face immediately showed a happy expression, "Why thank me? I didn't do anything for you. It's great that you can complete the treatment now. Hurry up and recover your fighting skills. You have been sitting still for so many days. I'm afraid your fighting skills will be neglected. In addition, you still have a lot of time in the ancient training chamber. The assessment will start in ten days. You still have a chance to choose a treasure. Are you going to break through before the assessment or after the assessment?"

　　Although she was extremely happy, Li Xiaoxiao had already accumulated a lot of questions over the past few days. When she saw Zhou Yun wake up, Li Xiaoxiao immediately asked all these questions.

　　With a relaxed smile on his face, Zhou Yun said, "Of course I have to break through before the assessment. It seems that there is no room for improvement in my current strength. Now is the right time to break through. As for the combat skills, I will familiarize myself with them after I break through."

　　In fact, Zhou Yun was not negligent at all in terms of battle performance. Although Zhou Yun's main body had been using the power in the mysterious veins to heal the injury on his back these days, in the crystal space, Zhou Yun's condensed body had never given up practicing.

　　Moreover, after the wound on his back healed and the power in the mysterious veins increased, Zhou Yun felt that his thinking had suddenly become much sharper, and he had a new understanding of the All-Seeing Thunder Fist and the Shadow Knife Sect's secret techniques.

　　"In that case, let's go find Sister Xiaoxiao now, let her take a look at your condition, and then help you choose a suitable treasure." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately took Zhou Yun's hand and turned around to leave.

　　Zhou Yun grabbed the anxious Li Xiaoxiao and did not move. A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. He said, "Xiaoxiao, go to the Third Princess first. I'll go later."

　　"Huh? Why?" Hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately turned around in surprise.

　　Scratching his head a little embarrassedly, Zhou Yun said, "I haven't taken a shower for almost two months..."

　　"Ah..." Upon hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately understood. Her pretty face turned red. Li Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Yun awkwardly, then turned around and said, "Then hurry up and get ready. I'll go over and wait for you."

　　After leaving a few words, Li Xiaoxiao turned around and ran out of Zhou Yun's small building.

　　After Li Xiaoxiao left, Zhou Yun immediately called the soldiers at the door, fetched water, took a shower, and changed into a new set of clothes. Then Zhou Yun walked out of his small building and went to Li Wanqiu's residence.

　　As it was the last few days of the second assessment, there were quite a few people in the square of the living area. Various noble children were gathering in groups in front of the assessment tower, discussing something with each other, and paying attention to the situation on the Emperor's Elite List from time to time.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun appear, these noble children all moved aside with unnatural expressions, letting Zhou Yun pass, acting as if they didn't dare to provoke him.

　　Feeling the reactions of these noble children, Zhou Yun could only smile bitterly. After two battles, Zhou Yun's notoriety was now completely established.

　　Ignoring these people, Zhou Yun walked straight to the small building where Li Wanqiu lived. As he had been there before, the red-clad soldiers at the door did not stop Zhou Yun this time. Although General Yan Yin had been transferred, the specific affairs of the examination hall were still in the charge of the Chiyan Army.

　　Zhou Yun entered Li Wanqiu's small building with familiarity and went straight up the stairs. He had already released his spiritual sense to sense the locations of Li Wanqiu and Li Xiaoxiao. Zhou Yun stopped when he was about to reach the second floor.

　　"Third Princess, Zhou Yun is here to visit." Standing in the stairwell, Zhou Yun politely spoke to the room on the second floor. Although Li Xiaoxiao had arrived in advance, this was Li Wanqiu's small building after all. If Zhou Yun wanted to enter the second floor, he still needed to inform in advance.

　　"Come here." Soon, Li Wanqiu's calm voice came from the study on the second floor.

　　Zhou Yun walked over only after hearing Li Wanqiu's call.

　　In the study, Li Wanqiu was sitting with Li Xiaoxiao. There were several exquisite snacks on the small table in the study. Li Xiaoxiao was still picking out her favorite food as usual, while in front of Li Wanqiu was an ancient thread-bound book. From this point, the difference between the two can be clearly seen.

　　Sensing Zhou Yun entering the room, Li Wanqiu's gaze shifted from the book in front of him to Zhou Yun.

　　As soon as he saw Zhou Yun, Li Wanqiu's eyes lit up. "Zhou Yun, it seems that in the past month or so, not only have you recovered from your injuries, but your strength has also improved significantly. With your speed of improvement, maybe by the time the training camp closes, you will be able to compete with me for the first place."

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Zhou Yun smiled calmly and said slowly, "To be honest with you, Princess, I do have this idea. But it's not easy to do it."

　　Zhou Yun's frankness made Li Wanqiu feel comfortable. With a smile on his face, Li Wanqiu said, "Whether you can do it or not, I will help you."

　　"Come on, try your best to release your true power and bombard my sword body. Let me see the strength of your true power now." Taking a step back, Li Wanqiu made a mysterious sword flower with both hands. Suddenly, a vertical white light appeared in front of her and began to rotate with a humming sound.

　　"Try your best?" Zhou Yun asked uncertainly as he looked at the sword body that Li Wanqiu transformed into.

　　After nearly two months of training, Zhou Yun could now feel the terrifying strength of his inner strength. If he really attacked with all his strength, he didn't know if Li Wanqiu could withstand it. Especially since the sword she transformed looked unusually delicate, it didn't look like it could withstand a huge force.

　　As if seeing Zhou Yun's worry, Li Wanqiu's expression became serious and he said, "Don't think too much, just do your best! You are only at the stage of muscle training, and you can't shake me yet. I want to see the strength of your true power now, so that I can see which secret treasure you should choose to temper your body."

　　Seeing Li Wanqiu's appearance, Zhou Yun's mind finally calmed down. He signaled Li Xiaoxiao to stay away, and Zhou Yun began to slowly practice his Qi.

　　After nearly two months of training, this was the first time that Zhou Yun used his full strength to mobilize his true energy. He did not use the All-Seeing Thunder Fist. This time, Zhou Yun planned to use the secret technique of the Shadow Knife Sect.

　　As soon as all the true energy in his body was mobilized, waves of air immediately rose up around Zhou Yun. This powerful wave of air actually forced Li Xiaoxiao to retreat, and a look of horror appeared in her eyes.

　　Even Li Wanqiu's calm eyes showed some ripples at this moment. She had never expected that Zhou Yun's true power strength was so terrifying!

　　His expression became more solemn, and a powerful aura burst out from Li Wanqiu's body. The sword light became more and more condensed, and it already felt as sharp as a real sword.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun's aura had reached its peak!

　　With his eyes fixed, Zhou Yun suddenly shouted.

　　"Shock the knife!"

　　With this loud shout, Zhou Yun's right hand turned into a hand knife and slashed towards the sword light with force.

　　Suddenly, a dark gray aura surged out from Zhou Yun's arm and slammed heavily into the sword light emitted by Li Wanqiu.

　　boom!

　　The next moment, a strong explosion was heard, and everything in the room was completely destroyed in an instant. Although Li Xiaoxiao hid far away, she was also affected.

　　When the dust in the room settled, Zhou Yun immediately saw Li Wanqiu, who was clinging to the wall of the room, looking at her in shock.

　　At this moment, Li Wanqiu's position had retreated four or five steps compared to before!

　　Chapter 153: Hunyuan True Gold

　　At this moment, Li Wanqiu's face was a little pale, and her hands couldn't help but tremble. She really didn't expect that Zhou Yun's full-strength attack would have such terrifying power.

　　After all, Zhou Yun was only a martial artist at the peak of his muscle training, while she had already reached the realm of Yi Jin Xi Sui. There was a gap of two levels between them in terms of their cultivation levels!

　　"Sister Wanqiu, are you okay?" Seeing Li Wanqiu's pale face, Li Xiaoxiao immediately ran up and showed concern.

　　Zhou Yun's attack just now made her feel very uncomfortable. Although she was not directly affected by the force, the aftermath of the collision also affected her. If she had not finally realized the danger and mobilized her internal strength to resist, Li Xiaoxiao would probably have been dizzy by now.

　　Leaning against the wall, Li Wanqiu looked at Zhou Yun with complicated eyes and asked slowly, "Zhou Yun, tell me, are you really only at the peak of tendon training?"

　　Li Wanqiu couldn't believe this matter no matter what. If it was the peak of his muscle training, why would the power of this blow be so huge?

　　Although he was extremely skeptical and shocked in his heart, Li Wanqiu knew that this was a fact that had to be acknowledged, because the attack Zhou Yun had just launched was pure true power, but its intensity was unimaginable.

　　Sure enough, after hearing her question, Zhou Yun nodded and said, "I have indeed reached the peak of my strength training, absolutely true, but my strength has always been very high. After listening to the Third Princess's teachings, I have been working hard to hone my strength, and only then have I achieved the results I have now."

　　"It seems that it is related to his special physique. Moreover, the speed at which his true strength increases is indeed too fast. If this is the case, perhaps he can try to use that thing to temper his body." Looking at Zhou Yun, Li Wanqiu muttered silently.

　　In fact, she knew that a warrior's true strength could continue to grow after reaching the peak of tendon training, but no one had ever grown their true strength to Zhou Yun's level before breaking through the internal organ training and blood transfusion.

　　It's not for any other reason, it's just because the carrying capacity of the human body is limited, and the amount of true energy carried by the Dantian Qi Sea and the tendons throughout the body is also limited. If it continues to increase blindly, it may very likely cause serious consequences, or even cause the body to explode and die.

　　Why do warriors need to practice blood transfusion? In addition to refining the body to a completely pure state and allowing the body's true energy to be freely exerted, the remaining important point is to further enhance the warrior's body's true energy carrying capacity by transforming the body.

　　Now, Zhou Yun has not yet reached the stage of internal organ training and blood transfusion, but his true strength has reached such a level. Once he breaks through, how powerful will it be?

　　Moreover, according to her observation, the speed at which Zhou Yun's true energy grew was also extremely shocking. This shock was not even lower than Zhou Yun's body's true energy carrying capacity. At least Li Wanqiu had never seen a person who could make his true energy grow so terribly in such a short period of time.

　　It is said that Zhou Yun was just a weak figure at the top of the skin training level half a year ago. However, in just half a year, he completed a journey that many warriors could not complete in ten years. This is truly incredible.

　　"Sister Wanqiu, what are you talking about?" Standing next to Li Wanqiu, Li Xiaoxiao looked at her sister who was muttering to herself, her face changing again and again, and couldn't help but ask with some concern.

　　Reminded by Li Xiaoxiao's voice, Li Wanqiu reacted immediately, his face regained its composure, and he said calmly, "Let's go, let's go directly to the Shenwei Training Camp treasury, and I will pick out a suitable secret treasure for you."

　　It just so happens that we can’t stay here any longer.

　　Although he was a little surprised by Li Wanqiu's reaction, Zhou Yun still followed her and slowly went down the building. Zhou Yun didn't believe that Li Wanqiu would harm him. Firstly, Li Wanqiu had a good relationship with Li Xiaoxiao and would not harm the person Li Xiaoxiao liked.

　　Secondly, judging from the current situation, Zhou Yun is likely to help her brother, the Eighth Prince, to obtain the throne in the future, and she is in the same camp as her.

　　The three of them went downstairs together and told the red-clad soldiers at the door to clean up the study on the second floor. Li Wanqiu brought Zhou Yun to the last small tower on the square of the living area. This small tower should be the treasure house of the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　Along the way, Zhou Yun ignored everyone's strange looks. Li Wanqiu brought Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao to the treasure house.

　　"Zhou Yun and I are going to select a secret treasure, using the qualifications of the top three last month." Stopping in front of the treasury, Li Wanqiu spoke slowly to the red-clad armored soldier guarding the door.

　　"Please follow me." Nodding, the red-clad soldier opened the door of the small tower behind him, turned around and walked in.

　　"Xiaoxiao, wait for us here, we'll be back soon." Seeing that the red-clad soldier had turned around and walked in, Li Wanqiu immediately spoke to Li Xiaoxiao who was standing beside him.

　　At this time, Li Xiaoxiao's attention was not on her. Looking at Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao asked, "Zhou Yun, my ancient cultivation chamber time has not been used yet. After you choose the treasure, do you want to enter for cultivation?"

　　"Yeah, that should be the case." Zhou Yun nodded immediately when he remembered that he still had 150 hours of time in the ancient practice chamber this month. Although this time could be accumulated if it could not be used up, as long as it was used up by the end of the training camp, it was always good to improve his strength as soon as possible.

　　During that practice, Zhou Yun also realized that practicing in the ancient practice chamber could not only quickly increase his cultivation, but also provide him with many more insights.

　　"That's good. I'll go practice first. You don't use up all your time and keep track of my schedule. The cultivation test will be conducted in one hundred and twenty hours. We can come out together then." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately said happily, turned around and ran to the ancient cultivation secret room on the side.

　　Smiling at Li Xiaoxiao's back, Zhou Yun turned around and followed the third princess Li Wanqiu into the treasury of the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　Just like before, the treasure house of the Shenwei Training Camp was also a long and narrow dark passage when entering. Although there was no light in the passage, Zhou Yun could still clearly feel Li Wanqiu's location with his spiritual perception.

　　The two people were three meters apart. Zhou Yun followed Li Wanqiu and walked for three or four minutes. Finally, they reached the end of this long and narrow passage.

　　Outside the passage, a spacious hall appeared in front of Zhou Yun.

　　This hall connects four rooms. There are no written words on it, but symbols instead. On the top of the first door is a symbol of a sword, on the top of the second door is a symbol of a small flower, on the third door is a bamboo slip, and on the fourth door is a medicine furnace.

　　Seeing these four doors, Zhou Yun immediately guessed what was placed behind these four doors.

　　Sure enough, Li Wanqiu did not stop and walked directly into the second door with the little flower logo. This door should represent some natural treasures, while the other three doors represent weapons, secret books and elixirs.

　　"I wonder if there is the Myriad Thunder Fist in the secret book room." Zhou Yun pondered silently as he looked at the bamboo slip-like symbol on the third door. But he still followed Li Wanqiu into the second door.

　　As soon as he entered the door, rows of shelves appeared in front of Zhou Yun.

　　The room was very large, nearly two hundred square meters, and it was filled with rows of shelves filled with things.

　　It seems that these things are undoubtedly precious natural treasures.

　　The containers that hold these natural treasures are different. Some are crystal bottles, some are brocade boxes, and some are held in space rings. These natural treasures only had a simple name before. After only a few steps, Zhou Yun had already seen a lot of precious things.

　　"Snow-top Spirit Pearl, Moonlight Pearl, Thousand-year-old Ganoderma Lucidum, Dragon Tooth Grass..." Treasures that only appeared in rumors appeared in front of Zhou Yun one by one, making Zhou Yun feel overwhelmed.

　　But these things only had a name written on them, and there was no mention of their effects and uses at all. Seeing this, Zhou Yun immediately felt fortunate that Li Wanqiu was with him, otherwise, Zhou Yun really wouldn't know which of these things to use.

　　I have to say, there are so many things here. Zhou Yun really didn't expect that the Shenwei Training Camp could be so rich!

　　"In fact, these things are extremely precious in the eyes of outsiders. Even Xiaoxiao was able to meet you that time because she rushed to the Black Dragon Mountains just to get a Moon Pearl. But in the eyes of the real top of the dynasty, these things are just ordinary stuff. All the things here are not of much use to warriors who have entered the realm of Yi Jin Xi Sui. However, there is one thing that is good if you come to use it." As if seeing Zhou Yun's thoughts, Li Wanqiu spoke casually as he walked.

　　Is it useless?

　　Listening to Li Xiaoxiao's words, Zhou Yun's feelings about the treasures in front of him gradually faded. After careful consideration, Zhou Yun indeed understood that even if these things were useful, they could only improve his cultivation for a period of time.

　　The real treasure should be something like a boundary crystal, just like the one in Zhou Yun's hand. Zhou Yun naturally knew where his true strength and body carrying capacity came from, all of which were attributed to this mysterious boundary crystal.

　　At this time, Li Wanqiu had also come to a shelf and pointed at something on the shelf. Li Wanqiu said, "Zhou Yun, this is a piece of Hunyuan True Gold. It is the best thing here. However, most of the students in the Shenwei Training Camp cannot use it. But if it is you, you can try to use this Hunyuan True Gold."

　　"Real Hunyuan Gold?" Zhou Yun asked curiously, and walked behind Li Wanqiu, looking at the thing in front of him.

　　It was a piece of metal sealed in a crystal bottle, the size of an egg, with a glittering glow all over it. One glance at it revealed that it was definitely not an ordinary item. Although separated by a layer of crystal bottle, Zhou Yun still felt an extreme sharpness from the gold nugget! It seemed to cut a person in half!

　　"What a strong edge!" Looking at the Hunyuan Sutra, Zhou Yun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

　　"Yes, it is the sharp edge!" After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Wanqiu nodded immediately, "This Hunyuan True Gold is condensed from the gold crystal ore on the top of Moyun Peak, the highest peak in Tianyuan Continent. It was finally exposed to the scorching sun, and it contains a strong true yang light. It is the strongest and most fierce existence. Using this Hunyuan True Gold to temper the body can definitely temper the body to the point where there is no impurity in one fell swoop. Moreover, the physique of the warrior will also get a complete leap. After that, even if it is slashed by a blade, it will only leave a white mark. Unless it is attacked by a strong true force or even a higher level of force, there will be a real wound. It can be said that this is the best choice for warriors to refine their bodies!"

　　Listening to Li Wanqiu's words and looking at the glittering Hunyuan real gold, Zhou Yun's eyes couldn't help but become hot.

　　Chapter 154: Practice organ and blood transfusion, innate martial artist!

　　Naturally, he also saw the desire in Zhou Yun's eyes. Li Wanqiu's expression became serious and he said to Zhou Yun, "Zhou Yun, although the effect of using this Hunyuan True Gold to cultivate your body is very good, the process is extremely painful. This Hunyuan True Gold is extremely strong and the condensation process must be the same. Although your true strength and physical endurance are very strong, I still want to remind you."

　　Looking at Li Wanqiu with a serious face, Zhou Yun couldn't help but nodded. He could understand this truth.

　　Just as Li Wanqiu said, this Hunyuan True Gold is extremely hard and yang, and the process of refining it will inevitably be extremely painful. Moreover, if the body is not strong enough, it is very likely that the refining will fail and instead one will be injured by the power of this Hunyuan True Gold.

　　The reason why Li Wanqiu suggested that he use Hunyuan True Gold to condense it must be because of his own extremely high physical strength.

　　Nodding, Zhou Yun said, "I understand. However, how should this Hunyuan True Gold be used when it is really needed?"

　　Zhou Yun was not afraid of pain, as long as it could bring the best results. Moreover, after experiencing the painful healing process after being injured by the three-eyed demon eagle, Zhou Yun really didn't think there was any pain he couldn't bear.

　　Zhou Yun had been injured many times, and endured a lot of pain. But only this time when he was injured by the three-eyed devil eagle, Zhou Yun was really unable to move under such pain, and it was hard for Zhou Yun to imagine what kind of pain he could not endure.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun had made up his mind, Li Wanqiu said nothing more. He reached out and took out the Hunyuan True Gold, and said slowly, "Go to the basement of your own building and use your greatest True Power to bombard the Hunyuan True Gold. Just try to smash it into pieces. With your current True Power, you will have no problem doing this. Then, you can practice in the basement."

　　"After you smash the Hunyuan True Gold, the entire basement will be filled with the True Yang Gold Dust brought by the True Gold. You can naturally complete the tempering by breathing normally."

　　After finishing the explanation, Li Wanqiu handed the bottle containing Hunyuan real gold to Zhou Yun.

　　After taking the crystal bottle, even though there was still a layer of separation, Zhou Yun immediately felt an extreme burning and stinging sensation. This feeling was the exact opposite of the pain brought by the three-eyed demon eagle!

　　The wound caused by the three-eyed demon eagle was the kind of extreme cold that gave people a burning illusion. However, Zhou Yun felt that the Hunyuan True Gold was the kind of extreme heat that gave people a cold illusion.

　　"I understand." Having already had some understanding of the pain that was to come, Zhou Yun put the Hunyuan Real Gold into his space ring and nodded silently.

　　"Okay, you can go practice now. Ten days should be enough for you to complete the condensation. As for the time of using the ancient practice chamber, you can save it for later." Having said what needed to be said, Li Wanqiu gave Zhou Yun some instructions and turned around and walked out of the treasure chamber.

　　I know that Li Wanqiu has always been like this. After saying what needs to be said, she won't say anything else.

　　Li Wanqiu had already left, and Zhou Yun did not stay either. He turned around and walked out of the Shenwei Training Camp Treasure House.

　　Instead of entering the ancient secret room for cultivation, Zhou Yun returned directly to his small building, entered the basement, closed the stone door of the basement, and then came to the central position of the secret room.

　　Sitting quietly on the stone platform, Zhou Yun calmed his breathing. When his mind was completely peaceful, he took out the Hunyuan Real Gold from the space ring.

　　Originally, the underground secret room where Zhou Yun was located was relatively dim, but as soon as the Hunyuan True Gold appeared, the dazzling light immediately illuminated the secret room like daylight.

　　Although there was a layer of crystal between them, Zhou Yun could still feel the powerful force of the Hunyuan True Gold.

　　Looking at the Hunyuan True Gold in his hand quietly, Zhou Yun's breathing gradually became longer, and the true power in his body began to slowly mobilize, soaring upward step by step! As Zhou Yun's true power continued to condense, layers of air waves suddenly began to appear beside Zhou Yun's body!

　　"open!"

　　With a sudden shout, Zhou Yun opened the lid of the crystal bottle and slapped the bottom of the bottle mouth at the same time. Suddenly, the Hunyuan Sutra flew high up.

　　At this time, the true energy in Zhou Yun's body has already condensed to its peak state!

　　"break!"

　　Clenching his palm into a fist, Zhou Yun used all his strength to strike upwards!

　　bump!!!

　　A loud noise was heard, and the entire secret room was immediately shrouded in golden smoke. The Hunyuan True Gold had been completely shattered by Zhou Yun's punch!

　　The moment the Hunyuan True Gold was broken, Zhou Yun immediately felt an incredible stinging pain all over his body! It was as if all his clothes were stripped off and he was burning under the scorching sun! After the needle-like hot feeling reached its extreme, it even gave back some cold feelings!

　　"This Hunyuan True Gold is indeed extraordinary!" Feeling the pain all over his body, this thought immediately popped up in Zhou Yun's mind!

　　Holding his breath and concentrating, Zhou Yun did not breathe in and out rashly, because once he started breathing, the True Yang Gold Dust that filled the basement after the Hunyuan True Gold was shattered would immediately enter his body, and then it would be a sudden pain, and such pain might make Zhou Yun's originally calm mind agitated again.

　　Holding his breath quietly, Zhou Yun used his body to feel the pain brought by the Hunyuan True Gold bit by bit. The pain was extremely intense. If Zhou Yun had not endured the attack of the three-eyed demon eagle before and experienced that kind of extreme pain, he might really be in danger if he suddenly experienced such pain.

　　But now, Zhou Yun's mind and body can fully bear it, and no accidents have occurred!

　　After getting used to the pain, Zhou Yun immediately began to breathe in and out slowly. When a stream of True Yang golden dust was inhaled by Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun, who had originally only felt external pain, immediately felt a sharp pain attacking him from the outside to the inside.

　　As the True Yang Golden Dust entered the five internal organs, it immediately brought an extremely burning sensation, but in this pain, Zhou Yun also felt that his body was changing rapidly.

　　Breathing is a method of cultivation that circulates the whole body with breath. Immersed in this True Yang Golden Dust, the golden dust in the air will naturally flow through the body with Zhou Yun's breathing. Gradually, groups of halos begin to rotate above Zhou Yun's body, which is extremely dazzling.

　　The body, skin, and even muscles began to beat, and Zhou Yun's blood was also like this, with a golden color and a boiling feeling!

　　Surprised and happy, Zhou Yun began to immerse himself completely in it.

　　Ten days passed slowly. In the underground secret room, the concentration of True Yang Gold Dust became lower and lower, and Zhou Yun's entire temperament also changed significantly. Looking at Zhou Yun now, one could feel that he was as transparent as jade.

　　Inside Zhou Yun's body, the veins were circulating rapidly as he breathed in and out. At this moment, Zhou Yun's true energy had become extremely pure.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun only felt that some kind of restriction in his body was quietly opening.

　　It was as if the body's senses were suddenly elevated to a higher level. Zhou Yun felt that both his control over his true energy and his sensitivity to the surrounding world had reached a new level!

　　"It's time!" Suddenly, Zhou Yun opened his eyes. Looking carefully, it was not difficult to find that there was a faint golden light in Zhou Yun's eyes at this moment!

　　As Zhou Yun opened his eyes, a dazzling light immediately emanated from his body.

　　boom!

　　At this moment, a burst of golden dark dust burst out from Zhou Yun's body violently. These dark dusts were some impurities accumulated in Zhou Yun's body over the past few days. Now, these impurities were finally completely expelled from the body!

　　Looking at Zhou Yun, the whole person was filled with an extremely comfortable and natural feeling, and only Zhou Yun knew the changes in his body at this moment.

　　As Zhou Yun entered the extreme stage of internal organ training and blood exchange, his body was also changing. Although his original strength was magnificent, it seemed a little less condensed. His true energy began to condense rapidly. As Zhou Yun's true energy condensed, his body became purer.

　　The sound of "crackling, crackling" began to be transmitted from the body.

　　"ah!"

　　With a loud shout, Zhou Yun was immediately burst out with a powerful force, and all his clothes exploded and shattered at this moment. Zhou Yun stood on the high platform, his whole body shining with golden light.

　　The strength in the body is also increasing!

　　As soon as he entered the stage of practicing internal organs and blood transfusion, Zhou Yun actually reached the middle stage of practicing internal organs and blood transfusion.

　　It has to be said that Zhou Yun had accumulated too much true energy in his body before. Although it has been repeatedly condensed, its strength is still considerable!

　　Although Zhou Yun's cultivation level was at the middle stage of the internal organ exchange and blood transfusion at this time, Zhou Yun felt that his original advantage in strength was still maintained. Although the level was low, in terms of strength, Zhou Yun's strength would not lose to those who were at the peak of the internal organ exchange and blood transfusion, or even the initial stage of the martial saint!

　　The wrestling match with Li Wanqiu was proof that Zhou Yun, who had not yet made a breakthrough, could force Li Wanqiu to retreat repeatedly with a full-strength attack, let alone the current Zhou Yun!

　　"Now, it's time to take the test. This time, I should be able to really defeat Li Fengyun!" Zhou Yun clenched his right fist slightly, and a burst of power immediately surged around his body. Feeling the change in strength after his breakthrough, Zhou Yun couldn't help but speak out confidently.

　　Now Zhou Yun is certain that he can defeat Li Fengyun!

　　Moreover, it was a face-to-face defeat, without any tricks!

　　After changing into a new set of clothes, Zhou Yun opened the door of the basement and walked out.

　　"Zhou Yun! You are a guy who doesn't keep his word. Didn't you agree to wait for me outside the ancient training chamber?" Zhou Yun heard an angry voice as soon as he came out. The next moment, Li Xiaoxiao in red clothes ran in front of Zhou Yun.

　　Just as he was about to reply, before Zhou Yun could say anything, Li Xiaoxiao spoke again. Looking at Zhou Yun in front of him, Li Xiaoxiao said "Huh" strangely, and the next moment, the surprise on her face immediately turned into ecstasy!

　　"Zhou Yun, you have a breakthrough!?" Li Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, she jumped suddenly and asked happily.

　　"Well, we have made a breakthrough. Let's go take the test now." With a confident smile on his face, Zhou Yun was the first to walk out of the main door of the small building.

　　"Wait for me!" Seeing Zhou Yun's high-spirited look, Li Xiaoxiao also became happy for Zhou Yun. With a cheer, Li Xiaoxiao quickly ran over and took Zhou Yun's hand.

　　Chapter 155 Seven seconds!

　　Walking out of the small building, Zhou Yun subconsciously looked up at the Emperor Elite List in the distance. It was already the last day of this assessment, and most of the candidates had already completed the cultivation assessment at this time.

　　The latest ranking on the Emperor Elite List has also been released.

　　The first place is still the third princess of the current dynasty, Li Wanqiu. The second place is Li Fengyun. Next, Xie Changtian and Wu Helianshan follow in order.

　　"Xiaoxiao, what level do you plan to reach this time?" Zhou Yun's cultivation had broken through to the stage of internal organ training and blood transfusion. Now his mood had improved a lot. While walking, Zhou Yun also asked Li Xiaoxiao beside him.

　　Li Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhou Yun and said, "I have gained some insights in my cultivation recently, and I am about to reach the peak of internal organ training and blood exchange. I don't want to practice too fast, after all, my body is not fully condensed yet. I also want to find the Moonlight Pearl and break through after tempering my body."

　　"The Moonlight Pearl?" After hearing Li Xiaoxiao's words, Zhou Yun silently recited them. Ten days ago, Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu went to the treasure house of the Shenwei Training Camp together. There, Zhou Yun saw the Moonlight Pearl that Li Xiaoxiao mentioned.

　　Although this thing is also extremely precious, but from Li Wanqiu's mouth, we learned that the treasures in the Shenwei Training Camp are only useful to those with cultivation levels below the organ blood exchange level. Once one's cultivation level reaches a high level, these things in the Shenwei Training Camp's treasury are no longer useful.

　　Since she can still make it into the top three this time, then the opportunity to choose treasures from the Shenwei Training Camp treasury will be given to Li Xiaoxiao. This is also a way to repay her for her help to me.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately said, "Xiaoxiao, there is the Moonlight Pearl in the treasure house of the Shenwei Training Camp. Let me help you get it out this time."

　　"Really?" Li Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Zhou Yun's words. In fact, with her status and position, it was not too difficult to get such a thing. The last time she went to the Black Dragon Mountains, she was just angry and wanted to rely on her own strength to obtain the treasure.

　　However, now Li Xiaoxiao feels that what she gets is far better than what Zhou Yun gives her.

　　"Of course, this time I can try for the second place, first suppress Li Fengyun, and then try to challenge the third princess. I will not easily miss the opportunity to get the full set of Wanxiang Benlei Fist." Zhou Yun nodded and said.

　　"Come on, I support you." This time, Li Xiaoxiao surprisingly did not make a fuss, but cheered for Zhou Yun obediently.

　　"By the way, Zhou Yun, since the assessment this time is held in two months, if you can enter the top three, you will have two chances to choose the treasure house of the Shenwei Training Camp." After being generous to Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao said to Zhou Yun as if she suddenly remembered something.

　　"Oh? Twice?" There was a flash of surprise in Zhou Yun's eyes, and some thoughts arose in his mind.

　　Now, Zhou Yun's actual combat ability is already very good, the Myriad Thunder Fist and Shadow Blade Sect's secret technique are both first-class skills in the world. But Zhou Yun's footwork that matches them is a little weak.

　　Currently, Zhou Yun is still using the pneumatic step that he learned from that inferior fellow Qingliu Gongzi. The step that seemed very good at that time, but now Zhou Yun thinks it is a bit too weak.

　　After all, using a technique like Qidong Bu to cooperate with the Shadow Knife Sect's secret technique and the Myriad Things Thunder Fist does have a bit of the meaning of "the head of a phoenix and the tail of a chicken".

　　Since I can choose two treasures this time, after getting the Moonlight Pearl for Li Xiaoxiao, I will go to the secret book treasury to see if there are any better footwork secrets.

　　While they were thinking, the two of them had already arrived in front of the small tower for testing their cultivation.

　　"Zhou Yun, you haven't experienced actual combat after your breakthrough in cultivation. Can you start the challenge directly?" As the assessment was about to begin, Li Xiaoxiao began to worry about Zhou Yun again.

　　With a casual smile, Zhou Yun said, "No problem, don't worry."

　　This is not a problem at all in Zhou Yun's opinion. Compared with other warriors, Zhou Yun's biggest advantage is that piece of boundary crystal. In the boundary crystal space, Zhou Yun's cultivation has never stopped.

　　With the help of the world crystal, Zhou Yun's cultivation speed was already faster than others. After the separation of the spiritual consciousness of the main body and the condensed body, it was equivalent to double the cultivation time, and the effect was greatly increased.

　　"Well, let's go in together." Seeing Zhou Yun's confident expression, Li Xiaoxiao was no longer worried and spoke to Zhou Yun.

　　"Okay." After responding, Zhou Yun took Li Xiaoxiao into the assessment tower.

　　The assessment here can be conducted separately. Although Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao entered at the same time, they were divided into different examination rooms. It was still a dark passage. Zhou Yun walked slowly forward, swinging his fist according to the routine of Wanxiang Benlei Fist, feeling the added power.

　　After a while, Zhou Yun finally walked out of the passage.

　　Suddenly, the circular hall appeared in front of Zhou Yun, just like the last time, with the lights connected as usual, and ten warriors standing there.

　　"Candidate Zhou Yun, the ten warriors in front of you are at the third level of bone training, the third level of tendon training, the third level of organ training and blood transfusion, and the initial stage of tendon and marrow cleansing. Please choose one to fight against." Upon seeing Zhou Yun walk in, an examiner standing in the circular hall spoke immediately.

　　Zhou Yun focused his mind and sensed the aura of the last two warriors in the distance. In fact, among all the ten warriors, only the two warriors at the peak of internal organ training and blood exchange and the early stage of Yijinxisui could be Zhou Yun's choice.

　　The remaining warriors are no longer good enough. Zhou Yun already knew this from a previous assessment. Although each of these warriors has reached the corresponding realm, their combat level can only be described as upper-middle. They are not like the war puppets in the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower, which have all reached the combat peak of their respective levels.

　　These warriors taking the test are all real people, so naturally they cannot have the same cruel and tenacious fighting will as the war puppets.

　　After a brief sense, Zhou Yun discovered that the warrior who was at the peak of the internal organ blood exchange technique and the warrior who was at the initial stage of Yi Jin Xi Sui, did not feel extremely dangerous in his perception. Not to mention extremely dangerous, there was not even an ordinary sense of danger.

　　Based on this point, Zhou Yun could judge that even challenging the warrior who had undergone Yi Jin Xi Sui would not be a problem.

　　"I choose to challenge a warrior who is in the early stage of Yi Jin Xi Sui." Zhou Yun said slowly with a calm expression.

　　"Hmm?" Upon hearing Zhou Yun's words, the warrior in charge of the assessment immediately snorted and asked, "Are you sure?"

　　Actually, his question was somewhat unreasonable. After all, he was only the examiner here. He only needed to arrange the level of opponents that the examinees chose. But he remembered Zhou Yun. He was in charge of the last time Zhou Yun challenged him. The last time he challenged him was at the beginning of the internal organ exchange. Now, it has only been three months, and he is going to rise to a higher level. This speed of improvement is a bit too shocking.

　　"Sure!" With a calm expression, Zhou Yun had already jumped into the field.

　　After giving Zhou Yun a complicated look, the assessing military officer nodded.

　　Suddenly, the last warrior in the row jumped out, with a sword in his hand.

　　"You also use a knife. I want to see what's different about your knife skills." With a slight turn of his wrist, the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber appeared in Zhou Yun's hand.

　　The two men faced each other in the middle of the field, ready to start.

　　"start!"

　　Everything was ready, and the military officer in charge of the assessment immediately gave the order.

　　Following the order, the warrior who was in the initial stage of Yi Jin Xi Sui immediately swung out three sword flowers with the sword in his hand. Suddenly, three sword auras came out of his body and cut straight towards Zhou Yun.

　　"Unnecessary!" With a cold snort, Zhou Yun directly turned the sword in his hand horizontally and slashed it with force. Immediately, a condensed gray sword energy rushed out.

　　In his opinion, the three sword auras emitted by this warrior were completely redundant. He split his original not-so-strong true strength just to make up the number or to look good. Zhou Yun could dissolve these three sword auras with just a wave of his hand!

　　Sure enough, after Zhou Yun's horizontal sword energy collided with the three sword energies, it immediately dissolved them one by one. Moreover, after breaking through the three sword energies, Zhou Yun's sword energy continued to move forward and was about to hit the warrior.

　　It was a typical case of someone who strikes later but is the first to arrive. Seeing Zhou Yun’s counterattack was so fierce, the warrior was horrified and tried to dodge quickly!

　　But at this time Zhou Yun had already made preparations. No matter which direction the warrior dodged, Zhou Yun's next attack would be enough to hit him quickly.

　　Before he moved, the warrior immediately felt that he must not dodge rashly because Zhou Yun had already stared at him completely.

　　"Well, he can also sense my next move!?" Zhou Yun was immediately shocked when he saw the warrior's reaction.

　　Until now, he only knew that the biggest difference between training the organs and exchanging blood and training the tendons was that the true energy would become more condensed, and the physical fitness would also change accordingly. The pure body could support the warrior to use the true energy at will, and there would be no problem at all in attacking out of the body.

　　But if a warrior reaches the realm of Yijin Xisui, what new abilities will he have? Zhou Yun really doesn't understand this.

　　Looking at the warrior's reaction now, Zhou Yun vaguely felt that after achieving Yi Jin Xi Sui, the warrior's sensing ability must have been greatly improved.

　　"Could it be that this mysterious meridian in my body is the one that can only be opened by warriors in the Yi Jin Xi Sui stage?" In an instant, a bold idea entered Zhou Yun's mind.

　　But at this time, the battle situation did not allow Zhou Yun to think too much. Knowing that he was being stared at by Zhou Yun, the warrior did not choose to dodge, but instead took Zhou Yun's attack.

　　Seeing the warrior's action, Zhou Yun immediately rushed forward, and while he was shaken by his power and his body was unstable, he pushed out another powerful force. Suddenly, the warrior was pushed up by Zhou Yun, and the whole person left the center circle and hit the wall of the stone room directly. Although he was pushed out, the warrior was not injured.

　　If a warrior has been forced to withdraw from the arena, he is naturally considered the loser.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun won this match so easily, the shock in the eyes of the examiner became even stronger, but he still fulfilled his duty, stepped forward and announced Zhou Yun's result.

　　"Candidate Zhou Yun successfully challenged a warrior at the initial stage of Yi Jin Xi Sui, and it took him seven seconds!"

　　Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun immediately showed a strange expression on his face, "Why do we need to count the time? Is there no higher-level warriors to challenge? Then how will the results be ranked?"

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's question, the warrior maintained a stern expression on his face and said, "This examination room was originally used for the initial test. This time it was temporarily changed to take over the mid-term test, so no warriors of higher realms were prepared. The dynasty doesn't have that many Martial Saint-level warriors to waste here. The rule for calculating the results of the examination room is that if you challenge warriors of the same level and both succeed, then the one who takes the shorter time will naturally get a higher ranking."

　　As soon as the military officer finished speaking, Zhou Yun showed a look of confusion. It seemed that because of the disturbance in the No. 1 examination room, the Shenwei training camp temporarily changed the examination items, which led to the current situation.

　　However, although he didn't know the rules before, the seven seconds Zhou Yun took was already a very short time.

　　"If I had known the rules were like this earlier, maybe I could have ended the battle in just one second." Shaking his head, Zhou Yun muttered to himself, and slowly walked out of the assessment tower, leaving behind only the assessment officers and warriors who were stunned after hearing his words.

　　"He is indeed the dynasty's top talent, truly extraordinary!" The military officer who was conducting the assessment murmured as he looked at Zhou Yun's back.

　　Chapter 156 Examination Room No. 6

　　In fact, when Zhou Yun said that he could end the battle in one second, he was definitely not bragging or being arrogant. He was truly confident. After his cultivation level was improved, Zhou Yun's true power was condensed. Although it did not seem as powerful as before, its impact was even stronger.

　　Moreover, through this condensation, Zhou Yun has confirmed that he has gained the possibility of improving his true power. The ancient training chamber has not been used for a long time. Adding the time gained this time, if it is used up at once, the strength of Zhou Yun's true power will probably reach an extremely terrifying level.

　　After walking quietly in the passage for a while, Zhou Yun had left the small tower where his cultivation was tested.

　　As soon as he left the small tower, Zhou Yun immediately felt a noisy sound around him. He looked up and found that the students gathered in the central square of the living area were discussing something. After seeing Zhou Yun, these people kept silent at the same time, and showed fear on their faces.

　　Looking at the expressions of these people, Zhou Yun knew that his ranking should be improved again this time.

　　Turning around, Zhou Yun looked at the Emperor's Elite List behind him.

　　"Sure enough, I surpassed Li Fengyun this time. Now, only the third princess is left. No matter what, I must get the complete set of All-Elephant Thunder Fist." Looking at the Emperor's Elite List, his name was already ranked second.

　　"Brother Zhou, in just three months, you have become so strong that I am really impressed." At this time, a sighing voice came from afar.

　　Turning around, Zhou Yun immediately saw Xie Changtian in the distance. He smiled slightly and clasped his fists, saying, "Brother Xie, you are too kind. Zhou Yun just had slightly better luck. It's not worth mentioning."

　　Shaking his head, Xie Changtian did not respond to Zhou Yun's words, but changed the subject.

　　"A huge change has happened in the Shenwei Training Camp this time. I'm afraid there won't be three concentrated assessments in the next three months. I heard that this afternoon, the new General Hu Pen will announce the items for the final exam. All candidates can leave the Shenwei Training Camp at any time as long as they complete this final assessment item. I came to Brother Zhou today to extend an invitation. Please ask Brother Zhou to come to my villa for a small gathering before leaving the Shenwei Training Camp and leaving Beijing." Looking at Zhou Yun, Xie Changtian invited him with a smile.

　　Looking at Xie Changtian in front of him, Zhou Yun knew that he was probably really determined to pull him into the Eighth Prince's camp.

　　However, this was Xie Changtian's second invitation in a row, and Zhou Yun had already offended the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, so it seemed that the Eighth Prince was the only option left. Although I didn't know what the Lin family thought yet, it wouldn't hurt to go and sit down when the time came.

　　"Zhou Yun! You're out! You're the second place? That's great!" Just as Zhou Yun was about to answer after thinking, a cheerful female voice came from behind him. Without looking, Zhou Yun knew that Li Xiaoxiao had finished the assessment and came out.

　　Naturally, he also saw Li Xiaoxiao, and a helpless smile appeared on his face. Xie Changtian clasped his fists towards Zhou Yun and said, "Brother Zhou, it's settled. I will not return to Jinghai for some time. I will be waiting for you in the villa in the capital."

　　"Okay, I will definitely go to visit you then." Xie Changtian has invited me several times, and it would be too disrespectful if I don't agree.

　　After getting a satisfactory answer, Xie Changtian immediately turned around and left. He was really a little scared of Li Xiaoxiao. Among the people of the Eighth Prince's family, everyone regarded Li Xiaoxiao as a little ancestor who could not be provoked.

　　Xie Changtian turned and left, and Li Xiaoxiao also ran to Zhou Yun, "Zhou Yun, what did that guy say to you?"

　　"It's nothing. He just invited me to visit his villa after the Shenwei training camp is over." Zhou Yun said calmly.

　　"You agreed?" Li Xiaoxiao spoke immediately after hearing Zhou Yun's words.

　　Nodding, Zhou Yun said, "I agree."

　　"Great!" Li Xiaoxiao cheered and said happily, "Zhou Yun, don't worry, he will definitely recommend you to the Eighth Prince. Besides, the Eighth Prince is courteous to the wise and you are so capable, you will definitely be given an important position."

　　Zhou Yun shook his head and said nothing. He actually didn't care whether he would be reused or not. It all depended on the Lin family's opinion.

　　Woo!!

　　At this time, a loud horn sounded. Upon hearing the horn, the expressions of all the candidates in the square immediately became serious.

　　Now that all candidates have completed this stage of the assessment, it is time to announce the results.

　　After the horn sounded, the only few students who were not waiting in the square came out of their respective small buildings and quickly rushed to the central square of the living area.

　　The sound of orderly footsteps rang out, and two teams of red-clad soldiers had already formed two rows on an open space in the square, spreading outward. At this time, with a ferocious roar, a giant beast appeared on the square.

　　The giant beast looked like a tiger, but its body was much larger, and its teeth were longer and sharper. Its fur was dark red with black stripes, making it look extremely powerful. The roar just now was made by this strange beast.

　　On the back of the strange beast, a warrior wrapped in black armor and wearing a tiger mask was sitting quietly.

　　Although the tiger mask completely obscured the military officer's presence, all the candidates still felt the deep pressure.

　　This should be General Hu Pen who took over the Shenwei Training Camp from General Yan Yin!

　　Seeing that General Hupeng was already in place, all the candidates consciously found their positions according to their rankings on the Emperor's Elite List.

　　The first person in the front row was still the unbeatable Li Wanqiu, but this time, the person standing next to her was Zhou Yun, and next to Zhou Yun was Li Fengyun who had not been seen for a long time.

　　Although Li Fengyun said nothing, Zhou Yun did not let down his guard. The ability of such a prince's son was definitely beyond his estimation. Even if his cultivation was not as good as his, once he left the environment of the Shenwei Training Camp in the future, the power he could mobilize would be terrifying.

　　Behind the two of them, Xie Changtian, Wu Helianshan and others stood in order. What Zhou Yun didn't expect was that Li Xiaoxiao was also ranked ninth this time.

　　In fact, it is not difficult to understand after careful consideration. More than half of the students in the Shenwei training camp have been killed this time. It is not a big deal to be ranked ninth among more than 30 people. Moreover, Li Xiaoxiao has been practicing hard recently. In addition, as a princess, the skills she has learned are extremely powerful, so it is not surprising that she is among the top ten.

　　Seeing that all the candidates had taken their positions, General Hupeng, who was sitting on the back of the tiger-shaped beast, glanced at everyone and began to announce. Although his head was completely covered by the mask, the feeling of "glancing" was very clear.

　　"The results of this assessment have been confirmed on the Emperor's Elite List!"

　　"Now, I announce the resource distribution. The first place winner will get 400 hours of use of the ancient cultivation chamber. The second place winner will get 360 hours of use of the ancient cultivation chamber. The third place winner will also get 300 hours of use of the ancient cultivation chamber..."

　　As Li Xiaoxiao said, since this time the exam was held in two months, all the rewards were doubled. Soon, General Hu Pen had announced all the rewards that all the students in the Shenwei training camp deserved.

　　All resources have been allocated. General Hu Pen paused for a moment and spoke again.

　　"Due to some serious accidents in this Shenwei training camp, the assessments for the next three months will be conducted together. The assessment location is in the sixth examination room of the Shenwei training camp. After entering the examination room, candidates need to obtain an item called the 'Holy Spirit Stone'. After finding it, they will store it in their rings and return it to the training camp after the assessment. We will rank the final scores according to the number of Holy Spirit Stones returned."

　　"This test is extremely difficult and dangerous. Everything is unknown in the test room. Please consider whether to take the test. If you do not want to participate, you can give up at any time. Students who give up the test can leave the Shenwei training camp on their own, but it does not count as withdrawal. At the instruction of General Shenwei, all students who remain in the Shenwei training camp will be evaluated as having completed the test normally."

　　"The final results will be confirmed three months later, and the rewards will also be distributed three months later. If you leave the camp early, it will be deemed that you have given up all the resources you have obtained. Candidates can arrange their own time to enter Examination Room No. 6."

　　All the rules had been explained, and General Hu Pen immediately waved his hand, and more than 30 rays of light shot towards everyone. Raising his hand to catch the rays, Zhou Yun took a quick look and knew that it was a ring, the same as the one issued during the previous assessment.

　　"Disband!"

　　All matters had been announced, and General Hupeng gave a low shout, and the tiger-shaped beast under him whimpered twice, turned around and ran away. All the red-clad soldiers also quickly evacuated and returned to their posts.

　　As soon as the crowd dispersed, Li Fengyun walked directly into the ancient training chamber not far away without even making eye contact with Zhou Yun.

　　"Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun, you have to take me with you this time." The crowd had dispersed in twos and threes. After Li Xiaoxiao heard the content of this assessment, she immediately ran towards Zhou Yun happily. In her opinion, such an assessment was the best, and she could go out with Zhou Yun again.

　　Shaking his head helplessly, Zhou Yun was just about to speak.

　　Li Wanqiu, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and said, "Xiaoxiao, you don't have to participate in this assessment, and Zhou Yun can't take you with him."

　　"Why?" Hearing Li Wanqiu's words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately pouted in grievance.

　　With a calm expression, Li Wanqiu spoke slowly, "Even if it was Zhou Yun, he wouldn't be able to escape unscathed after entering Examination Room No. 6. If he took you with him, you would definitely die. Don't think I'm exaggerating."

　　As soon as Li Wanqiu's words came out, Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao's expressions changed immediately.

　　What exactly is this examination room number six?

　　Judging from the numerical ranking, this examination room should have been the final examination room for the Shenwei Training Camp. However, due to such a big accident that happened in Examination Room No. 1, the next four examination items were directly changed.

　　However, the project in Examination Room No. 6 as the final item remained unchanged.

　　"Zhou Yun, remember, don't bring Xiaoxiao in. Also, this is the last test. If you want to beat me, work hard. I will spend 400 hours in the ancient practice chamber in the living area before entering the examination room." After giving the final instructions, Li Wanqiu turned around calmly and walked into the ancient practice chamber on the side.

　　Chapter 157: Heavenly Demon Disintegration Divine Art

　　"Zhou Yun, what should we do?" Li Wanqiu had already walked away. Li Xiaoxiao, who originally wanted to go for training with Zhou Yun, immediately pulled Zhou Yun's sleeve and spoke.

　　After thinking silently for a moment, Zhou Yun said, "Xiaoxiao, I'll go by myself this time. Since the Third Princess has said that, it means that Examination Hall No. 6 is really special. The training camp has been open for a long time, and you should go home early. If you have time, you can also help me visit Jun Yao and tell her that I am doing well here."

　　In fact, when General Hu Pen said that the students could leave the training camp early, Zhou Yun was really moved because he really missed Lin Junyao.

　　But the next moment, Zhou Yun gave up the idea because he still had a lot of time left in the Ancient Cultivation Chamber and he hadn't won the first place in the Shenwei Training Camp. If he could win the first place, he would have to challenge the Wanxiang Benlei Fist.

　　No matter what, Zhou Yun cannot leave here now.

　　"Oh, if you don't take me with you to train, then I'll leave early." With a listless expression on her face, Li Xiaoxiao spoke slowly.

　　In fact, she also knew that it was not suitable for Zhou Yun to take her with him this time. Even if the danger in Examination Room No. 6 was not that great, if Zhou Yun wanted to strive for the first place, it was not suitable for him to take her with him. After all, taking care of her would definitely interfere with Zhou Yun's efficiency.

　　Suddenly, Li Xiaoxiao's somewhat depressed face radiated a burst of happiness, and she said to Zhou Yun who was about to comfort her, "Zhou Yun, don't worry, I'm fine. I won't go to Examination Room No. 6. I will leave after the time of using the ancient training chamber is up. I will go to see Jun Yao and bring good things for you."

　　"Well, thank you then." Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao was no longer in pain, Zhou Yun nodded and said, "Wait for me here. I'll help you take out the Moonlight Pearl."

　　"Okay." Li Xiaoxiao responded obediently and stood where she was, waiting for Zhou Yun.

　　He had been to the treasure house of the Shenwei Training Camp once with Li Wanqiu, and was familiar with the route. He went straight into the room where rare treasures were placed. After taking out the Moon Pearl for Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun came to the treasure house where the secret books were placed.

　　As soon as he entered the room, rows of bookshelves immediately came into Zhou Yun's sight.

　　"Body movements, combat skills, Qi training, special." Looking at the rows of secret books in front of him, Zhou Yun began to browse through them bit by bit.

　　"Sure enough, there is the Myriad Thunder Fist here." Soon, Zhou Yun saw the Myriad Thunder Fist in the combat skills column. But this Myriad Thunder Fist is a complete set of fifteen volumes, and now Zhou Yun only has one chance to choose, so it is naturally impossible to take all of them out at once.

　　In addition to the Wanxiang Benlei Fist, Zhou Yun even saw many secret manuals from the Tianlong Temple, Liangyi Shenzong, Jiange and other top sects in the Central Plains. There were even some secret methods from the Wansheng Sect and the Yingdao Sect.

　　The secrets of the shock knife, illusion knife, and speed knife that Zhou Yun had learned before are also in this secret room.

　　"The Tianyuan Dynasty really plundered a lot of good things." Looking at the rows of secret books in front of him, Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

　　There was not much time, and Zhou Yun would not look carefully at the other categories. He just browsed them roughly to let these secrets leave an impression in his mind. During this period of time, Zhou Yun had deeply felt his own ignorance.

　　"Hmm? This is the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Divine Art, a total of four volumes!" Suddenly, a set of secret books placed in a special column came into Zhou Yun's sight. The first time he saw the secret book, Zhou Yun had a familiar feeling.

　　Because, after Zhou Yun killed Han Long in the battle in Xiqing Town, he got such a secret book from Han Long. At that time, Han Long forcibly stimulated his blood and qi, and his cultivation level skyrocketed in an instant, which left a deep impression on Zhou Yun.

　　And the secret book obtained from Han Long was exactly the first volume of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skill!

　　Although Zhou Yun wanted to learn this set of skills later, he did not have time. Secondly, Zhou Yun did not know the nature of this Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skill. If the sequelae were too serious or the skills had too obvious flaws, then he could not learn it.

　　"Unfortunately, there is only the name of the exercises here, but no annotations. I don't know if it is included in the first volume of exercises I have." Looking at the set of exercises in front of him, Zhou Yun muttered to himself.

　　Then, with a slight wave of his hand, Zhou Yun immediately took out the long-forgotten secret book in the package. That secret book was the first volume of the set of Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skills in front of him.

　　After taking out the booklet, Zhou Yun immediately opened it and started reading. After browsing for a while, Zhou Yun already had a clear understanding of this set of exercises.

　　"This set of skills is actually quite good." After reading the seal on the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skill, Zhou Yun nodded silently.

　　Just as Zhou Yun thought, this Heavenly Demon Disintegration Divine Art is a set of exercises that can forcibly improve one's cultivation level at critical moments. The secret method in the first volume can allow a warrior to double his or her skills within three minutes, but it will take a month to recover after the exercise is completed, and it will also damage some of the vitality.

　　The secret method in the second volume allows a warrior to forcibly increase his power by 70% within six minutes. After the power is used, it will take 20 days to recover and will cause some damage to the warrior's vitality.

　　The secret method in the third volume allows a warrior to increase his power by 50% within fifteen minutes. It will take ten days to recover after the power is fully exerted, but it will not damage the vitality.

　　The secret method in the fourth volume allows a warrior to forcibly increase his power by 30% within one hour. It takes three days to recover after the power is used up, and it will not damage his vitality.

　　Although from the outside, the improvement of this set of Heavenly Demon Disintegration Divine Art becomes smaller as it progresses to the later levels, but Zhou Yun has experienced so many battles that he can fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of this technique.

　　Take the fourth level of secret technique for example, although the improvement is only 30%, even if it is 30%, it plays a huge role in the battle between masters. The most important thing is that the 30% improvement in power can last for a very long time, as long as an hour, and it is not difficult to repair and will not damage the vitality.

　　Moreover, this complete set of Heavenly Demon Disintegration Divine Art has four levels in total. Warriors can choose the extent of power improvement at any time according to the current situation, which is extremely flexible.

　　It can be said that this is a set of secrets to save your life!

　　"This set of secret techniques is really good. After the last assessment of the Shenwei Training Camp is completed, I should have three more chances to choose treasures. At that time, I will take down the last three volumes of this set of secret techniques and combine them with the first volume in my hand to form a powerful set of secret techniques." Zhou Yun put away the first volume of the techniques in his hand and muttered to himself.

　　Having made up his mind, Zhou Yun didn't waste any more time. Putting down the secret book, he turned and walked towards the area of ​​body movement.

　　"Eight Trigrams Steps, Divine Movement Technique, Shadowless Technique, Overlord Step..." Walking in the area where the body movement secrets were placed, Zhou Yun looked at the secrets placed on the bookshelf in front of him one by one.

　　Now that Li Wanqiu is not here, he has not taught Zhou Yun the pros and cons of these secret books. Looking at the secret books in front of him, Zhou Yun began to think.

　　"The Pneumatic Step should be agile. Although it's not that great, after the improvement, it's barely enough to match my current true power. The Shadowless Technique should also be agile. Even if it's more useful, it's the same as my Pneumatic Step, so I won't consider it. The Eight Diagrams Step should be a weird step. The Divine Movement Technique should be a speed step. And the Overlord Step, what is this?" Looking at the secret books in front of him, Zhou Yun began to guess their types based on the names of these footwork secrets.

　　Standing there, Zhou Yun thought quietly.

　　"Footwork exists to complement martial arts. My greatest advantage now is my strong true strength. Whether it's the secret of the Shaking Sword from the Shadow Sword Sect or the Myriad Things Thunder Fist, they are all domineering techniques. If this is the case, the Overlord Step should be the most suitable technique for me." Looking at the row of techniques in front of him, Zhou Yun thought silently in his heart.

　　Combining his own combat characteristics and after a moment's thought, Zhou Yun made his own choice.

　　"Let's take this one, Overlord Step!" Zhou Yun clapped his hands, made his choice, and picked up the Overlord Step from the bookshelf.

　　After choosing this book of Overlord Steps secrets, Zhou Yun's two chances to choose treasures were used up. Without stopping, he directly put the book of Overlord Steps secrets into the space ring and turned around and walked out of the treasure house of the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　As soon as they came out of the treasure house, Li Xiaoxiao saw Zhou Yun and immediately came up to him.

　　"Here, your Moonlight Pearl." Zhou Yun took out the brocade box containing the Moonlight Pearl from the space ring and handed it to Li Xiaoxiao who walked in front of him.

　　Li Xiaoxiao took it with a red face and squinted her eyes happily, "Zhou Yun, thank you."

　　In her opinion, even if she went to get the Moonlight Pearl herself, it would not be better than having Zhou Yun give it to her.

　　Naturally, he could guess what Li Xiaoxiao was thinking from her expression. Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm going to start practicing. Remember, don't go to Examination Room No. 6. When your time in the Ancient Practice Chamber is up, just leave. There were too many accidents in the Shenwei training camp this time. Your family should be worried about you."

　　"Yeah, okay." Li Xiaoxiao nodded and spoke obediently.

　　"Then I'll go in." Zhou Yun was still not used to Li Xiaoxiao becoming so obedient. He shook his head, greeted Li Xiaoxiao, turned and walked towards the small tower where the ancient training chamber was located.

　　This time, Li Wanqiu said that it would take four hundred hours, or more than a month, before she could enter Examination Room No. 6. Since he was going to compete with Li Wanqiu, it would be fair for him to use the same amount of time as her. Li Xiaoxiao would enter Examination Room No. 6 more than a month later, so he would also enter at that time. Regardless of winning or losing, it would be absolutely fair.

　　Having made the decision, Zhou Yun greeted the red-armored soldier guarding the entrance of the small tower, then walked in calmly.

　　After winking mischievously at Zhou Yun's back, Li Xiaoxiao followed Zhou Yun and walked into the small tower.

　　Now, Zhou Yun’s ancient training chamber has been used for 510 hours, of which 360 hours were obtained this time, and the remaining 150 hours were not used after the last assessment.

　　He has already informed the soldiers guarding the small tower, and someone will remind Zhou Yun in four hundred hours.

　　Moving forward, Zhou Yun soon arrived at his own training space.

　　It was still that vast world with a slightly black tint. Sitting there, Zhou Yun adjusted his breathing and began to silently plan his training plan for the next four hundred hours in his mind.

　　Chapter 158 Li Daoxuan

　　Four hundred hours is neither long nor short. You must have a clear plan on how to practice during this period of time.

　　Sitting there, Zhou Yun first took out the boundary crystal from his space ring, and entered the boundary crystal space with his mind, allowing the condensed body in the boundary crystal space to meditate and practice on its own. After that, Zhou Yun's main body began to sit there and think quietly.

　　After thinking for a while, Zhou Yun has summed up the purpose of this practice.

　　"I don't know what the situation is like in examination room number six, but no matter what, I must learn the Overlord Step and use it proficiently. It would be best if I could also learn the first level of the Demon Disintegration Art. In case I encounter an extremely dangerous situation, my power can be doubled within three minutes, and I might get unexpected rewards." Soon, Zhou Yun had listed the first two goals that needed to be achieved.

　　Overlord Step is a skill that needs to be used in conjunction with combat. It not only needs to be learned, but also needs to be practiced. This is an option that must be given priority.

　　As the last resort to save one's life, the devil disintegration technique also needs to be learned.

　　"Then, it's about improving my own cultivation. Now I've entered the stage of training the internal organs and exchanging blood, and I've reached the middle stage in one go. The strength of my true strength has new room for improvement, so I can't give up the basic cultivation. The sooner I reach the peak of training the internal organs and exchanging blood, the sooner I'll have the chance to break through to the Martial Saint realm."

　　After thinking about it, Zhou Yun knew that these two issues were probably the most urgent ones at the moment.

　　“First, spend three hundred hours on basic training, and the last hundred hours on practicing Overlord Steps and the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Divine Art.” After sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Yun made a decision immediately.

　　Having already made a training plan, Zhou Yun did not waste any more time. He stood up and posed the posture of the Universal Thunder Pile in the ancient training chamber and the boundary crystal space, and began to condense quietly.

　　After his cultivation reached the stage of internal organ exchange, when Zhou Yun was practicing the Wanxiang Thunder Pillar, the lightning on his body was no longer as majestic as before, but became much more condensed. However, the power of this condensed lightning was much stronger than before, and now the lightning wrapped around Zhou Yun's body had a little purple light in the blue.

　　Although there was not much purple light and it only flashed occasionally, as long as the purple lightning appeared, Zhou Yun could feel that his strength would be strengthened in an instant!

　　Originally, Zhou Yun didn't know where the purple lightning came from, but as his practice progressed, he discovered that the frequency of the purple lightning on his body would increase as the strength of his true power increased.

　　After seeing this, Zhou Yun immediately stopped paying attention to the purple lightning and devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

　　Knowing his responsibility, Zhou Yun was always very dedicated in his practice. In the ten days, Zhou Yun did not change his movements even once, and was always immersed in practice. The characteristic of the Wanxiang Thunder Pillar is that the longer you practice, the better the effect will be in the later stage.

　　At this time, the purple electric light on Zhou Yun's body appeared more and more frequently.

　　In the ancient practice chamber, Zhou Yun was still practicing. At this time, Li Xiaoxiao had also finished her practice time and left the ancient practice chamber.

　　"It's time to go out." Walking out of the ancient training chamber, Li Xiaoxiao felt the sunlight above her head and couldn't help but stretching gently, stretching her beautiful body.

　　Suddenly, a sense of emptiness came over Li Xiaoxiao, making her feel a little uncomfortable. This time when she left the ancient training chamber, Li Xiaoxiao seemed to feel that there were fewer people in the Shenwei training camp. Standing on the square, Li Xiaoxiao didn't even see a single person.

　　After discovering this, Li Xiaoxiao immediately turned around and looked at the Emperor Elite List behind her.

　　"Huh? How could this happen?" Upon seeing it, Li Xiaoxiao immediately exclaimed in surprise.

　　It turned out that there were only seven people left on the Emperor's Elite List, which originally had thirty people, and she was one of them.

　　Li Wanqiu, Zhou Yun, Li Fengyun, Xie Changtian, Wuhelianshan, all of them are famous, and the last one is her.

　　"Oh my God, where did all these people go? Did they all leave?" Looking at the empty Emperor's Elite List, Li Xiaoxiao covered her mouth in surprise.

　　Such a situation has almost never occurred in any of the previous Shenwei training camps.

　　"It turns out that I'm not the only one who wants to leave. It seems that these nobles are all scared out of their wits." After showing a thoughtful look on her face, Li Xiaoxiao finally smiled.

　　All this was exactly as she had imagined. Too many people died in this Shenwei training camp. These noble young men were really scared. Except for a few people in the front row who were very confident in their cultivation and did not plan to leave, the other noble young men immediately fled out of the ancient training chamber as soon as the time was up.

　　In short, leaving now will still be considered as passing the training, so why stay and risk possible death?

　　"Zhou Yun is still the best. These so-called noble geniuses are really trash." After figuring it all out, Li Xiaoxiao showed a proud look on her face. She was proud of Zhou Yun. Although the two of them had not yet confirmed their relationship, Zhou Yun was the one she had chosen after all. The better Zhou Yun was, the more honored Li Xiaoxiao felt.

　　The Shenwei training camp is empty, and Zhou Yun might not have the chance to accompany her in the future. Looking at the empty square, Li Xiaoxiao knows that it is time for her to leave.

　　Without stopping, Li Xiaoxiao went straight through the living area and left the Shenwei training camp.

　　After passing through a long passage, Li Xiaoxiao finally walked out of the huge door.

　　The Shenwei training camp is completely different from the outside world. More than three months have passed, and Li Xiaoxiao is still a little uncomfortable coming out suddenly. But soon, when she saw the carriage with the word "Jin" in the distance and the handsome young man standing in front of the carriage, a bright smile immediately appeared on Li Xiaoxiao's face.

　　In front of the carriage of Prince Jin's palace in the distance, a man in white clothes, about twenty-four or twenty-five, was standing there quietly. Both his clothes and accessories were very simple, but he gave people a feeling of being outstanding, as if he stood proudly in the world.

　　"Brother!" Li Xiaoxiao cheered and opened her arms and ran towards the figure in white in the distance. The man in white was none other than the son of Prince Jin, Li Daoxuan.

　　With a gentle smile on his face, the young man opened his arms to welcome the happy Li Xiaoxiao.

　　Throwing herself into Li Daoxuan's arms, Li Xiaoxiao acted coquettishly for a moment before loosening her arms. However, her little hands were still holding the hands of the man in white in front of her, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

　　"Brother, why are you here? Isn't the army busy?" After the celebration, Li Xiaoxiao immediately started chatting happily with her brother.

　　Scratching Li Xiaoxiao's nose, Li Daoxuan said, "I heard that you fell in love with a boy in the Shenwei training camp. After I received the news, I naturally came back to take a look."

　　Li Xiaoxiao's face immediately turned red after hearing what Li Daoxuan said, but her expression still revealed a sense of happiness, "Brother, he is a very powerful person, and he is very good to me."

　　As they were talking, the two of them had already boarded the carriage of Prince Jin's mansion. The door closed and the carriage drove towards the capital.

　　"Really? Then I'll have to help you screen him after he comes out. You are the jewel in the crown of our Prince Jin's Mansion, you can't just marry anyone casually." Li Daoxuan said with a warm smile on his face.

　　Li Xiaoxiao raised her little head proudly and said, "That's natural. Are you still worried about your sister's judgment?"

　　Looking at Li Xiaoxiao's naughty look, Li Daoxuan could only shake his head helplessly.

　　Suddenly, as if remembering something, Li Xiaoxiao's bright eyes turned and she said, "Brother, please send me to the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion first."

　　Upon hearing Li Xiaoxiao's words, Li Daoxuan's face immediately showed a gloomy expression, but this gloomy expression was quickly covered up by him, "What are you doing over there?"

　　"Go visit Junyao. I haven't seen her for a long time. I still have a lot to talk to her about. Brother, you don't know, I have also experienced a lot of wonderful things in recent months." Keeping Zhou Yun's words in mind, Li Xiaoxiao naturally went there as soon as she left the Shenwei training camp to report her safety to Lin Junyao.

　　"Okay, I'll take you there." Li Daoxuan nodded with a smile, suppressed the depression in his heart, stroked Li Xiaoxiao's hair, and spoke gently.

　　It took more than an hour for the carriage of Prince Jin's family to arrive at the gate of the Lin family mansion in the eastern district of Shangjing City.

　　Seeing that it was the carriage from the Prince's Palace, the warriors at the gate of the Lin family immediately came out to greet it respectfully. At the same time, a warrior was left behind to run into the courtyard to report the news.

　　The door of the carriage opened, and Li Xiaoxiao and Li Daoxuan got out of the carriage one after another.

　　"Greetings to Prince Jin and Princess Yuling." Seeing the two of them, the Lin family's guards immediately saluted respectfully with their fists clasped.

　　"No need to be polite." With a smile on her face, Li Xiaoxiao said, "I'm here to find Jun Yao. Is she here? Take me to find her."

　　Although she didn't come here often, Li Xiaoxiao would always come to the Lin family two or three times a year. She was familiar with everything here, and even the guards at the door had been memorized by Li Xiaoxiao. As soon as she got off the car, Li Xiaoxiao spoke casually.

　　"The princess is at home, please come in." Nodding respectfully, the Lin family's guard warrior spoke and made a gesture of invitation to the two.

　　"Princess?" Upon hearing the warrior's words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately became confused.

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's expression, the warrior from the Lin family immediately explained, "Princess Yuling, you don't know, but after this year's Lanting Festival, my young lady has been canonized as a princess by the Queen Mother, and her title is Yuyao." While speaking, the warrior from the Lin family had a hint of pride on his face.

　　Generally, those who can be named as princesses are mostly girls from princely families, or at the very least, royal families. It is very rare for a girl from a duke's family to be named as princesses. Although the real inside story of Lin Junyao's canonization is unknown, in the eyes of everyone, this matter is the supreme honor of the Lin family.

　　"Really?" Upon hearing the warrior's words, Li Xiaoxiao immediately became happy, "This is great, Jun Yao has also become a princess, and the first character of her title is the same as mine. Take me to see her quickly!"

　　"Yes, please follow me." Nodding, the warrior immediately took Li Xiaoxiao and Li Daoxuan inside.

　　Chapter 159 Li Xiaoxiao's Envy

　　A warrior was sent to guide Li Xiaoxiao and Li Daoxuan, and the three of them soon arrived at the courtyard where Lin Juntian lived.

　　Although it has been almost a month since the forced marriage, Lin Juntian still couldn't let go of his sister and wanted her to stay with him.

　　The news that Li Xiaoxiao and Li Daoxuan were coming to visit had spread to the courtyard, and Lin Juntian, Fang Xueyin, and Lin Junyao all walked out of their rooms. After all, the two of the Li family were heirs of the royal family, and their status was indescribable, so basic etiquette must be fulfilled.

　　Soon, the five people met in front of Lin Juntian’s courtyard gate.

　　"Jun Yao! I'm here." From a distance, Li Xiaoxiao saw Lin Jun Yao in a light pink dress. With a shout of joy, Li Xiaoxiao ran up to her and hugged Lin Jun Yao.

　　"Xiaoxiao, you're out of the Shenwei training camp? How come so soon?" Lin Junyao was very happy to see Li Xiaoxiao. Li Xiaoxiao was her only close friend since she came to Beijing, and the two of them had similar interests. Of course, this similarity was only in music, but this was enough to make Lin Junyao happy.

　　"Hehe, a lot of big things happened in the Shenwei training camp this time. Those cowards were scared out of their wits, so we can leave the training camp early. It's boring for me to stay there alone, so I came out." Holding Lin Junyao's hand, Li Xiaoxiao said happily.

　　The two girls were chatting happily, completely ignoring the other three people.

　　Standing there, Li Daoxuan's eyes stayed on Fang Xueyin, and the emotions in his eyes were very complicated. Facing Li Daoxuan, Fang Xueyin, who usually looked indifferent, also seemed a little embarrassed, as if she didn't know how to face the person in front of her.

　　"Brother Li, how come you have time to come to my place today?" After looking at Li Daoxuan and then at Fang Xueyin who seemed a little unnatural beside him, Lin Juntian finally spoke first.

　　Hearing Lin Juntian's words, Li Daoxuan also retracted his gaze from Fang Xueyin and said calmly, "Xiaoxiao came out of the Shenwei training camp and said she wanted to visit Junyao first, so I brought her here."

　　"In that case, please come in and have some tea." Nodding, Lin Juntian spoke expressionlessly.

　　No matter what, Li Daoxuan was his former love rival after all. Even now, when he saw Fang Xueyin, there was still a hint of emotion in Li Daoxuan's eyes. Fang Xueyin was also a little unnatural when facing Li Daoxuan. Under such circumstances, Lin Juntian's feelings would not be much better, and his attitude naturally became much calmer.

　　"Sorry for bothering you." Li Daoxuan bowed to Lin Juntian and walked over slowly.

　　At this time, Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Junyao also noticed the awkward relationship between the other three people. They originally wanted to say hello to Li Daoxuan to ease the awkward atmosphere, but unexpectedly, Li Xiaoxiao directly took her hand.

　　"Jun Yao, let's go in. Don't worry about those three. I have a lot of private things to tell you." Li Xiaoxiao looked coldly at Fang Xueying beside her. Without even saying hello, she directly pulled Lin Jun Yao and walked into the courtyard.

　　Being pulled by Li Xiaoxiao like this, Lin Junyao had no way to say hello. She turned around and nodded apologetically to Li Daoxuan. Lin Junyao followed Li Xiaoxiao and walked into the courtyard.

　　"Jun Yao, isn't this your brother's territory? Why are you living here now?" Li Xiaoxiao spoke immediately after pulling Lin Jun Yao into the courtyard and putting some distance between them and the three people behind them.

　　After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Lin Junyao showed a bitter smile on her face and shook her head silently. Lin Junyao led Li Xiaoxiao into the room where she lived.

　　"Jun Yao, did something happen to you?" Although she was a little nervous, that was only in her normal state. When facing the people she cared about, Li Xiaoxiao was still very sensitive.

　　Seeing Lin Junyao like this, Li Xiaoxiao knew that she must have something on her mind. As soon as she entered the room, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

　　Instead of answering Li Xiaoxiao's question, Lin Junyao asked Li Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, is Zhou Yun doing well in the Shenwei training camp?"

　　When speaking, there was a kind of hope in Lin Junyao's eyes. That look was exactly the same as the expression Zhou Yun had when he mentioned Lin Junyao in the Shenwei training camp.

　　"It seems that Zhou Yun and Jun Yao have a really good relationship." Looking at Lin Jun Yao, Li Xiao Xiao sighed helplessly. Although she liked Zhou Yun and didn't mind accompanying him with Lin Jun Yao, she still felt a little bitter when she knew that she might not be Zhou Yun's favorite person in this life.

　　"Zhou Yun is fine. I came to see you this time because Zhou Yun asked me to do so. He asked me to tell you that everything is going well for him in the Shenwei training camp. He told you not to worry and take care of yourself." Pulling Lin Junyao to sit on the small bed in the room, Li Xiaoxiao spoke to Lin Junyao.

　　Finally showing a relaxed smile on her face, Lin Junyao said slowly, "That's good. As long as Zhou Yun is okay, I'll be relieved."

　　"By the way, Xiaoxiao, I heard from my brother that you encountered great danger in the Shenwei training camp. Are you okay?" Suddenly, thinking of the previous letter, Lin Junyao asked immediately.

　　Although she already knew that Zhou Yun was fine now, Lin Junyao didn't know the situation at that time, so she still wanted to ask about it.

　　Hearing Lin Junyao mention that incident, Li Xiaoxiao also showed a smile on her face, "That time was very dangerous. In fact, I still want to apologize to you. The reason why Zhou Yun was injured was actually to save me."

　　Li Xiaoxiao had some thoughts in mind when she said this. She wanted to see how Lin Junyao would react after hearing that Zhou Yun risked his life to save her.

　　With a slight smile, Lin Junyao raised her head slightly, a look of reminiscence appeared on her face, and she said slowly, "I know that Zhou Yun is that kind of person, very silly, but very reliable."

　　Seeing that Lin Junyao didn't seem angry at all, Li Xiaoxiao was finally speechless. These two people were really a strange pair.

　　At this point, Li Xiaoxiao no longer had any desire to compete with Lin Junyao. As long as she could be with Zhou Yun in the future, even if she couldn't be the most important person in his heart, it would be a good result.

　　"Jun Yao, did anything happen to you in the days after the Lanting event?" After a moment's silence, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly asked Lin Jun Yao.

　　A look of surprise flashed across her eyes, and Lin Junyao's expression changed slightly, but she still spoke out, "There is indeed something, but how did you know? Isn't the Shenwei Training Camp not allowed to receive any external information?"

　　As soon as she saw Lin Junyao's expression, Li Xiaoxiao knew that what she said was probably right. With a sigh, Li Xiaoxiao said, "Actually, Zhou Yun told me."

　　"Zhou Yun? How did he know?" Lin Junyao looked confused and didn't quite understand what Li Xiaoxiao meant.

　　With a look of reminiscence on her face, Li Xiaoxiao said, "We were practicing together that day, and Zhou Yun suddenly woke up from his practice state and told me that you might be in danger. I didn't believe it at the time, but Zhou Yun told me that he must be right, he could feel it. After waiting for a while, he told me that although you were in danger, it was not a big problem. Otherwise, I'm afraid Zhou Yun would have wanted to rush out of the Shenwei training camp to save you."

　　After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Lin Junyao immediately froze there. Then, a happy expression appeared on her face, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

　　Only at this moment did she truly realize how important she was in Zhou Yun's heart.

　　The waiting over the past few months and the grievances she had felt when being forced by the Queen, all these grievances were completely gone when Lin Junyao knew that Zhou Yun could feel her condition in the Shenwei training camp.

　　"Jun Yao, you are so happy." Looking at Lin Jun Yao's smiling face, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh.

　　"Xiaoxiao, you will be happy too." Lin Junyao spoke softly with a calm smile.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's calm expression, Li Xiaoxiao struggled for a long time and finally mustered up the courage to speak.

　　"Jun Yao, actually, I also like Zhou Yun. Can you... agree with us?"

　　"Ah...!" Upon hearing Li Xiaoxiao's words, Lin Junyao immediately opened her mouth in surprise.

　　In the side room of the courtyard, two girls, Lin Junyao and Li Xiaoxiao, were chatting about their own topics.

　　However, the three people sitting in the main hall were speechless. No matter whether it was Li Daoxuan, Lin Juntian or Fang Xueying, they all felt extremely awkward at the moment.

　　After the fragrant tea was served, the three of them just drank it silently, and no one knew how to start talking.

　　After finishing the tea, Fang Xueyin finally spoke first, "Daoxuan, how are you doing over there?"

　　Although they have never been together, Fang Xueyin and Li Daoxuan were indeed very likely to be together back then, and Lin Juntian was the latecomer. Although Fang Xueyin has chosen Lin Juntian now, she will not change her name against her will.

　　Even if they are old friends, there will be no problem in calling them by their names.

　　"The situation is not very good. The power of those Persians is still very strong. In addition, their land area is several times larger than ours, and their population is also large, so it is naturally difficult to deal with them. However, the only passage is still in our Tianyuan Dynasty. In addition, with the presence of General Shenwei, even if those Persians have intentions, they will have no way to deal with them for the time being." Fang Xueying finally brought up the topic, and Li Daoxuan was happy to answer accordingly.

　　However, his words made Lin Juntian somewhat confused.

　　However, Fang Xueyin understood what Li Daoxuan said. She nodded and said, "Persia's problem is indeed difficult, but it is now in a better situation. After all, the most chaotic place is still in the South China Sea."

　　With a slight smile, Li Daoxuan said, "I'm not too worried about the problem in the South China Sea. After Zhou Yun comes out of the Shenwei training camp, he should be sent to the South China Sea by you. He should be able to solve the problem in the South China Sea."

　　Upon hearing Li Daoxuan's words, Lin Juntian laughed as if he had encountered something funny. "Zhou Yun? Can he solve the problem of the South China Sea? Just relying on his cultivation of internal organs and blood exchange?"

　　"Brother Lin is a civil servant after all, so he may not know much about these things." Li Daoxuan smiled and said calmly, "Zhou Yun's potential is unprecedented in my life, and his future achievements are limitless. Moreover, my sister has taken a fancy to him. Since he will become the son-in-law of Prince Jin's mansion in the future, we will naturally give him some help within our capacity."

　　After the first sentence came out, although Lin Juntian was a little dissatisfied, he still suppressed it. However, the next sentence completely changed Lin Juntian's expression.

　　Chapter 160 Only Two Left

　　"Brother Li, I'm afraid you don't know that Zhou Yun is the future husband chosen by my sister Jun Yao a long time ago. I'm afraid he and Princess Yuling are not destined to be together." Lin Juntian said with a cold face.

　　In fact, after Fang Xueying talked to him that day, Lin Juntian was no longer so resistant to this matter, but he still disliked Li Daoxuan's attitude.

　　"Haha, is that so?" Seeing that Lin Juntian's mood had changed, Li Daoxuan stopped chasing him. After asking with a smile, Li Daoxuan stopped talking, poured himself a refill of tea, and began to taste the tea again without saying a word.

　　"Hmph!" Seeing Li Daoxuan like this, Lin Juntian snorted heavily and stopped talking.

　　The three people in the hall were once again in an awkward situation, while in the side room, Lin Junyao and Li Xiaoxiao were still talking about their own topics.

　　After the initial surprise, Lin Junyao looked at Li Xiaoxiao and said slowly, "Xiaoxiao, why do you have this idea?"

　　Facing Li Xiaoxiao's request, Lin Junyao didn't know what to say. She naturally knew that it was impossible for a prince of the Tianyuan Dynasty to have only one wife. Even his father had three wives, but they all died early.

　　But now she and Zhou Yun haven't gotten married yet, and Li Xiaoxiao has come out. Lin Junyao naturally feels uncomfortable.

　　Naturally seeing Lin Junyao's thoughts, Li Xiaoxiao said apologetically, "Junyao, I didn't want to do this either. If I had known your relationship earlier, I would not have had such thoughts. But there is nothing I can do now. When we first met in the Black Dragon Mountains, I felt that Zhou Yun was very special. Later, in Xiqing Town, I rescued him, but he still didn't tell me his name. But I already had a good impression of him at that time. This time, after entering the Shenwei training camp and going through so many things, my thoughts are very certain."

　　"Did you save him in Xiqing Town?" Although Zhou Yun did not elaborate on this matter, Lin Junyao still knew about it. Now that she heard that it was Li Xiaoxiao who saved Zhou Yun's life at that time, Lin Junyao immediately asked in surprise.

　　"Yeah, at the beginning I thought he was annoying." With a look of reminiscence on her face, Li Xiaoxiao told Lin Junyao clearly about her encounter with Zhou Yun in the Black Dragon Mountains, the bloody battle in Xiqing Town, and the battle in the Jieying Square.

　　Listening to Li Xiaoxiao's story, Lin Junyao gradually became lost in thought. She had always known that Zhou Yun had endured a lot of suffering and experienced many difficulties in order to be with her, but she had never imagined that Zhou Yun would encounter so many life-and-death crises in just a few months.

　　Li Xiaoxiao was an eyewitness to these events, so her personal account was naturally much more truthful. For a moment, Lin Junyao was distressed when she heard it.

　　It was not until Li Xiaoxiao finished telling what happened in the reception square that Lin Junyao sighed silently. After knowing that Zhou Yun had gone through so much hardship in order to be with her, what else could Lin Junyao say?

　　Holding Li Xiaoxiao's hand, Lin Junyao looked up and asked, "Xiaoxiao, have you told Zhou Yun about this? What is his attitude?"

　　"He refused." Li Xiaoxiao said with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

　　"Reject?" Lin Junyao was immediately confused when she heard Li Xiaoxiao's words.

　　With a bitter smile, Li Xiaoxiao quickly suppressed the grievance in her heart, and said to Lin Junyao with a smile, "Yes, he said that he hasn't married you yet, and he won't consider other things. That's why I came to beg you. I can see that Zhou Yun still has some feelings for me. Although not like he does for you, he doesn't resist me. As long as you agree, he will definitely marry me."

　　With a flattering smile on her face, Li Xiaoxiao shook Lin Junyao's hand and said, "Originally, I am the daughter of a prince and a princess. I am also older than you, so it is not easy for me to be a junior. But now that you are also a princess, there is no such problem. If Zhou Yun can become a noble of the middle third rank in the future, then we will both be wives. If he can become a noble of the upper third rank, then you will be the princess and I will still be the wife. This way we can always be together, okay?"

　　Although Li Xiaoxiao's words were meant to please, her expression was innocent and full of desire.

　　Smiling and shaking her head, Lin Junyao said, "Let me think about it, Xiaoxiao. I really can't agree to this matter so readily. At least, we have to wait until Zhou Yun comes back."

　　There was a slight disappointment on her face, but Li Xiaoxiao quickly recovered, "It's okay, as long as you don't reject it right away. If you say no, Zhou Yun will definitely listen to you."

　　After shaking Li Xiaoxiao's hand, Lin Junyao didn't say anything more. The two girls just sat together quietly, each thinking about their own thoughts.

　　The visit to Lin Junyao has come to an end. Although there was no result in the end, Li Xiaoxiao was still satisfied. At least, Lin Junyao did not refuse it outright.

　　After returning to her own residence, Li Xiaoxiao began to calm down. She practiced and read books as usual every day, and her life returned to peace.

　　Time passed little by little, and Zhou Yun's four hundred hours of training time in the Shenwei Training Camp was almost up.

　　Sitting there quietly, Zhou Yun's body was constantly flashing with purple electric light. Holding the secret book of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique in his hand, Zhou Yun quietly recorded the words on the secret book in his mind.

　　“This Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique is not that difficult. It is just a simple formula. If you circulate your true energy according to this formula, your Qi and blood will flow backwards. Although it will cause some damage to your vital energy, it can indeed allow a warrior to burst out with powerful combat power in a short period of time.” Although he did not actually practice the technique, with Zhou Yun’s current level of cultivation and looking at the words recorded in the secret book, Zhou Yun can already simulate the state of this technique being activated in his meridians.

　　In the past few days, Zhou Yun has practiced for a full three hundred hours. Although his cultivation has not yet reached the peak of internal organ exchange, his true strength has once again reached a new high. He has also made great progress in the practice and application of Overlord Steps. Now, Zhou Yun has also studied the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skill to the point of perfection.

　　It can be said that Zhou Yun has basically achieved all the goals that needed to be achieved in the ancient training chamber this time.

　　"Zhou Yun, four hundred hours have passed." Suddenly, a stereotyped voice came from the black world where Zhou Yun was.

　　Hearing this voice, Zhou Yun immediately put the secret book of the Demon Disintegration Skill into his space ring, and then stood up.

　　"It's time to go out." Zhou Yun whispered after feeling the tremendous power in his body.

　　Suddenly, a powerful force burst out from Zhou Yun, who was originally standing there calmly. Balls of electric light began to swim on the surface of Zhou Yun's body, mixed with brilliant purple electric light!

　　Mobilizing the strength of the true energy in his body to the maximum, Zhou Yun suddenly shouted!

　　"Thunder strike!"

　　boom!

　　As Zhou Yun punched out with one fist, a blue and purple light immediately surged out and hit the ground heavily at the far end. Suddenly, a large pit about four or five meters deep was blown out on the ground.

　　Very satisfied with the power of his attack, Zhou Yun nodded silently, turned and left.

　　After passing through the long and dark passage, Zhou Yun walked out of the ancient training chamber.

　　As soon as he left the secret room, Zhou Yun immediately felt that there was another person standing next to him. She was dressed in white and had a beautiful face, like a snow lotus left in the world. It was the third princess of the dynasty, Li Wanqiu.

　　"Third Princess." Seeing the woman next to him, Zhou Yun immediately saluted respectfully.

　　"Let's go." Nodding to Zhou Yun, Li Wanqiu took the first step and walked towards the assessment area.

　　Although the two will inevitably be competitors in this final assessment, it is still possible for them to go to the examination room together.

　　Following Li Wanqiu, Zhou Yun clearly felt the different aura of Li Wanqiu. Usually, when Li Wanqiu was with her, she was caring and helpful, and she also supported Zhou Yun a lot.

　　But now, the aura of Li Wanqiu was a little cold, as if he had regarded him as his opponent.

　　After a brief thought, Zhou Yun realized that Li Wanqiu really regarded him as an opponent. Looking at Li Wanqiu walking quietly in front of him, Zhou Yun's heart also rose with a burning emotion.

　　Since he entered the Shenwei training camp, Li Wanqiu has always been superior. Now, more than four months have passed, and Zhou Yun has finally caught up with Li Wanqiu. Now, facing the last assessment, Li Wanqiu has really begun to take Zhou Yun seriously.

　　"This is the last test, so let's try our best. Whether or not I can get the full set of Wanxiang Benlei Fist depends on this time!" Silently, Zhou Yun clenched his fists and spoke in his heart.

　　The two did not exchange any words along the way. After walking for more than an hour, they finally stood in front of the entrance of the examination room No. 6. Completely different from the previous examination rooms, the examination room No. 6 was completely shrouded in a mysterious fog. In front of the fog, there was a boundary marker with the words "Examination Room No. 6" written on it, and there was nothing else.

　　roar!

　　Sensing the two people coming, a roar of a wild beast immediately came from the fog.

　　Then, a majestic tiger-shaped beast walked out of the fog. General Hupeng, wearing a mask, sat on the beast, looking at Li Wanqiu and Zhou Yun quietly.

　　"Now, there are only two of you left in the Shenwei training camp, so, only the two of you will go to examination room No. 6 for the test." After a brief silence, General Hu Pen's voice finally came out from behind the mask.

　　Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun's face immediately showed a bit of surprise. When he looked up, he found that there were only two names left on the Emperor Elite List standing deep in the Shenwei Training Camp!

　　The first one is Li Wanqiu, and the second one is Zhou Yun himself!

　　"Examination Room No. 6 is special. You may not be able to escape unscathed after entering it. Moreover, if you want to enter Examination Room No. 6, you must abide by the rules there. This is a detailed explanation of the situation in Examination Room No. 6. After entering the examination room, everything must be done according to the requirements in this booklet." While speaking, General Hu Pen waved his hand, and immediately, two booklets flew towards Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu respectively.

　　"Okay, you guys take a look at the rules of Examination Room No. 6 here, and then go in on your own." Seeing the two of them taking the booklet, General Hu Pen left a word, then rode the tiger into the hazy fog again.

　　Chapter 161 Void Passage

　　General Hu Pen had already left, and only Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu were left in front of the fog.

　　Without checking the booklet, Li Wanqiu said to Zhou Yun, "I know the situation in Examination Room No. 6, so I won't look at this booklet. I'll go in first, but you should take a good look at everything in this booklet. We should enter from different entrances. Remember, be careful. Xiaoxiao doesn't want anything to happen to you."

　　After listening to Li Wanqiu's instructions, Zhou Yun nodded seriously.

　　"Thank you, Third Princess. I will be careful."

　　"Yeah." Li Wanqiu responded calmly, turned around and walked into the fog.

　　Watching Li Wanqiu's back disappear in the mist, Zhou Yun couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. It seems that there are really many secrets on the Tianyuan Continent, and as a member of the royal family, Li Wanqiu knows these secrets much better than he does.

　　However, Zhou Yun believed that these gaps would gradually disappear as his cultivation level improved. You know, before entering the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun knew nothing about things like Realm Crystals. He even thought that the Martial Saint was the strongest being in the world. But now these common senses have already been broken by Zhou Yun himself.

　　Putting these thoughts aside, Zhou Yun opened the booklet in his hand and began to browse through it.

　　"Examination Room No. 6 is the top secret of the Tianyuan Dynasty. Nothing in the examination room can be leaked. Violators will be punished!" When Zhou Yun saw the first sentence on the booklet, he immediately felt a heavy atmosphere.

　　Calming his mind, Zhou Yun took a deep breath and began to look through the contents.

　　"Examination Hall No. 6 is another continent adjacent to the void of our Tianyuan Continent, called the Black Flame Continent. It is several times as vast as the Tianyuan Continent, with abundant resources, four countries coexisting, and many experts. The passage to Examination Hall No. 6 was established by General Shenwei himself by breaking the void. There are three exits in total. They are located on the three peaks of the Three Sacred Mountains in the extreme north of the Black Flame Continent. After passing through the void road, the examinees will fall into the three peaks of the Three Sacred Mountains."

　　The booklet described in detail what happened in Examination Room No. 6. The more Zhou Yun read, the more frightened he felt!

　　Only then did he completely believe the legend of the so-called boundary crystal. Judging from the information in this booklet, this examination room No. 6 should be a highly developed boundary crystal. It is adjacent to the Tianyuan Continent and its area is several times larger than that of the Tianyuan Continent. However, there are no masters like the Great General Shenwei in it, so the people in this world should not know the various secrets of the void world and the boundary crystal.

　　But even so, there are definitely many masters in this world, and there are also many who surpass the Martial Saint.

　　The substance produced in this world called Black Flame Crystal is the Holy Spirit Stone mentioned in this final assessment.

　　According to the information revealed in this booklet, the Three Sacred Mountains of the Black Flame Continent are connected to a dynasty called the Northern Zhou Dynasty. This dynasty had a very large territory, and every minister who had made contributions in history would be granted a title of nobility. Each marquis had his own fiefdom, which created more than seventy small countries in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

　　The Holy Spirit Stone can be obtained in these small countries, but how to obtain it depends on personal ability.

　　The appearance and language of the people in the Black Flame Continent are no different from those in Middle-earth. According to the arrangements in the booklet, if Zhou Yun can escape from the Three Sacred Mountains safely and meet human beings, he can claim to be an adventurous warrior from the Liuyun Kingdom. Since the Liuyun Kingdom is located in a remote area and has few enemies, a lot of trouble can be avoided.

　　"It seems that this assessment is not that easy." Soon, Zhou Yun finished reading everything in the booklet. He also had a new understanding of the difficulty of this assessment.

　　Generally speaking, the level of military development of the Black Flame Continent is not as good as that of the Tianyuan Continent, otherwise it would not have been quietly opened up by someone without anyone knowing. But to say that there are no masters in the Black Flame Continent is also a joke.

　　At least, there are many powerful beasts in the Three Sacred Mountains, and it is not certain whether we can get out safely.

　　“If it were in the past, there might really be some danger, but now the mysterious veins in my body have gained power, and the range of my spiritual perception has become very wide. If I encounter danger, I can just go around it.” After closing the booklet, Zhou Yun’s heart was at peace.

　　After calming himself down, Zhou Yun walked straight into the fog.

　　He kept moving forward for more than an hour before a whirlpool appeared in front of Zhou Yun.

　　As he approached the vortex, Zhou Yun immediately felt the power in the mysterious vein in his body begin to stir. It was as if the matter in the vortex and the power in the mysterious vein in Zhou Yun's body had a mutual attraction effect.

　　"It seems that the power in this mysterious vein really comes from the void." Recalling the situation when he was injured by the three-eyed demon eagle, Zhou Yun gradually made a judgment in his heart. The power in the mysterious vein is usually very silent and quiet, but it will become agitated when it encounters the power of the void. This is enough to explain the problem.

　　Although he felt that the power in the mysterious veins in his body had become restless, Zhou Yun had no way to practice it and didn't know how to practice.

　　Not knowing what would happen in the whirlpool, Zhou Yun took a deep breath, made preparations, and then resolutely stepped into the whirlpool.

　　call!

　　As Zhou Yun entered the vortex, his entire body began to spin irregularly. Fortunately, Zhou Yun had prepared himself before that, otherwise, this rotation alone would have been enough to make him uncomfortable.

　　Calming his mind, Zhou Yun relaxed his body and ignored the dizzy feeling.

　　At the same time, Zhou Yun did not forget to open his spiritual sense, wanting to feel what was happening around him.

　　After sensing it, Zhou Yun immediately realized that he was in a pipe-like passage, constantly surging forward. However, Zhou Yun could not feel anything outside the circular pipe!

　　Zhou Yun didn't expect that his spiritual perception would be useless here. He was shocked and opened his eyes immediately.

　　Although his body was still spinning wildly, Zhou Yun could still vaguely see the situation around him.

　　As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhou Yun was immediately stunned by the scene before him. What kind of scene was this?

　　The passage was a light black color that was almost transparent, and outside the passage was an endless void, a gray haze. Sometimes, in this grayness, you could see some small dots of light shining in various colors. There were so many of these small dots! The ones that were in front of you seemed to be right in front of you, and the ones that were far away were almost invisible to Zhou Yun!

　　"Is this the world of void?" Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he rushed forward rapidly!

　　At this time, Zhou Yun saw the end of the tubular passage deep inside him!

　　In the gray void, this tubular passage is directly connected to a small spot of light at the far end.

　　"It seems that this void channel can only be connected after someone breaks through the void." Although his body was moving frantically, Zhou Yun still saw all these things clearly in a very short time.

　　But the next moment, Zhou Yun was not so lucky. At this moment, the power in the entire passage suddenly became violent. Zhou Yun was even thrown into unconsciousness by this force. He only felt that his body was flowing wildly like leaves in the wind.

　　Soon, Zhou Yun could not even maintain the slightest sense. He felt a black screen in front of his eyes and lost consciousness.

　　bump!

　　Suddenly, a sharp pain came from Zhou Yun's body. Feeling this pain, Zhou Yun just woke up. As soon as he woke up, Zhou Yun felt that his mind was in a mess. His body had not recovered from the frenzy of passing through the void channel just now. Zhou Yun felt that everything was spinning and he couldn't even open his eyes!

　　"This void passage is really too terrifying!" Zhou Yun thought with fear while enduring the pain. He didn't know where he had fallen to or what dangers were around him. Zhou Yun didn't dare to lie here casually. He had to regain consciousness first.

　　With a slight turn of his right hand, a kettle immediately appeared in Zhou Yun's hand. He opened the lid and wanted to pour the water in the kettle on his head to wake himself up.

　　But I didn't expect that it hit me twice in a row, and I didn't find the right spot. Once it hit my thigh and once it hit my shoulder.

　　"Haha, I really can't even find my head right now." Feeling his own mistake, Zhou Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

　　Fighting back the dizziness, Zhou Yun's right hand moved upwards along the body little by little, and this time he finally found the exact position of the head.

　　After half a pot of water was poured on his head, Zhou Yun finally became a little more awake. Although he still couldn't get up, at least his mind was much clearer now.

　　Eager to find out the situation around him, Zhou Yun immediately released his spiritual sense. As soon as his spiritual sense was released, Zhou Yun immediately felt several powerful forces around him.

　　Feeling these powerful forces, Zhou Yun immediately restrained his breath. Although those forces were not beyond Zhou Yun's control, now was definitely not the time to take action. He couldn't even get up now, so how could he still fight?

　　Although Zhou Yun's reaction was quick, his sudden appearance still attracted the attention of a force only five or six hundred meters away from him. Soon, Zhou Yun felt that the force was getting closer to him.

　　"What bad luck!" With a sigh, Zhou Yun slowly moved his body and rolled towards a small pit beside him. The current situation was not suitable for fighting, so Zhou Yun had no choice but to hide first.

　　Oh!

　　Lying there quietly, Zhou Yun tried hard to regulate his breathing and restore his drowsy brain, while releasing his spiritual sense to monitor the approaching existence.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had clearly detected the source of that power through his spiritual perception.

　　It was a wild beast more than four meters long, resembling a leopard, with a slender body and full of strength. Its cultivation level was probably at the peak of organ training and blood transfusion.

　　Soon, the ferocious beast that was more than four meters long discovered Zhou Yun.

　　Oh!

　　Seeing Zhou Yun lying there motionless with a fresh scent coming from his body, the ferocious beast immediately growled excitedly and wanted to pounce on him directly.

　　Suddenly, a powerful force gushed out from Zhou Yun's body. Feeling this power, the ferocious beast's movements immediately stopped. It looked at Zhou Yun lying there with fear and did not dare to move forward again.

　　Chapter 162 People on the Black Flame Continent

　　Zhou Yun, who was lying there, was surging with a terrifying might. Feeling this might, the beast immediately stopped.

　　Feeling that the beast had stopped its movements, Zhou Yun smiled bitterly in his heart. This trick finally worked.

　　Actually, if the beast really pounced at him at this time, Zhou Yun was not sure he could resist. His mind was in a daze. Even if he fought, he could not find the target at all. Was he going to release the indiscriminate Thunder Prison?

　　If this is the case, even if this beast can be killed, I am afraid that all the beasts nearby will be attracted to him.

　　Zhou Yun maintained his majestic power. He took a deep breath. After more than a minute, Zhou Yun finally regained consciousness. He could sit up.

　　With a long sigh of relief, Zhou Yun sat up straight, and stared at the beast that had just tried to attack him.

　　With this glance, Zhou Yun had already used the intimidating force of the tiger's glare. Feeling Zhou Yun's pressure, the leopard-shaped beast showed a look of astonishment and began to slowly retreat.

　　After retreating more than ten steps, the beast turned around and disappeared in an instant.

　　"Fortunately, nothing happened." Seeing the beast leave, Zhou Yun finally felt relieved.

　　Since the Heyang Martial Arts Examination, Zhou Yun had encountered many hardships. He had been on the verge of life and death several times. But he did not expect that he would encounter such a thing again the first time he entered the Black Flame Continent.

　　The situation just now seemed calm, but in fact it was extremely dangerous. If the beast really pounced on him at that time, Zhou Yun would have no way to resist.

　　Sitting there, Zhou Yun began to slowly meditate and regulate his breathing. It was not until his body completely recovered that Zhou Yun stood up and began to observe the surrounding environment.

　　After checking, Zhou Yun found that he was near the top of a huge mountain about 4,000 meters high.

　　The mountain in front of him was always downward. Behind Zhou Yun was a cliff that was more than 300 meters high. The top of the cliff was almost covered with clouds and mist. A mysterious black vortex was faintly rotating.

　　"It seems that when I come back, I have to climb up this cliff and then jump into the black vortex." Zhou Yun thought silently, recalling the instructions in the booklet in his hand.

　　Although the cliff was more than 300 meters high, there were still some places to stand. With Zhou Yun's current cultivation level, it was not too difficult to climb up.

　　"Okay. Now it's time to go and see the Black Flame Continent. The Holy Spirit Stone on this continent is called the Black Flame Crystal. It is a kind of crystal stone. It can be named after the continent by the locals. I think it is also a very precious thing. No matter what, we must first figure out where to find the Black Flame Crystal." Zhou Yun had already decided on a way to go back. He immediately raised his eyes and looked forward. In front of the giant mountain, from high to low, there were patches of dense forests.

　　This dense forest is extremely vast. It is almost impossible to see the end. But the direction to move forward has been determined. These things are easy to do now.

　　He released his spiritual sense with all his strength. Suddenly, everything within a radius of 20 miles was covered by Zhou Yun. According to the booklet, the Three Sacred Mountains belonged to the category of holy mountains in the Black Flame Continent. Ordinary people did not dare to enter at will. Only by walking out of the Three Sacred Mountains could they see the humans of the Black Flame Continent.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately relied on his spiritual sense to travel through the dense forest.

　　Along the way, Zhou Yun consciously avoided encountering the beasts in the dense forest. But even though Zhou Yun was careful, there were still beasts that took the initiative to attack after discovering Zhou Yun.

　　Oh.

　　With a roar, a giant ape with a black body and a height of more than five meters stood in front of Zhou Yun. The giant ape's body was like a black mountain. Its eyes were red and its teeth were sharp. There was even some saliva flowing out of its open mouth. It was obvious that it regarded Zhou Yun as food.

　　After a slight sense, Zhou Yun knew that the giant ape's strength should be around the middle stage of internal organ exchange.

　　Such an opponent is no longer a match for Zhou Yun now.

　　call.

　　With the sound of a rushing wind, Zhou Yun had already passed through the road blocked by the giant ape and began to slowly descend. The giant ape that was originally blocking the road had been electrocuted into a huge piece of charcoal by the lightning power emitted by Zhou Yun.

　　Hereafter.

　　The sound of electric arcs swung was heard, and the electric light emitted by Zhou Yun immediately returned to Zhou Yun's body.

　　Although his cultivation had broken through the stage of internal organ exchange, Zhou Yun could already use his true energy to attack from outside his body. But in general, Zhou Yun would still choose to directly take back the true energy he had sent out, especially in close-range attacks. This would ensure that Zhou Yun's true energy would not be lost.

　　Moreover, even if Zhou Yun didn't use the method of attacking with his true energy, he could still attack hundreds of meters away with his full strength. It was enough for him to use.

　　After killing the giant ape, some of the surrounding beasts hiding in the dark immediately ran away in panic. Zhou Yun didn't want to cause trouble to these beasts. Feeling that they had made way for a passage, he immediately started to move forward at full speed and headed down the mountain.

　　This dense forest was extremely messy and difficult to navigate. There were all kinds of strange trees densely packed together. From time to time, ferocious beasts would rush out to attack Zhou Yun. But for Zhou Yun now, as long as they were not extremely powerful people at the peak of Yijinxisui, Zhou Yun would not be unable to deal with them.

　　I have read it in that booklet. Although there are some warriors who are beyond the level of Martial Saint on this Black Flame Continent, their number is not too large. If you really meet such a strong person, just avoid him.

　　The body moved nimbly through the dense forest. After walking for two days and two nights, Zhou Yun finally left the mountain where he was staying and entered an area where the dense forest was less dense. He believed that as long as he walked for a while longer, he should be able to leave this dense forest.

　　He hadn't slept for two days. Even though Zhou Yun had a high level of cultivation, he still had to stop and rest.

　　"After leaving this dense forest, I must first find a place with people. Only in this way can I get clues about the Black Flame Crystal. Although the booklet says that there is Black Flame Crystal on the Black Flame Continent, it does not mention where it is produced or how to get it." Sitting on a tree more than ten meters high, Zhou Yun ate some dry food with clear water while thinking silently.

　　Oh.

　　Suddenly, a roar of a ferocious beast came from the jungle ahead. Upon hearing this sound, Zhou Yun immediately put away the dry food and water in his hand, and at the same time, he spread his spiritual sense again.

　　After walking down the mountain, Zhou Yun had already put away his spiritual sense. After all, it would be very tiring if this thing was turned on for a long time. But now that he heard the strange sound, Zhou Yun decisively turned on his spiritual sense again.

　　As soon as his spiritual sense was turned on, everything within a radius of twenty miles immediately came into Zhou Yun's sensing range.

　　About 700 to 800 meters away from where Zhou Yun was, a group of seven or eight people were gathered there. In the middle, one person was fighting fiercely with a ferocious beast.

　　"It's someone from the Black Flame Continent." A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Zhou Yun immediately jumped down from the tree and walked towards that direction.

　　It has been two days since I came to Black Flame Continent. This is the first time Zhou Yun has seen someone from Black Flame Continent. He is naturally excited.

　　Silently, Zhou Yun quickly approached the group of people.

　　From afar, Zhou Yun saw the situation ahead. In an open space in the jungle, a woman in white armor was fighting a wolf beast. The howl just now should have been made by the wolf beast.

　　After sensing it, Zhou Yun found that the wolf beast should be at the initial stage of muscle training. The woman's cultivation level was similar to that of the beast, but the fighting skills she used were obviously extremely superior. However, the woman seemed unable to exert the maximum power of the fighting skills. Instead, she gradually fell into a disadvantage in the battle.

　　"Miss, this Qinghong sword technique requires accuracy and speed. When attacking, your lower body must be stable. Don't be impatient. Strive to cause damage and threats to the opponent with every strike. Between the two, accuracy comes first and speed comes second. Don't try to strike with lightning speed at the beginning. You must proceed step by step and don't be impatient." Watching the woman fighting with the wolf, a fifty-year-old man among the seven or eight followers in the back kept giving advice.

　　Under the guidance of the old man, the woman in white armor finally stopped being impatient and began to fight steadily step by step. The Qinghong sword technique was indeed a good sword technique. After the woman stabilized her body, she gradually gained the upper hand in the battle.

　　Oh.

　　Soon, after being stabbed three times in a row, the wolf beast finally showed signs of retreating.

　　After attacking twice, the wolf quickly retreated and ran towards Zhou Yun.

　　Seeing her prey trying to run away, the woman immediately chased after him with her sword in hand.

　　This time, the woman finally turned to face Zhou Yun.

　　The moment he saw the woman, Zhou Yun immediately felt his heart being slightly shaken. The woman was extremely beautiful. Her skin was as white as ice. Her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings. But what really shook Zhou Yun was not the woman's appearance. It was the determination and sadness in her expression.

　　The look on that woman's face was just like the look that her sister Zhou Xue occasionally showed when they were still in Heyang City. It was the kind of strength she showed in the face of adversity. Zhou Yun's parents passed away early. It was only with Zhou Xue's careful care that Zhou Yun could grow up peacefully.

　　Faced with such a complex environment, Zhou Xue managed to handle it all. She took care of Zhou Yun and raised her. She endured the pressure of life. She also had to bear the pain of not being able to marry the man she loved.

　　As soon as he saw the woman, Zhou Yun's softest heart was immediately touched.

　　Oh.

　　Just as Zhou Yun was lost in thought, the wolf beast suddenly turned around and pounced on the woman after running for a while.

　　"The black wolf has gone berserk. Miss, be careful." The wolf beast, which had already fallen into a disadvantage, suddenly swelled up when it attacked back. Its aura instantly rose to a new level. Sensing this change, the fifty-year-old man behind was immediately horrified. While hurriedly reminding, he rushed forward madly.

　　I have already sensed it. The old man's cultivation is only at the peak of tendon training. Now he is still 30 meters away from the center of the battlefield. For a while, there is no way to rush over.

　　Feeling the evil spirit of the black wolf, the woman in white armor also showed a panic on her face, but she still pursed her lips and went forward stubbornly.

　　"Not good." Zhou Yun was immediately shocked when he saw the woman's action. After the black wolf went berserk, its cultivation had suddenly increased to the middle stage of tendon training. If the woman pounced on it like this, she would definitely be seriously injured or even killed.

　　At the critical moment, Zhou Yun's right hand flashed. Suddenly, the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber appeared in Zhou Yun's hand.

　　brush.

　　With a strong swing, the sword immediately turned into a beam of black light and quickly penetrated the body of the black wolf.

　　boom.

　　Due to inertia, when the black wolf pounced in front of the woman, it had already turned into a corpse and fell heavily to the ground.

　　Seeing this sudden change, all the people in that team were stunned.

　　(After three months, Xiaosheng’s book is finally on the shelves. Please continue to support me. I am very grateful.)

　　Chapter 163: Mirror Lake Conference

　　She had thought that she would definitely get hurt. But she didn't expect that something like this would happen at the critical moment. Looking at the dead black wolf at her feet, the woman looked in the direction where the sword had attacked from. She wanted to find the person who saved her there.

　　At this time, the group of people following the woman immediately gathered around her with a nervous look on their faces, protecting the woman in the middle.

　　There was a solemn look in his eyes. The old man who had been instructing the woman in swordsmanship just now clasped his fists and asked in front of him. "It's not just that kind warrior who saved me. Please show yourself."

　　Seeing the old man's expression, Zhou Yun felt a little strange. Even if he suddenly met a powerful warrior in this dense forest, he felt uneasy. There was no need to be like this.

　　The old man now looked as if he was facing a great enemy. He held the sword tightly in his hand. The veins on the back of his hand were already exposed. He was obviously very nervous.

　　Seeing that the other party was already so nervous, Zhou Yun could not continue to observe secretly. He straightened his clothes and flashed out from behind a big tree.

　　After taking a few steps forward, Zhou Yun stood a dozen meters away from the far group of people. He clasped his fists and said, "I am Zhou Yun. I am from Liuyun Country. I am out for some training. I acted rashly just now because the situation was critical. I frightened this young lady. Please forgive me."

　　Seeing Zhou Yun walk out so openly, and he was still a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, the expressions on the faces of the people on the opposite side finally eased a little. Only the old man, who still looked solemn at this moment.

　　The old man took a step forward and saluted Zhou Yun. Then he spoke. "You are too kind, little hero. If you hadn't saved me just now, my young lady would have been in trouble. I have to thank you very much."

　　"Just do it. Don't worry. If possible, I will take my knife back." With a slight smile, Zhou Yun once again said to the people in front of him.

　　He did not walk over rashly. Zhou Yun had already noticed the old man's nervousness, so he told him in advance.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun being so humble and polite, the old man's expression finally returned to normal. Other warriors might not be able to see it, but he saw it clearly just now. The knife that Zhou Yun swung out was a hundred meters away and arrived in an instant. It pierced the body of the black magic wolf in one go, leaving the black magic wolf with almost no chance to resist.

　　Moreover, the force of the attack was precisely controlled. After killing the black wolf, the wolf's body immediately fell down and landed in front of their young lady, without causing any damage to her. With this ability to control force, coupled with their cultivation strength, if the young man in front of them wanted to attack, they would definitely not be able to resist.

　　Now it seems that this young man was not sent by the enemy.

　　"Of course. Please do as you please." Nodding, the old man led everyone back a few steps, but still surrounded the woman in white armor in the middle.

　　Zhou Yun walked forward, pulled out his steel knife, and put it into the space ring.

　　"Storage ring..." Seeing Zhou Yun's action, the warriors immediately showed surprise in their eyes. Whether in Tianyuan Continent or Black Flame Continent, this kind of ring that can store items is extremely precious.

　　"Haha. I got it by chance. It's not that good." Zhou Yun smiled and spoke gently.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's performance, the old man finally felt relieved. In his opinion, Zhou Yun's ability allowed him to do whatever he wanted. There was no need to go to such great lengths to target Baiyue City. After all, they were just a small city in the north of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and could not really attract the attention of major forces.

　　Having put away his sword, Zhou Yun stood up and spoke to the people in front of him. "My dear friends, although we are just casual acquaintances, I still have to advise you. If possible, do not go any deeper. The beasts behind are very powerful."

　　Zhou Yun himself had just come down from the mountain. He knew what kind of beasts were behind him. The team in front of him was not very strong. If they were allowed to continue walking, it would be really dangerous.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the old man nodded. He turned around and said to the woman in white armor, "Miss, this training has lasted for more than ten days. We are now almost at the Three Sacred Mountains. This young man is right. We should not go any further. Let's go back."

　　"Well, let's go back." Nodding, the woman looked up at Zhou Yun. A hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes. She then put the long sword back into the scabbard at her waist and walked towards the outskirts of the dense forest.

　　Seeing his young lady's actions, the old man felt a little embarrassed.

　　The other warriors followed the woman in white armor. The old man took two steps forward and stood beside Zhou Yun. "Don't blame me, little hero. My young lady is just like that. And she has been in a lot of trouble recently. Please forgive me if I am being rude."

　　"It's okay." Zhou Yun shook his head and spoke gently. The first time he saw the woman, he seemed to see Zhou Xue three or four years ago. How could he care about these things?

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's calm expression, he really didn't care. The old man immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

　　"Little hero, my young lady is the daughter of the Lord of Baiyue City. I am Bai He, your personal bodyguard." He bowed to Zhou Yun again. The old man Bai He introduced himself. He had not introduced himself because he was worried that Zhou Yun was sent by the enemy.

　　"It's Mr. Bai. You are polite. I am still young and cannot bear the title of little hero. If you don't mind, just call me by my name." He smiled politely and clasped his fists. Zhou Yun also greeted him again.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun so modest, the old man's eyes also showed admiration. He said to Zhou Yun, "Then I will be generous enough to call you Brother Zhou. I wonder if Brother Zhou has anything else to say. From the looks of it, you are also preparing to leave. It's still two or three days' journey from here to the populated areas outside. Why don't we go out together so that we can take care of each other."

　　"It's only a two or three day journey." Zhou Yun immediately thought about it after hearing Bai He's words. According to the speed of these people, they can only walk more than 200 miles in two or three days. If he walked alone, he could finish this journey in one day.

　　But now that I have just arrived in the Black Flame Continent, I am completely clueless about the situation in front of me. I have no idea what the Black Flame Crystal is or how to obtain it. Although the cultivation of this group of people is not very good, they seem to have some status. It would be good to travel with them and get some information on the way.

　　"In that case, I'm sorry to bother you." Zhou Yun smiled as he bowed to Bai He.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun agreed, Bai He immediately showed a happy expression on his face and quickly took Zhou Yun back to the team.

　　It turned out that this group of people who were training were not just eight people. Not far behind these eight people, there were five or six other followers, guarding a carriage and a dozen horses. But the cultivation of these followers was obviously not very good. They should just be responsible for doing odd jobs.

　　The woman had already boarded the carriage. Bai He also came over with a horse and handed it to Zhou Yun. "Brother Zhou, this is Zhang Wei's horse. He died yesterday while trying to protect the young lady. This horse is now free. You can ride this horse."

　　"Okay." Nodding, Zhou Yun took the reins, turned around and jumped onto the horse.

　　The preparations were complete. The team immediately headed out of the jungle. Although the trees in this jungle were lush, they were not as messy as those in the Three Holy Mountains. The carriage could still pass through it.

　　I have sensed it just now. In this group of people, including the woman, there are eight warriors who have reached the level of tendon training. Baihe has the highest level of cultivation. He has reached the peak of tendon training. The other warriors are basically in the middle stage of tendon training or the beginning stage of level training. When the carriage started to move, all the warriors dispersed and guarded in all directions of the carriage.

　　Bai He rode his horse side by side with Zhou Yun.

　　While walking, Zhou Yun suddenly felt that there was a faint force gathering in the carriage that the woman in white was riding in. After concentrating his mind and sensing it, Zhou Yun was shocked to find that the woman had actually started practicing while sitting in the carriage.

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun's curiosity was aroused. A woman, who was said to be the daughter of a certain city lord, was practicing so hard to improve herself. What was the reason?

　　"Mr. Bai, I see your team seems to be having some difficulties. Have you encountered some difficult problems?" Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately asked Bai He beside him.

　　When Bai He heard Zhou Yun's question, a melancholy expression immediately appeared on his face.

　　"Brother Zhou, to be honest, the mayor of Baiyue City, who is also my daughter's father, has been missing for more than three years. Now, Baiyue City is ownerless. The Mirror Lake Conference, which is held every three years, is about to open. If we in Baiyue City cannot send people to participate in this Mirror Lake Conference, then the owner of Baiyue City will change." Baihe sighed and said slowly.

　　Zhou Yun raised his eyebrows slightly. "Jinghu Conference. What is that?"

　　"Brother Zhou, you didn't even know about the Jinghu Conference." Bai He immediately showed a surprised expression on his face when he heard Zhou Yun's question.

　　It seems that this Jinghu Conference should be very famous.

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun quickly spoke up. "To be honest, when I was in Liuyun Country, I was always in seclusion practicing and not concerned with worldly affairs. This time I came out to gain experience and also wanted to learn more about things."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's explanation, Bai He nodded as if he had suddenly realized something. "So that's how it is. I've heard that Liuyun Country is home to many martial arts geniuses. Whenever a genius appears, it will surely shock the world. It seems that it is true. Since Brother Zhou doesn't know about the Jinghu Conference, I will explain it to Brother Zhou."

　　"Please speak, Mr. Bai." Zhou Yun said politely with a slight smile. But he was thinking in his heart. What was written in the booklet of the No. 6 examination room was indeed very useful. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty of the Black Flame Continent, Liuyun Country was indeed a mysterious country. This country never invaded other countries. And its geographical location was remote and difficult to reach. Only occasionally some strong warriors would come out to train. If you say that you are from such a country, others will not have any doubts. Sometimes Zhou Yun even wondered whether this Liuyun Country was established by General Shenwei.

　　After a brief recollection, Bai He finally began to speak. "This Mirror Lake Conference is a mysterious place that suddenly appeared hundreds of years ago. Once this mysterious place appeared, the originally peaceful Mirror Lake immediately became the focus of the Northern Zhou Dynasty warriors..."

　　Chapter 164: Chaos in the Northern Zhou Dynasty

　　As Bai He began to talk, Zhou Yun also quieted down and began to listen.

　　"The Mirror Lake was originally just an ordinary lake in the north of our Northern Zhou Dynasty. Since the northern border where we are located is the starting point of many rivers in the Black Flame Continent, there are many large lakes here. The Mirror Lake is not very famous. However, one day a hundred years ago, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the Mirror Lake. Thick fog rose on the lake surface, and in the thick fog, an image of a magnificent castle appeared. The image was very real, and there was a faint golden light shining in many windows of the castle image. Seeing this strange phenomenon, many warriors judged that there might be some treasures in the Mirror Lake."

　　"Since those days, some warriors have gone to Mirror Lake alone or in groups to find out what's going on. However, when the fog rises, there are always many powerful beasts lurking in the Mirror Lake. Nine out of ten warriors who enter the lake die there and never get out again." With a look of nostalgia in his eyes, Bai He narrated slowly.

　　Hearing this, Zhou Yun immediately asked, "Old Bai, since you said that the Mirror Lake is extremely dangerous and nine out of ten people who enter will die, then why are there so many warriors willing to take the risk?"

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, the old man immediately showed a helpless smile on his face. "People die for money. This is an eternal law. Although the Mirror Lake is dangerous, occasionally some warriors are lucky enough to return from the Mirror Lake. As long as they can get out, these warriors will all be very successful. The Mirror Lake Secret Realm not only contains profound secret books and elixirs, but also some heirlooms. You can even get the Black Flame Crystal."

　　"Black Flame Crystal..." Zhou Yun's eyes lit up immediately after hearing these words. This thing was what he needed most. Zhou Yun came to the Black Flame Continent this time for the Black Flame Crystal. He was originally thinking about how to ask Bai He about the situation of the Black Flame Crystal, but he didn't expect that he had already said it out loud.

　　"Well, that Black Flame Crystal is the most precious thing in the entire continent. Getting one is enough to transform the body and refine the body into one. Not only can the cultivation level be improved rapidly, but future cultivation bottlenecks can also be easily overcome. The king of Huo Luo, the most powerful country in our northern alliance, got a Black Flame Crystal while exploring the secret realm of Mirror Lake thirty years ago. Since then, he has soared to the sky." His face became slightly heavy. Bai He told him the purpose of the Black Flame Crystal bit by bit.

　　After hearing this, Zhou Yun also fully understood the importance of the Jinghu Conference.

　　Just as Baihe said, people die for money, birds die for food. This has been a law that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. In the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, you can not only get secret books and elixirs, but if you are lucky, you can also get things like the Black Flame Crystal. From then on, you will soar into the sky. It is no wonder that many warriors know that the road ahead is full of dangers, but they still want to sacrifice their lives to go there.

　　"The old city lord, your young lady's father, also went to the Mirror Lake Secret Realm. He never came back." Zhou Yun suddenly remembered Bai He's words and spoke immediately.

　　Nodding silently, Bai He said faintly, "Yes. After Huo Luo's ruler Luo Tian obtained the Black Flame Crystal, his power increased greatly. Several surrounding countries are no longer their opponents. Not to mention that our Baiyue City is not a country. It is just a small city."

　　"Later, Luo Tian organized a northern alliance of princes and forced everyone to join. Every time the Mirror Lake Secret Realm was opened, he would organize a Mirror Lake Conference to let people from the princely states and cities in the alliance enter the Mirror Lake Secret Realm to search for the Black Flame Crystal and secret treasures. If they failed, he would forcibly attack and kill them. As for the country or city that obtained the least secret treasures, he would submit a petition to the dynasty to request that the title of the country leader who did not do a good job be stripped. We can only do as he asks."

　　A look of astonishment appeared on his face. Zhou Yun said, "Luo Tian did this. Does the Northern Zhou Dynasty not care?"

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's astonishment, Bai He smiled sadly and said, "There are more than 70 feudal kingdoms and independent cities in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. These are the ones left after hundreds of years of fighting each other. Originally, there should be more than 300 vassal states and independent cities here. This area is desolate and vast. It takes at least a month to get to the capital from here. Moreover, the road is mountainous and watery. There are also many deserts next door. The Northern Zhou Dynasty does not want to take care of this place at all. Luo Tian is very good at dealing with people. He travels thousands of miles to pay tribute to a large amount of treasures every year. The dynasty will not punish him, but will support him."

　　After listening to Bai He's words, Zhou Yun finally understood. This place is a barren land. No matter what it becomes, the Northern Zhou Dynasty will not care. Since Luo Tian is powerful and can pay tribute to many treasures, it doesn't matter if he does whatever he wants.

　　However, this has caused great suffering to the vassal states and independent cities in the north.

　　After thinking for a while, Zhou Yun said, "Since Luo Tian's power is irresistible, why not just give the city to him? With the old city lord's wealth, it would be nice to live a comfortable life. Why give up his life for nothing?"

　　With a bitter smile, Bai He said sadly, "Brother Zhou, you are from Liuyun Country. You don't know much about the situation here. Luo Tian is not so kind. If we give the city to him, the 100,000 people in the city will suffer. Where do you think the tribute Luo Tian pays every year comes from? The old city lord loves his people like his own children. The young lady does the same. They really don't want to see the people in the city become slaves."

　　Bai He finished speaking. Zhou Yun stopped talking. Now, Zhou Yun had completely figured out the problems in this area.

　　He had seen it just now. All the warriors here, including the coachmen, showed respect to their young ladies from the bottom of their hearts. Now it seemed that this respect was indeed not without reason.

　　"I should go and take a look at this Mirror Lake Conference. No matter what, there is a Black Flame Crystal in the Mirror Lake. I absolutely cannot let it go." After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun already had a plan in mind.

　　After a brief conversation, Zhou Yun stopped talking and just followed Bai He, riding his horse forward.

　　Soon, the sky gradually darkened and the moon rose. The carriages and horses stopped in the dense forest near a stream.

　　"Brother Zhou, it's getting dark. We're going to stay here tonight. Please wait a moment. We'll set up the tents soon." Bai He stopped the convoy and spoke to Zhou Yun.

　　"It's all up to Mr. Bai to arrange. I can also help a little." With a slight smile, Zhou Yun also got off the horse. He tied his horse and began to help the people in the team set up the tent.

　　These warriors had already seen Zhou Yun's cultivation. They instinctively regarded Zhou Yun as a super master. They were extremely awed. But seeing Zhou Yun so approachable, these warriors' eyes shone with excitement.

　　Soon, with Zhou Yun's help, seven or eight tents had been set up.

　　After the tent was set up, the woman in white armor finally got off the carriage.

　　At this time, all the warriors had found their own tasks. Some were dispersed to the periphery for guarding. Some were collecting firewood to make a fire and prepare to cook. Zhou Yun was the only one left in the center of the small camp.

　　The woman got off the carriage and came to Zhou Yun. She bowed to him and said, "Thank you for saving my life just now."

　　The voice was lively and pleasant. As she spoke, the woman turned her face towards Zhou Yun. At this moment, her appearance was even more clearly reflected in Zhou Yun's eyes.

　　Under close contact, Zhou Yun could see more clearly the beautiful face of the woman that could almost make ordinary people feel distracted. Although this breathtaking beauty was hidden under the cold appearance, it still gave Zhou Yun a great shock.

　　But Zhou Yun's cultivation was already very high now. His mind was also honed to be very stable. He would not be frightened by the appearance of this woman.

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun said, "Miss, you are welcome. When you are away from home, it is natural for us to help each other. I am Zhou Yun. May I ask your name, Miss?"

　　Until now, Zhou Yun still didn't know the woman's name. This made Zhou Yun couldn't help but ask.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's frankness, the woman also showed a gentle smile on her face. In just a moment, it immediately gave people a feeling of flowers blooming.

　　"My name is Liu Xiaohan." The woman responded softly.

　　Liu Xiaohan's smile made Zhou Yun feel his heartbeat quicken. After careful consideration, her smile was indeed very similar to the smile Zhou Xue occasionally showed when she was relaxed. However, Liu Xiaohan was a little more beautiful than her sister Zhou Xue.

　　Zhou Yun was not a man who could please girls. And Liu Xiaohan was obviously worried. She didn't want to talk much. After a simple conversation, the two of them fell into a silent atmosphere.

　　At this time, Bai He, who had already arranged everything, had come back. "Brother Zhou, they are already preparing dinner. I also brought a few bottles of fine wine from my collection. We can have a good drink tonight."

　　Seeing Bai He coming over, Liu Xiaohan gave Zhou Yun a look and turned back to her tent.

　　Zhou Yun also turned around and walked towards Bai He. He smiled. "Mr. Bai has already taken out the wine from his collection. How dare Zhou Yun refuse?"

　　"Haha. Brother Zhou is really a generous person. Let's go. I saw a lot of wild mushrooms on the road just now. You can accompany me to pick some and bring them back." Although Liu Xiaohan encountered a little danger. But this danger was resolved by Zhou Yun. There was no trouble on the way back. Bai He's mood was also better. Naturally, he wanted to pull Zhou Yun to have a drink.

　　Seeing that Bai He was in a good mood, Zhou Yun also smiled and walked out with him.

　　They picked some fresh wild mushrooms. Everything in the camp was almost ready. The dinner for everyone was the meat of a wild goat. It was paired with the fresh wild mushrooms picked by Zhou Yun and Bai He. It was stewed in a little salt. It was original and delicious.

　　After dinner was ready, Bai He first put a portion in a delicate small bowl and gave it to Liu Xiaohan. Then a group of warriors sat on the ground and started to drink and eat.

　　While eating and drinking, Zhou Yun quickly became familiar with this group of people. After an hour, except for a few warriors who were preparing to keep watch at night, everyone else was drunk.

　　Although Zhou Yun drank a lot of alcohol, it had no lethal effect on him.

　　Entering his tent, Zhou Yun immediately closed his eyes and began to practice slowly.

　　It was not until midnight that Zhou Yun was awakened from his practice by the slight flow of true energy in the distance.

　　Chapter 165 Guidance

　　"Someone is still up at this time." Feeling the flow of true power, Zhou Yun slowly exhaled and ended his training. This true power was not very strong, and it could be said to be no threat to Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun naturally would not treat it as a major enemy. However, it was still necessary to go out and take a look. Standing up, Zhou Yun lifted the curtain of the tent and walked out. The whole camp was quiet. Many warriors had drunk a lot of wine and were sleeping soundly at the moment. Following the direction of the flow of true power, Zhou Yun slowly walked over. Brush, brush, brush, from a distance, Zhou Yun had heard the sound of wind brought by long swords. Looking at it, a figure in white clothes had entered Zhou Yun's sight. "It's her." Seeing that figure, Zhou Yun's footsteps stopped immediately. The girl who was still practicing sword in the forest in the middle of the night was the eldest lady of Baiyue City, Liu Xiaohan. She had changed out of the armor she wore during the day. At the moment, Liu Xiaohan was dressed in light silk clothes. Although she lacked a bit of heroic spirit, she added a touch of feminine beauty. However, at this moment, Liu Xiaohan's brows were tightly knitted. , This also made Zhou Yun determined to give them some help when he could. Thinking of this, Zhou Yun took a step forward again and walked over. "Miss Liu, it's so late, and you're still practicing."

　　Liu Xiaohan was originally practicing attentively, but when she heard Zhou Yun's words, she showed a little surprise on her face. She didn't feel anyone coming just now. Turning her head, Liu Xiaohan immediately saw Zhou Yun with a peaceful face. As a young and beautiful woman, Liu Xiaohan was very wary of all the opposite sex approaching, but she couldn't see that kind of greed in Zhou Yun's eyes. Although Zhou Yun would also look at her boldly, his eyes contained a pure concern, which also made Liu Xiaohan relax a little. "Did I wake you up?" With a slight smile, Liu Xiaohan put away her training posture, apologized to Zhou Yun, shook her head, and didn't respond to her words, but said what she meant, "Miss Liu, practicing swordsmanship now is not your best choice."

　　When Liu Xiaohan heard Zhou Yun actually talk to her about cultivation, she knew that Zhou Yun was a very powerful warrior, and immediately showed a hint of joy on her face, and asked, "But I have learned this sword technique for two months, but I still can't use it well. Shouldn't I work hard to familiarize myself with it now?"

　　After hearing what Liu Xiaohan said, Zhou Yun smiled gently, took out his Thousand Hammer Iron Saber from the space ring, stood beside Liu Xiaohan, and demonstrated to her, "Although saber techniques are different from sword techniques, no matter what weapon you use, you can't get away from the key points of fast, accurate, calm, and steady. For saber techniques, fast, accurate, and steady are very important, but the accuracy is not too high. For sword techniques, fast, accurate, and steady are extremely high, but the calmness key point is not too high."

　　"Well, that's right," after hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan nodded silently and agreed. Sword techniques generally attack with the tip of the sword, and do not require particularly heavy force to create a good effect. Therefore, speed, accuracy and stability are the most important points. Seeing that Liu Xiaohan understood what he said, Zhou Yun immediately continued to explain, "If you only launch one attack, it will not be too difficult to achieve speed, accuracy and stability at the same time. As long as you have a certain level of cultivation, you can do it. But if you want to launch consecutive attacks and make each one fast, accurate and stable, it will be very difficult. At this point, practicing sword techniques is no longer the most important thing. What is important is the practice of breath."

　　"Breath," a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. Liu Xiaohan looked at Zhou Yun in confusion. There was also a questioning look in her beautiful eyes. She raised her eyes and looked at a branch more than ten meters away. Zhou Yun suddenly exerted his strength and swung the sword in his hand quickly a few times. Suddenly, seven or eight sword lights shot out directly. Swish, swish, swish, these sword lights were emitted almost at the same time. After shooting out side by side, they immediately cut a branch at the far end into pieces and fell down. Moreover, the length of each short branch was exactly the same, without any difference. Seeing Zhou Yun's Liu Xiaohan's eyes immediately widened in amazement. Such speed and accuracy of the sword were simply unbelievable to her. "For example, if you only rely on practicing swordsmanship, you will definitely not be able to reach such a level. A person's own physical strength is sometimes limited. After reaching a certain level, if you want to go further, you need to rely on your breath, which is what we usually call true strength." Zhou Yun took a few steps forward and found another branch. He quickly drew circles on the branch with the sword in his hand. "You don't need to use your breath now." "You don't have to use any moves, but calm your mind and use the true power in your body to guide your movements. Try it again." After drawing the circles as the targets, Zhou Yun immediately walked out and said to Liu Xiaohan, "Yeah," nodded to Zhou Yun, Liu Xiaohan took a deep breath and completely calmed his breath. Suddenly, with a gleam in his eyes, Liu Xiaohan suddenly attacked, and the long sword in his hand stabbed forward quickly. Although it couldn't reach Zhou Yun's speed, it was still pretty good. After a round of stabbing, Zhou Yun looked at the target he drew, among which , the first sword hit the center of the circle, the second sword was also within the range of the circle, and the following swords were getting more and more off-center. Seeing that the effects of her swords were like this, Liu Xiaohan immediately looked at Zhou Yun with a puzzled look, waiting for an answer, "Don't ask in a hurry, now you sit down with me," with a smile on his face, Zhou Yun guided Liu Xiaohan to sit on the ground, posing with five hearts facing the sky, Zhou Yun said, "Come, adjust your breathing according to the mode of the small Zhoutian, control the flow of true energy in your body, remember, the circulation must be stable, and complete ten small Zhoutian calmly."

　　After saying that, Zhou Yun himself had taken the lead in entering a state of meditation. As soon as he entered a state of meditation, Zhou Yun's entire aura immediately changed slightly. The feeling of peace and tranquility immediately calmed Liu Xiaohan's heart. With a calm breath, Liu Xiaohan also followed Zhou Yun and began to meditate and regulate her breathing. With Zhou Yun by her side, Liu Xiaohan was extremely calm during the ten small circulations. After the ten small circulations were completed, Liu Xiaohan immediately felt some subtle changes in her body. Her eyes seemed to see things more clearly, and her feet seemed to be more stable. "Come on, calm down now and try again." Zhou Yun stood up with a smile and said to Liu Xiaohan. "Well," looking at Zhou Yun's smile, for some reason, Liu Xiaohan believed in her heart that she could do better this time than last time. She nodded, took a deep breath, and stabbed out with the sword in her hand again. Swish, swish, swish, a few sword lights flashed, and Liu Xiaohan was shocked to find that this time she had actually stabbed "This, why is that?" Liu Xiaohan looked at Zhou Yun with surprise, and her beautiful eyes also revealed a little brilliance. "It's very simple. In fact, any martial arts after reaching a certain level is not just as simple as physical training. Many movements actually rely on the breath in Dantian to complete. If you can hone your breath to be completely smooth and then become more and more powerful, then those things that you originally found difficult can be achieved naturally. I can see that your cultivation is boosted by external forces. In this case, the right way is to adjust your originally chaotic internal breath to smoothness and truly adapt to the current strength." From the shallow to the deep, Zhou Yun finally told Liu Xiaohan's problem. After listening to Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan thought silently for a moment, and finally showed an expression of sudden realization on his face. He put away the sword, Liu Xiaohan bowed slightly to Zhou Yun, and said, "Zhou Yun, thank you."

　　"It's okay," Zhou Yun smiled calmly, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face. He said, "Miss Liu, seeing you reminds me of my own sister. She was alone taking care of me when I was growing up, and it was also very hard, just like your current situation. Seeing you, I feel very close to you. It just so happens that I came out of Liuyun Country this time to find the Black Flame Crystal. If possible, I will also help you in this Mirror Lake Conference."

　　The expression on Zhou Yun's face was very sincere, which made Liu Xiaohan feel warm. She could feel that Zhou Yun was helping her, but she didn't expect that the reason Zhou Yun helped her was that he felt that she was very similar to her sister. Looking at Zhou Yun, Liu Xiaohan pondered for a moment, as if she was making a difficult decision. After a long pause, Liu Xiaohan finally said, "Zhou Yun, if you want to find the Black Flame Crystal, I have one at home."

　　"Well," Zhou Yun opened his eyes wide in surprise as Liu Xiaohan spoke. Zhou Yun had never thought of this at first. After listening to Bai He's story, Zhou Yun felt that it was impossible for Baiyue City to have the Black Flame Crystal. If they had it, how could they have been suppressed by Luo Tian all the time? Naturally seeing Zhou Yun's doubts, Liu Xiaohan said, "This Black Flame Crystal was obtained by my father six years ago, but he was already in his forties at that time, and was closely watched by Luo Tian, ​​so he had no chance to use it. This Black Flame Crystal was originally intended for my brother. However, if I enter the Mirror Lake Secret Realm and cannot come out this time, I don't want my brother to learn martial arts, so I'll give this Black Flame Crystal to you."

　　While speaking, Liu Xiaohan's expression was also a little sad. Zhou Yun naturally understood what she meant. If she could not get out after entering the Mirror Lake Secret Realm this time, Liu Xiaohan's brother would definitely hate Luo Tian very much. Liu Xiaohan also knew how powerful Luo Tian was, so naturally she did not want her brother to seek revenge. Looking at Liu Xiaohan's appearance, Zhou Yun once again recalled his sister Zhou Xue who had devoted herself to him. At this time, Zhou Yun was completely sure that he would help them this time no matter what. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a strong force suddenly came from afar, "Xiaohan, I didn't expect that your family actually hid a Black Flame Crystal. This is really an unexpected surprise." Before Zhou Yun could speak, a sinister voice immediately came from afar,

　　Chapter 161: No Trace Left

　　Hearing this sudden voice, Zhou Yun's brows immediately frowned. He had just heard Liu Xiaohan talking about the Black Flame Crystal, and Zhou Yun was so excited that he actually relaxed his vigilance and let others get close to him. Following the voice, a young man in his twenties wearing a red brocade robe walked over from a distance. The young man in red had an evil look on his face, and you could tell from his face that he was a sinister and vicious person. Moreover, as soon as he appeared, he began to look at Liu Xiaohan with greedy eyes, just like the way Zhao Guang looked at Zhou Xue at that time. Seeing the look of the man in red, Zhou Yun's eyes were filled with greed. Her eyes narrowed slightly, "Luo Chen, what are you doing here?" Seeing the man in red, Liu Xiaohan's body trembled slightly, but she still tried to calm down and spoke seriously, ignoring Zhou Yun beside her. Luo Chen walked over with a wicked smile and said, "Come and see my future wife. I am very worried about you coming out for training this time. In fact, you know that I don't want you to participate in the Jinghu Conference at all. You just need to marry me peacefully, and there will be no trouble. As for the people of Baiyue City, I can treat them better, so you don't have to worry about it. How about it?"

　　Hearing Luo Chen's frivolous words, Liu Xiaohan's face turned red and she shouted angrily, "Luo Chen, don't even think about it."

　　"Haha, I like people with a strong temper," Luo Chen said while stroking his chin after taking a look at Liu Xiaohan's delicate body. "But, this requires you to be able to get out of this forest. Now, the people of Baiyue City are waiting for you to return safely from the Mirror Lake Conference. But if the people knew that you didn't go to the Mirror Lake Conference, do you think they would still support you so much?"

　　As Luo Chen spoke, several black shadows immediately flashed out. The warriors who were originally on guard all around had been controlled by a group of men in black. One person was injured and had fallen into a coma. "Luo Chen, you are so shameless." Seeing that all the warriors in charge of guarding her side had been caught by Luo Chen's men, Liu Xiaohan immediately trembled with anger, but she still held back her tears. Seeing Liu Xiaohan like this, Luo Chen smiled even more happily. Looking at Liu Xiaohan, Luo Chen said, "Xiaohan, just stay here quietly for three days. After three days, I will let you go back. By then, the wedding team will be waiting for you directly at the City Lord's Mansion in Baiyue City. Just wait to marry me, hahahaha."

　　After laughing a few times, Luo Chen turned around and walked to the outskirts of the woods. Seeing Luo Chen leaving, Liu Xiaohan was angry and anxious, her pretty face flushed, but she had no idea what to do. "Did I tell you to leave?" At this moment, a voice came out faintly. Hearing this voice, Luo Chen, who had just turned around and walked a few steps, stopped immediately and turned to look at Zhou Yun. "Who are you?" Looking at Zhou Yun, Luo Chen's face showed a fierce look. He was very dissatisfied when he saw Zhou Yun standing with Liu Xiaohan just now. But when he heard that Liu Xiaohan was going to... The Black Flame Crystal was given to Zhou Yun. Luo Chen was worried that Zhou Yun was from a powerful force, so he did not take the initiative to conflict with Zhou Yun. But now, Zhou Yun actually provoked him directly. Luo Chen would naturally not tolerate it. As Luo Tian's biological son, no one in the Northern Princes Alliance dared to disrespect him. Looking at Luo Chen with a fierce look on his face, Zhou Yun also showed a faint smile on his face and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. I just hope you can release Miss Liu's people and leave with your people. Don't interfere with her participation in the Mirror Lake Conference."

　　Upon hearing Zhou Yun's words, Luo Chen's face immediately showed an angry expression, "Who are you to order me around?"

　　"If you don't listen to me, it will be difficult for you to leave here." Zhou Yun smiled, his face still indifferent to praise or criticism. Seeing that Zhou Yun and Luo Chen were about to have a conflict, Liu Xiaohan immediately ran up and grabbed Zhou Yun's arm with a pair of small hands, and whispered anxiously, "Zhou Yun, don't conflict with him, don't get involved in this matter."

　　Zhou Yun's concern for her was genuine, and he saved her life. Liu Xiaohan really didn't want Zhou Yun to be involved in this matter. Others didn't know the power that Luo Chen represented, but Liu Xiaohan knew it. Although she knew that Zhou Yun's cultivation was good, it would be extremely dangerous to confront the Luo family. "It's okay," Zhou Yun patted Liu Xiaohan's hand and spoke slowly. He was not unsure. After seeing Luo Chen just now, Zhou Yun had already opened his spiritual perception and took in everything within a radius of 20 miles. Zhou Yun was sure that Luo Chen and his group could be defeated. None of them can escape. "You're looking for death." Seeing that Zhou Yun not only provoked him again and again, but also had an intimate communication with Liu Xiaohan in front of him, Luo Chen's eyes immediately turned blood red, and he yelled, "What are you standing there for? Come on," Luo Chen looked around at the black-clothed warriors around him and shouted angrily. Hearing Luo Chen's shouting, the black-clothed warriors around him reacted and released the warriors who had been controlled by them, and a dozen black-clothed men who followed Luo Chen immediately drew their weapons and rushed towards Zhou Yun. "Go to hell," Luo Chen was angry, and these warriors also They did not dare to delay and attacked Zhou Yun frantically. Suddenly, more than a dozen warriors gathered around Zhou Yun. Facing the black-clothed warriors who almost rushed in front of him, Zhou Yun was not panicked at all. He felt that the dozen warriors were within a dozen meters of him. Zhou Yun raised his head, and a blue light flashed in his eyes. Zhou Yun clenched his fists fiercely. Suddenly, a dazzling blue light floated above Zhou Yun's body, and the blue light was mixed with a trace of purple arc. At the same time, a dark cloud quickly condensed above Zhou Yun's head. Suddenly, the whole space became extremely oppressive. The black-clothed men who rushed towards Zhou Yun with knives were shocked to find that a two-meter-circle blue arc zone had appeared beside Zhou Yun. After approaching the arc zone, no matter how hard they attacked, they could not get close to Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan. "Destroy it," Zhou Yun silently uttered a few words after glancing at Luo Chen in the distance. After hearing Zhou Yun's clear three words, Luo Chen immediately opened his eyes in astonishment. Then, a scene that shocked him until his death appeared. A wave of shock surged through Zhou Yun's body. Lightning flashed up, and lightning as thick as a bowl rose directly into the dark clouds above his head. Then, within the area covered by the dark clouds, lightning as thick as an arm roared down, instantly turning the surrounding area of ​​more than 20 meters into a terrifying hell of thunder. Boom boom boom, blue and purple lightning kept striking down, and the dozen or so warriors were immediately beaten into pieces of charcoal. This period of lightning did not last long. After his cultivation broke through to the realm of refining internal organs and exchanging blood, and after fusing with the Hunyuan True Gold, Zhou Yun could already control the Wanxiang Thunder Prison at will. If it were not for protecting Liu Xiao beside him Han was not implicated. To deal with these men in black, Zhou Yun did not need to activate the Myriad Thunder Prison. "Ah!" Seeing Zhou Yun kill the dozen or so warriors under his command in an instant with such a powerful attack, Luo Chen's eyes immediately showed an extremely shocked and horrified look. With a loud shout, Luo Chen turned around and wanted to escape. Although his cultivation was not bad, without the help of these warriors, Luo Chen's desire to deal with Zhou Yun was simply a joke. Until now, Luo Chen's mind was still filled with the dark clouds and thunder that had just condensed, as well as Zhou Yun's stable figure standing there like a mountain. "Stay," looking at Luo Chen was so scared that he wanted to run away. Zhou Yun smiled and punched out. Suddenly, a ball of lightning flew to Luo Chen's back in an instant. Boom, there was another muffled sound. Luo Chen was hit by the lightning ball sent by Zhou Yun, and his body immediately turned into a piece of charcoal. He was still running forward, but fell to the ground randomly. In just a moment, Zhou Yun had strangled all of Luo Chen and his group of more than a dozen people, leaving no one alive. Turning around, Zhou Yun found that Liu Xiaohan was also surprised and couldn't say a word. Her beautiful eyes looked straight at him. Zhou Yun, "You...you killed them all," Liu Xiaohan spoke intermittently with a trembling voice. He showed a gentle smile to Liu Xiaohan and said, "It's okay, don't worry. I'm sure no one escaped. As long as you let the warriors in your mansion keep it a secret, there will be no problem. If possible, those who saw the battle will return to Baiyue City. It's best to lock them up in the mansion first and don't let them contact anyone from the outside world. Although it's a bit unkind to do so, think about you and your brother, think about the people of Baiyue City, and then consider what to do."

　　After leaving a word, Zhou Yun turned around and walked back to the camp. When he walked to the side of the four guards who were kidnapped by the men in black, Zhou Yun clenched his fist slightly and shook them with force. Suddenly, the four warriors were knocked unconscious by Zhou Yun's true power. The charcoal on the ground just now was also turned into dust by Zhou Yun's shaking and disappeared into the dense forest without leaving a trace. Looking at Zhou Yun's leaving back, and then looking at the four people lying on the ground, Liu Xiaohan struggled to think about it, and finally made a decision. She quickly returned to the camp and called Bai He woke up, "Uncle Bai, I suspect these four people are related to the Luo family, but I'm not completely sure. Please tie them up and put them in the carriage. After returning to the mansion, lock them in the dungeon and keep them under strict supervision, but don't let them suffer in terms of food and drink. I will make a decision after I have found out all these things." Liu Xiaohan took Bai He to the place where the battle just took place. She made up her mind again and spoke decisively. Looking at the four people on the ground, Bai He's face immediately showed a surprised expression, "Miss, these people are our Baiyue City's children. They are loyal to you."

　　"Do as I say. It's an emergency, and I have my reasons," Liu Xiaohan interrupted Bai He with a frown. After leaving a word, Liu Xiaohan left the spot and walked towards his tent. After looking at Liu Xiaohan's back, Bai He stamped his feet and finally followed Liu Xiaohan's instructions, tied up the four people on the ground, and threw them onto the carriage.

　　Chapter 167 Luo Tian

　　In the tent, Zhou Yun saw Liu Xiaohan's decision and nodded with satisfaction.

　　This situation is just like what Zhou Yun had experienced before. When facing a crisis, if he doesn't make his mind more calm and ruthless, he will definitely not be able to cope with such a crisis.

　　Zhou Yun knew that he was just a passer-by on the Black Flame Continent. But even so, Zhou Yun didn't want anything to happen to Liu Xiaohan. After all, this was a woman who was very similar to Zhou Xue, and she touched the softest part of Zhou Yun's heart.

　　After solving this matter, Zhou Yun in the tent once again devoted himself to cultivation.

　　Gradually, the sky brightened. Zhou Yun also finished his training and stood up from the tent.

　　In the past few days, Zhou Yun has figured out the threshold for another breakthrough in his cultivation. After fusing the Hunyuan True Gold, Zhou Yun's cultivation successfully broke through to the realm of training the internal organs and exchanging blood. Although it is still in the middle stage, it only takes time to reach the peak of training the internal organs and exchanging blood. Zhou Yun is not in a hurry about this.

　　"Master Bai, are we going to set off?" Zhou Yun felt that the warriors in other tents had already stood up. He also walked out of his own tent. While helping other warriors pack up, he asked Bai He beside him.

　　"Well, the Jinghu Conference will start in three days. We have to hurry back." While speaking, Bai He's face also had a gloomy look.

　　Naturally, he knew why. Zhou Yun smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Bai, your daughter's life is not easy. Sometimes she has to make some decisions out of necessity. What she needs most now is support, not doubt."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Bai He's face immediately showed a look of astonishment. Looking at Zhou Yun, Bai He's eyes had already emitted a strange light. This Zhou Yun seemed to be able to read his mind. He could even see what he was thinking.

　　Bai He naturally didn't know. Zhou Yun said this because he was the one who had experienced the whole process of yesterday's incident, while Bai He was kept in the dark.

　　Looking at the indifferent expression on Zhou Yun's face and thinking back to what Zhou Yun said, Bai He finally nodded. Although he really didn't understand why Liu Xiaohan asked him to control those warriors who were loyal to her last night, he now listened to Zhou Yun's words and chose to trust and understand Liu Xiaohan.

　　Soon, all the tents were packed up. Although there were four people missing from the team, the other warriors did not worry much after Bai He comforted them. They all set out on their return journey.

　　Because they had something on their mind, the team moved forward very quickly along the way. The journey that would have taken a whole day was completed in just over half a day.

　　Walking out of the dense forest under the Three Holy Mountains, some villages in the distance have come into sight.

　　Coming out of the dense forest, Zhou Yun immediately saw the vast and desolate scenery in the distance. The continent in front of him was all gray and extremely messy. There was not much flat land. The gray and empty surface was covered with rocks and looked very desolate.

　　Among the rocks and sand, there were occasionally some green grass growing tenaciously. Besides that, there were some sea buckthorns. This was completely different from the scene on Sansheng Mountain. Such a huge landform change occurred within such a short distance. It was also something Zhou Yun had never seen before.

　　"Brother Zhou, this is the situation in the northernmost part of our Northern Zhou. Although there are abundant lakes and rivers here, thousands of years ago, this was a mountainous area. So, except for some sand and soil, there are only rocks under our feet. You can't grow any food on such land. So this place has always been very poor. It's not so bad now. Once winter comes, the mountains are covered with snow, and people starve to death every year." Naturally seeing the look in Zhou Yun's eyes, Bai He also came over and explained to Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun nodded and also expressed his understanding.

　　During the Tianyuan Dynasty, Zhou Yun had been to many places, including Nanshan Province and Xichuan Province. But there was no such desolate place in the Tianyuan Dynasty. Generally speaking, the Tianyuan Dynasty was still very wealthy. However, the Northern Zhou Dynasty on the Black Flame Continent was obviously much poorer. Perhaps after passing through this desolate area, the real territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty would be richer.

　　"How far is it from here to Baiyue City?" Zhou Yun retracted his gaze and asked Bai He beside him. By now, Zhou Yun had more or less understood Liu Xiaohan's intentions. In a place like this, it was already very difficult for the people to survive. If they were constantly exploited, they would probably have no way out.

　　Last night, Zhou Yun also saw the clothes of Luo Chen and his men. They were all dressed in a very elegant and luxurious manner. As for Liu Xiaohan, as the daughter of the city lord, although she was dressed neatly and looked very pretty, her clothes were not luxurious and she did not wear any jewelry.

　　From this point, we can see that, including Liu Xiaohan herself, is actually very poor.

　　"We'll walk for another afternoon. We should be there by the evening. Brother Zhou has helped us a lot this time. Please give me a chance when you return. Let us treat you well." Bai He rode beside Zhou Yun.

　　With an undeniable smile on his face, Zhou Yun did not answer directly.

　　Although this place is vast and desolate, the people here are very simple and honest. This is a brand new experience for Zhou Yun, who has endured all kinds of intrigues in the Shenwei training camp.

　　"Mr. Zhou, the young lady invites you." Just as Zhou Yun was thinking silently, a voice suddenly came over. He looked up and found that the driver who drove Liu Xiaohan had jumped off the carriage and ran in front of him.

　　Hearing that it was Liu Xiaohan who called him for something, Zhou Yun nodded and said, "Okay. I'll be there right away."

　　Zhou Yun jumped off the horse and followed Liu Xiaohan's carriage. He jumped in through the open door and then closed it.

　　"Zhou Yun, you're here." Seeing Zhou Yun get in the car, Liu Xiaohan smiled. Zhou Yun felt a sense of familiarity towards her. And he had already explained the reason. After what happened yesterday, Liu Xiaohan also felt a sense of familiarity towards Zhou Yun. Even a sense of dependence.

　　Since her father entered the Jinghu Conference three years ago and never came out, Liu Xiaohan has been carrying the entire Baiyue City on her shoulders as a little girl. The hardship is probably only known to her. If there is a way, as a woman, she will also find a shoulder to lean on.

　　But Liu Xiaohan had no one to rely on. Now, Zhou Yun appeared in front of her. In Liu Xiaohan's heart, she had already vaguely regarded Zhou Yun as her support.

　　"Miss Liu. What do you want to talk to me about?" As soon as he got on the carriage, Zhou Yun immediately smelled a faint fragrance. It was the fragrance of Liu Xiaohan. It brought a warm feeling.

　　Liu Xiaohan's carriage was not very spacious. After the four people were controlled and covered with black cloth, the space in the carriage was already very tight. There was only enough space for Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan to sit opposite each other.

　　Sitting close to Zhou Yun, Liu Xiaohan did not feel embarrassed.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun quietly, Liu Xiaohan said, "Zhou Yun, how long will you stay here this time?"

　　As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yun immediately understood what Liu Xiaohan meant. After yesterday's incident, Luo Tian would definitely not let it go. Even if there was no evidence, Baiyue City would definitely be under great pressure. How long Zhou Yun could stay here was directly related to how long Baiyue City could remain safe.

　　After spending time together yesterday, Liu Xiaohan already believed that as long as Zhou Yun was here, he would definitely help her.

　　"There should only be more than a month left." After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun spoke slowly.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan's face immediately showed a gloomy look. If it's only more than a month, how much use can it be?

　　After Zhou Yun left, the people of Baiyue City would still become fish on the chopping board of others to be slaughtered.

　　Seeing the sad expression on Liu Xiaohan's face, Zhou Yun smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry. If conditions permit, I will help you solve your worries before I leave."

　　After yesterday's conversation with Bai He, Zhou Yun has a certain understanding of the situation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty's Northern Princes Alliance. If possible, Zhou Yun will not let Luo Tian go.

　　Moreover, this move was not just to help Liu Xiaohan. Luo Tian had controlled the Mirror Lake Secret Realm for so many years. He must have accumulated a lot of treasures. Even the Black Flame Crystal, Luo Tian probably had a lot of it. If he could wipe out the Luo family, he would be able to gain a lot of benefits.

　　This time, Zhou Yun's opponent was Li Wanqiu. Zhou Yun knew very well how difficult this opponent was.

　　"Really." Upon hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan's face immediately showed a look of surprise. With Liu Xiaohan's smile, everything in the car suddenly became bright. Even Zhou Yun's breathing could not help but stagnate.

　　But now, Zhou Yun's mind was very firm. In a moment, Zhou Yun had completely recovered.

　　"That's natural. But we also need to see how powerful the Luo family is. After all, we can't take too many risks." Zhou Yun nodded. "Let's not talk about this for now. I will probably attend the Jinghu Conference. Then you can go with me. Maybe it will be less dangerous."

　　"Yes." He nodded vigorously. Liu Xiaohan stopped talking and started practicing with Zhou Yun.

　　The team continued to move forward. By the evening, they were almost approaching White Moon City.

　　At this time, in Huoluo City, the core of the Northern Princes Alliance, the Luo family's mansion was shrouded in gloom.

　　"Is there still no news about Xiaochen?" In the main hall of the Luo family mansion, a middle-aged man in red clothes with a majestic aura was standing there. He spoke with a gloomy face. This man in red clothes was the ruler of Huoluo country, Luo Tian.

　　"My Lord, there is still no news about the young prince. We have sent many people to investigate, but there is no clue at all." After hearing Luo Tian's inquiry, a fifty-year-old gray-clothed old man immediately replied respectfully.

　　A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. Luo Tian spoke slowly. "Xiao Chen said when he left. He was going to intercept Liu Xiaohan from Baiyue City. He didn't want her to attend the Jinghu Conference. Could it be that someone from Baiyue City wanted to harm Xiao Chen?"

　　Shaking his head repeatedly, the gray-clothed old man said, "This is impossible. The young prince and the warriors he brought with him are basically practicing blood exchange. The worst one is stronger than those in Baiyue City. How could they fail? I also sent people to follow the Baiyue City team. I found that everything was calm over there. It seems that they didn't encounter the young prince at all."

　　After hearing what the old man said, Luo Tian also nodded. He really didn't believe that Luo Tian and others would encounter an accident when they met Liu Xiaohan's team.

　　"Keep investigating. No matter who it is, as long as I, Luo Tian, ​​know that he dares to target my son, I will make him suffer a fate worse than death." A ruthless light flashed in his eyes. Luo Tian spoke coldly.

　　Chapter 168 Liu Xiaofeng

　　Luo Tian's disappearance caused a huge uproar in the Northern Princes Alliance, but these things did not involve Baiyue City too much.

　　The people following Liu Xiaohan have limited strength, and Zhou Yun's existence is unknown. Even smart people would not doubt that this matter has anything to do with Liu Xiaohan.

　　In silence, Zhou Yun followed Liu Xiaohan back to Baiyue City.

　　Baiyue City is not a very big city. In terms of scale, it is inferior to Heyang City. But as soon as Zhou Yun stepped into Baiyue City, he felt the simple folk customs of this area.

　　Moreover, the people here are extremely respectful to Liu Xiaohan. Along the way, everyone who sees Liu Xiaohan's carriage will naturally make way for it. Some people even boldly send their blessings to the carriage, which makes Zhou Yun very emotional.

　　"It seems that you are really popular here." After entering the urban area, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan had already come out of their cultivation state. Listening to the blessings from both sides of the road, Zhou Yun also smiled and spoke to Liu Xiaohan.

　　Facing Zhou Yun's praise, Liu Xiaohan smiled slightly and said, "The people of Baiyue City have followed our Liu family for more than three hundred years. This area is desolate and the people's lives are very hard. My father taught me since I was a child that I must take better care of the people. These are what we should do!"

　　Liu Xiaohan's ancestor was also a meritorious minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he was granted this independent fiefdom. Although it was not large, he commanded more than 100,000 people. Because Liu's ancestors were civil officials, they had such a love for the people.

　　"It's not easy to achieve this." Nodding, Zhou Yun expressed his appreciation again.

　　With a gentle smile on her pretty face, Liu Xiaohan did not respond to Zhou Yun's words. At this time, the carriage had already arrived at the back door of the City Lord's Mansion. Baiyue City was not very big, and the City Lord's Mansion was located in the center of Baiyue City. The area it occupied was not very large. If you really compare it, it might not be as big as the Li family's mansion in Heyang City.

　　Knowing that Liu Xiaohan wanted to secretly deal with the four people hiding in the carriage, Bai He drove the carriage directly into the backyard.

　　"Okay, you have worked hard for so long, go and have a rest, I will just serve the young lady." After parking the carriage, Bai He spoke to the warriors around him.

　　"Got it." Nodding together, the warriors led their horses towards the stables.

　　Soon, Bai He was the only one left in the backyard.

　　"Miss, everyone has been sent away." Seeing that there was no one around, Bai He spoke respectfully to the carriage.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun also silently sensed the surrounding situation. After making sure that no one was watching him, Zhou Yun opened the door of the carriage and jumped down first. Liu Xiaohan also followed Zhou Yun and jumped off the carriage.

　　"Mr. Bai, where is the dungeon in the mansion?" After getting off the car, Zhou Yun immediately asked Bai He beside him.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's questions and recalling Zhou Yun's instructions during the day, Bai He immediately understood that Zhou Yun knew about this matter. Although he was still confused, Bai He did not ask more questions.

　　"It's in the corner of the backyard. It was originally a cellar, but later it was changed into a dungeon. No one has been here for a long time and it has been abandoned. But it can still be used after some cleaning." Pointing to a place in the corner of the backyard, Baihedao.

　　Nodding, Zhou Yun ordered, "Okay, Bai Lao, go open the entrance to the dungeon, and I'll take these people over!"

　　"You yourself." Looking at Zhou Yun in surprise, Bai He asked doubtfully. Even if Zhou Yun had a high level of cultivation, they were four living people after all. How could Zhou Yun possibly bring all four of them over at once?

　　Naturally seeing Bai He's doubts, Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Bai, just do as I say!"

　　"Okay." Looking at Zhou Yun who looked confident, Bai He finally turned around and left.

　　After watching Bai He leave, Zhou Yun turned around and walked towards the open back door of the carriage.

　　In the carriage, under the black cloth, four warriors from the Liu family were still unconscious. After feeling the body postures of the four warriors, Zhou Yun suddenly raised his hand.

　　Suddenly, the blanket at the bottom of the carriage was rolled up, completely wrapping up the four warriors.

　　A surge of true power surged in his hands, and Zhou Yun lifted them up directly, actually grabbing the four warriors out of the air.

　　"Ah, Zhou Yun, you..." Seeing Zhou Yun's incredible method, Liu Xiaohan immediately opened her mouth in shock.

　　"This is nothing." With a slight smile, Zhou Yun directly used the true power that came out of his body to restrain the four warriors and walked steadily to the corner of the backyard.

　　At this time, Bai He had already opened the entrance to the cellar. Seeing Zhou Yun walking towards him with four warriors in his hands, Bai He couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

　　When he reached the door of the cellar, Zhou Yun immediately felt the gloomy and corrupt smell in the cellar. It was obvious that the air in the cellar had become very bad as it had not been opened for a long time. If he threw someone directly in there, it would probably cause very serious consequences.

　　"Zhou Yun, it's not a good idea to put people in there directly. This cellar hasn't been used for a long time, and the air is very bad." At this time, Liu Xiaohan had recovered from the shock Zhou Yun brought her, and followed him. Smelling the gloomy and corrupt odor in the cellar, Liu Xiaohan couldn't help but speak out in worry.

　　The next moment, Zhou Yun immediately did something that shocked her even more.

　　He slightly retracted his empty left hand, then turned and slapped the entrance of the cellar with force. Suddenly, a strong palm wind poured directly into the cellar.

　　Woo… Woo…

　　Suddenly, a whistling sound came from the cellar. Zhou Yun's palm wind was extremely overbearing, which accelerated the flow of the air in the cellar. Suddenly, a strong and corrupt smell gushed out from the cellar, and after a moment, it dissipated in the wind.

　　At this time, new, fresh air had been rushed into the cellar.

　　"Okay, there should be no problem letting them go down now." With a slight smile at Liu Xiaohan and Bai He, Zhou Yun took the lead in carrying the four people down the passage, leaving Bai He and Liu Xiaohan looking at each other in bewilderment, still standing in a daze at the door of the cellar.

　　"Miss, this Mr. Zhou is truly a deity. Meeting him is truly a great blessing for our Baiyue City." After a long while, Bai He finally came back to his senses from the shock and sighed to Liu Xiaohan beside him.

　　Although the cellar was not big, it was more than ten meters deep and had a space of more than thirty square meters. Zhou Yun's simple palm actually stirred up the air inside completely. It was really incredible.

　　Moreover, Zhou Yun, such a powerful man, now seems to be on their side, which makes Bai He feel even happier.

　　Liu Xiaohan also agreed with Bai He's words.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had already placed the four people in the cellar. Although there was no cage in the cellar, Zhou Yun took out an iron chain from his space ring, locked the feet of the four people together, and sealed their cultivation. As long as no one deliberately rescued them, there would be no problem.

　　"Mr. Bai, come and deliver food to them once every night from now on. I will try my best to solve the problem here. If it can be solved, I will let them out." Things had been arranged, and Zhou Yun immediately got up and left.

　　"Uncle Bai, I'll leave this place to you. I'll go help Zhou Yun arrange accommodation." Seeing Zhou Yun leaving, Liu Xiaohan immediately said something to Bai He, then followed Zhou Yun.

　　The Liu family's yard is not big. There is a small garden in front of the back garden. On both sides of the small garden are several rows of houses where the main family lives. They are not built luxuriously.

　　After Zhou Yun walked into the garden, he immediately heard a slight sound of wind. It was the sound of wind caused by someone practicing boxing, mixed with one or two young shouts.

　　Hearing the voice, Zhou Yun stopped immediately.

　　At this time, Liu Xiaohan also rushed up from behind and stood beside Zhou Yun.

　　"Miss Liu, who is practicing boxing?" Zhou Yun asked immediately when he sensed Liu Xiaohan coming.

　　"He's my younger brother." After hearing Zhou Yun's question, Liu Xiaohan immediately showed a gentle smile on her face, the love in it was self-evident.

　　After hearing what Liu Xiaohan said, Zhou Yun also felt the desire to go and take a look. When he saw Liu Xiaohan, Zhou Yun thought of his sister. When he learned that Liu Xiaohan had a younger brother, this feeling became even stronger.

　　Now returning to Liu Xiaohan's home, Zhou Yun unexpectedly ran into Liu Xiaohan's younger brother practicing boxing, and naturally wanted to go over to take a look.

　　"Let's go over and take a look." Turning around, Zhou Yun said to Liu Xiaohan beside him.

　　"Yeah." Nodding, Liu Xiaohan followed Zhou Yun and walked towards the direction of the voice.

　　Ha, hey, ha.

　　The closer he got, the clearer the childish voice became in Zhou Yun's ears. Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Yun could already feel the determination in the heart of the owner of this voice, which also created a sense of resonance in Zhou Yun's heart.

　　When he was dormant in Heyang City at that time, Zhou Yun also practiced hard every day, moving forward step by step. Although he got that piece of boundary crystal later, which was a great adventure, Zhou Yun knew that the role of his hard training should not be underestimated.

　　After all, without those days of hard training, Zhou Yun would never have been able to obtain that piece of boundary crystal.

　　Turning around a quiet path, Zhou Yun saw a young figure in the garden. He was about 1.6 meters tall and looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. His figure was very thin, but the boy's expression was extremely serious when he was boxing.

　　Moreover, there was a spirit of not admitting defeat in the little boy's eyes, which made Zhou Yun couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

　　"Xiaofeng." When Liu Xiaohan saw the little boy, a look of pity immediately flashed in her eyes, and she called out softly and gently.

　　"Sister." Hearing the voice, the young man immediately stopped practicing and turned around with a look of surprise.

　　But when he saw Zhou Yun standing next to Liu Xiaohan, the expression on his face became cold and a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes.

　　"Who are you? I tell you, don't try to bully my sister, otherwise I, Liu Xiaofeng, will not let you go." Glaring at Zhou Yun, Liu Xiaofeng spoke with hostility.

　　Seeing Liu Xiaofeng's look, Zhou Yun's face immediately showed a trace of amusing and crying expression. At the same time, he felt a familiar feeling in his heart. He remembered that when he was a child, he had the same mentality towards those people around Zhou Xue, but Zhou Yun at that time did not express it as strongly as Liu Xiaofeng.

　　With a wave of his hand, Zhou Yun took out a pen and paper from his space ring and began to write and draw quickly on the small table next to the open space in the small garden. Zhou Yun also liked Liu Xiaofeng very much. In this case, he should help them more.

　　Chapter 169 Teaching

　　"Zhou Yun. What are you writing?" Seeing Zhou Yun writing furiously, Liu Xiaohan immediately followed him and asked curiously.

　　Zhou Yun did not simply write some words. In addition to the words, there were also many pictures and annotations. It looked very complicated. At this time, Liu Xiaofeng also walked over quickly and stood between Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan. It was obvious that he cared about this sister very much.

　　"A secret manual of martial arts. For your brother." Zhou Yun smiled slightly and wrote quickly on the paper. At the same time, he spoke.

　　Liu Xiaohan was a swordsman. Zhou Yun was not very familiar with swordsmanship. And he did not have any better secrets to give Liu Xiaohan. But Liu Xiaofeng was different. When he was observing just now, Zhou Yun had already felt a sharp aura from Liu Xiaofeng.

　　Zhou Yun knew that it was most appropriate for someone who was familiar with the Shadow Blade Sect's skills to practice swordsmanship.

　　It has already been revealed. The Liu family does not have any profound secret manuals. Including the swordsmanship that Liu Xiaohan is practicing. It is just a common thing in Tianyuan Continent.

　　Compared to the Sword Pavilion Divine Art that Li Wanqiu practiced, it was a far cry from the others. However, if this Shadow Blade Sect Secret Art was placed in the Black Flame Continent, it would definitely be considered the top secret book.

　　Liu Xiaofeng is still young. He has a good foundation. If he can systematically practice the Shadow Blade Sect's secret techniques from this age, he may achieve great success in two or three years.

　　Now that he has a high level of cultivation and has opened up that mysterious vein, Zhou Yun's sensing accuracy has greatly increased. He has become more sensitive. Although he has never learned painting, the patterns he draws are also very vivid.

　　Soon, Zhou Yun had completely written down the first three sets of Shadow Blade Sect's secrets, along with the breathing techniques, as well as the secrets of the Qi-Dynamic Step and Overlord Step.

　　"Okay. This is a sword manual. Here are two sets of footwork secret manuals that go with it. Take it and practice well." Zhou Yun folded the things he had written down and handed them to Liu Xiaofeng.

　　Liu Xiaofeng looked at the things Zhou Yun handed over. There was some doubt in his eyes. He looked at Zhou Yun. Then he looked at Liu Xiaohan. Liu Xiaofeng finally spoke. "I don't want your things. Don't try to take my sister. Otherwise, I won't let you go."

　　He shook his head helplessly and smiled. Zhou Yun suddenly raised his hand. Suddenly, a strong force was released. Liu Xiaofeng was immediately pushed up and jumped to a height of three meters.

　　"Zhou Yun." Liu Xiaohan screamed immediately when she heard that something had happened to her brother.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun waved his hand again and took back his power. Suddenly, Liu Xiaofeng fell from the sky, but he was not injured. Zhou Yun had felt Liu Xiaofeng's cultivation just now. Although Liu Xiaofeng was only in the middle stage of skin training, even a warrior at this stage was already very agile. Falling from a height of three or four meters would not cause any injury.

　　He waved his hand at Liu Xiaohan, signaling her not to speak. Zhou Yun looked at Liu Xiaofeng, who was still in shock, and said, "I know you want to protect your sister. I also have a sister. When I was your age, I had the same idea as you. However, you also need to have strong power first, and then be smart enough to do better."

　　Standing up, Zhou Yun handed the paper in his hand to Liu Xiaohan. He continued, "Being tough and futile is a good thing when you have a strong foundation. But if you don't have the strength, it will cause you to die faster. This set of secrets includes three types: Qi training, swordsmanship routines, and footwork routines. You should practice this from now on."

　　As he spoke, Zhou Yun turned his hand and immediately, the Tianyan steel knife appeared in Zhou Yun's hand. Zhou Yun planned to give this knife to Liu Xiaofeng. Although the knife was extremely heavy, Zhou Yun had just felt it. Liu Xiaofeng's foundation was still relatively solid.

　　Moreover, Zhou Yun did not want him to jump too quickly to learn the secrets of the Shadow Blade Sect. Using such a heavy sword would allow him to continuously improve his strength until the foundation was solid and the strength was enough to control the Heavenly Rock Steel Blade before he could continue to practice.

　　Zhou Yun had walked this path of cultivation once before , and he knew that this arrangement was good for Liu Xiaofeng.

　　With a slight flick, the steel knife suddenly stabbed straight into the bluestone ground in front of Liu Xiaofeng, and even sank halfway down.

　　"This knife is for you. Also, the secrets on these papers are all top-notch magical skills. When you have mastered them, make sure that the person you use them with will not tell anyone. Do not reveal these secrets easily. You must learn to better protect yourself." Liu Xiaofeng was stunned. Zhou Yun left the last words and walked out of the small garden slowly.

　　After her brother, and Zhou Yun, Liu Xiaohan finally took two quick steps and followed behind Zhou Yun.

　　In the small garden, Liu Xiaofeng stood there in a daze, with a look of shock on his face. The power displayed by Zhou Yun and those words were undoubtedly extremely shocking to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.

　　If Liu Xiaofeng wants to fully digest Zhou Yun's words, he will probably need a lot of time.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had already walked out of the small garden. There were rooms on both sides of the small garden of the Liu family mansion. I thought, I should stay here at night.

　　Walking out of the small garden, Zhou Yun stood quietly under the corridor of a room, waiting for Liu Xiaohan to come over.

　　"Zhou Yun, thank you." Soon, Liu Xiaohan followed Zhou Yun and walked over. She looked at Zhou Yun and spoke sincerely. Although Zhou Yun's words just now were a little impolite, they were all good advice. Liu Xiaohan naturally understood.

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun said calmly, "That's all I can do. I don't want anything to happen to you. I don't want anything to happen to your brother either."

　　"Yeah. I know." Nodding, Liu Xiaohan responded softly.

　　"Where should I stay tonight?" Liu Xiaohan was still a little worried about Liu Xiaofeng. She wanted to go back to the small garden as soon as possible. Zhou Yun did not delay and asked directly.

　　"Let's just stay in this room. The houses on this side are usually empty. My brother and I live on the other side." Liu Xiaohan said as she opened a room nearby for Zhou Yun.

　　Through the moonlight, Zhou Yun also saw everything in the house. It was not luxurious. It could even be said to be a bit shabby. There was nothing else except a bed, a table, a round table, and a few chairs. But Zhou Yun himself had no special requirements for a place to live. Such conditions were enough to satisfy him.

　　Moreover, although the room was not luxurious, it was cleaned very well.

　　"Okay. I will stay here for the next three days. You should go back to Xiaofeng soon. Don't worry about me for these three days. I will practice in seclusion. After three days, I will go to the Jinghu Conference with you." After entering the room, Zhou Yun turned around and spoke to Liu Xiaohan.

　　"Don't come out for three days." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan immediately spoke in a daze. There was a hint of surprise on her pretty face. Her little mouth was slightly open. Very cute.

　　"Yes. Don't disturb me for three days." He nodded. Zhou Yun looked at Liu Xiaohan's cute appearance and couldn't help but smile.

　　Liu Xiaohan blushed a little at Zhou Yun's teasing look. Finally, she agreed with Zhou Yun's words. She bowed to Zhou Yun hastily and turned to leave.

　　Seeing Liu Xiaohan leave, Zhou Yun just walked into the room. He closed the doors and windows. Zhou Yun stood in the center of the room with his five hearts facing the sky. He held the world crystal tightly in his hand and entered the state of cultivation.

　　There are still three days until the Mirror Lake Conference begins. If I can truly break through to the peak of internal organ training and blood exchange in these three days, then this operation will definitely be more manageable.

　　Now, what Zhou Yun lacked was the improvement of his skill and strength. Such improvement could only be achieved through practice.

　　Take a deep breath. Calm your mind. Gradually enter a state of concentration.

　　After bidding farewell to Zhou Yun, Liu Xiaohan trotted back to the small garden. In the center of the small garden, Liu Xiaofeng had recovered from his shock. He was trying his best to pull out the sword that Zhou Yun had stuck in the ground.

　　"Xiaofeng, let me help you." Liu Xiaofeng used almost all her strength. But the steel knife was still stuck in the ground. Liu Xiaohan's eyes immediately showed a trace of heartache.

　　"Sister, you don't need to help me. I want to do it myself." A hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes. Liu Xiaofeng still tried hard to pull the sword out of the ground.

　　Seeing Liu Xiaofeng's determination, Liu Xiaohan stopped forcing him and could only stand aside and look at his brother who was working hard. Liu Xiaohan suddenly felt that his brother seemed to have matured all of a sudden.

　　The impulsive childishness in his body disappeared. He became more restrained. He was no longer so reckless and aggressive. Thinking of this, Liu Xiaohan couldn't help but be more grateful to Zhou Yun.

　　At this time, with a "swoosh" sound, the Tianyan steel knife that Zhou Yun had stuck in the ground was finally pulled out by Liu Xiaofeng.

　　Suddenly, a dazzling cold light burst out. Feeling this cold light, Liu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up immediately. "What a good knife."

　　Although he didn't know what material the sword was made of, it didn't affect Liu Xiaofeng's ability to identify it. It could be inserted into the bluestone ground just like that. And after it was pulled out, the blade was not damaged at all. This was enough to prove the preciousness of this sword.

　　Seeing his younger brother holding the sword in his hand and examining it repeatedly, he obviously liked it very much. Liu Xiaohan also showed a gentle smile on his face. He walked forward and handed the papers in his hand to Liu Xiaofeng.

　　"Xiao Feng, these secret manuals should all be top-grade. Take them and follow Zhou Yun's instructions. Practice well."

　　After taking the secret book from Liu Xiaohan, Liu Xiaofeng only glanced at it briefly and already felt the difference of this set of secret books.

　　Take the key to speed knife for example. The passing line is simply unimaginable to Liu Xiaofeng. One hundred and twenty knives per minute. And every knife has an echo. This is simply unbelievable.

　　Let alone anything else, if I could master the Quick Knife Technique, I would be a hundred times stronger than I am now.

　　Zhou Yun gave him these secrets as soon as he arrived. He also taught him such precious truths. Liu Xiaofeng was actually grateful to Zhou Yun in his heart. But he still had some doubts.

　　"Sister. Does he want to..." Liu Xiaofeng asked hesitantly.

　　If Zhou Yun's care for him was because he had some intention towards Liu Xiaohan, then he would definitely not accept Zhou Yun's favor.

　　After hearing what Liu Xiaofeng said, Liu Xiaohan immediately understood.

　　Quickly shaking his head, Liu Xiaohan said, "Xiaofeng, he is from Liuyun Country. He helped me because he felt a familiar aura in me. He said that when he saw me, he thought of his own sister. I could feel that his words were sincere. Moreover, Zhou Yun said that he would only stay here for more than a month. After that, I am afraid he will not come back for a long time."

　　After listening to Liu Xiaohan's words, Liu Xiaofeng finally nodded with relief and put away the secret book.

　　But he didn't notice that Liu Xiaohan was slightly absent-minded when she mentioned that Zhou Yun was about to leave.

　　Chapter 170: Shocking Means

　　Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Zhou Yun did not show up once. Not even a mouthful of food or a sip of water was useful. This also made Liu Xiaohan and others worried.

　　They didn't know that three days of retreat was a piece of cake for Zhou Yun. In the past, Zhou Yun even went without food or water for a month. With Zhou Yun's current cultivation level, not eating or drinking for a long time wouldn't be a big problem. Especially during the process of meditation, Zhou Yun's consumption was very small, so there was no problem at all.

　　In the three days, the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty's Northern Princes Alliance quietly fell into a state of restlessness. The Mirror Lake Conference, which was held every three years, was about to begin again. The opening of a well-known holy place like Mirror Lake once again attracted a large number of warriors from the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

　　Although the grand event was approaching, the palace of Luo Tian, ​​the leader of Huo Luo State, was still in a state of deep depression. For three days, a large number of forces under Luo Tian had been searching for Luo Chen's whereabouts without stopping, but they had no results at all. This also made this powerful leader who dominated the Northern Princes Alliance for nearly 30 years very angry.

　　"Useless. All useless. After such a long time, we still haven't found any clues. Are you all good-for-nothings?" Luo Tian was furious in the main hall of the mansion. All the people below were silent. No one dared to make a sound.

　　Luo Chen is Luo Tian's only son. He carries Luo Tian's hopes. He has received the most meticulous training since he was a child. Now at the age of 21, he has already reached the initial stage of internal organ training and blood exchange. This is already the top young talent in the Northern Princes Alliance.

　　Moreover, Luo Tian planned to wait until Luo Tian was 22 years old to fuse a black flame crystal to him. After the black flame crystal was fused, Luo Chen's cultivation would soar to the sky. From then on, the Luo family would have another super master and its status would be more stable. Luo Tian could then proceed with his next plan.

　　Since Luo Tian got the Black Flame Crystal, his cultivation has greatly increased. In the past thirty years, he not only annexed many small countries, but also organized a northern princes alliance. Although he did not conquer them, he actually controlled six countries and independent cities.

　　It can be said that now half of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is in Luo Tian's hands. His ultimate wish is to annex all the small vassal states north of the Gobi Desert in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and re-establish a dynasty.

　　But now, the dynasty has not been established yet, and the heir has mysteriously disappeared. How can Luo Tian not be angry?

　　"Your Majesty, I will continue to arrange people to search for the young prince. I believe there will always be clues. Now, Your Majesty, you should deal with the Jinghu Conference first. The conference is about to begin. Our arrangements for this year are not yet fully in place." In the silence, the old man in gray spoke first.

　　"What else do you need to arrange? You go and announce the start of the Jinghu Conference. I will be here in person when the conference closes. If anyone dares not to cooperate, hand over the treasures. I will kill him." Luo Tian was in a bad mood. He spoke directly and rudely.

　　Although Luo Tian was in charge of the Jinghu Conference, not all the warriors who came to participate were warriors from the Northern Princes Alliance. Luo Tian required all the warriors who participated in the conference to give him the treasures they got first for selection. This naturally angered a large number of warriors.

　　In previous years, the Luo family would make careful arrangements to deal with these matters. But this year, such arrangements were not fully completed.

　　Seeing Luo Tian's irritable look, the gray-robed old man didn't dare to say anything more. He could only bow respectfully and lead everyone out of the hall.

　　The grand event was about to begin. A large number of warriors were gathering at Jinghu Lake. However, Zhou Yun had not yet come out of retreat.

　　Liu Xiaohan and Bai He were waiting in front of the door of Zhou Yun's room, anxiously running around.

　　"Miss, Master Zhou hasn't come out yet. It's been less than three hours since the meeting started. Even if we rush over there at full speed, I'm afraid we won't have enough time." Bai He looked at Zhou Yun's tightly closed door and spoke anxiously.

　　"It's okay. Let's wait and see." His brows were slightly furrowed. Liu Xiaohan was also anxious. But she didn't think of knocking on the door and calling Zhou Yun directly.

　　Although her cultivation level was not high, Liu Xiaohan was still a warrior after all. She knew the importance of a warrior's retreat. If she was disturbed at a critical moment, the consequences would undoubtedly be extremely serious.

　　"Ah. We can only wait." After hearing what Liu Xiaohan said, Bai He could only sigh and continue to anxiously circle around Zhou Yun's door.

　　Bai He and Liu Xiaohan outside were anxious. But Zhou Yun in the room was still sitting there quietly. Although nothing could be seen on the surface, Zhou Yun was really at a critical moment of cultivation.

　　After three days of retreat, Zhou Yun's true strength has improved further and he is about to reach the peak of internal organ training and blood exchange.

　　Although Zhou Yun, who was sitting there, did not move at all and looked calm, there was a stream of air slowly rotating around him. Although it rotated very slowly, it was extremely strong. If one did not sense it carefully, one would not feel this stream of air at all. But if someone stepped in rashly, they would definitely be sucked into it. At this time, in that vast space of boundary crystals, the might created by Zhou Yun's condensed body on that dark land was even more direct. Almost one-third of the purple electric current was constantly surrounding him, making it almost impossible for people to open their eyes.

　　This was the most critical moment for Zhou Yun to reach the peak of his internal organ training and blood exchange.

　　I felt the power in my body growing little by little. Finally, I reached the peak.

　　In the vast black space, Zhou Yun's condensed body suddenly raised its head and let out a roar that shook the heavens.

　　"ah…"

　　Following this roar, Zhou Yun's body was flashing with lightning. Upon closer inspection, it was not difficult to find that these flashing lightning were not gushing out from Zhou Yun's body. Instead, the surrounding lightning power was being rapidly absorbed into Zhou Yun's body.

　　In the Liu family's guest room, a vortex was formed around Zhou Yun's body. Strong energy was being rapidly absorbed into Zhou Yun's body. As Zhou Yun continued to absorb, a vacuum space was created in the entire room.

　　boom.

　　Finally, of course, Zhou Yun's main body and condensed body were absorbed at the same time. A violent explosion occurred at the same time in the ink-colored space and the Liu family's wing room.

　　"Zhou Yun. Are you okay?" Liu Xiaohan, who had been waiting anxiously outside the door, could no longer bear the explosion. She pushed the door open and rushed in.

　　At this time, everything in the room had already been damaged. But Zhou Yun stood there quietly. Nothing happened.

　　Not only that. Liu Xiaohan was also surprised to find that Zhou Yun at this moment seemed different from before his retreat. His whole aura seemed to be more integrated.

　　"Mr. Zhou, what are you doing?" Looking at the mess in the room, Bai He was a little speechless. He didn't know what to say.

　　Zhou Yun smiled slightly. "I'm fine. The Jinghu Conference is about to start."

　　After three days, Zhou Yun's cultivation had reached the peak of internal organ blood exchange. He had felt like he was about to break through before, but his true strength had never reached the standard for a breakthrough. It was always a little short of it.

　　With this three-day training, Zhou Yun finally passed this level in one fell swoop, allowing his cultivation to be further improved. This also made Zhou Yun in a good mood.

　　"Well, there are less than three hours left. We will rush there at full speed. It is too late to take a carriage. You and the young lady have gone on horseback. I have prepared three fast horses. Let's set off quickly." Bai He nodded and spoke.

　　"Not us." He raised his hand to interrupt Bai He. Zhou Yun said, "Mr. Bai, you don't have to go this time. Just stay in the mansion. Miss Liu and I will go alone."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Bai He turned around with some embarrassment and said, "Mr. Zhou, you don't know. I will accompany the young lady to attend the Jinghu Conference this time. Everyone has known this for several months. If I don't go, I'm afraid someone will get suspicious. I will go with you and can also cover up your identity."

　　"Yes, Zhou Yun. Let Uncle Bai go with us." Liu Xiaohan also nodded. Obviously, she also thought this was a very safe method.

　　Without answering, Zhou Yun smiled slightly. He waved his hand and took out two small bottles from the space ring. He began to look at Baihe and smeared them on his face.

　　"Mr. Zhou, you..." Seeing that Zhou Yun had just casually applied the paint twice, his skin color had changed from that of a teenager to that of an old man. Bai He's face immediately showed a look of horror.

　　Ignoring Bai He's surprise, Zhou Yun continued to mix the ointment in the small bottle in his hand and smeared it. After a short while, Zhou Yun had turned into Bai He. He was even 90% similar. At first glance, even Bai He himself almost made a mistake.

　　"Zhou Yun. How did you do that?" Liu Xiaohan was shocked as she looked at the two small bottles in Zhou Yun's hand.

　　With a simple smear, Zhou Yun turned from a 17- or 18-year-old boy into a 50-year-old man. And he actually looked very similar to Bai He. This was really too unbelievable.

　　He put away the bottles in his hand. Zhou Yun said, "It's just a simple disguise. Elder Bai, come in. You stay in this room for the time being. Others will think I'm still in seclusion and won't disturb me easily. Don't come out before we come back. As for eating and delivering food, do it quietly at night. I believe that with your cultivation level, other people in the mansion won't notice. For this Jinghu Conference, I will disguise myself as you and accompany Miss Liu. Don't worry, I will protect her safety."

　　Seeing Zhou Yun transformed into himself, Bai He finally understood what Zhou Yun's plan was.

　　Indeed. If Zhou Yun followed Liu Xiaohan in his own way, it would undoubtedly be the best choice.

　　"Well, I am indeed old. Liuyun Country is indeed too powerful and too mysterious. I will stay here and wait for you to come back. Zhou Yun, please take good care of the young lady." Shaking his head sadly, Bai He walked into the room that had been blown into chaos by Zhou Yun's true power and spoke to Zhou Yun.

　　"Mr. Bai, don't worry. I will definitely protect Miss Liu and won't let anything happen to her." Zhou Yun nodded and spoke to Bai He.

　　After calming Bai He down, Zhou Yun turned around and spoke to Liu Xiaohan, who was still in a daze. "Miss, it's time. We should set off."

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun even began to imitate Bai He's voice. Liu Xiaohan was startled when she heard Zhou Yun's voice, but she reacted immediately.

　　"Okay. Let's go." Nodding, Liu Xiaohan immediately took the lead and walked ahead.

　　Chapter 171: Secret Realm Opened

　　Coming out of Baiyue City, the two of them galloped on their horses across a desert. On the way, they occasionally met one or two people who looked like warriors, who were also like Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan, urging their horses to hurry towards somewhere in the west.

　　When Zhou Yun saw the appearance of these people, he knew that they were probably the ones participating in the Jinghu Conference.

　　After riding for two hours, Zhou Yun immediately felt a trace of moisture in this desert. Now Zhou Yun's senses had become extremely sharp, and he could clearly perceive even the slightest changes in the air.

　　"Are we almost there?" Zhou Yun spoke immediately after feeling the hint of water vapor.

　　She looked at Zhou Yun in surprise, as if wondering why Zhou Yun knew the location of Mirror Lake so well. But thinking of Zhou Yun's miraculous performances in the past, Liu Xiaohan was no longer surprised. "We're almost there. Just cross this rocky area and you'll find Mirror Lake." Liu Xiaohan responded with a nod.

　　Currently, the two were in a rocky area that had been cut by the fierce winds from the Great Wall for many years, and had turned into strange rocks.

　　"Zhou Yun, you can't come to this area at night. It's windy at night and this strange rock bend is very strange. If you come here at night, you may not be able to get out." Seeing that Zhou Yun was carefully observing the terrain, Liu Xiaohan spoke immediately.

　　"Yeah, I understand." Zhou Yun responded with a nod.

　　The reason why Zhou Yun was looking at these stones carefully just now was that he vaguely felt that this terrain was very similar to the exotic animal garden he often visited at the Qin family mansion. Although the layout was simple and there was no difference, the interior was extremely magical.

　　However, Zhou Yun also knew that now was not the time to think about these issues. He concentrated his attention and moved forward. Soon, the two of them rushed out of the rocky bend together.

　　As soon as he came out of the rocky bend, a lake in the distance suddenly came into Zhou Yun's sight. Since this area was the source of almost all the major rivers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there were many huge lakes here. However, the Mirror Lake in front of him was obviously a little different.

　　"Miss Liu, the weather is not too cool at this time. At this temperature, there is fog in the Mirror Lake." Above the Mirror Lake in the distance, there was a layer of mist. Although it was not thick, it was very strange. People could not see anything in the mist at all.

　　Although he didn't know much, Zhou Yun also knew that fog would not usually form under high temperatures and strong sunshine. Seeing the fog, Zhou Yun immediately asked Liu Xiaohan beside him.

　　"I don't know why it's foggy, but according to rumors, there will be fog at this time every year during the Mirror Lake Conference." Looking at the foggy lake in the distance, Liu Xiaohan said, "Although I don't know why it's foggy, the castle will appear in the fog soon. Moreover, according to people who have entered, the castle in the fog is actually real. This is the most magical thing!"

　　After hearing what Liu Xiaohan said, Zhou Yun couldn't help but nodded. It was definitely not easy to create an illusion to this extent. Or maybe, the castle was not an illusion, but really existed in this area. It would only reflect such an illusion at a specific time and open the entrance at the same time.

　　After learning the secrets of Jie Jing, Zhou Yun had a better understanding of these things.

　　"Let's go over there." There was a small pier next to the lake. At this moment, many small boats were parked there. Many warriors gathered next to the small pier. In addition, there was a group of people wearing uniform black uniforms and guarding there with knives. It could be seen that the place should be the entrance to Mirror Lake, so Zhou Yun spoke immediately.

　　"Okay." After responding, Liu Xiaohan immediately rode his horse in front and went towards the small pier next to Mirror Lake with Zhou Yun.

　　After settling the horses, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan walked into the group of warriors and waited quietly.

　　Liu Xiaohan was extremely beautiful. As soon as she stood in the crowd, she immediately attracted everyone's attention. There was envy, greed, and fascination in these eyes. Feeling these eyes, Liu Xiaohan's face also revealed a hint of unnaturalness.

　　"Miss, don't worry, everything is fine." Standing behind Liu Xiaohan, Zhou Yun said in the hoarse voice of an old man.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan calmed down a little and nodded with relief. Although there were many people around looking at her, the Jinghu Conference was about to start, so no one was so blind as to come up and cause trouble.

　　"It's coming out, it's coming out." After waiting for a while, a strange phenomenon finally appeared slowly in the distant lake. In the fog, a dark gray castle appeared in everyone's sight at some point. As the castle appeared, several sharp-eyed warriors immediately shouted.

　　As soon as the gray castle appeared, the entire dock immediately became agitated and everyone became excited at this moment.

　　"The Mirror Lake Conference is held once every three years. I wonder what treasures will be unveiled this time." A warrior spoke excitedly as he watched the ancient castle gradually become clearer in the mist in the distance.

　　"Hmph, so what if a treasure comes to the world? It will still be taken away by the Luo family. Didn't you see that the Luo family has taken control of this place again this year?" After hearing this, another warrior immediately snorted in disdain. This year he just came to watch the fun and had no intention of going in.

　　"Luo, if he dares to do this again, I, Golden Hair, will fight him to the death and kill as many as I can!"

　　"Yes, with so many of us, how can we not be able to defeat the Luo family? Even if we really die, we must seriously injure them!"

　　Soon, all the warriors started to make a fuss again when talking about the Luo family, but the old man in gray at the dock remained calm. He had seen this situation many times. When entering the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, everyone was excited, but when they came out, they found that almost all the people who had entered with them were dead.

　　When they came out, they basically came out one by one in a staggered manner. Facing so many powerful warriors from the Luo family, their momentum naturally declined.

　　Ignoring those warriors, the old man in gray looked at Zhou Yun who was standing next to Liu Xiaohan. Although Zhou Yun had turned into Baihe at this time, the old man in gray vaguely felt a slight difference.

　　"Amazing, I can actually feel this slight difference." Seeing the gray-clothed old man fixing his gaze on him, Zhou Yun immediately spoke in his heart.

　　Zhou Yun had already felt it when he just arrived here. Those black-clothed men of the Luo family were basically practicing organ blood exchange, and there were beginner, intermediate, and peak levels. However, the old man in gray had already reached the middle stage of Yijing marrow cleansing.

　　If a butler has such accomplishments, I believe Luo Tian himself must be no ordinary person.

　　Zhou Yun was not worried that the gray-clothed old man would be able to see through him. His ability to control his aura was already very strong, and the power he released was equivalent to that of a top-level muscle-training martial artist. Moreover, Zhou Yun's disguise technique was also realistic enough. He believed that the gray-clothed old man would not be able to discover anything more except feeling something was wrong.

　　Sure enough, after his eyes lingered on Zhou Yun for a while, the old man in gray shifted his gaze.

　　At this time, there was a feeling of vibration on the Mirror Lake, and the castle in the fog opened its door with this vibration. Suddenly, a pitch-black entrance appeared in the doorway.

　　"It's open." Seeing the castle gate open, the warriors immediately cheered again.

　　At this time, the old man in gray also straightened his clothes, took two steps forward, and said loudly, "Dear heroes, the Mirror Lake Conference held every three years has begun. Please take our ferry to enter, and don't crowd!"

　　Following the words of the gray-robed old man, the Luo family warriors who were originally blocking the dock with knives in hand immediately made way for a passage, and the boats parked outside the dock also began to move.

　　"Let's go." As soon as the old man finished speaking, all the warriors gathered together little by little and headed towards the dock. Standing behind Liu Xiaohan, Zhou Yun spoke silently.

　　Nodding, Liu Xiaohan took the lead and walked towards the dock, followed by Zhou Yun.

　　Soon, the two of them, along with a dozen other warriors, boarded a ferry and headed towards the fog in the center of the lake.

　　Most of the people on the same boat with Zhou Yun and others were scattered warriors who came to the Jinghu Conference because of its reputation. These people were all unruly and dissolute by nature. When they saw the beautiful Liu Xiaohan, several of them immediately whispered and wanted to come over.

　　Without making any movement, Zhou Yun slowly took two steps forward and stood in front of Liu Xiaohan.

　　"Old man, don't make yourself uncomfortable. Let this girl come with us." Seeing that Zhou Yun actually took a step forward to block their way, one of the red-haired warriors immediately spoke out viciously.

　　This red-haired warrior had an obvious scar on his face, making him look extremely vicious, but in Zhou Yun's eyes, he was like air. If he wanted to kill him, Zhou Yun only needed to give him a random blow.

　　Without answering, Zhou Yun's gaze slowly fell on the eyes of the red-haired warrior. Faintly, a gleam of light flashed in Zhou Yun's eyes, and the red-haired warrior immediately stopped his movements.

　　At that moment just now, the red-haired warrior felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious tiger, and his hands and feet instantly became cold.

　　But when he concentrated again, the red-haired warrior found that Zhou Yun was still standing there, without any change.

　　"Could it be an illusion?" Recalling the terrifying pressure from Zhou Yun just now, the red-haired warrior began to hesitate.

　　"Redhead, what's the matter? Are you afraid to move after seeing such a beautiful woman? How about I do it?" Seeing the leading red-haired warrior stop, the warriors behind him immediately laughed.

　　"Don't cause trouble for now, let's go inside first." Looking at Zhou Yun standing there without saying a word, the red-haired warrior retreated a little. He waved his hand, and walked back with a few people beside him, no longer provoking Zhou Yun.

　　Although Zhou Yun now looks like an old man, he exudes a powerful aura that makes people dare not approach him casually.

　　Soon, there were no other warriors around Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan.

　　Suddenly, there was a slight "bang" sound, and the boat everyone was on hit something and stopped there all of a sudden.

　　"Hey, do you know how to drive the boat? If you can't, don't drive. I'll do it for you." At this moment, everyone on the boat was thrown to the ground, and only Zhou Yun remained motionless in the shock. Because Liu Xiaohan was supported by Zhou Yun, she was not affected either.

　　Facing the shouting of a group of warriors, the boatman of the Luo family said calmly, "We have reached the center of the lake. Please get off the boat. Enter through the castle in front and you will reach the Mirror Lake Secret Realm!"

　　When they heard the boatman say they had arrived, several warriors immediately started to make a noise, "How could they have arrived? There is obviously still water below!"

　　"You'll know if you go down and try it yourself." The boatman said calmly with a slight smile.

　　After hearing the boatman's words, several warriors immediately stretched their feet down doubtfully, and suddenly, solid ground was under their feet.

　　"We have really reached land." The warrior shouted as he stepped on the ground.

　　Chapter 172: The Horrifying Secret Realm

　　Seeing that the ferry had really docked, the warriors on the boat immediately rushed down and ran towards the entrance of the castle in the distance.

　　After exchanging a glance with Liu Xiaohan, Zhou Yun took the lead and walked ahead. Liu Xiaohan also followed closely behind Zhou Yun and got off the ferry.

　　Just as he stepped onto the ground, Zhou Yun looked up, only to find that the dozen or so warriors who had gotten off the boat a few seconds ago were nowhere to be seen.

　　Looking back, Zhou Yun was shocked to find that there was also a fog behind him, and he could no longer see the ferry that had brought them here.

　　"Miss Liu, where are you?" Zhou Yun was startled and immediately spoke to the person behind him. This place was too mysterious. As soon as he stepped into the ground in front of the castle, it was as if he had entered a psychedelic space. Everything in front and behind him could not be seen clearly.

　　If he got separated from Liu Xiaohan at this time, Zhou Yun could be sure that in such a place, Liu Xiaohan's chance of survival would be less than 10%.

　　"Zhou Yun, I'm here." Soon, Liu Xiaohan's somewhat panicked voice came over. Obviously, she had also noticed the situation here.

　　Upon hearing Liu Xiaohan's voice, Zhou Yun's brows immediately frowned. Liu Xiaohan was obviously only two or three meters away from him, but even at such a distance, Zhou Yun didn't even see her!

　　Zhou Yun quickly opened his spiritual sense to the maximum and immediately felt Liu Xiaohan's true position. Taking two steps forward, Zhou Yun grabbed Liu Xiaohan's hand.

　　"The situation is special, I'm sorry for being rude." Zhou Yun said in a deep voice, holding Liu Xiaohan's hand in his own.

　　In the current situation, he was afraid that if he relaxed a little, Liu Xiaohan would get separated from him.

　　"I know." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan responded weakly. In the thick fog, Zhou Yun did not see that a layer of blush had appeared on her pretty face. This was the first time in her life that she held hands with a man.

　　Although Liu Xiaohan showed a shy expression on her face, Zhou Yun did not consider these situations at all. Now was not the time to think about these issues.

　　Holding Liu Xiaohan, Zhou Yun used his spiritual sense to sense everything around him and walked slowly forward.

　　Zhou Yun's spiritual perception can cover an area of ​​more than twenty miles in radius. Although he is in the fog, Zhou Yun can still clearly sense everything on the distant dock, including the ferry on the lake.

　　However, Zhou Yun could not sense the situation ahead very clearly, because his spiritual perception could only detect the walls and gates of the castle ahead, and he had no way of sensing anything inside the castle.

　　"This Mirror Lake Secret Realm is indeed not simple." Feeling this strange phenomenon, Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

　　"Zhou Yun, what should we do now?" After being pulled by Zhou Yun for a while, Liu Xiaohan has already got used to this feeling. Remembering that she is now in the most mysterious Mirror Lake Secret Realm in the entire northern part of Northern Zhou, Liu Xiaohan immediately put away her shyness and became serious.

　　"Let's not go in yet. Follow me to the castle wall and stay there for a while. We will go in after everyone is in." Just now, because they didn't want the Luo family to notice any flaws, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan went in among the crowd and were right in the middle of the team.

　　There are a large number of people in front and behind them at this time, which is very disadvantageous for them. After thinking for a while, Zhou Yun spoke out.

　　"Yeah, okay." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan nodded silently, but soon, a new question appeared in Liu Xiaohan's mind, "Zhou Yun, it's pitch dark here, how can you be sure that others have not entered? If we wait for a long time and the secret realm is closed, what should we do?"

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun said, "Don't worry, I'm sure."

　　Although Zhou Yun could not feel anything inside the castle, everything outside could not escape Zhou Yun's spiritual perception. How could he make such a mistake?

　　Hearing Zhou Yun's relaxed voice, Liu Xiaohan finally put her mind at ease. She followed Zhou Yun to the edge of the castle wall and waited quietly.

　　"Miss Liu, I have a spare set of clothes here. It's not too eye-catching. You can simply change into it, and then I will help you change your appearance so that you won't attract too much attention." At this moment, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan were standing ten meters away from the left side of the entrance of the castle. Although they were very close to the city gate, people passing by could not see Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan at all.

　　After choosing a place to stand, Zhou Yun immediately took out a set of clothes and handed it to Liu Xiaohan.

　　Upon hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan's face immediately turned red, "Change here!?"

　　Although this place is so foggy that no one can be seen, Zhou Yun is by her side after all. How could she, a grown girl, feel embarrassed to leave?

　　"It's okay, change. No one can see, just pretend you're here alone." Zhou Yun knew what Liu Xiaohan was thinking. Originally, he planned to find a chance for Liu Xiaohan to change clothes after entering the castle, and then change into military uniform. In this way, if there was a conflict with the Luo family when they came out, it would be easier to deal with. Even if he couldn't succeed for the time being, he wouldn't cause trouble to Liu Xiaohan.

　　Her face was red as if blood could drip out. Although it was embarrassing, Liu Xiaohan obeyed Zhou Yun's words. Unknown to her, Liu Xiaohan also developed a sense of trust and reliance on Zhou Yun.

　　Liu Xiaohan was willing to listen to whatever Zhou Yun said.

　　After taking the clothes from Zhou Yun and feeling that Zhou Yun had his back to her, Liu Xiaohan immediately took off her coat and put on the relatively ordinary male warrior clothes that Zhou Yun handed to her.

　　Liu Xiaohan is very tall and it doesn't look out of place for her to wear men's clothes.

　　"Zhou Yun, I'm done changing. What should I do with my old clothes?" After a short while, Liu Xiaohan had changed her clothes, and Zhou Yun was always in her sight. He didn't even show any sign of turning around to peek at her, which made Liu Xiaohan feel warm in her heart.

　　"Give it to me." He took the clothes and put them into the space ring. Zhou Yun turned around and had two small bottles in his hand.

　　"Miss Liu, I'll change my appearance for you. The last group of people outside are about to arrive at the shore, so we should hurry up." In the fog, people could only see each other if they were within one meter of each other. Knowing that Liu Xiaohan had changed her clothes, Zhou Yun immediately came over and spoke.

　　"Yeah." Hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan put away the shyness in her heart and leaned over.

　　Looking at Liu Xiaohan's pretty face so close to him, Zhou Yun thought silently for a moment, then quickly opened the two small bottles in front of him and began to apply the liquid on Liu Xiaohan's face.

　　Then, Liu Xiaohan's originally fair skin turned into a yellowish hue, which was the skin color of a normal male warrior.

　　He applied some more on Liu Xiaohan's hands to ensure consistent skin color. Then, Zhou Yun slightly adjusted Liu Xiaohan's facial features to make her look less delicate and more masculine.

　　The whole process took Zhou Yun less than two minutes.

　　"Okay, now you are a male warrior of twenty-four or twenty-five years old. There is no problem with your appearance unless you look closely. If you can't imitate a man's voice, try to speak less and only speak when you are with me. Do you understand?" Zhou Yun said as he looked at Liu Xiaohan, whose appearance had changed drastically.

　　"Okay, I understand." Liu Xiaohan responded quickly with a nod.

　　"Okay, let's go." At this time, the last group of warriors had already climbed onto the open space in front of the castle and were walking towards the black secret door. All preparations had been made. Zhou Yun pulled Liu Xiaohan up and went directly behind the group of warriors and followed them.

　　The black door at the far end was like the gaping mouth of a monster. Before entering, Zhou Yun had a vague sense of foreboding, but he knew that he had to go there. In addition to the Black Flame Crystal, Zhou Yun also wanted to see what was in this mysterious place on the continent.

　　Soon, all the warriors had entered the secret door, and Zhou Yun then grabbed Liu Xiaohan and stepped in resolutely.

　　As soon as he entered the black secret door, Zhou Yun immediately felt a huge force pulling him forward. It was as if he had fallen into some kind of whirlpool.

　　"Be careful!" Zhou Yun hurriedly reminded and grabbed Liu Xiaohan's hand. The next moment, under the strong force, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan flew up together and were directly sucked into the black doorway.

　　He just felt dizzy, and when he regained consciousness, Zhou Yun had already fallen heavily to the ground.

　　Zhou Yun had already had experience this time because of the experience of entering the Black Flame Continent. After falling to the ground, Zhou Yun quickly recovered. After regaining consciousness, Zhou Yun immediately released his spiritual sense and began to explore the surrounding situation.

　　As soon as his spiritual sense was released, Zhou Yun immediately felt several powerful forces not far from him. These forces obviously belonged to some fierce beasts, and among them, there were also many human warriors.

　　"Miss Liu, drink some water and wake up quickly." Feeling these forces, Zhou Yun immediately pulled Liu Xiaohan over and took out some clean water for her to drink.

　　Fortunately, Zhou Yun had been holding Liu Xiaohan's hand just now, otherwise, if they suddenly fell here and were separated, Liu Xiaohan would probably have died immediately.

　　Feeling dizzy, Liu Xiaohan took two big gulps of water before she recovered a little.

　　As soon as she woke up, Liu Xiaohan immediately saw a huge green python approaching her and Zhou Yun. It had a terrifyingly huge body, blood-red eyes, and an evil and powerful feeling. As soon as the huge green python appeared, Liu Xiaohan immediately shouted in panic.

　　"Zhou Yun, be careful..." As soon as the shout came out, Liu Xiaohan immediately found that her mouth was covered by Zhou Yun. The next moment, a flash of lightning appeared on Zhou Yun's body as he turned his back to the giant python, and his left fist directly hit backwards.

　　Suddenly, a blue lightning force burst out. Just as the giant python was about to attack, it was hit on the head by the lightning force.

　　Zip! Zip!

　　A strong sound of electricity was heard, and the giant python was instantly turned into a huge piece of charcoal by the lightning power emitted by Zhou Yun!

　　Oh!

　　Seeing Zhou Yun solve a giant python monster so easily, Liu Xiaohan's heart finally settled down a little, but then, a warrior in the distance had his head almost chopped off by a huge, lion-like beast.

　　Looking at the scene in the distance, Liu Xiaohan's heart, which had originally calmed down, became tense again.

　　Chapter 173: Black Beast

　　Zhou Yun had also seen the scene of the warrior's death in the distance. He tightly held Liu Xiaohan's hand, telling her not to be too nervous. Zhou Yun was also thinking quickly in his mind.

　　The warrior who was killed just now had a fairly high level of cultivation. In Zhou Yun's opinion, the warrior's cultivation level was probably at the peak of the internal organ blood exchange stage. The beast was also at the same level. It was just that the rotation was too strong just now, which caused the warrior to lose his ability to resist for a while and was easily killed.

　　But even so, Zhou Yun didn't think that warrior could survive for long.

　　Because Zhou Yun had already sensed that there were more than just one ferocious beast around.

　　"Ms. Liu, we must first figure out where we are, and then consider what to do next." After killing the giant python, no other beasts wanted to approach for a short time. Zhou Yun immediately turned around and said to Liu Xiaohan who was standing beside him.

　　"Well, Zhou Yun, you arrange it. I'll listen to you." Looking at the huge black body of the giant python in the distance, Liu Xiaohan answered quickly. Although she had imagined what the scene in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm was like before, she really didn't expect it to be so dangerous here.

　　The density and powerful strength of the beasts here shocked Liu Xiaohan. She had never encountered such a powerful beast in her life.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun who was standing in front of her and observing everything, Liu Xiaohan couldn't help but feel a little grateful and relieved. If she hadn't met Zhou Yun in the dense forest outside Sansheng Mountain that day, she would probably be dead now.

　　Zhou Yun naturally didn't know about Liu Xiaohan's thoughts. Now Zhou Yun was quickly observing everything around him.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan were in a not very dense forest. The ground of the forest was not flat. There were often small pools of water. There were also many gravels and potholes. It looked mysterious and strange. The only good thing was that there was no fog like before. The sight would not be blocked.

　　Opening his spiritual sense to the maximum, Zhou Yun began to sense the situation in this area.

　　Now if Zhou Yun's spiritual sense is maximized, it can sense a range of more than 20 miles. But this time, Zhou Yun's spiritual sense did not touch the edge of this forest. Although he did not feel the edge of the forest, Zhou Yun found that the more west the forest went, the denser the trees became. Could it be that he should go west?

　　"This place is so big." Zhou Yun immediately whispered in surprise when he realized that his spiritual sense had not touched the edge of the forest.

　　"What?" Liu Xiaohan asked immediately after hearing Zhou Yun's sudden words.

　　"Nothing." Zhou Yun responded casually. He looked up and around. Then he spoke. "Miss Liu, you stay here. I'm going to the tree to check out the surrounding environment."

　　"Yeah. Be careful." Liu Xiaohan nodded and responded.

　　After getting Liu Xiaohan's response, Zhou Yun looked around and then chose a tree about 10 meters away that was nearly 30 meters tall.

　　Bringing Liu Xiaohan to the tree, Zhou Yun sensed the surroundings and found that no other beasts were paying attention to this place. Then Zhou Yun quickly climbed up the tree.

　　The higher up the tree went, the thinner the trunk became. Fortunately, Zhou Yun's cultivation was already very high. Relying on the floating power, Zhou Yun's own weight could be reduced to a very light level. Soon, Zhou Yun climbed to the top of the tree.

　　Climbing on the tree, Zhou Yun began to observe the surroundings. After taking a look, Zhou Yun was immediately dumbfounded. The three directions of the forest, east, south and north, could be seen relatively clearly. However, the height and density of the trees in the forest on the west side were constantly increasing. Although he had climbed to such a high altitude, Zhou Yun still could not see anything.

　　"This is the only way." After feeling that there were no beasts around that could threaten him, Zhou Yun immediately jumped up.

　　With the help of the inner strength, Zhou Yun's body suddenly rose more than 20 meters from the top of the tree.

　　This time, the situation at the far west end of the forest truly came into Zhou Yun's sight.

　　To the west of the current location, in the distant dense forest, an ancient castle really came into view. Although it was only for a short two seconds, Zhou Yun could already see it clearly. The castle was exactly the one they saw in the thick fog on the lake outside.

　　In a pure dense forest, the ancient castle should be the real core of the Mirror Lake Secret Realm.

　　call.

　　He had seen what he wanted to see clearly. Zhou Yun also stayed in the air for the longest time. When the aura dissipated, Zhou Yun immediately fell from the air.

　　"Let's go. It's not suitable to stay here any longer." After landing on the ground, Zhou Yun immediately pulled up Liu Xiaohan and walked quickly towards the north. Zhou Yun had just jumped too high and had already attracted the attention of many ferocious beasts. It was not a wise choice to continue staying here.

　　She was surprised that Zhou Yun could jump so high. She couldn't see clearly at a distance of fifty meters. At that height, Zhou Yun was just a tiny dot. Although she was shocked, Liu Xiaohan still understood the current situation. She followed Zhou Yun closely. The two of them walked forward quickly. They only encountered two not-so-strong beasts on the way. Zhou Yun killed them easily. After a while, they were two miles away from where Zhou Yun was just now. They were basically safe.

　　"Zhou Yun. What did you see?" They paused. The two stopped under a big tree. Liu Xiaohan immediately asked Zhou Yun. Liu Xiaohan was also very curious about everything in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm. She really had never thought that the Mirror Lake Secret Realm would be like this.

　　Zhou Yun took out a pot of water from his space ring. He also took out a small bottle of medicine powder. He used the water to wash his face. Soon, the old skin that was originally used for disguise was washed away by Zhou Yun.

　　At this moment, Liu Xiaohan and Zhou Yun were no longer the same as when they entered the secret realm. No one could recognize them as members of the Liu family.

　　After cleaning, Zhou Yun took out a blue robe and put it on. While putting it on, he responded, "This forest is very large. I have seen the castle in the mist. It is on the west side. It is about 40 miles away from here."

　　"How can there be such a large space in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm? The entire Mirror Lake is only twenty miles in radius." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan immediately exclaimed in surprise. He originally thought that the Mirror Lake Secret Realm was just a small island in the center of the Mirror Lake. It just rose up under certain circumstances.

　　But the truth is not like that at all. Mirror Lake is only that big. So where does such a large space in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm come from?

　　Actually, Liu Xiaohan's idea was not strange. Zhou Yun naturally knew that this Mirror Lake Secret Realm should be a crystal that would be opened under certain conditions. But Zhou Yun did not intend to tell Liu Xiaohan this secret.

　　Knowing this might not be good for her.

　　"I don't know these things either. But don't think too much. Since we are here, let's go forward. No matter what, we have to go to the castle in the center to have a look." Zhou Yun stood up immediately after putting on the blue brocade robe and spoke to Liu Xiaohan.

　　There was still a look of doubt and surprise on his face. But Liu Xiaohan did not ask any more questions. He followed Zhou Yun and the two of them moved towards the west side of the forest.

　　Zhou Yun's route kept changing as they moved forward. Although there were beasts roaring around them, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan surprisingly did not encounter any beasts. Looking at Zhou Yun leading the way, Liu Xiaohan could not help but sigh in her heart.

　　Zhou Yun is really too mysterious. He has a high level of cultivation. He knows a lot. He seems to have many special abilities. Could it be that all warriors from Liuyun Country are really so powerful?

　　Zhou Yun was the reason why he didn't encounter any ferocious beasts. Along the way, Zhou Yun's spiritual sense was open in a small range. Although it was not open to cover the entire area of ​​20 miles, he could still take in everything within the surrounding two or three miles.

　　With spiritual perception as a guide, Zhou Yun would naturally selectively avoid some ferocious beasts and avoid some unnecessary troubles.

　　"Hmm..." Suddenly, Zhou Yun, who was walking quickly, stopped and snorted.

　　"Zhou Yun. What's wrong?" Seeing Zhou Yun stop, Liu Xiaohan immediately went over to ask.

　　He did not reply immediately. Zhou Yun looked towards a small pond about 500 meters away. A look of doubt flashed across his eyes. There seemed to be something in the pond.

　　According to Zhou Yun's spiritual perception, there seemed to be a small house under the pool. But Zhou Yun had no way to confirm it. Because there seemed to be a force in the pool that could block Zhou Yun's spiritual perception. Although Zhou Yun's spiritual perception could still extend, the exploration was not very clear.

　　"Could it be that this is also something similar to the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower?" Zhou Yun thought to himself. He turned his right hand slightly. Suddenly, the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber appeared in Zhou Yun's hand.

　　"Miss Liu, follow me. Don't get too close. Keep a distance of 30 meters." Zhou Yun said to Liu Xiaohan behind him. He held the sword tightly and walked over step by step.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's expression suddenly become so serious, Liu Xiaohan also took out the long sword hanging on his waist and followed Zhou Yun step by step.

　　Soon, Zhou Yun had already approached the pool with a knife in hand. Liu Xiaohan was also waiting in ambush 30 meters away from Zhou Yun.

　　"This pond is really a bit strange." Zhou Yun had already reached the edge of the pond, but he found that he still couldn't use his spiritual sense to fully explore everything in the pond.

　　Crouching down, Zhou Yun wanted to get closer to see what was under the pool.

　　puff.

　　As soon as he squatted down, Zhou Yun immediately felt a strange surge in the water in the pool. Suddenly, a huge sense of danger entered Zhou Yun's mind.

　　Before Zhou Yun could even think, a black beast immediately emerged from the pool. Its bloody mouth opened wide and it bit Zhou Yun.

　　"Shake the sword." Almost instinctively, Zhou Yun swung the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber in his hand vigorously. A strong force was launched from the tip of the sword. It collided with the black shadow with a gray gust of wind.

　　bump.

　　The distance of the collision was too close, and Zhou Yun was even knocked back a step by the force.

　　The black beast was not dead after being attacked by Zhou Yun. After falling to the ground, it pounced on Zhou Yun again without giving up.

　　This time, Zhou Yun, who was fully prepared, naturally would not give it any chance.

　　Brush, brush, brush.

　　Three strong sword lights were emitted in succession. Three sword qi hit the little beast from three directions almost at the same time. This time, the little beast had no chance to escape. It was knocked down by Zhou Yun in mid-air. It couldn't be deader.

　　"Zhou Yun. Are you okay?" The danger appeared quickly and disappeared quickly. It was not until Zhou Yun finished the battle that Liu Xiaohan at the far end reacted.

　　Chapter 174: Thunder's Might

　　"Don't worry, I'm fine," Zhou Yun adjusted his breathing, still frightened, and spoke slowly. He was really scared when the black little beast suddenly rushed out of the water. The little beast's cultivation was not high, and it only had the feeling of the middle stage of practicing internal organs and exchanging blood, but it was hiding in the water and could not be felt at all, which made Zhou Yun almost fall for it. Although the little beast's cultivation was average, if it had bitten Zhou Yun's head just now, I'm afraid even Zhou Yun would have died. "What the hell is this thing? I've never seen such a ferocious beast before," Liu Xiaohan was relieved to see that Zhou Yun was fine. Following Zhou Yun, Liu Xiaohan also began to observe the corpse lying on the ground. After taking a look, Liu Xiaohan immediately felt something weird. She had never seen this little beast before, and had never even heard of it. Having said that, Zhou Yun's attention was also focused on the little beast at this time. The whole body of the little beast was black, and its skin was extremely smooth, like a seal. Its four claws were fan-shaped, coordinating with the whole body to present a streamlined state. At a glance at its size, Zhou Yun knew that the little beast's movements underwater were definitely extraordinary swiftness. Moreover, the little beast's mouth was surprisingly large, full of terrifying fangs, which should be the weapon it relied on to attack. Zhou Yun could clearly see clearly just now that when the little beast pounced on the attack, its entire mouth grew to an incredible size. If Zhou Yun had not dodged it, I'm afraid his entire head would have been bitten off by it. After hearing Liu Xiaohan's question, Zhou Yun slowly said, "I have never seen such a thing. It looks like a variant of a carnivorous fish."

　　After confirming that he had never seen such a thing, Zhou Yun did not waste any more time and took out the Yuan Dan of the little beast. Zhou Yun stood up and continued to observe the pool in front of him. Zhou Yun was really not sure how many small beasts like this were in the water. Now, Zhou Yun really did not dare to go down rashly. Just by looking at this little beast, you can tell that its speed underwater is extremely fast. If you go down like this rashly, once you are besieged by a group of such ferocious beasts, you will probably be eaten up in a moment. "Zhou Yun, what's in this pool?" Standing beside Zhou Yun, Liu Xiaohan naturally saw that Zhou Yun was very concerned about this pool. Knowing that Zhou Yun's concern would not be without reason, Liu Xiaohan immediately asked, silently shaking his head, Zhou Yun said, "I don't know either, I just know that there is something in this pool, but I'm not sure what it is. Now I have a judgment in my mind, but I don't know if it is accurate."

　　"What judgment?" Liu Xiaohan asked immediately after hearing Zhou Yun's words. After thinking for a while, Zhou Yun said, "I just checked. The place where we fell into the Mirror Lake Secret Realm is at least 40 miles away from the real central castle. There are many dangers along the way, and there are countless powerful beasts. With the cultivation level of the warriors participating in the Mirror Lake Conference, it is impossible for them to reach the castle in the dense forest. But if they don't reach the castle, where did the treasures produced by the Mirror Lake Conference in recent years come from?"

　　"You mean, there are some treasures hidden in this dense forest," Liu Xiaohan is also a smart woman. When she heard Zhou Yun's words, she immediately understood what Zhou Yun meant. "Well, that should be the case," Zhou Yun nodded and spoke slowly. This discovery was based on Zhou Yun's experience of searching for the Shadow Knife Sect's secret treasure in the Black Dragon Mountains at that time. At that time, Zhou Yun also knew that the Shadow Knife Sect's real secret treasure should be halfway up the Black Dragon Mountains, but at a small pond at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Yun also found a Shadow Knife Sect's power transmission tower. Although he didn't get any treasures, he did get the Shadow Knife Sect's secret book. According to the various phenomena in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, it is proved that all the treasures in this secret realm must not be concentrated in the castle, and there must be some things in the dense forest outside. Seeing that Zhou Yun confirmed her idea, Liu Xiaohan thought about it silently and agreed with Zhou Yun's words, but facing this pond, Liu Xiaohan was a little hesitant, "Zhou Yun, this pool of water is really strange. Standing here, you can't see what's in it at all. The water is obviously clear, but the visibility is less than half a meter, as if something is absorbing the light below. Moreover, there is no telling how many small animals like this are below. We'd better not take the risk to go down." Seeing that Zhou Yun had been staring at the pool of water, Liu Xiaohan was very afraid that Zhou Yun wanted to go down to find out, so she hurriedly persuaded him. In fact, Zhou Yun understood what Liu Xiaohan said. He had the responsibility for Lin Junyao and his sister Zhou Xue, and perhaps, Li Xiaoxiao. Although Zhou Yun is working very hard now, he will not take his life lightly. "I got it," suddenly, his eyes lit up, and Zhou Yun thought of a brilliant idea. He waved to Liu Xiaohan behind him, and Zhou Yun said, "Miss Liu, please step back and don't get close to me."

　　Seeing Zhou Yun suddenly become alert, Liu Xiaohan knew that Zhou Yun might have found a way to solve the current dilemma. "Be careful." Although she didn't know what Zhou Yun was going to do, Liu Xiaohan still obediently retreated more than ten steps and instructed Zhou Yun. He nodded. Zhou Yun took a deep breath. After confirming that Liu Xiaohan had retreated, Zhou Yun immediately began to mobilize the lightning power in his body. After entering the Black Flame Continent, Zhou Yun had never used his full strength to activate his lightning power. Including when he released the Myriad Thunder Prison to kill Luo Chen, Zhou Yun only used 50% of his strength. In addition, before coming to the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, Zhou Yun's cultivation had already broken through to the peak of internal organ training and blood exchange, and the strength of his true power was even higher. Now, when he used all his strength, Zhou Yun immediately created a mighty formation with a very strong visual effect, Zi Zi... Zi Zi...

　　, The sound of lightning continued to come out, and with the urging of true power, lightning as thick as a bowl began to surround Zhou Yun's body. Now Zhou Yun seemed to be bathed in lightning. In this state, other people would probably be killed by the lightning arc on Zhou Yun's body if they touched him, let alone approached him. There were many purple arcs in the layers of blue lightning. The speed of those purple lightnings was faster, and the sound lines they brought out were stronger. There was an extremely pure and incomparable feeling. Watching Zhou Yun perform his power, Liu Xiaohan, who had retreated more than ten steps, was deeply shocked again. Originally, she thought that the power Zhou Yun displayed when killing Luo Chen was already an incredible and terrifying power, but now looking at Zhou Yun's state, Liu Xiaohan knew that when killing Luo Tian and others, Zhou Yun probably didn't try his best. When the power was condensed, Zhou Yun's nostrils were always tightened, and he was slowly inhaling air into his chest. As Zhou Yun's chest swelled to the highest point, the power condensed in his body also reached its highest point in an instant, "Strike with crazy lightning."

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun shouted in a low voice and punched out with his right fist. Instantly, a blue lightning as thick as a bucket mixed with a little purple light hit the surface of the pool, Zizi... Zizi... Zizi...

　　Suddenly, a strong electric current began to rage wildly in the water. The water in the entire pool was boiling under Zhou Yun's powerful electric current. This lightning lasted for nearly ten seconds. As Zhou Yun withdrew the lightning, the pool slowly returned to calm. Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...

　　As the water calmed down, suddenly, black figures as long as arms emerged from the water with their white bellies turned up. They were the small beasts that had just jumped out to attack Zhou Yun. There were as many as thirty or forty of them. But now, all of them were electrocuted in the water by the powerful electric current emitted by Zhou Yun. Finally, after the last small beast emerged from the water, Zhou Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly finished his exercise. "It should be safe now," Zhou Yun smiled easily as he looked at the small beasts floating on the surface of the pool. He reached deep into the pool with his right hand and made a few empty grabs at the pool. The electrocuted small beasts were immediately swept up by Zhou Yun's true power and thrown onto the shore one by one. "Zhou Yun, are all these beasts dead?" Seeing Zhou Yun , Liu Xiaohan had already approached from behind. At this time, the black beasts that were electrocuted were thrown all over the ground. Looking at the ugly corpses of the beasts, Liu Xiaohan said with lingering fear, "Well, the power of thunder and lightning will be stimulated in the water. These beasts thought that they would be fine if they stayed in the water. Now it seems that there is still a way to deal with them," Zhou Yun said with a smile. He was very satisfied with coming up with this method to deal with these beasts. He quickly took out the Yuandan of these beasts and put them away. Zhou Yun's attention was once again on the pool of water. "Do you want to go down?" Seeing Zhou Yun's thoughts, Liu Xiaohan asked with concern, "Well, I have to go down and take a look. I always feel that this pool of water is very beautiful. ... There must be something in it, which can also verify some of my ideas," Zhou Yun nodded and said. After entering the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, Zhou Yun had already made his own judgment about this area. According to Zhou Yun's idea, this secret realm should be left by a certain sage, and there must be a lot of treasures in it, but Zhou Yun was not completely sure whether he could reach the final castle, especially since he was still with Liu Xiaohan. Under such circumstances, being able to get more treasures and collect more Black Flame Crystals in this secret realm is the most important thing. If there are really Black Flame Crystals in such a pool of water, then Zhou Yun's next action goal will change accordingly, "Then you must be careful, I'm here "I'll wait for you," seeing that Zhou Yun had made a decision, Liu Xiaohan didn't say much, "You be careful here, hold on to the rope yourself, if there is any danger, you can pull the rope, I will be the first to come out, if it's too late, you can just jump down, understand?" This dense forest is full of dangers, Zhou Yun is actually very worried about Liu Xiaohan, but if he lets her go down with him, Zhou Yun can't guarantee that there won't be greater dangers below, so he took out a piece of rope and tied it around his arm, and handed the other end of the rope to Liu Xiaohan, Zhou Yun spoke, seeing that Zhou Yun considered it so carefully for her, Liu Xiaohan's eyes were also touched, nodded, Liu Xiaohan said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself,"

　　"Hmm," Zhou Yun responded, took a deep breath, and suddenly jumped into the pool in front of him. Once he entered the pool, he held his breath and sank all the way down. Soon, he had touched the bottom of the pool. There was indeed a small room at the bottom of the pool. Seeing this room, Zhou Yun immediately touched it.

　　Chapter 175 Black Flame Crystal

　　Soon, Zhou Yun felt around the small house and found the entrance. Due to being soaked in water for a long time, the door of the small house was very heavy. But now Zhou Yun's strength is far beyond what it was before. After a little preparation, Zhou Yun pushed hard, and the heavy and rusty door was immediately pushed open by Zhou Yun. Wow, as soon as the door was pushed open, a dazzling light immediately shone out from the small room. Zhou Yun hurriedly looked, but found that everything in the room was extremely simple, with only the most important "Could it be that this is the Black Flame Crystal?" Zhou Yun swam over quickly and put the black stone into his space ring. "Well," the black crystal was After Zhou Yun put it into the space ring, Zhou Yun immediately felt that his spiritual sense had completely controlled this area. Feeling this change, Zhou Yun couldn't help but snorted slightly. This thing also has the ability to block spiritual detection. As long as it is around this crystal, my spiritual sense cannot completely penetrate. Feeling the changes around him, Zhou Yun couldn't help but think in his heart. Just as Zhou Yun was thinking, suddenly, the rope tied to his arm was pulled tightly. His face changed, and Zhou Yun immediately swam out of the room and rose rapidly. This rope was tied to Zhou Yun's hand before he went into the water, so that Liu Xiaohan could contact him in a critical moment. Now Liu Xiaohan began to pull the rope, and Zhou Yun naturally had to hurry up. While rising, Zhou Yun was still using his spiritual sense to feel the situation above. Beside Liu Xiaohan by the lake, there were actually three more warriors at this moment. At the edge of the lake, Liu Xiaohan, who had been disguised as a male warrior by Zhou Yun, At this moment, she was surrounded by three other warriors, all of whom were in their thirties. The leader had red hair. Upon closer inspection, she was shocked to find that these warriors were the ones who took the same ferry with Zhou Yun and others. "Boy, whatever treasure you got, hand it over obediently. If you are more self-conscious, I, your grandpa, may be able to spare your life if I am happy." Surrounding Liu Xiaohan there, the leading red-haired warrior laughed sinisterly. Liu Xiaohan had met these three people on the ferry, but she did not have the same appearance as now. Looking at the three people who were approaching step by step from the distance, Liu Xiaohan felt anxious. In fact, this time she came to the Mirror Lake Secret Realm more because of her responsibilities. In fact, her strength was not enough to survive here. Looking at the three people, Liu Xiaohan subconsciously pulled the rope in her hand, "Red head, look, there are so many corpses of ferocious beasts." At this time, a smaller one among the three The black-clothed warrior immediately saw the pile of ferocious beast corpses on the ground. After hearing his companion's words, the red-haired warrior also reacted immediately and looked at the corpses of the black beasts beside Liu Xiaohan. "The Yuan Dan has been taken out. It must be on this kid." Looking at the broken heads of the black beasts, the red-haired warrior's eyes immediately exuded a greedy light. Although they have entered the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, things like the Black Flame Crystal are not something that everyone can get. Most of the warriors who come here are for wealth. If there is no Black Flame Crystal, it is undoubtedly a very good harvest to get so many ferocious beast Yuan Dan. Those black beasts seem to have the cultivation level of refining organs and exchanging blood. The Yuan Dan of a ferocious beast of this level is also very valuable, not to mention so many of them. Swoosh, suddenly, a cold light flashed, and the red-haired warrior drew out the sword in his hand and threatened, "Hand over all the ferocious beast Yuan Dan quickly."

　　The red-haired warrior had already sensed that the young warrior in front of him must be a rookie. He could tell from the tense feeling in his body. Thinking of this, the red-haired warrior became more confident. "Redhead, don't bother with him. He definitely didn't kill these beasts. Maybe there are others around this kid. Let's kill him first, take the things and leave quickly." Seeing Liu Xiaohan standing there in a daze, the black-clothed boy behind him spoke immediately, and a dagger coated with a little green juice quietly appeared in front of him. "That makes sense," nodded the red-haired warrior, who also approved of the suggestion of the smaller man. With the sword in his hand swung, the red-haired warrior rushed towards Liu Xiaohan with all his strength. As the sword swung, a powerful sword energy immediately swept over. The red-haired warrior had reached the peak of internal organ refining and blood exchange, and Liu Xiaohan could not resist it at all. In the dangerous moment, Liu Xiaohan used all her strength and raised the long sword in her hand to meet it. Clang, a violent collision sound was heard, and Liu Xiaohan retreated three steps, and the long sword in his hand had broken into two pieces, "Ah,"

　　Facing danger, Liu Xiaohan also forgot what Zhou Yun told her not to reveal her voice unless it was absolutely necessary, and she directly shouted in a female voice. Upon hearing this voice, the red-haired warrior was immediately stunned, "It turned out to be a girl."

　　"Red head, this is the girl who was on the same boat with us. I remembered her. Look at her sword," Liu Xiaohan's voice came out, and the short man in black immediately reacted. Although Liu Xiaohan's appearance had changed, the long sword on her waist had not changed. It was still the long sword she had when she was on the boat. "Take her away." They didn't expect that the young warrior in front of them was the woman who had changed her appearance, and she was the beautiful woman they wanted to get their hands on on the boat. The red-haired warrior's eyes immediately showed excitement, and he immediately grabbed Liu Xiaohan. "No," looking at the hand that was getting closer and closer, Liu Xiaohan finally couldn't help shouting. Puff, as soon as Liu Xiaohan shouted, a gray knife energy immediately burst out from behind Liu Xiaohan. The knife energy was extremely sharp, and the red-haired warrior had almost no time to react before his arm was cut off in the middle. One arm was immediately split in the middle. , It was as if it had become two arms, "Ah" I didn't expect this to happen. Feeling the severe pain in my arm, the red-haired warrior immediately howled miserably. Wow, it was not until this time that a wave suddenly rose in the pool behind, and Zhou Yun's figure had appeared beside Liu Xiaohan, "You are looking for death," seeing that the red-haired warrior was injured like this by Zhou Yun, the other two warriors immediately rushed up regardless of anything. Looking at the two warriors who rushed up, Zhou Yun shook his head indifferently and raised his right hand. Suddenly, two sword qi had been emitted from Zhou Yun's fingertips. Puff, puff, suddenly, the gray sword qi directly passed through the necks of the two warriors, Gululu, Gululu, a trace of blood appeared at the neck position, the two warriors fell directly, their heads separated from their bodies, and rolled to the side, "Ah, you, you are not human," Seeing his two companions being killed at once, the red-haired warrior collapsed immediately. In all the years he had lived in the Black Flame Continent, he had never seen someone like Zhou Yun, who could actually emit sword energy without a sword, and it was so casual and swift, and the power was so terrifying. Seeing Zhou Yun standing there calmly, the red-haired warrior seemed to have seen a ghost, and wanted to turn around and escape. In this state, how could he possibly escape? Such an escape was more because of the fear in his heart. He emitted another sword energy, and the red-haired warrior was directly killed by Zhou Yun. Seeing that all the dangers had been resolved, Liu Xiaohan's tense nerves finally relaxed. His body softened, and Liu Xiaohan squatted down directly, covering his face with his hands, and gently inhaled. The pressure he had been bearing for a long time finally broke out at this time, and Liu Xiaohan couldn't help but began to cry, "Okay!" It's okay, it's okay," Zhou Yun couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he saw Liu Xiaohan like this. Although Liu Xiaohan's situation was similar to that of his sister Zhou Xue at that time, Zhou Yun knew that Liu Xiaohan had it much harder than Zhou Xue. After all, Zhou Xue only had to take care of him, while Liu Xiaohan carried the hope of the entire Baiyue City on her young shoulders. Moreover, since her appearance was better than Zhou Xue's, Liu Xiaohan's situation was undoubtedly more difficult. Without much comfort, Zhou Yun just stood there quietly, waiting for Liu Xiaohan to gradually calm down. There was not much Zhou Yun could do for Liu Xiaohan. After all, he did not belong to the Black Flame Continent, and there was no way to help Liu Xiaohan too much. After a month, Zhou Yun would leave here. After a long time, Liu Xiaohan's emotions finally calmed down a little. She raised her head, Liu Xiaohan looked at Zhou Yun, and said in a low voice, "Zhou Yun, do you think I am useless?"

　　Although it was the face of a young man at this time, Liu Xiaohan's eyes were so moving. With a slight smile, Zhou Yun helped Liu Xiaohan stand up. "No, you have done very well. You have shouldered much more than my sister. It is not easy to achieve this step. Relax a little, everything will be fine."

　　Listening to Zhou Yun's comfort, Liu Xiaohan's mood finally stabilized a little. At this time, Liu Xiaohan just remembered that Zhou Yun went to the bottom of the pool, "Zhou Yun, you are not injured, what's in the pool?" After looking Zhou Yun up and down, wanting to see if he was injured, Liu Xiaohan asked with concern. Since Zhou Yun went into the water, Liu Xiaohan has been worried and uneasy. This is why he suddenly broke out after meeting the red-haired warrior. With a slight smile, Zhou Yun waved his hand to take out the mysterious black stone at that moment, and said, "I'm fine, those beasts were electrocuted to death, I found this underwater."

　　"Black Flame Crystal," Liu Xiaohan shouted in surprise when he saw what Zhou Yun was holding. Zhou Yun immediately showed a relaxed smile when he heard what Liu Xiaohan said. Sure enough, this thing was the Black Flame Crystal he was looking for.

　　Chapter 176: The Giant Tree

　　"It seems that we need to change our strategy." After putting away the Black Flame Crystal, Zhou Yun smiled and spoke to Liu Xiaohan.

　　Nodding, Liu Xiaohan agreed with Zhou Yun's words. Dangers can be found everywhere in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm. If one insists on reaching the castle in the central area, he will probably encounter many dangers.

　　The most important thing is that Zhou Yun still has to take her with him and take care of her, which is naturally more difficult.

　　Thinking of this, Liu Xiaohan immediately recalled what happened just now and said to Zhou Yun, "Zhou Yun, you were a little anxious when you came up just now. Have you searched under the pool? Is there only this one Black Flame Crystal?"

　　In fact, in Liu Xiaohan's view, being able to obtain a Black Flame Crystal was already a huge benefit, but she knew that Zhou Yun might want more than just this one.

　　"We've searched everything. There won't be anything else. Let's move on." Nodding, Zhou Yun said.

　　After what happened just now, Zhou Yun has confirmed that this Black Flame Crystal does have the effect of hindering his spiritual detection. After collecting this piece of Black Flame Crystal, everything around can be clearly sensed by Zhou Yun, which means that there are no more Black Flame Crystals around.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan nodded slightly and was ready to follow Zhou Yun to continue searching.

　　Looking at the long sword broken into two pieces on the ground, Zhou Yun waved his hand slightly, and immediately, a gorgeous long sword appeared in Zhou Yun's hand.

　　"Miss Liu, your sword is no longer usable. I'll give you this one." Zhou Yun had snatched this sword from the hands of those noble children in the Shenwei Training Camp. He had originally planned to exchange it for money after leaving the Shenwei Training Camp. Now that Liu Xiaohan had no weapon, he naturally had to take out the sword and give it to her.

　　Zhou Yun had three such long swords in total. If he lost this one, he would lose one million taels of silver. Zhou Yun didn't care much about this money now.

　　After his cultivation reached a certain level, one million taels were no longer that important in Zhou Yun's eyes. This time when he entered the Shenwei Training Camp, the treasures he snatched from those noble sons alone were worth tens of millions of taels.

　　Liu Xiaohan silently took the long sword handed over by Zhou Yun and put the new long sword on her waist. She could see that this long sword was much more precious than the one she used originally.

　　But thanking her at this time would seem too artificial. How could Zhou Yun's help to her be wiped out with just a simple thank you?

　　"Zhou Yun, if you don't mind, just call me Xiaohan from now on. Although you will be leaving in a month, you will always be my good friend. No matter what you have in the future, as long as I can do it for you, I will never shirk my responsibility." Looking at Zhou Yun seriously, Liu Xiaohan spoke solemnly.

　　"Let's go." Zhou Yun smiled slightly without saying anything else.

　　Zhou Yun also admired Liu Xiaohan very much. Although he didn't know whether he would have more connections with the Black Flame Continent in the future, Zhou Yun was still willing to make friends with Liu Xiaohan.

　　Everything around has been tidied up, and Zhou Yun immediately started walking forward. Although he didn't have to enter the castle in the center of Mirror Lake Secret Realm, it was always better to get closer. Zhou Yun also wanted to see how far he could go.

　　With the experience just now, Zhou Yun's purpose was much clearer when he was walking. His spiritual sense had been fully released. Zhou Yun carefully checked the surroundings for any source of power that might hinder his spiritual sense detection.

　　As long as he encountered a range that his spiritual sense could not detect, there must be a Black Flame Crystal in it. Using this exploration method, Zhou Yun found seven more Black Flame Crystals in three days.

　　He had advanced more than 20 miles, and now, Zhou Yun was only a dozen miles away from the central castle of the Mirror Lake Secret Realm. After walking for so many days, Zhou Yun had accumulated a lot of experience, and his spiritual sense was no longer open to the maximum all the time, but was fully opened every once in a while, and usually only maintained a small range of opening, covering an area of ​​one mile in radius.

　　While walking, Zhou Yun's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his eyes looked at a green giant tree that was more than 50 meters tall in the distance. At this point, the surrounding forest was already very dense, but there were no other trees around the green giant tree, not even a blade of grass, which looked very strange.

　　"Zhou Yun, have you discovered anything new?" Seeing Zhou Yun stop, Liu Xiaohan immediately asked.

　　In the past few days, Liu Xiaohan has been completely impressed by Zhou Yun's abilities. As long as Zhou Yun stops at a certain place, he will be able to find the Black Flame Crystal after a battle, and he never fails. Such an ability seems incredible to Liu Xiaohan.

　　Standing there, Zhou Yun stared at the giant tree in the distance with a serious expression.

　　Normally, when Zhou Yun sensed that there was a force blocking his detection, that force usually only covered an area of ​​about ten meters in radius.

　　But this time, the range that Zhou Yun felt that blocked the power of spiritual detection suddenly covered an area of ​​about two hundred meters.

　　Zhou Yun was unable to detect such a large area with his spiritual sense, which meant that there was definitely more than one Black Flame Crystal in that area. After a few days of fighting, Zhou Yun had discovered that the ability of the beast guarding the Black Flame Crystal changed with the number of Black Flame Crystals it guarded.

　　There was an incident a few days ago when Zhou Yun encountered a phantom wolf with the initial stage of Yi Jin Xi Sui in an undetectable place. Although Zhou Yun won the battle, Liu Xiaohan almost got into danger.

　　The Phantom Demon Wolf was vicious and cunning. It knew it could not defeat Zhou Yun, so it tried to bypass Zhou Yun and attack Liu Xiaohan several times. However, the Phantom Demon Wolf was so fast and had strange movements that it almost succeeded.

　　If Zhou Yun had not seen through the activity patterns of the beasts guarding the Black Flame Crystal and judged that they would never leave the Black Flame Crystal, he would have protected Liu Xiaohan by his side and approached the location of the Black Flame Crystal step by step. In the end, he would have lured the Phantom Wolf to attack actively. Zhou Yun was confident that he could kill the Phantom Wolf.

　　That phantom wolf was guarding two black flame crystals.

　　And now, the range of this area that cannot be detected is so large, which means that there are definitely more than one Black Flame Crystals here, and it cannot be two or three. It is very likely that there are more than ten or even dozens of them. If this is true, then the ferocious beast guarding this place must be extremely powerful.

　　"Xiao Han, things are very tricky this time. I'll send you to this tree. You stay there and don't move. I'll go over and take a look." Zhou Yun spoke slowly with a serious expression.

　　As soon as Liu Xiaohan heard Zhou Yun's words, she knew that the beast she encountered this time might be really difficult to deal with. In her impression, Zhou Yun rarely showed such an expression, and he always looked like he had everything under control.

　　"Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself." Nodding, Liu Xiaohan spoke seriously.

　　"Yeah." After responding, Zhou Yun looked around, chose a big tree that was nearly forty meters tall, and sent Liu Xiaohan up.

　　After making arrangements for Liu Xiaohan, Zhou Yun adjusted his breathing, took out the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber in his hand, and slowly approached the giant tree.

　　Having obtained seven Black Flame Crystals, Zhou Yun has become somewhat familiar with the aura of these Black Flame Crystals. From a distance, Zhou Yun has already felt that familiar aura.

　　“There must be a lot of Black Flame Crystals in here!” Feeling such a huge area that his spiritual sense could not perceive, as well as the familiar breath of Black Flame Crystals, Zhou Yun knew that perhaps this would be his biggest gain since entering the Mirror Lake Secret Realm.

　　Woo… Woo…

　　When Zhou Yun approached to within thirty meters of the giant tree, a slight humming sound was immediately heard, and the branches of the giant tree in the distance began to sway slightly.

　　Originally, the branches of the big tree were still, but now they suddenly began to sway, which immediately made Zhou Yun feel a sense of crisis.

　　call!

　　Sure enough, the next moment, a branch in front of the giant tree suddenly took off and swept straight towards Zhou Yun.

　　"Break it!" Seeing the branch attacking, Zhou Yun immediately shouted softly, and Zhou Yun's Thousand Hammer Iron Saber slashed upward with force. Suddenly, a gray condensed blade light rushed towards the branch of the giant tree.

　　nail!

　　Suddenly, the sound of the two forces colliding was heard, which was similar to the sound of metal clashing!

　　"Ah!" Not only that, after the collision, the branch actually made a sound similar to a child's scream and quickly retracted. Moreover, there were even a few drops of blood left on the ground in the collision area!

　　"This tree has become a spirit!" Zhou Yun was immediately surprised when he saw this strange sight.

　　Zhou Yun already knew that he could get continuous nourishment by staying close to the Black Flame Crystal, even if he couldn't absorb it. The ferocious beasts that he met along the way that were guarding the Black Flame Crystal were probably nourished by the Black Flame Crystal and thus gained such powerful strength.

　　But Zhou Yun never expected that this black flame crystal could not only nourish animals, but also plants!

　　The giant tree in front of us has been nourished to the point of almost becoming a spirit, and it even screams like a child!

　　"The Black Flame Crystals here are definitely not a small number. As long as I can win this battle, I will have more than a 10% chance of defeating Li Wanqiu!"

　　In an instant, a light of tenacity and desire emanated from Zhou Yun's eyes.

　　"Ha!" With a sudden low roar, a layer of thunder and lightning power immediately floated up to Zhou Yun's body, making Zhou Yun's overall power rise to a higher level.

　　Holding a sword in hand, Zhou Yun rushed forward at full speed.

　　Boom!

　　Following Zhou Yun's movements, the giant tree in the distance began to shake immediately. Suddenly, hundreds of branches in front of the giant tree suddenly intertwined and came towards Zhou Yun from all directions with bursts of energy!

　　This strangulation was not an attack from the same direction, but rather it was like a raging wind, attacking from all directions in a streamlined state. Each branch only showed the tip, and instantly turned into hundreds of tiny attack points!

　　Liu Xiaohan had been watching Zhou Yun from afar. When she saw that the giant tree was so strong, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, and a look of worry instantly appeared in her eyes.

　　Zhou Yun also had a solemn expression at this moment. He clenched his left fist suddenly, and a layer of blue light shield immediately appeared on the surface of Zhou Yun's body.

　　This light shield is the protective light shield used in the actual combat of the Wanxiang Thunder Prison. Now Zhou Yun is very familiar with the Wanxiang Thunder Prison. The Wanxiang Thunder Prison can be split into two moves by Zhou Yun. Now, this light shield is used alone. In Zhou Yun's opinion, defending against this wave of attacks should not be a problem!

　　Sure enough, the next moment, the branches rushed over from all directions, and when they encountered the powerful lightning shield on Zhou Yun's body, they were immediately burnt by the electricity, and then quickly retreated.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had also prepared for the most powerful attack. Inside the lightning shield, Zhou Yun's full strength had been fully mobilized and condensed on the sword in his hand.

　　The strongest blow of the Zhendao was delivered violently!

　　brush!

　　As Zhou Yun swung his sword wildly, suddenly, a dark gray terrifying sword energy shot out from Zhou Yun's sword, slashing horizontally at the giant tree, and it was going to cut the giant tree off at the bottom in one fell swoop!

　　Chapter 177 Blood Pond Tree Hole

　　After the sword energy was released, Zhou Yun's body also paused, quietly waiting for the result of this attack.

　　Rumble.

　　The sword energy was getting closer and closer, and was about to hit the giant tree. Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from under Zhou Yun's feet.

　　Suddenly, intertwined tree roots suddenly rose from the ground, and together with the branches above, they formed a tight wall in front of the giant tree.

　　Puff. Puff. Puff.

　　The wall was extremely solid. Even with Zhou Yun's full-strength strike, the sword light was still difficult to penetrate.

　　Seeing this, Zhou Yun immediately shouted.

　　"shock."

　　Following this roar, Zhou Yun's true energy surged again, and was actually directly transmitted to the blade light that had already been emitted.

　　With the support of this force, the blade light rushed forward again, instantly penetrating the defensive wall and hitting the trunk of the giant tree heavily.

　　"ah…"

　　Hit by Zhou Yun's blade, the giant tree actually let out an old and deep roar.

　　Hearing this clear human voice, Zhou Yun's brows immediately knitted tightly together. This giant tree has really become a spirit.

　　"Human. I want you dead." Streams of blood flowed out from the wound on the trunk of the giant tree. The earth shook. The giant tree finally fell into a rage.

　　Liu Xiaohan, who was far away, watched Zhou Yun fight with the giant tree. Hearing the giant tree's human roar, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She covered her mouth with her snow-white hands. Her face was filled with horror. The giant tree could actually speak. Moreover, it could force Zhou Yun to use such a powerful force. These unimaginable things actually happened in front of her.

　　Zhou Yun was also shocked at the moment. He had heard before that high-level beasts could be further transformed into demon beasts. Some of them could speak human language. If it wasn't for people with extremely high cultivation, they wouldn't be able to feel the difference between them and humans.

　　But he had never heard that trees could be cultivated to such an extent.

　　"Go to hell." Although the tree was shocked, it would not give Zhou Yun too much time. It roared wildly, and the whole earth immediately shook crazily.

　　This vibration was a hundred times stronger than the vibration when the defense wall was built just now. Being in the core area of ​​this vibration, Zhou Yun actually felt unstable.

　　In this tremor, thick and strong tree roots emerged from the soil, trying to wrap around Zhou Yun's feet. The branches on the giant tree seemed to come alive in an instant, splitting into two branches, entwining and condensing together, and spinning continuously.

　　At first glance, it looked like two evil dragons were about to attack.

　　Brush, brush, brush.

　　The branches that emerged from the ground were very agile. They quickly entangled Zhou Yun's legs tightly, making Zhou Yun unable to move.

　　At this time, the two giant dragons formed by the branches above the giant tree also swept towards Zhou Yun from the east and west in a double dragon strangling manner.

　　"Break it for me." At the critical moment of life and death, Zhou Yun also burst out his greatest strength. His legs seemed to be much stronger all of a sudden. The whole person became more majestic and imposing. For the first time in actual combat, Zhou Yun used the Overlord Step skill he got from the treasure house of the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　Following this sound, the powerful force emanating from Zhou Yun's legs actually broke all the tree roots wrapped around his legs.

　　Then, Zhou Yun began to move forward step by step. The powerful vibration force was so strong that the tree roots could not get close to him at all.

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun threw the sword in his hand into the sky. Lightning arcs swirled and leaped again.

　　"Struck by lightning."

　　With a loud roar, Zhou Yun swung his left and right fists in different directions. Suddenly, two blue and purple lights swept towards the two giant dragons formed by the branches.

　　Boom boom boom.

　　The next moment, the four forces collided with each other. They attacked each other frantically. The rumbling sound was endless.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun's power was not really stronger than the giant dragon formed by the branches of the giant tree. But this time, Zhou Yun's attribute power once again took the upper hand.

　　During the collision, Zhou Yun's blue lightning power relied on its own powerful attributes to directly burn the giant dragon branch.

　　"Ah..." Feeling that its branches had been severely damaged, the giant tree immediately let out a crazy roar. The giant dragon formed by the two branches suddenly dispersed.

　　His eyes lit up. Zhou Yun had waited for his chance. He suddenly flew up into the air. Zhou Yun caught the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber that fell from the sky. He slashed it down with all his might from a height of more than ten meters.

　　Suddenly, the terrifying grey blade energy formed a real and condensed air wave and rushed straight over.

　　brush.

　　Time. The air wave penetrated through. Looking at the giant tree, it was actually split in half by Zhou Yun. Cut into two parts.

　　Boom…

　　The giant tree was split into two. Suddenly, streams of blood gushed out crazily. The giant tree that was split in two finally fell down.

　　"It's over." The body fell from the high school. Zhou Yun stood on the messy battlefield and spoke silently.

　　This battle was much more difficult and dangerous than Zhou Yun had imagined. This was the first time Zhou Yun had encountered a creature in the form of a giant tree. Not only was it extremely powerful, but it was also very flexible.

　　If I hadn't reached the peak of internal organ refining and blood exchange before entering here, and my true strength had not reached a higher level, I'm afraid I would have died here in this battle.

　　"Zhou Yun. Are you okay?" Naturally, Liu Xiaohan had already seen that the battle in the distance was over. She immediately came down from the tree and ran directly to Zhou Yun.

　　The battle just now was too dangerous. Although the distance was far, Liu Xiaohan could still feel the power of the giant tree clearly.

　　"It's okay." Zhou Yun shook his head and spoke slowly. Although the battle just now was dangerous, Zhou Yun was not injured. He could still handle it.

　　After the mysterious veins were opened, Zhou Yun's spiritual perception was already very strong. His reaction speed and mental flexibility were also very strong. He was always able to make the most correct decision in the battle. This is why Zhou Yun escaped from this battle unscathed.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's calm and relaxed look, Liu Xiaohan couldn't help but feel a little admiration in her eyes. In her eyes, Zhou Yun was the most elegant knight. He had a strong cultivation base. He hated evil. He dared to act and take responsibility. And he was full of wisdom.

　　"It's a pity that he can't stay here." A trace of confusion and sadness flashed in Liu Xiaohan's eyes. He silently thought in his heart.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun's attention had been attracted by the space between the big tree.

　　The tree was extremely thick. After it was split in the middle, a tree hole with a radius of one meter appeared in the middle. It was pitch black and no one knew where it led to. At this time, a faint black light shone through the blood in the tree hole, which instantly attracted Zhou Yun's attention.

　　Zhou Yun was very familiar with this black light. It was the light of the Black Flame Crystal.

　　Although the tree hole was already filled with blood, the light still penetrated through, enough to know how many black flame crystals were in the tree hole.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun had already guessed it just now. There must be a lot of Black Flame Crystals in this place. Such a large area cannot be sensed. In addition, this giant tree has already reached the peak of the martial saint. If there are not many Black Flame Crystals here, it would be a strange thing.

　　Putting away the sword, Zhou Yun slowly walked towards the tree hole. At this moment, the blood overflowing in the tree hole was still slowly falling. It seemed that it would take some time to completely seep into the ground.

　　"There is no other way. We can only wait." He shook his head. Zhou Yun said helplessly. The giant tree became a spirit. This time Zhou Yun really gained some experience.

　　Two or three meters behind Zhou Yun, Liu Xiaohan was standing there quietly, looking at Zhou Yun. Suddenly, a slight strange vision came. Feeling this strange movement, Liu Xiaohan immediately ran towards Zhou Yun.

　　"Zhou Yun, be careful."

　　"Hmm..." After hearing Liu Xiaohan's words, Zhou Yun didn't have time to ask. Immediately, a strong attraction came from the tree hole. Moreover, two thick and flexible tree roots emerged from the blood in the tree hole and grabbed Zhou Yun's feet at once.

　　Before he could react, Zhou Yun was directly pulled into the tree hole by a huge force.

　　"Zhou Yun..." Seeing Zhou Yun being dragged away, Liu Xiaohan screamed in grief. She suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Zhou Yun's hand.

　　Plop.

　　Suddenly, the two were dragged into the tree hole by the huge force.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan entered the tree hole, the giant tree, which had no life at all, suddenly burst into life again.

　　Wow.

　　With a burst of green light, the giant tree that Zhou Yun had cut in half actually merged together again. The wound on the giant tree also completely recovered at this time. It seemed as if it had not been hurt at all.

　　As Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan disappeared, the area around the giant tree immediately returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

　　In the trunk of the giant tree, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan held hands and began to sink continuously. The surroundings were full of surging sticky blood. It felt like a burning sensation when it stained their bodies.

　　The two of them sank very quickly. In just a few breaths, Zhou Yun felt his body sink more than a hundred meters.

　　"How deep is the trunk of this demon tree? It has been sinking for so long and still hasn't reached the bottom." There was no idea what was underneath. In an instant, Zhou Yun felt an extremely dangerous feeling.

　　It seems that this Black Flame Continent is really full of crises. This time, I was really too careless.

　　Holding his breath, Zhou Yun felt the tree roots wrapped around his ankles still pulling him down. There was no support point around him. Zhou Yun had no way to escape.

　　Moreover, as Zhou Yun continued to descend, the blood that soaked him became more and more spicy and hot. But Zhou Yun could still endure this level of torture. He had quietly taken out the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber. Zhou Yun was waiting for an opportunity at any time and ready to counterattack.

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun felt that the little hand holding him was actually showing signs of loosening slightly.

　　"Xiao Han." Suddenly, Zhou Yun remembered that Liu Xiaohan was dragged into the tree trunk with him by this huge force. He could withstand this force, but it did not mean that only Liu Xiaohan, who practiced tendon training, could withstand it.

　　Hurry up and sense it. Zhou Yun was shocked to find that Liu Xiaohan's vitality was rapidly fading away.

　　Chapter 178: Hydra Demon

　　"Lightning shield." Pulling Liu Xiaohan into his arms, Zhou Yun suddenly had a layer of violent lightning power floating on his body. This lightning shield completely enveloped Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan, and the surrounding red blood was separated by this lightning power. Holding Liu Xiaohan's hand, Zhou Yun passed a wisp of pure true energy to her. After Liu Xiaohan received Zhou Yun's true energy, her condition immediately improved a lot. At this time, the blood pool passage that had been going down seemed to have finally reached the bottom. At this moment, Zhou Yun's spiritual perception could actually rely on He could sense the outline of everything below, "Let's go." Feeling the strange scene below, Zhou Yun's heart was immediately shaken, and a powerful force suddenly erupted from his body. Zhou Yun actually used his true power to absorb the air, broke away from the blood flow channel in the tree trunk, and flew out horizontally. As soon as he flew out of the blood flow channel, Zhou Yun immediately felt a rough branch in front of him. Without thinking too much, Zhou Yun immediately sent out a true power to grab the branch. With a swing of his body, Zhou Yun immediately jumped onto the branch. His body finally had a foothold, and Zhou Yun held the branch with one hand. , and with one hand he held Liu Xiaohan who was still in a coma. He began to observe his environment with his eyes, "What on earth is this place?" Looking at everything in front of him, Zhou Yun immediately murmured in shock. What kind of scene was this? There were intertwined tree roots all around, densely packed, there were tens of thousands of them, and all of these tree roots actually penetrated into a blood pool at the bottom. The blood in the blood pool was spicy and burning. Zhou Yun knew at a glance that this blood was the same blood he and Liu Xiaohan had just soaked in. This space was completely circular, like a sealed jar. The only upward passage was the passage in the trunk of the giant tree, and at this time, the passage had actually merged quietly, and the entire space was equivalent to being sealed up. All the tree roots in the entire space were stuck in the blood pool, as if they were constantly absorbing the blood nutrients in the blood pool. Zhou Yun was attached to a tree root, so he could naturally sense all of this clearly. The tree root was clearly constantly absorbing The power in the blood pool, there was actually such a blood pool hundreds of meters underground. How could Zhou Yun not be shocked by such a discovery? Boom, boom, just when Zhou Yun was shocked by everything in front of him, the blood pool below suddenly shook, and the blood in the blood pool rolled violently. A terrifying pressure immediately spread from the depths of the blood pool. Feeling this movement, Zhou Yun's expression immediately became incomparably solemn. This force was too powerful. The pressure on him was far greater than that of the two generals Yan Yin and Hu Pen. This kind of pressure even made Zhou Yun's originally firm heart feel irresistible. At this time, Zhou Yun truly understood the specific meaning of General Hu Pen's words that if you come in, you may not be able to get out of the Black Flame Continent. Now he has actually broken into the Mirror Lake Secret Realm that he didn't know about before. Now it seems that this behavior is undoubtedly extremely daring, "Zhou Yun..." At this time, a faint voice suddenly came over. It turned out that under this pressure, Liu Xiaohan actually He was oppressed to the point of waking up from his coma. Puff, before he could finish a complete sentence, Liu Xiaohan's face changed drastically, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth. It was obvious that this kind of powerful pressure was not something Liu Xiaohan could resist. Looking at the surging blood pool below, Zhou Yun passed a stream of true power to Liu Xiaohan, and began to silently improve his own true power. Even if the existence below was powerful, Zhou Yun would never give up the hope of living. As a warrior, he must stick to his original intention of moving forward courageously. This point, Zhou Yun had understood the true meaning of Tiger Fist since the first day he truly understood the true meaning of Tiger Fist, and it was this belief that had helped Zhou Yun to get to this point today. He must not lose the courage to resist just because his opponent was strong. At this time, the terrifying existence in the blood pool below finally floated up, and the first thing that rose up was a head similar to a snake's head. Just looking at it gave people a feeling of extreme evil, with a blood-red color and closed eyes. Most importantly, there was only one eye on the snake's head, which was located in the middle of the yāng, extremely strange, "Could it be that the thing below is a giant snake." Seeing the snake head, Zhou Yun immediately spoke silently in his heart, and then, the other two snake heads rose up on both sides of the first snake head, one on the left and one on the right, and then another two, plus the other four, the existence below actually had nine snake heads, "Hydra Demon." As soon as he saw the existence below, Zhou Yun immediately felt a chill all over his body. The Hydra Demon was one of the eight ancient strange beasts, and was as famous as the Golden Dragon, the God-raising Bull, the Tiger Scorpion Holy Beast, the Sky Roar Beast, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox and other strange species. This kind of strange beast should have died out long ago, so how could there be one here? According to legend, this Hydra Demon is extremely mysterious. The central eye leads directly to the gate of hell, and the other eight eyes also control one area respectively. When each eye is opened, the person who is hostile to it will have a body circulation blocked. It is extremely powerful. Although it is rumored that the human body has a total of eight circulations, Zhou Yun Zhou Yun only knew that there were six major cycles: body, blood, breathing, Qi and blood, true power, and sea of ​​consciousness. As for the other two major cycles, Zhou Yun had no idea. Now, he could actually meet an alien species like the Nine-headed Snake Demon here. Zhou Yun really didn't know whether he should feel lucky or unlucky. The Nine-headed Snake Demon didn't give Zhou Yun too much time. As soon as it appeared, it immediately turned to Zhou Yun's direction. Although it didn't open its eyes, Zhou Yun clearly felt that the Nine-headed Snake Demon was looking at him, really looking at him, "Human, you actually dared to hurt my incarnation, do you know whether you are guilty or not?" "Then, a rumbling sound was transmitted. Hearing this sound, Zhou Yun immediately felt as if his chest was hit by a huge rock. The blood of the whole body became blocked, and Liu Xiaohan beside Zhou Yun was even worse. With just one sentence, blood began to flow out of Liu Xiaohan's mouth and nose, and he couldn't stop it. Seeing this scene, Zhou Yun's eyes immediately turned cold. Liu Xiaohan was already unable to hold on. As long as the nine-headed snake demon said a few more words, Liu Xiaohan would definitely die. "Don't hurt her." Staring at the nine-headed snake demon, Zhou Yun's face was stern, and he spoke slowly. At the same time, bursts of lightning began to surround his body, and actually wrapped Liu Xiaohan directly, while Zhou Yun himself stayed outside the lightning shield, facing the nine-headed snake demon, "Hehe, you are a little guy who doesn't even have the strength of a realm master, and you dare to order me. I will kill her now, what can you do. "After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the nine-headed snake demon immediately uttered a series of sinister sneers and spoke slowly. As soon as the sound came out, the lightning shield protecting Liu Xiaohan immediately showed signs of breaking. Because Zhou Yun had no lightning shield to protect him, blood gushed out of his mouth. His heart was pounding and he couldn't even breathe steadily. However, Zhou Yun still heard a message from the nine-headed snake demon, the realm master, which was a realm that Zhou Yun had never heard of. But at this time, Zhou Yun didn't have the mind to think about the mystery. He stared at the nine-headed snake demon and said, "If you want to kill her, you have to step over me first."

　　With a firm voice, Zhou Yun actually got rid of the pressure of the nine-headed snake demon at this moment. The mysterious vein in his body suddenly started to run wildly, and Zhou Yun was no longer afraid of the momentum of the nine-headed snake demon. "Well, you have actually opened the Heavenly Spirit Vein. You are a little guy who is still a long way from being a world away from being a person, but you can actually open the Heavenly Spirit Vein. I think you are also a genius in this inferior continent. However, the Heavenly Spirit Vein is just a vein that is born with a powerful race. You are far from enough. Since you want to die, I will grant your wish." Seeing that Zhou Yun was not affected by his pressure, the nine-headed snake demon immediately snorted, but soon, an even stronger pressure enveloped Zhou Yun like a substance. Once again, Zhou Yun was suppressed tightly. This time, the pressure was not just momentum, but the power in the nine-headed snake demon's body was stimulated in a substantial form. This was a crushing crush without any room for Zhou Yun. "Sleep in darkness forever." A vast voice came out, and the single eye of the central snake head of the nine-headed snake demon actually showed signs of opening at this time. As the eye was about to open, the surrounding pressure also loosened a little, and Zhou Yun also felt that he seemed to be able to move at this time. "The only chance." Suddenly, Zhou Yun moved and directly let go of Liu Xiaohan. Zhou Yun violently jumped towards the sky above the nine-headed snake demon. The piece of boundary crystal was quietly grasped in his hand. Suddenly, Zhou Yun's body and The condensed bodies in the boundary crystal space were linked together, and a powerful force was transmitted by the condensed bodies, transmitted from the boundary crystal, and injected into Zhou Yun's body. Suddenly, Zhou Yun's power reached an unprecedented height. In such a brief moment, Zhou Yun actually felt that he had touched the realm of a true martial saint. The powerful true power directly condensed the dirty blood to perfection, and the body had already entered the realm of Yi Jin Xi Sui. But at this time, Zhou Yun did not have time to think so much. With his fists clenched, Zhou Yun shouted loudly, "Wan Xiang Lei Yu." At this time, Zhou Yun had already stayed right above the nine-headed snake demon. Suddenly, the Wan Xiang Lei Yu, which contained the power of Zhou Yun's body and the power of the condensed body, finally bloomed. Thunder and lightning as thick as a bucket suddenly floated up from Zhou Yun's body, gathering He entered the dark clouds above his head, and then, lightning bolts as thick as bowls struck down, densely hitting the body of the nine-headed snake demon. In the raging thunder, only waves appeared on the body of the nine-headed snake demon. Zhou Yun's lightning had no effect on it, and the strongest attack had no effect at all. He didn't expect the situation to be like this. Zhou Yun was completely stunned immediately, "Human, you are too naive, but you have really angered me, die." Although it was not hurt at all, the nine-headed snake demon was really angered by Zhou Yun. With these majestic words, the middle eye of the nine-headed snake demon opened. When the only eye opened, Zhou Yun immediately felt as if he was trapped in a dark turbulence, and his consciousness and body spun and floated together, "Am I going to die? "The moment before his consciousness faded, the faces of Lin Junyao, Zhou Xue, and Li Xiaoxiao appeared in Zhou Yun's mind one by one. Seeing these faces, Zhou Yun's heart immediately ached violently. He still had responsibilities. He still had to bear the happiness of Junyao, his sister. Li Xiaoxiao was also waiting for him. He couldn't die, couldn't die. "I can't die." Suddenly, Zhou Yun's consciousness returned to his own sea of ​​​​knowledge, breaking away from the control of the nine-headed snake demon's one-eyed. Instead, a burst of ink-colored light shone strongly in Zhou Yun's right fist. As soon as this light came out, some of the surroundings immediately disappeared without a trace, leaving only Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan falling into the blood pool.

　　Chapter 179 Clues Revealed

　　After the burst of inky light, the nine-headed snake demon and the terrifying tree disappeared in the underground cave in an instant. Without support, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan immediately fell into the blood pool. With a plop, Zhou Yun fell into the blood pool first, and then Liu Xiaohan's body fell beside Zhou Yun. Gulu... Gulu...

　　A wave of blood surged in the blood pool, and as Zhou Yun fell into the blood pool, the blood in the blood pool began to drop rapidly, as if it was absorbed. Finally, after falling a few hundred meters again, Zhou Yun's body finally touched the ground and lay in an empty pit, and Liu Xiaohan followed and fell beside Zhou Yun, leaning on Zhou Yun. At this time, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan had already lost consciousness, but in Zhou Yun's right fist, the mysterious boundary crystal was still flashing with red light. Along with this light, a trace of power also surged out from the boundary crystal and injected into Zhou Yun's body. Thump, thump, thump, with such an injection, Zhou Yun's skin began to jump and change little by little, but Zhou Yun was completely unaware of all this. This time he fainted directly Thirty days have passed. During these thirty days, Zhou Yun has been in a deep sleep, and Liu Xiaohan beside Zhou Yun has not woken up either. Thirty-six days have passed since the Mirror Lake Conference began. The warriors who entered the Mirror Lake Secret Realm have gradually left the secret realm. Compared with the hundreds of people who entered at the time, only less than thirty people have come out so far. At this moment, the Mirror Lake wharf has long been under martial law by the Luo family's warriors. All warriors who come out of the secret realm will be taken away, repeatedly interrogated, and then released. Of course, there are also many warriors who have never come out after being taken away, and the remaining warriors, even if they were released, were already in a trance, like soulless walking corpses. "Hey, I told them a long time ago that even if they enter, they will be punished." Mirror Lake Secret Realm, even if they survive to get out, the treasures they get will not be theirs, why don't these people listen. "At this time, there are still some people watching the excitement outside Mirror Lake, but not as many as before. Seeing the distraught looks of the warriors who were released after being taken away, waves of regretful voices were immediately heard from the crowd. They naturally knew that the reason why these warriors were distraught was that the treasures they got in the secret realm were directly snatched away by the Luo family. Just imagine, entering the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, the things they got after a life-and-death struggle were robbed just like this, who can be indifferent? Compared with those who can't get out, these warriors who can get out are undoubtedly extremely lucky. At least, they have kept their lives. After all, there are still many The warrior who had finally escaped from the Mirror Lake Secret Realm was killed just because he resisted too fiercely when the Luo family asked for the treasure. Next to the Mirror Lake pier, there was a small house belonging to the Luo family, which was actually connected to a basement. At this moment, in the center of the basement, a middle-aged man in red was standing upright, with a very hot look on his face. This middle-aged man was Luo Tian, ​​the king of Huo Luo Country. On the ground of the basement, a warrior covered in blood had fallen there, "Don't overestimate your own abilities. Other book friends are reading:." With a wave of his hand, the blood on Luo Tian's hand immediately dissipated completely. Then, two black-clothed warriors of the Luo family ran up and searched out a secret book and a black flame crystal from the fallen warrior, "King, a black flame crystal, and a whirlwind palm intensive book." After searching the things on the warrior, the two men in black immediately reported respectfully, "Well, I know, put the things away and throw him into the lake to feed the fish. "Nodding, Luo Tian said calmly, "Yes, sir. "In response, the two warriors immediately lifted up the warrior who was not completely dead on the ground, and then, with a plop, the warrior was thrown directly into the waterway connected to Mirror Lake, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. After classifying the Black Flame Crystals and the dense objects they obtained, the two black-clothed warriors returned to their positions again, waiting for the next warrior who walked out of the Mirror Lake Secret Realm to be taken into the basement. The Luo family has done such things countless times over the years, and they are naturally familiar with it. It is by occupying the Mirror Lake Secret Realm and constantly obtaining treasures and dense objects that the Luo family has become more and more powerful and unshakable. Turning around, Luo Tian walked to the crystal container containing the Black Flame Crystal and grabbed a Black Flame Crystal from it. Luo Tian held the Black Flame Crystal tightly in his hand, feeling the power coming from the Black Flame Crystal, and his brows furrowed tightly. "It's been more than a month, and there is still no clue about Chen'er. Is it really God's punishment for me? "A hint of sadness flashed across Jianyi's face. Luo Tian spoke slowly. As soon as he finished speaking, a figure immediately entered the basement. "Master, there is a clue." This figure was the gray-clothed old man who had been following Luo Tian. "Oh, Mr. Fang, you found out the news about Chen'er." Hearing the words of the gray-clothed old man, Luo Tian's eyes immediately lit up, and he was not in a hurry to answer. Mr. Fang slowly said, "In fact, I didn't find out where the little prince is, but I found that there was something strange about the Liu family in Baiyue City these days."

　　After hearing Elder Fang say that there was no clue about Luo Chen, Luo Tian's face flashed with a hint of boredom, but he still spoke, "Liu family, what is there for them to pay attention to?"

　　Among the Northern Princes Alliance, the Liu Family was the weakest. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Xiaohan was born in the Liu Family and was favored by his son Luo Chen, who wanted to marry her into the Luo Family, the Baiyue City of the Liu Family would have been in his possession long ago. Naturally, seeing Luo Tian's lack of interest, after a pause, Old Fang still insisted on speaking, "Lord, I sent people to monitor the Liu Family these days and found a strange situation. Bai He, the warrior leader of the Liu Family, is still in the Liu Family these days, but he only comes out once a day late at night to eat something for himself and deliver food to the other prisoners."

　　"Well, Bai He, didn't he follow Liu Xiaohan into the Mirror Lake Secret Realm?" Upon hearing what Elder Fang said, a flash of surprise passed through Luo Tian's eyes. "Lord, the one who followed Liu Xiaohan into the Mirror Lake Secret Realm was probably not the real Bai He. I felt it that day. The man following Liu Xiaohan had a vague sense of danger. I always had an illusion that even if I went into battle myself, I couldn't take that man down." Recalling the scene when he met Zhou Yun at the beginning of the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, Elder Fang spoke up. This time, Luo Tian's expression immediately became energetic. If there was someone who could have the same cultivation as Elder Fang and also stood on the side of the Liu family, then Luo Chen would have a great possibility of being killed by the Liu family. Luo Tian didn't think about it before because the people of the Liu family simply didn't have the strength to do so. But now, everything is different. With a flash of spiciness in his eyes, Luo Tian said decisively, "Old Fang, take a team to Baiyue City, control all the people of the Liu family, and interrogate them severely. We must find out the truth of the matter."

　　"Yes." After hearing Luo Tian's order, Old Fang immediately turned around and left the basement. Soon, in the evening, Old Fang led a team of black-clothed warriors to the Liu family's mansion in Baiyue City. They stopped their horses at the door of the Liu family and rushed in without stopping. "What are you doing?" Seeing a group of black-clothed men rushing in like that, the guards in front of the Liu family's door immediately drew their swords and asked, "Get out of here." Frowning slightly, Old Fang raised his hand vigorously, and a powerful energy immediately gushed out, directly blocking the Liu family's door. Before, the Luo family was somewhat tolerant of the Liu family because Luo Chen truly loved Liu Xiaohan, so Luo Tian was unwilling to do anything too extreme. But now, Luo Chen's life or death is unknown, and it is very likely that he was killed by the Liu family. Naturally, the Luo family will no longer be polite to the Liu family. "Go in and control everyone." A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Elder Fang gave the order directly. Immediately, a group of wolf-like black-clothed warriors broke into the Liu family. The Liu family's warriors The most skilled warriors were only at the peak of tendon training, while the worst of the black-clothed warriors of the Luo family had already reached the initial stage of refining organs and exchanging blood. This was a battle with almost no suspense. Soon, all the people of the Liu family had been controlled. Even Liu Xiaofeng had been captured and taken directly to the open space in the small garden of the Liu family mansion. "Go, invite Bai He out of the wing room. There should be some discoveries in the cellar." He walked to the back garden of the Liu family mansion and looked at the Liu family members who had been controlled. Old Fang grinned and said, "Yes." After answering, the two teams of warriors immediately dispersed and ran out. In a short time, Bai He and the Liu family warriors in the cellar were caught and brought to the open space in the small garden. "Fang Yan, what are you doing?" Bai He was kidnapped and came to the small garden. Seeing the old man sitting in the pavilion, he immediately roared. With a slight smile, Fang Yan said, "Nothing, I came here just to ask the Liu family a few questions. If you can answer honestly, I will leave immediately."

　　Upon hearing this, Bai He immediately fell silent. At the same time, an ominous premonition came to his mind. "Bai He, let me ask you, who is the person who dressed up like you and accompanied Liu Xiaohan to the Jinghu Secret Realm?" Looking at Bai He, Fang Yan spoke slowly, his face slightly changed. Bai He suppressed his surprise and said, "That was Li Yue, a warrior from our Liu family. I'm old, so it's better for him to stay at home, so I sent him."

　　"Hehehe, Baihe, I think you are stupid." Laughing grimly, Fang Yan said, "Such a real disguise technique, even our Luo family can't master it, and you, a small Liu family, can have such a skill. Tell me, did you get close to some big shot and plot to kill my little prince?"

　　As soon as Fang Yan finished speaking, the warriors who were controlled by the Luo family warriors and imprisoned in the cellar immediately trembled. They saw the whole process of Zhou Yun killing Luo Chen. Could it be that this matter has been exposed? His cultivation has reached the middle stage of Martial Saint. Fang Yan's senses are extremely sensitive. The expressions of those Liu family warriors changed, and Fang Yan immediately noticed it. "It seems that you guys know something." With a smile on his face, Fang Yan stood up from the pavilion and walked over slowly.

　　Chapter 180: Crisis in White Moon City

　　Knowing that they had been seen through, the Liu family warriors immediately became nervous. "Tell me what you know. If you can tell the truth, I can take you and your family to Huo Luo City and let you enter the Luo family. I will arrange the best future for you..." Looking at the four Liu family warriors in front of him, Fang Yan smiled and spoke. At that moment, the expression on Fang Yan's face became extremely gentle, which made the Liu family warriors feel relieved. "You guys, don't forget your identities." Knowing that Fang Yan was using his cultivation to influence the minds of the Liu family warriors, Bai He immediately became anxious and could not help but yelling. The Liu family warriors immediately reacted to this yell and their faces also changed. He showed a resolute expression again, "You're looking for death." Seeing that Bai He actually interrupted his good thing and woke up those Liu family warriors, Fang Yan's face immediately showed a cold murderous intent. He suddenly swung his hand, and suddenly, a flame gushed out from his hand and instantly hit Bai He's body. As soon as the flame hit his body, Bai He's body was immediately knocked flying by this heavy blow. When he landed, the whole person had been burned into a black charred corpse, "Old Bai." Seeing Bai He die like this, the warriors of the Liu family immediately struggled desperately, with expressions of madness and grief on their faces, but the Luo family warriors who controlled them were too powerful. No matter how hard they struggled, it was of no use, "Go, get rid of him!" His body was hung on the flagpole of Baiyue City, letting all the people of Baiyue City know that this is the end of rebelling against Huoluo Country. "Looking at Baihe's body with contempt, Fang Yan said calmly, "Yes, sir." Fang Yan gave an order, and two Luo family warriors immediately picked up Baihe's body with their spears and walked out of the courtyard. The hypocritical face had been broken, and Fang Yan's face immediately showed that evil expression again. Looking at the four Liu family warriors in front of him, Fang Yan's fingertips slowly floated a trace of flame, "What did you see that day? Tell me now, everything I just said is still valid. Otherwise, I will definitely make you live a life worse than death. My flame is the true power flame of the martial saint realm. Once it touches your body, it will be extremely painful. I will kill you today. There is plenty of time to play with you, let the disobedient people experience the pain of the burning fire... " Fang Yan said slowly with an evil smile. As a person next to Luo Tian, ​​Fang Yan's style of doing things is exactly the same as Luo Tian's. That kind of vicious momentum immediately brought great pressure to the Liu family warriors in front of him. Now, these Liu family warriors don't know how to deal with it. They are naturally afraid of Fang Yan's threats, but they don't want to betray the Liu family, so they can only remain silent. "Don't you want to say it?" After waiting for two breaths, seeing that the warriors in front of him still didn't say a word, Fang Yan smiled cruelly, and the flames on his fingertips were immediately sent out slightly. Huh, suddenly, a flame rose, and the feet of the four Liu family warriors in front of him immediately burned, "Ah."

　　The flames touched their bodies, causing them immense pain. The four Liu Family warriors howled in agony, but no one said a word. The four of them were all descendants of Baiyue City, and naturally the Liu Family meant a lot to Baiyue City. Although they had been locked up in the cellar by Liu Xiaohan before, now they all understood the reason why Liu Xiaohan did that. Although their bodies were in immense pain, they all endured it and did not speak. Looking at the stubborn looks of the four men in front of him, a playful smile appeared on Fang Yan's face. He actually motioned for a Luo Family warrior to move a chair over, and then sat there in a grand manner. Fang Yan actually began to appreciate the pain of the four Liu Family warriors in front of him. At this moment, Liu Xiaofeng, who had been subdued, was also mixed in the crowd. Seeing the warriors of his own family suffer, Liu Xiaofeng felt sad in his heart, but his body was very calm, and his head was Liu Xiaofeng lowered his head, and no one could see that his lips were tightly pursed, with a trace of blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth. If it were the old him, he would have rushed out regardless of everything at this time, but on that day, after listening to Zhou Yun's teachings, Liu Xiaofeng had become much more mature. He knew that if he rushed out at this time, except for dying in vain, there would be no other meaning. As the only man in the Liu family now, he could not die yet. Only by not dying could he hope for revenge and take on his own responsibilities. Although Liu Xiaofeng did not move with his lips tightly pursed, his eyes had already turned blood red. Without strength, this is the end. At this moment, Liu Xiaofeng understood more clearly what Zhou Yun said to him that day. A moment later, the flames on the feet of the four warriors had been extinguished, but the feet of these four people had also been completely burned. A mixture of burnt smell, sweat, and even a hint of meaty aroma wafted out, making every member of the Liu family bleed in their hearts. "Haha, the Liu family is really good, they are so tough. It seems that I underestimated you..." With a smile on his face, Fang Yan said with some emotion. At this moment, all the warriors of the Liu family had fainted from the pain. Suddenly, a flash of knife light flashed, and Fang Yan directly used the sword of a black-clothed warrior beside him to cut open the charred feet of the four Liu family warriors. Immediately, the only remaining fresh flesh and blood was exposed. He held the teacup in his hand and heated it slightly. The tea in the cup immediately became boiling hot. He raised his hand and the tea in the cup immediately poured onto the wounds of the four warriors. Immediately, an even more unbearable pain came, and the four warriors immediately woke up wailing. As soon as they woke up , greater pain immediately spread to their nerves, but now, they were exhausted and couldn't even scream, they could only wail continuously, although their feet were burning with pain, the four of them were already soaked in cold sweat, "How is it, can you still hold on, do it again." Looking at the four Liu family warriors in front of him with a smile, Fang Yan teased, with an expression on his face like a devil, "Don't..." The next moment, one of the warriors finally spoke weakly, as if he had given up resistance, "Xu Zhong, you dare..." Hearing this, the other three immediately widened their eyes and looked at Xu Zhong, with a sad smile on their lips, Xu Zhong looked at the other three weak warriors beside him, shook his head, and nodded. After a simple eye contact, the other three immediately understood Xu Zhong's intention, "How is it, can you tell it? "Naturally noticing the eye contact between the four warriors, and thinking that they were ready to give up resistance, Fang Yan immediately asked. After hearing Fang Yan's words, the four Liu family warriors showed a resolute smile on their faces, and glanced at Fang Yan indifferently. The four of them trembled at the same time, and suddenly, streams of blood gushed out of their mouths, "Well." Seeing the blood gushing out of the four people's mouths, Fang Yan's eyes immediately widened. Originally, they were not ready to give up resistance, but to commit suicide. In a flash, the four warriors actually bit their tongues and committed suicide at the same time, "Asshole." Suddenly he became furious, and Fang Yan directly sent out a flame, burning the bodies of the four Liu family warriors to ashes. Such a failure was simply a great shame in his eyes. Originally, Fang Yan thought that his means could easily force the four warriors to tell the truth, but he didn't expect that the other party's will was far beyond his imagination. "Despicable useless people, turn to ashes. "After burning the four warriors to ashes, Fang Yan was still not satisfied. He pushed out with a fierce palm, and immediately a burst of true power directly shattered the charred bodies of the four Liu family warriors, turning them into a puff of black smoke. Now, Bai He is dead, and the four warriors are also dead. The clues are cut off here again, and Fang Yan is once again in a state of annoyance. At this moment, a childish figure entered Fang Yan's sight, "Well, isn't this the young master of the Liu family? Hahaha, you are still there." Seeing Liu Xiaofeng with his head down there, Fang Yan immediately laughed again. Now it can be judged that this matter must have been done by the Liu family. Since they made Luo Chen disappear, then if I make the only man in the Liu family disappear, I am afraid it can be more than enough to make up for it. "Drag this kid to the street and skin him alive. "A sinister expression floated on the old face. Fang Yan gave the order directly. Now he could only treat the people of the Liu family as cruelly as possible, so that Luo Tian could get more comfort. After saying this, Liu Xiaofeng was immediately picked up by the warriors behind him. Seeing that the people of the Luo family were going to skin him alive, Liu Xiaofeng frowned tightly. After a pause, he finally made a decision, "Old man, your young master is not dead yet, but if you dare to touch me, my brother-in-law will make Luo Chen die ten or a hundred times more miserably than me." His face calmed down. Liu Xiaofeng suddenly became extremely mature and looked at Fang Yan indifferently. Liu Xiaofeng spoke slowly. Hearing Liu Xiaofeng's words, Fang Yan's eyebrows raised immediately. A crisis was erupting in the Liu family of Baiyue City. At this time, in the pit in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, Zhou Yun finally woke up from his coma, "Well. "As soon as he woke up, Zhou Yun immediately felt his body filled with a vast and surging force, and the nine-headed snake demon, the giant tree, and the blood pool had disappeared without a trace. "What on earth happened?" Feeling everything in front of him, Zhou Yun immediately wanted to sit up, but this time, he startled Liu Xiaohan beside him. At this moment, Zhou Yun just realized that Liu Xiaohan was also beside him, "Xiaohan, how are you?" Seeing Liu Xiaohan right beside him, and her face was rosy, Zhou Yun's eyes immediately flashed with surprise. Such a huge crisis was actually passed quietly like this. It was really incredible. At this time, Zhou Yun also felt a hardness under his body. Looking down, Zhou Yun's mouth immediately opened in surprise. At this moment, the entire pit was full of black flame crystals, and there were thousands of them. He didn't expect that there were so many black flame crystals in the nine-headed snake demon's lair. "It is indeed an ancient beast, really extraordinary. "With a sigh, Zhou Yun waved his hand and began to collect these black flame crystals. At this point, defeating Li Xiaoxiao was almost certain, "Zhou Yun... Zhou Yun." Just after collecting all the black flame crystals, Liu Xiaohan's voice came out, with a hint of urgency, "Zhou Yun, I feel that something seems to have happened in Baiyue City. Let's go back quickly." An anxious look appeared on her face, and Liu Xiaohan spoke with red eyes.

　　Chapter 181 Battle of Wits

　　Looking at Liu Xiaohan's expression, Zhou Yun felt a little nervous. If something really happened to Baiyue City, with Liu Xiaohan's feelings for Baiyue City, maybe she could really sense something.

　　"Could it be that the murder of Luo Chen has been exposed?" Zhou Yun frowned slightly and thought silently in his heart.

　　"Zhou Yun..." Seeing Zhou Yun sitting there in silence, Liu Xiaohan immediately begged in a low voice.

　　Liu Xiaohan's words brought him back to his senses. Turning his head, Zhou Yun immediately saw Liu Xiaohan with tears on her face.

　　"Okay. Let's go back now." Zhou Yun nodded. He stood up and held Liu Xiaohan's hand.

　　The giant tree had disappeared, as had the Hydra and the terrifying blood pool. Now there was only a deep, dark underground pit.

　　After Zhou Yun collected the black flame crystals, there was no more black light in the cave. Only the blue light brought by Zhou Yun's true power remained.

　　"Hold my hand tight." Release the spiritual sense. Zhou Yun found that there was nothing around that could block his spiritual sense. After telling Liu Xiaohan, Zhou Yun's body immediately soared into the air and flew directly to the top of the pit.

　　All the black flame crystals have been taken away by Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun can clearly grasp everything in this pit.

　　Now, the giant tree has disappeared. Zhou Yun can go up directly along the passage of the giant tree. Although it is thousands of meters above the ground, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan have no difficulty going up.

　　There were many potholes on both sides of the pit, so Zhou Yun could find enough points to hold on.

　　As his power rose rapidly, Zhou Yun felt that his strength was actually much stronger than before. When he was fighting the nine-headed snake demon, Zhou Yun had already vaguely felt that he had touched the realm of martial saint. But now it seemed that although Zhou Yun's cultivation had not really entered the realm of martial saint, his strength was at least four or five times stronger than it was then.

　　Although he wanted to figure out how all this happened, Liu Xiaohan was extremely anxious. Zhou Yun could only put aside his own changes.

　　"Okay. Let's get out quickly." It only took about a cup of tea for Zhou Yun to fly up from the bottom of the pit with Liu Xiaohan. Back on the ground, Zhou Yun spoke immediately.

　　At this moment, Liu Xiaohan's face still showed panic. After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan nodded and actually ran towards the outskirts of the dense forest.

　　"It seems that something is really wrong with Baiyue City. I hope nothing happens to Old Bai and Liu Xiaofeng." Zhou Yun frowned and muttered to himself. Then he took a step and caught up with Liu Xiaohan.

　　Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan were rushing out of the Mirror Lake Secret Realm. At this time, on the dock next to the Mirror Lake, a group of black-clad warriors from the Luo family were pushing a boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old to get off the carriage.

　　This young man was Liu Xiaofeng. After he shouted that sentence, Fang Yan still didn't dare to make a decision on his own. So he brought Liu Xiaofeng to Jinghu Pier to meet Luo Tian.

　　"Hurry up." At this moment, Liu Xiaofeng was tied up with hemp ropes. The ropes were tied very tightly. There were blood marks on Liu Xiaofeng's body. But he was unaware of it. He still looked calm.

　　"This kid is quite a character. If such a person is allowed to grow up, it will be extremely detrimental to Huo Luo Country. No matter what, after this incident, he must be killed." Looking at Liu Xiaofeng's performance, Fang Yan thought silently in his heart.

　　Seeing that Liu Xiaofeng had been taken off the carriage, Fang Yan immediately walked into the small room in front of him and headed straight to the basement.

　　"Lord." In the basement, Luo Tian was sitting there quietly, closing his eyes to rest. Upon seeing Luo Tian, ​​Fang Yan immediately bowed respectfully.

　　His eyes slightly opened. Luo Tian asked. "Have you found out everything?"

　　"We have found out. The young master is indeed controlled by the Liu family." Fang Yan nodded and reported.

　　As soon as Fang Yan finished speaking, Luo Tian's eyes lit up immediately. He stood up. "You said that Chen'er was controlled by the Liu family. In other words, he is not dead yet. Have you found Chen'er?"

　　Hearing that Luo Chen might not be dead yet, Luo Tian immediately became excited.

　　These days, Luo Tian was most worried about Luo Chen. Luo Chen had been missing for more than a month. All the warriors who followed Luo Chen also disappeared one by one. Although he didn't want to believe it, Luo Tian knew that Luo Chen was probably dead.

　　But now he heard such news. Luo Chen was not dead. How could he not be excited...

　　"My Lord, the young prince has not been found yet. But we have captured Liu Xiaofeng from the Liu family. According to Liu Xiaofeng, the young prince was controlled by Liu Xiaohan's husband." Seeing Luo Tian's anxious look, Fang Yan did not hesitate and reported directly.

　　Upon hearing this, Luo Tian's face immediately flashed with gloom. His voice also turned cold in an instant. "Liu Xiaohan's husband. Humph. This Liu Xiaohan is really shameless. Chen'er wanted to marry her, but she refused. She actually secretly found a wild man. If Chen'er is fine, it's fine. If Chen'er is in trouble, I will definitely let Liu Xiaohan suffer the pain of being ridden by thousands of people."

　　"Someone, bring Liu Xiaofeng here to me." Luo Tian muttered sinisterly. He immediately shouted the order.

　　Luo Tian gave the order. Immediately, two black-clothed warriors came in, pushing Liu Xiaofeng, whose body was covered in blood from being strangled.

　　Looking at the 13- or 14-year-old Liu Xiaofeng in front of him, Luo Tian immediately erupted with a strong pressure. This pressure actually swept directly towards Liu Xiaofeng.

　　"Puff." Shocked by the pressure, the young Liu Xiaofeng, whose cultivation was still very low, spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale in an instant. But the expression between his eyebrows was still calm and proud. His eyes stared at Luo Tian intently, without giving in.

　　"Luo Tian, ​​I have already said it before. Your son is in the hands of my brother-in-law. No matter how you treat me, my brother-in-law will return it to Luo Chen tenfold or a hundredfold." Looking at Luo Tian coldly, Liu Xiaofeng spoke slowly.

　　Seeing Liu Xiaofeng's confident look, Luo Tian also felt a little uneasy. He put away his pressure and spoke slowly, "Who is the 'brother-in-law' you are talking about?"

　　With a contemptuous smile, Liu Xiaofeng said proudly, "My brother-in-law is the prince of Liuyun Country."

　　"Liuyun Country." Upon hearing Liu Xiaofeng's words, Luo Tian's expression really changed.

　　Among all the vassal states of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Liuyun State was the most mysterious. According to rumors, the area of ​​Liuyun State was not very large. The country was located at the foot of the Three Sacred Mountains. All the people in the country had high cultivation. From time to time, there were disciples from Liuyun State who went out to practice. All of them were extremely talented.

　　Over the years, many people have tried to find traces of Liuyun Country, but there are no clues at all. Moreover, none of them have ever returned, swallowed up by the mysterious and majestic Three Sacred Mountains.

　　His expression changed for a moment. Luo Tian immediately showed a smile on his face. "You think such a lie can fool me? The prince of Liuyun Kingdom is so noble that he would be attracted by your sister's worldly appearance. Someone, drag this kid out and fry him in boiling oil."

　　"As ordered." As soon as Luo Tian finished speaking, two black-clad warriors rushed over and dragged Liu Xiaofeng out.

　　Outside the Jinghu Wharf, a large pot was erected in an instant. Barrels of oil were poured into the pot. A blazing firewood was lit under the iron pot.

　　Shaoqing. The pot of oil was already boiling.

　　A huge support had been erected above the oil pan. Liu Xiaofeng's body was hung on the support and slowly fell down. In the blink of an eye, he was less than two meters away from the boiling oil.

　　The hot air surged wildly, steaming Liu Xiaofeng's whole body into a dark red. Layers of sweat poured out of Liu Xiaofeng's tender body, soaking his clothes in an instant. But Liu Xiaofeng's expression did not change at all. There was a hint of disdain in his pride.

　　"You're not afraid." Seeing Liu Xiaofeng's expression, Luo Tian's eyes flashed with doubt again. He was just a 13-year-old boy. Facing such a situation, he was not panicked at all. Could it be that he really had something to rely on?

　　Glancing at Luo Tian with contempt, Liu Xiaofeng said calmly, "What do I have to fear? Even if I am fried to death by you today, your son Luo Chen will surely have a more miserable end than me. Moreover, my brother-in-law will never let you go. If I die, when my brother-in-law and sister come out of the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, none of you will be able to escape. My life in exchange for the lives of your entire Luo family is worth it."

　　"Hahaha. Jinghu Secret Realm has been open for more than a month. Do you think anyone would come out at this time?" After hearing Liu Xiaofeng's words, Luo Tian immediately laughed wildly.

　　With a scornful smile, Liu Xiaofeng spoke slowly. "The blood I saw in the basement just now should still be fresh. Warriors who can be killed by someone of your level can come out at this time. My brother-in-law is the prince of Liuyun Country. He is extremely talented and has already broken through the peak of martial arts. How could he not come out? If you want to kill me, just go ahead and kill me."

　　At this moment, Liu Xiaofeng was completely gambling. He remembered Zhou Yun's words. When you are not strong, you must learn to be patient and learn to take advantage of the situation. And now, he can only hope that Zhou Yun can return safely.

　　Although he didn't know whether Zhou Yun could defeat Luo Tian, ​​at this time, he could only trust Zhou Yun.

　　This was his last chance. If Zhou Yun couldn't defeat Luo Tian, ​​Liu Xiaofeng would persuade Zhou Yun to leave. He and his sister would die together. If Zhou Yun could find a way to defeat Luo Tian, ​​Liu Xiaofeng would also try his best to repay Zhou Yun in the future.

　　"Break through the peak of Martial Saint..." After hearing what Liu Xiaofeng said, Luo Tian's expression finally changed. If the brother-in-law Liu Xiaofeng mentioned was really the prince of Liuyun Country, and he really broke through the peak of Martial Saint, then this matter would be really difficult to deal with.

　　Now his cultivation has just broken through the peak of Martial Saint. His foundation is still unstable. If he really encounters someone who has broken through the peak of Martial Saint and has a solid foundation, then this matter will be really difficult to deal with.

　　"Put that kid down. Mr. Fang. You take care of that kid yourself. Don't let anything go wrong." Finally, Luo Tian gave up the idea of ​​frying Liu Xiaofeng.

　　At this time, he could only wait for Liu Xiaohan and the so-called Prince of Liuyun Country to come back before making a decision.

　　"As ordered." Fang Yan nodded after receiving Luo Tian's instructions and then personally put Liu Xiaofeng down.

　　Chapter 182 Domination

　　After sensing the possible crisis in Baiyue City, Liu Xiaohan and Zhou Yun kept on traveling in the Jinghu Secret Realm. Along the way, Liu Xiaohan was moving very fast. Except for the times when Zhou Yun reminded her the direction to move forward, Liu Xiaohan was running at full speed the rest of the time.

　　In just half a day, the two of them had already covered the distance that would have taken three or four days to cover before. This was why they didn't need to detect the location of the Black Flame Crystal or fight with the beast. However, Liu Xiaohan's physical strength and resilience still shocked Zhou Yun greatly.

　　Liu Xiaohan had hardly rested during the past half day. She had been moving quickly through the dense forest. Zhou Yun could see that Liu Xiaohan was not holding on because she had something on her mind. Instead, her physical strength had made great progress.

　　"Could it be because he lay on the Black Flame Crystal for so long?" Zhou Yun thought silently as he looked at Liu Xiaohan, whose face was only slightly flushed and whose steps were still fast and agile.

　　Although Zhou Yun was not completely clear about the effect of the Black Flame Crystal, he had figured out some of it during this period of time. The reason why there were some powerful beasts guarding the Black Flame Crystal was because the Black Flame Crystal had a peculiar effect. As long as they were within the range of the Black Flame Crystal, whether they were humans or animals, they could achieve rapid natural growth.

　　While Zhou Yun was thinking silently, Liu Xiaohan in front of him had once again surpassed Zhou Yun by a lot. After walking for a long time, the density of the forest was not very high. Liu Xiaohan basically ran quickly on the open space.

　　Seeing Liu Xiaohan's figure getting farther and farther away, Zhou Yun immediately took a deep breath and chased after her.

　　Another four hours passed. The two had arrived at the place where they first entered the Mirror Lake Secret Realm. In the distance, a black halo was quietly shining. That halo was the passage to leave the Mirror Lake Secret Realm.

　　"Zhou Yun, we're here. Do you want to take a break first?" Standing in front of the black halo, Liu Xiaohan took a deep breath, adjusted her slightly scattered internal energy, and spoke to Zhou Yun.

　　Although he had been traveling for ten hours, Zhou Yun did not feel too tired. After encountering the nine-headed snake demon and lying on so many black flame crystals for so long, Zhou Yun's strength had become several times stronger than before. This short journey did not make him feel tired.

　　Seeing the anxious look in Liu Xiaohan's eyes, Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Just go out. You are so anxious now. We can't rest easily even if we stay here. Let's see what happened first."

　　"Yes. Thank you, Zhou Yun." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan nodded immediately and expressed gratitude.

　　He took out two pills from the space ring to restore his Qi, blood and true energy. Zhou Yun took one himself and handed the other to Liu Xiaohan. He said, "Take this pill. Circulate a small cycle silently. It can alleviate the previous loss. It doesn't take much time. After a short rest, we will go out immediately."

　　"Yes. OK." Nodding, Liu Xiaohan took the pill Zhou Yun handed over and swallowed it silently. Then, she followed Zhou Yun in meditating and regulating her breathing.

　　I've come this far. It's no big deal to spend a little time repairing the power.

　　The two sat opposite each other. After about a cup of tea, both of them had completed a small circulation.

　　This elixir was captured by Zhou Yun in the Shenwei training camp. Li Xiaoxiao had already explained to him the effects of all the elixirs. Using it now would naturally be the right medicine for the right condition. The effect would be excellent.

　　A small cycle of circulation was completed. After absorbing the medicinal power of the elixir, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan had both recovered to their best condition.

　　"Okay. We can go out now." Zhou Yun clenched his fist silently and felt his own strength and true power.

　　"Yeah." Nodding, Liu Xiaohan turned around and jumped into the black halo first.

　　"You're really impatient." Zhou Yun smiled bitterly as he watched Liu Xiaohan's movements. He then jumped into the halo.

　　Because of the experience from the previous two times, Zhou Yun held onto Yuan Yi in the passage this time and was not affected too much. After a while, Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan appeared on the small island in the center of Mirror Lake.

　　As soon as he appeared on the small island in the middle of the lake, Zhou Yun immediately felt the power of several warriors rushing towards him.

　　Zhou Yun stood up quickly and stood there quietly. The true energy in his body immediately surged out and pressed towards the warriors who were charging towards him.

　　Feeling the powerful strength of Zhou Yun, the four black-clad warriors who were rushing towards Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan immediately stopped.

　　"What do you want to do?" Zhou Yun spoke slowly as he looked at the four warriors who were rushing towards him with ropes in their hands.

　　With a gentle breath, Zhou Yun's physical condition has been adjusted to the best. This time, Zhou Yun was almost not affected by the turbulence in the void channel.

　　The four black-clad warriors were all sent by the Luo family to the small island in the middle of the lake. Their purpose was to immediately control the warriors who left the Mirror Lake Secret Realm. They had done this many times in the past month, and each time they succeeded easily.

　　Because the warriors who escaped from the secret realm were basically weak, dizzy, and lost their ability to resist after passing through the void turbulence. But Zhou Yun in front of him was obviously not like that.

　　They looked at each other. The leading black warrior spoke. "My master wants to talk to you two. So please come with us."

　　With a mocking smile on his face, Zhou Yun looked at the ropes in the hands of the four warriors and said calmly, "Is this how your master asks people to talk?"

　　Naturally, they saw the mockery in Zhou Yun's smile. The four warriors frowned slightly and said, "You two should be obedient and come with us. In the Northern Princes Alliance, no one dared to refuse the invitation of our Huo Luo Nation."

　　Looking at the four warriors, Zhou Yun shook his head silently. It seemed that the Luo family had become more rampant in recent years. Four warriors who were at the peak of the internal organ exchange technique dared to be so domineering. They openly tied up the warriors with ropes and robbed the treasures.

　　His expression suddenly turned cold. Zhou Yun said, "I'm not used to being tied up with ropes. If you like, you can tie each other up and lead the way."

　　Upon hearing Zhou Yun's words, the four warriors immediately showed a sinister look on their faces. They dropped the ropes in their hands and drew out the steel knives from their waists.

　　"You're looking for death." The leading warrior shouted and rushed towards Zhou Yun.

　　He actually used a knife in front of me.

　　Watching the leader's movements, Zhou Yun sneered. He raised his right hand slightly. Suddenly, his right hand, which had turned into a knife-like shape, slashed down gently.

　　Then, a sharp blade shot directly towards the black-clothed warrior.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun actually delivered such a sharp blow with his bare hands, the black-clothed warrior's face changed drastically. He quickly raised his sword to block the attack.

　　boom.

　　The sword energy from Zhou Yun directly hit the black-clothed warrior. Suddenly, a burst of blood burst out, and the black-clothed warrior flew out horizontally.

　　After rolling on the ground twice, the black-clothed warrior widened his eyes and looked at Zhou Yun in horror. He tilted his head and stopped breathing.

　　"You dare to kill people." Seeing Zhou Yun like this, the other three black-clothed warriors immediately shouted in anger.

　　"Why? You want to kidnap me and snatch the treasure I got. If you don't give it to me, you will kill me. Since you want to kill me, don't you allow me to kill you?" Zhou Yun sneered and spoke slowly.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun standing there as steady as a rock, the three black-clothed warriors looked at each other, then lifted up the corpse on the ground and tried to retreat.

　　"Just wait. If you dare to kill anyone from our Luo family, the Luo family will definitely make your life a living hell."

　　With a shout, the three wanted to board the ship and leave.

　　call.

　　With a gentle wave of his hand, Zhou Yun once again released a stream of gray blade energy, which directly blocked the three warriors.

　　"Did I let you go? You wanted to tie me up and humiliate me. But when you realized you didn't have the ability to do that, you just ran away. Is there such a good thing in the world?" At this time, Liu Xiaohan had recovered a little from the dizziness brought by the turbulence.

　　After helping Liu Xiaohan up, Zhou Yun looked at the three warriors and spoke slowly.

　　The three warriors were blocked by the sword energy from Zhou Yun. They no longer dared to act rashly. They turned around and looked at Zhou Yun. One of the warriors said, "Boy, don't go too far. We won't tie you up anymore. What else do you want?"

　　As if he had heard the funniest words, Zhou Yun laughed out loud. "I wanted to tie you up and kill you, but when I realized I wasn't strong enough, I wanted to just leave. If you were me, what would you do?"

　　At this time, Liu Xiaohan had already guessed what had happened from the situation in front of her. Looking at Zhou Yun standing there with a wild and proud figure, Liu Xiaohan's heart could not help but feel a little throbbing.

　　This kind of man is truly cool and frivolous. He is extremely talented and brilliant.

　　From Zhou Yun's words, the three Luo family warriors had already heard that Zhou Yun might not let them go. They exchanged glances with each other and turned around to escape.

　　Zhou Yun raised his hand again with a calm expression. Suddenly, a sword energy that was even more powerful and domineering than before was directly stimulated and hit the three people instantly.

　　"ah…"

　　With screams and bursts of blood, the three people fell directly into the Mirror Lake. They didn't even struggle, and went straight to the bottom of the lake.

　　Looking at the ferry parked next to the island, Zhou Yun said, "Xiao Han, let's go over there."

　　"Yeah." Nodding, Liu Xiaohan followed Zhou Yun and boarded the ferry.

　　Without even taking the oars, Zhou Yun directly sent out a palm towards the small island in the middle of the lake. Suddenly, a powerful true force burst out, pushing the ferry towards the other side.

　　Mirror Lake is not very big. The distance between the small island in the middle of the lake and the other side of the lake is clear enough for the warriors to see. Seeing Zhou Yun kill four Luo family warriors directly and come across by boat, the Luo family warriors immediately felt like they were facing a great enemy.

　　Dozens of black-clad warriors were on high alert, surrounding the entire dock.

　　In the small house next to the dock, an old man in gray clothes came out with a tightly bound and bloodstained boy.

　　As soon as she saw the young man, Liu Xiaohan's body immediately went limp.

　　"Zhou Yun. It's Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng was caught by them." The young man who was tied up and covered in blood was Liu Xiaofeng.

　　Seeing Liu Xiaofeng like this, Liu Xiaohan immediately exclaimed, and her eyes instantly turned red.

　　"To treat a child like this. The Luo family deserves death." Zhou Yun narrowed his eyes and said silently in his heart.

　　Chapter 183 You Are Not Enough

　　"There's no use worrying, relax a little, Xiaofeng will be fine, I promise," Feeling Liu Xiaohan's trembling beside him, Zhou Yun patted her arm gently and spoke calmly. Hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan's emotions finally calmed down a little, 'Yes, Zhou Yun is still with me now. As long as he is with me, everything will be fine.' Feeling Zhou Yun's breath beside her, Liu Xiaohan's mind finally calmed down. Since Zhou Yun appeared in her life, Zhou Yun has never let her down in everything. Liu Xiaohan firmly believes that this time will be the same, even if they are facing Luo Tian, ​​the king of the Northern Princes Alliance in the past thirty years, it will be the same. Bang, the ferry that Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan were riding on gently hit the fence of the dock. With the sound of the collision, the The bodies of those black-clothed warriors tensed up one by one. Just now on the small island in the middle of the lake opposite, Zhou Yun's methods had severely shocked these people. These warriors of the Luo family were basically all practicing organ blood exchange, and many of them had not yet reached the peak of this practice. And just now, the four warriors who had reached the peak of organ blood exchange on the small island in the middle of the lake were simply vulnerable in front of Zhou Yun. Those warriors who had reached the peak of organ blood exchange could not even withstand Zhou Yun's attack, and in the end, three warriors were even killed by Zhou Yun in one blow. In such a situation, these black-clothed warriors knew that if they went up rashly, they would probably just be sending themselves to death. Although there were many Luo family warriors gathered in front of him, Zhou Yun's face was calm. He naturally walked down the ferry with Liu Xiaohan, and walked towards the shore along the wooden bridge of the pier. As Zhou Yun The warriors of the Luo family could not help but retreat one after another, as if there was a strong air pressure on Zhou Yun, which severely suppressed the warriors of the Luo family. “This must be the prince of Liuyun Country. Since you have already come to Huoluo Country, why bother to change your appearance? It is better to meet with your true face, so that I can admire the noble appearance of the prince of Liuyun Country.” Fang Yan naturally saw the retreat of the Luo family warriors. Facing Zhou Yun who had already walked down from the wooden bridge of the pier, Fang Yan took a step forward and spoke slowly. At this time, Fang Yan had already stood in front of all the black-clothed warriors. He knew that none of these Luo family warriors could withstand Zhou Yun’s attack. Now, only he could stand up. Although Luo Tian was still in the hut, Fang Yan knew that Luo Tian was the lord of Huoluo Country and had a very high status. It would be useless to come out directly at this time. Knowing Fang Yan's thoughts, Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Call someone who is important enough to speak." Although Zhou Yun didn't understand why the other party called him the prince of Liuyun Kingdom, he naturally knew what he should do at this time. After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Fang Yan's face changed immediately, and a trace of embarrassment and humiliation appeared on his old face. He knew that Zhou Yun obviously looked down on him and didn't even want to say a word to him. Following Luo Tian, ​​he had been second to none for more than ten years. When had Fang Yan ever suffered such humiliation? His face flushed, and Fang Yan said gloomily, "Your Excellency may be a little arrogant. Since your Excellency thinks I am not important enough, I am afraid I must also express my opinion."

　　As soon as the words fell, a surge of true power immediately burst out from Fang Yan's body, and Zhou Yun also had a trace of flame floating up. Since Zhou Yun felt that he was not important enough, Fang Yan had to prove his status with actions. If he was just shouted back by Zhou Yun, the face of Huoluo Country, including Luo Tian's face, and his own face, would all be lost. "This kind of expression is not without price, think about it clearly," he said with a nonchalant smile on his face, as if Fang Yan was just a clown. Finally, angered by Zhou Yun's attitude, Fang Yan's flames surged crazily, and his eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger, "Arrogant," Fang Yan shouted, and suddenly stepped forward, and a pair of iron fists mixed with flames attacked Zhou Yun. As Fang Yan punched, a scorching force surged on the entire dock, and the temperature of the air suddenly increased by more than ten degrees. "Humph, this kid is really arrogant. Old Fang is angry. This kid is going to be miserable."

　　"Mr. Fang is a mid-level martial artist. How can this guy resist his full-strength attack? Let's wait and collect his body."

　　"This kid just killed Li Chen. I will definitely help Li Chen get revenge and whip his corpse for three days."

　　Feeling the power of Fang Yan's punch, all the warriors of the Luo family immediately shouted. In their hearts, Fang Yan's status was undoubtedly extremely high. As the chief steward of the Luo family, he was responsible for the internal and external affairs of the Luo family. Except for some things that Luo Tian had to personally deal with, many affairs of the Luo family, including the Huo Luo Kingdom, were handled by Fang Yan. Even many of them were selected and trained by Fang Yan himself. These Luo family warriors knew very well how powerful Fang Yan was. Boom! The flames burned violently at this moment, mixed with bursts of heat. The waves swept towards Zhou Yun. Just as the warriors of the Luo family were waiting for Zhou Yun to be completely killed by Fang Yan's attack, a ray of sword light flashed lightly in the flames. Although Fang Yan's move was gorgeous in terms of movements and appearance, it seemed a bit too complicated to Zhou Yun. He used both fists at the same time, but the power was not fully integrated with both fists, and there was no protection for the middle gate. For Zhou Yun, who was already familiar with the secret techniques of the Shadow Sword Sect and had a very good grasp of opportunities in battle, such an attack was simply a show-off and had no merit. He slowly raised his right hand and attacked the middle of Fang Yan's body. The heart line was gently drawn down. Suddenly, a plain knife light went straight through the flames and cut towards the center line of Fang Yan's body. Feeling Zhou Yun's counterattack, Fang Yan suddenly found that he had no way to dodge. If this move was fully launched, Zhou Yun would be slightly injured, but he would definitely not escape the fate of being cut in two by the knife light. "Ha," knowing that he could not go on like this, at the critical moment, Fang Yan roared and stopped his attack in an instant, forcibly retracted the true power that had left his body, and at the same time forced himself to dodge. Boom, a violent flame exploded. Explosions were heard, and Fang Yan took three steps back. His body was covered in blood, and his face turned extremely pale. He didn't even use that move, but was forced back by Zhou Yun. Not only that, due to the forced recovery of the true energy that had already been used, Fang Yan was actually injured by his own move. This injury might take him half a year to recover. What made Fang Yan most sad was that Zhou Yun's attack was not launched at all. After forcing him back, Zhou Yun's true energy was actually taken back into his body. This was equivalent to Zhou Yun's simple move scaring him and injuring himself. "Puff,"

　　Never in his life had he experienced such a humiliating thing. Fang Yan was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. This time, his already serious injury became even more serious because of the loss of his vital energy. His cultivation might not be able to recover. With a simple blow, Zhou Yun actually crippled Fang Yan. "Mr. Fang," just by looking at his face, everyone could see how bad Fang Yan's situation was at the moment. Seeing that Fang Yan could not even stand steadily and sat down directly, all the warriors of the Luo family immediately surrounded him. Looking at Fang Yan, Zhou Yun's eyes were still calm. "Go call someone who has enough weight to come out and talk," Zhou Yun said calmly while looking at Fang Yan. He had already felt that in the small house next to the pier, there was a powerful man with extremely high cultivation. That kind of powerful feeling made Zhou Yun's heart extremely alert. Although that man's cultivation was not as good as Yan Yin and General Hu Pen, Zhou Yun was almost irresistible. , But that kind of pressure was even greater than the pressure Li Wanqiu brought to him. That person must be the lord of Huo Luo Country, Luo Tian. Zhou Yun knew that Luo Tian would definitely not be easy to deal with, but Zhou Yun did not expect that the pressure brought to him by Luo Tian's strength would be stronger than that of Li Wanqiu. Although Li Wanqiu's cultivation was only close to the middle stage of Martial Saint, the same as Fang Yan, Zhou Yun knew that Li Wanqiu, as a royal princess, practiced the secret methods and used weapons that were all extremely powerful. Although her cultivation was only at the middle stage of Martial Saint, her true combat power was probably incomparable to that of a martial artist at the peak of Martial Saint. This situation was very similar to Zhou Yun himself. Although Zhou Yun only had the cultivation at the peak of internal organ exchange, fighting across levels was not a problem at all in Zhou Yun's opinion. With that piece of boundary crystal, Zhou Yun's true strength was originally several times stronger than that of ordinary martial artists. Coupled with top martial arts such as the Shadow Knife Sect's secret method and the Myriad Things Thunder Fist, Zhou Zhou Yun's actual combat ability had already surpassed the limit of his cultivation realm. Now, Zhou Yun sensed that the pressure Luo Tian brought to him was even greater than that of Liu Xiaohan, which meant that Luo Tian's fighting ability had surpassed the peak of Martial Saint. This was the first time that Zhou Yun had faced such an opponent in his life. "Zhou Yun, grab Xiaofeng first," Just as Zhou Yun was silently sensing and thinking in his heart, Liu Xiaohan looked at Liu Xiaofeng standing there in the distance and became anxious. All the black-clothed warriors were far from being Zhou Yun's opponents, and Fang Yan had also been repelled by Zhou Yun. Now there was no one who could resist Zhou Yun. If he didn't take this opportunity to rescue Liu Xiaofeng, what were he waiting for? With Liu Xiaohan's cultivation, he naturally couldn't feel the terror of Luo Tian in the hut. Although Luo Tian was still sitting in the hut, if Zhou Yun made any unusual movements, Liu Xiaofeng would definitely not be able to be rescued, and he might even die directly. "It's not the time yet," Zhou Yun said silently. Shaking his head, Zhou Yun spoke slowly. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yun's expression immediately became solemn, and his body shook. Before Liu Xiaohan could ask a question, she was immediately shocked by Zhou Yun and retreated three or four steps. Looking at it, Liu Xiaohan suddenly found that Zhou Yun's aura had completely changed. His whole body was surrounded by powerful lightning. Lightning as thick as a bowl almost covered all areas of Zhou Yun's body. In the blue lightning, a touch of purple light flowed madly like a little snake. In a short period of time, Zhou Yun had raised his strength to the peak. Not only that, Zhou Yun also took out his own boundary crystal, and the power of the condensed body was injected into it in an instant, allowing Zhou Yun's strength to rise to an unparalleled peak in an instant. "Thunder Strike," Zhou Yun shouted, and punched out with both fists, and at this time, a green light also jumped out of the hut, and collided fiercely with Zhou Yun's lightning power.

　　Chapter 184 Powerful Support

　　Rumble.

　　A violent explosion sounded. Suddenly, Zhou Yun's lightning power and the green power coming from the hut canceled each other out in an instant. Retreat.

　　The hut beside the dock was completely blown apart by this attack. Inside the hut, a domineering and majestic figure also appeared. It was Luo Tian.

　　Zhou Yun slowly finished his training. He took a deep breath. He felt much more at ease. Just now, he could feel that he did not suffer any loss in that fight. Moreover, his true strength was even stronger than Luo Tian's.

　　But Luo Tian's attack contained another element, not pure true power.

　　At this time, Luo Tian also saw Zhou Yun for the first time. He was handsome and full of vigor. He looked just over sixteen years old, but his strength was already so strong.

　　Luo Tian had already exerted 80% of his strength in that attack. However, in the collision of true strength, Luo Tian suddenly found that he was at a disadvantage. Zhou Yun's true strength in that attack was even stronger than his.

　　However, his attacks do not rely solely on the strength of his true power to hurt people.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun in the green light in the distance, Luo Tian raised a wicked smile and said, "How is my Five Poison Palm? Your Highness, do you find it useful?"

　　Five Poison Palms...

　　After hearing what Luo Tian said, Zhou Yun suddenly understood. No wonder Luo Tian's attack gave him a strange feeling. It seemed that there was something else besides the real power. Unexpectedly, it was poison.

　　This move was really extremely vicious. When warriors were fighting, they used their true strength at full speed. The blood circulation and true strength circulation in the body were extremely fast. If they were contaminated with some toxins during the battle, the speed at which these toxins spread would also be extremely terrifying.

　　As expected, Zhou Yun immediately felt a sharp pain all over his body. When they were fighting, the poison in Luo Tian's attack had actually penetrated into Zhou Yun's body quietly.

　　"This move is really vicious. But fortunately, I am not afraid of poison." Zhou Yun thought silently in his heart. His face also turned cold. Holding the boundary crystal in his hand, the traces of poison in his body were immediately absorbed by the boundary crystal along the meridians. At this speed, in a few breaths, the poison emitted by Luo Tian had no effect on Zhou Yun.

　　"Not bad. If the king doesn't have more powerful means, it's really disappointing." Zhou Yun looked at Luo Tian calmly and spoke slowly.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun must first stabilize Luo Tian. A direct fight at this time is not the best choice. He has Liu Xiaohan and Liu Xiaofeng to take care of. Moreover, Zhou Yun, who has not yet broken through the Martial Saint realm, is not sure that he can defeat Luo Tian at this time.

　　At present, what Zhou Yun needs is time to prepare.

　　After listening to Zhou Yun's words, Luo Tian's expression finally changed when he saw the green poison gas around Zhou Yun actually began to gather towards him and then be inhaled by him. However, the poison gas had no effect on him at all.

　　It seems that the prince of Liuyun Kingdom is indeed extraordinary.

　　"Your Highness, you have great skills. However, Your Highness came to my Huo Luo from afar, but directly captured my child Luo Chen. Such behavior is probably not in line with the way of strengthening the country." Having given up the idea of ​​defeating Zhou Yun directly, Luo Tian began to choose to advance in a roundabout way.

　　Zhou Yun needed time to prepare. So did he. Right now, he knew nothing about Zhou Yun's background. He also needed to stabilize Zhou Yun first.

　　"Captured." Zhou Yun immediately became confused when he heard Luo Tian's words. Luo Chen had clearly been killed by him. Why would Luo Tian say that he had been captured?

　　At this time, Zhou Yun noticed that Liu Xiaofeng blinked slightly. Suddenly, Zhou Yun understood the whole story.

　　I'm afraid. These are all what Liu Xiaofeng said deliberately to save his life. If Luo Chen hadn't been used to hang Luo Tian, ​​I'm afraid Liu Xiaofeng would have been a corpse by now.

　　He had figured things out in his mind. But Zhou Yun's face remained expressionless. "Luo Chen was disrespectful to Xiao Han and also offended me. It is only natural for me to punish him a little. Besides, didn't you, Lord, take out your anger on a thirteen-year-old child while I was away from Baiyue City?"

　　While speaking, Zhou Yun still had a look of disdain on his face, and he was obviously extremely disgusted with Luo Tian's arrest of Liu Xiaofeng.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun standing there, Luo Tian's eyes moved quickly. Now, he was thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him in order to save Luo Chen and prevent Baiyue City from becoming too big in the future.

　　A smile appeared on his face. Luo Tian said, "Your Highness, you are joking. My son Luo Chen was abducted by you. I finally found out that this matter was related to Baiyue City. That's why I invited Young Master Liu to be the hostage. If Your Highness is willing, we can exchange one for another. This matter will be over. What do you think?"

　　In fact, Luo Tian was not willing to offend Zhou Yun. After all, the title of Liuyun Kingdom was still extremely valuable. After seeing Zhou Yun's cultivation, Luo Tian really believed that Zhou Yun was the so-called prince of Liuyun Kingdom.

　　After hearing Luo Tian's words, Zhou Yun also showed a faint smile on his face. "Lord Luo, you are too polite. This matter was originally just a misunderstanding. In this case, I will be waiting for you in Baiyue City in three days. Then we will exchange one person for another."

　　"It's a deal." Zhou Yun's expression meant that he was willing to accept the settlement. After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Luo Tian nodded immediately.

　　"In that case, I'll take my leave now." Having achieved his goal, Zhou Yun bowed to Luo Tian and left with Liu Xiaohan.

　　When passing by Liu Xiaofeng, Liu Xiaohan's body trembled noticeably, but Zhou Yun pulled her away.

　　Zhou Yun could sense that Liu Xiaofeng seemed extremely calm at the moment. Although the ropes on his body were tied very tightly, Liu Xiaofeng didn't care at all. He remained calm.

　　Seeing Liu Xiaofeng's performance, Zhou Yun had more recognition for him.

　　In the post station in front of Jinghu Lake, Zhou Yun found the horses that the two had stored when they came. He directly mounted the horses and pulled up the reins. Liu Xiaohan and Zhou Yun immediately rode out.

　　The horses of the two were well taken care of during this period. They were strong enough. In about an incense stick of time, the two had galloped more than ten miles. Mirror Lake was out of their sight.

　　Entering the rocky area, Liu Xiaohan looked at Zhou Yun and hesitated to speak several times.

　　"Just say whatever you want to say. It's absolutely safe here." Seeing Liu Xiaohan's embarrassment, Zhou Yun said.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan immediately dispelled her worries. "Zhou Yun, Luo Chen has been killed by us. How can we find him now? What about Xiaofeng? Will he be in danger over there?"

　　As soon as she opened her mind, Liu Xiaohan immediately asked several questions like a machine gun. Liu Xiaohan was very worried when Zhou Yun and Luo Tian were talking just now. Now, finally leaving Jinghu Lake, Liu Xiaohan couldn't help asking.

　　"Xiao Feng will not be in danger for the time being. As for Luo Chen, I naturally cannot take him out. But I don't want to really wait until three days later. Within three days, I will secretly go to the Luo family. If possible, I will kill Luo Tian and bring Xiao Feng out." Zhou Yun said with a frown.

　　Actually, Zhou Yun bought himself some time this time. His main purpose was to make a breakthrough in his cultivation. He had not yet reached the peak of internal organ training and blood exchange and entered the realm of martial saint. It would be extremely difficult for him to rashly fight a life-and-death battle with Luo Tian, ​​who had already surpassed the realm of martial saint.

　　But if Zhou Yun could reach the Martial Saint realm, he would have a good chance of winning the battle against Luo Tian. Now, Zhou Yun was gambling, betting that he could break through quickly.

　　"Zhou Yun, Xiao Feng is in your hands. You must save him." Looking at Zhou Yun's expression, Liu Xiaohan knew that Zhou Yun was not completely sure about this matter. Although she knew that what she said was unreasonable, Liu Xiaohan still couldn't help but ask Zhou Yun.

　　Facing a strong man like Luo Tian, ​​Liu Xiaohan had no way to deal with it. She could only rely on Zhou Yun for this matter.

　　Seeing Liu Xiaohan's tearful face, Zhou Yun nodded.

　　"Within three days, I should be able to break through to the Martial Saint realm. If I fight hard then, I may have a chance to win. But our forces are still too weak." Zhou Yun had already made a decision in his mind, but he still felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.

　　After all, in addition to Luo Tian, ​​the Luo family also has many other powerful warriors. Although he crippled Fang Yan, there are so many Luo family warriors who practiced blood exchange. None of them can be resisted by the Liu family.

　　Just as Zhou Yun was thinking silently, the horse under his crotch suddenly neighed.

　　His attention was drawn back. Zhou Yun looked forward. Suddenly, a veiled white figure entered Zhou Yun's sight.

　　Seeing that figure, Zhou Yun's eyes immediately lit up.

　　He jumped off his horse and saluted respectfully. "Meet the Third Princess."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words and watching his reaction, Liu Xiaohan was also surprised.

　　"The third princess. Could it be that this woman is the princess of Liuyun Country?" Zhou Yun had said before that he was from Liuyun Country. Now Zhou Yun was so respectful to the white-clothed woman. The woman in white must be the real royal family of the mysterious country of Liuyun Country.

　　The woman in white opposite was Li Wanqiu. As soon as Li Wanqiu appeared, Liu Xiaohan immediately felt her supreme temperament. Although she was wearing a veil, from her snow-like skin, eyes like autumn water and delicate figure, it could be seen that she was definitely a very beautiful woman. Even more beautiful than her.

　　Liu Xiaohan quickly followed Zhou Yun down the horse. She walked behind Zhou Yun and bowed respectfully to Li Wanqiu.

　　Standing there quietly, Li Wanqiu looked at Zhou Yun. Then he looked at Liu Xiaohan beside him. Then he spoke calmly, "Zhou Yun. There are only three days left. Aren't you going to go back this time?"

　　Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun immediately raised his head in surprise.

　　"Only three days left..." Zhou Yun really didn't expect this. He didn't know how long he had stayed in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm. After the battle with the Hydra Demon, Zhou Yun only remembered that he slept for a long time. But Zhou Yun really didn't know how much time it was.

　　Now it seems that Zhou Yun actually slept for more than a month in the pit in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm.

　　If Li Wanqiu hadn't appeared to remind him, Zhou Yun would have missed this test. By then, getting a full set of the Wanxiang Benlei Fist would have been a luxury.

　　"Thank you for your reminder, Third Princess. Zhou Yun will definitely return before the deadline." Zhou Yun bowed to Li Wanqiu in gratitude. He then spoke. "Third Princess. Zhou Yun has something to ask for your help."

　　Although Zhou Yun was greatly shocked by the news that there were only three days left for the assessment, Li Wanqiu's appearance gave him more surprise.

　　If Li Wanqiu could help him, then dealing with Luo Tian and rescuing Liu Xiaofeng would be a simple matter.

　　Although he was not from the Black Flame Continent, he was destined to be just a passer-by here. But since he had met the Liu family siblings, it was fate. Before Zhou Yun left, he had to solve this matter and get rid of Liu Xiaohan and Liu Xiaofeng's worries.

　　"Okay." After staring into Zhou Yun's eyes for a long time, Li Wanqiu finally agreed.

　　Chapter 185: The Giant Tree in the Crystal World

　　After finding another horse, Zhou Yun, Li Wanqiu and Liu Xiaohan returned to Baiyue City together. Liu Xiaohan seemed a little restrained along the way. Although she was the daughter of a city lord and had a noble status, the difference in natural temperament was still very obvious compared to a real princess like Li Wanqiu. With Li Wanqiu by her side, Liu Xiaohan seemed to dare not speak casually, and Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu were also silent. Without Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu rarely communicated with each other. The three of them came to Baiyue City in silence. Compared with before, the current Baiyue City not only maintained the previous quietness, but also seemed to have a hint of sadness. When entering the city, the people on both sides of the road still consciously made way. road, but compared with before, the expressions of these people were less peaceful and more desolate. Before Liu Xiaohan could ask, in the distance, on the highest flagpole in the center of Baiyue City, a charred corpse had entered her sight. The corpse had just died, and was obviously burned to death by the flames. In the hot weather, although it was hung more than ten meters in the air, it still emanated a foul stench. Looking at the corpse, Liu Xiaohan had a vague feeling of déjà vu. Suddenly, an iron plate around the waist of the corpse entered Liu Xiaohan's sight. Seeing the iron plate, Liu Xiaohan's eyes suddenly turned red. "Uncle Bai," exclaimed Liu Xiaohan, and she dismounted and rushed over. She had seen Come, that person is Bai He who has taken care of her for many years in the Liu family. "Miss, don't go over there." Liu Xiaohan had just run a few steps when several figures rushed out from the edge of the small square, trying to stop Liu Xiaohan. Upon closer inspection, she found that these people were actually warriors from the Liu family. Some of them Zhou Yun had even seen before. When they saw Liu Xiaohan return and wanted to put Bai He's body down from the flagpole, those warriors from the Liu family immediately rushed out from the dark. They had been here all this time. As those people stopped Liu Xiaohan, several black figures also flashed out quickly and stood directly under the flagpole, blocking the way of Liu Xiaohan and her group. "Old Fang has an order. Bai He is stubborn and recalcitrant. He rushed into the fire pole. Luo Guo has been executed, and his body has been exposed to the sun for a month. No one is allowed to approach. The four flashing black shadows were the warriors of the Luo family. When Fang Yan left, he had already issued an order to expose Bai He's body to the sun for a month. Now, the warriors of the Luo family naturally had to carry out his order. Looking at Bai He hanging there, tears immediately rolled down Liu Xiaohan's eyes. The warriors of the Liu family also had red eyes, but the gap in strength was there. They had thought about snatching Bai He's body away at night, but failed. Instead, more than a dozen people died in vain. Everything in the distance naturally fell into the eyes of Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu. Looking at Liu Xiaohan who was already crying, Li Wanqiu slowly said, "You want to help them,"

　　Nodding, Zhou Yun said, "Well, this is a pair of siblings. Seeing them reminds me of how my sister took care of me when I was a child. I feel close to them, so I want to help them. This time, I will get rid of the people from Huo Luo Country before leaving. I hope the third princess can also help me."

　　Zhou Yun's words were extremely sincere. After hearing Zhou Yun's explanation, Li Wanqiu also silently agreed with Zhou Yun's words. In fact, when she saw Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaohan together, Li Wanqiu felt a little dissatisfied. After all, Zhou Yun already had Li Xiaoxiao by his side. If he was affectionate everywhere, it would seem that he was not doing his job properly and had bad behavior. But now it seems that she obviously misunderstood Zhou Yun. "Okay, I will work with you to solve this problem." Since she has already approved Zhou Yun to do this, Li Wanqiu will naturally not Standing by and watching with his hands folded, his expression slightly condensed, a ray of white light immediately appeared at Li Wanqiu's fingertips, and with a gentle push, the white light immediately shot out and headed straight for the four Luo family warriors who were guarding the flagpole at the far end. With their eyes wide open, they didn't have time to scream, and the sword light had already cut the throats of the four warriors. Then, the sword light soared up and directly cut the rope hanging Bai He. Instantly, Bai He's charred body fell from the sky. Seeing this, Zhou Yun finally took action She pushed her palm forward slightly, and suddenly, a powerful force appeared under Baihe's body, caught Baihe's body, and gently placed it on the ground. Seeing that the four Luo family warriors who were still showing off their might were killed in an instant, the people of Baiyue City immediately cheered, "Thank you, thank you." Knowing that it was Li Wanqiu and Zhou Yun who helped her, Liu Xiaohan immediately turned around gratefully, and thanked Li Wanqiu and Zhou Yun repeatedly, snatched Baihe's body back, and the crowd also moved forward. After returning to the Liu family mansion, the Liu family mansion was now immersed in sorrow. Bai He died, Liu Xiaofeng was captured, and most of the Liu family's warriors were lost in this tragedy. The Liu family has now become extremely deserted. After arranging Bai He's body and preparing for the burial, Liu Xiaohan immediately returned to Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao. Looking at the couple in front of her, Liu Xiaohan bowed deeply again, "Your Highness, Zhou Yun, thank you,"

　　Liu Xiaohan's bow was very deep, her whole body bent to ninety degrees. It was obvious that the gratitude in her heart was far more than a simple bow could express, but now, she had no way to give the two of them more rewards. Looking at Liu Xiaohan's delicate body bending deeply in front of him, Zhou Yun's heart also rose with emotion. Bai He was killed, and now, the Liu family had even less to rely on. At this time, Zhou Yun also made a decision in his heart. He would never let Luo Tian, ​​including the Luo family, go. "Third Princess, I will go into seclusion for two days to impact the realm of Martial Saint. Regardless of success or failure, you must wake me up after two days. We will go to Huoluo Country together, kill Luo Tian, ​​and then return directly." There are only three days left before the return. Now Zhou Yun can only strive to break through in the shortest time. No matter what, he must return before the end of the assessment time. The Myriad Thunder Fist in the training camp was extremely important to him, and Zhou Yun could not let it go. In the next two days, no matter whether he could break through or not, a battle with Luo Tian was inevitable. Moreover, Zhou Yun had just felt that Li Wanqiu's strength was stronger than when he first entered the Black Flame Continent. With Li Wanqiu's help, he believed that it would not be a problem to defeat Luo Tian. "Okay, go ahead. I'll wake you up when the time comes," Li Wanqiu nodded and said directly, "Well," he saluted Li Wanqiu and signaled to Liu Xiaohan with his eyes. Zhou Yun turned around and entered his room. Looking at the long sword on Liu Xiaohan's waist, Li Wanqiu thought for a while, waved his hand and took out a thread-bound book from the space ring, "Since you are a sword practitioner, this sword manual is given to you. There are some of my experiences in it. Remember, keep it well and don't expose it."

　　With a flash of surprise in her eyes, Liu Xiaohan immediately took the sword manual and thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Princess. Xiaohan is very grateful."

　　"Yeah," nodded casually, Li Wanqiu turned around and entered his room and closed the door. Although Li Wanqiu's attitude was very cold, Liu Xiaohan did not feel dissatisfied. She had already determined that these two people were the nobles she met. If it weren't for Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu, the current Liu family would probably no longer exist. Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu had already closed the doors of their rooms. Liu Xiaohan did not dare to disturb them. Although she was still worried, she could only return to her room and wait silently. At this time, Zhou Yun was already sitting at the head of the bed in his room. This time when he came to the Black Flame Continent, the number of Black Flame Crystals Zhou Yun obtained far exceeded his initial imagination, because he knew how precious the Black Flame Crystals were. Thousands of Black Flame Crystals were simply incredible to Zhou Yun, but so many Black Flame Crystals appeared together with the ancient beast Hydra Demon, so Zhou Yun could understand it. With such a powerful ancient beast here, it is not surprising to have so many black flame crystals. It's just that Zhou Yun didn't know where the nine-headed snake demon had gone. At that time, Zhou Yun had almost lost the power to resist and could only wait to die. But for some reason, the nine-headed snake demon suddenly disappeared, and Zhou Yun also saved his life. "Don't think about it anymore. Let's practice first and see if I can break through the realm within two days." After sorting out his thoughts and finding that there were still no clues to many things, Zhou Yun finally gave up thinking about it. Before, Zhou Yun felt that he had touched the realm of Martial Saint. Now, he was just one breath away. During these two days, Zhou Yun only wanted to do one thing, and that was to break through his own cultivation. He took out the boundary crystal from the space ring. Zhou Yun held his breath and concentrated his mind. His mind immediately entered the boundary crystal space. Zhou Yun, who was meditating, also closed his eyes silently. Zhou Yun closed his eyes and his consciousness came to the inky condensate. He felt the familiar feeling of vastness again. He took a deep breath of the pure air in the inky world, then stood up. "Hmm", Zhou Yun immediately felt a powerful force appear in front of him. Feeling this force, Zhou Yun's heart was immediately surprised. He looked up and saw a giant tree that was almost towering. The tree was seventy or eighty meters high. More than a dozen people could hug it, with lush branches and leaves, and it was extremely majestic. The most important thing was that the strong sense of oppression transmitted from the tree made Zhou Yun feel his heart tremble. "When did this giant tree appear?" It has been almost a year since Zhou Yun got this world crystal. Until now, he has been the only one in this inky world. Now, there is suddenly such a giant tree, which makes Zhou Yun How could he not be surprised? Looking at the magnificent giant tree in front of him, a familiar feeling suddenly emerged in Zhou Yun's heart, "Isn't this giant tree the one I met in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm?" After observing it carefully, Zhou Yun immediately shouted in astonishment. He had seen that there was a fine line in the heart of the giant tree. This was the scar left by Zhou Yun's sword energy at that time. There was also such a scar on this giant tree. It seemed that this giant tree must be the one he met in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm. "Could it be that at the critical moment, my boundary crystal sucked in this giant tree, the nine-headed snake demon, and the blood pool?" With shock remaining in his eyes, Zhou Yun murmured, "Hehehehe, it seems that you are not stupid after all." As soon as Zhou Yun's silent words came out, a cold laugh came from the ground where the giant tree was. Along with this sound, the earth of the ink-colored world immediately shook,

　　Chapter 186: The Hydra Demon's Instructions

　　Along with the horrifying tremors, a huge blood-red figure rose up from in front of the giant tree. It was actually the nine-headed snake demon!

　　Compared to what happened in the underground pit that day, the Hydra demon has undergone tremendous changes now. Its entire body is more than twice as large as it was back then, and it is more condensed. The dark red color carries a mysterious feeling that makes people unable to help but feel frightened!

　　The huge body was coiled on the ground, and above the neck, nine huge heads were swaying slowly. Although the eyes on each snake head were closed, Zhou Yun could clearly feel that this nine-headed snake demon could see things!

　　"You, why are you here?" Zhou Yun's heart was filled with shock when he saw the nine-headed snake demon appear here.

　　Now Zhou Yun has confirmed that the nine-headed snake demon, the giant tree, and the blood pool that suddenly disappeared that day must have been sucked into this crystal space.

　　The huge snake head swayed slightly, and the voice of the nine-headed snake demon flowed out again, "Humph, I wanted to kill you that day, but I didn't expect that you would directly suck me into the chaotic space and become your second realm beast. If it weren't for your good talent and the fact that my strength would grow faster in this chaotic space, I would definitely not let you go easily."

　　"Chaos Space!?" Zhou Yun was stunned upon hearing the words of the Hydra Demon, and asked hurriedly, "Senior, isn't this space a world crystal space? Why is it called Chaos Space?"

　　Zhou Yun had already judged from the words of the nine-headed snake demon that it would not continue to attack him. Zhou Yun had seen the nine-headed snake demon's methods that day. If it wanted to attack, Zhou Yun really couldn't resist.

　　Moreover, the nine-headed snake demon has said that it is now its boundary beast. Although he had never known what the boundary beast was before, Zhou Yun knew that the boundary beast was subordinate to the person who possessed the boundary crystal.

　　"Hehe... you are so lucky, you actually got a piece of Chaos Crystal. This Chaos Crystal is a crystal condensed in the center of the Chaos Continent when it was broken. It is incomparably pure. When the Chaos Continent still existed, the location of this Chaos Crystal was a holy land. All the gods looked at it with awe. I didn't expect that a kid like you could get a Chaos Crystal. You are so lucky. It's a pity that you only have a piece of Chaos Crystal, but you don't know how to practice. Your cultivation is so weak. It's really a waste of God's gift!"

　　While entrenched there, a voice came from the Hydra again. During the whole process, the Hydra never spoke a word, but the voice was transmitted from the Hydra very clearly.

　　Zhou Yun was naturally not surprised since he knew that ancient monsters like the Hydra Demon possessed countless secret techniques and powerful methods.

　　Now Zhou Yun's attention is focused on what the Hydra Demon said. He has the Chaos Crystal, but he doesn't know how to use it. Could it be that the Hydra Demon knows how to use it?

　　"Please give me some advice, senior." In an instant, Zhou Yun knew what he should do.

　　"Hmm." Watching Zhou Yun's actions, the huge snake head in the center of the nine-headed snake demon nodded and spoke slowly, "Your talent is top-notch in the Black Flame Continent, but it can only be considered second-rate among the millions of chaotic continents. Fortunately, you have obtained the Chaos Realm Crystal. If you keep working hard, you may succeed. I have been sucked into the Chaos Realm Crystal, and I cannot leave you for quite a long time. I can help you, but you have to promise me one thing."

　　"Please speak, senior." As soon as Zhou Yun heard the words of the nine-headed snake demon, he knew that it should be willing to help him.

　　For a long time, Zhou Yun's biggest frustration was that no one gave him guidance. This guidance was not only about cultivation, but also about vision. The more he practiced, the more he felt that there were many things he didn't know. As his cultivation improved, the doubts in Zhou Yun's heart continued to expand.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's sincere expression, the nine-headed snake demon finally spoke slowly, "I am one of the eight ancient beasts, with a status equivalent to that of a divine beast. You are just a warrior from a lowly continent, and you are not worthy of me being your realm beast. I can help you, but you have to let me go after my strength is fully restored."

　　After hearing what the nine-headed snake demon said, Zhou Yun immediately thought in his heart, this Chaos Realm Crystal belongs to him, and the nine-headed snake demon has been sucked into this realm crystal by him. Presumably, if he doesn't nod, he will definitely not be able to leave.

　　But Zhou Yun did not have any idea of ​​bringing the Hydra Demon under his command. Such ancient beasts were extremely arrogant, and Zhou Yun could not even see the boundaries of the Hydra Demon now.

　　In the pit of the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, Zhou Yun integrated the power of the condensed body in the boundary crystal, and even a full-strength attack could not shake the Hydra Demon at all, and there was not even a single skin injury. This made Zhou Yun realize the gap.

　　Nodding seriously, Zhou Yun said, "Okay, if you want to leave after your strength is restored, Zhou Yun will definitely not stop you."

　　After Zhou Yun finished speaking, the nine-headed snake demon's eyes narrowed slightly, and seemed to have some signs of opening. With a sneer, the nine-headed snake demon said, "You want to let me go so easily, aren't you afraid that I will turn around and kill you immediately after leaving the crystal space?"

　　Zhou Yun had also thought about the possibility mentioned by the Hydra Demon. He was not a fool. With a slight smile, Zhou Yun replied, "Don't worry, senior. When I let you go, you won't be able to touch me easily."

　　Hearing Zhou Yun's words, the aura of the Hydra Demon changed immediately, and waves of pressure came towards Zhou Yun. This was the crystal space, and Zhou Yun's body was just a simple condensed body, so he was not afraid of this kind of pressure.

　　Zhou Yun relaxed his mind and immediately entered a clear state of mind. All of a sudden, waves of pressure passed directly through Zhou Yun's body without causing any effect on him.

　　"Are you trying to cheat me? With your current level of cultivation, you still have at least a hundred years left to live. Are you going to drag me on for another hundred years?" At this time, there was already a hint of anger in the Hydra's voice.

　　Zhou Yun was not moved at all by the anger of the Hydra Demon. With a faint smile on his face, he said, "Senior, you have a long life. Even if I delay for a hundred years, this little time in your life is just a moment. Besides, if you teach me well, maybe I can leave here in less than a hundred years?"

　　"Hmph! You want to surpass me in a hundred years? You're dreaming." Looking at Zhou Yun standing there, the Hydra snorted coldly, but the anger on his body had gradually dissipated. Thinking about it, it was indeed as Zhou Yun said, a hundred years was just a flash in his life. Before that, it would be difficult for Zhou Yun to feel at ease if he released it directly.

　　However, Zhou Yun's promise to surpass him within a hundred years still made the Hydra Demon feel incredible, so he couldn't help but scold him.

　　Feeling that the Hydra's anger had gradually subsided, Zhou Yun also gathered his mind and prepared to start practicing.

　　During his previous training process, Zhou Yun had always encountered many unsolvable problems. Now, with the nine-headed snake demon around, Zhou Yun naturally had to solve these problems one by one.

　　But the most urgent task is to break through the realm and truly reach the stage of Martial Saint, so as to defeat Luo Tian and solve Liu Xiaohan's troubles.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately spoke up, "Senior, I have encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation. My true strength is far beyond that of most Yi Jin Xi Sui warriors, but my own realm cannot be raised to Yi Jin Xi Sui. I have a battle that must be fought, and I need to break through my cultivation within two days. I wonder if you can help me?"

　　"The question of Yijing Xisui is actually very simple. Only people like you from the low-level continent will regard such a realm as a martial arts level. To enter Yijing Xisui, one needs external force to push, and the other needs self-condensation. The former requires treasures, and the latter requires secrets. One of them will do. Now you practice it for me to see. I also want to know why you can't break through with your current strength." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the nine-headed snake demon immediately spoke. As he spoke, the nine-headed snake demon's body coiled even lower, and his whole body showed an extremely relaxed state.

　　Although lazy, it gives people a very comfortable feeling, as if seeing the nine-headed snake demon curled up there comfortably, one will naturally feel sleepy.

　　Naturally knowing that the Hydra Demon had reached an extremely high realm, Zhou Yun did not ask any more questions. Instead, he followed the Hydra Demon's instructions and practiced all the skills he had mastered.

　　After watching Zhou Yun perform the entire set, the huge head in the center of the Hydra Demon shook slightly, revealing a very humanistic movement, and said, "Your swordsmanship is barely acceptable, but this swordsmanship should be incomplete, right? It only has the basics, and you haven't got the upper-level mental method. In addition, the boxing with lightning is not bad, and is stronger than the swordsmanship, but the lightning boxing seems to be inferior to the swordsmanship. It is lacking in both. Not only do you lack the truly profound upper-level mental method, you probably haven't mastered the basic mental methods and moves. With this, you still want to complete Yi Jin Xi Sui, it's a foolish dream."

　　Looking at the nine-headed snake demon, Zhou Yun also felt a sense of admiration in his heart. Zhou Yun believed that the nine-headed snake demon must have never heard of the Shadow Blade Sect's secret method and the Myriad Thunder Fist, but just by watching him perform it once, it could see all the problems with these two sets. This vision was enough to shock Zhou Yun.

　　"Senior, I will find a way to complete the Shadow Blade Sect's secret techniques later, and I will also have a chance to obtain all of the Ten Thousand Things Thunder Fist, but this can only happen after this battle is over. Now, the war is approaching, and I hope that senior can point out a path that will allow me to quickly break through to the Yi Jin Xi Sui realm." Zhou Yun said, bowing slightly to the nine-headed snake demon.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the nine-headed snake demon sneered again.

　　"Hehe, you have so many Black Flame Crystals, are you still worried about not being able to break through?"

　　His eyes lit up, and Zhou Yun immediately asked, "How do I use the Black Flame Crystal? Please tell me clearly, senior!"

　　“Originally, the user would swallow the Black Flame Crystal into the mouth, or directly shatter it to absorb the power. But you have the Chaos Crystal, and your body’s repair speed is unparalleled in the world. You can try to make a small incision at your Dantian, put the Black Flame Crystal in, then repair the wound, and then use your true energy to impact and fuse it. Although the process is painful, the effect is the best.” The body began to vibrate, and the Hydra demon began to sink while speaking.

　　"Remember, you can only fuse one at the first time. After you have a breakthrough in your cultivation, I will guide you to consolidate the foundation, and then continue to fuse." The body had already disappeared into the inky earth, and the voice of the nine-headed snake demon came again.

　　"Junior will keep this in mind." Zhou Yun bowed deeply towards the place where the Hydra demon left and spoke in a steady voice.

　　Chapter 187: Breaking into the Martial Saint Realm!

　　After the nine-headed snake demon disappeared, Zhou Yun's thoughts also withdrew from the crystal space. Zhou Yun did not directly believe the words of the nine-headed snake demon, but carefully thought about the feasibility of it.

　　Although the nine-headed snake demon is considered an evil beast, it has existed for hundreds of thousands of years and is already familiar with the rules of human society.

　　From the time he first came into contact with the Nine-Headed Snake Demon in the Crystal World until now, Zhou Yun has been carefully observing the state of the Nine-Headed Snake Demon. It is an observation of its aura.

　　Zhou Yun could clearly feel the Hydra's hostility the only time it showed it, but most of the time, the Hydra was not that aggressive when facing him.

　　"If I were the Hydra, there would be no need to set such a trap. From what it said, I can tell that as long as I have this world crystal, I can deal with it. So, even if it wants to get rid of me and escape from here, it must find an opportunity to kill me with one strike. Even if fusing the Black Flame Crystal is really dangerous, it is not fatal. I believe it will not be so stupid."

　　After thinking carefully for a moment again, Zhou Yun spoke silently in his heart.

　　Moreover, the nine-headed snake demon specifically told him that he could only fuse one black flame crystal and strive to make a breakthrough in his cultivation. The other black flame crystals had to wait until the foundation was solid before being fused in order to obtain good results. This represented a long-term plan and dispelled some of Zhou Yun's concerns.

　　With a wave of his hand, Zhou Yun took out a black flame crystal from the space ring and gently held it in his hand.

　　Dragging the Black Flame Crystal, Zhou Yun immediately felt an extremely condensed force, which was extremely huge and powerful. Zhou Yun felt very comfortable just by bathing in the light and breath emitted by the Black Flame Crystal.

　　Zhou Yun couldn't help but look forward to what effects these treasures would have if they were combined.

　　Zhou Yun had already felt it when fighting with Luo Tian before. The strength of Luo Tian's true power was very good, and the solidity of his attacks was also top-notch. Most importantly, after a brief fight, Zhou Yun discovered that Luo Tian's talent was actually not that high.

　　This is also a problem that Zhou Yun saw in this area. Although Zhou Yun did not know the situation of the entire Black Flame Continent, just talking about the Northern Princes Alliance, the talents of the people here are not even as good as those on the Tianyuan Continent.

　　On the Tianyuan Continent, Zhou Yun has only seen two beings who have surpassed the realm of Martial Saint. The fact that the ruler of a small marginal country like Luo Tian can have such a level of cultivation is probably because of the power of the Black Flame Crystal.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun finally made up his mind.

　　Zhou Yun unbuttoned his clothes, took out a dagger, and stabbed it fiercely at his dantian!

　　Suddenly, a wound appeared on Zhou Yun's lower abdomen. When the wound appeared, Zhou Yun immediately stuffed the Black Flame Crystal into the wound. As soon as the Black Flame Crystal entered his body, Zhou Yun immediately felt an extremely comfortable feeling. The power naturally emitted by the Black Flame Crystal was directly absorbed by Zhou Yun's body, and the effect was very obvious!

　　Although he was surprised, Zhou Yun did not forget what he should do. He waved his hand and the boundary crystal immediately appeared in Zhou Yun's palm. After connecting with the boundary crystal, Zhou Yun immediately felt that the wound in his dantian position was healing rapidly.

　　With the Black Flame Crystal in his body, coupled with the effect of the World Crystal, the wound on Zhou Yun's dantian was healed in a very short time!

　　After about an incense stick of time, there was no trace of the wound at all. Feeling that the wound on his dantian had healed, Zhou Yun immediately regulated his breathing and prepared to proceed to the next step.

　　Although the black flame crystal was buried near the dantian, it did not actually enter the dantian. Zhou Yun's ability to gather strength in the meridians in his body was not affected.

　　He slowly raised his hands, and suddenly, a layer of true energy light visible to the naked eye floated above Zhou Yun's body. Powerful waves came, and Zhou Yun's momentum instantly increased several times!

　　Most of the true energy in his body had been dispersed, leaving only a part of it to protect his dantian. Zhou Yun suddenly contracted his body, and the true energy that was emanating from the edge of his body immediately gathered and rushed towards the black flame crystal at the dantian!

　　boom!!

　　Following the impact of Zhou Yun's powerful and domineering true energy, the black flame crystal suddenly made a roar and exploded directly!

　　As soon as the black flame crystal opened, Zhou Yun immediately fell into incomparable pain.

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun's face turned blood red!

　　The pain of this fusion is countless times greater than the pain of the previous fusion of Hunyuan True Gold!

　　But now Zhou Yun's true strength and physical endurance are no longer the same as they were back then.

　　Remembering the words of the nine-headed snake demon, Zhou Yun was mentally prepared for this kind of pain.

　　Suppressing the pain in his body, Zhou Yun began to calmly feel the changes in his body. After the black flame crystal exploded, waves of power immediately began to violently run rampant in Zhou Yun's body.

　　Not only that, from the location where the Black Flame Crystal exploded, endless power was still surging out, replenishing Zhou Yun's body!

　　"No, if we continue like this, our body will explode and there will be serious damage!!"

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun realized the crisis in front of him, and quickly gathered his mind. Zhou Yun began to channel the true energy flowing in his body into his meridians and began to run it rapidly.

　　Sitting there, Zhou Yun's face was blood red, and he kept breathing in and out. Waves of power were transmitted from the location where the Black Flame Crystal exploded, and were introduced into Zhou Yun's meridians. He then condensed it through breathing and transformed it into real power.

　　In this constant transformation, Zhou Yun's originally blood-red face gradually faded. However, the crisis was not completely resolved.

　　"The power in this Black Flame Crystal is truly enormous. So much time has passed, yet it's still being released!" Zhou Yun couldn't help but think to himself as he felt the power still gushing out from the broken part of the Black Flame Crystal at his Dantian.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun's meridians are already filled with true energy. If the black flame crystal continues to be released, Zhou Yun's meridians may not be able to bear it.

　　As if ignoring Zhou Yun's worries, waves of power continued to surge out from the place where the black flame crystal was broken. Zhou Yun had no other choice but to channel this power into his meridians and circulate it to condense it!

　　Gab!

　　As a large amount of true energy continued to be absorbed into Zhou Yun's meridians, finally, a crisp tearing sound was heard in Zhou Yun's body.

　　"Have the meridians been broken?" Zhou Yun felt his heart tremble immediately after hearing this voice.

　　Then, Zhou Yun immediately felt the changes in the meridians in his body. Holding his breath and looking inward, Zhou Yun was immediately attracted by the changes in his own meridians.

　　"This... is not the meridians being broken, but the meridians being displaced?" Feeling the changes in his body, Zhou Yun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

　　It turned out that the tearing sound just now was not the meridians being broken, but a meridian near the dantian in Zhou Yun's body had changed its original position!

　　GABA! GABA!

　　Then, the sound of Zhou Yun's meridians becoming more intense, and the meridians of the entire body began to move slowly. The Tianyang Meridian near the Dantian initially moved one inch to the right side of the body. Moreover, some of the meridian points that were originally too sharply bent also became much smoother during this displacement.

　　Suddenly, the speed at which Zhou Yun's true energy passed through that meridian became even faster!

　　As more and more meridians began to move, the speed of the true energy circulating in Zhou Yun's meridians immediately became faster. Moreover, during the movement, the meridians in Zhou Yun's body were still constantly devouring the true energy running in the meridians. After devouring these true energies, Zhou Yun's meridians immediately became tougher.

　　The feeling of fullness that I just felt disappeared without a trace in an instant!

　　The flow of true energy in the body was getting faster and faster, even leading to positive changes in Zhou Yun's whole body.

　　Small black spots were actually drawn out from Zhou Yun's bones, bringing waves of refreshing feelings.

　　Noticing this change, Zhou Yun immediately focused his mind and discovered that his bone marrow was actually transforming towards a purer direction under this change!

　　Meridians are shifted and bone marrow is purified!

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun finally understood what kind of changes he was going through!

　　"Yi Jin Xi Sui! This is the real Yi Jin Xi Sui!" Feeling the growth of his body, Zhou Yun couldn't help but show a look of ecstasy on his face.

　　His body was changing little by little, and Zhou Yun could even clearly feel the growth of his strength in this change!

　　Bone marrow purification will make the body more agile. Although Zhou Yun did not move, he already felt that his body was much lighter and faster. If he used pneumatic steps, he believed that the effect of movement would be more than twice better than before!

　　Moreover, this lightness did not affect Zhou Yun's use of the majestic and heavy Overlord Steps! Because although he was agile, Zhou Yun's body was not at all unsteady!

　　The meridian displacement completely straightened out the unreasonable meridian arrangement in the body, just like dredging rivers and regulating traffic, and the flow of true energy in Zhou Yun's body became smoother. After the meridian displacement, Zhou Yun's speed of mobilizing true energy was several times faster than before.

　　Not only that, because the true energy runs fast in the body, when Zhou Yun is performing the circulation of energy, one circulation takes half the time than before. This will directly lead to a faster speed of cultivation in the future!

　　Finally, as the transformation of Zhou Yun was completely completed, the place where the black flame crystal was broken emitted a burst of true power and finally returned to calm!

　　Feeling the abundant strength in his body, his agile body and strong meridians, Zhou Yun found that with his current body's ability to withstand, he would have no problem absorbing a few more Black Flame Crystals!

　　But thinking of the words of the nine-headed snake demon, Zhou Yun quietly gave up the idea.

　　Following the guidance of the Hydra Demon, Zhou Yun has benefited greatly from this fusion. This also proves that the Hydra Demon really wants to guide him. With such a being who has existed for hundreds of thousands of years and is the mentor of the eight ancient strange beasts, wouldn't Zhou Yun not make good use of it?

　　Since the Hydra suggested that he absorb only one, he would definitely do so.

　　"My cultivation has finally broken through to the Martial Saint realm. I didn't expect the process to be so fast. It's time to find some trouble with Luo Tian." Feeling the power surging in his body, Zhou Yun clenched his fists and a faint smile appeared on his face.

　　Chapter 188 Private Agreement

　　Taking out some water from the space ring, Zhou Yun simply washed up, changed into a set of clean clothes, then opened the door and walked out of the room.

　　Li Wanqiu's room was right next to his. Without disturbing Liu Xiaohan, Zhou Yun gently knocked on Li Wanqiu's door.

　　"Who?" Although Zhou Yun's knocking sound was very light, Li Wanqiu still responded immediately.

　　"Third Princess, I'm ready. Let's set off tonight." Zhou Yun lowered his voice and spoke into the room.

　　Soon, the door of the room was opened and Li Wanqiu walked out of the room.

　　"Huh? You have made a breakthrough?" Li Wanqiu looked up and immediately discovered the changes in Zhou Yun. At this moment, Zhou Yun's complexion was translucent, his eyes were bright, and he was extremely handsome. Li Wanqiu naturally knew that this was the result of a warrior's Yi Jing marrow cleansing. However, this performance in Zhou Yun was too obvious!

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun nodded and said, "Yes, I just broke through."

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun did not notice any changes in his appearance. He just found that his skin was much better than before when he was washing. He thought it was just the effect of a breakthrough in his cultivation and did not think it would be so obvious.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's confident smile, Li Wanqiu was slightly startled. Thinking back, when Zhou Yun first entered the Shenwei training camp, there was still a huge gap between them. But in just six months, Zhou Yun had caught up like a rocket.

　　Now, Zhou Yun's strength is almost equal to hers. Although the two have never really fought each other, Li Wanqiu can feel that Zhou Yun's strength is now not weaker than hers.

　　She has such a strong fighting power because she has many royal secrets, especially the secrets of the Sword Pavilion, and can fight against opponents of higher levels. However, Zhou Yun's true strength is also extremely strong, and he can really defeat ten opponents with one force.

　　Now she has no advantage over Zhou Yun.

　　"Zhou Yun, how many Black Flame Crystals have you obtained now?" Li Wanqiu asked slowly, looking at Zhou Yun with eyes as calm as a cold pond.

　　Because of the requirements of that level of assessment, the number of Black Flame Crystals obtained is the focus of competition between Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu. Zhou Yun did not expect Li Wanqiu to ask this directly, and he did not know how to answer for a moment.

　　Naturally, Li Wanqiu could see Zhou Yun's hesitation, and she said, "During this period of time, I have obtained a total of 300 Black Flame Crystals. If you have more than this, then you win this time. In fact, Black Flame Crystals are very precious. Even a princess of the royal family like me cannot throw this thing away casually. If possible, we should give less to the Shenwei Training Camp and solve the problem privately."

　　After listening to Li Wanqiu's words, Zhou Yun understood what she meant. Zhou Yun also realized the preciousness of the Black Flame Crystal. Although he now has a huge number of Black Flame Crystals and it seems that he will not be able to use so many, Zhou Yun knows that the Black Flame Crystal will definitely play a big role in the future. Zhou Yun does not want to hand it over just like that.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun said, "Third Princess, I got quite a lot of Black Flame Crystals, at least thousands of them."

　　Zhou Yun did not explicitly state how many Black Flame Crystals he had. He only pointed out that he had more Black Flame Crystals than Li Wanqiu, with the number exceeding thousands.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun was also a little shocked when he heard that Li Wanqiu had collected 300 Black Flame Crystals in such a short time. The reason why Zhou Yun had so many Black Flame Crystals was entirely because of the encounter with the Hydra Demon.

　　Otherwise, with Zhou Yun's efficiency at the time, he would not have been able to obtain so many Black Flame Crystals in more than a month.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's frank expression, Li Wanqiu also believed what Zhou Yun said. After thinking for a moment, Li Wanqiu said, "How about this. This time when we go to Huoluo Country, if you can kill Luo Tian by yourself, then after returning to the training camp, you have to pay 150 Black Flame Crystals, 100 of which are yours and 50 of which are mine. In this way, you can get the chance to obtain the Myriad Thunder Fist. If you cannot kill Luo Tian by yourself and need my help, after returning to the Shenwei Training Camp, you have to pay 150 Black Flame Crystals, 100 of which are yours and 50 of which are mine. In addition, you need to give me 300 Black Flame Crystals."

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Zhou Yun looked over with some surprise. According to Li Wanqiu, this time going to kill Luo Tian was a gamble. If he could win, he could win the opportunity to obtain the full set of Wanxiang Benlei Fist at a very small cost.

　　If he fails to win, he can still win the chance to obtain the full set of All-Elephant Thunder Fist, but the price will be higher.

　　Considering the number of Black Flame Crystals that Zhou Yun currently possesses, the stakes of three hundred Black Flame Crystals are not too big, but that set of All-Seeing Thunder Fist is too important to Zhou Yun.

　　Li Wanqiu's invitation to gamble this time is actually good for Zhou Yun.

　　"It's a deal." Nodding, Zhou Yun agreed to Li Wanqiu's request.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun agreed, Li Wanqiu nodded silently and waved her hand. A black cloak was immediately put on her body. After putting on a black veil, Li Wanqiu's appearance was immediately completely hidden.

　　Seeing Li Wanqiu's actions, Zhou Yun also waved his hand and took out a black cloak, and then put on a veil.

　　"Okay, let's go." Li Wanqiu was ready. She said something to Zhou Yun, then she jumped up and flew directly from the roof of the Liu family's mansion. Zhou Yun also closed Li Wanqiu's door and then flew up.

　　With their current cultivation level, they could leave the Liu family quietly and it would be impossible for the warriors of the Liu family to discover them.

　　It was already very dark at this time, and the gates of Baiyue City had long been closed, but the more than ten-meter-high city wall was almost like nothing in front of Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu.

　　After climbing over the city wall, the two men got two horses from the post station outside the city and galloped away along the dirt road.

　　Baiyue City is more than 600 miles away from Huoluo City, the capital of Huoluo State. It should take at least tomorrow morning to reach such a long distance, but with Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu's cultivation level, this distance is not a big problem.

　　Along the way, the two men kept urging their horses forward quickly. When the horses got tired, the two men simply turned over and walked forward. Their speed was even faster than that of a horse. After encountering a post station, they changed horses again and maintained the fastest speed along the way.

　　It took the two of them less than four hours to travel a distance of 600 miles. At this moment, there was still one hour before dawn, which was the darkest time of the night.

　　From afar, the city walls of Huolo City came into view of the two. Compared with the low-rise Baiyue City, Huolo City, as the core of the Northern Princes Alliance, was built very magnificently.

　　The forty-meter-high city wall stood tall into the sky, carrying an intimidating aura. However, even though the wall of Huluo City was twice as high as that of Baiyue City, it was not enough to cause any obstacle to Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu.

　　Releasing his spiritual sense, Zhou Yun had already clearly sensed the position of the patrolling guards on the city wall. He signaled to Li Wanqiu to follow him. Zhou Yun took advantage of the gap when the guards on the city wall were changing shifts, leaped up, stepped on the city wall twice, and finally jumped up.

　　After breaking into the Yijing Marrow Cleansing Realm, Zhou Yun's body became lighter than before. Such a height was not a problem for Zhou Yun at all. If he was not afraid of excessive shock of his true energy, he could even jump up in one go.

　　Following behind Zhou Yun, Li Wanqiu's movements seemed more graceful. A white light flashed at his fingertips, and Li Wanqiu actually floated up lightly. Guided by the sword light at his fingertips, he flew onto the city wall and landed beside Zhou Yun.

　　"Let's go." Seeing Li Wanqiu climbing up the city wall so easily, Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh at the power of the Sword Pavilion's secret technique. Feeling the patrol position of the guards in the city below, Zhou Yun called out to Li Wanqiu and immediately fell down.

　　Behind Zhou Yun, Li Wanqiu naturally followed closely.

　　After entering Huolo City, Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu quickly moved towards the city center along the shadows of the streets and houses. They walked silently along the way.

　　Zhou Yun has already released his spiritual sense to the maximum. After entering the Martial Saint realm, Zhou Yun's spiritual sense range has expanded to a radius of fifty miles. At this moment, the entire Huoluo City has been covered by Zhou Yun's sensing range.

　　With such a large sensing range, Zhou Yun could naturally find the Luo family's mansion easily.

　　After walking for about a cup of tea, the Luo family's mansion in the center of Huo Luo City came into their sight.

　　At the main gate of the Luo family mansion, four black-clothed warriors holding knives were standing there quietly. Although it was late at night, the four warriors did not show any sign of sleepiness. Feeling the past, Zhou Yun could sense the blood and energy of the four warriors rising to the sky!

　　"Four warriors who have reached the peak of their internal organ blood exchange skills." Zhou Yun, whose body was hidden in the shadows in the corner, spoke to Li Wanqiu, "There are four outside the door, and there are four more inside."

　　Looking at the four warriors, Li Wanqiu pondered for a moment and then said, "I'll take care of the four at the door, and you can take care of the four inside, okay?"

　　Along the way, Li Wanqiu has clearly felt the power of Zhou Yun's spiritual perception. She can feel it herself that the entire Huolo City is under heavy protection, with mobile sentries everywhere. Even for her, if she wants to sneak in here without being discovered by anyone, she will probably need to spend some time thinking.

　　But Zhou Yun hardly stopped along the way and brought her straight here. He encountered almost no defense on the way. It seemed that Zhou Yun could feel the movements of everyone around him. It was extremely magical.

　　According to this judgment, Li Wanqiu felt that it would be more appropriate for Zhou Yun to deal with the warriors hidden inside the door, while she would deal with the warriors at the door. After all, if she dealt with the warriors inside the door, there was still a possibility of failure when the sensing was not very clear. If she could not kill them with one strike, and let those warriors scream, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

　　"Okay, leave the four warriors inside to me." After hearing Li Wanqiu's words, Zhou Yun also knew her thoughts and nodded. Zhou Yun's figure flashed, and he immediately leaned quietly against the outer wall of the Luo family mansion.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's actions, Li Wanqiu was also ready, and a white halo floated on his fingertips.

　　There were also patrolling warriors inside the Luo family mansion. Taking advantage of an opportunity, Zhou Yun turned over and sneaked into the Luo family mansion.

　　Following the base of the wall, Zhou Yun soon found the main entrance of the Luo family mansion. Inside the entrance, four warriors were standing there like javelins.

　　After taking a deep breath, a hint of grey sword energy instantly appeared in Zhou Yun's hand.

　　"Who!" As Zhou Yun's true energy gathered, the warriors in the doorway immediately noticed Zhou Yun's presence.

　　Swish, swish, swish!

　　Before he could finish his question, the grey sword energy immediately split into four and shot out towards the four warriors. Before they could react, the four warriors immediately felt swords in their brows, opened their eyes wide, and fell down softly.

　　At the same time, outside the door, the sword light from Li Wanqiu's fingertips leaped out rapidly, and quickly rotated in front of the four warriors at the door of Luo's mansion. The throats of the four warriors had been cut.

　　Chapter 189: On the verge of breaking out

　　After the four warriors fell, the door of the Luo family immediately opened a crack from the inside, and Zhou Yun's figure jumped out, pulling the four dead warriors into the shadows. Seeing Zhou Yun appear, Li Wanqiu also ran up quickly.

　　"What should we do next?" Li Wanqiu asked Zhou Yun while staying beside him. At this moment, Li Wanqiu had already judged that it was best to follow Zhou Yun's arrangements under the current circumstances. What happened just now also proved her judgment.

　　After sensing silently for a moment, Zhou Yun said, "Luo Tian is in the mansion today. In addition to him, there are more than 80 warriors practicing blood transfusion in the entire Luo family mansion. There are no other martial saints. One-third of the warriors are patrolling in the mansion in teams of four, and the remaining warriors are resting in three locations. Let's first find a place where those patrolling teams must pass, eliminate these patrolling warriors, and then sneak in quietly!"

　　"Okay." After listening to Zhou Yun's arrangements, Li Wanqiu nodded.

　　The action plan had been agreed upon. Zhou Yun immediately slipped in through the crack in the door, followed by Li Wanqiu, and the main door of the Luo family mansion closed again.

　　After walking for a while along the path on the left side of the mansion, Zhou Yun found a cluster of flowers on the roadside. He held his breath and concentrated his mind, gathering all the energy in his body. Zhou Yun paused there and pointed at a flower bed opposite.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's actions, Li Wanqiu nodded in understanding and hid behind the flower bed.

　　As soon as the two of them hid their bodies, a team of warriors came over from deep inside the mansion. They were a team of patrolling warriors from the Luo family.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu had completely concealed their auras. As long as they did not use their internal energy, those patrolling warriors who practiced blood transfusion would not be able to discover them at all. But once they started to use their internal energy, those warriors would be killed instantly.

　　Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu hid on both sides of the path respectively. When the four patrolling warriors came to the center of the two people, Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu were less than four meters away from the four warriors.

　　If Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu wanted to attack at such a close distance, these warriors might not even be able to make a sound.

　　Things turned out just as expected. Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu attacked at the same time. Gray blade energy and white sword light flashed from both sides of the path at the same time. They slid past lightly and the four warriors were already beheaded.

　　Until they died, they had no idea what had happened.

　　"There are a total of five patrol teams in their front yard. They will all pass by here. Let's continue waiting here." Zhou Yun ran out quickly, picked up the bodies of the four men and threw them behind a nearby big tree, then spoke to Li Wanqiu.

　　Nodding, Li Wanqiu immediately continued to hide with Zhou Yun.

　　Although the two men attacked fiercely just now, they controlled their strength. The four warriors were stabbed in the neck and their throats were cut. Although they died, they did not bleed too much.

　　Otherwise, depending on the skills of the other warriors, even the slightest smell of blood would probably alert them.

　　Lurking there, soon, several other teams of warriors also patrolled here one by one, but the fate of these warriors could only be the same as the first team of warriors.

　　After dealing with these five teams of warriors, Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu gathered together again.

　　"Third Princess, now all the warriors in the front yard have been dealt with, and only the back garden is left. Luo Tian hasn't sensed any movement yet, but it's hard to say what will happen next. If Luo Tian notices it, I will go against him directly, and the rest will be left to you. I can sense that Liu Xiaofeng should be imprisoned in the dungeon now, and there are six warriors who practice organ blood exchange to guard him. If there is a problem, Third Princess, you must rescue Liu Xiaofeng as soon as possible." Zhou Yun said after calmly sensing the remaining power in the Luo family mansion.

　　While making the arrangements, Zhou Yun was still sighing in his heart. Fortunately, he got the help of Li Wanqiu this time. Otherwise, Zhou Yun really would not be able to handle such a situation.

　　Luo Tian alone is difficult to deal with. If you want to rescue Liu Xiaofeng while dealing with Luo Tian, ​​and at the same time be wary of the threat from so many warriors in the Luo family who practice organ blood transfusion, it will be really difficult.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Wanqiu nodded and said, "Just tell me where Liu Xiaofeng is!"

　　"Okay, let's go." After giving Li Wanqiu a look of gratitude, Zhou Yun took the lead and quietly sneaked into the back garden of the Luo family mansion with Li Wanqiu.

　　Zhou Yun's spiritual perception is expanding in all directions, not just in one plane. Even if something is hidden underground, Zhou Yun can easily feel it.

　　Although the distance extended to the underground space is not as far as the flat ground, it is still no problem to reach one-tenth of the distance. Now Zhou Yun's spiritual perception can extend fifty miles on the flat ground, and extend underground to detect things within five miles. Therefore, the Luo family dungeon is no secret in front of Zhou Yun.

　　With Li Wanqiu, Zhou Yun quickly arrived at the location of the Luo family dungeon.

　　"Third Princess, the Luo family's dungeon is in front of us. There are also warriors passing by here. There are four warriors guarding the entrance of the dungeon, and there are also two warriors inside the dungeon. After you deal with the four warriors, open the door and go in to rescue Liu Xiaofeng. I will deal with the other patrolling warriors here. If Luo Tian notices, I will stop him directly. Third Princess, you just help me deal with the other warriors while protecting Xiaofeng." Looking at the entrance of the dungeon in the distance, Zhou Yun spoke slowly.

　　The Luo family's dungeon is under a pavilion in a small garden. The entrance is on the side of the pavilion. It is surrounded by lush flowers and trees and is inconspicuous. If it weren't for Zhou Yun's ability to sense and detect, it would not be so easy to discover such a dungeon.

　　If there was any noise and the two Luo family warriors in the dungeon noticed something was wrong, they would probably kill Liu Xiaofeng directly. In that case, this plan would be half-failed.

　　After lurking for a cup of tea, two teams of patrolling warriors passed by, and Zhou Yun finally nodded to Li Wanqiu.

　　After seeing Zhou Yun's signal, Li Wanqiu immediately took action. A white light flashed at his fingertips, and the sharp sword energy immediately rushed towards the four warriors guarding the dungeon.

　　Brush, brush, brush.

　　Then, four more streaks of blood burst out, and the four warriors immediately fell under Li Wanqiu's sword.

　　With figures flashing rapidly, Li Wanqiu and Zhou Yun had already rushed to the door of the dungeon entrance. Having already felt the structure of the dungeon door, Zhou Yun slashed with his right hand. Suddenly, a blade of energy shot out and cut off the lock of the dungeon door.

　　After opening the iron gate, Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu rushed into the dungeon together.

　　clang.

　　At this moment, a loud gong sound suddenly came out. Hearing this sound, Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu's faces changed immediately.

　　"We've been discovered, hurry up and save them." Zhou Yun shouted to Li Wanqiu beside him, and immediately rushed into the dungeon first.

　　Li Wanqiu also rushed into the dungeon right behind Zhou Yun. At this time, the two Luo family warriors in the dungeon were constantly rushing inward, wanting to directly kill Liu Xiaofeng who was imprisoned deep in the dungeon.

　　"Stay." Seeing the actions of the two warriors, Zhou Yun immediately shouted, and the gray sword energy in his hand shot out directly and caught up with the two warriors.

　　In the current situation, their whereabouts have been exposed. Next, they can only attack by force. Zhou Yun did not notice that the two warriors guarding the dungeon door were carrying a strange mechanism. As long as the mechanism was activated, the golden gong in the pavilion would immediately ring, which led to the exposure of the two of them.

　　However, being exposed at this time is not a big problem. Liu Xiaofeng has not been killed yet. With Li Wanqiu guarding him, there should be no problem. The only thing left is the battle between himself and Luo Tian.

　　Zhou Yun had already sensed it, and Luo Tian had also been alarmed at this time and had already arrived outside the dungeon.

　　Quickly opening the innermost iron cage, Zhou Yun saw Liu Xiaofeng who was still tightly tied up. After being tied up for such a long time, without food or water, Liu Xiaofeng was very weak at this moment, but his eyes were still full of determination.

　　The moment he saw Liu Xiaofeng, Zhou Yun knew that this thirteen-year-old boy had finally grown up after this incident.

　　"Xiaofeng, it's me." After walking in, Zhou Yun spoke to Liu Xiaofeng.

　　When Liu Xiaofeng heard Zhou Yun's voice, his eyes immediately turned red. Even though he was strong and growing, he was only a thirteen-year-old boy after all. Being able to hold on until now was already his limit. When he saw Zhou Yun coming to save him, Liu Xiaofeng's nerves immediately relaxed.

　　"Brother Zhou Yun, thank you. I misunderstood you at that time." Liu Xiaofeng lowered his head and spoke weakly.

　　Thinking back to what Zhou Yun had done for him and Liu Xiaohan, and thinking back to his initial attitude towards Zhou Yun, Liu Xiaofeng immediately felt ashamed.

　　"Let's not talk about this now. I'll take you out. You stay with this sister and don't move around, okay?" At this time, Li Wanqiu had already arrived outside the iron cage where Liu Xiaofeng was imprisoned and helped Liu Xiaofeng untie the ropes on his body. Zhou Yun spoke.

　　Looking at Li Wanqiu standing outside the iron cage in a black robe, although she was wearing a veil and black clothes, Liu Xiaofeng could still feel the noble aura from Li Wanqiu.

　　Nodding, Liu Xiaofeng said calmly, "Brother Zhou Yun, don't worry!"

　　Seeing that Liu Xiaofeng had agreed, Zhou Yun immediately handed him over to Li Wanqiu, and took out the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber from his space ring.

　　"Third Princess, Luo Tian taught me. The other warriors and Xiaofeng are all up to you." Looking at Li Wanqiu, Zhou Yun said.

　　"Don't worry." Li Wanqiu nodded and spoke calmly.

　　Everything has been arranged. Next comes the most difficult battle of this time on the Black Flame Continent. This is the first time in Zhou Yun's life that he will fight against a strong man who has surpassed the realm of Martial Saint.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun held the sword in his hand and walked out of the dungeon step by step.

　　Zhou Yun walked very slowly, and as he walked, his momentum was also rising step by step. This time, to accumulate his momentum, Zhou Yun used the method he summarized when he first practiced Tiger Fist.

　　As Zhou Yun walked slowly, the huge and powerful true energy began to run rapidly in Zhou Yun's body. With every step he took, Zhou Yun's momentum accumulated.

　　When Zhou Yun walked out of the dungeon, all the Luo family warriors who had surrounded him were so overwhelmed by Zhou Yun's aura that they could not help but retreat.

　　Among the crowd, only Luo Tian stood still, not affected by Zhou Yun's aura at all.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun in a black robe, Luo Tian's face instantly turned cold.

　　"You come to rob people, which means that my Chen'er has been killed by you." Looking at Zhou Yun, Luo Tian spoke word by word.

　　The war is about to begin.

　　Chapter 190: Decisive Battle with Luo Tian

　　Although Zhou Yun had already sensed the angry aura from Luo Tian, ​​he was not panicked. Before his cultivation had broken through, Zhou Yun had a slight advantage over Luo Tian in their duels. Although Luo Tian did not use his full strength at that time, in Zhou Yun's opinion, he could not have held back too much.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had already broken through to the realm of Yijing Marrow Cleansing. When fighting against Luo Tian, ​​Zhou Yun was full of confidence in this battle.

　　With a smile on his face, Zhou Yun said, "I really don't like Luo Chen. He bullies men and women, and he deserves death. As for you, I won't let you go either."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Luo Tian's face immediately showed a ferocious look. Originally, he valued Zhou Yun's so-called identity as the prince of Liuyun Kingdom and didn't want to make things too awkward with Zhou Yun, but now, all this is no longer a problem.

　　Since Zhou Yun wants his life, even if Zhou Yun has a noble status, Luo Tian has no choice but to fight.

　　The aura on his body became increasingly cold. Luo Tian stared at Zhou Yun and spoke slowly, "Do you think that with your cultivation level, you are really capable of fighting me?"

　　As he spoke, Luo Tian's aura quietly changed, and thick green mist rose above his body. Seeing the mist, Zhou Yun knew that Luo Tian was probably going to use the poisonous martial arts he used that day again.

　　Zhou Yun didn't care much about the poison gas. He had the Boundary Crystal in his hand, so no matter how strong the poison was, it couldn't do anything to him.

　　As Luo Tian practiced his skills, Zhou Yun also slowly raised the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber in his hand. At this moment, only one of their swords was tense. Their momentum was constantly accumulating. As long as the balance was broken, there would be an earth-shaking battle!

　　"kill!"

　　Finally, several warriors from the Luo family couldn't help but rush forward first, which finally triggered the battle between Zhou Yun and Luo Tian.

　　“Get lost!”

　　With an angry roar, Zhou Yun's true energy suddenly shook. Immediately, powerful waves of true energy spread out with Zhou Yun as the center, shaking all the warriors who rushed up away one by one.

　　"Kill!" These warriors did not affect Zhou Yun's rhythm at all. His momentum had already risen, and the steel knife in Zhou Yun's hand chopped towards Luo Tian fiercely.

　　"Five Poison Palms!" Zhou Yun moved, and Luo Tian also started at the same time. A pair of silver iron palms emitting a bright green light pushed directly towards Zhou Yun.

　　The green true energy met Zhou Yun's sword energy in mid-air, and suddenly, a violent explosion was heard.

　　Boom!

　　After the collision, Zhou Yun immediately retreated three steps, while Luo Tian retreated seven or eight steps before he stabilized his body. This move actually put Luo Tian at a disadvantage!

　　"This kid's true strength is so terrifying. I am one level higher than him, but my true strength is not as good as his!" Looking at Zhou Yun standing there with a look full of fighting spirit, Luo Tian couldn't help but be surprised.

　　Although Liu Xiaofeng threatened him at that time by saying that Zhou Yun had a cultivation level beyond that of a Martial Saint, it seemed from the current battle that Zhou Yun had only just entered the realm of a Martial Saint. But even so, Zhou Yun's true strength was already far greater than his.

　　In that fight just now, he was really defeated.

　　"How about it, do you still think I'm not good enough to fight you?" Looking at Luo Tian, ​​Zhou Yun asked as he walked slowly forward. During a battle, if you can undermine the opponent's confidence, this is also a must.

　　Anger flashed across his face, and Luo Tian snorted coldly, "Hmph! Don't think that just because your true strength is a little bit unique, you can challenge a higher level opponent! I admit that you have the ability to fight me, but that doesn't mean you can defeat me!"

　　As he spoke, Luo Tian's aura rose again.

　　"You're just being stubborn!" Zhou Yun responded with a cold snort and rushed forward with a knife!

　　boom!

　　Just after taking a step forward, Zhou Yun immediately felt a powerful force emerging from under his feet. Feeling threatened by this force, Zhou Yun immediately took a step back!

　　puff!

　　Then, a green light rose directly from under Zhou Yun's feet. If Zhou Yun hadn't been sensitive, he would have been hit!

　　After dodging the attack, Zhou Yun's forward momentum also stopped. Looking ahead, he saw that Luo Tian's body was now covered with green dark light, and in the dark light, dots of white light began to shine continuously, appearing extremely mysterious!

　　"Hahaha, Zhou Yun, you are too arrogant. With your level of cultivation, if we fight somewhere else, maybe I really am not your opponent. But you actually dared to run to my mansion! You are courting death! I have the help of the Five Poison Formation, and you still want to escape unscathed!" At this moment, the area within a hundred meters around Luo Tian was actually shrouded in a layer of invisible power. Waves of green aura surrounded them, carrying a highly toxic nature, constantly eroding the lives of all people within the range!

　　All the warriors of the Luo family who were within a hundred meters of Luo Tian were poisoned to death indiscriminately at this time!

　　At this time, even Zhou Yun himself felt a little dizzy. He hurriedly took out the boundary crystal and held it in his hand. Only then did Zhou Yun feel a little better.

　　"Prepare to die!" With a flash of cold light in his eyes, Zhou Yun rushed directly towards Luo Tian. Facing Luo Tian rushing towards him, Zhou Yun's eyes actually flashed with a look of worry.

　　He was not worried about himself, but about Li Wanqiu and Liu Xiaofeng. The Five Poison Formation was ineffective against him, but it was hard to say for Li Wanqiu and Liu Xiaofeng, especially Liu Xiaofeng!

　　If Liu Xiaofeng were to be poisoned by such a powerful poison, he would most likely not be able to be saved!

　　Now, we can only fight quickly!

　　“Help me!”

　　With a loud roar, Zhou Yun rushed forward! Zhou Yun shouted this for Li Wanqiu to hear. Under such circumstances, Zhou Yun did not want to consider any bets. Three hundred black flame crystals were far less important than Liu Xiaofeng's life.

　　During the impact, Zhou Yun maintained his spiritual perception within a range of one hundred meters, but the intensity and sensitivity of the perception increased by several levels. Now Zhou Yun can clearly feel every change within a range of one hundred meters!

　　Puff! Puff! Puff!

　　Green poisonous light continued to rise, but Zhou Yun's momentum to charge forward was still fierce. Zhou Yun could actually detect these poisonous attacks in advance and dodge them!

　　Seeing Zhou Yun rushing towards him so quickly, a hint of horror appeared in Luo Tian's eyes!

　　But Zhou Yun did not give him time to react and rushed in front of him in an instant!

　　"Cut!" Zhou Yun swung the sword in his hand horizontally and chopped directly at Luo Tian's neck!

　　Luo Tian tried hard to lower his body and narrowly avoided Zhou Yun's sword. He then immediately swung his palm to fight with Zhou Yun.

　　The sword and the palm kept colliding, and suddenly, a series of ding-dong sounds came out, with a few sparks in the middle.

　　Luo Tian was wearing silver gloves on both hands. The gloves were extremely strong and could actually withstand the power of Zhou Yun's sword. Moreover, the gloves were more flexible than any other weapons. For a moment, Zhou Yun had no way to defeat Luo Tian quickly!

　　Outside, Zhou Yun and Luo Tian were fighting quickly, and in the dungeon, the poisonous gas had already spread in. Sensing the poisonous gas, Li Wanqiu's face changed immediately.

　　"Stand here and don't move. If poisonous gas comes in, hold your breath!" In an instant, Li Wanqiu had made a decision. She had just heard Zhou Yun calling her, but she couldn't go out until she figured out how to ensure that Liu Xiaofeng would not be poisoned.

　　"Okay!" Although he was weak, Liu Xiaofeng was aware of the current crisis when he saw the green poisonous gas spreading in from the dungeon entrance!

　　After realizing the crisis, Liu Xiaofeng, who was already very weak, showed determination again in his eyes.

　　Looking at Liu Xiaofeng, whose spirit and energy changed in an instant, Li Wanqiu couldn't help but feel a little admiration for this thirteen-year-old child.

　　With a wave of his right hand, Li Wanqiu raised it directly towards Liu Xiaofeng, and suddenly, a transparent shield of true energy enveloped Liu Xiaofeng.

　　"This protective barrier can block some of the poison gas, but it may not be completely effective. Remember, if you feel something is wrong, immediately try your best to hold your breath." After setting up the protective barrier, Li Wanqiu gave instructions again.

　　This time, Liu Xiaofeng did not say anything, but pursed his lips tightly and nodded vigorously.

　　Seeing that Liu Xiaofeng was ready, Li Wanqiu immediately turned around and walked towards the exit of the dungeon.

　　now.

　　In the Five Poison Formation, the poison gas spread more and more, and Zhou Yun couldn't help but become more anxious. If this continued, Li Wanqiu and Liu Xiaofeng might not be able to hold on for much longer!

　　puff!

　　Just when Zhou Yun was feeling anxious, he heard the sound of clothes being torn, and then a sharp pain immediately struck Zhou Yun's body!

　　"Hmm!" With a muffled groan, Zhou Yun took three steps back and stared at Luo Tian closely! He had just relaxed, but Luo Tian had seized the opportunity!

　　Seeing Zhou Yun injured, Luo Tian immediately burst into laughter, "Zhou Yun, you killed my son, I will take your life today!"

　　After laughing wildly, Luo Tian once again approached and pounced on Zhou Yun.

　　"You think too much!" As soon as Luo Tian moved, a cold voice came out immediately.

　　Then, a dazzling sword light shot out from the dungeon and headed straight for Luo Tian's throat!

　　Luo Tian was originally charging forward, but was attacked by this sword light, and his face changed drastically!

　　The true force carried by this sword light is extremely powerful, and its speed is so fast that there is no time to dodge!

　　In a hurry, Luo Tian could only raise his hand to block!

　　"Opportunity!" Zhou Yun's eyes immediately lit up when he saw Luo Tian's defensive action.

　　Luo Tian raised his hands to block the attack, so his middle path was naturally completely exposed! Ignoring the poisonous gas around him, Zhou Yun directly gathered his strongest strength and swung the sword in his hand horizontally!

　　Suddenly, a violent sword energy swept towards Luo Tian!

　　block!

　　At this time, the sword light from Li Wanqiu hit Luo Tian's arms that were crossed at his neck. The powerful force directly shocked Luo Tian and made him retreat three steps! At this time, Zhou Yun's sword energy was already close to his body!

　　The old strength is gone and the new strength has not yet been generated. Luo Tian can no longer block Zhou Yun's sword energy!

　　"No!!!" His eyes widened in an instant, and Luo Tian shouted in grief and anger, but this shout could not change anything.

　　brush!

　　The knife flashed, and Luo Tian was cut into two pieces by Zhou Yun's attack!

　　puff!

　　At this moment, a poisonous attack came out from under Li Wanqiu's body and hit him instantly!

　　"Third Princess!" Zhou Yun screamed immediately when he saw Li Wanqiu being hit!

　　Chapter 191: Decisive Measures

　　As the ruler of the Northern Princes Alliance for nearly thirty years, Na Luotian was naturally a ruthless character. The reason why he failed so quickly this time and was even killed by Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu was because he did not notice Li Wanqiu's existence.

　　If it weren't for the Five Poison Formation, with his cultivation level having just broken through to the peak of Martial Saint and his unstable foundation, he would be inferior to Zhou Yun. It was only with the addition of the Five Poison Formation that Luo Tian was able to fight Zhou Yun.

　　But this only means that Luo Tian can hold out for a little longer under Zhou Yun's attack. If Zhou Yun was not worried about Liu Xiaofeng, Luo Tian would not be able to hurt Zhou Yun at all.

　　However, if Li Wanqiu were added to such a battle, and it was a sneak attack, then the result would be no surprise.

　　But even if he failed, Luo Tian would never let Zhou Yun have an easy time. The entire Five Poison Formation was under Luo Tian's control. Although he was cut into two pieces by Zhou Yun's sword, he did not die immediately.

　　While his body was flying in the air, Luo Tian still had time to make his final attack, and it was this final attack from Luo Tian that put Li Wanqiu in danger.

　　"Third Princess, how do you feel!?" Seeing Li Wanqiu being hit by the poisonous gas emitted by the Five Poison Formation controlled by Luo Tian, ​​Zhou Yun immediately ran over, helped Li Wanqiu up from the ground, and let her lean on his shoulder.

　　At this moment, a hint of green light appeared on Li Wanqiu's face. Obviously, the poison in the Five Poison Formation was extremely powerful.

　　With a gentle breath, Li Wanqiu said slowly, "I will be fine for the time being. You should go check on Xiaofeng as soon as possible. I wonder if he can hold on."

　　Speaking of this, a hint of worry flashed across Li Wanqiu's eyebrows.

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Zhou Yun immediately thought of Liu Xiaofeng, whose situation might be more dangerous than Li Wanqiu. Liu Xiaofeng was almost without any cultivation now. Under the Five Poison Formation, so many of the Luo family's warriors who practiced blood exchange died directly. Could Liu Xiaofeng survive?

　　Now, Zhou Yun must hurry down to check on Liu Xiaofeng's condition, but Li Wanqiu has also been poisoned and cannot be ignored.

　　After thinking for a while, Zhou Yun's eyes flashed with determination, "Third Princess, I'm sorry."

　　After apologizing, Zhou Yun pulled Li Wanqiu onto his back, held Li Wanqiu's knees with both hands, and ran straight into the dungeon.

　　Li Wanqiu couldn't help but let out a slight cry when Zhou Yun carried her on his back. This was something she had never experienced in her life.

　　Lying on Zhou Yun, feeling the breath that she had never felt up close before, Li Wanqiu's heart couldn't help but feel a little confused.

　　Before she had time to think, Zhou Yun had already led her into the dungeon.

　　At this moment, Liu Xiaofeng had also arrived there, unconscious.

　　Zhou Yun frowned slightly and immediately ran over and grabbed Liu Xiaofeng's wrist. Suddenly, a stream of pure energy flowed into Liu Xiaofeng's body, helping him to temporarily suppress the poison.

　　Zhou Yun picked up Liu Xiaofeng from the ground, and a powerful lightning force immediately rose around him. Suddenly, a light shield appeared and wrapped Liu Xiaofeng, Li Wanqiu and Zhou Yun himself together.

　　Carrying the weight of two people, Zhou Yun actually ran straight into the Luo family dungeon and did not go out from the dungeon exit. The exit of the Luo family dungeon was the core area of ​​the Five Poisons Formation. Although Luo Tian was dead, the poison gas did not completely dissipate for a while. If he went from there, I am afraid that Liu Xiaofeng and Li Wanqiu would be in greater danger.

　　Near the core of the Luo family dungeon, the Thousand Hammer Iron Saber appeared in Zhou Yun's hand again. Standing there, Zhou Yun suddenly exerted his strength and slashed at the ceiling above the dungeon. Suddenly, an extremely powerful gray saber energy rushed up directly.

　　"Break it for me!"

　　Boom boom boom!

　　Along with Zhou Yun's roar, the terrifying sword energy actually penetrated four or five meters of soil and cut the entire dungeon in half.

　　Suddenly, the starry sky outside the dungeon appeared in Zhou Yun's sight.

　　The crack created by the knife was more than three meters wide, enough for Zhou Yun to jump out with Li Wanqiu and Liu Xiaofeng.

　　Using the strength of his legs, Zhou Yun leaped out of the dungeon with Li Wanqiu and Liu Xiaofeng.

　　Zhou Yun’s jump was so powerful that after escaping from the dungeon, he rose straight to a height of more than 20 meters!

　　Suddenly, the entire Luo family mansion came into Zhou Yun's sight. Looking down from the sky, Zhou Yun immediately discovered that some of the remaining black-clothed warriors of the Luo family were actually escaping quickly at this moment.

　　"Stay here!" With a flash of cold light in his eyes, Zhou Yun swung the sword in his hand vigorously again. Suddenly, a ray of sword light rushed over a distance of hundreds of meters and instantly killed the two Luo family warriors who had escaped the farthest!

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's shocking sword strike, all the Luo family warriors stopped immediately!

　　The two Luo family warriors who ran the farthest couldn't escape, so how could they possibly run away now?

　　"Come back, everyone, and stand in two rows in front of me!" After killing the two warriors and stopping their escape, Zhou Yun also floated to the ground, put Liu Xiaofeng and Li Wanqiu on the ground, and after posing them with their five hearts facing the sky, Zhou Yun gave the order again.

　　At this moment, all the warriors of the Luo family did not dare to move rashly. Zhou Yun’s power was too strong and had already shocked them deeply.

　　In their eyes, the extremely powerful Luo Tian had already died under Zhou Yun's knife, and now his corpse was still thrown there casually. Resisting Zhou Yun at this time would be tantamount to seeking death.

　　A group of warriors looked at each other, then walked slowly to Zhou Yun with some fear and stood in two teams.

　　Looking at this group of warriors, Zhou Yun's eyes slowly swept over each of them, "Very good, as long as you are obedient and willing to do your best to be loyal, I will never embarrass you. But if you dare to take chances and pretend to obey, then..."

　　The words suddenly paused, and Zhou Yun swung the steel knife in his hand vigorously again!

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's sudden action, all the Luo family warriors couldn't help but tremble. Some timid warriors even covered their faces with their hands!

　　"ah!!"

　　It was not until a scream was heard in the distance that these Luo family warriors realized that the target of Zhou Yun's attack was not them, but a Luo family warrior who was in Zhou Yun's blind spot and was moving carefully little by little in an attempt to sneak away.

　　The warrior had already escaped beyond the range of a hundred meters and was about to ascend to heaven, but he was still killed directly by Zhou Yun's sword, which broke through the several layers of obstacles in the middle.

　　The Luo family warriors didn't even know how Zhou Yun found the warrior who wanted to escape, but that didn't stop them from being deeply shocked.

　　"We are willing to pledge our loyalty to you, sir!" Seeing Zhou Yun's incredible attack, the last bit of hope in the hearts of the Luo family warriors disappeared. In an instant, all the warriors knelt on the ground in an orderly manner and loudly pledged their loyalty to Zhou Yun.

　　"Yeah." Zhou Yun nodded slightly, then sat down, spread his hands and held the hands of Liu Xiaofeng and Li Wanqiu respectively.

　　"I am going to heal their wounds now. You just sit here quietly and protect me." Zhou Yun exhaled lightly, evened his breathing, and calmed his agitated emotions, then gave instructions to the Luo family warriors.

　　"Yes!" They responded in unison again. All the Luo family warriors sat down and defended quietly.

　　The most pressing troubles were solved, and Zhou Yun finally felt relieved. In fact, it was also very important and urgent to heal Li Wanqiu and Liu Xiaofeng at this time, but Zhou Yun knew that if any of these Luo family warriors escaped, with their cultivation of internal organs and blood exchange, they would definitely not be able to resist the current Liu family. Luo Tian had already solved it. If he left the Black Flame Continent and let the Liu family be overthrown by a small Luo family warrior, Zhou Yun would probably really make a big mistake.

　　Now, although Zhou Yun has not yet finally confirmed that these warriors have all surrendered willingly, at least on the surface they have stopped resisting. Now there are still three days before returning to the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun has plenty of ways to completely control these warriors.

　　Keeping himself calm, Zhou Yun began to truly connect his meridians with those of Li Wanqiu and Liu Xiaofeng. Suddenly, streams of poisonous gas were inhaled into Zhou Yun's body, and then dissolved by the world crystal.

　　Luo Tian's Five Poisons Array was created using toxins extracted from the five most vicious and cruel poisonous insects. Although the toxicity was extremely strong, it was not as strange and difficult to resolve as the Soul-Locking Incense. After an hour of absorption and transformation, finally, all the toxins in Li Wanqiu and Liu Xiaofeng were completely eliminated by Zhou Yun.

　　"call!"

　　Straightening his body, Li Wanqiu on Zhou Yun's left finally let out a long breath. All the toxins in his body had been dissolved by Zhou Yun, and Li Wanqiu had recovered as before.

　　Turning around, Li Wanqiu looked at Zhou Yun with her watery eyes and actually smiled for the first time. Although the smile was a little awkward, the kindness in it could be clearly expressed.

　　"Zhou Yun, thank you for this time. We'll talk about our bet in detail when we get back." It was the first time that Li Wanqiu smiled at Zhou Yun, or rather, it was the first time that she smiled at a man in a long time. A blush appeared on Li Wanqiu's face, which was extremely touching.

　　Facing Li Wanqiu in such a state, Zhou Yun knew that it would be inappropriate for him to say any more polite words.

　　With a smile and a nod, Zhou Yun handed Liu Xiaofeng, who had fallen into a coma after the poison had been cleared, to Li Wanqiu.

　　"Third Princess, please take care of Xiaofeng. I need to find some things here." Although Luo Tian was dead and the warriors of the Luo family had been subdued, things were not over yet.

　　Luo Tian was able to dominate the northern alliance of princes on the Black Flame Continent for thirty years, especially controlling the Mirror Lake Secret Realm for thirty years. The treasures in his mansion were undoubtedly extremely rich. Zhou Yun naturally would not leave these things behind.

　　"Okay, go ahead." Knowing what Zhou Yun meant by 'find some things' and not thinking of competing with Zhou Yun for these things, Li Wanqiu took over Liu Xiaofeng and nodded calmly.

　　She also knew that if there was any treasure that was really useful to her, Zhou Yun would definitely not keep it all to himself.

　　After spending some time together, although they didn't communicate much, Li Wanqiu had already gotten to know Zhou Yun very well and trusted him very much.

　　After getting Li Wanqiu's reply, Zhou Yun immediately stood up and walked towards the main house of the Luo family mansion. With his spiritual sense released, Zhou Yun had already sensed that there was a hidden secret space under the main house of the Luo family mansion.

　　Presumably, all the treasures that Luo Tian had collected over the years must be gathered in that place.

　　Although Zhou Yun had left, all the Luo family warriors still dared not move, because sitting in front of them was Li Wanqiu, who had obviously recovered his strength.

　　Chapter 192 Distribution

　　Following his own induction, Zhou Yun walked directly through the hall and came to the back hall of the main house of the Luo family mansion. The spiritual detection allowed Zhou Yun to determine that the secret room hidden deep in the basement of the main house was entered from the back hall.

　　This back hall should be considered as where Luo Tian lives. The layout of the back hall is extremely exquisite and gorgeous, but this exquisiteness and splendor is also a bit complicated, making it seem too luxurious.

　　Although the back hall is large, there seem to be too many things placed there, including desks, chairs, screens, calligraphy and paintings, flower baskets, bookshelves and other things. Zhou Yun could tell at a glance that Luo Tian's arrangement was obviously to cover up something.

　　"It seems that this arrangement should be used to guard against some warriors in the mansion. I'm afraid Fang Yan is also the target of his defense. However, these things are useless in front of me." With a sneer on his lips, Zhou Yun spoke slowly.

　　After taking two steps forward, Zhou Yun swung his sword directly towards the mahogany desk in the deepest part of the back hall.

　　Click!

　　As the knife flashed, there was a crisp sound, and the mahogany desk was directly split in half by Zhou Yun's knife! However, Zhou Yun's target was not the desk, but something hidden under the desk.

　　Walking over to check, Zhou Yun immediately discovered that there was indeed a deep passage under the desk.

　　"It seems that this is Luo Tian's lair." Zhou Yun muttered to himself and slowly walked into the deep passage.

　　He clenched his left fist, and a layer of lightning immediately appeared on Zhou Yun's body. Suddenly, a crackling sound of electricity was heard, and the blue halo it brought made the originally dark passage exceptionally bright.

　　Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

　　Suddenly, a dense stream of arrows shot out from the secret compartments on both sides of the wall and headed straight for Zhou Yun.

　　But faced with such a small hidden weapon, Zhou Yun was not moved at all.

　　Zhou Yun had already anticipated that there were mechanisms in this passage, and as soon as the arrows were shot out, Zhou Yun had already judged that these arrows could not break through the lightning shield on his body.

　　Sure enough, a burst of dense buzzing sounds were heard, and those arrows were directly destroyed by the lightning shield on Zhou Yun's body.

　　Walking straight downwards, Zhou Yun encountered several attacks from hidden weapons along the way, but the hidden weapons in the passage no longer posed any threat to him.

　　Soon, the end of the passage appeared in front of Zhou Yun. An iron door appeared at the end of the passage and was tightly closed.

　　Seeing the iron door, Zhou Yun showed a pensive expression on his face. He had already felt that Luo Tian’s secret room was behind this iron door. If he broke the iron door forcibly, the treasures stored inside might be damaged. Therefore, he had to think of a good way before taking action.

　　"This is the only way. Look at this door, and then estimate how much strength is needed, and then exert force accurately." Looking at the black lock on the iron door, Zhou Yun said silently.

　　Taking two steps forward, Zhou Yun placed his hand on the door lock and began to estimate how much force would be needed to break the door lock.

　　"Hmm!?" Just as Zhou Yun was carefully sensing, a stinging sensation suddenly came over him, and Zhou Yun's left hand, which was gently stroking the iron gate, also felt a burning sensation.

　　Feeling the pain, Zhou Yun knew that Luo Tian must have put a deadly poison on the iron door, especially the door lock.

　　"This Luo Tian is really calculating!" At this moment, the boundary crystal was still held in Zhou Yun's right hand. Such a poison naturally could not do anything to Zhou Yun. With a cold snort, Zhou Yun directly swung the sword. A gray light flashed, sparks flew, and the lock on the iron door had been broken by Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun had already felt the structure of the iron lock just now. This knife was just right. It just broke the door lock, but no force was transmitted inside.

　　The door lock was broken, and now there was nothing that could stop Zhou Yun.

　　Pushing the iron door open, Zhou Yun walked into the secret treasure room where Luo Tian had accumulated treasures for thirty years!

　　Even though he had made some preparations, when Zhou Yun saw the things in the secret room, he couldn't help but be amazed.

　　“How many treasures did Luo Tian collect!” Although the secret room in front of him was not big, only about thirty square meters, it was filled with items!

　　Along the wall, gold bricks were neatly stacked, more than five feet wide and three meters high. Moreover, all four walls of the secret room were stacked with such gold bricks! A rough calculation showed that there were more than 100,000 taels of gold!

　　In addition to the gold bricks, there are also linear secret books neatly arranged on a bookshelf in the center of the secret room. The density is extremely high. At a glance, there are actually hundreds of books!

　　Moreover, all these secret books were arranged in different categories, including body movement, alchemy, martial arts, and a large number of books on methods of using poison. Among them, Luo Tian's own practice of the Five Poison Palm and the Five Poison Formation were clearly among them.

　　Various weapons were placed on the second row of shelves. Each weapon was shining with a golden light, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary items!

　　The most important thing is that in the core position of the secret room, there is a box made of pure gold. Before opening the box, Zhou Yun could already feel that the box was filled with Black Flame Crystals, there were more than two hundred of them!

　　Fortunately, Zhou Yun encountered the nine-headed snake demon in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm and obtained several thousand Black Flame Crystals at once. Otherwise, these more than two hundred Black Flame Crystals alone would probably drive Zhou Yun crazy!

　　"Let me collect these ill-gotten gains for you!" With a cold expression, Zhou Yun waved his hand and directly put all the treasures in the secret room into the space ring.

　　Originally, Zhou Yun was worried that he would not be able to use up so many space rings seized at once in the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　However, as Zhou Yun's cultivation level continued to improve, his opponents became increasingly powerful, and the amount of loot he seized increased, these space rings gradually came in handy.

　　Although there are many treasures in Luo Tian's secret room, Zhou Yun is not worried about not being able to put them all. After all, a dozen space rings represent a dozen spaces. When one ring is full and placed in another ring, the space it occupies is extremely small and can be almost ignored.

　　After taking away all the wealth and treasures that Luo Tian had accumulated over the past thirty years, Zhou Yun returned along the original route to where Li Wanqiu was.

　　The warriors of the Luo family were still sitting there obediently, not moving a muscle, while Li Wanqiu supported Liu Xiaofeng and sat quietly opposite those warriors.

　　"Third Princess, it's done." Zhou Yun said as he walked to Li Wanqiu's side.

　　Li Wanqiu nodded, her expression did not change. She did not particularly care about the treasures collected by Luo Tian. Now she wanted to return. "Zhou Yun, it's time for us to go back. Let's send Xiaofeng back first."

　　"Okay." After hearing Li Wanqiu's words, Zhou Yun responded silently.

　　Turning around, Zhou Yun instructed the Luo family warriors in front of him, "Go prepare a carriage. We are going to rush back to Baiyue City immediately. All of you should go with us. From now on, you will stay in Baiyue City and serve the Liu family. Baiyue City is a friend of our Liuyun Kingdom's royal family. As long as you can serve Baiyue City wholeheartedly, you will definitely get benefits."

　　"I obey your order." Although the gap was huge as they fell from the powerful Luo family to the dilapidated Liu family, these warriors no longer had any bargaining power and could only nod and agree.

　　But there was actually nothing wrong with this matter. In the eyes of these Luo family warriors, Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu, who was sitting there in a black robe and was called the "third princess" by Zhou Yun, were obviously from Liuyun Country.

　　Moreover, they are the royal family. The power and mystery of Liuyun Country are beyond doubt. The Liu family can be taken care of by Liuyun Country, and they will surely prosper in the future.

　　From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with following the Liu family. At least, if they agree, their lives can still be saved. If they have other ideas, I am afraid Zhou Yun will not keep them at all.

　　"Well, let's get ready." Seeing the Luo family warriors answered firmly, Zhou Yun nodded with satisfaction.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun gave the order, several clever warriors immediately moved out an extremely luxurious carriage that needed two horses to pull it. Looking at the luxury of the carriage, Zhou Yun knew that this must have been Luo Tian's own vehicle.

　　It seems that these Luo family warriors really spared no effort to please me.

　　"Third Princess, please get in." The carriage had already been brought over, and Zhou Yun immediately invited Li Wanqiu.

　　"Yes." Nodding, Li Wanqiu took Liu Xiaofeng, who was still in a coma, into the carriage, and Zhou Yun followed.

　　Then, two warriors from the Luo family drove the carriage themselves, and the rest of the warriors lined up and followed the carriage. A mighty group of people rushed towards Baiyue City.

　　Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu sat opposite each other in the luxurious carriage. Liu Xiaofeng was still in a coma due to his low level of cultivation.

　　"Third Princess, Luo Tian has accumulated a lot of treasures over the years. I took a rough look and found many martial arts, martial arts secrets, poison secrets, weapons, hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, and two hundred black flame crystals." Without hiding anything, Zhou Yun directly told Li Wanqiu the number of treasures he had obtained this time.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Wanqiu nodded calmly, looked at Zhou Yun, and said, "I don't lack other things. Forget about the 300 Black Flame Crystals that were originally agreed upon. Although I took action this time, you also saved me once in the end. This bet is invalid. Give me half of the Black Flame Crystals you got from Luo Tian, ​​100. In addition, give me the gold as well."

　　Zhou Yun showed a look of astonishment on his face and couldn't help asking, "Third Princess, what are you going to do with all this gold? Are you still short of money? Originally, I wanted to use this gold for military expenses."

　　This time, Zhou Yun was sure that he would be the first in the Shenwei training camp. After entering the army, his rank would definitely not be a centurion, but at least a lieutenant general. The standard number of people a lieutenant general commanded was 5,000, but this was only the standard number. According to Zhou Yun, many lieutenants actually commanded 30,000 to 40,000 people, and the extra soldiers would not be paid by the Weaving Dynasty.

　　If you want to expand your power, you must have money. Therefore, this gold is also extremely important to Zhou Yun.

　　In Zhou Yun's opinion, it was understandable what Li Wanqiu wanted, weapons, secret books, and black flame crystals were all good. But the only thing she shouldn't ask for was money. As a princess of the royal family, if there were some rare items among those secret books and weapons, maybe Li Wanqiu would be interested, but now what Li Wanqiu wanted was gold!

　　And he wanted all of it. Zhou Yun really couldn't understand what Li Wanqiu wanted the money for.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun calmly, Li Wanqiu slowly said, "I want this gold to support my brother. Compared with the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, he is the one who needs money the most."

　　After Li Wanqiu said this, Zhou Yun immediately understood that in the battle for the throne, in addition to one's own strength, cultivating one's own power is probably the most important thing. The Eighth Prince is now at a disadvantage in the battle for the throne, probably to a large extent because of the lack of financial resources.

　　Although these hundreds of thousands of taels of gold were extremely precious to Zhou Yun, with them, Zhou Yun would not have to worry about military expenses at all. But this was Li Wanqiu's request, and Zhou Yun would not refuse it anyway.

　　With a wave of his hand, Zhou Yun took out the space ring containing all the gold, put four hundred black flame crystals into it, and handed it to Li Wanqiu.

　　"Third Princess, this is all the gold, and four hundred Black Flame Crystals. You have really helped me a lot this time, so please don't refuse." Zhou Yun said, placing the ring in front of Li Wanqiu.

　　Li Wanqiu looked at Zhou Yun with eyes as calm and clear as a cold pond. She pursed her lips and finally showed a look of relief on her face. "I will give you one-fifth of the gold after I return. You are really reliable."

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Zhou Yun didn't know how to respond and could only smile.

　　The distribution of the money seized from Luo Tian had already been decided, and the two stopped chatting and focused their attention, entering a state of cultivation.

　　Zhou Yun quietly took out the boundary crystal and separated a trace of his consciousness to enter the boundary crystal space. Now, Zhou Yun still had some things he wanted to ask the nine-headed snake demon for help.

　　Chapter 193: Heavenly Spiritual Vein, Charge into Spiritual Points!

　　Sitting cross-legged there, Zhou Yun separated a trace of his consciousness and entered the crystal boundary space. Suddenly, the condensed body of Zhou Yun in the crystal boundary space stood up from the inky world.

　　Looking up, the giant tree was still there. After a few days, the tree seemed to have grown a little bit bigger than before and became more luxuriant.

　　After stretching his body a little, Zhou Yun slowly walked to the giant tree and said, "Senior, I, Zhou Yun, have something important to ask you. Please show yourself."

　　It had been a long time since Zhou Yun finished speaking, and the inky earth finally trembled slightly. However, this time, the true body of the nine-headed snake demon did not appear. Instead, a voice came from the giant tree.

　　"What's the matter?" The voice coming from the giant tree was old and distant, and also had a bit of evil and dark aura. It was the voice of the nine-headed snake demon.

　　"Senior, I have fused a black flame crystal according to your instructions, and my cultivation has successfully broken through to the Martial Saint realm. Thank you for your guidance." Zhou Yun expressed his gratitude while slightly clasping his fists towards the giant tree.

　　In this matter, Zhou Yun still has to thank the Hydra Demon. His guidance did bring Zhou Yun a lot of benefits.

　　"Well, you have this Chaos Crystal. Through daily fusion and cultivation, your physique has been constantly changing, and your talent has become stronger and stronger. I have also felt your strength. The effect you have achieved by using the Black Flame Crystal at this moment is better than I expected. After you stabilize in the Martial Saint realm and the strength of your true power has been increasing for a period of time, I will continue to guide you in the next step of cultivation." After hearing Zhou Yun's thanks, the voice of the Hydra demon came out again.

　　"Thank you, senior." Zhou Yun bowed respectfully to the giant tree and spoke sincerely.

　　Zhou Yun had great respect for the Hydra demon in his heart, but this respect did not mean that Zhou Yun was stupid. Before he was sure that letting the Hydra demon go would not threaten his own safety, Zhou Yun would not let him go no matter what.

　　But Zhou Yun will also continue to work hard to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible. In this way, perhaps the Hydra Demon can escape from him earlier.

　　The Hydra Demon was an ancient beast with incomparable power. It had existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Whether it was cultivation, status, or even spirit, it was unparalleled. Zhou Yun did not expect to recruit such a beast under his command, but he still had to get the guidance of the Hydra Demon and grow as fast as possible.

　　"Senior, I have something I would like to ask for your help." After expressing his gratitude, Zhou Yun spoke respectfully again.

　　"Well, go ahead." After a moment of silence, the Hydra's voice came out again. This time, every time Zhou Yun asked a question, the Hydra had to wait a long time before responding.

　　Guessing that the Hydra was probably practicing, Zhou Yun didn't waste time and spoke directly, "Senior, I want to control some warriors so that they won't rebel. Do you have any ideas?"

　　"Hehehe, there are so many spiritual poisons in this Chaos Crystal, and you are asking me about such a thing?" After a moment, the Hydra Demon's words came out again with a hint of sneer.

　　Spiritual poison?

　　Zhou Yun showed a bewildered expression on his face, not quite understanding what was going on. "Please explain clearly, Senior."

　　"You can find it if you go around the big tree and walk straight ahead for fifty miles. After finding those spiritual poisons, you just need to use all your strength to impact the Chongling point on the top of the index finger of your right hand in the Tianling meridian in your body to achieve the effect of linking the Chongling point with the Chaos Crystal. Then you can use those poisons to control the person you want to control. The controlled person will not have an attack within three years, and his cultivation will not be able to improve. After three years, if the poison cannot be detoxified, he will die suddenly." This time, Zhou Yun waited longer. After about a minute, the voice of the Hydra demon came out.

　　After saying this, the ground beneath Zhou Yun's feet began to tremble again. After a moment, the earth returned to calm. Zhou Yun could no longer feel the presence of the Hydra demon.

　　It seems that the Hydra Demon was indeed practicing just now. After giving Zhou Yun appropriate guidance, the Hydra Demon has once again immersed in practice.

　　"Tianlingmai? Chonglingxue? Could it be that the Tianlingmai is the name of the mysterious vein in my body? If so, there is indeed an acupuncture point on the tip of the index finger of my right hand above this mysterious vein. That should be the Tianlingxue." Feeling the mysterious vein in his body, Zhou Yun thought silently in his heart.

　　Recalling the first time he met the Hydra Demon in the cave of Mirror Lake Secret Realm, the Hydra Demon also mentioned the Heavenly Spiritual Vein. Now it seems that the vein in his body is indeed called the Heavenly Spiritual Vein.

　　Now, Zhou Yun's Tianling veins have already accumulated a lot of power. These powers are not real power, but a mysterious power. Although he does not know how to cultivate and improve this power, nor how to use it, if he only mobilizes this power in the body to impact a certain acupuncture point, there should be no problem.

　　When a warrior practices, if he wants to make each of the eight extraordinary meridians in his body run smoothly and store some of his true energy, he also needs to mobilize his true energy to impact and open the acupoint. Impacting and opening acupoints is not difficult for Zhou Yun.

　　"I just don't know what's going on fifty miles ahead in this inky world." With a hint of doubt, Zhou Yun walked around the giant tree and headed in the direction indicated by the nine-headed snake demon.

　　Zhou Yun's concentration is now very strong, and a distance of fifty miles is not a problem at all.

　　Moving forward rapidly, after an incense stick of time, Zhou Yun had already walked a distance of fifty miles.

　　"It seems like there is nothing here. Did I go to the wrong place?" Zhou Yun had been carefully observing his surroundings on the way forward. He had never discovered that there were other things in this inky world before, but after hearing from the nine-headed snake demon, there were actually some things in this inky world.

　　"Hmm? What is that?" Suddenly, a faint green appeared in front of him. Seeing that green, Zhou Yun's brows immediately frowned slightly.

　　The green light seemed to be emitted from underground. Looking along the horizon, nothing could be seen. Only when you walked closer and looked down could you see it clearly.

　　Walking over quickly, Zhou Yun was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him, "This... is this the Soul-Locking Incense?"

　　In front of Zhou Yun, a big pit with a radius of about five meters was quietly existing under the ground of the inky world. In the big pit, bursts of thick green poisonous gas were constantly flashing. As soon as Zhou Yun saw the green poisonous gas, he immediately judged that this was the soul-locking incense poison that his sister Zhou Xue was infected with at that time!

　　Zhou Yun had practiced with the extremely poisonous Soul-Locking Incense before, so he was very familiar with this kind of toxin.

　　"Could it be that the Hydra Demon asked me to impact the Chongling Point in order to open up the connection between my body and this world crystal, and then use this Soul-Locking Incense to poison those warriors, and then control them for three years? But if we can't come back within three years, then won't all these warriors die?" Looking at the thick green poisonous gas in the big pit, Zhou Yun frowned tightly.

　　Before, those Luo family warriors were working for Luo Tian, ​​so they deserved to die, but now, these warriors have surrendered to him and are willing to work for the Liu family. It is necessary to find a way to control them so that they can obey Liu Xiaohan and Liu Xiaofeng.

　　But if he used something like the Soul Locking Incense, it would probably kill these warriors. Zhou Yun couldn't do such a thing.

　　"After all, this is not the Tianyuan Continent, but another continent. I don't know if I can come back to this place. If I really want to do this, what if I can't come back? It would be a sin. It's better to ask the third princess about this matter first." Standing there, Zhou Yun thought silently for a moment and finally made a decision.

　　The condensed body stagnated there, and in the carriage, Zhou Yun's real body also opened his eyes.

　　"Third Princess, I have a question." Zhou Yun asked as he looked at Li Wanqiu who was still practicing with her eyes closed.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Wanqiu slowly opened his eyes, "Well, ask."

　　"Third Princess, will it be convenient for me to come here in the future?" Zhou Yun asked calmly. This was what Zhou Yun was most concerned about. Of course, being able to use the Soul Locking Incense was the best outcome. First of all, the poison would not harm the body, but would only inhibit the improvement of cultivation. Once the poison was removed, there would be no effect.

　　Secondly, Zhou Yun is more familiar with this control method. If Zhou Yun can come here again within the next three years, then there will be no problem in using the Soul-Locking Incense.

　　Zhou Yun is very optimistic about Liu Xiaofeng. This boy is only thirteen years old now. If he grows up smoothly, in three years, he should be able to protect himself and Liu Xiaohan.

　　Moreover, Liu Xiaohan's cultivation has been steadily improving recently. After receiving Zhou Yun's guidance, I believe she will also make rapid progress. Moreover, this time when they return, Zhou Yun will give them a big gift.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Wanqiu's eyes flashed with surprise. At first, Li Wanqiu thought that Zhou Yun couldn't let go of Liu Xiaohan and wanted to come back again. But looking at Zhou Yun's clear eyes, Li Wanqiu judged that Zhou Yun's thoughts in his heart were not about lusting after beauty.

　　Thinking that he actually cared about this, Li Wanqiu showed a self-deprecating smile on his face. He shook his head and said, "If you want to come back here to take a look, it shouldn't be a problem. This time you are the first in the Shenwei training camp, and you will have this right in the future."

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Zhou Yun’s worries were finally put to rest. If this was the case, then there would be no problem using the Soul-Locking Incense.

　　"Thank you, Third Princess." After thanking Li Wanqiu, Zhou Yun's mind once again entered the boundary crystal space.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun closing his eyes and breathing, Li Wanqiu once again devoted himself to his own practice.

　　In the crystal space, on the vast inky land, Zhou Yun began to impact the Chongling point on the top of his right index finger of the Tianling meridian in his body according to the instructions of the Hydra Demon. The power in the Tianling meridian was mobilized by Zhou Yun and began to circulate rapidly.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun, who was sitting in the carriage, also began to mobilize the power in his internal spiritual veins.

　　At this moment, the movements of Zhou Yun's real body and condensed body were almost completely identical, and there was no trace of difference.

　　After circulating the power in that spiritual vein for a few times, Zhou Yun felt that the time had come. He immediately concentrated his strength and rushed towards the Chongling point on the tip of his index finger.

　　boom!!

　　The mysterious force leaped up and impacted the Chongling acupoint in the Tianling Vein. Suddenly, Zhou Yun felt that the connection between himself and the world crystal was opened up!

　　Chapter 194: A Leap

　　The moment the Chongling acupoint was opened, the boundary crystal held in Zhou Yun's right hand instantly moved to Zhou Yun's fingertips and merged into it, leaving no trace.

　　Closing his eyes and feeling, Zhou Yun immediately captured the location of the boundary crystal in his body. The boundary crystal was now hidden in the Chongling acupoint on the tip of Zhou Yun's right index finger, turning into a small black dot.

　　Through the Chongling point on his fingertips, Zhou Yun could clearly feel his own condensed body in the boundary crystal space, and the connection between the two became closer.

　　Separating a bit of consciousness, the condensed body in the world of crystals walked to the front of the big pit and absorbed some of the poisonous Soul-Locking Incense. Suddenly, traces of green toxins condensed on the fingertips of Zhou Yun's body.

　　This poison is exactly the same as the soul-locking incense in the boundary crystal space!

　　After opening up the Chongling acupoint, Zhou Yun can finally connect the inky world in the boundary crystal space with his main body!

　　But Zhou Yun also felt that this connection was only a very superficial one. In the future, he should be able to find more ways to control the boundary crystal. No matter what is in the boundary crystal space, Zhou Yun can mobilize it and use it at any time.

　　Even the boundary crystal is opened to allow other humans, animals and plants to move in.

　　"Although it's not well developed yet, it's good enough for now." Looking at the green light jumping in the air, Zhou Yun smiled and spoke in his heart.

　　After breaking open the Tianling acupoint, Zhou Yun once again entered a state of cultivation. The main body in the carriage slowly breathed in and out to restore his body's condition. In the boundary crystal space, Zhou Yun's condensed body was standing on the Wanxiang Thunder Stake to increase the strength of his true power.

　　After talking with the Hydra Demon that day, Zhou Yun also knew clearly that the All-Things Thunder Fist he practiced was incomplete, lacking the first two levels and the last two levels. Although this kind of All-Things Thunder Fist was relatively powerful, its foundation was not stable.

　　Fortunately, Zhou Yun's own foundation is very solid, and with the help of the boundary crystal, he can improve his physique and speed up his cultivation. Therefore, Zhou Yun can use the Myriad Thunder Fist with such great power. From this, if he can obtain the first two basic levels and the last two high-end levels of the Myriad Thunder Fist, and master the entire set of the Myriad Thunder Fist, then Zhou Yun's power will definitely be incomparably powerful.

　　Practicing silently, in the evening, the carriage carrying Zhou Yun and others finally returned to Baiyue City.

　　Seeing a group of people wearing Luo family uniforms coming with a luxurious carriage, the soldiers on the top of Baiyue City immediately became nervous.

　　In their view, the power of the Luo family is irresistible, and whenever someone from the Luo family comes here, nothing good will happen.

　　The last time Fang Yan brought people here, he directly killed Bai He, who had a very high prestige in Baiyue City, and whipped his corpse and hung it up, which made all the people in Baiyue City hate him very much.

　　"Commander, what should we do? These people from the Luo family are coming again!" Seeing a group of black-clad warriors and a luxurious carriage approaching in the distance, a soldier on the top of the city finally ran back to report to the commander guarding the city.

　　Originally, Baihe was the commander of Baiyue City. When Baihe died, another warrior from the Liu family named Zhang Hu took over the position of commander of Baiyue City. Zhang Hu's cultivation was only at the middle stage of tendon training, and his combat power was very weak. But after hearing the news, Zhang Hu did not flinch at all.

　　"Close the city gates and prepare for battle!" Zhang Hu stood up and quickly gave the order, "Xiao Si, go back to the mansion and tell the young lady to ask the expert from Liuyun Country to help. Although we are not afraid of death, we are definitely not able to stop these people."

　　Although there is an impulsive and brave look on his face, Zhang Hu is not a reckless man.

　　After hearing Zhang Hu's words, a short warrior next to him immediately nodded and left, running quickly towards the Liu family mansion.

　　"Close the city gate!" After Xiao Si left, Zhang Hu also stood on the city wall of Baiyue City. Looking at the team below that was less than a hundred meters away from Baiyue City, Zhang Hu gritted his teeth, the blue veins on his head jumped twice, and he finally spoke.

　　Following Zhang Hu's words, the gates of Baiyue City were immediately closed. On the city wall, all the warriors of Baiyue City stood up, holding bows and arrows, aiming at the people below.

　　At this time, the Luo family warriors who followed the carriage also saw the reaction on the top of the city. Suddenly, anger and coldness flashed in the eyes of the Luo family warriors. For a moment, they were unable to get rid of the habits they had developed in the Luo family.

　　Over the past thirty years, the Luo family has dominated the entire Northern Princes Alliance. No matter where they go, the locals will welcome them with open doors and dare not resist at all! I didn't expect that now, this small Baiyue City would dare to resist their majesty!

　　"You are looking for death! Why don't you open the city gate!" At the front of the team, a hot-tempered Luo family warrior couldn't help but take a step forward and yelled.

　　Along with the roar, powerful forces burst out. The advantage of warriors who have reached the peak of internal organ blood exchange when facing some warriors in the tendon training stage is extremely huge. The sense of oppression is also extremely strong. For a moment, all the warriors of Baiyue City on the city wall were stunned.

　　"Hey, Lu Gang, you can't do this. Have you forgotten what the adults said? From now on, we must be loyal to the Liu family of Baiyue City and we can't use violence." As soon as Lu Gang roared, another warrior from the Luo family reacted immediately, ran up and grabbed Lu Gang.

　　Upon hearing the warrior's words, the hot-tempered Lu Gang was stunned for a moment.

　　Yes, Zhou Yun wanted them to be loyal to Baiyue City in the future, but he himself had not thought of this. As soon as he arrived at Baiyue City, he started shouting and yelling. If Zhou Yun blamed him, he would not be able to live even if he had several lives.

　　When he thought of this, Lu Gang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and just stood there.

　　After hearing what Lu Gang and the other warrior said, all the Luo family warriors were stunned. No one dared to take another step forward.

　　At this time, Liu Xiaohan's figure also appeared on the top of the city wall. After receiving the report from her own warriors, although Liu Xiaohan was extremely anxious, she did not dare to disturb Zhou Yun rashly and could only go to the top of the city wall by herself.

　　Looking at the carriage that was parked below and so many powerful warriors from the Luo family, Liu Xiaohan felt a burst of nervousness in his heart and his face gradually turned pale.

　　Only at this moment did she realize how much she needed Zhou Yun to be by her side, but she did not dare to disturb Zhou Yun's practice.

　　At this moment, a gorgeous carriage was opened below the tower, and Zhou Yun appeared there. Behind Zhou Yun, Li Wanqiu had already walked out with Liu Xiaofeng, who had just woken up.

　　Originally her face was full of sadness and grievance, but when she saw Zhou Yun and Liu Xiaofeng, Liu Xiaohan's face suddenly burst into a light of incomparable surprise. Her eyes turned red and tears began to drip down her face madly.

　　In her eyes, the man walking step by step under the city wall seemed so tall and reliable.

　　"Xiao Han, open the city gate." With a smile, Zhou Yun walked towards the city gate. This time when he went to Huluo, all the troubles around Liu Xiaohan had been solved. He believed that she would live a good life in the future. Now, Zhou Yun was completely relieved, and the smile on his face was very relaxed.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun's smile, Liu Xiaohan felt as if her heart was suddenly grasped, and the vague feeling finally burst out strongly.

　　"Zhou Yun!" With a cheer, Liu Xiaohan opened her arms towards Zhou Yun and jumped down.

　　At this moment, Liu Xiaohan actually forgot that she was on a city wall more than ten meters high!

　　Zhou Yun was shocked to see Liu Xiaohan actually jumped down like this. He rushed up immediately, took a deep breath and jumped. His body immediately rose up and caught the falling Liu Xiaohan at a height of more than ten meters. The two of them landed on the ground together.

　　"Zhou Yun, thank you, thank you for showing up." At this moment, Liu Xiaohan was held horizontally in Zhou Yun's arms. After being caught by Zhou Yun, Liu Xiaohan buried her head deeply in Zhou Yun's arms, whispering softly.

　　Seeing Liu Xiaohan in such a state, Zhou Yun's body froze there, and for a moment he even forgot to put Liu Xiaohan down.

　　oh!!!!

　　At this time, all the Liu family warriors on the top of the city wall cheered at once. They all recognized Zhou Yun and saw the handsome Zhou Yun catch Liu Xiaohan directly in mid-air. Such an intimate and warm scene immediately moved them.

　　A hero and a beautiful woman are a pair that people love in every era.

　　squeak!

　　The heavy city gate was also opened at this time, and the people of Baiyue City began to cheer and welcome Zhou Yun's return.

　　Faced with everyone's enthusiasm, Zhou Yun didn't know what to do for a moment.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun holding Liu Xiaohan in his arms and the happy look on Liu Xiaohan's face, Li Wanqiu couldn't help but shook her head. She knew that Zhou Yun definitely didn't have any plans for Liu Xiaohan, but that Liu Xiaohan herself had fallen in love with Zhou Yun after spending so much time together.

　　Wasn’t it the same situation for Li Xiaoxiao back then?

　　"This Zhou Yun is really a passionate guy." Looking at Zhou Yun's figure helplessly, Li Wanqiu took Liu Xiaofeng's hand and walked up.

　　"Why are you still standing there? Let's go into the city. You can have a good talk with her when you get back." Li Wanqiu spoke calmly as he walked to Zhou Yun's side.

　　After leaving a word, Li Wanqiu took Liu Xiaofeng's hand and walked in first. When leaving, Zhou Yun saw a look of expectation on Liu Xiaofeng's face. Obviously, Liu Xiaofeng had accepted Zhou Yun at this time and hoped that he would be with his sister.

　　In Zhou Yun's arms, Liu Xiaohan could no longer hear anything. After making this bold move, Liu Xiaohan was extremely shy at the moment. Her pretty face was flushed and she didn't dare to raise her head at all. However, her heart was full of happiness, making the 17-year-old girl almost faint with happiness.

　　It would undoubtedly be extremely cruel to put Liu Xiaohan down at this time. With a bitter smile on his face, Zhou Yun had no choice but to carry Liu Xiaohan back to the Liu family mansion amid the cheers of the crowd.

　　At this time, the Luo family warriors in the back had also followed in.

　　"Why are you here? Why are you with Lord Zhou Yun?" Seeing the Luo family warriors coming in, Zhang Hu immediately walked up to them and asked.

　　Looking at Zhang Hu with anger on his face, Lu Gang, a warrior of the Luo family, shook his head silently, and said with a hint of relief in his disappointment, "The Luo family was completely destroyed by Lord Zhou Yun. Luo Tian is dead, and the Luo family is finished. Lord Zhou Yun said that from now on, all of us will serve the Liu family, so we are here."

　　As soon as Lu Gang finished speaking, there was an even louder cheer from the crowd!

　　The Huo Luo Kingdom is finished, the Luo family is finished, and in the future, everyone in Baiyue City will definitely live a better life!

　　Chapter 195: Departure after the Deed is Done

　　Holding Liu Xiaohan in his arms, Zhou Yun walked all the way to the house where he lived, and then he put Liu Xiaohan down.

　　Her feet finally touched the ground. Thinking about her bold behavior just now, Liu Xiaohan's pretty face was still flushed. She felt that her feet had no strength. Liu Xiaohan stood there with a dizzy head, her little hands still holding Zhou Yun's arms, her body leaning on Zhou Yun, without saying a word.

　　Looking at Liu Xiaohan's appearance, how could Zhou Yun not understand her feelings?

　　But Zhou Yun really wouldn't and couldn't consider this issue now. After what happened with Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun felt very guilty towards Lin Junyao. At this time, he didn't want to breed any other romantic feelings. This was disrespectful to Lin Junyao and to himself.

　　Besides, Zhou Yun is not from the Black Flame Continent at all, and it is impossible for him to stay here in the future.

　　Leaning on Zhou Yun all the time, feeling the stiffness of Zhou Yun's body and the aura on his body, Liu Xiaohan also vaguely sensed something.

　　Raising her eyes, Liu Xiaohan looked at Zhou Yun, and there was a hint of panic and fear in her beautiful eyes.

　　"Zhou Yun...can you stay?" Liu Xiaohan spoke carefully with a slight tremor in her voice.

　　Looking at Liu Xiaohan's beautiful face and tearful expression, Zhou Yun felt very sad. Liu Xiaohan was not the kind of girl who would do anything casually. She was a real good girl, but Zhou Yun really couldn't accept such a thing.

　　Zhou Yun hardened his heart and shook his head silently.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun shaking his head, Liu Xiaohan's tears suddenly fell. The strength of her little hands holding Zhou Yun's arms suddenly increased, and her lips were tightly pursed.

　　"Xiao Han, I'm sorry. I'm from Liuyun Country. Our Liuyun Country is different from other places. I have no choice but to go back." Seeing Liu Xiaohan so sad, Zhou Yun couldn't bear it anymore and could only comfort her. "Xiao Han, I've already solved the Luo family's problem. Those Luo family warriors will be loyal to the Liu family in the future. Moreover, with the set of secret manuals I gave Xiaofeng, with his talent and tenacity, he can become a truly upright man in a few years. You will be happy in the future."

　　Facing Liu Xiaohan, Zhou Yun could only comfort her in this way.

　　With her lips still tightly pursed, Liu Xiaohan's tears fell even faster. As a girl, since her father left, Liu Xiaohan has never lived for herself. As a 17-year-old girl, how could she not yearn for love?

　　Now, the person she likes has appeared, but she can't catch him. This kind of pain is something Zhou Yun can't understand at all.

　　Shaking her head, Liu Xiaohan almost couldn't stand. Her legs went weak and she was about to fall to the ground.

　　"Xiao Han!" With a scream, Zhou Yun hurriedly supported Liu Xiaohan again and helped her sit down on the edge of the bed.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun could clearly feel the sadness in Liu Xiaohan, but he really had no way to deal with it.

　　Sitting at the head of the bed, leaning against Zhou Yun, Liu Xiaohan's emotions finally calmed down after a long time. She could feel that Zhou Yun really would not stay. Although she was very sad, Liu Xiaohan knew that if she just cried, things would not develop in a better direction.

　　Li Xiaohan looked up at Zhou Yun, with a trace of sadness on her face, but her expression was very serious. "Zhou Yun, after you go back this time, will you come here again?"

　　Nodding, Zhou Yun said, "Yes, within three years."

　　Upon hearing Zhou Yun's words, Liu Xiaohan's face immediately showed a touch of joy, "Zhou Yun, you promised me that you must come back within three years. I will wait for you. When the time comes, you can either stay or take me away, okay?"

　　Liu Xiaohan is not a very bold girl. After making such a move, Liu Xiaohan can almost be said to have determined Zhou Yun. At this time, she only wants to be able to follow Zhou Yun in the future.

　　Seeing Liu Xiaohan's hopeful look, Zhou Yun couldn't refuse and could only say, "Xiaohan, let's talk about it next time I come. My situation in Liuyun Country is not good, and there are many dangers around me. If I have enough ability in the future and the time is right, I will do it."

　　"Okay, I'll wait for you." After nodding vigorously, a smile finally appeared on Liu Xiaohan's face.

　　In fact, what she wanted now was just a promise from Zhou Yun, a promise that could bring her hope. With this promise, Liu Xiaohan could wait. She knew that after Zhou Yun accompanied her through the most difficult stage in her life, she could no longer leave Zhou Yun.

　　Seeing that Liu Xiaohan's emotions had finally calmed down, Zhou Yun also felt a little relieved.

　　"Xiaohan, lie down. I have a gift for you. I will leave after I arrange the last few things. You have to take care of yourself here." Holding Liu Xiaohan's shoulders, Zhou Yun guided her to lie down on the bed.

　　Although she didn't know what Zhou Yun was going to give her, Liu Xiaohan still obediently followed Zhou Yun's wishes.

　　Lying on the bed with her eyes closed, Liu Xiaohan felt very relaxed. She believed in Zhou Yun and was not afraid that Zhou Yun would bully her.

　　Standing in front of the bed, Zhou Yun gradually gathered a gray true energy between his fingers. He placed his hand on Liu Xiaohan's dantian and exerted force with his fingers. Immediately, the white clothes and the skin underneath Liu Xiaohan's lower abdomen were cut open at the same time.

　　"Hmm!" Liu Xiaohan groaned in pain after suffering such a sudden injury, but then an extremely comfortable feeling came from the wound. Liu Xiaohan felt as if Zhou Yun had put something into her wound.

　　The next moment, Zhou Yun's palm also covered her dantian.

　　"Xiao Han, I have implanted a black flame crystal in your dantian. This black flame crystal can help you quickly improve your cultivation. I will also implant one in Xiao Feng later. The third princess told me, and she also gave you a set of secret manuals. With this black flame crystal, plus that set of secret manuals, your own abilities can also grow rapidly, and this way, you will be safer. Xiao Han, take care of yourself." The palm covered Liu Xiaohan's dantian, and streams of pure power immediately emanated.

　　Under the dual power of Zhou Yun and the black flame crystal, Liu Xiaohan's wounds began to heal rapidly.

　　Under the nourishment of these two forces, Liu Xiaohan's eyelids became heavier and heavier. She knew that Zhou Yun was using his power to make her fall asleep. She also knew that when she woke up again, Zhou Yun would have left.

　　"Zhou Yun... Zhou Yun..." Feeling her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, Liu Xiaohan could not help but murmur anxiously and weakly. She tried hard to open her eyes. In the dim light, Liu Xiaohan looked deeply at Zhou Yun who was standing beside the bed.

　　Seeing Liu Xiaohan like this, Zhou Yun knew how reluctant she was. He was also very sad, but he still resolutely increased his strength.

　　After a while, the wound on Liu Xiaohan's dantian had recovered, and at this time Liu Xiaohan had truly fallen into a deep sleep.

　　"Xiao Han, take good care of yourself. I will come back if possible." Zhou Yun whispered to the beautiful girl who had fallen asleep. After covering Liu Xiao with the quilt, Zhou Yun stood up and resolutely walked out of the room.

　　After leaving the room, Zhou Yun immediately saw Li Wanqiu standing at the door.

　　"Has it been resolved?" Li Wanqiu asked after glancing at Zhou Yun indifferently.

　　Nodding, Zhou Yun did not directly answer Li Wanqiu's words, but said, "Third Princess, please help gather all the Luo family warriors in the hall. I'll go see Xiaofeng and make the final arrangements, and then we'll go back."

　　The Black Flame Crystal has been implanted in Li Wanqiu, and now it is Liu Xiaofeng's turn.

　　"Okay." Seeing Zhou Yun's somewhat gloomy expression, Li Wanqiu didn't ask any more questions. After all, anyone would feel uncomfortable if they rejected the passionate feelings of a girl like Liu Xiaohan.

　　After responding, Li Wanqiu walked towards the Luo family's hall.

　　Seeing Li Wanqiu walking away, Zhou Yun also turned and entered the room where Li Wanqiu lived these days. Liu Xiaofeng was lying quietly on the small bed in the room. During this ordeal, the thirteen-year-old child was really too tired. Although he had slept all the way in the carriage, after returning home, Liu Xiaofeng's fatigue still did not completely subside, and he fell into sleep again.

　　"I hope you can really work hard and protect your sister in the future." Looking at Liu Xiaofeng, who still had a firm look in his eyes even in his sleep, Zhou Yun also showed a smile on his face.

　　Looking at Liu Xiaofeng, Zhou Yun couldn't help but think of himself.

　　With a smile on his face, Zhou Yun took out a black flame crystal from the space ring. The knife flashed, and a wound was cut on Liu Xiaofeng's dantian. The black flame crystal in Zhou Yun's hand was quickly placed into Liu Xiaofeng's dantian.

　　Liu Xiaofeng frowned slightly in his sleep because of the pain, but soon, the power from the Black Flame Crystal made him feel comfortable. Under the dual power of Zhou Yun's true power and the Black Flame Crystal, Liu Xiaofeng smiled and fell into a deep sleep.

　　"Xiaofeng, take good care of Xiaohan. This is what you should do. I hope you can do it." About an incense stick of time later, the wound on Liu Xiaofeng's dantian had completely healed.

　　Looking at Liu Xiaofeng who had fallen into deep sleep, Zhou Yun smiled and whispered, then walked out of the room.

　　Half an hour later, after all the troubles were resolved, Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu finally rode out of Baiyue City on horseback and galloped rapidly towards the Three Sacred Mountains in the distance.

　　Zhou Yun had already injected a trace of soul-locking incense into all the Luo family warriors. Such a mild poison was not fatal, and Zhou Yun also stated that this was just a means of checks and balances. If they did not betray him within three years, Zhou Yun would give them many benefits when he came back again.

　　The warriors of the Luo family had no objection to this arrangement. After all, they had served in the Luo family before, and Luo Tian had restrictions on them even though he was so powerful. Now, they were working for two people whose cultivation was far inferior to theirs. If there were no restrictions, it would be abnormal.

　　After completing these tasks successfully, Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu could finally return.

　　Outside Baiyue City, Zhou Yun was riding his horse at full speed, feeling extremely enthusiastic.

　　After returning to Tianyuan Continent, the Shenwei Training Camp that lasted for half a year came to an end. Zhou Yun only needed to take on one final challenge before he could leave the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　At that time, I can meet Lin Junyao whom I have been thinking about all the time.

　　Thinking of Lin Junyao's face, Zhou Yun also showed a happy smile on his face.

　　Chapter 196 Return to Tianyuan Continent

　　Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu advanced very quickly. After three hours, they had entered the dense jungle at the foot of Sansheng Mountain. They dismounted from their horses and patted the two horses on their butts. Immediately, the two horses neighed and ran towards the outskirts of Sansheng Mountain.

　　Without bearing the weight of Zhou Yun and Li Wanqiu, the two horses sped up and disappeared from their sight in a moment.

　　"Zhou Yun, you lead the way." The horses had already gone far away. Next, the two of them would have to rely on their own strength to move forward in the dense forest. Turning sideways, Li Wanqiu made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Yun and spoke with a faint smile on his face.

　　Li Wanqiu was now convinced that Zhou Yun had a magical power that could control the surrounding environment. This was best demonstrated when they were at the Luo family. Zhou Yun led the way, and along the way, the two of them skillfully avoided all patrolling warriors, as if those Luo family warriors were puppets controlled by Zhou Yun.

　　Since Zhou Yun has such ability, the task of leading the way naturally falls to Zhou Yun. The two's current goal is to return to the Shenwei training camp as soon as possible, rather than hunting ferocious beasts.

　　Looking at the smile on Li Wanqiu's face, Zhou Yun shook his head helplessly, but still took the lead and walked out.

　　Zhou Yun left in front, and Li Wanqiu followed closely behind him, walking towards the San Sheng Mountain in the distance.

　　In the dense forest, Zhou Yun's body was extremely agile, moving swiftly among the dense trees at a very fast frequency. Behind Zhou Yun, Li Wanqiu was following closely. Her cultivation was equal to Zhou Yun's, so such rapid progress did not bring her too much pressure.

　　Although Zhou Yun always maintained a northward direction along the way, he often changed the specific route along the way and rarely moved forward in a straight line.

　　As they advanced, the two encountered very few ferocious beasts. Even if one or two ferocious beasts appeared occasionally, they were all killed by Zhou Yun in one blow, and it didn't take the two of them much time at all.

　　As night fell, the two were already very close to the Holy Mountain. Looking at Zhou Yun, who was still moving swiftly in the night, Li Wanqiu became more and more surprised.

　　Li Wanqiu hurried a few steps and caught up with Zhou Yun. He walked to Zhou Yun's side and couldn't help asking, "Zhou Yun, what exactly is this ability of yours? I feel like you seem to know the movements of all the ferocious beasts nearby."

　　In fact, this question is somewhat unreasonable. Every warrior has some trump cards of his own, and these trump cards are generally never easily revealed. But Li Wanqiu couldn't resist his curiosity and could only ask out loud.

　　Zhou Yun naturally knew this, but he did not have any guard against Li Wanqiu. Li Wanqiu was the eighth prince's sister. Although Li Wanqiu had never mentioned anything to Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun knew that Li Wanqiu also hoped that Zhou Yun would work for the eighth prince.

　　In such an environment, Li Wanqiu would not do anything bad to him. Moreover, if Li Wanqiu wanted to deal with him, he would not have waited until now.

　　"Actually, this is a unique sensing ability of mine. After I release my sensing ability, I can feel everything within a certain range around me." Zhou Yun said after slightly arranging his words.

　　Zhou Yun's words were an art. He informed Li Wanqiu of his own situation without being too blunt or thorough.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Wanqiu nodded silently, "This ability is really powerful."

　　"Yes, this ability helps me a lot." Zhou Yun nodded, agreeing with Li Wanqiu's words. Since he had this ability, Zhou Yun has indeed avoided a lot of risks with it.

　　During the break in their chat, the two had already arrived at the bottom of the right peak of Sansheng Mountain. The more than 4,000-meter-high peak was almost straight up, with only some irregular rocks in the middle to stand on. Climbing such a vertical peak was extremely difficult and dangerous.

　　"Third Princess, this is the mountain I reached when I entered the Black Flame Continent. Let's go up from here. Be careful." Standing at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Yun adjusted his breathing and spoke to Li Wanqiu.

　　"Don't worry, a place like this won't be a problem for me." With a faint smile, Li Wanqiu spoke slowly.

　　During this period of time, Li Wanqiu smiled more often. Although they were all very shallow smiles, as they got along, Zhou Yun no longer felt the cold, distant aura from Li Wanqiu.

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Zhou Yun also showed a self-deprecating expression on his face. Li Wanqiu practiced the sword pavilion, and in terms of mobility, Li Wanqiu still surpassed him. Especially in a critical moment, Li Wanqiu could fly with a sword.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun adjusted his state and spread his spiritual perception. Zhou Yun had found a suitable path.

　　His legs suddenly bent, and then, with a powerful force stepping on the ground, Zhou Yun's body powerfully flew into the air.

　　This time, Zhou Yun's body directly rose more than 60 meters. After stretching out his hand, Zhou Yun immediately found a protruding rock. He exerted force again, and Zhou Yun's body rose again.

　　On the top of the rock wall, Zhou Yun began to climb nimbly. Every time he found a foothold and exerted force again, Zhou Yun could move up ten meters, or even dozens of meters.

　　After Zhou Yun took action, Li Wanqiu also raised his hand. A white sword light floated above his fingertips. Li Wanqiu exerted a little force with his legs, and his whole body was immediately guided by the white sword light and flew up.

　　This time, Li Wanqiu flew directly to a height of nearly 100 meters, which was even higher than Zhou Yunshengkong.

　　Although he was crawling above and did not look at Li Wanqiu directly, Zhou Yun's spiritual perception was fully covered at this moment, and he could naturally feel Li Wanqiu's movements.

　　"Jian Ge is truly magical." Seeing Li Wanqiu catch up with him so easily, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

　　It seemed that Li Wanqiu didn't need him to worry about anything. Zhou Yun also put aside his worries and began to rise quickly. This time, Zhou Yun's movement speed immediately became even faster.

　　Li Wanqiu also followed behind Zhou Yun, following closely.

　　About an incense stick of time later, the two had safely climbed to the top of the mountain, which was more than 4,000 meters high.

　　Now, in front of them was only a cliff over 300 meters high and a black vortex on the cliff. That vortex was their passage back to Tianyuan Continent.

　　"Third Princess, how is it this time? Can you still go up easily?" With a slight smile, Zhou Yun looked at Li Wanqiu beside him and spoke.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, a hint of challenge appeared on Li Wanqiu's face. Without answering, Li Wanqiu turned her right hand slightly, and suddenly, a long sword appeared in her hand.

　　bass!!

　　The long sword appeared, and before it was swung, a chilling cold light immediately emanated from it, and a slight sound representing sharpness also burst out from the sword body.

　　This was the first time that Zhou Yun saw Li Wanqiu draw out her sword. Just by looking at it, Zhou Yun knew that this sword was definitely a rare and unique weapon. Zhou Yun felt that if Li Wanqiu really used this sword to fight, her combat effectiveness would be much stronger than it is now.

　　Sure enough, Li Wanqiu's next action proved Zhou Yun's judgment. The long sword shone with a cold light, and Li Wanqiu was directly guided by the long sword to fly up. He actually rose directly to a height of more than 300 meters, and directly plunged into the black vortex and disappeared.

　　Seeing Li Wanqiu's challenging move, Zhou Yun also showed a smile on his face, "I won't lose to you either."

　　With a whisper, Zhou Yun's entire aura changed immediately. In his Tianling Meridian and Chongling Cave, Zhou Yun's condensed body in the Boundary Crystal World transmitted a powerful force. In an instant, Zhou Yun's strength doubled.

　　"Rise!" With a loud shout, Zhou Yun's whole body was bathed in the flowing true energy. He rose rapidly and jumped directly to a height of more than 100 meters. With two stomping steps on the vertical rock wall, Zhou Yun rose to a height of more than 300 meters and entered the black vortex.

　　His body plunged into the black vortex, and the familiar scene appeared in front of Zhou Yun again, the mysterious passage with vague boundaries, the gray and endless void world outside the passage, and the spots of light in the void. These things were exactly the same as when Zhou Yun entered the Black Flame Continent.

　　Knowing what he would face next, Zhou Yun did not look at this empty world for long this time. Instead, he held on to Yuan Yi, closed his eyes, and let his mind completely concentrate.

　　Sure enough! The next moment, a frenzied force swept over Zhou Yun, wrapping him up and flowing forward along the passage.

　　In this turbulent flow, Zhou Yun's body was like a leaf in the wind, but this time, Zhou Yun's experience still played a role. Because he had been prepared and had been keeping his mind focused, Zhou Yun's consciousness was not scattered this time.

　　The last time he entered the Black Flame Continent, Zhou Yun didn’t even know how long he had been surging in the turbulence before he was directly knocked onto the ground at the top of the Three Sacred Mountains in the Black Flame Continent.

　　But this time, Zhou Yun's consciousness was not lost. After flowing for about an hour, he felt his body relax and immediately found himself falling freely.

　　"This time I must not fall directly to the ground like I did last time." Zhou Yun muttered to himself and immediately activated his spiritual sense to the fullest. Suddenly, Zhou Yun found himself falling down from a height of more than 50 meters.

　　And on the ground below, Li Wanqiu was standing there. Maybe Li Wanqiu wanted to see his joke?

　　Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhou Yun's face. Although he did not open his eyes to avoid the feeling of dizziness, Zhou Yun could still grasp everything around him clearly.

　　A surge of true energy surged through his body, and Zhou Yun instantly regained his balance.

　　The distance of more than fifty meters flashed by, and Zhou Yun did not fall directly to the ground, but stood firmly on the ground.

　　With his feet on the ground, Zhou Yun spent two breaths to adjust his state. Until the feeling of emptiness under his feet was gone and his eyes stopped wandering, Zhou Yun breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his body.

　　"Third Princess, I'm sorry for not letting you see my joke." With a slight smile, Zhou Yun winked at Li Wanqiu beside him.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, a smile immediately appeared on Li Wanqiu's face. Taking advantage of Zhou Yun's current bad condition, Li Wanqiu actually stretched out her little foot and kicked Zhou Yun's ankle. Suddenly, Zhou Yun was caught off guard and was swept to the ground by Li Wanqiu.

　　The next moment, a bright smile appeared on Li Wanqiu's face, "Now, haven't I succeeded?"

　　Li Wanqiu raised his chin proudly and spoke complacently.

　　Sitting on the ground, looking at the proud Li Wanqiu, Zhou Yun couldn't help but shout in his heart, "Is this still the saintly Third Princess!!!"

　　Chapter 197: First Place!

　　Oh!

　　Zhou Yun stood up from the ground somewhat helplessly. Just as he was about to brush off the dust on his body, the roar of a giant beast came over.

　　Hearing the roar, Zhou Yun quickly stopped what he was doing and his expression became serious.

　　Zhou Yun was very familiar with the roaring sound; it was the sound made by the tiger-shaped beast that was General Hupeng.

　　Sure enough, the next moment, General Hu Pen rode out of the fog in Examination Room No. 6 on the giant beast.

　　Looking at Li Wanqiu and Zhou Yun in front of him, General Hu Pen spoke slowly, "Well, Third Princess, Zhou Yun, it is a blessing for the two of you to return from the Black Flame Continent. I wonder how many Black Flame Crystals did you get during your trip to the Black Flame Continent this time?"

　　After he finished speaking, General Hu Pen looked at Li Wanqiu and Zhou Yun with a hint of hope in his eyes. Feeling General Hu Pen's gaze, Zhou Yun became more certain that this Black Flame Crystal was truly an extremely precious thing.

　　Fortunately, he had made an agreement with Li Wanqiu before. Otherwise, if they really had to fight this time, Zhou Yun would probably lose a lot of Black Flame Crystals.

　　After hearing what General Hu Pen said, Li Wanqiu took the lead in responding. She waved her hand slightly, and instantly, fifty Black Flame Crystals appeared on the tray in her hand. "This time when I went to the Black Flame Continent, I got a total of fifty Black Flame Crystals."

　　Seeing Li Wanqiu take out fifty Black Flame Crystals at once, General Hu Pen immediately showed a smile on his face. In his opinion, fifty Black Flame Crystals were already very precious.

　　"Zhou Yun, what about you?" After putting away Li Wanqiu's Black Flame Crystal, General Hu Pen turned to Zhou Yun and asked.

　　When asking about Zhou Yun, General Hu Pen's tone became much calmer. In his opinion, Zhou Yun's strength was far inferior to Li Wanqiu's. Moreover, he also knew how rare the Black Flame Crystals were. It was already very difficult for Li Wanqiu to get fifty of them, so Zhou Yun would definitely not get more.

　　Naturally seeing what General Hu Pen was thinking, Zhou Yun did not argue, but took out a hundred Black Flame Crystals with a smile.

　　"I got one hundred." Zhou Yun said calmly as he placed the one hundred Black Flame Crystals on the tray.

　　"One hundred!" After hearing Zhou Yun's words and looking at the crystal in Zhou Yun's hand that was emitting a mysterious black light, General Hu Pen's eyes changed instantly, with a look of disbelief.

　　General Hupeng flipped down directly from the tiger-shaped beast and almost ran over to take the Black Flame Crystals from Zhou Yun's hand. After feeling them carefully, he was sure that these crystals were genuine Black Flame Crystals.

　　After a complicated look at Zhou Yun and then at Li Wanqiu beside him, General Hu Pen finally straightened up and announced, "This Shenwei training camp is over! First place, Zhou Yun, second place, Li Wanqiu! Student Zhou Yun has obtained the qualification to challenge the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace."

　　BANG! !

　　As General Hu Pen announced the results, the positions of the only two names on the Emperor's Elite List in the distance were swapped. Zhou Yun rose to the first place, while Li Wanqiu dropped to the second place!

　　Seeing his name finally come to the first place in the Emperor Elite List, Zhou Yun's heart was filled with infinite emotion. After half a year of hard work, he finally reached this step. It was really not easy.

　　For half a year, Zhou Yun had not seen Lin Junyao, nor had he seen his sister Zhou Xue. At this moment, Zhou Yun missed them very much.

　　"Zhou Yun, do you want to challenge the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace directly now, or do you want to wait until your reward is used up? You still have 550 hours to use the ancient training chamber. You also have three chances to choose treasures from the Shenwei Training Camp treasury." Just as Zhou Yun was missing Jun Yao in his heart, the voice of General Hu Pen came again.

　　Hearing this voice, Zhou Yun's heart suddenly felt eager.

　　A direct challenge almost came out of his mouth.

　　But at this time, Li Wanqiu on the side stopped Zhou Yun's impulse with her eyes. Seeing Li Wanqiu staring at him silently and shaking her head slightly, Zhou Yun finally held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

　　"I decided to practice first and then challenge." Zhou Yun let out a sigh of relief, suppressed his excited emotions, and spoke slowly.

　　"Okay, then you can go back to the living area first. When you want to take the assessment, find any Red Flame Army soldier and tell him. They will bring the news to me." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, General Hu Pen nodded, left a word, and rode the tiger-shaped beast directly into the fog behind.

　　"Zhou Yun, the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace is very important. I suggest you be prepared before going in and don't waste this opportunity." General Hu Pen had already left. Li Wanqiu looked at Zhou Yun and spoke calmly.

　　call!

　　Zhou Yun let out a long sigh and suppressed his excitement. What Li Wanqiu said was indeed reasonable. Although Zhou Yun had gained a lot from his trip to the Black Flame Continent, it was still a pipe dream to say that he could resist all problems with his current abilities.

　　Who is the Great General Shenwei? He is the number one person in the Tianyuan Dynasty, with the ability to reach the sky and penetrate the earth. Just by looking at the Ten Thousand Elephants Thunder Fist he created, Zhou Yun can feel how terrifying this Great General Shenwei is.

　　If you try to challenge it without any preparation, you will definitely fail.

　　Moreover, the Hydra demon also said that it would guide Zhou Yun well in the next period of time. In that case, why not wait and be well prepared before going in?

　　As for his longing for Jun Yao and Zhou Xue, he could only suppress it in his heart for now. Zhou Yun still knew what was important and what was not.

　　Moreover, Zhou Yun had three more chances to choose treasures this time, and he also wanted to take out the last three volumes of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Divine Art and practice them. After all, the power of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Divine Art as a set was still extremely powerful.

　　With these things, I am ready. This time when Zhou Yun challenges the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, he will have more confidence.

　　"Third Princess, thank you." After thinking it all through, Zhou Yun immediately thanked Li Wanqiu.

　　Nodding, Li Wanqiu accepted Zhou Yun's thanks, turned around, and walked directly to the living area of ​​the Shenwei training camp. Along the way, there was some silence between the two. Although Li Wanqiu smiled a lot more now than before, that kind of cold temperament would not change all of a sudden.

　　Even if you smile, it is only allowed under specific circumstances.

　　After a period of silence, the two returned to the living area of ​​the Shenwei training camp.

　　"Zhou Yun, work hard and strive to succeed in the challenge. As for the gold, after you come out of the Shenwei training camp, let Xiaoxiao take you to the palace to find me, and I will give it to you." Li Wanqiu spoke to Zhou Yun while staying in the living area.

　　Li Wanqiu's words clearly carried a hint of farewell. After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Zhou Yun was also a little surprised. "Third Princess, you are not going to use up the time of the ancient cultivation chamber before leaving? And what about those opportunities to choose treasures?"

　　Li Wanqiu smiled calmly and said, "Those treasures are of no use to me. Besides, my goal of entering the Shenwei training camp this time has been fully achieved. My brother is not in a very good condition now. I'd better go out and give it to him as soon as possible since I got the gold."

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Zhou Yun also understood.

　　In fact, what appeal do the things in the treasure house of the Shenwei Training Camp have to Li Wanqiu?

　　As a royal princess, can't she get what she wants easily?

　　As for the usage time of the ancient training chamber, although it is precious, it will only speed up the improvement of cultivation. I believe that even if Li Wanqiu does not have a training environment as good as the ancient training chamber, the effect of her training environment will not be much worse than that of the ancient training chamber.

　　It's normal for her to ignore these things.

　　After understanding Li Wanqiu's thoughts, Zhou Yun said nothing more, "Third Princess, we'll say goodbye for now. When I come out of the training camp, I will definitely visit you in the palace."

　　"Yeah." Li Wanqiu responded with a nod, then turned around and walked towards the exit of the Shenwei training camp.

　　With Li Wanqiu's departure, Zhou Yun was the only one left in the huge Shenwei training camp.

　　Looking at the empty living area square, Zhou Yun also felt a little lonely. After half a year, he was the only one who persisted to the end of the Shenwei training camp. This was enough to make Zhou Yun feel proud. He won the first place in the Shenwei training camp. Such an achievement was worthy of himself, worthy of his sister Zhou Xue, and most importantly, worthy of Jun Yao who was waiting anxiously for her.

　　Trying hard to suppress the longing in his heart, Zhou Yun resolutely walked into the treasure house of Shenwei Training Camp.

　　With Li Wanqiu's departure, the final ranking of the Shenwei Training Camp was finally announced. Zhou Yun unexpectedly caught up from the last place when he entered the camp and directly ranked first. This also shocked everyone in the capital!

　　Everyone felt that the Lin family had once again made a good move by selecting such a promising future star.

　　In the capital, this news has spread like wildfire.

　　At this time, Lin Junyao, who lived in seclusion in the Lin family mansion, had no idea.

　　At this time, Lin Junyao had moved back to Lanxinyuan where she lived. She was with Zhou Xue every day. The two got along well and waited silently for Zhou Yun to come back.

　　Sitting at the desk, Lin Junyao looked at the book in her hands, and gradually showed signs of being absent-minded.

　　As the day of the end of Shenwei training camp approaches, not only Zhou Yun misses her, but her longing for Zhou Yun is also growing day by day.

　　"Jun Yao, are you thinking about Xiao Yun again?" Seeing Lin Jun Yao in a daze as usual, Zhou Xue beside her smiled softly and spoke softly.

　　Lin Junyao's pretty face blushed as she was brought back to her senses by Zhou Xue's words. Although she didn't have to hide her feelings for Zhou Yun from Zhou Xue, she was still a little shy about having her feelings seen through.

　　With her eyelids lowered, Lin Junyao let out a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to answer, the door of Lanxinyuan was suddenly opened.

　　"Jun Yao! Jun Yao! Good news!" Along with the sound of the door being pushed open, Li Xiaoxiao's voice came from afar.

　　Then, Li Xiaoxiao ran into Lin Junyao's room. Seeing Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue in the room, Li Xiaoxiao immediately stopped shouting and came to Zhou Xue in small steps. Li Xiaoxiao bowed obediently.

　　"Hello, Sister Xue." Although she is a princess, Li Xiaoxiao still respects Zhou Xue very much. All this is because of Zhou Yun.

　　Lin Junyao has not yet expressed her opinion on the matter between her and Zhou Yun. At this time, all forces need to be fought for, and Zhou Xue is a very strong force.

　　Although Lin Junyao didn't say anything these days, Zhou Xue had already seen through Li Xiaoxiao's thoughts. Li Xiaoxiao was a princess, but she always came to the Lin family, talked to Junyao about Zhou Yun from time to time, and was very respectful to her. How could Zhou Xue not see it?

　　"Meet the princess." Although she knew that Li Xiaoxiao was trying to please her, Zhou Xue was not someone who didn't know etiquette. No matter how Li Xiaoxiao respected her, her status as a princess was always there. She stood up and bowed to Li Xiaoxiao, then left Lin Junyao's room.

　　Li Xiaoxiao was already accustomed to Zhou Xue's lukewarm attitude and knew that Zhou Xue did not want to interfere in this matter, so she was not angry.

　　Li Xiaoxiao ran up and grabbed Lin Junyao's hand, saying happily, "Junyao, hurry up and come with me to the palace. Sister Wanqiu is back from the Shenwei training camp!"

　　After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Lin Junyao's eyes immediately lit up. Before she could ask more questions, Li Xiaoxiao had already pulled her up and ran straight out of the room.

　　Chapter 198 Li Yan

　　"Xiaoxiao, what's going on? Tell me quickly." Li Xiaoxiao's personality is the impetuous type. Compared with Lin Junyao, Li Xiaoxiao has a certain level of cultivation after all. She simply pulled Lin Junyao into a trot all the way until they entered the carriage at the gate of the Lin family mansion and the carriage began to head towards the palace. Only then did Lin Junyao have a chance to ask.

　　Lin Junyao knew that the Shenwei training camp would end today. The reason why she was absent-minded again just now was that she was wondering whether Zhou Yun would come back today. When she heard Li Xiaoxiao say that the third princess Li Wanqiu had returned from the Shenwei training camp, Lin Junyao was naturally anxious.

　　Lin Junyao was full of anticipation, and Li Xiaoxiao had the same mentality. With an expectant smile on her face, Li Xiaoxiao said, "I don't know the specific situation. We need to go see the third princess and ask her about Zhou Yun's situation. Since Zhou Yun won the first place in the Shenwei training camp, he will have the opportunity to challenge the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, become the disciple of the Shenwei General, and get a full set of Wanxiang Benlei Fist. If this is the case, then he should be back a little later, but we still have to ask the third princess about the specific time."

　　After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Lin Junyao's eyes also showed a trace of disappointment. She really hoped that Zhou Yun would come back now. For a whole six months, there was no news about Zhou Yun. Lin Junyao missed Zhou Yun very much. But in her heart, she was happy for Zhou Yun's achievements. This feeling was really extremely contradictory.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's expression, Li Xiaoxiao had vaguely guessed what she was thinking.

　　Li Xiaoxiao gently held Lin Junyao's hand and consoled her, "Junyao, don't be anxious. Just wait a little longer. Even if Zhou Yun comes out later, he won't be too late. Moreover, Zhou Yun won the first place in the Shenwei training camp this time, so he will definitely be granted a title. Maybe you can get married right away."

　　After hearing Li Xiaoxiao's comfort, the disappointment on Lin Junyao's face finally dissipated a little. She held Li Xiaoxiao's hand and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, what are you going to do?"

　　In fact, during this period of time, Lin Junyao has gradually accepted Li Xiaoxiao. After all, her feelings for Zhou Yun were born inadvertently and naturally, and Li Xiaoxiao didn't know about her relationship with Zhou Yun at that time, which was not wrong.

　　Seeing Lin Junyao say this, Li Xiaoxiao also showed a smile on her face, and replied easily, "It's okay, you can get married first, and then if you, the legitimate wife, are willing to accept me, then I will naturally be very grateful."

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's unruly look, Lin Junyao couldn't help but smile and pinched Li Xiaoxiao lightly.

　　Amidst laughter, the carriage they were riding in drove smoothly towards the palace.

　　In Shangjing, the capital of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the most magnificent building is probably the Imperial City located in the center of the city. The ground of Shangjing is basically dozens of meters higher than the outside, and it looks like it is in the sky. The Imperial City is thirty meters higher than the foundation of Shangjing, and it looks like the sky above, which is extremely majestic.

　　After a while, the carriage that Lin Junyao and Li Xiaoxiao were riding in arrived outside the west gate of the imperial city. The carriage that the two of them were riding in belonged to Prince Jin's mansion, so naturally they would not be stopped. The warrior driving the carriage exchanged some words with the imperial city guards, opened the carriage to look at the people inside, and immediately let them pass.

　　Since the last time she went to Kunyuan Palace and was forced to marry, Lin Junyao has never come to the palace again. Originally, as a princess, Lin Junyao needed to go to the palace at least once a month to pay respects to the queen. Unless there was something special or she was out, this rule could not be abolished.

　　But after being forced into marriage last time, how could Lin Junyao dare to come to the palace again?

　　This time, even though Li Xiaoxiao was accompanying her, Lin Junyao still looked a little nervous after entering the palace.

　　"Jun Yao, what's wrong?" Having been sitting with Lin Jun Yao, Li Xiaoxiao naturally noticed the change in Lin Jun Yao's expression.

　　"It's okay." Shaking her head, Lin Junyao showed a trace of difficulty on her face, and then said, "Xiaoxiao, let's go directly to see the third princess and then return. Don't go to pay respects to the queen, okay?"

　　Seeing Lin Junyao's pale expression for a moment, Li Xiaoxiao immediately guessed that Lin Junyao might have encountered something bad in the palace.

　　Although she didn't know what those things were, Li Xiaoxiao didn't ask too much, but agreed to Lin Junyao's request, "Okay, Junyao, don't worry, we will go directly to Qiuyue Palace and leave after seeing the third princess, okay?"

　　"Well, thank you, Xiaoxiao." Lin Junyao nodded gratefully at Li Xiaoxiao and spoke sincerely.

　　Of course she knew that it was very rude for a princess to enter the palace without visiting the queen, but she really didn't want to go. Moreover, she would also drag Li Xiaoxiao down and couldn't go either.

　　With a smile on her face, Li Xiaoxiao said in a relaxed tone, "Why are you being polite? We are good friends, and we will always be together in the future. We are the closest."

　　The meaning of Li Xiaoxiao's words was very clear, but Lin Junyao did not express anything extra this time, just nodded silently. Seeing Lin Junyao's actions, Li Xiaoxiao immediately felt a sense of joy.

　　"Go directly to Qiuyue Palace." With a hint of joy, Li Xiaoxiao directly instructed the warrior who was driving the carriage.

　　"Understood, Princess." After hearing Li Xiaoxiao's instructions, the warriors from Prince Jin's mansion directly changed the route of the carriage. Instead of heading to Kunyuan Palace, they went directly to Qiuyue Palace.

　　Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Junyao had already changed their route to head to Qiuyue Palace. At this time, in Qiuyue Palace, Li Wanqiu, who had returned here, had already bathed, changed clothes, and came to the small attic of Qiuyue Palace.

　　During the six months in the Shenwei training camp, Li Wanqiu, the princess of the imperial dynasty, had also experienced a lot of hardships and looked not very energetic. But after bathing and changing clothes, Li Wanqiu regained her radiance.

　　Wearing a white dress, she looked ethereal and very charming.

　　"Wanqiu, you are becoming more and more beautiful, and you have reached the age for arranged marriage. I wonder who your father will marry you to. Whoever it is, that person will be so lucky." In the small attic of Qiuyue Palace, there was already a handsome man sitting there. When he saw Li Wanqiu coming out, the man immediately spoke gently.

　　The young man was wearing a yellow Qianlong brocade robe, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. He was fierce yet gentle at the same time. He was majestic yet unfriendly, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

　　Hearing the young man's joke, Li Wanqiu smiled slightly, took light steps, walked to the opposite side of the man, and sat down gracefully.

　　"Your Majesty, you are joking. The palace is not at peace, the dynasty is not at peace, and the entire Tianyuan is not at peace. How can Wanqiu have the mind to think about these things?" Pouring a cup of tea for the young man opposite, Li Wanqiu spoke slowly.

　　The small attic of Qiuyue Palace is independent of the main hall, on the left side of the main hall, connected to the main hall, and only three stories high, but the layout is extremely elegant. There is a couch by the window, and on the couch there is a small mahogany table, and the tempting tea aroma wafts from the teapot on the small table.

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, the young man also showed a worried look on his face. "For the matter of the void gap, we can only rely on father and uncle. We are completely powerless now. We can only help father and uncle deal with some matters within the dynasty. Unfortunately, we are still restricted step by step."

　　This young man was the eighth prince of the Tianyuan Dynasty, Li Yan.

　　After hearing what Li Yan said, Li Wanqiu's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he slowly said, "The Crown Prince and the Third Prince are obsessed with power and have no regard for the people of the world. Under such circumstances, my brother should take the lead and eliminate those two useless people, stabilize the dynasty and Tianyuan Continent, and then go to help my father and uncle."

　　Although the Tianyuan Dynasty seemed to be prosperous on the surface, it actually had many crises. This was further demonstrated by what Li Wanqiu had encountered in the Shenwei training camp. The monsters in the void could actually enter the Shenwei training camp directly, which meant that the current situation in the Tianyuan Continent was definitely not optimistic.

　　"Eliminate useless people? That's easier said than done." Li Yan showed a helpless bitter smile, shook his head, and said, "By the way, let's not talk about this anymore. Wanqiu, you just came back from the Shenwei training camp today. You didn't have a good rest, so you asked someone to call me over. What's the matter?"

　　He also knew that the problems currently facing the Tianyuan Dynasty could not be solved overnight. Without worrying about these problems, Li Wanqiu simply waved his hand, and suddenly, a space ring appeared in his hand.

　　"Royal brother, there are 120,000 taels of gold in this ring. It was obtained by Zhou Yun from the Black Flame Continent. I asked him for it. I know that the military expenditure of the front line you are in charge of is tight recently, so I will give you this money." Putting the space ring on the table, Li Wanqiu said calmly.

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, even Li Yan, who was calm, couldn't help but be shocked.

　　"One hundred and twenty thousand taels of gold! One million and two hundred thousand taels of silver? How could Zhou Yun have so much money? And why would he give you this money?" Instead of taking the space ring directly, Li Yan looked at Li Wanqiu in surprise and asked.

　　Li Wanqiu smiled slightly and said, "Zhou Yun and I defeated a powerful nobleman who dominated a region in the Black Flame Continent. We found this money in his mansion. Zhou Yun also kept some for himself, but most of it is still here."

　　Li Wanqiu had already explained it, and Li Yan finally nodded and took the space ring on the table.

　　Li Yan already knew that Zhou Yun won the first place in the Shenwei Training Camp. Moreover, Xie Changtian, who had just joined the Shenwei Training Camp, also found him after leaving the training camp and suggested that he must recruit Zhou Yun under his command.

　　The son of a small servant was able to enter the training camp as the last one, and kept chasing for six months, surpassing Li Wanqiu all the way, and finally ranked first. Zhou Yun's story was enough to interest Li Yan.

　　Li Yan knew about Li Wanqiu, the emperor's younger sister. Li Wanqiu's cultivation was definitely the best among the younger generation. Moreover, after coming out of the Shenwei training camp this time, Li Wanqiu had actually reached the middle stage of the martial saint. Such a growth rate could not be simply described as stunning.

　　Now, Zhou Yun has actually surpassed Li Wanqiu, and is even younger. Perhaps, such a person will really become the most indispensable helper under him in the future.

　　"I understand. When Zhou Yun comes out of the Shenwei training camp and visits you, please notify me and I will come over too." After putting away the space ring handed to him by Li Wanqiu, Li Yan was silent for a moment and spoke slowly.

　　At this moment, a gentle voice came from the bottom of the small attic, "The third princess, Princess Yuling, and Princess Yuyao are here to visit and are waiting outside the palace gate."

　　Hearing the report from below, Li Yan immediately stood up and said, "Wanqiu, I'll go back to the palace first. Thank you for this time." Raising the space ring in his hand, a smile appeared on Li Yan's face.

　　"I'll see my brother off." With a faint smile on his face, Li Wanqiu stood up and sent Li Yan out.

　　Chapter 199 Lin Hailong comes out of retreat

　　The buildings in the palace are magnificent and complex, so it is impossible for there to be only one passage.

　　Moreover, there are often some secret passages in the places where people of noble status live, which allow these royal people to communicate with each other quietly.

　　There is such a passage in Qiuyue Palace, which is secretly connected to Huayang Palace where the eighth prince Li Yan lives.

　　Li Yan left Qiuyue Palace through this passage, so Li Yan did not meet Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Junyao.

　　After seeing off Li Yan, Li Wanqiu's personal maid tactfully invited Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Junyao to come in.

　　"You two, the princess invites you." Walking into the front garden of Qiuyue Palace, the maid respectfully spoke to Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Junyao who were standing there.

　　"Sister, please lead the way." Li Xiaoxiao was in a good mood and seemed very lively at the moment. She smiled at the palace maid and spoke directly.

　　"Please follow me." Nodding, the maid turned around and walked forward.

　　Pulling Lin Junyao's hand, Li Xiaoxiao said easily, "Junyao, let's go over too."

　　"Yeah." Nodding, Lin Junyao obediently followed Li Xiaoxiao and walked towards the exquisite and magnificent palace in front of her.

　　After passing through the front garden, the two came to the small garden of Qiuyue Palace. Instead of going to the back hall of the palace, the maid led them directly to the small attic in the garden.

　　"You two, the third princess is waiting in the attic. Please go straight up." Stopping under the small attic, the maid bowed slightly to Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Junyao and spoke respectfully.

　　"Thank you." Li Xiaoxiao had been to Li Wanqiu's palace more than once, so she was naturally very familiar with it. Over the years, she had never entered the back hall of Qiuyue Palace. Naturally, she knew that the royal descendants had many secrets, and Li Wanqiu was no exception. She was not surprised at all by such an arrangement.

　　However, Lin Junyao seemed a little reserved. She looked in the direction of the back hall of Qiuyue Palace, then followed Li Wanqiu up to the small attic.

　　Li Xiaoxiao was very familiar with this small attic, and took Lin Junyao's hand and went up to the third floor with ease.

　　This small building is not very big, and each floor is only 40 square meters, but the layout of the small building is very delicate, especially the third floor, which has windows on three sides, transparent and bright, with a constant breeze blowing. Just staying here can make you feel the pleasant and comfortable feeling. This small building is indeed a cozy place to relax.

　　Three cushions have been placed on the couch under the east window. Li Wanqiu, dressed in white and with a fairy-like temperament, is sitting there. The teapot in front of her is soaked with a hint of tea fragrance. Obviously, this is the drink she prepares for her guests.

　　"Sister Wanqiu, you're back!" Seeing Li Wanqiu, Li Xiaoxiao immediately let go of Lin Junyao's hand, ran up to her, and held Li Wanqiu's arm, appearing extremely intimate.

　　From childhood to adulthood, Li Wanqiu was like her own sister, so the relationship between the two was naturally special.

　　But it was the first time that Lin Junyao met the mysterious third princess of the current dynasty, so naturally she would not be so ignorant of the rules.

　　Lin Junyao walked forward slowly, knelt slightly and saluted, and said respectfully, "Junyao greets the third princess."

　　Ever since the last forced marriage incident, Lin Junyao no longer referred to herself by her title Yuyao. She knew how she got the title of princess, and this title always reminded her of bad memories, so Lin Junyao naturally would not use it anymore.

　　Still sitting quietly on the cushion, Li Wanqiu tapped Li Xiaoxiao's forehead lovingly, motioning her to sit opposite him, then turned to Lin Junyao.

　　"Jun Yao, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Although Li Wanqiu was a little surprised as to why Lin Jun Yao came with Li Xiaoxiao, he still managed to be polite enough.

　　"Thank you, Third Princess." After paying her respects again, Lin Junyao sat very politely next to Li Xiaoxiao, opposite Li Wanqiu.

　　The two of them had already sat down, and the aroma of the fragrant tea in the teapot on the table had reached its strongest point.

　　Gently picking up the teapot, Li Wanqiu first filled Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Junyao with fragrant tea, and then poured a cup for herself.

　　Li Wanqiu naturally knew what Li Xiaoxiao wanted to do here, but she was not very clear about Lin Junyao's purpose.

　　After the three of them politely sipped the fragrant tea in their cups, Li Wanqiu put down the cup and spoke to Lin Junyao, "Junyao, if I remember correctly, this is the first time we have met. I wonder what brings you to Qiuyue Palace?"

　　After hearing Li Wanqiu's question, Lin Junyao opened her mouth, but was unable to ask.

　　Seeing Lin Junyao's expression, Li Xiaoxiao immediately spoke carelessly, "Sister Wanqiu, Junyao came with me because I wanted to ask when Zhou Yun would be able to return from the Shenwei training camp. We were both worried to death."

　　"You two?" Li Wanqiu raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Junyao, and spoke in a meaningful tone.

　　"Yes, Sister Wanqiu, in fact, Jun Yao and Zhou Yun have already had a private engagement, and they have been together for many years." Without so many concerns and without thinking that there was anything wrong with this matter, Li Xiaoxiao said it directly.

　　As soon as Li Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Lin Junyao's face immediately turned slightly red, but her watery eyes still insisted on looking at Li Wanqiu quietly, waiting for an answer.

　　Li Wanqiu looked at Lin Junyao, then at Li Xiaoxiao, who looked normal and didn't feel anything was wrong, and shook his head helplessly.

　　Originally, she also supported Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao's affairs, especially after seeing Li Xiaoxiao made a decision. But now Lin Junyao has appeared, and it seems that her status is higher than Li Xiaoxiao. Li Wanqiu naturally feels sorry for Li Xiaoxiao.

　　But seeing that Li Xiaoxiao didn't care at all, Li Wanqiu didn't say anything more.

　　After taking a sip of tea, Li Wanqiu said slowly, "Zhou Yun plans to leave after he has used up the time in his ancient training chamber. He still has about a month and a half left to use the ancient training chamber, and then he will challenge the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace. So, by this calculation, he should be able to come back in fifty days."

　　"Fifty days." Upon hearing Li Wanqiu's words, Lin Junyao's pretty face immediately showed a trace of sadness. They hadn't seen each other for half a year, and they had finally waited until the Shenwei training camp was over, but Zhou Yun still needed fifty days to come back. One could imagine how aggrieved Lin Junyao felt.

　　After experiencing the forced marriage, although she was able to escape danger in the end, Lin Junyao's heart is now extremely fragile. What she needs most at this moment is Zhou Yun to appear in front of her.

　　Whether she wanted to cry or laugh with each other, she needed Zhou Yun to be by her side.

　　The sense of loss and desolation on Lin Junyao's body was extremely obvious. Even Li Wanqiu was moved by her expression.

　　Just from this expression, Li Wanqiu could feel how deep Lin Junyao's feelings for Zhou Yun were.

　　"Jun Yao, don't be sad. I will go to the Duke's Mansion often to accompany you these days. Or, you can move to my house and live for a while, and I will wait for him to come back with you, okay?" Li Xiaoxiao quickly held Lin Jun Yao's hand and kept comforting her.

　　Feeling Li Xiaoxiao's concern, Lin Junyao's expression finally relaxed a little and she nodded with red eyes.

　　Looking at the performance of Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Junyao, Li Wanqiu could only shake his head helplessly, thinking silently in his heart, "This Zhou Yun is really a romantic who flirts with everyone."

　　Lin Junyao went to Qiuyue Palace with Li Xiaoxiao, but did not get the news she wanted. She rejected Li Xiaoxiao's invitation to live in Prince Jin's Mansion for a while and returned to the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion.

　　When she came out, Lin Junyao did not take a carriage, so she still needed Li Xiaoxiao to take her back.

　　Along the way, Li Xiaoxiao comforted Lin Junyao and promised to visit her every day in the future. Lin Junyao was very moved by Li Xiaoxiao's care and accepted Li Xiaoxiao's existence from the bottom of her heart.

　　After the carriage had traveled in the capital for more than half an hour, it finally arrived at the street where the Lin family mansion was located. Compared to the deserted scene when it left, the area in front of the Lin family mansion had become quiet and peaceful at this time.

　　Luxurious carriages were parked in front of the Lin family mansion, and powerful warriors could be seen everywhere, all gathered at the entrance of the Lin family mansion.

　　"What's going on?" Feeling this strange situation, Li Xiaoxiao immediately exclaimed in surprise.

　　At this time, Lin Junyao also lifted the curtain of the carriage. She had no cultivation and could not feel the changes in the warrior's qi, blood and true power like Li Xiaoxiao, but Lin Junyao still heard the noise outside.

　　Amid the noise of the crowd, Lin Junyao vaguely heard the words "old Duke" and "coming out of seclusion".

　　With a look of surprise on her face, Lin Junyao stood up from the carriage and said, "Xiaoxiao, my father has come out from seclusion! That's great!"

　　Speaking of which, Lin Junyao hasn't seen Lin Hailong for more than five years. The last time they met was when she just arrived in Beijing five years ago. At that time, Lin Junyao was only ten years old.

　　After five years of separation, Lin Junyao missed her father particularly strongly, especially the last time she was forced to marry by the Queen in Kunyuan Palace but was rescued by Lin Hailong. Lin Junyao missed her father even more.

　　"The old Duke has come out of confinement? That's great. When Zhou Yun comes back, he can preside over your wedding!" Upon hearing Lin Junyao's words, Li Xiaoxiao's face showed a hint of joy, and she was happy for Lin Junyao from the bottom of her heart.

　　"Xiaoxiao, hurry up." With an excited look on her pretty face, Lin Junyao directly took Li Xiaoxiao's hand, jumped off the carriage, and rushed into the Lin family mansion.

　　Without stopping, Lin Junyao brought Li Xiaoxiao directly to the main hall of the Lin family. If her father came out, he would definitely be here at this time.

　　After passing through the front yard and garden of the Lin family, Lin Junyao finally brought Li Xiaoxiao to the main hall of the mansion. Before she could walk over, Lin Junyao immediately felt a strong pressure coming from the main hall in the distance.

　　"Lin Hailong! Don't be so arrogant. That kid from your family killed so many of our Tianyuan princes' descendants. You promised to give us an explanation after you came out of seclusion. Now you are sitting still. Do you want to go back on your word?"

　　In the lobby, a group of princes and nobles from the Tianyuan Dynasty were filled with righteous indignation and questioned the old man sitting in the middle.

　　"Father!" Seeing the old man sitting in the main seat, Lin Junyao immediately stopped and murmured.

　　Although her voice was very low, the old man at the far end still felt Lin Junyao's arrival. His eyes, which had been closed, slightly opened. The old man looked at Lin Junyao lovingly, and then his aura changed. He said loudly, "Zhou Yun killed your descendants because those useless descendants of yours wanted to touch Zhou Yun. It is normal for warriors to fight to the death. They all brought this upon themselves!"

　　"I have no other attitude towards this matter, except one thing. If you want revenge, go find Zhou Yun yourself. But I, Lin Hailong, want to make it clear in advance that if you fail to take revenge and die in vain, don't blame me, Lin!"

　　Chapter 200 Dynasty Crisis

　　As soon as Lin Hailong's domineering voice fell, all the princes and nobles in the hall jumped up in anger.

　　They were all the people who were killed by Zhou Yun in the Shenwei training camp. They came to the Lin family when this incident just happened. At that time, Lin Juntian promised that he would give them an explanation when Lin Hailong came out of seclusion.

　　Today, Lin Hailong has come out of confinement, but these people did not expect that such an explanation would be waiting for them!

　　"Lin Hailong, don't be so arrogant. You've offended so many of us, I'm afraid you won't have an easy life. Don't worry, with our thirteen princes here, Zhou Yun can't escape unless he never leaves the capital!" Looking at Lin Hailong viciously, a man in his fifties, wearing a red brocade robe, spoke slowly.

　　From his attire, it can be seen that he is also a duke of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　"Haha, let's wait and see whether he is rampant or not. I still say the same thing, if you want to kill Zhou Yun, just go ahead and kill him, as long as you can ensure that you can escape safely." With a faint smile, Lin Hailong spoke slowly.

　　"Hmph! Let's go!" Looking at Lin Hailong's calm and indifferent expression, the leading duke snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the house first.

　　"No need to see you off." Still sitting there, Lin Hailong looked calm and unmoved.

　　The matter had already fallen through, so there was no need for everyone to stay here any longer. In the lobby of the Lin family, nobles and princes filed out one after another, all with gloomy faces. Even the two princesses of the reign, Lin Junyao and Li Xiaoxiao, ignored them and left the Lin family mansion directly.

　　"Jun Yao, come in quickly." All the princes had left the Lin family. At this time, Lin Hailong just stood up from the main seat in the hall. A kind look flashed across his face, and he smiled at Lin Jun Yao.

　　Compared with her excitement just now, a layer of deep worry had already appeared on Lin Junyao's face at this time. She had heard every word of the nobles and dukes just now.

　　Those people actually kept saying that they wanted to kill Zhou Yun!

　　Although she did not know the princes and nobles of the Tianyuan Dynasty, Lin Junyao could tell how powerful these people were just by looking at their attire. If these people worked together to harm Zhou Yun, would Zhou Yun still have a chance of escape?

　　"Dad, tell me, what happened to Zhou Yun? Why are these people looking for trouble with him!" Temporarily forgetting the joy of seeing her father again after more than five years of separation, Lin Junyao ran up to him and asked Lin Hailong with a hint of tears in her voice.

　　To protect Lin Junyao's feelings, Lin Juntian had never told her about the "earth-shattering" things Zhou Yun had done in the Shenwei Training Camp. After Li Xiaoxiao returned from the Shenwei Training Camp, she mostly talked about things between Zhou Yun and her, and did not mention Zhou Yun's brutal killing of many noble heirs in the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　So, until now Lin Junyao still doesn’t know why these princes and nobles want to cause trouble for Zhou Yun.

　　After looking at Lin Juntian beside him and getting an affirmative look, Lin Hailong said to Lin Junyao in a relaxed tone, "Junyao, don't worry. Zhou Yun did very well in the Shenwei training camp. He just killed a few scoundrels. There won't be any problem. As soon as Zhou Yun leaves the training camp, the court will grant him a title. He will be fine."

　　After hearing her father's comfort, Lin Junyao's mood finally stabilized a little. Looking up, Lin Junyao began to carefully look at her father whom she had not seen for more than five years.

　　It seems that Lin Hailong has not changed much in the past five years. He still has a resolute face and warm eyes, which gives people a sense of reliability and peace of mind. Looking at her father, Lin Junyao's heart gradually settled down.

　　"Ah!" Suddenly, as if she thought of something, Lin Junyao cried out softly, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.

　　Lin Junyao suddenly remembered that the feelings between her and Zhou Yun had gradually developed during her father's seclusion, and she had never mentioned it to her father in person until now. But from what he said just now, it seemed that her father already knew about her and Zhou Yun, and did not object.

　　"Daddy, my daughter..." With a blush and embarrassment on her face, Lin Junyao wanted to explain.

　　"It's okay, Xiaotian has already told me everything about you and Zhou Yun. Junyao, the person you chose is very good and worthy of you. Dad agrees with you." Naturally seeing Lin Junyao's embarrassment, Lin Hailong laughed and directly dispelled Lin Junyao's concerns.

　　After hearing what Lin Hailong said, Lin Junyao immediately showed a happy smile on her face, and threw herself into Lin Hailong's arms, "Thank you, Daddy."

　　Lin Junyao hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time, as her mother died young and she hadn't seen her father for many years. Seeing that Lin Hailong didn't object to what was going on between her and Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao finally relaxed completely, and even had a hint of coquettishness.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao throwing herself into her father's arms, Lin Juntian also showed a trace of pity on his face. He knew that Lin Junyao was trying her best to experience the missing fatherly love.

　　Gently stroking Lin Junyao's hair, Lin Hailong turned his head, looked at Lin Juntian beside him, and gave him a look.

　　Seeing his father's eyes, Lin Juntian reacted immediately. He took a few steps forward and said to Li Xiaoxiao who was standing at the edge of the hall, "Princess, please go to Jun Yao's courtyard and wait. I will send Jun Yao there later. I'm sorry."

　　At this moment, Lin Junyao's heart was entirely on her father, and she had no time to care about Li Xiaoxiao. It would undoubtedly be extremely rude to leave Li Xiaoxiao alone here at this time, and Lin Juntian must also express his opinion.

　　Seeing Lin Junyao's happy look, Li Xiaoxiao also showed a smile on her face. She didn't mind at all that Lin Junyao ignored her.

　　"Okay, I'll go over first. Tell Junyao not to worry. I don't have anything to do today, so I can wait a little longer." Apart from her fiery personality, Li Xiaoxiao actually had no other problems. After hearing what Lin Juntian said, although she didn't like the man in front of her, Li Xiaoxiao still responded politely and turned to the direction of Lanxinyuan.

　　Without noticing Li Xiaoxiao's departure, Lin Junyao lay in Lin Hailong's arms for a long time before she raised her head and looked at her father. She said coquettishly, "Daddy, you won't be in seclusion again this time, right?"

　　Over the years, Lin Junyao and Lin Hailong had very limited time together. Previously, it was because Lin Hailong was busy with military affairs and had no time. After returning to the capital, she caught up with this five-year retreat. Lin Junyao was missing a lot of fatherly love. This time, she really didn't want to be away from her father for a long time.

　　Moreover, only if Lin Hailong stayed for a long time would he be able to preside over her wedding with Zhou Yun.

　　After this ordeal, Lin Junyao really didn't want to wait any longer. She wanted to marry Zhou Yun immediately, right after Zhou Yun came out of the Shenwei training camp.

　　"No more." Lin Hailong said lovingly with a slight smile.

　　"That's great, thank you Daddy." After hearing Lin Hailong's answer, Lin Junyao immediately cheered.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao cheering, a hidden heartache flashed in Lin Hailong's eyes.

　　Patting Lin Junyao's little head gently, Lin Hailong said, "Junyao, go back to your yard first. You have left Princess Yuling for a long time. Your brother and I still have some things to discuss. We will have dinner together tonight."

　　"Ah!" Upon hearing Lin Hailong's words, Lin Junyao immediately thought of Li Xiaoxiao whom she had forgotten.

　　She was so focused on talking to Lin Hailong just now that she completely forgot about Li Xiaoxiao.

　　"Dad, I'll go back first." Lin Hailong waved his hand, and Lin Junyao spoke briskly. With her father's return, Lin Junyao felt reassured, as if she had become more active, radiating infinite vitality and beauty.

　　"Go." Lin Hailong spoke gently with a kind smile.

　　After getting her father's approval, Lin Junyao immediately ran out of the main lobby of the Lin family like a happy butterfly and ran towards her own Lanxinyuan.

　　As Lin Junyao left, the atmosphere in the room immediately became a little gloomy.

　　"Xiaotian, come with me." Looking at Lin Juntian beside him, Lin Hailong spoke slowly. After leaving a word, Lin Hailong turned around and walked towards the back hall.

　　With a calm expression, Lin Juntian nodded, followed his father into the back hall.

　　Sitting behind the hidden screen in the back hall, Lin Juntian poured a cup of tea for his father before speaking, "Father, you won't stay in the capital for too long this time."

　　Lin Juntian's eyesight was much better than Lin Junyao's, so he naturally saw the guilt and helplessness that flashed across Lin Hailong's eyes just now. Just by looking at his eyes, Lin Juntian knew that his father would definitely not be able to stay in the capital for too long this time.

　　After taking a sip of tea, Lin Hailong's expression became calm and solemn. He said quietly, "I can only stay for a month at most. The situation with His Majesty and the General is very bad. Now that I have come out of seclusion, I naturally have to go and help them."

　　The great general that Lin Hailong mentioned could only be the pillar figure of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the mighty General Li Jing.

　　After hearing what Lin Hailong said, Lin Juntian also showed a thoughtful expression on his face. After a moment, he spoke carefully, "Father, the emperor and the general have been in Tianhuang Mountain for three years and have not come out yet. What are they doing?"

　　Emperor Li Zhi of the Tianyuan Dynasty and the mighty general Li Jing have disappeared for three years. This has almost become a taboo topic in the entire dynasty. Although the entire dynasty is still running smoothly relying on a strong and strict ruling system, everyone feels that the Tianyuan Dynasty is currently facing a huge crisis.

　　Although most people don’t know where this crisis comes from, the feeling is already very strong.

　　As the son of a powerful duke, Lin Juntian was very clear about the movements of the royal family. He was also one of the few people who knew that the emperor and the mighty general were in Tianhuang Mountain.

　　A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and Lin Hailong spoke slowly, "Xiaotian, this is not something you should know. It is not a secret you can listen to. In this month, I will help you and Xue Yin get married. You can send a letter to contact her and come back now. Don't ask about other things."

　　"Okay." After Lin Hailong finished speaking, Lin Juntian could only nod silently.

　　Lin Juntian was naturally very happy to be able to marry Fang Xueyin, after all, this was something he had been looking forward to for many years. However, under such circumstances, knowing that the dynasty was in great crisis, Lin Juntian always felt that this wedding did not seem so perfect.

　　After leaving these words, Lin Hailong stood up and entered his bedroom. After watching Lin Hailong's back disappear, Lin Juntian sighed, stood up, and left the main house of the Lin family mansion.

　　Chapter 201 Asking

　　While the capital was in a commotion because of Lin Hailong's arrogant words after coming out of retreat and Zhou Yun's winning the first place in the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun had already started his own training in the ancient training chamber of the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　"I still have one and a half months to use the ancient training chamber. Since I have decided not to go out to visit Jun Yao so early, I must make good use of this time." Zhou Yun sat cross-legged quietly on the yellow ground of the ancient training chamber, muttering to himself.

　　Zhou Yun knew the significance of this training. Now that he had broken through the Martial Saint realm, he needed to work hard to consolidate his cultivation. Zhou Yun also knew that after he left the Shenwei Training Camp, he would definitely encounter a series of dangers. He was not stupid, and he knew deeply that even if he won the first place in the Shenwei Training Camp, the matter of killing so many noble heirs in the training camp would not be easily resolved.

　　Those dynasty nobles whose offspring he killed would certainly cause him a lot of trouble.

　　Although Zhou Yun's cultivation level was improving at a rocket speed, he knew that in terms of real strength, he was still too weak.

　　After coming back this time, Zhou Yun's feelings have changed when facing General Hu Pen. Now he can vaguely feel how big the gap is between himself and General Hu Pen, instead of the previous feeling of being unable to detect anything.

　　This also made Zhou Yun further strengthen his determination.

　　This time he offended many nobles, and based on his current behavior, he has already stood on the side of the weakest prince in the battle for the throne, Prince Li Yan. How the remaining two princes will treat him can almost be guessed with one's toes.

　　Especially when he brutally killed the supporters of the other two princes.

　　Even if he didn't think about these things, Zhou Yun knew that in the future he would probably not be able to easily get such an opportunity to practice peacefully for more than a month without having to worry about anything.

　　After sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Yun, who was sitting cross-legged, let out a long breath and calmed his mind completely. As soon as his mind relaxed, Zhou Yun's condensed body stood up on the black continent in the world crystal.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun's condensed body was still standing in front of the big pit where the poisonous Soul-Locking Incense was lurking, but this time Zhou Yun entered the boundary crystal space, not for the Soul-Locking Incense.

　　Turning around, Zhou Yun quickly ran towards the giant tree where he was originally.

　　After about an incense stick of time, Zhou Yun, who was running quickly, had returned to the foot of the towering tree.

　　Standing there, Zhou Yun clasped his fists slightly towards the giant tree and said, "Senior, Zhou Yun comes to ask for guidance."

　　Now, Zhou Yun has entered the realm of Martial Saint. Although he wants to continue practicing, his heart is full of confusion. He has no idea what realm is after Martial Saint and how to improve.

　　The Hydra demon had said before that he would guide him in his cultivation in the future. In Zhou Yun's opinion, the next month or so is the best time.

　　Boom!!!

　　More than a minute had passed since Zhou Yun finished speaking when the inky black area beneath his feet began to vibrate violently. Feeling the vibration, Zhou Yun knew that the Hydra was about to show up!

　　Sure enough, the next moment, the ground in front of the giant tree suddenly cracked open, and the body of the nine-headed snake demon appeared in front of Zhou Yun.

　　After not seeing it for a long time, the nine-headed snake demon brought greater pressure to Zhou Yun than last time. Its body was more condensed, and the dark red color on its torso was even more shocking.

　　Seeing the nine-headed snake demon, Zhou Yun once again clasped his fists respectfully, "Senior, in the next month and a half, I will have the opportunity to practice with peace of mind to prepare for future battles. I hope you can give me some guidance."

　　The last time Zhou Yun followed the instructions of the Hydra Demon and fused the Black Flame Crystal, the Hydra Demon said that only one Black Flame Crystal could be fused and if he wanted to fuse it again in the future, he would need his guidance. Therefore, although Zhou Yun had more Black Flame Crystals at that time and obviously felt that he could withstand more, he did not rush into the fusion.

　　The huge body was lying there, with the eight heads on both sides of the Hydra hanging lazily on its body. Only the head in the center was swaying slightly. Although its eyes were closed, it was still paying attention to Zhou Yun.

　　"Hehehe, you are young, but you have a strong mind, good talent, and more importantly, you are humble and polite. You are indeed a promising talent." The Hydra sneered twice. Although the Hydra demon did not speak, its low and cold voice had already been transmitted.

　　"Thank you, senior." Zhou Yun immediately expressed his gratitude after receiving the praise from the Hydra Demon.

　　Not paying attention to Zhou Yun's thanks, the Hydra Demon remained silent for a moment, then turned to Zhou Yun and said, "Zhou Yun, do you know what realm is above the so-called Martial Saint realm?"

　　Zhou Yun's eyes lit up immediately after hearing the words of the nine-headed snake demon. This was the thing Zhou Yun wanted to know most urgently. His cultivation had reached the Martial Saint realm, but although he knew there was a realm above it, he didn't even know the name of the realm. How could he cultivate?

　　The Hydra Demon said this, obviously wanting to tell him, so Zhou Yun was naturally excited, "Junior doesn't know, please teach me, senior." Zhou Yun bowed politely and spoke humbly.

　　"Hmm..." After a long while, the Hydra Demon snorted softly and spoke slowly, "In fact, in the Primal Chaos Continent, and even in the Primal Chaos Void brought about by the Chaos Shattering, the term Martial Saint does not exist at all. Only those people with very low talents in the third-rate continent would create such a saying, thinking that the so-called 'Martial Saint' is the highest in martial arts. They are just frogs in the well, which is really ridiculous."

　　The words of the Hydra Demon flowed out slowly, and Zhou Yun did not interrupt, but just listened attentively.

　　“In the entire chaotic void, the so-called Yi Jing cleansing of the marrow is actually just the beginning of cultivation. Some races with outstanding talents can directly reach the realm of Yi Jing cleansing of the marrow when their babies are born.” The next moment, the voice of the Hydra demon was heard again.

　　The Hydra seemed to have said this once before, but this time Zhou Yun heard it more realistically and was more certain of it, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

　　"Senior, how is this possible? My cultivation improvement speed is already considered extremely fast in the Tianyuan Continent, but it took me more than five years to reach the realm of Yi Jin Xi Sui. How can someone be born with this level? How can one reach this level without practicing?" Zhou Yun asked with horror and doubt.

　　The dark red rough skin on the huge snake head in the center twitched slightly, revealing a very real disdainful expression. The nine-headed snake demon asked, "Although you have been practicing for five years, your cultivation has improved rapidly. I'm afraid it's also because you got the Chaos Crystal, right? Let me tell you clearly, if you didn't have this Chaos Crystal, with your own talent, you might not be able to cleanse your marrow even after twenty years of hard work. This is the effect brought by the Chaos Crystal, right?"

　　"Yes." Although the words of the Hydra Demon were sharp and harsh, Zhou Yun had no choice but to accept it. Zhou Yun began to practice alone at the age of ten, and he had not yet reached the bone training stage until he was fifteen. If he did not have this realm crystal, Zhou Yun would not be able to reach the realm of Martial Saint even after twenty years.

　　“Hehe.” After hearing Zhou Yun’s admission, the nine-headed snake demon immediately snorted twice and said, “The reason why you cultivated so quickly after obtaining this Chaos Crystal is all because of the power of this Chaos Crystal itself. This Chaos Crystal was condensed from the center of the ancient Chaos Continent before it was shattered. Whether it is true power, spiritual power, or even star power, it is extremely sufficient, so you can cultivate so quickly.”

　　"But do you know? Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Chaos Continent was extremely vast. When it was broken, the entire Chaos Continent split into thousands of crystals, which scattered throughout the Chaos Void. The crystals that exploded near the center of the Chaos Continent are much stronger and purer than those at the edge. The previous Black Flame Continent and the Tianyuan Continent where you are now are actually the extremely marginal areas of the Chaos Continent. The power of these two continents is weak and the vitality is not strong, so it is naturally difficult for the people living in them to improve. But imagine, if there are some people who live on a continent similar to the Chaos Crystal you are in now, what kind of power would they have?"

　　"Similar to the Chaos Crystal!" After hearing what the Hydra said, Zhou Yun was immediately stunned.

　　At this time, he had already accepted the Hydra Demon's statement that the ancient chaotic continent was broken. According to this statement, the previous Black Flame Continent, including the Tianyuan Continent, were actually extremely marginal and barren lands.

　　But if there is a group of people who have been living in a space similar to the boundary crystal in his hand, what will be the consequences?

　　When Zhou Yun got this piece of boundary crystal, he felt it. In the inky space of this boundary crystal, even if he did not practice at all, but just stayed here and breathed, his cultivation would increase extremely fast, and he would become sharp-eyed and sharp-eared without realizing it, and figure out some difficult points in cultivation.

　　It is indeed as the nine-headed snake demon said, if there are some continents in the entire chaotic void as pure as the piece of boundary crystal in his hand, then it is entirely possible that the people there are born directly at the realm of Martial Saint.

　　"Have you figured it out?" Seeing the expression on Zhou Yun's face constantly changing and finally relieved, the Hydra Cube spoke.

　　"Yeah." Zhou Yun nodded and said. Although what the Hydra Demon said was too horrifying, it was still reasonable after all. Wasn't the crystal in Zhou Yun's hand a relatively high one among the crystals that emerged after the Chaos Continent was shattered?

　　The giant snake head nodded slightly, and the nine-headed snake demon spoke slowly, "Okay, since you have accepted that the so-called "Martial Saint" realm is only the beginning of martial arts practice, then I will tell you about the real division of martial arts practice in the Chaos Continent or the Chaos Void."

　　Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun immediately held his breath and focused. This was what he wanted to know most.

　　"The practice of martial arts is about discovering one's own potential and then achieving the process of controlling space, the world, the void, the star field, and even the sea of ​​​​stars. From low to high, it is divided into five major realms: realm master, realm master, realm lord, realm king, and realm emperor. There are even higher realms above these five realms, but you don’t need to know them now." A solemn expression appeared on the snake head, and the nine-headed snake demon spoke slowly.

　　"Realm Master, Realm Master, Realm Lord, Realm King, Realm Emperor!" Zhou Yun silently recited these domineering names of realms in his heart. He felt that a window had opened in front of him. Zhou Yun's heart became extremely fanatical at this moment.

　　Chapter 202 Welcoming and Sending Off

　　Although he understood the next level, Zhou Yun still had no idea how to practice.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately asked, "Senior, last time you said that I had not yet reached the realm master stage, so what should I do now to reach the realm master stage?"

　　"The Realm Master stage?" After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the Nine-Headed Snake Demon immediately snorted coldly, with a hint of admiration in his tone, "I don't know how you got the ability you have now, kid. Although your cultivation is not yet at the Realm Master stage, your actual ability has already far exceeded it. Now is not the time to guide you. You stay here and practice with peace of mind to improve your own true strength. Remember, don't rely on the Black Flame Crystal, but rely on your own practice, improve little by little, and come back to me in a month."

　　After the Hydra Demon finished speaking, Zhou Yun's face showed some doubts.

　　"Your cultivation is not yet at the realm master stage, but your ability has already far exceeded it?" Zhou Yun was very surprised and confused by the words of the Hydra Demon.

　　What did the Hydra Demon mean? Did he mean that his actual combat ability had surpassed that of the Realm Master?

　　Zhou Yun was not completely clear about this, but if he thought about it realistically, if the Luo Tian he encountered in the Black Flame Continent was at the Realm of a Realm Master, then if Zhou Yun fought him one-on-one, he would definitely be the winner, and it wouldn't be too difficult.

　　In this way, Zhou Yun's current combat strength has indeed surpassed that of a warrior at the realm stage.

　　But to say it is far beyond that is a bit too exaggerated.

　　"I understand. I will come to bother you again in a month." Although he did not fully understand the meaning of the Hydra Demon's words, Zhou Yun still decided to do as he was told.

　　After all, even he himself knows now that after entering the Martial Saint stage, Zhou Yun's specific realm still remains at the early stage of Martial Saint. If he wants to reach the middle stage of Martial Saint or the peak of Martial Saint, what he needs to do is to practice with peace of mind and constantly improve his strength.

　　This kind of improvement within the same realm does not require any comprehension, only hard practice.

　　"Yeah." Nodding, the nine-headed snake demon's body immediately began to sink as the inky earth shook, and soon disappeared in front of Zhou Yun.

　　The surroundings once again entered a state of almost still tranquility, with only the occasional swaying branches of that giant tree.

　　Please take a deep breath, Zhou Yun slightly bent his knees, raised his arms, tucked in his chest and waist, looked forward, and assumed a standard Wanxiang Leizhuang posture.

　　During his long practice, Zhou Yun had already concluded that the longer one stood on the Wanxiang Thunder Posture, the greater the improvement would be. The generated thunder and lightning true power would slowly accumulate and become stronger, and the effect would be better in the later stages.

　　In the boundary crystal space, Zhou Yun had already assumed the posture of the Universal Thunder Posture, and in the ancient training chamber of the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun's original body had also assumed the same posture.

　　Suddenly, blue lightning began to condense on Zhou Yun's body.

　　The Hydra Demon's advice to Zhou Yun was that he should try his best to improve his own strength in this month. Zhou Yun naturally followed his advice. During this month, Zhou Yun hardly moved at all, and he kept improving his strength in a standing posture.

　　After standing still for a long time, Zhou Yun gradually felt that his feet seemed to have been buried deeply in the ground. In his mind, a substantial sensing force unconsciously extended to the ground along with Zhou Yun's legs.

　　After applying the detection ability of the Heavenly Spiritual Veins to standing still, Zhou Yun immediately felt that his body was more stable, as if even if eight horses were pulling him, his body would not move at all.

　　Feeling this new experience, Zhou Yun immediately felt a sense of surprise in his heart.

　　He has been practicing martial arts for quite some time, so he naturally knows that the more stable a person's stance is, the more he can support and exert his strength in high-level battles.

　　A person without roots will never be able to win in a battle of equal strength.

　　Feeling this change, Zhou Yun did not show any joy on his face, because he still had several hours left before he could stand for a full month, and now was still the time to persevere.

　　Zhou Yun tried hard to relax, calmed his mind again, and continued to practice.

　　Sizzle! !

　　As Zhou Yun's heart calmed down, the blue electric lights on his body immediately became more violent.

　　In this violent lightning, a layer of purple halo began to spread slowly with Zhou Yun's Dantian Qi Sea as the center. This purple electric halo slowly formed a mysterious light shield, looming in Zhou Yun's body, and even Zhou Yun himself did not notice it.

　　In the Shenwei training camp, Zhou Yun was practicing hard in the ancient training chamber. He had not moved a step for a whole month, and he was in a state of silence. At this time, the Lin family mansion in the capital was a completely different scene.

　　Big red wedding characters were posted in every conspicuous place, and the whole mansion was decorated with lights and colors, creating a scene of joy and prosperity. Guests came and went in an endless stream, making the mansion very lively.

　　Today is the wedding day of Lin Juntian, the son of Duke Pingnan, and Fang Xueyin, the daughter of Marquis Qingshan.

　　Although the Lin family offended a large number of princes and nobles of the Tianyuan Dynasty because of Zhou Yun's affairs, Lin Hailong had accumulated power in the Tianyuan Dynasty for a long time. Except for those princes and nobles whose offspring were directly killed by Zhou Yun, most of the princes and nobles in the capital still came to the Lin family's mansion.

　　There was a chorus of congratulations in the mansion. The two old stewards of the Lin family had been waiting at the door of the mansion early. Even Lin Junyao, the newly-crowned princess of the current dynasty, was there in person to greet the guests.

　　"You are Jun Yao, right? Haha, you are really mysterious. You have been in Beijing for so many years, but you have never come out for a walk. It makes me, an old man, see you for the first time now. You are worthy of being the daughter of Old Lin. Among the many noble ladies in Beijing, I am afraid that Jun Yao can be ranked in the top three. You are both talented and beautiful." Among the welcoming and seeing off, a fifty-year-old man in a blue brocade robe stopped in front of the Lin family mansion and spoke a few more words to Lin Jun Yao.

　　This old man is an old friend of Lin Hailong. They had worked together in Nanhai before and had close ties with the Lin family. Although Lin Junyao had never seen this man, she had heard about him from her father.

　　"Uncle Chen, thank you for your kind words. My father often mentions you. Thank you for coming here today. Please come in and take a seat." With a warm smile on her face, Lin Junyao spoke obediently.

　　Today's wedding, the Lin family is the host family, so there must be someone of sufficient weight to welcome the guests. As a duke, Lin Hailong naturally cannot personally greet everyone at the door, and Lin Juntian is the protagonist today, so naturally he cannot personally greet people at the door, so this heavy responsibility naturally falls on Lin Junyao's shoulders.

　　Apart from the time she attended the Lanting Festival, this was Lin Junyao's second time to appear in Shangjing City.

　　The last time she was seen at the Lanting Festival, apart from the royal ladies, the only people who saw her were the common people of Shangjing City. But this time it was obviously different. Lin Junyao actually appeared in the aristocratic circle of Shangjing City.

　　When she appeared, Lin Junyao's beautiful appearance and calm and gentle temperament immediately attracted everyone's attention.

　　After hearing what Lin Junyao said, Chen Tianyu did not rush into the Lin family mansion, but continued to smile and said to Lin Junyao, "Junyao, you should not be married yet. If possible, why not get to know my son more? Our two families are also old friends, I believe Old Lin will not refuse."

　　Chen Tianyu and Lin Hailong are old partners from the Nanhai days. They basically retired at the same time. Moreover, they are both dukes of the dynasty with equal status. Generally speaking, this matter is very appropriate.

　　Behind Chen Tianyu, a young man in his twenties was standing there quietly. He was wearing a red brocade robe. He was handsome and had an extraordinary demeanor. At this moment, he was also looking at Lin Junyao quietly. The desire and love in his eyes were self-evident.

　　Her face flushed slightly, and Lin Junyao smiled gently, "Uncle Chen, Junyao is already married. I can only remember your kindness in my heart." As she spoke, Lin Junyao bowed slightly, showing great courtesy.

　　Upon hearing this, the young man behind Chen Tianyu immediately looked gloomy.

　　"Hahaha." Chen Tianyu laughed out loud for a few times. He didn't mind, but said cheerfully, "It turns out that Jun Yao already has a good partner. That's really rude of me. Then I'll wait to drink Jun Yao's wedding wine. It's a blessing to be able to marry you."

　　After leaving a word, Chen Tianyu turned around and took his son into the Lin family mansion.

　　This kind of thing is not the first time that it has happened today. Even those who are not close to the Lin family have not proposed marriage directly to her, they have all paid great attention to Lin Junyao.

　　In their opinion, Lin Junyao was of superb appearance, and her talent and temperament were also top-notch. Coupled with the Lin family's huge power, if they could marry Lin Junyao into their mansion, it would be a good thing no matter how they looked at it. This also led to Lin Junyao's little trouble today.

　　After seeing Chen Tianyu off, Li Xiaoxiao, who was behind Lin Junyao, immediately came up and poked her teasingly, pouting and saying, "Junyao, you say my appearance is not worse than yours, right? In fact, I'm even prettier than you. Why don't so many people like me?"

　　As Lin Junyao's best friend, Li Xiaoxiao also came to the Lin family early today to help Lin Junyao welcome and see off guests. Seeing that almost all the young men who came to the Lin family to congratulate more or less expressed their admiration for Lin Junyao, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

　　In terms of appearance and family background, she is no worse than Lin Junyao, but she is not as popular as Lin Junyao, and Zhou Yun likes Lin Junyao more. Why is that?

　　After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, a trace of helplessness immediately appeared on Lin Junyao's face. "Xiaoxiao, I'm already very tired today, please stop making trouble. What's the point of having more people like us? We are all women, we just need to keep our men, why bother with what's happening outside?"

　　Now, Lin Junyao has already tacitly accepted the relationship between Li Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yun, and she couldn't help but remind him when she spoke. In Lin Junyao's opinion, since Li Xiaoxiao wanted to accompany Zhou Yun, she should be devoted to him, and she should not be moved even if many people like her outside.

　　Naturally, she understood what Lin Junyao meant. Li Xiaoxiao curled her lips helplessly and muttered, "I know that too. I'm just a little angry. So many people like you and ignore me, even Zhou Yun. He likes you more."

　　"Okay, stop complaining. Prince Jinghai is here and we are busy." At this time, a gorgeous carriage also stopped in front of the Lin Mansion. Seeing the carriage, Lin Junyao immediately left a word to Li Xiaoxiao, and turned around to greet him.

　　Chapter 203 Zhou Yun's Meridian Strength

　　Stamping her feet, Li Xiaoxiao followed Lin Junyao and began to help her with the reception.

　　In fact, what Li Xiaoxiao said just now was just a bit of a petty remark. Although she couldn't understand why she was not as good as Lin Junyao, she would not be dissatisfied with Lin Junyao because of this.

　　As time went by, the Lin family's mansion became more and more lively. However, amidst this hustle and bustle, several key hosts of today's event were nowhere to be seen.

　　Lin Hailong, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying did not appear anywhere.

　　It is now the beginning of summer and the temperature in the north has risen significantly. The attack of the Hulun Dynasty in the north has become fierce again. Qingshan Hou, who is in charge of the northern front, is busy with military affairs and did not attend this wedding.

　　In other words, excluding Lin Junyao who was greeting everyone at the door, the main figures of this wedding have not shown up yet, which makes everyone feel a little strange.

　　Naturally, everyone didn't know that at this time Lin Hailong was giving his final instructions to Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin alone.

　　In a secret room deep in the Lin family mansion, Lin Hailong was sitting there quietly, while opposite him, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin, both dressed in formal attire, were standing respectfully.

　　"Father, are you leaving right after the wedding?" Looking at Lin Hailong sitting there, Lin Juntian spoke with some disappointment.

　　Nodding silently, Lin Hailong said, "The emperor has sent me a letter saying that the situation over there is not too good, I have to go there. Xiaotian, Xueyin, your wedding has been delayed until now, it is your fault. Originally, Xueyin had returned more than ten days ago, and we should have held it earlier for you. But because of Junyao, it can only be postponed until now."

　　Lin Juntian could understand Lin Hailong's words. After the wedding, Lin Hailong would leave again, and it was unknown how long it would take for him to come back. Originally, Lin Hailong had promised Lin Junyao that he would stay at home more this time, but he didn't expect to break his promise again.

　　Lin Juntian knew that Lin Junyao wanted to wait until after his wedding with Fang Xueyin so that his father could preside over her affairs with Zhou Yun. But now, he was afraid that it would be delayed for a long time again.

　　Lin Hailong delayed the wedding until now because he wanted to reduce Lin Junyao's sad time. After the wedding, he would be busy with many things, and being busy could make Lin Junyao temporarily forget that she hadn't seen her father for several days.

　　When she found out that Lin Hailong had left, Zhou Yun would be back soon. At that time, Zhou Yun could comfort Lin Junyao. In this way, Lin Junyao would be sad for a lot less time.

　　Although she has no cultivation, Lin Junyao is the most precious treasure of the entire Lin family.

　　"Father, Xue Yin and I don't care about these. Don't worry, go and help the emperor and the general. Xue Yin and I will take good care of Jun Yao. But you have to be extremely careful too. Although I don't know what happened in Tianhuang Mountain, even the emperor and the general find it difficult, so it must be extremely dangerous. I hope you can take care of yourself." Looking at Lin Hailong sitting there, Lin Juntian's eyes showed a little red.

　　Although Lin Juntian currently holds an important position in the court, is respected and looked up to, and does not encounter much resistance in anything he does, he knows that all this is actually caused by Lin Hailong.

　　Now, he is not the pillar of the family.

　　Thinking that his father was already over 50 years old and had to go to a dangerous place, Lin Juntian naturally felt uncomfortable.

　　Standing up and patting Lin Juntian's shoulder gently, Lin Hailong smiled and said, "Xiaotian, you have done very well. When I was your age, I didn't have such achievements. You and Xue Yin are together, and you two should support each other. Xue Yin's talent in martial arts is far superior to yours, but you should not be discouraged and work hard to develop your strengths. People like you are also very important in the dynasty."

　　"My son will remember this." After hearing Lin Hailong's words, Lin Juntian finally calmed down a little.

　　"Okay, the guests outside must be waiting impatiently, let's go out." The solemn and worried expression on Lin Hailong's face had completely disappeared. Next up was the wedding of his son Lin Juntian, so he would naturally put in his best effort.

　　Seeing that Lin Hailong had left, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin looked at each other deeply, stood up holding hands, followed Lin Hailong and walked out of the secret room.

　　At the Lin family mansion, the wedding of Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin officially began with the appearance of the three people. At this time, Zhou Yun's cultivation had reached the most critical moment.

　　This time, Zhou Yun stood in the stance for a full thirty days. The lightning power and true energy surrounding his body had become extremely powerful. Although there were still three hours left before a full month, Zhou Yun could no longer simply stand in the stance. Instead, he had to steadily absorb the power generated by this standing.

　　Standing there, Zhou Yun's body was slightly raised, and the extent of his legs bending was not as great as when he was standing in a stance, while his chest became higher, allowing air to flow into his body more smoothly.

　　Then, Zhou Yun began to take deep and long breaths. Along with such breathing, the powerful lightning force surrounding Zhou Yun began to decompose and was absorbed into his body bit by bit.

　　After the previous few times of practice, Zhou Yun has concluded that after such a long period of practice, one must not stop suddenly, but must proceed slowly, absorbing the power condensed from the long-term practice little by little into the body and turning it into one's own use. Only in this way can the effect of the practice be utilized to the maximum extent and not wasted.

　　This process was extremely slow. As time went on, the thick lightning surrounding Zhou Yun was broken down bit by bit and then penetrated into his body. During the change, Zhou Yun's legs gradually stood up and the arms around his chest also naturally drooped down a little bit.

　　If you take a quick look within a short period of time, most people would not be able to notice that Zhou Yun is moving. Only with a reference object and long-term observation can you find that Zhou Yun's body position is indeed changing little by little, gradually changing from a standing posture to a naturally relaxed posture.

　　As Zhou Yun's body stood up completely, the last waves of lightning power were completely introduced into Zhou Yun's body.

　　call!

　　Exhaling a long breath, Zhou Yun felt extremely refreshed. After entering the realm of Yi Jin Xi Sui, Zhou Yun's meridians had been transformed and expanded, and the capacity of his true energy was several times stronger than before.

　　But this time of practice still filled up all of Zhou Yun's meridians, achieving excellent results.

　　"Break!" Zhou Yun felt extremely comfortable as his whole body was filled with strength. Unable to bear it any longer, he punched forward directly.

　　Suddenly, a blue ball of lightning exploded in front, and suddenly, there was a rumbling thunder, and the echoes came from all directions, with an astonishing momentum!

　　Boom!

　　After Zhou Yun's punch, the ground of the inky world beneath his feet immediately shook. Feeling this vibration, Zhou Yun knew that the nine-headed snake demon was about to come out.

　　Zhou Yun quickly finished his training, turned around, and stood there quietly waiting.

　　Sure enough, after a moment, the nine-headed snake demon appeared in front of Zhou Yun.

　　"Hmm!?" As soon as the nine-headed snake demon appeared, it immediately sensed Zhou Yun's location and let out a strange snort from its nose. At that moment, the eyes of the central snake head of the nine-headed snake demon almost opened!

　　Although the central eye of the Hydra Demon did not open at all, and only showed a slight tendency to open, Zhou Yun still felt an extremely cold and terrifying pressure at that moment!

　　"It's so scary. According to rumors, the scariest thing about this nine-headed snake demon is the nine eyes on its nine heads, especially the one in the middle, which is really extraordinary." Feeling the pressure coming from his body in an instant, Zhou Yun couldn't help but speak in his heart.

　　At this time, the Nine-Headed Snake Demon didn't care about other things at all. He just stared at Zhou Yun and said thoughtfully, "You kid, your meridian strength has reached this level? The effect you have achieved in this month of practice is much better than I expected, but these abundant true forces still can't help you break through to the peak of Martial Saint. You are still only in the middle stage of Martial Saint. It's really unbelievable."

　　After hearing the words of the Hydra Demon, Zhou Yun became a little confused. Logically speaking, it was not a good thing if the breakthrough in cultivation did not achieve the expected effect. However, the meaning of the Hydra Demon's words seemed to be saying that this was a good thing. Zhou Yun was a little confused for a moment.

　　"Senior, is my current situation good or bad?" With a hint of doubt, Zhou Yun asked the nine-headed snake demon.

　　Having received too many surprises from Zhou Yun, the Hydra Demon has become somewhat immune to them. "Your problem is very strange. If we only consider the strength of your true energy, you have far surpassed the peak of the Realm Master, but your realm is only the middle stage of the Martial Saint. This means that your meridians are more than ten times stronger than ordinary warriors! Although strong meridians mean that you can store more true energy, it will also lead to a slow improvement in your cultivation."

　　Nodding, Zhou Yun listened to the words of the Hydra Demon and memorized them carefully.

　　In fact, if the Hydra Demon's words were heard by people who were familiar with Zhou Yun's cultivation trajectory, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood. Zhou Yun advanced from the skin training stage to the Martial Saint realm of Yi Jin Xi Sui in less than a year. If this is still called slow, then there is probably no one in the world who can practice quickly.

　　"However, this is definitely beneficial. Although you haven't reached the realm master stage yet, your spiritual veins have been opened. It can be said that until you reach the realm master stage, you don't need to have too many insights. You just need to focus on improving your strength and combat ability. But you have to know that the later your cultivation is, the more you need to gain insights, especially after you become a realm master. Many warriors have countless resources and treasures, but they are stuck at this level and cannot break through all their lives because they don't have enough insights."

　　"If you stay at this stage and fail to comprehend, your combat power will not be able to improve. At this time, whoever has stronger meridians can accumulate more power and have a greater advantage in the battle. It can be said that if you break through to the realm of realm master, even if you cannot break through to the next level, your combat power will far exceed that of ordinary peak realm masters. This is what I mean by the benefit."

　　After listening to the words of the nine-headed snake demon, Zhou Yun finally understood. In fact, Zhou Yun had already summarized this point before. The reason why he could continuously fight against opponents of higher levels was because his meridians were much stronger than those of ordinary warriors, so his true energy was more abundant, which could support him to continuously fight against opponents of higher levels.

　　Following this trend, Zhou Yun's advantage will probably continue.

　　"Then senior, do I need to practice continuously to increase my true power?" Zhou Yun immediately asked, having fully understood the words of the Hydra Demon.

　　"Well, when you reach the peak of Martial Saint, your whole body will change, and you will truly feel the spiritual power. Then I will guide you to impact the spiritual points. However, this should not be achieved overnight. I am afraid it will take several months." Nodding, the Hydra Demon left a word, and his body suddenly disappeared in front of Zhou Yun with the rumbling of the earth.

　　Chapter 204 Shenxiao Leiyun Palace

　　Watching the Hydra demon leave, Zhou Yun also stood there, quietly thinking about what it had just said.

　　"According to the current situation, it will probably be slow to improve my cultivation level. Under this condition, the most important thing right now is to enhance my combat capability. Since continuing to practice will only increase my true strength, why not challenge the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace directly at this time?" Zhou Yun said silently after thinking for a moment.

　　Originally, he planned to use this one and a half months to quickly improve his cultivation under the guidance of the Hydra Demon, so that his strength could get a breakthrough, so that he would be more confident when challenging the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace.

　　For this matter, Zhou Yun even postponed the time to go back to visit Jun Yao. But now, a month has passed, and Zhou Yun's cultivation level has only improved by a small realm, from the early stage of Martial Saint to the middle stage of Martial Saint. The Hydra Demon did not give him more guidance, but only pointed out some of his current problems.

　　Under such circumstances, it would be somewhat worthless to continue staying in the ancient training chamber.

　　Although this ancient secret training chamber is precious, for Zhou Yun, who possesses the Chaos Crystal, such a training environment is not worth envying.

　　"Go and challenge the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, and then go back to visit Jun Yao as soon as possible." Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately made a decision. When mentioning Jun Yao, more thoughts suddenly emerged in Zhou Yun's heart.

　　After making the decision, Zhou Yun immediately turned around and walked toward the outside of the ancient training chamber.

　　"I want to challenge the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace!" About an incense stick of time later, Zhou Yun had walked out of the ancient training chamber. Looking at the two Chiyan Army soldiers guarding outside the ancient training chamber, Zhou Yun spoke solemnly.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the iron-like faces of the two Red Flame Army soldiers immediately changed slightly, and there was more respect in their eyes when they looked at Zhou Yun.

　　They guarded the Shenwei Training Camp for half a year. Although they didn't say anything and didn't make any extra statements, they saw everything that happened in the training camp. Zhou Yun rose from the 64th place at the beginning to the first place in the end. His great perseverance and talent had already made the Chiyan Army soldiers admire him.

　　Especially now that he heard that Zhou Yun was going to challenge the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace again, his admiration for him was beyond words.

　　"Please wait a moment, we are going to report now." For the first time ever, the two Red Flame Army soldiers actually saluted respectfully to Zhou Yun and left quickly.

　　Still missing Jun Yao in his heart, Zhou Yun knew that facing the upcoming important test, this kind of emotion was absolutely dangerous and unacceptable.

　　Taking two deep breaths, Zhou Yun suppressed his longing for Jun Yao, and his eyes regained clarity and decisiveness.

　　"This is the last and most important level in the Shenwei training camp. Jun Yao, don't worry. Once you pass this level and get the full set of Wanxiang Benlei Fist, I will come back to see you immediately." With a firm look in his eyes, Zhou Yun has thrown aside all other things and is ready to meet the final challenge.

　　Oh!

　　At this time, accompanied by the roar of a ferocious beast, General Hupeng, riding on the tiger-shaped beast, appeared in front of Zhou Yun.

　　"Zhou Yun, are you ready?" Looking at Zhou Yun calmly, General Hu Pen spoke slowly. In his simple words, a sense of majesty was clearly conveyed. Obviously, in General Hu Pen's view, challenging the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace was an extremely serious matter.

　　With the same solemn expression, Zhou Yun cupped his fists slightly towards General Hu Pen and said, "General, I am ready."

　　"Come with me." The expression on his face remained unchanged. General Hu Pen left a word calmly, turned around and rode the tiger-shaped beast, heading out of the living area.

　　With a sigh of relief, Zhou Yun calmed himself down and followed General Hu Pen toward the living area of ​​the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　Along the way, General Hu Pen rode silently on the tiger-shaped beast and moved forward slowly, while Zhou Yun followed behind General Hu Pen with a calm expression. Although the beast was moving very fast, the expression on Zhou Yun's face was relaxed.

　　Zhou Yun had already made good use of the pneumatic steps. Although the amplitude of his steps was not large and the frequency of his feet was not fast, the distance he moved forward each time was very large. He was actually following the tiger-shaped beast closely.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun looking so relaxed, General Hu Pen nodded secretly.

　　After leaving the living area, the two walked forward for about an hour. In the distance, a blue five-story tower came into Zhou Yun's sight.

　　"Zhou Yun, the small tower in front is the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace. You can go in by yourself. I'll wait for you here." The ferocious beast under his crotch stopped, and General Hu Pen turned around and spoke to Zhou Yun beside him.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun's attention has been drawn to the small tower. Although the small tower looks ordinary at first glance, a closer look reveals that the small tower is extraordinary.

　　Blue is a very mysterious color. Zhou Yun has seen many buildings. Red, cyan, gray, white, and even black can all be found in the world. However, as for blue, Zhou Yun really can't think of any building materials of this color.

　　Although the blue color on the small tower was plain, Zhou Yun could see that the building stones of the small tower were not dyed, but those stones were naturally blue. This alone was enough to prove the extraordinaryness of the small tower.

　　At the front, the door of the small tower was also open. Although there was a doorway there, it was impossible to see what was inside. Even though Zhou Yun was only 30 meters away from the small tower, he still could not see anything inside the small tower.

　　Standing next to General Hu Pen, Zhou Yun could already vaguely feel the extremely powerful force of lightning radiating from the small tower.

　　"Thank you." Nodding to General Hu Pen, Zhou Yun began to walk slowly towards the small tower.

　　Boom!

　　Just as he took a step forward, the sound of rolling thunderclouds came over immediately, causing Zhou Yun's ears to ring. Then, a strong pressure also came over with the rolling thunder.

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun's steps came to a halt, and his progress was greatly hindered.

　　"This Shenxiao Leiyun Palace is indeed extraordinary. Without a high level of cultivation, it would be difficult to even get close to it, let alone pass the tests inside." Feeling the waves of pressure, Zhou Yun muttered silently in his heart, slowly relieving his own pressure.

　　His eyes became indifferent, and Zhou Yun completely emptied his mind, reaching a state of clarity. Suddenly, the pressure from the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace immediately passed through Zhou Yun's body, and could no longer have any effect on him.

　　Seeing the changes on Zhou Yun's body, General Hu Pen's expression changed immediately, "This kid is really extraordinary. He can hone his mind to such an extent. Facing the pressure from Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, he didn't resist but integrated into it. He is extraordinary!"

　　Since he took over the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun has given him too many shocks. Now, he is also looking forward to Zhou Yun's growth.

　　With Zhou Yun's growth rate, in five or ten years, the Tianyuan Dynasty will definitely have another peerless master!

　　Facing the pressure, Zhou Yun walked straight into the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace.

　　As soon as he entered the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, Zhou Yun's face immediately showed an expression of astonishment.

　　"This Shenxiao Leiyun Palace is actually set up like this!?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Yun couldn't help but exclaimed.

　　Judging from the appearance, the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace has a five-story structure. Coincidentally, the Wanxiang Benlei Fist obtained by breaking through the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace also has a total of five levels. Zhou Yun originally thought that the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace should be similar to the Yingdaomen's power transmission tower, with a total of five floors. Each time you break through a level, you can get a set of secrets. However, he didn't expect to see such a scene after actually stepping in!

　　There is no other decoration in the empty center of the tower, only a staircase that spirals upward. The staircase is surrounded by thick clouds and mist, making it look extremely mysterious.

　　With Zhou Yun's vision, he couldn't even see the top of the stairs. He could only see that the spiral staircase extended about five meters. Above that, Zhou Yun could no longer see anything.

　　Moreover, in this Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, radiating spiritual perception is actually of no use at all!

　　"It seems that I can only climb up this spiral staircase and see what's on top." There were no clues around, except for the swirling clouds and the lonely spiral staircase going upwards. Looking at this setting, Zhou Yun knew that he might have no other choice but to keep going upwards.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun calmed himself down and began to walk towards the spiral staircase.

　　Now that he is ready to challenge the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, Zhou Yun must go on no matter what lies ahead.

　　Slowly approaching, Zhou Yun finally raised his right foot and stepped on the first step of the stairs.

　　Here!

　　As Zhou Yun stepped in, a strong electric current immediately transmitted from the stairs and instantly passed through Zhou Yun's body, making Zhou Yun couldn't help but daze.

　　Although this electric current was quite strong, it could not hurt Zhou Yun.

　　After a little adjustment, Zhou Yun raised his left foot and stepped on the second step of the stairs.

　　Zs!!

　　Suddenly, an electric current stronger than the one on the first floor of stairs came over. Feeling this electric current, Zhou Yun's body trembled again.

　　With his brows slightly furrowed, Zhou Yun remained calm and continued to walk forward step by step. With every step he took, the electric current on the stairs became stronger than before.

　　Now Zhou Yun has opened up his heavenly spiritual meridian and has a sensitive sense of everything around him. This sense is not only for the external environment, Zhou Yun can also have a very detailed grasp of his own physical condition.

　　Zhou Yun could clearly feel that with each step he took on the stairs in the clouds, the lightning power it carried was stronger than the previous step. Now, Zhou Yun's own strength was not enough to resist such power.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun clenched his right fist. Suddenly, a blue electric light slowly spread out with Zhou Yun's dantian as the center. Suddenly, a blue lightning shield appeared around Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun was finally ready to use his power to resist.

　　rattan!

　　After the light shield appeared, Zhou Yun raised his foot again and stepped onto the stairs to the next level.

　　Suddenly, bursts of lightning power surged out from the stairs and hit heavily on the light shield held up by Zhou Yun. However, this time, Zhou Yun was not affected at all. The lightning shield had already blocked the power on the stairs for Zhou Yun.

　　"We can continue to move forward." At this time, Zhou Yun had just walked up twenty steps. He didn't know how far he was from the top floor. Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun muttered something to himself and began to move forward!

　　Chapter 205 Crossing the Last Level

　　Ziz…ziz…ziz…

　　As Zhou Yun continued to move forward on the rotating stairs, the power of thunder and lightning became stronger and stronger, and the power of thunder and lightning on each step was stronger than the previous one.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun could no longer see the situation below, and the top of the stairs was also submerged in a swirling cloud, so he couldn't see how many steps there were.

　　"If this goes on, this light shield may not be able to hold on." At this moment, Zhou Yun no longer had the calm and relaxed look he had before. He clenched his fists, trying hard to support his strength.

　　A layer of lightning shield floated around Zhou Yun's body, resisting the lightning force attacking from every step.

　　Feeling the lightning power on the stairs constantly hitting the light shield, Zhou Yun's brows were furrowed.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun tried to relax his mind. After his heart was calm, the flow of true energy in Zhou Yun's meridians immediately became smoother. As the meridians flowed smoothly, the lightning shield around Zhou Yun's body immediately became more condensed.

　　This change also relieved Zhou Yun of a lot of pressure.

　　"Huh, I can continue walking up now." After stabilizing himself, Zhou Yun immediately took a step and continued walking up the stairs.

　　Relying on the powerful protective ability of the light shield, Zhou Yun insisted on walking up more than ten flights of stairs. However, when he looked up, he found that there were still layers of fog around him, and he could not see where the end of the stairs was at all.

　　Not only that, there were traces of lightning power gathering in the clouds, making visibility even lower. Now Zhou Yun couldn't even see more than three meters.

　　"This Shenxiao Leiyun Palace is so difficult. Can't I even walk up the stairs?" Looking at the thunderclouds surrounding above, Zhou Yun couldn't help but speak in his heart.

　　Before this, Zhou Yun had anticipated that the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace would have at least several tests, and this step might just be an entry-level entrance exam. Zhou Yun never thought that he would not even be able to pass this entry-level entrance exam.

　　At this time, outside the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, General Hu Pen was also quietly looking at Zhou Yun.

　　The small tower of the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace was extremely mysterious. After Zhou Yun entered and stepped onto the stairs, the entire Shenxiao Leiyun Palace small tower suddenly became somewhat transparent. Here, General Hu Pen could clearly see where Zhou Yun had walked to.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun had just walked to the middle of the entire spiral staircase. Looking at the lightning shield on Zhou Yun's body, General Hu Pen's face also showed a trace of admiration, "This kid, his true strength is really a bit unbelievable. He hasn't surpassed the realm of Martial Saint, but now his true strength is almost catching up with me. Work hard, and after passing this section of the stairs, you will become a completely different person!"

　　A pair of tiger eyes stared at Zhou Yun quietly, and General Hupeng spoke in a low voice.

　　Zhou Yun actually didn't know that the test of Shenxiao Leiyun Palace was not as complicated as he imagined. Whether he could pass the test depended on whether he could walk up this spiral staircase and reach the top level of Shenxiao Leiyun Palace.

　　Although there were not so many twists and turns, General Hu Pen knew that this spiral staircase was actually extremely difficult to walk on, and even he himself could not walk through it.

　　If Zhou Yun can make it through, based on his cultivation, and obtain the full set of the All-Things Thunder Fist, then Zhou Yun's future development can almost be said to be limitless!

　　Outside the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, General Hu Pen was closely watching Zhou Yun, while on the spiral staircase inside, Zhou Yun had already arrived at the most critical moment.

　　"Why is this staircase so long? I haven't finished it yet! Could it be that I really can't even get through this first level?" Looking at the seemingly endless stairs above, Zhou Yun frowned tightly, and a little murmur rose in his heart.

　　Faced with such a difficult and ruthless staircase, Zhou Yun also felt a little unsure.

　　Bang!

　　Zhou Yun had been trying hard to maintain the lightning shield, and his mind relaxed. When he stepped onto a new step again, he was hit by a stronger lightning force than before, and the shield on Zhou Yun was immediately shattered!

　　Ziz...ziz...

　　Suddenly, powerful forces of thunder and lightning rushed into Zhou Yun's body without any hindrance!

　　"ah!!"

　　This powerful force of thunder and lightning immediately paralyzed Zhou Yun. Along with the paralysis, a feeling of extreme pain also entered Zhou Yun's body. The strong thunder and lightning made Zhou Yun's hair stand up.

　　Looking up, Zhou Yun couldn't help but let out a cry of pain!

　　"It's broken!" Seeing this scene, General Hu Pen's upper body immediately leaned forward. He did not expect that Zhou Yun would have a change of mentality at this time, causing the lightning shield that had been holding up to break.

　　"Hurry up and put up the light shield!" Although Zhou Yun had no chance of hearing what he said, General Hu Pen couldn't help but shout loudly.

　　At this time, didn’t Zhou Yun want to put up the lightning shield again?

　　However, under such intense clicking pain, Zhou Yun had no way to gather his strength. This kind of pain was simply unbearable for ordinary people.

　　Zhou Yun only relied on the fact that he also practiced thunder and lightning, and his body foundation was extremely solid, so he was not turned into charcoal by such a thunder and lightning strike. But this does not mean that Zhou Yun could not feel the pain.

　　In such pain, it was extremely difficult for Zhou Yun to condense a lightning shield. He tried three times, but was always interrupted midway.

　　"We can't go on like this!" The lightning power coming from the stairs has caused Zhou Yun more and more pain, and re-condensing the light shield has become increasingly unreliable. Even if he condenses a light shield, what can he do?

　　Just now, when Zhou Yun was under little pressure and in very good condition, the lightning shield he condensed could not resist such an attack for long. If he condensed it again now, even if it could resist for a while, how long could it last?

　　"We must find a way. We can't go on like this." Feeling the pain coming from his body, Zhou Yun screamed madly in his heart. He didn't want to give up such an opportunity, and he couldn't give up.

　　"Collect!" Suddenly, the true energy in Zhou Yun's meridians began to flow wildly, and the thunder and lightning power that raged in Zhou Yun's body was actually swept into the flow of Zhou Yun's true energy.

　　"What is this! Absorption!?" Although he did not hear Zhou Yun's shouting, General Hu Pen, who was deep outside the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, clearly felt the change in Zhou Yun. He was shocked to find that Zhou Yun was no longer fighting against the lightning power on the stairs, but wanted to directly absorb and transform the lightning power for his own use!

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had already begun to absorb the lightning power on the stairs. While absorbing it, Zhou Yun stabilized the situation again and began to walk slowly upwards again.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun overcome this difficulty, General Hu Pen did not show much joy on his face.

　　"The lightning power of the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace is so strong. How far can you go by absorbing it?" Although Zhou Yun had already reached the upper and middle part of the entire staircase at this time, General Hu Pen was not optimistic that Zhou Yun could rely on this method to get up.

　　Although General Hu Pen himself didn't know how to walk up this flight of stairs, he knew that Zhou Yun's method was not advisable.

　　Zhou Yun walked up step by step along the spiral staircase, his body completely upright. He stood proudly like a pine tree. The power of thunder and lightning around him kept circling around him, then being decomposed and absorbed into his body.

　　During this process, Zhou Yun's strength began to grow rapidly!

　　Zhou Yun was shocked to find that the peak realm of Martial Saint, which he originally thought would take three or four months, or even longer, to break through, was actually gradually ushering in the prelude to a breakthrough during this violent absorption!

　　The true energy in Zhou Yun's meridians was spinning wildly. As he continued to move forward, waves of lightning power were directly absorbed into his body and used for his own purposes.

　　"It is amazing that Zhou Yun's meridians can absorb so much lightning power!" At this time, General Hu Pen couldn't help but admire him again.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun was less than twenty steps away from the top of the spiral staircase, and he could already see the end of the stairs!

　　"We're finally there!" When Zhou Yun saw the platform at the end of the stairs, a gleam of desire flashed in his eyes.

　　The finish line was just ahead, and the fire in Zhou Yun's heart was ignited once again.

　　There was a bright light in his eyes, and the speed of the true energy flowing in Zhou Yun's meridians suddenly became faster. With continuous stepping of his feet, Zhou Yun had climbed four or five steps in a row!

　　At this time, the lightning power on the stairs had already flowed into Zhou Yun's body even more violently. After receiving this power, the layer of restriction on Zhou Yun's body was immediately broken!

　　Bang!

　　It was as if a door was opened, and facing the surging power of thunder and lightning, Zhou Yun finally broke through to the peak state of Martial Saint!

　　And under such a state, Zhou Yun's process of absorbing the true power of thunder and lightning is still continuing, and even Zhou Yun himself can clearly feel his own growth!

　　Before Zhou Yun stepped onto the last step, the surging power of thunder and lightning finally completely filled Zhou Yun's meridians!

　　At this time, if Zhou Yun continued to move forward, he would definitely not be able to absorb new true energy.

　　"See what you are going to do." The fact that Zhou Yun could reach his current position by absorbing true energy had already greatly shocked General Hu Pen. But at this time, General Hu Pen had also realized that Zhou Yun's true energy had reached its peak state and it was no longer possible to absorb it.

　　If he continued to absorb at this time, Zhou Yun might even face the risk of exploding.

　　Faced with such a dilemma, Zhou Yun showed a confident smile on his face.

　　Buzz!

　　Suddenly, a dazzling purple light spread out from Zhou Yun's dantian. In an instant, a purple light shield that was dozens of times stronger than the blue light shield appeared outside Zhou Yun's body!

　　"Pure purple lightning!" Seeing Zhou Yun's action, General Hu Pen immediately widened his eyes in shock.

　　Purple electric light is the purest and most powerful electric light force that can only be condensed when the power of thunder and lightning reaches a certain level!

　　He never thought that Zhou Yun could actually gather such power!

　　Under the shocked gaze of General Hu Pen, Zhou Yun directly held up the purple light shield and passed the last level!

　　Chapter 206 Leaving the Shenwei Training Camp

　　As Zhou Yun stepped onto the last step, the pressure around him suddenly disappeared.

　　The entire Shenxiao Leiyun Palace returned to normal at once, the strong sense of oppression disappeared, and Zhou Yun's spiritual sense could clearly sense everything around him. The power that sealed Zhou Yun's spiritual sense just now seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun could feel all the conditions of the floor he stepped into, including the condition of the spiral staircase below. Zhou Yun could even clearly sense that outside the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, General Hu Pen was still riding on the giant tiger-shaped beast, waiting for him.

　　"Have I finally passed this first level?" Feeling the pressure around him gradually thinning, Zhou Yun couldn't help but let out a long breath.

　　Bang!

　　The surroundings were no longer dangerous, so Zhou Yun naturally put away the layer of purple light shield around him.

　　"Hmm? What is this?" Putting away the light shield, Zhou Yun drew a circle with his arms, forming a small Zhoutian embrace posture, and adjusted his breathing. However, when Zhou Yun did this, he suddenly found that not only was the power in his body's eight extraordinary meridians slowly flowing, absorbing some of the surrounding true energy to replenish his body, but even the mysterious power in his Tianling Meridian began to move.

　　A trace of cool power actually entered the body as the Tianling Vein turned, and then slowly merged into the Tianling Vein.

　　"Is this the Heavenly Spiritual Vein absorbing power? Why would there be such a sudden reaction?" Feeling the power flowing in the Heavenly Spiritual Vein, Zhou Yun exclaimed in surprise.

　　Suddenly, the words that the Hydra demon had instructed entered Zhou Yun’s mind.

　　'When you reach the peak of martial sainthood, your whole body will change, and you will truly feel the spiritual power.' Recalling the words of the Hydra Demon, Zhou Yun finally understood that the power that rotated with his meridians and absorbed into the Heavenly Spiritual Veins was the so-called 'spiritual power!' Moreover, at this time, Zhou Yun also truly felt the changes brought about by his body. At this time, Zhou Yun's whole body seemed to have merged into the world, as if everything around him was already under his control.

　　This kind of mysterious feeling was something Zhou Yun had never felt before. The air flow around him, the power between heaven and earth, and even the movement of a tiny dust particle could be clearly captured by Zhou Yun. This feeling was so wonderful that Zhou Yun couldn't help but indulge in it for a moment and carefully experienced this feeling.

　　After standing there quietly for a long time, Zhou Yun finally got used to this mysterious feeling. With a sigh of relief, Zhou Yun opened his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

　　Originally, he thought that he would need to accumulate his cultivation for three or four months before he could truly break through to the peak of Martial Saint. After all, with the strength of Zhou Yun's meridians, even if he accumulated his true energy quickly, it would probably be very difficult to break through. But now, a trip to the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace actually allowed Zhou Yun to directly absorb enough power for him to break through.

　　"Now, it's time to continue to challenge the level!" Zhou Yun spoke slowly with a confident smile on his face.

　　With his cultivation improved, Zhou Yun has now truly reached the peak level of Martial Saint. The next step is to impact the next few checkpoints of the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace.

　　Zhou Yun had already felt it just now. In the attic where he was, there was an open door at the innermost part. There was only a simple desk in front of the door. If nothing unexpected happened, the door should be the entrance to the next level.

　　Gathering his mind, Zhou Yun slowly walked towards the gate.

　　"Hmm? What is this?" Before Zhou Yun walked to the door, his attention was attracted by a line of words written on the desk.

　　"Being able to come this far means that you are qualified to become my disciple. The Shenwei Training Camp will always be open to you. Keep this set of secret manuals in front of you. Once you have mastered the Myriad Thunder Fist, you can cross this flashing void gate and join me - Li Jing."

　　"How could this happen?" Looking at the line of vigorous and powerful characters that seemed to carry life, Zhou Yun's heart couldn't help but be slightly shaken.

　　Originally, he thought that the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace would be very difficult to challenge, but he didn't expect that he would pass the test just by walking up a spiral staircase?

　　Such a thing made Zhou Yun himself feel a little bit unbelievable. In fact, Zhou Yun had been forcing himself to be tough and persistent before he could finish walking up the spiral staircase. However, he didn't know that the difficulty of the spiral staircase was like a chasm. Even a master like General Hu Pen might not be able to pass it.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun also had a sense of the difficulty of the stairs, but he always felt from the bottom of his heart that the test of Shenxiao Leiyun Palace must be very difficult, very difficult, could it be so difficult? But in fact, the test ended directly after Zhou Yun walked up the stairs, which gave Zhou Yun a feeling of anticlimactic.

　　Although the surface of the desk was flat, there was a slight depression in the center except for the line of words. In the depression, a blue ancient book was lying there quietly.

　　This is exactly the All-Things Thunder Fist that Zhou Yun has always dreamed of!

　　"No matter what, the secret book is already in my hands. As long as I get it, everything will be fine." Feeling relaxed, Zhou Yun walked forward, took out the secret book of the Wanxiang Benlei Fist, and held it in his hand.

　　After putting away the secret book, Zhou Yun looked at the line of words on the desk in front of him and said slowly, "General, please rest assured. I will come to you as soon as I finish practicing this set of secret books."

　　Although he had never seen the mighty general Li Jing, Zhou Yun still admired Li Jing very much. This was also an idea shared by every citizen of the Tianyuan Dynasty, because Li Jing was the patron saint of their stable life.

　　"The secret book has been obtained. It's time to leave the Shenwei Training Camp." Standing there, Zhou Yun finally showed a smile on his face. Although there were difficulties and hardships in entering the Shenwei Training Camp this time, Zhou Yun successfully completed his goal.

　　Not only did his cultivation improve greatly, rising from the peak of muscle training to the peak of martial saint in seven months, but he also won first place in the Shenwei training camp.

　　Not only that, Zhou Yun also obtained this precious set of All-Things Thunder Fist.

　　Now, it was time to leave. Although there was still half a month of time left in the ancient cultivation chamber, Zhou Yun could no longer care about it. Zhou Yun knew that Lin Junyao must be waiting for him eagerly, and Zhou Yun was the same.

　　"Jun Yao, I'm coming back, wait for me!" With a gentle smile on his face, Zhou Yun slowly uttered a few words, turned around and resolutely walked out of the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace.

　　When Zhou Yun walked out of the blue Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, General Hupeng who was waiting there immediately jumped off the tiger-shaped beast and walked quickly towards Zhou Yun.

　　"Zhou Yun, congratulations on becoming the general's disciple. Your future is limitless. In the future, my Tianyuan will have another powerful general!" Looking at Zhou Yun with satisfaction, General Hu Pen praised sincerely.

　　"Thank you, General." Zhou Yun said politely, bowing to the tiger-spraying general.

　　Although General Hu Pen and General Yan Yin, who was previously in charge of the Shenwei Training Camp, did not communicate much with him, Zhou Yun understood that these two people were the cornerstones of the Tianyuan Dynasty, pillars of the dynasty, and powerful masters.

　　Zhou Yun naturally had great respect for such a person.

　　"Are you leaving?" General Hu Pen spoke gently with a smile on his face.

　　"Well, it's been seven months." Zhou Yun nodded and spoke silently, with a hint of melancholy and anticipation in his voice.

　　He gained a lot in the Shenwei training camp, but also lost a lot of time to spend with Jun Yao, and suffered a lot in his heart.

　　Turning around and jumping onto his tiger-shaped beast, General Hupeng took the lead and walked towards the outskirts of the Shenwei Training Camp. Seeing General Hupeng's actions, Zhou Yun also followed closely behind General Hupeng.

　　As the last student to leave the Shenwei Training Camp, the top student in this training camp, and the student who passed the assessment of the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, Zhou Yun naturally deserves to be sent off by General Hupeng.

　　After more than an hour, the two finally arrived at the exit of the Shenwei training camp.

　　Patting the giant beast under him slightly, General Hu Pen stopped and turned to Zhou Yun. His expression became calm. "Zhou Yun, you will be sent directly to the army this time. Remember, you must not only practice hard, but also learn to protect yourself. Even a genius student needs to grow up before he can shine with the strongest brilliance!"

　　While speaking, General Hu Pen's face was still filled with eager anticipation. In the entire dynasty, he had not seen a young man as stunning as Zhou Yun for a long time. At the age of sixteen, he was at the peak of the Martial Saint level. Such an achievement was almost unbelievable.

　　"Write to the General. Zhou Yun will keep it in mind." Nodding attentively, Zhou Yun thanked him out loud.

　　He naturally understood what General Hu Pen meant. After going out this time, the enemies Zhou Yun would face would be stronger than ever before. At the same time, no one would protect him. How he would go in the future would depend entirely on Zhou Yun himself.

　　"Well, go ahead." Looking at Zhou Yun gently, General Hu Pen stopped there quietly and spoke calmly.

　　"General, I'm leaving." After bowing respectfully to General Hu Pen, Zhou Yun turned around and mounted the horse prepared for him in the Shenwei Training Camp.

　　"Fight!" He squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse immediately neighed and galloped rapidly towards the direction of the imperial city.

　　As Zhou Yun left the Shenwei training camp, the only name on the Far Emperor Elite List immediately disappeared in a golden light.

　　Then, the entrance to the Shenwei training camp was hidden in the illusions and gradually disappeared.

　　Zhou Yun had already left the Shenwei training camp and quickly rushed to the capital and the Lin family mansion in the early morning light.

　　At this time, Jun Yao had already woken up early in the Lin family mansion. Today was the first day of her brother Lin Juntian and sister-in-law Fang Xueyin's wedding. According to convention, they had to serve tea to Lin Hailong in the morning.

　　Lin Junyao felt sorry for her brother and sister-in-law, so she naturally wanted to get up early to help Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin prepare.

　　After carefully selecting the best tea leaves and boiling water herself, Lin Junyao came to the lobby of the main house of the Lin family with a full set of tea sets.

　　After setting up the tea set, Lin Junyao began to wait quietly.

　　Time passed little by little, but Lin Hailong did not appear in the lobby.

　　It was not until breakfast time that Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying appeared in the lobby, but they were dressed casually and did not wear the formal clothes required for serving tea. Seeing her brother and sister-in-law dressed like this, Lin Junyao's face immediately became a little flustered.

　　"Brother, where is father?" With a trace of panic on her face, Lin Junyao asked Lin Juntian nervously.

　　After being asked this by Lin Junyao and looking at the tea set prepared by Lin Junyao, Lin Juntian finally reacted. He thought that Lin Junyao must have seen through his father's instructions at the first moment.

　　Chapter 207 I Promise

　　When asked this by Lin Junyao, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin, the two people who knew the truth, were speechless for a moment. Lin Junyao had obviously sensed something, and it would be a bit bad to tell lies at this time.

　　After all, concealment and deception are two completely different things.

　　Seeing the expressions of her brother and sister-in-law, Lin Junyao's panic expression immediately turned into grievance, and her eyes turned red, "Brother, has Dad left?"

　　Lin Junyao's question was trembling, which made Lin Juntian feel distressed. He walked forward, patted his sister's shoulder gently, and said, "Junyao, the emperor and General Shenwei need father's help. This is a national and world affair. Our father is a duke, and he cannot shirk such a matter."

　　An expression of grievance appeared on her face. Although Lin Junyao knew that what her brother said was correct, she was just a girl and did not want to consider so many national and world affairs. All she wanted was to be able to spend more time with her father.

　　She just wanted to wait until Zhou Yun came back and her father would still be around to preside over the wedding for her and Zhou Yun.

　　"Daddy, why did you lie to me?" Lin Junyao spoke in grievance as a tear slid down her face.

　　Seeing Lin Junyao's sad look, Fang Xueyin came over and gently put her arm around her shoulders, comforting her, "Junyao, Daddy is afraid that you will be too upset, so he wants us to keep it a secret from you for a while. By then, even if you know that he has left, Zhou Yun will come back, and you will be less sad. You know, none of us want you to be sad."

　　After hearing Fang Xueying's words, Lin Junyao could only shed tears silently. Although she knew that she would not be able to marry Zhou Yun in a short time, Lin Junyao was still very moved.

　　After all, she can clearly feel the love and care from her whole family. With such love and care, how could she be unsatisfied?

　　But for some reason, Lin Junyao felt a little empty in her heart.

　　Naturally seeing why Lin Junyao was sad, Fang Xueyin also smiled, gently pinched Lin Junyao's face, and comforted her, "Junyao, don't be sad, you just turned sixteen, it's okay to get married at this time, but it's really a little early. Look, I'm already over twenty this year, although I'm getting married late, I'm still very happy. Zhou Yun will definitely not let you down, you can wait another year, I believe Daddy will be back soon."

　　Looking at Fang Xueying, Lin Junyao's tears finally stopped. After all, Fang Xueying didn't get married until she was 20 years old. With such a vivid example right in front of her, Lin Junyao really shouldn't be so anxious.

　　However, at this time, Lin Junyao felt very wronged and helpless.

　　Lin Hailong had already left, and Lin Junyao's longing for Zhou Yun suddenly became stronger.

　　Thinking of Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao turned around and looked far to the north of the imperial city. In that place, in Tianhuang Mountain, Zhou Yun should still be practicing there, right? When will he come back?

　　Just as Lin Junyao was silently thinking of Zhou Yun and lost in thought, an old voice with a hint of surprise suddenly came over.

　　"Good news, Miss Junyao, Zhou Yun is back!" The old man who came running quickly was Lan Cang. Originally, Lan Cang was patrolling casually in the Lin family mansion today, but he happened to see Zhou Yun coming back. He was at the door of the Lin family mansion. The moment he saw Zhou Yun, Lan Cang immediately ran back to inform Lin Junyao.

　　Lan Cang knew what Zhou Yun meant to Lin Junyao.

　　"Zhou Yun is back!?" Sure enough, the sad expression on her face disappeared without a trace in an instant. Lin Junyao shouted in surprise, broke free from Fang Xueying's arms, and ran directly out of the main house.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's hurried footsteps, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin, who were still staying in the lobby of the main house, shook their heads helplessly, but with a smile on their faces.

　　"This Zhou Yun, he came back just in time. At least he was thinking about Jun Yao." His tone had become relaxed. Lin Juntian spoke slowly and left a word. Lin Juntian wanted to follow and see how Zhou Yun had changed over the past few months.

　　Just as he was about to leave, Fang Xueyin's little hand held him back, "Brother Tian, ​​don't go yet. Let him and Jun Yao have some time to themselves."

　　As a woman, Fang Xueying naturally knew what Lin Junyao needed at this moment. Now, perhaps all Lin Junyao needed was to cry in Zhou Yun's arms and vent her grievances and longings.

　　"Okay." After hearing Fang Xueying's words, Lin Juntian smiled slightly. He also admitted that Fang Xueying was right. Lin Junyao really didn't need him to disturb her at this time.

　　Rushing out of the main house of the Lin family mansion, Lin Junyao trotted all the way to the front yard of the Lin family mansion. At this time, Zhou Yun had already entered the Lin family. Without even releasing his spiritual sense, Zhou Yun had already felt Lin Junyao's location. It was a kind of spiritual attraction. He knew that Lin Junyao was somewhere in front of him, running towards him.

　　Quickly passing through the Lin family's front yard, finally, Lin Junyao and Zhou Yun met in the small garden.

　　"Zhou Yun!" Seeing the figure in the distance whom she hadn't seen for seven months, whose temperament had become more vicissitudes and steady, but the love in his eyes was the same as before, Lin Junyao finally couldn't help but shouted.

　　The moment she saw Zhou Yun, tears fell from Lin Junyao's eyes, but a relieved and happy smile was on her face.

　　"Jun Yao!" At this time, Lin Jun Yao, who was wearing a light pink dress, also entered Zhou Yun's sight. Looking at Lin Jun Yao's tearful eyes but with a happy smile, Zhou Yun felt that his heart was moved at this moment. He couldn't help but shout, and Zhou Yun rushed over and hugged Lin Jun Yao in his arms.

　　"Jun Yao, you have been wronged. I'm back, I'm back." Holding the girl tightly in his arms, Zhou Yun greedily sniffed the familiar scent, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

　　Zhou Yun's hug was so tight that even Lin Junyao, who had no skills, had difficulty breathing. But Lin Junyao didn't care at all. Instead, she hoped that Zhou Yun's hug could be even tighter. Lying in Zhou Yun's arms, Lin Junyao's tears flowed quickly, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered in the past month.

　　Holding Lin Junyao in his arms, Zhou Yun felt mixed emotions. Almost a year ago, Zhou Yun met Lin Junyao on a hillside outside Heyang City but was caught by Lin Juntian. Although Zhou Yun had such a belief in his heart at that time, he knew that he was still far away from this beloved girl.

　　But now, everything is different. Zhou Yun knows that he is infinitely close to Jun Yao.

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun lowered his body, and his left arm went around Lin Junyao's soft knees, and he directly picked Lin Junyao up horizontally. This sudden action caused Lin Junyao to scream, but soon, Lin Junyao calmed down, and her arms were wrapped around Zhou Yun's neck, and her head was leaning on Zhou Yun's shoulder.

　　"Jun Yao, where are we going? I need a space where only the two of us can be." Zhou Yun spoke tenderly after gently kissing Jun Yao's rosy cheek.

　　Although she was dazed, Lin Junyao still heard Zhou Yun's question. A hint of thought appeared in her confused eyes. Lin Junyao pointed to the left side of the garden and said softly, "There is a small courtyard over there. It is usually used to entertain guests. There is no one here at this time."

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's confused and cute appearance, Zhou Yun showed a relaxed smile on his face. He directly hugged Lin Junyao and walked towards the small courtyard.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun again, Lin Junyao was filled with happiness. It seemed as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. She could only let Zhou Yun hold her and walk.

　　It was not until Zhou Yun found the small courtyard and put Lin Junyao on the bed that Lin Junyao came back to her senses.

　　Her body was still soft and without any strength. Lin Junyao's hands were still hugging Zhou Yun. She nestled in Zhou Yun's arms, quietly enjoying the warmth of the moment.

　　Zhou Yun's mentality at this moment was exactly the same as Lin Junyao's. There was no need for more words between the two of them. They were happy enough just by hugging each other.

　　This hug lasted for more than half an hour. Lin Junyao raised her head from Zhou Yun's arms with a sweet smile on her face. She smiled softly and said, "Zhou Yun, take me with you wherever you go from now on, okay? I won't cause you any trouble."

　　After this period of separation, Lin Junyao could no longer bear the feeling of being separated from Zhou Yun for such a long time. She knew that after Zhou Yun came back from the Shenwei training camp this time, he would probably be sent to the army soon. Lin Junyao didn't want to be separated from Zhou Yun, so this happened.

　　Gently stroking Lin Junyao's hair, Zhou Yun said, "Junyao, I can't guarantee this. My own situation is also very dangerous now. Although my cultivation is very high, it has not yet reached the point where I can ignore everything. Don't worry, I will try my best to improve my strength. I believe this period of time will not be too long. I will not leave too quickly this time. I will accompany you well. The next time I come back, it will be the time for us to get married. Then we will never be separated again."

　　Although he knew Lin Junyao's intention, Zhou Yun did not dare to agree to this. He was still worried about General Hu Pen's words. Moreover, even if General Hu Pen had not reminded him, it was self-evident what kind of resistance Zhou Yun would encounter after killing so many noble children in the Shenwei training camp, and they were all the eldest prince and the third prince's men. Under such circumstances, if he took Lin Junyao with him, I am afraid that Zhou Yun would not be able to protect her safety.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao's face immediately showed a trace of grievance and sadness. She really wanted to never be separated from Zhou Yun again, but Lin Junyao was not that kind of willful girl.

　　In fact, when she chose to go all the way with Zhou Yun to the end, this situation had already existed in her mind countless times.

　　The current situation is much better than she had imagined. Originally, Lin Junyao thought that it would take Zhou Yun three years to qualify to marry her, but she really didn't expect that Zhou Yun had reached this level in less than a year.

　　Just as Zhou Yun said, when he comes back next time, it will be time for them to get married.

　　"You promise." Looking up, Lin Junyao looked at Zhou Yun earnestly and spoke expectantly.

　　"I promise." With a gentle smile on his face, Zhou Yun spoke solemnly, enunciating each word.

　　After hearing what Zhou Yun said, Lin Junyao finally smiled again. She buried her head in Zhou Yun's arms, and the two began to snuggle quietly for a long time.

　　Chapter 208 The Power of Reversal

　　After returning to the Lin family, Zhou Yun had been quietly accompanying Lin Junyao, from early morning till late at night. The two of them were telling each other what had happened to them during this period of time. For Zhou Yun, this was a rare relaxing time for him in more than half a year.

　　Zhou Yun was a man of cultivation, so he naturally wouldn't feel tired. After talking with Zhou Yun for a whole day, Lin Junyao finally felt tired, but she still didn't want to fall asleep.

　　In the end, Zhou Yun transferred a trace of true energy into Lin Junyao's body, causing her to gradually fall into a deep sleep.

　　Under the moonlight, Zhou Yun sat beside the bed, quietly looking at Lin Junyao who was lying there with a reassured smile on her face.

　　After Zhou Yun came back, the trace of sadness on Lin Junyao's face had completely disappeared, and her eyes were filled with a smile of peace and happiness. Seeing the girl he loved lying beside him, and even smelling the sweet scent naturally emanating from her body, Zhou Yun also showed a gentle smile on his face.

　　Bending down, Zhou Yun gently left a kiss on Lin Junyao's smooth forehead, then stood up and left the room.

　　In the small courtyard, a figure in a blue brocade robe was standing there, looking at Zhou Yun with a half-smile.

　　"Brother." Seeing the man, Zhou Yun walked down the steps, clasped his fists and saluted, speaking respectfully.

　　This person is Lin Junyao's brother Lin Juntian. After returning from the Shenwei training camp this time, Zhou Yun's status has been equal to Lin Junyao. Zhou Yun also learned that if Lin Hailong had not left after coming out of retreat without waiting for Zhou Yun to come back, the two would probably get married directly this time.

　　Under such circumstances, Zhou Yun already regarded himself as Lin Junyao's husband in his heart. When he saw Lin Juntian, he naturally would not call him the prince, but the elder brother.

　　Hearing Zhou Yun's address, the smile on Lin Juntian's face immediately became more obvious, "Zhou Yun, you are really something. You actually stayed in the room with Jun Yao for a whole day. Jun Yao is still an unmarried girl. Did you do something?"

　　"No...no." After hearing Lin Juntian's words, no matter how decisive and ruthless Zhou Yun was in his daily life, his face turned red at this moment.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's somewhat embarrassed look, Lin Juntian nodded with satisfaction. No matter what, Zhou Yun still maintained his innocence towards Jun Yao, which was already very precious.

　　After returning this time, Lin Juntian could clearly feel that Zhou Yun's whole aura had changed.

　　Before leaving the Shenwei training camp, Lin Juntian also estimated Zhou Yun's cultivation level. At that time, he could still easily defeat Zhou Yun with his strength. But now, facing Zhou Yun, Lin Juntian felt that he had no chance at all.

　　'What kind of power and experience can allow a person to achieve such tremendous growth in seven months? ' Looking at Zhou Yun standing there, his whole aura was seamless, without the slightest flaw, and he was almost one with nature, Lin Juntian couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

　　A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and Lin Juntian's aura suddenly changed.

　　"Zhou Yun, take my move, let me see your skills!" With sharp eyes, Lin Juntian looked at Zhou Yun standing there, and the true energy in his body began to circulate wildly.

　　Seeing Lin Juntian's actions, Zhou Yun couldn't help but smile.

　　In fact, he had already felt it. Lin Juntian's current cultivation level was only at the peak of internal organ blood transfusion, and he had not even reached the realm of Martial Saint. Facing Zhou Yun, who had now reached the peak of Martial Saint and entered the realm of the Realm Master, there was a gap of nearly two levels between the two.

　　"Brother, you are no match for me." Shaking his head, Zhou Yun smiled. He naturally knew that Lin Juntian wanted to use this method to detect the extent of his cultivation.

　　After all, Lin Juntian is not like him. He has already opened his heavenly spiritual vein and cannot clearly grasp the environment and other people's cultivation.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Juntian's expression instantly turned stern, "Arrogant!"

　　With a low shout, Lin Juntian's palms immediately turned red, and then, overwhelming palm shadows covered Zhou Yun.

　　When Zhou Yun saw this move, he immediately recalled that this was the move that Lin Juntian used to injure him when he first met Lin Juntian.

　　Zhou Yun could feel that Lin Juntian did not use his full strength in this move, probably only 80% of his strength. Moreover, compared to when he was in Heyang City, Lin Juntian's cultivation had improved a lot.

　　At that time, Lin Juntian only needed 30% of his strength to launch a palm strike, and he even restrained his momentum in the end so as not to wipe out Zhou Yun. But now, even though his cultivation level has improved and he used 80% of his strength to launch a palm strike, in Zhou Yun's eyes, it still poses no threat at all.

　　Standing there without moving at all, Zhou Yun still had his left hand behind his back and raised his right hand slightly. Suddenly, a blue wall of light stood up directly in front of Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun made this action naturally. After Zhou Yun achieved a breakthrough in the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace, he found that his control over his true energy had reached a new level. If he wanted to resist before, Zhou Yun might only be able to hold up a complete lightning shield. But now, Zhou Yun only needs to stretch out his hand, and a dynamic lightning wall will immediately appear in front of Zhou Yun.

　　Bang!

　　Suddenly, Lin Juntian's palm slapped on Zhou Yun's electric wall, and a huge force immediately rebounded towards Lin Juntian.

　　The recoil force was so powerful that it pushed Lin Juntian more than ten meters into the air. After landing, Lin Juntian even retreated four or five steps before he could stabilize his body.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun standing there calmly, Lin Juntian felt an imbalance in his heart. All along, Lin Juntian felt that he was standing in a position to watch Zhou Yun's growth. In his opinion, it would be extremely difficult for Zhou Yun to surpass him. But now, Zhou Yun had surpassed him far after just one Shenwei training camp. That feeling made Lin Juntian crazy.

　　"Xue Yin!" Knowing that he was no match for Zhou Yun and had not been able to test Zhou Yun's cultivation level at all, Lin Juntian immediately let out a low shout.

　　In a flash, a white figure appeared behind Lin Juntian. It was Fang Xueying, whom he had just married.

　　"Zhou Yun, be careful." Fang Xueying looked at Zhou Yun with eyes as calm as water. Her hands gradually floated up and a surge of true energy was suddenly born.

　　In fact, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying had already discussed testing Zhou Yun's cultivation. After all, they all knew what kind of danger Zhou Yun would face when he left this time. Seeing what kind of power Zhou Yun had would directly determine how much protection the Lin family would give Zhou Yun.

　　After all, based on the relationship between Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao, the Lin family would never allow Zhou Yun to be in any danger.

　　Seeing Fang Xueying about to make a move, the expression on Zhou Yun's face remained unchanged. He had also sensed that although Fang Xueying's cultivation had already approached the peak of Martial Saint, her Qi and blood were a little deficient, and she was not in the best condition at this time.

　　Zhou Yun naturally knew the reason why Fang Xueying was deficient in qi and blood. Lin Junyao had already told him that Fang Xueying had married Lin Juntian yesterday.

　　"Sister-in-law, just go for it." Judging from his perception, Fang Xueying is no longer his opponent. Not to mention that she is short of energy and blood, even if Fang Xueying fights in the best condition, Zhou Yun is not afraid at all.

　　After getting Zhou Yun's answer, Fang Xueying's hands immediately drew a perfect circle, and suddenly, waves of power pressed towards Zhou Yun with great force.

　　"Zhenwu Treasure Wheel!" In an instant, the whole person became a little more holy, and Fang Xueyin slowly recited it in a majestic voice.

　　As Fang Xueying finished her words, although Zhou Yun did not speak, he had already put his hands behind his back, but his fists were clenched quietly at this time.

　　Fang Xueyin's Zhenwu Treasure Wheel is an extremely powerful one among the Liangyi Sect. It uses the Liangyi doctrine to mobilize the power of heaven and earth and suppress and encircle all things with the treasure wheel.

　　Bang!

　　As the power from all around surged towards him, Zhou Yun's dantian immediately shone with a blue light, and the lightning shield had been held up by Zhou Yun.

　　That terrifying force began to attack Zhou Yun from all directions, but it was still unable to break through Zhou Yun's lightning shield. The two forces continued to struggle, and the light shield on Zhou Yun's body continued to burst into bursts of light and dark changes.

　　This kind of wrestling lasted for more than a minute. Feeling that the time was almost up, Zhou Yun clenched his fists behind his back. Suddenly, a layer of purple light appeared on the surface of the lightning shield.

　　As soon as the purple light appeared, it immediately suppressed Fang Xueying's power.

　　"Disperse!" He uttered a word in a low voice, and the lightning shield on Zhou Yun's body suddenly shattered, and the power that Fang Xueying mobilized was also shaken far away at that moment, and there was no way to pose any threat to Zhou Yun anymore.

　　After Zhou Yun broke the Zhenwu Wheel, Fang Xueyin's face turned pale in an instant.

　　"Sister-in-law is very happy about her wedding, and her energy and blood are weak. It is not appropriate for her to fight with others at this time. But Zhou Yun really admires sister-in-law's cultivation, so I'm grateful for your kindness." Zhou Yun had already won this round, but he also felt the magic of Fang Xueying.

　　Fang Xueyin's power suppression on him just now was just to mobilize a small amount of true energy in her body to guide the natural forces of heaven and earth to attack Zhou Yun. This method was extremely fierce in both offense and defense, and consumed very little of its own energy.

　　In a fight between warriors, strength and endurance of true energy are extremely important. When fighting with Fang Xueying, once a stalemate occurs, Fang Xueying's unique ability can effectively limit her own consumption.

　　However, it can consume a lot of energy of the opponent, and will definitely defeat the opponent in the end.

　　Although Fang Xueying's cultivation level was only in the middle stage of Martial Saint and would soon approach the peak of Martial Saint, it still forced Zhou Yun to use 50% of his strength.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun also realized that the masters in the world are not that simple. Fang Xueying, a woman who is just over 20 years old, has such cultivation. The world is so big, and there are probably more powerful people. He still has to be careful when going out this time.

　　After hearing that sentence, Fang Xueyin's face flushed slightly, but she quickly recovered and returned to her calm and composed look.

　　"Zhou Yun, you are growing very fast. Maybe in another year or two you can truly stand at the top of the dynasty. Work hard." After leaving these words, Fang Xueying turned around and left the courtyard.

　　Unexpectedly, Fang Xueying was unable to force out Zhou Yun's strength. Lin Juntian now truly and thoroughly realized Zhou Yun's power.

　　Looking at Zhou Yun with some complexities, Lin Juntian spoke slowly, "I originally wanted to send someone to protect you, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary. Get ready, and you can go to the South China Sea in half a month."

　　After giving Zhou Yun his instructions, Lin Juntian shook his head with some disappointment, turned around and left.

　　Chapter 209 General Purple Thunder

　　Watching Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin leave one after another, Zhou Yun felt touched...

　　In Zhou Yun's opinion, the Lin family is really a good family. Although they have the sharpness and cruelty of the nobles, they do things openly and honestly. If it were not for this, Zhou Yun might have been wiped out by Lin Juntian in Heyang City at that time.

　　No matter what, the Lin family deserves Zhou Yun's gratitude.

　　After watching Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin leave, Zhou Yun also walked out of the courtyard and headed towards Lanxinyuan where Lin Junyao originally lived. He had just heard from Lin Junyao that Zhou Xue had been living with her in Lanxinyuan for some time and took good care of her on weekdays.

　　Although it was getting late, Zhou Yun knew that Zhou Xue must not have rested yet. The entire Lin family should have known about his return, and his sister Zhou Xue must still be waiting for him.

　　Although the Lin family mansion was huge, Zhou Yun was already somewhat familiar with it. Soon, Zhou Yun arrived at Lanxin Garden.

　　Sure enough, in the wing room of Lanxinyuan, a candle was still shining faintly. Through the window, Zhou Yun could clearly see a graceful figure in aqua blue clothes sitting in front of the window.

　　After returning from the Shenwei training camp, Zhou Yun was very excited when he saw Lin Junyao, and he felt exactly the same when he saw his sister Zhou Xue.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun gently pushed open the door of the room and walked in.

　　Although she didn't have any cultivation skills, Zhou Xue still noticed the creaking sound of the wooden door opening.

　　"Xiao Yun, is that you?" Zhou Xue stood up immediately, came out from behind the desk, and asked with some excitement.

　　Hearing this voice, Zhou Yun felt his heart soften at that moment. Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue, these two women were the softest places in Zhou Yun's heart, and he could never let them go no matter what time it was.

　　"Sister, I'm back." The figure had already passed through the front hall and came into the study. Looking at Zhou Xue standing there, Zhou Yun spoke emotionally.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun, Zhou Xue's face immediately showed an expression of pity. After not seeing him for seven months, when she saw Zhou Yun, Zhou Xue had clearly sensed the vicissitudes of life in her brother.

　　Obviously, Zhou Yun had suffered a lot during this period of time. Zhou Yun was only a 16-year-old boy, but the vicissitudes and maturity on his face were already very obvious. How could Zhou Xue not feel heartbroken?

　　"Xiao Yun, you have been wronged." Taking two steps forward, Zhou Xue grabbed Zhou Yun's hand, staring at the person in front of her in a daze, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

　　After not seeing each other for seven months, Zhou Yun missed Zhou Xue very much. Zhou Yun himself had become mature and experienced, and so had Zhou Xue. Although Zhou Xue was smiling with red eyes at this time, Zhou Yun could also feel the misery in Zhou Xue's heart.

　　I'm afraid that in addition to missing myself, it is also related to Li Yi.

　　"Sister, I'm not wronged, everything is fine with me." Zhou Yun took a breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and smiled, "Sister, this time I go to the South China Sea, you should come with me. We will stop in Heyang City to marry you and Li Yi."

　　Before he knew it, another year had passed and his sister Zhou Xue was almost twenty years old. Zhou Yun really didn't want his sister's marriage to be delayed too long.

　　After not seeing each other for seven months, Zhou Yun's longing for Jun Yao had already made him very uncomfortable. How could Zhou Xue not miss Li Yi? But Zhou Yun knew that his sister was a person who could endure grievances and would not say anything more.

　　Sure enough, when Zhou Xue heard Zhou Yun say this, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.

　　"Okay." After nodding in agreement, Zhou Xue immediately smiled with relief.

　　Under the moonlight, Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue snuggled together gently, experiencing this rare family affection.

　　The first day Zhou Yun returned to the Lin family passed slowly in peace and tranquility. The next morning, the transfer order from the Ministry of War was also passed on to the Lin family.

　　Along with the rumbling of war drums, the Ministry of War’s transfer order was officially transmitted to the Lin family mansion.

　　"Zhou Yun, the top student in the Shenwei Training Camp, listen to my orders!"

　　As soon as they entered the Lin family's mansion, the messenger from the Ministry of War immediately spoke loudly.

　　When the sound of war drums was heard just now, all the servants of the Lin family immediately took action quickly, taking their positions to welcome the messenger from the Ministry of War.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun was having breakfast with Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue. Hearing the voice, Zhou Yun stood up immediately.

　　"Zhou Yun, shall I go with you?" Hearing the message, Lin Junyao's face turned a little gloomy. After hearing the message, Lin Junyao knew that Zhou Yun's departure might enter the countdown again.

　　"It's okay, I'll be back soon." Zhou Yun smiled and patted Lin Junyao's hand gently.

　　Zhou Yun had already prepared for the destination and time of this transfer order, so he didn't think there was any problem. Before leaving, Zhou Yun still had some time to accompany Lin Junyao.

　　After coming out of Lanxin Garden, Zhou Yun straightened his clothes and walked towards the front of the Lin family's courtyard calmly. Although the Lin family was a duke's family with a very high status, they still had to pay attention to the official documents from two places, one was the palace, and the other was the Ministry of War controlled by General Shenwei.

　　All along the way, the servants of the Lin family on both sides stood respectfully in their places. Although the messenger could not see them at all, they were all very well-behaved.

　　Soon, Zhou Yun followed the sound and came to the front yard of the Lin family compound. Outside the steps in front of the main entrance of the Lin family mansion, a team of soldiers wearing nine-ring pure steel armor were already waiting there. Although there were only sixteen people, the team was still lined up very neatly.

　　In the middle of two rows of eight people, a general holding a red silk cloth was standing there majestically.

　　"Zhou Yun, listen to my orders!" Seeing Zhou Yun coming, the messenger immediately spoke in a serious tone.

　　"Zhou Yun is here." His expression became serious. Zhou Yun responded and then clasped his fists and bowed.

　　puff!

　　With a slight shake, the silk was completely unfolded.

　　"The Ministry of War has issued an order. Zhou Yun, a student of the Shenwei Training Camp, has been diligent in training and fearless of dangers and hardships. He has won the first place. He will be awarded a set of golden chain armor, a nine-forged star iron sword, and the title of General Zilei. He will command 20,000 soldiers and 50 warships and will officially enter the South China Sea Left Wing Camp on January 1 next year. Order of General Shenwei!"

　　Comparing the contents on the silk, the messenger read out the order clearly word for word.

　　As soon as this military order was issued, almost all the servants of the Lin family, including Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying who were hiding in the garden and had not come out, were a little surprised.

　　Lin Juntian had coordinated with the Ministry of War in advance, hoping to allow Zhou Yun a month to deal with his own affairs before he joined the army, but he did not ask much about Zhou Yun's position.

　　As the top student in the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun’s position would not be too low, but Lin Juntian never expected that Zhou Yun would become a general right from the start!

　　The title of general, with 20,000 troops and 50 warships, was already an extremely powerful force in the military of the Tianyuan Dynasty. The previous step was the General of the South China Sea.

　　"Zhou Yun, obey the order!" Zhou Yun was also surprised at this time. He originally thought that the most he would be appointed as a lieutenant general this time, commanding 5,000 troops, but he did not expect to be directly appointed as a general. This was also something Zhou Yun had not expected. However, Zhou Yun was not afraid of such a high position now. With Zhou Yun's military strength, he was definitely qualified for this position.

　　Taking two steps forward, Zhou Yun took the silk from the messenger and held it carefully in his hands. A servant of the Lin family also quickly took the reward of armor, sword, and token from the messenger's entourage.

　　"You must rush to the South China Sea Left Wing Camp before January 1st. The South China Sea is not peaceful right now. Not only are Fengshen and Nissan countries on the rise, they are becoming more rampant. There are also many remnants of major martial arts sects causing trouble there. General Shenwei hopes that you can stabilize the South China Sea and provide a safe rice and grain rear for the dynasty!"

　　Having handed the silk to Zhou Yun, the messenger did not leave in a hurry, but stayed and gave some instructions to Zhou Yun.

　　"Please rest assured, General Shenwei. Zhou Yun will do his best." Nodding, Zhou Yun spoke solemnly.

　　After looking at Zhou Yun with satisfaction, the messenger waved his hand and turned away with the soldiers from the Ministry of War.

　　After the messenger left, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin also walked out of the mansion.

　　"Zhou Yun, the higher your position, the more difficult the work will be and the greater the pressure you will bear. You must be careful about everything when you go to the South China Sea this time." Lin Juntian spoke calmly, standing next to Zhou Yun.

　　After Lin Juntian finished speaking, Fang Xueyin immediately said, "If you need help with money and grain channels, you can let us know in advance."

　　After listening to what the two said, Zhou Yun began to think silently in his heart. Zhou Yun had heard before that if you want to do well in the army, you must have your own channels of money and food.

　　The money and food supplied by the court were simply not enough. Moreover, when a new military officer arrived at a place, he would have to make great efforts to win the hearts of the soldiers, which was also a relatively large expense.

　　"If you want to do this, maybe Li Yi can help me." This time Zhou Yun didn't want the Lin family to help him. After thinking about it, Zhou Yun immediately thought of Li Yi from Heyang City.

　　The Li family is also very powerful in this regard. If we can find them for help, it might be a good choice.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately spoke up, "Brother, sister-in-law, there is still a month until January 1st. I want to leave the capital in advance and take my sister and Jun Yao back to Heyang. Can you send someone to protect Jun Yao? Can she be guaranteed to be safe when she returns from Heyang?"

　　Having sorted out his thoughts, Zhou Yun immediately spoke to Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin beside him.

　　"Do you want to take Jun Yao back to Heyang?" Looking at Zhou Yun, Lin Juntian raised his eyebrows and asked.

　　"Yes, I want to arrange my sister's wedding within this month. In addition, some other preparations need to be completed in Heyang. I want to spend more time with Jun Yao, so I want to take her to Heyang, but I'm afraid I don't have time to send her back this time." Zhou Yun nodded and said.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's thoughts, Lin Juntian thought silently for a moment, and finally nodded, "In that case, you can take her back. You don't have to worry about Jun Yao's safety."

　　With a hint of joy in his eyes, Zhou Yun hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, brother."

　　Chapter 210 Murder in the Palace

　　After bidding farewell to Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin, Zhou Yun stored the weapons and armor awarded by the Ministry of War into his space ring and headed towards Lan Xinyuan.

　　This time, Zhou Yun received a position one level higher than expected. This also directly led to the re-planning of Zhou Yun's preparations. After all, the concept of commanding 20,000 people is completely different from commanding 5,000 people.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun also had to return to Heyang City earlier to discuss with Li Yi in order to make complete preparations.

　　"Zhou Yun. How's it going?" Seeing Zhou Yun walk into Lanxin Garden, Lin Junyao, who had been waiting there, immediately ran up.

　　In the lobby of Lanxinyuan, Zhou Xue was also standing there. Although she didn't run up, the questioning look in her eyes was exactly the same as Lin Junyao's.

　　Holding Lin Junyao's hand, Zhou Yun smiled. He raised the silk in his hand and said, "Sister, Junyao, I have been appointed by General Zi Lei of the Ministry of War to lead the left wing of the South China Sea Navy. I will officially take office on January 1st."

　　"Ah." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao cheered immediately. Although she didn't care much about power, as the daughter of a duke, Lin Junyao was very familiar with the military ranks of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　She naturally knew what the position of general represented. Most people of this position level were marquises or above in the dynasty system.

　　With Zhou Yun being named a general, the barriers between their identities have been completely cleared.

　　He quietly watched Lin Junyao cheering in front of him. He was happy with Lin Junyao. After a long time, when the hall finally quieted down, Zhou Yun took Lin Junyao to sit down.

　　"Jun Yao, sister, I will prepare immediately and return to Heyang in the next few days. This time my position is higher than expected, so I need more time to prepare. I want to return to Heyang earlier to get married to sister and Li Yi. At the same time, prepare for the next step of entering the South China Sea." Sitting on the chair, Zhou Yun spoke to Zhou Xue and Lin Jun Yao.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Zhou Xue immediately showed an expectant smile on her face. Lin Junyao was a little stunned. Zhou Yun was about to leave. So how much time did they spend together...

　　Naturally, he felt the change in Lin Junyao. Zhou Yun held Lin Junyao's hand and comforted her. "Junyao, you have to accompany me to Heyang this time. How can you not attend my sister's wedding? I have already told the prince. He will send someone to take you there. At the same time, he will protect your safety when you return."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao's worries immediately disappeared. In fact, she didn't have too many thoughts. She just hoped to be with Zhou Yun more often.

　　If she could accompany Zhou Yun to Heyang City, she would not only be able to attend Zhou Xue's wedding, but also spend more time with Zhou Yun than before. Under such circumstances, what else could Lin Junyao be dissatisfied with?

　　"Miss, the third princess's secret letter." Just as the three of them were sitting together, discussing the day to officially return to Heyang, Lan Cang's hoarse voice came in.

　　After hearing Lan Cang's voice, Lin Junyao immediately stood up and took the letter.

　　Lin Junyao opened the blue letter and took a quick look at it before closing it. She turned around and spoke to Zhou Yun. "Zhou Yun, the third princess invites you to the palace."

　　When Lan Cang mentioned the third princess just now, Zhou Yun had already vaguely thought of this matter. The two had already made such an agreement when they parted at the Shenwei training camp. It was just that Zhou Yun had been immersed in the joy of meeting Jun Yao for the past day and had forgotten about this matter.

　　Nodding, Zhou Yun said, "Jun Yao, do you want to go with me?"

　　A smile appeared on her face. Lin Junyao shook her head slightly. She said, "You go by yourself. I still need to pack my luggage for Heyang with my sister. I won't go there anymore."

　　In fact, Lin Junyao didn't know what else Zhou Yun was doing in the palace this time, and she didn't want to get involved. But there was one thing that Lin Junyao understood, that is, Li Xiaoxiao must be in the palace at this time.

　　After spending some time together, Lin Junyao had a better understanding of Li Xiaoxiao's personality. Zhou Yun had returned from the Shenwei training camp. Li Xiaoxiao couldn't have been unaware of it. But she didn't come to the Lin family yesterday or today, just to avoid disturbing her time with Zhou Yun.

　　This was already extremely rare for Li Xiaoxiao. Lin Junyao had already seen that Li Xiaoxiao's feelings for Zhou Yun were also very deep. At this time, I'm afraid that she missed Zhou Yun just as much.

　　In this situation, if I follow him, it would seem a bit petty.

　　Although he didn't know what Lin Junyao was thinking, but Junyao said she didn't want to go, Zhou Yun wouldn't force her.

　　"Junyao, sister. I'll go first. You don't have to worry too much. We should leave for Heyang in three days. There's still a lot of time. Don't tire yourself out." Zhou Yun stood up and instructed Zhou Xue and Lin Junyao.

　　Nodding. Zhou Xue smiled slightly. She said, "Don't worry, Xiaoyun. Junyao and I will take care of these things. You should be careful."

　　"Yeah." Zhou Yun responded with a smile and turned to leave Lanxinyuan.

　　No matter what, this was summoned by the Third Princess herself. Such a matter cannot be neglected in any way.

　　After leaving Lanxin Garden, Zhou Yun received a group of fast horses and ran directly to the location of the imperial palace.

　　Since he reached the peak of the Martial Saint level and broke through to the Realm Master stage, Zhou Yun's spiritual perception ability has become even stronger. Even without someone to show him the way, Zhou Yun can easily find the location of the palace in the imperial city.

　　Soon, Zhou Yun rode his horse to the west gate of the palace.

　　Approaching the towering imperial city, Zhou Yun immediately sensed a strong aura lurking in the deep palace in front of him. Some of these auras were not as strong as Zhou Yun's, while some were stronger than him. There were even one or two auras that were so strong that even Zhou Yun could not sense their depth.

　　"There are so many super masters in the imperial city." Feeling the breath, Zhou Yun couldn't help but speak silently in his heart.

　　Zhou Yun originally thought that he was not weak with his current cultivation, especially after he made a breakthrough in Shenxiao Leiyun Palace. Zhou Yun had sensed it when he left Shenxiao Leiyun Palace. Although he was not as good as General Hu Pen at that time, he was not far behind.

　　Zhou Yun was confident. As long as he could master the Wanxiang Benlei Fist, he could be on the same level as General Hupeng, or even surpass him.

　　According to Zhou Yun's judgment, General Hu Peng is already close to the top of the entire dynasty. The only two people who can surpass General Hu Peng are probably the emperor and General Shenwei. But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

　　"There is a reason why the Tianyuan Dynasty can dominate the richest area of ​​the Tianyuan Continent. It seems that I am still far from it." Zhou Yun got off the horse and looked at the towering imperial city in front of him. He muttered to himself and put away his spiritual sense.

　　Since his power is not the best in this imperial city, it is better not to release his spiritual sense casually.

　　After handing the horse over to a guard in front of the Imperial City, Zhou Yun walked towards the west gate of the Imperial City.

　　"Who is coming?" In the west gate of the imperial city, two rows of red-clad guards stood there with their bodies erect like javelins. Until Zhou Yun walked onto the arch bridge of the west gate and crossed the center of the moat.

　　The guards in the doorway just turned around and shouted at Zhou Yun.

　　As the guards turned around, a pressure immediately swept over Zhou Yun. The majesty in it was extremely terrifying.

　　"Sixteen warriors who have reached the peak of their internal organ blood exchange skills can actually create such a powerful force when their qi and blood are gathered together." Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel secretly shocked as he felt the pressure from the sixteen warriors' shouts.

　　Zhou Yun already knew the cultivation of these guards. They were all at the peak of the internal organ blood exchange stage and had not yet reached the martial saint realm. Logically speaking, Zhou Yun would not take such warriors seriously, let alone sixteen, thirty-two, or sixty-four.

　　This had already been proven when facing the Luo family in the Black Flame Continent. At that time, Zhou Yun's cultivation was far inferior to what it is now. But dozens of Luo family warriors who practiced blood exchange could not bring Zhou Yun any pressure.

　　But now, there were only sixteen warriors who practiced blood exchange. Their qi and blood were combined into one. They were oppressing Zhou Yun in a unified way.

　　"It seems that victory is not guaranteed by superior military strength. Military training, battle formation assembly, and momentum concentration are equally important." Looking at these sixteen warriors and recalling his past experiences, Zhou Yun also had a glimmer of enlightenment in his heart.

　　But these are not things that should be considered right now. Zhou Yun clasped his fists towards the guards and said, "I am Zhou Yun from the Shenwei Training Camp. I am summoned by the Third Princess to visit the palace."

　　The loud voice came out. The pressure was immediately resolved by Zhou Yun. After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the guards also took a step back in unison. Although the passage of the west gate was extremely spacious, even if they didn't let Zhou Yun pass, it was enough for him to pass. But this action still showed their attitude.

　　Seeing the actions of these warriors, Zhou Yun did not stop and walked straight into the west gate.

　　Passing through the long doorway of the west gate of the imperial city, Zhou Yun finally set foot in the imperial city for the first time. As soon as he entered the imperial city, Zhou Yun immediately felt the difference here. It seemed that the true power and spiritual power in this area were much richer than those outside. The whole area seemed mysterious and had a sense of ease and contentment. It was like a fairyland.

　　"Master Zhou Yun, please follow me." Not long after he left the west gate, a young eunuch in gray immediately appeared in front of Zhou Yun. He bowed respectfully and spoke to him.

　　Knowing that this young eunuch was here to lead the way for him, Zhou Yun did not refuse. He nodded. "Okay. You lead the way."

　　"Yes." After replying, the young eunuch immediately walked in front of Zhou Yun.

　　Up to now, Zhou Yun has seen some noble mansions, including the Li family, the Lin family in the capital, and the mansions near the Lin family. Although Zhou Yun has never been inside, he can still explore the general situation when his spiritual sense covers it.

　　But this area of ​​the Imperial City is different from all other places. The mysterious atmosphere with a refreshing and pleasant feeling makes Zhou Yun feel very comfortable.

　　Before he knew it, Zhou Yun had already been immersed in it.

　　At this time, the servant had already taken Zhou Yun away for half an hour.

　　"How could it take so long to arrive..." Suddenly, Zhou Yun sensed a hint of danger and stopped immediately.

　　"Master Zhou Yun, we are almost there. Why don't you leave?" Feeling Zhou Yun stop, the servant immediately turned around and looked at Zhou Yun. He spoke with a smile on his face.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun had already sensed that several dangerous auras were locking onto him. Feeling this danger, Zhou Yun was immediately surprised. This palace was indeed extraordinary. It could actually affect people's minds without them realizing it, causing them to relax their vigilance.

　　Staring at the young eunuch, Zhou Yun's inner strength began to circulate silently. His expression turned cold. Zhou Yun knew that he had many enemies. But he did not expect that these people would dare to attack openly in the palace.

　　"All of you come out." The power of the thundercloud around him was gradually floating. Zhou Yun's aura also changed instantly. He stood there with a serious expression and spoke coldly.

　　Chapter 211 Qiuyue Palace

　　This time when Zhou Yun entered the palace, he was in a very relaxed state. After experiencing a series of battles in the Shenwei training camp, Zhou Yun needed some time to rest. He even did not practice for two days...

　　Originally, he thought that those who were targeting him would definitely wait until he left the capital even if they wanted to take action. Zhou Yun never expected that these people would be so bold as to dare to take action openly in the palace!

　　As Zhou Yun finished his words, several masked black shadows immediately appeared in front of Zhou Yun.

　　Two warriors at the peak of Martial Saint level and four warriors at the middle level of Martial Saint level, such strength is definitely a powerful force in the Tianyuan Dynasty. It seems that these people are really willing to spend all their money to deal with me.

　　"Zhou Yun, today is the day you die." This group of people was obviously led by the two warriors who had reached the peak of Martial Saint. After they showed up, one of them immediately spoke to Zhou Yun, his words full of coldness.

　　The power in his body was slowly gathering. Zhou Yun looked calm, "You are really brave enough to commit crimes in the palace. Do you really not take His Majesty and the mighty general seriously?"

　　In fact, the other party can make such a move and arrange a young eunuch as a backup, so the identity of the hostile party is obvious.

　　The one who can possess such power in the imperial palace must be either the crown prince or the third prince.

　　Zhou Yun had already heard from Lin Junyao about being forced into marriage. In Zhou Yun's opinion, this incident was more like the prince's work.

　　After the incident of Lin Junyao forcing him to marry, Zhou Yun had actually entered a stage of breaking up with the crown prince. Anyone who dared to hurt Junyao would definitely be on the opposite side of Zhou Yun.

　　Facing today's events, Zhou Yun already had a plan in mind. Now he was the top student in the Shenwei training camp, a disciple of General Shenwei, and was named General Zilei. His status was already different. If these people dared to kill him here, Zhou Yun would dare to make a big deal. Even if he had to kill all of them, he would not hesitate!

　　“Humph, committing a crime in public? Who would know about this? As long as you die, we have plenty of ways to deal with this matter. Come and die!” With a cold snort, the leading martial arts master spoke again...

　　Although this ambush plan was arranged temporarily, it was very thorough and they were sure that Zhou Yun would not be able to get out.

　　Two Martial Saints at the peak level and four Martial Saints in the middle level, in their opinion, such power was enough to make Zhou Yun unable to escape.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun was surrounded, the young eunuch who led Zhou Yun here showed a sinister smile on his face and began to slowly retreat, wanting to leave.

　　With his level of cultivation, a battle of this level is simply not something he can participate in. Things have been done, and he has gained his benefits, so why is he still staying here?

　　"Still want to leave?" Naturally noticing the little eunuch's actions, Zhou Yun sneered and clenched his fists. Suddenly, layers of thunder and lightning power began to densely cover Zhou Yun's body.

　　As the power of thunder and lightning gathered, rolling dark clouds gathered above Zhou Yun's head in an instant. This was the most powerful move in the Wanxiang Benlei Fist that Zhou Yun currently mastered, the Wanxiang Thunder Prison, a great novel:!

　　After breaking through the peak level of Martial Saint and entering the realm of realm, Zhou Yun's control over the Myriad Things Thunder Fist has entered a new level. Now, the Myriad Things Thunder Prison can be controlled by Zhou Yun at will, and there is no longer a situation where he has to use all his strength to launch frantic and disorderly attacks as soon as it is released.

　　After that layer of thunderclouds gathered, layers of pressure brought by electric arcs immediately emerged in the surrounding air. Looking at the little eunuch who was about to retreat in the distance, Zhou Yun slightly pointed his finger, and suddenly, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl suddenly struck down.

　　boom!

　　Completely unprepared for this sudden attack, the young eunuch was struck by Zhou Yun's thunder and turned into a piece of charcoal!

　　In fact, no matter how prepared he was, he could not escape this attack.

　　"How dare you!" Seeing Zhou Yun actually kill the young eunuch in front of them, the two leading warriors immediately became furious. Although the young eunuch's death was not a pity, Zhou Yun's behavior was a slap in the face...

　　They thought they had Zhou Yun under control, but they didn't expect that Zhou Yun didn't care about them at all and even killed people right in front of them!

　　"superior!"

　　With a wild roar, the two leading warriors immediately pounced towards Zhou Yun. They stretched out their bodies and suddenly pounced towards Zhou Yun fiercely like two arrogant rocs.

　　The other four warriors who were at the middle level of Martial Saint also pounced towards Zhou Yun together!

　　Suddenly, waves of true energy emanated from these people's bodies and violently crushed towards Zhou Yun's body.

　　In the eyes of these six people, Zhou Yun was trapped in their encirclement and his death was a foregone conclusion, with no room for maneuver.

　　"Pathetic man." Feeling the intensity of the attacks from the six people around him, Zhou Yun sneered.

　　He clenched his fists, and suddenly, a flash of purple lightning floated out from Zhou Yun's dantian. Suddenly, Zhou Yun directly held up the purple light shield, guarding the surroundings without a single gap!

　　Bang bang bang!

　　Then, six powerful attacks hit the purple light shield held up by Zhou Yun.

　　Buzz...!

　　Attacked by such intensive force, the lightning shield held up by Zhou Yun immediately let out a mournful roar, as if it would shatter in the next second. However, it was only about to shatter, and it did not shatter. Zhou Yun still relied on this light shield to block this wave of attacks!

　　Feeling the six warriors surrounding him, Zhou Yun showed a cruel smile on his face.

　　"Since you dare to kill me, you must be prepared to fight back!" A cold voice came out, and Zhou Yun's fists suddenly clenched again. Suddenly, a powerful blue lightning mixed with a little purple light immediately passed from Zhou Yun's head into the layers of thunderclouds.

　　Then, violent thunder and lightning began to bombard the clouds crazily!

　　Seeing these violent lightning beams, the expressions of the two leading warriors changed immediately. They had never imagined that Zhou Yun was so powerful!

　　"retreat!"

　　A trace of unwillingness flashed in the eyes of the leading warrior, and he wanted to leave immediately!

　　But it was not so easy to leave at this time. Zhou Yun's strength had been fully mobilized. This time, the lightning was not a random attack at all, but a conscious attack towards the six warriors!

　　Boom boom boom boom!

　　In the frenzy of thunder and lightning, the four warriors in the middle stage of Martial Saint were the first to collapse, and were wiped out one after another by Zhou Yun's all-encompassing thundercloud. The violent thunder struck them on their heads, and even though these people had reached the middle stage of Martial Saint, they still could not hold on at all. Once hit by a bolt of lightning, they fell to the ground like a piece of charcoal. In less than ten seconds, the four warriors in the middle stage of Martial Saint had been hit and wiped out by Zhou Yun!

　　Even the two warriors who had reached the peak of Martial Saint were in trouble at this moment. One of them was even hit on the arm by a bolt of lightning from Zhou Yun while he was frantically dodging. Before being burned to charcoal, the warrior reluctantly broke his arm and only then was he able to withdraw from the range of the lightning.

　　Having lost an arm, the warrior immediately broke out in cold sweat. Holding back the pain, the warrior looked at Zhou Yun and said harshly, "Zhou Yun, just wait! If you offend the crown prince, you will surely die!"

　　After leaving behind these harsh words, the two warriors immediately retreated madly and disappeared into the intricate garden of the imperial palace.

　　call!

　　Exhaling deeply, Zhou Yun did not chase after him, but quickly dodged into the flowers nearby, walked for a while, and left the area.

　　Although Zhou Yun was attacked by surprise, this is the imperial palace after all. If something big happened here, Zhou Yun would definitely not benefit from it.

　　Just now, Zhou Yun had already felt that several forces more powerful than those of the two peak Martial Saints were rushing towards him.

　　After walking for a cup of tea, Zhou Yun was far away from where he was just now. But Zhou Yun still felt that those powerful forces were still locking onto him.

　　After tidying up his clothes, Zhou Yun found a vacant space where patrolling warriors were standing, and appeared from a garden. At this time, a group of palace maids happened to pass by on the path in the garden. Zhou Yun immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists and spoke.

　　"Madam, I am Zhou Yun. I am summoned by the Third Princess to visit the palace. Please help me find the location of Qiuyue Palace."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, several palace maids looked at each other, and one of them immediately pointed to a quiet palace in the distance and said, "That's Qiuyue Palace, Master Zhou can go there by himself."

　　Looking at the palace pointed out by the palace maid, Zhou Yun felt lucky. He didn't expect that he would end up so close to Qiuyue Palace after running aimlessly.

　　"Thank you." After thanking the palace maids, Zhou Yun immediately turned and walked towards Qiuyue Palace.

　　Soon, this distance disappeared under Zhou Yun's feet, and Zhou Yun also arrived at the gate of Qiuyue Palace.

　　Looking at the three words "Qiuyue Palace" on the plaque in front of the palace gate, Zhou Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

　　"I'm Zhou Yun, summoned to meet the third princess. Please inform her." Walking to a position twenty meters away from the entrance of Qiuyue Palace, Zhou Yun clasped his fists and spoke to the guards at the door.

　　As soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, before the guards at the gate of Qiuyue Palace could reply, a palace maid with excellent appearance had already walked out of Qiuyue Palace.

　　"This must be Young Master Zhou Yun. The third princess is waiting in the small attic. Please follow me." Looking at Zhou Yun, the palace maid spoke politely.

　　"Thank you." Nodding, Zhou Yun followed the palace maid and quickly walked into Qiuyue Palace.

　　The Qiuyue Palace does not occupy a large area. After passing through the front garden, Zhou Yun came to the small garden of the Qiuyue Palace. At the back of the small garden, an exquisite palace stood there quietly, and on the front side of the palace there was a gorgeous small attic.

　　"Master Zhou Yun, the third princess is upstairs in the small attic. Please go up by yourself." The palace maid stopped and smiled at Zhou Yun, speaking.

　　"Thank you." Zhou Yun saluted again and walked straight up to the small attic.

　　At this time, several powerful forces that had been tracking Zhou Yun also stopped at the gate of Qiuyue Palace.

　　Chapter 212 Lu Yan

　　He went straight to the third floor of Qiuyue Palace. Soon, Li Wanqiu, who was sitting there quietly, and Li Xiaoxiao, who looked anxiously waiting, came into Zhou Yun's sight.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun, Li Xiaoxiao's face immediately showed a hint of joy, and she rushed over directly, "Zhou Yun, you are finally back!"

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao happily rushing towards her, Zhou Yun also had a smile on her face. When she was chatting with Lin Junyao that day, Zhou Yun had already understood Junyao's opinion on this matter. She didn't mind accepting Li Xiaoxiao...

　　In this case, Zhou Yun would not refuse any more. Li Xiaoxiao was indeed a girl worth liking, and she had helped him a lot, especially in his most difficult times.

　　Li Xiaoxiao threw herself directly into Zhou Yun's arms, her little face pressed tightly against his chest, not minding at all that Li Wanqiu was right next to her.

　　However, Zhou Yun still had some unresolved problems at this time. He patted Li Xiaoxiao on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoxiao, sit down first. There are people behind you. Let's talk after we finish this matter."

　　Zhou Yun's tone was very serious. After hearing what Zhou Yun said, although Li Xiaoxiao didn't know what happened, she turned around quickly and sat in her seat obediently.

　　Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yun also sat down next to Li Xiaoxiao, face to face with Li Wanqiu.

　　Just as I sat down, a figure immediately walked up from the stairs below.

　　"Greetings, Third Princess." The man was wearing a black suit. He was about forty years old, thin, and had a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon. Although he was greeting Li Wanqiu, as soon as he went upstairs, his eyes immediately fixed on Zhou Yun.

　　"Well, what's the matter, Lord Lu?" The expression on his face remained calm, without any change. Li Wanqiu spoke while pouring tea for Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao.

　　After looking at Li Xiaoxiao and then Zhou Yun, Lu Yan slowly said, "Third Princess, a murder just happened in the palace. Several palace guards died. I suspect an assassin sneaked into the palace. Did the Third Princess see anyone suspicious?"

　　While speaking, Lu Yan's gaze was once again focused on Zhou Yun, as if he wanted to see through Zhou Yun.

　　Li Wanqiu was very smart. He understood the situation as soon as he saw it. Putting down the teapot in his hand, Li Wanqiu said calmly, "Today I invited Zhou Yun to come and reminisce about the past and talk about some things in the Shenwei training camp. The three of us have been here all the time and have not seen any suspicious people."

　　After hearing what Li Wanqiu said, Lu Yan's face flashed with a sinister look, and he insisted, "Third Princess, it's better to be careful. The capital has not been peaceful recently. If you make any mistakes, I'm afraid our Imperial Guard Department will not be able to escape responsibility."

　　After saying this, Lu Yan's gaze turned to Zhou Yun again, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes. Lu Yan slowly said, "Sir, you must have just come up not long ago. Can you tell me what you were doing just now?"

　　As these words were spoken, a powerful aura immediately emanated from Lu Yan and swept towards Zhou Yun.

　　The reason why Zhou Yun left quickly after killing someone just now was because he was afraid of Lu Yan. From Zhou Yun's perception, Lu Yan's cultivation level was not something he could resist. Although he would not be killed, once a fight started, not only would the noise be very loud, but it would also be impossible to end in a short period of time.

　　Zhou Yun came to Qiuyue Palace in such a hurry just to avoid Lu Yan.

　　Picking up the teacup in front of him, Zhou Yun took a sip, and his whole body entered a state of clarity of mind. The pressure from Lu Yan immediately passed through Zhou Yun's body and could not cause any effect on him.

　　Putting down the teacup he had just taken a sip of, Zhou Yun said, "Lord Lu, when I entered the palace, I was led by a little eunuch and came directly to Qiuyue Palace, not to any other place."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lu Yan showed a grim smile on his face and said slowly, "I'm afraid that what you said is not right. You clearly came from the cold palace just now, and you also killed four palace guards. I have locked your breath, so there is no mistake. Please come with me."

　　Zhou Yun sat there quietly without any expression, neither refusing nor objecting.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun had completely ignored him, Lu Yan's face immediately showed a trace of anger, "Zhou Yun, you are so arrogant. Today I want to see what you have the capital to be so arrogant in the imperial palace!"

　　After saying this, Lu Yan wanted to walk up and forcibly take Zhou Yun away.

　　"presumptuous!"

　　Just as Lu Yan made a move, a cold and delicate shout was heard. Hearing this voice, Lu Yan's movements immediately froze.

　　This voice came from Li Wanqiu, who was standing by. Her expression had turned cold. Li Wanqiu looked at Lu Yan and said sharply, "Lu Yan, you broke into Qiuyue Palace without permission and went upstairs. I haven't punished you yet. But you want to take my guest away directly. Don't you take me, the princess of the dynasty, seriously at all?"

　　When Lu Yan heard Li Wanqiu say this, a look of panic immediately appeared on his face, "I dare not!"

　　Stopping the action of capturing Zhou Yun, Lu Yan hurriedly bowed to Li Wanqiu.

　　"I've said it before, Zhou Yun has been staying here with me and hasn't been anywhere else. There is an assassin in the palace, so you should speed up the investigation and don't waste your time here. If there's nothing else, you can leave." With a hint of impatience on his face, Li Wanqiu waved his hand and spoke.

　　Staring at Zhou Yun, a hint of unwillingness flashed across Lu Yan's eyes, but he finally retreated.

　　Zhou Yun sat there quietly without saying anything until he felt that Lu Yan had completely left. Then he spoke, "Third Princess, thank you very much."

　　Li Wanqiu nodded casually, not caring about Zhou Yun's thanks, but asked, "What happened just now?"

　　Li Wanqiu had already asked, and Zhou Yun did not hide anything, telling him everything that had just happened.

　　After hearing what Zhou Yun said, Li Wanqiu hadn't said anything yet, but Li Xiaoxiao had already shouted, "These bastards are so bold that they dare to openly attack in the palace! Even the prince can't be so arrogant!"

　　While talking, Li Xiaoxiao was observing Zhou Yun carefully, trying to make sure if Zhou Yun was injured.

　　Smiling at Li Xiaoxiao, Zhou Yun patted her hands gently, signaling her to be patient, and then said to Li Wanqiu, "Third Princess, I feel that those warriors are not the prince's men. When they left, they emphasized the prince, which was a bit too much. Third Princess, I wonder which faction these people belong to?"

　　Nodding approvingly at Zhou Yun, Li Wanqiu said, "It was the Third Prince. I don't know who those warriors who besieged you are, but this Lu Yan is the Third Prince's man. Of the three princes in the palace, the Crown Prince is overbearing and arrogant, and the Third Prince is insidious and ruthless. This incident looks like the work of the Third Prince."

　　"Well, they surrounded and killed the enemy in the palace by surprise. If it succeeds, it's good. But if it fails, they can put the blame on other people. It's really insidious and cruel." Zhou Yun agreed with Li Wanqiu's words and spoke silently.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's calm appearance, as if he was not nervous at all because of the opponent's powerful strength, Li Wanqiu couldn't help but smile.

　　"Zhou Yun, you talk to Xiaoxiao here, I won't disturb you. When you leave, just come to the main hall to find me." After looking at Zhou Yun, then at Li Xiaoxiao who looked a little anxious beside Zhou Yun, Li Wanqiu stood up and spoke.

　　From the beginning, Li Xiaoxiao had been hoping for a chance to have a good talk with Zhou Yun. It had been quite some time since she left the Shenwei training camp. During this period of time, Li Xiaoxiao had not seen Zhou Yun, so she naturally missed him a lot. Upon hearing Li Wanqiu's words, a smile immediately appeared on Li Xiaoxiao's face.

　　Looking at Li Xiaoxiao who was suddenly delighted beside him, Zhou Yun could only shake his head helplessly.

　　"Please make yourself at your service, Third Princess. I will visit you again later." Zhou Yun stood up and bowed respectfully.

　　Nodding to Zhou Yun and Li Xiaoxiao, Li Wanqiu turned and left the attic.

　　"Zhou Yun, you bad guy!" Li Wanqiu had just left when Li Xiaoxiao threw herself into Zhou Yun's arms and started beating Zhou Yun with her little fists.

　　"I thought you would come to see me last night. Don't you care about my feelings at all?" After lying in Zhou Yun's arms for a while, Li Xiaoxiao spoke with some grievance.

　　Li Xiaoxiao was the first to receive the news that Zhou Yun had come out of the Shenwei training camp. He also understood that Zhou Yun had to accompany Lin Junyao first, but no matter what, he should be able to spare some time to see her on the first day, but Li Xiaoxiao did not wait for Zhou Yun at all.

　　It was only at this time that Zhou Yun discovered that there were some bloodshot eyes in Li Xiaoxiao, which was obviously caused by lack of rest.

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao like this, Zhou Yun's heart softened.

　　"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry. It was my negligence." Raising his hand, Zhou Yun gently patted Li Xiaoxiao's back and spoke softly.

　　Listening to Zhou Yun's gentle words, Li Xiaoxiao's grievances seemed to be lifted all at once. She was no longer emotional, and became well-behaved. She lay quietly in Zhou Yun's arms, not crying, not making a fuss, and not talking.

　　Feeling Li Xiaoxiao's friendship, Zhou Yun also felt a little guilty. Now, his mind is on Lin Junyao. In addition to Lin Junyao, Zhou Yun needs to do many important things. Now Zhou Yun is about to leave the capital, and in the month before arriving at the military camp, Zhou Yun must take a lot of time to practice. Even Lin Junyao doesn't have much time to accompany her, let alone Li Xiaoxiao.

　　No matter what, Zhou Yun could not take her to Heyang.

　　"Xiaoxiao, actually you don't have to be like this. I still have a lot of things to finish, and I may not be able to accompany you for a long time. I will be leaving the capital soon, and I don't know when I will be back next time." Zhou Yun sighed as he gently stroked Li Xiaoxiao's smooth hair.

　　Her body trembled slightly, but then Li Xiaoxiao became firm and calm again.

　　"Zhou Yun, I will wait for you. This is what Jun Yao and I agreed on. Even if it is hard, this is what I want to do in my heart." Without looking up, Li Xiaoxiao still buried her little head in Zhou Yun's arms and spoke quietly.

　　With a daughter like this, what more could Zhou Yun ask for?

　　With a silent sigh, Zhou Yun opened his arms and hugged Li Xiaoxiao, quietly experiencing the warmth of the moment.

　　Chapter 213 I Promise

　　After staying with Li Xiaoxiao quietly for a few hours, Zhou Yun looked at the sky and stood up from the couch...

　　"Xiaoxiao, I'm going to visit the third princess. It's very rude of me to make her wait for so long." Zhou Yun felt a little guilty while speaking. After all, after this separation, he probably wouldn't be able to see Li Xiaoxiao for a long time.

　　Zhou Yun still has a lot of things to do before leaving the capital, and he probably won't have time.

　　Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Yun finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiao's face immediately showed a lonely look.

　　"Zhou Yun, when can you come back?" Li Xiaoxiao got off the couch, held Zhou Yun's hand, and spoke with some grievance.

　　In fact, she had already asked this question many times before, and now she was just repeating it again.

　　With a silent sigh, Zhou Yun said, "This time I am going to the South China Sea to help the Dynasty Army stabilize the situation in the South China Sea. It should not be too short, but I will try my best to find time to come back to see you and Jun Yao."

　　Nodding, Li Xiaoxiao's face suddenly lost the aggrieved expression and was replaced with a smile, "Don't worry about your career, Jun Yao and I will wait for you well, and we can communicate at ordinary times. When the time is right, Jun Yao and I will go to see you together."

　　Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's sudden change in expression, Zhou Yun felt touched. He knew that Li Xiaoxiao didn't want him to leave with a guilty and depressed mood, so she deliberately acted so relaxed and happy.

　　With a smile on his face, Zhou Yun gently stroked Li Xiaoxiao's hair and said softly, "Don't worry, I am no longer the weak servant I was before. This time I will go to the South China Sea and I will definitely succeed."

　　"Yes! I know you will succeed." Nodding vigorously, Li Xiaoxiao also bloomed the most beautiful smile. What she liked most was the confident look of Zhou Yun.

　　"Okay, go back early. I'm going to visit the third princess." Zhou Yun spoke gently, pinching Li Xiaoxiao's little face.

　　Nodding, Li Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Go ahead, come back early."

　　"I know." Zhou Yun responded, hugged Li Xiaoxiao gently, and turned around to leave the small attic...

　　Seeing Zhou Yun resolutely turning around and leaving, a tear fell from the corner of Li Xiaoxiao's eye, but soon her expression became firm again.

　　Walking down the attic, Zhou Yun put away his slightly melancholy mood. At this time, he had already decided to accept Li Xiaoxiao, so he would naturally shoulder the responsibilities he should have.

　　Zhou Yun no longer thought about Li Xiaoxiao, took a deep breath, and walked into the main hall of Qiuyue Palace. He had just heard Li Xiaoxiao say that although they had known each other for a long time, she had never been to the main hall of Qiuyue Palace. This time, Li Wanqiu directly invited him to the main hall, which must be something very important.

　　Entering Qiuyue Palace, Zhou Yun immediately felt a mysterious smell. The main hall of Qiuyue Palace seemed unclear from the outside. This was a trick. Zhou Yun had seen this method more than once.

　　But after entering Qiuyue Palace, Zhou Yun was still shocked by the furnishings inside. Other book friends are reading:.

　　Is this really the place where a princess of an imperial dynasty lives?

　　The entire hall is filled with bare wooden pillars, which appear very neat at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one can see that the pillars are not completely symmetrical, but rather a little bit messy.

　　This chaos seemed to have a fierce flavor, like a killing array, and even Zhou Yun couldn't help feeling frightened.

　　"Zhou Yun, come here." Just as Zhou Yun was looking at the pillars in front of him and thinking, a cold voice came from afar. It was Li Wanqiu's voice.

　　Following the sound, Zhou Yun took two steps forward and immediately saw the platform in the center of the hall. In the center of the platform, which was more than two meters high, a couch was quietly placed there. In addition to Li Wanqiu, there was another young man sitting on the couch.

　　The man was in his twenties, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Just by looking at him, one could sense his high spirits, confidence and vitality, but not too ostentatious, giving people a very comfortable feeling. And it was not difficult to guess his identity from the Qianlong brocade robe he was wearing.

　　At this moment, Li Wanqiu was sitting quietly beside the man, with the man as the core of her thoughts...

　　Seeing this, Zhou Yun already knew who the man was.

　　Walking over slowly, Zhou Yun bowed to the two people on the main stage and said, "Zhou Yun greets the Eighth Prince and the Third Princess."

　　With a warm smile on his face, Li Yan stood up and walked down the stage to greet Zhou Yun. When Zhou Yun appeared just now, Li Yan saw at a glance that Zhou Yun's current cultivation level was almost catching up with his own, which shocked Li Yan greatly.

　　Before, when his imperial sister Li Wanqiu said that Zhou Yun’s cultivation was already higher than hers, Li Yan was a little skeptical. After all, Li Wanqiu was two years older than Zhou Yun, and how could the resources obtained by a royal princess be compared with those of Zhou Yun, the son of a foreign servant?

　　But when he saw Zhou Yun, Li Yan immediately overturned his thoughts.

　　Apart from anything else, the murderous atmosphere in the main hall of Qiuyue Palace did not have the slightest effect on Zhou Yun, which was already very difficult.

　　Moreover, as soon as he saw Zhou Yun, Li Yan felt Zhou Yun's neither humble nor arrogant temperament and his uprightness!

　　This kind of person is exactly what he needs right now.

　　"Zhou Yun, no need to be so polite. I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Come up quickly." He had already walked to the steps below the main stage, but did not come down completely. Although he acted very close to Zhou Yun, his status was there, and even when greeting him, he had to be polite.

　　He looked up at Li Yan. At first glance, Zhou Yun had a very good impression of him. Although he was a prince, he did not have that kind of overbearing feeling. Most importantly, Zhou Yun saw a sense of righteousness in Li Yan's eyes.

　　"Thank you, Eighth Prince." Zhou Yun bowed once again, followed Li Yan onto the small platform, and sat on the couch in the center.

　　It was at this time that Zhou Yun discovered something different. The couch on the main stage seemed to be placed a little off. Although it seemed that Li Yan was sitting in the main seat, in fact, Li Xiaoxiao's position was the core of the entire hall.

　　Zhou Yun had a vague feeling that the entire hall seemed to be under the control of Li Wanqiu. As long as he sat in this position and controlled the entire hall, Li Wanqiu felt that he was unmatched.

　　As if seeing what Zhou Yun was thinking, Li Yan said with a hint of self-mockery, "Zhou Yun, although we are the heirs of the emperor, how can others know the dangers in this deep palace? Wanqiu did this just in case. In her Hunyuan Sword Formation, even I can't get any advantage."

　　After hearing Li Yan's words, Zhou Yun immediately raised his head. It seemed that what he had just felt was indeed true. The reason why there was a terrifying pressure in this hall was simply because this hall was a terrifying formation!

　　And the position where Li Wanqiu is located is the center of this formation!

　　Although it was confirmed that this hall was actually an extremely powerful killing array, Zhou Yun did not ask any more questions. As for the dangers in the palace that Li Yan mentioned, those were all royal secrets. Zhou Yun was not an ignorant person, so he would naturally not ask about things that he should not ask.

　　After organizing his thoughts, Zhou Yun began to speak, "Eighth Prince, Third Princess, I wonder what you want me to do today?"

　　Although he had always known that Li Yan wanted to win him over, Zhou Yun still needed a clear explanation of what Li Yan wanted him to do and what he wanted to achieve. Zhou Yun needed to understand all these things. Even though he had a good first impression of Li Yan and could only rely on Li Yan for the time being, Zhou Yun still needed to ask these questions clearly.

　　At this time, the tea on the small table in the middle of the couch was already brewed. Li Wanqiu quietly poured a cup of tea for Zhou Yun, still silent. In fact, she asked Zhou Yun to come here today just to let him meet her brother Li Yan.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's question, Li Yan also showed a smile on his face. "I heard Changtian say before that Zhou Yun is an upright person, and he is straightforward and easy-going. Seeing him today, it is indeed true. Since you are so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush."

　　"Please explain clearly, Your Highness." Zhou Yun did not show any special expression on his face in response to Li Yan's praise. He just waited quietly for Li Yan's next words.

　　The expression on his face gradually calmed down, and Li Yan spoke slowly, "Zhou Yun, this time I met you, you gave me a bigger surprise than I expected. I also have more confidence in the current crisis. Here, I would like to ask you to join me in seeking a chance of survival for all living beings on Tianyuan Continent."

　　"A chance to survive!?" He originally thought that Li Yan wanted him to do something to help him ascend the throne, but he didn't expect that Li Yan would say such a serious thing as soon as he opened his mouth.

　　"Yes, a chance to survive." His eyes became extremely firm, and Li Yan spoke slowly, "Zhou Yun, the entire Tianyuan Continent is currently in extreme danger. Although this danger was caused by my father and uncle, things can no longer be changed, and we can only deal with it."

　　"Zhou Yun, this time when you go to the South China Sea, I hope you can accomplish one thing, that is, you have to completely suppress Nissan and Fengshen in one year, so that they will not have the idea of ​​rebellion in ten years. In this regard, Changtian will give you a lot of help. And I will resolve the threat of the Northwest Persian Empire. After one year, when the internal stability of Tianyuan Continent is achieved, I hope you can improve your cultivation and enter the outer void with me!"

　　"The void outside the domain!" Hearing Li Yan's words, Zhou Yun's heart was filled with huge waves. Although the information revealed in Li Yan's words was not much, Zhou Yun's current knowledge was no longer comparable to before.

　　With the experience gained in the Shenwei training camp and the possession of the Hydra Demon, Zhou Yun already had a very deep understanding of the entire world.

　　Li Yan's meaning was very clear. The trouble he was talking about was caused by the current emperor and General Shenwei. Now, this trouble has shown signs of being out of control.

　　Recalling the strange black bird he saw in the Shenwei training camp, Zhou Yun was almost certain that it was the existence in the void outside the domain that Li Yan mentioned. It seemed that this crisis was not so easy to resolve.

　　However, now that he already knew about this, how could Zhou Yun ignore it?

　　No matter what, there are still many people he cares about on the Tianyuan Continent, Jun Yao, Zhou Xue, Li Xiaoxiao, Li Yi, and many more.

　　If those strange black birds from outside the void swarmed into the Tianyuan Continent in large numbers, I'm afraid there would be no living people left on the Tianyuan Continent in a few days.

　　Even if he could protect the most important people, what would be the point if the entire continent was destroyed?

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun finally made a decision.

　　Chapter 214 I want her!

　　"The situation in the South China Sea is changing rapidly. The South China Sea General has seen some changes. We must achieve our goal on this trip. If you encounter special circumstances, you can act according to your own discretion. I can protect you in the palace."

　　Zhou Yun had already left the palace and was riding his horse on the streets of the imperial city. He was still thinking silently in his heart about what the Eighth Prince said to him before they left. Zhou Yun could hear some different meanings in the Eighth Prince's words. It was probably saying that the situation in the South China Sea was currently very chaotic, especially the South China Sea General, who had now turned to a certain unknown force. In a critical moment, Zhou Yun could even replace him. "It seems that this trip is not that easy." Zhou Yun muttered silently in his heart while riding his horse. Although Zhou Yun was a little worried about all this, he was not afraid to face it. After getting the full set of Wanxiang Benlei Fist, Zhou Yun's foundation would definitely be improved again, and there would be more breakthroughs in top combat power. In this way, Zhou Yun's combat power would definitely rise rapidly again in a short period of time, and he would be able to face any difficulties calmly. Thinking of this, Zhou Yun gradually strengthened his thoughts. Zhou Yun reined in the horse under his crotch and ran towards the small teahouse run by Mu Laodi and others. He was about to leave the capital city soon. This time, Zhou Yun did not plan to take Mu Laodi and others with him. With Zhou Yun's current cultivation level and the level of the battle he was about to participate in, these people were no longer of any help to Zhou Yun. Even if he took them with him, they would only be a burden. But before leaving, Zhou Yun still had to go and see them. After riding his horse for a while in the streets of the capital, Zhou Yun had already arrived at the back of the small building rented by Mu Laodi and others. He tied up the horse and Zhou Yun jumped directly into the air and jumped into the small courtyard. This time Zhou Yun came secretly and did not want to be discovered. Now, this small teahouse has become quite good under the management of Mu Laodi and others. Although it was already night, there were still many customers lingering in the teahouse. Zhou Yun did not want to cause any more trouble, so he jumped into the courtyard. Zhou Yun immediately walked towards the main house at the back. "Who?"

　　He did not deliberately hide his aura, so Zhou Yun was immediately noticed as soon as he moved. Soon Mu Tie's voice was heard, "Brother Mu, it's me, Zhou Yun." After taking two steps forward, Zhou Yun said calmly, "Young Master." When he saw that it was Zhou Yun, Mu Tie's face immediately showed a surprised expression. Zhou Yun had been very kind to the Mu family. If it weren't for Zhou Yun, their family would have no idea where they were wandering now, not to mention that they now have such a stable life and own a good teahouse in a place like Beijing. "Brother Mu, ask everyone to come over. I'm about to leave Beijing. I have something to explain to you." Zhou Yun smiled gently and said, "Okay, I'll call my father and Little Mouse over right away. They will definitely be very happy to know that the young master is coming." With excitement flashing on his face, Mu Tie spoke quickly and left a word. Mu Tie ran directly to the front hall. It was already evening. Although there were still many people in the teahouse, it was much more relaxed than during the peak period. It was completely possible to ask the two guys to help look after it and let Father Mu and Zhang Hao come back to talk to Zhou Yun. At this time, a small cute figure Ying had already walked out of the main house. She was wearing pink clothes and her skin was smooth and delicate, just like a porcelain doll. She was extremely cute. Seeing this little girl, Zhou Yun immediately smiled. "How is Xiao Mu recently?" This little girl was exactly Mu's father's daughter. Xiao Mu Yue hadn't been seen for seven months. Xiao Mu Yue had grown up a little bit, but her cute and lively aura was still the same. Moreover, after these seven months of living a safe life without worries about food and clothing and without being hunted by others, Xiao Mu Yue's overall condition was much better than before. That kind of natural The cute aura can be clearly felt at a glance. Seeing her, Zhou Yun immediately took two steps forward and said softly, "Brother Zhou Yun." At this time, little Muyue had already seen Zhou Yun's happy smile on his face. Little Muyue giggled and ran towards Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun opened his arms and hugged little Muyue. "Little Muyue, do you miss Brother Zhou Yun?" Zhou Yun tapped the little girl's nose and asked teasingly. When Zhou Yun tapped her nose, little Muyue's nose twitched very cutely, and the smile on her face remained unchanged. "Yes."

　　"Come and see the little gifts I brought back for you. Do you like them?" Zhou Yun took out some very distinctive small decorations and handed them to Xiao Muyue. These things were brought back by Zhou Yun from the Black Flame Continent. At that time, he had thought of bringing some gifts to Xiao Muyue. Some handicrafts from the Black Flame Continent are quite good. "Wow, this headband is so beautiful. Thank you, Brother Zhou Yun." Seeing the colorful things Zhou Yun took out, Xiao Muyue was immediately attracted to them. While choosing, she thanked Zhou Yun. "As long as you like it." With a smile, Zhou Yun carried Xiao Muyue into the room. Just as he was about to sit down, Zhou Yun suddenly felt a terrifying tremor coming from his hand. This tremor actually came from the piece of Chaos Crystal in Zhou Yun's hand. Ever since the Chongling Cave was opened, the Chaos Crystal had been hidden by Zhou Yun in the Chongling Cave. Therefore, Zhou Yun could clearly feel any changes in the Chaos Crystal. At this time, Zhou Yun had already felt this change. "Zhou Yun," suddenly a majestic and anxious voice came into Zhou Yun's mind. Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Yun's expression immediately became serious. This voice turned out to be from the Hydra Demon and it was directly transmitted into his mind. "What's wrong, senior?" The Hydra Demon was powerful and buried in the boundary crystal. It could communicate with Zhou Yun's thoughts. After hearing the Hydra Demon's call, Zhou Yun immediately responded, "Zhou Yun, I want the little girl in your arms. You must bring her out. I want her to follow me." "Beside me." After Zhou Yun's reply, the Hydra Demon immediately shouted anxiously, "You want..." Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun broke out in a cold sweat. What is a Hydra Demon? It is a giant demon that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. And little Mu Yue is a naive and lovely little girl. How could Zhou Yun throw such a little girl into the hands of the Hydra Demon? "Zhou Yun, I don't want to do other things. This little girl turned out to be a real body of a spiritual treasure and also has a heavenly eye. It is a rare talent. As long as you hand her over to me for a few years, I guarantee that her achievements will not be lower than yours." Just when Zhou Yun was about to refuse, the voice of the Hydra Demon came out again. This time, Zhou Yun finally understood what the Hydra Demon meant. Although he understood it, he was also shocked. What are these Lingbao Zhenshen and Tianyan? Zhou Yun had never thought of this concept. Could it be that this little Mu Yue is really a genius who can achieve great success in the future? "Senior, I don't quite understand what you said, but I want to tell you that little Mu Yue is my good friend, and I will never allow you to hurt her." After sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Yun said solemnly, "You bastard." Maybe he was really anxious. The nine-headed snake demon, who always spoke slowly and had the demeanor of an ancient master, actually blurted out a swear word, "Zhou Yun, let me tell you that Lingbao Zhenshen and Tianyan are extremely rare in the entire void. They only appear more frequently among the top races. The most important thing is that this little girl actually possesses both Lingbao Zhenshen and Tianyan at the same time."

　　"You know my strongest skills are the Incarnation and Nine Eyes. If this girl follows me and I train her carefully, her future achievements will be limitless. Once she is truly mature, the help she can bring to you is invaluable. I can see that this girl is very loyal and trusts you. You can see for yourself that if you give up this opportunity, you will never have it again." After swearing, the nine-headed snake demon roared at Zhou Yun unhappily and turned to hide again. Zhou Yun could not catch any trace of its breath. "Senior, senior." I didn't expect that this nine-headed snake demon had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and still had such a bad temper. Zhou Yun shouted helplessly twice but still didn't get anything. Zhou Yun was speechless in response and could only withdraw from the state of mind communication. "Brother Zhou Yun, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly silent? Xiao Mu wants to play with this little bead, please put me down." Zhou Yun, who had just come to his senses, immediately heard Xiao Mu Yue's voice. At this time, Xiao Mu Yue was looking at Zhou Yun, who was in a trance, with curiosity. His left hand kept shaking Zhou Yun's shoulders, and he was holding a beautiful glass bead in his right hand. "Good brother was lost in thought just now, Xiao Mu Yue, you play by yourself, brother will talk to your father and the others." Zhou Yun, who had come to his senses, immediately put Xiao Mu Yue down and smiled. He had already felt that Mu Tiemu's father and Zhang Hao had come over at this time, "Young Master..."

　　"Young Master"

　　Sure enough, Zhou Yun had just put little Mu Yue down when Zhang Hao and Mu's father came in. As soon as they entered the main house, they immediately saluted Zhou Yun with joyful expressions on their faces. "I didn't expect that you could actually win the first place in the Shenwei Training Camp, surpassing the Yingwu County King and the three princesses of the current dynasty. You are really amazing, young master." After greeting, Zhang Hao ran directly to Zhou Yun and spoke excitedly. The most popular rumor in Beijing these days was that Zhou Yun, who was ranked 64th when he entered the Shenwei Training Camp, was at the bottom of all the students. In just half a year, he caught up quickly and became the first in the Shenwei Training Camp. He was also directly appointed by the Ministry of War as General Zilei to be in charge of the South China Sea. Such an achievement can almost be regarded as a mythical inspirational story among the common people. Therefore, the most widely circulated topic in the capital these days is Zhou Yun's topic, "Sir, you are going to the South China Sea this time, are you going to take us with you? As long as you say a word, my family will definitely go through fire and water." Compared with Zhang Hao, Mu's father's thoughts are more simple. Although he also admires Zhou Yun's strength, but now he thinks more about what kind of help they can provide when Zhou Yun is going to the South China Sea. Mu's father has long wanted to repay Zhou Yun's kindness to their family. Facing Mu's father's enthusiasm and loyalty, Zhou Yun smiled slightly and said, "Mu's father, you should continue to stay in the capital. This time I will only take little Mu Yue with me to the South China Sea."

　　"Ah!" Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard Zhou Yun's words.

　　Chapter 215 Little Mu Yue

　　"Master, are you going to take Xiao Mu away?" After being stunned for a long time, Father Mu finally reacted from his shock and understood what Zhou Yun was talking about...

　　Zhou Yun didn't want to bring him and Mu Tie, who had certain fighting skills, nor did he want to bring Zhang Hao, who was capable of doing things. Instead, he wanted to bring Mu Yue, who was still a child. How could this not be surprising?

　　Seeing the surprised expressions of the three people in front of him, Zhou Yun knew that he had to give an explanation. "Everyone, Xiao Mu has a very strong talent in martial arts. This time I want to take her to find a senior who can train Xiao Mu carefully. But please rest assured, Xiao Mu will always be by my side. With the protection of me and that senior, Xiao Mu's safety will not be a problem."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's explanation, Old Man Mu finally nodded.

　　In his and Mu Tie's hearts, little Mu Yue is the most important person. The two follow Zhou Yun, although it is mainly because of Zhou Yun's kindness to them, but they also want to rely on Zhou Yun to protect little Mu Yue.

　　Now hearing that Zhou Yun is going to take little Mu Yue to the South China Sea, how can they not worry?

　　However, this was Zhou Yun's request, and they couldn't refuse.

　　After staring at each other for a moment, Father Mu finally spoke, "Sir, Xiaotie and I both believe in you. You know, Xiaomu is the treasure of our family. I hope you can treat her well and protect her."

　　In fact, Old Man Mu also suspected that Zhou Yun was also an evil person who was targeting little Mu Yue, but after seeing Zhou Yun's frank eyes, Old Man Mu forced himself to believe Zhou Yun.

　　"Daddy, don't worry. Brother Zhou Yun is doing this for my own good. I know." At this time, little Mu Yue, who was playing with a glass bead at the side, suddenly spoke with a sweet smile on her little face, and spoke obediently.

　　After hearing what little Mu Yue said, Old Man Mu and Mu Tie had nothing more to say.

　　In fact, how could they not know about Xiao Muyue's talent? Although they didn't know how strong Xiao Muyue's talent was, they could still see all kinds of strange phenomena. At such a young age, she had a pair of eyes that could recognize people, and she never made mistakes. What a terrifying ability!

　　"Young Master, since Xiao Mu has said so, then there will be no problem for me. I hope you can take good care of Xiao Mu." With a long sigh, Old Man Mu spoke solemnly to Zhou Yun, and at the same time, he and Mu Tie bowed deeply to Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun returned the greeting with a fist, and said seriously, "Don't worry, from now on, little Mu Yue is my Zhou Yun's biological sister, and this will never change."

　　After chatting with the two people from the Mu family and Zhang Hao for an hour, Zhou Yun finally prepared to leave with little Mu Yue.

　　Holding little Mu Yue in his arms, Zhou Yun said to the three people behind him, "Father Mu, Brother Mu, and little mouse, this industry will be yours from now on. The secret book I left for you can be used for your long-term cultivation, and the elixirs can be used to deal with some emergencies. This time when I go out, the situation I face may be a little dangerous, but I will definitely protect little Mu Yue, please rest assured."

　　After sending Zhou Yun to the back door, Father Mu spoke, "Sir, we will take good care of ourselves. Little Mu will be in your hands."

　　"Don't worry." Zhou Yun waved to the three people, opened the back door and walked out.

　　Zhou Yun had just released his spiritual sense and knew that there was no one watching him, so he dared to open the back door and leave so openly.

　　"Brother Zhou Yun, where are you taking Xiao Mu?" Being held in Zhou Yun's arms, little Mu Yue blinked her beautiful big eyes and spoke cutely.

　　Although she will definitely be a stunning beauty in the future, little Mu Yue is only a twelve-year-old child at this time. The childish innocence in her words is still very strong. Listening to little Mu Yue's voice, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel very comfortable.

　　"Brother is going to the South China Sea next. Has little Muyue ever seen the sea?" Zhou Yun had found the horse he had just tied up and carried little Muyue onto the horse. He urged the horse to jog towards the direction of the Duke's Mansion while answering.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, little Mu Yue's pretty face immediately showed a hint of excitement, "Brother Zhou Yun, is the sea as big and beautiful as Xiu Lake?"

　　The Xiu Lake mentioned by Xiao Muyue is a lake in their hometown. It is a medium-sized lake in the Tianyuan Dynasty and also serves as a water storage. To study military affairs, one must have some geographical knowledge, so Zhou Yun also knows about Xiu Lake.

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun said, "The sea is much bigger than Xiu Lake. It is tens of thousands of times bigger and much more beautiful. When we reach the South China Sea, Xiao Mu will know."

　　While riding his horse forward, Zhou Yun held little Mu Yue in his arms and spoke gently.

　　Listening to Zhou Yun's description, thinking about the concept that the sea is "tens of thousands of times" larger than Xiu Lake, little Mu Yue couldn't help but shake her white little fingers, fascinated.

　　Looking at the cute little Mu Yue, Zhou Yun showed a gentle smile on his face. He urged the horse and began to speed up the return journey.

　　About an incense stick of time later, Zhou Yun brought little Mu Yue back to the Duke of Pingnan's Mansion.

　　After returning to the mansion, Zhou Yun immediately went to Lanxinyuan where Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue lived.

　　Although it was already late, the lights were still on in the main house of Lanxinyuan. Although it was very late, Zhou Yun knew that Zhou Xue and Lin Junyao must still be waiting for him.

　　When Zhou Yun entered Lanxin Garden, he did not slow down his footsteps and continued to talk to Xiao Muyue. Therefore, even though Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue had no cultivation, they soon realized that Zhou Yun had returned.

　　"Zhou Yun!" Lin Junyao ran out directly from the front hall of the main house and greeted Zhou Yun with a look of surprise.

　　After running two steps, Lin Junyao saw the delicate little girl in Zhou Yun's arms.

　　"Zhou Yun? Who is this?" Lin Junyao fell in love with little Mu Yue at the first sight. Not for any other reason, but because little Mu Yue was so pure and cute. Anyone could not help but fall in love with this little girl who was like a porcelain doll.

　　At this time, Zhou Xue had also run out of the house. Seeing little Mu Yue in Zhou Yun's arms, she also had a look of joy and love on her face.

　　"Jun Yao, sister, this is little Mu Yue. I rescued her during my training in the Black Dragon Mountains. She has been in the capital all this time. This time I am going to the South China Sea, and I want to take little Mu Yue with me. A very powerful senior of mine is optimistic about little Mu Yue's talent and wants to train her in martial arts." Zhou Yun walked over with little Mu Yue in his arms and spoke to the two of them.

　　At this time, little Mu Yue looked at Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue with a sweet smile on her face. In her eyes, these two women were so beautiful and kind, and were exactly the kind of sisters she liked most.

　　"Little Muyue, this is Sister Zhou Xue, who is also my biological sister. This is Jun Yao, my fiancée." The four of them were already standing together, and Zhou Yun began to introduce Zhou Xue and Lin Jun Yao to Little Muyue.

　　"Hello, Sister Zhou Xue, hello, Sister Jun Yao." Little Mu Yue greeted the two girls obediently with a sweet smile.

　　With her innocent and childlike voice and adorable appearance, Xiao Mu Yue's greeting made Zhou Xue and Lin Junyao fall in love with her immediately.

　　"Come, let Sister Xue hug you." Zhou Xue opened her arms towards little Mu Yue and spoke expectantly.

　　Seeing the tenderness in his sister's eyes, Zhou Yun also had a smile on his face.

　　In fact, Zhou Yun understood Zhou Xue's thoughts. Zhou Xue was already quite old, and she was about to get married. She now loved children more than Lin Junyao.

　　After hearing enough from Zhou Xue, little Mu Yue also obediently opened her arms to Zhou Xue.

　　Taking little Mu Yue from Zhou Yun's arms, Zhou Xue said to Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao, "Xiao Yun, Junyao, you two should stay here for a while. Little Mu Yue can sleep with me at night."

　　After leaving a word, Zhou Xue took Xiao Mu Yue back to her room.

　　Zhou Yun has already seen that his sister really likes little Mu Yue.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao were the only ones left in the back garden of Lanxinyuan. Zhou Yun took Lin Junyao's hand and led Junyao towards the main house. While walking, Lin Junyao kept looking towards the wing where Zhou Xue was, and it was obvious that she liked little Muyue very much.

　　"Jun Yao, stop looking. If you like children, wait until I come back from the South China Sea and we can have one ourselves." Zhou Yun teased as he led Lin Jun Yao towards the main house.

　　"Why are you saying these things..." Zhou Yun's words made Lin Junyao blush, and she was too embarrassed to look at Zhou Xue's room. Although marrying Zhou Yun had always been something Junyao was looking forward to, as an unmarried girl, she was still a little shy when talking about these things.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun’s pretty face blushing with embarrassment, Zhou Yun felt a little relieved.

　　Returning to the capital these days and being with Jun Yao and Zhou Xue was indeed the most relaxing time Zhou Yun had in more than a year. Zhou Yun even began to yearn for such days. He hadn't even practiced once in these few days.

　　This was simply unimaginable before. At that time, Zhou Yun's mind was filled with thoughts of cultivation and improvement, as well as tempering and training.

　　After such a long period of hard work, Zhou Yun has finally reached a certain level and can feel relieved for a few days, but this relief will end from tonight.

　　"Jun Yao, I will be here with you at night. You can rest assured and I will sit beside your bed and practice. I haven't practiced once in the past two days since I came back. We will set off in two days. I need to make more preparations in these two days to avoid being caught off guard." Zhou Yun spoke immediately after helping Lin Jun Yao into the room.

　　"Well, you practice, I won't disturb you." Knowing what was the most important thing, Lin Junyao nodded and spoke obediently.

　　Sitting by the bed, watching Lin Junyao lying on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, with her eyes closed, Zhou Yun felt peaceful, as if just being with Lin Junyao like this was enough.

　　At this time, Lin Junyao also felt extremely at ease. The days when Zhou Yun was with her always made her feel like she was in heaven, especially after seven months of separation, this feeling became even more obvious.

　　Feeling Zhou Yun's palm gently patting her shoulder, Lin Junyao fell into a peaceful sleep after a short while.

　　Chapter 216 Sound and Thundercloud

　　After soothing Lin Junyao to sleep, Zhou Yun did not leave. Instead, he found a cushion in front of Lin Junyao's bed and sat on it. With a little consciousness, Zhou Yun entered the crystal space at his fingertips...

　　After this consciousness was injected into the condensed body within the boundary crystal, its mind regained clarity.

　　Zhou Yun stood up from the inky world, walked to the giant tree, clasped his fists and said, "Senior, please show yourself."

　　After Zhou Yun's clear voice, the surroundings fell into silence again. After waiting for about a cup of tea, the body of the Hydra demon appeared in front of Zhou Yun accompanied by the shaking of the earth.

　　"Senior, I have brought Xiao Mu out. However, before handing Xiao Mu over to you, I still want to ask you what you want to do. Although Xiao Mu and I met by chance, I treat her like my own sister. If there is anything that is not good for her, I will not agree to it." Looking at the huge body of the Hydra demon, Zhou Yun spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

　　Lying there, the eight heads on both sides drooped, and only the head in the middle swayed slightly. A dull "hmm" sound came out of its nose, and the nine-headed snake demon said slowly, "You kid, your heart is indeed upright and tenacious, and you can think of others. This is very good."

　　"Thank you, senior." After hearing the words of the Hydra Demon, Zhou Yun immediately responded with a fist.

　　"Hehe, this matter has nothing to do with you, but it doesn't hurt to tell you." After a pause, the nine-headed snake demon spoke again, "There are two most powerful skills in my nine-headed snake demon clan, one is the nine eyes, and the other is the transformation of the spirit. This little girl has the sky eye, which can connect the nine gates. It is most suitable for her to learn the nine eyes of my nine-headed snake demon clan. The transformation of the spirit is originally only suitable for our nine-headed snake demon clan to learn, but this little girl is different. She actually has a spiritual treasure body. With such a talent, she can also learn the transformation of the spirit of my nine-headed snake demon clan. I have been away from the clan for many years, and I don’t know if I can go back in the future. If I can find a talented disciple and pass on what I have learned throughout my life, it will be without regrets."

　　At this time, Zhou Yun truly understood what the Hydra Demon meant, but some of the Hydra Demon's words made Zhou Yun have some new doubts. The Hydra Demon had been talking about tribes and the like. Could it be that there was more than one Hydra Demon?

　　But Zhou Yun couldn't ask these questions now. After all, his relationship with the Hydra demon was still one of mutual restraint.

　　After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yun spoke again, "Senior, I still have a question. Is your technique too evil? Xiao Mu is a simple-minded little girl after all. If she learns your technique, I'm afraid..."

　　Zhou Yun did not say the next words directly, but his meaning was already very clear. Zhou Yun had heard that the nine-headed snake demon really wanted to teach Xiao Muyue well. This was also a great opportunity for Xiao Muyue. If the last question could get a suitable answer, Zhou Yun would hand Xiao Muyue over to him.

　　“Hehehe…” With a sneer, the Nine-Headed Snake Demon continued, “Although I am considered an evil faction among the ancient beasts, that is also due to my racial attribute. After all, the Nine-Headed Snake is not a propitious creature. But my skills are not all evil. The Incarnation of the Spirit and the Nine Eyes are both top-notch skills in the physical and mental aspects. The little girl will not become a big villain if she follows me to learn.”

　　After hearing the Hydra Demon's explanation, Zhou Yun was completely relieved.

　　"In that case, I will leave little Mu Yue to you, senior. It will be up to you to guide her in her cultivation." Zhou Yun said, nodding.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun agreed, the Hydra Demon finally showed a satisfied expression on his face, "Zhou Yun, I will teach you a set of secrets later. You will pass the secrets to Xiao Mu and let her practice hard. You must also work hard to improve yourself. You have already obtained a full set of Myriad Thunder Fists. The properties of that technique are good. After accumulating the full set of techniques, you should be able to quickly increase your strength. When you can open up the boundary crystal, Xiao Mu can also enter the Chaos Crystal. Then I will begin to formally guide her."

　　As he spoke, a solemn look appeared on the face of the nine-headed snake demon, and then, bits and pieces of text began to enter Zhou Yun's mind directly.

　　It was a set of formulas that were extremely obscure and difficult to understand. Zhou Yun was writing them down while trying to understand them, but he found that he simply could not figure out what they meant.

　　The mantra taught by the Hydra Demon was very long. After Zhou Yun finished recording it, he could not recognize it and said, "Senior, this mantra is so obscure that I can't understand it. Can Xiao Mu really practice it?"

　　Now Zhou Yun's cultivation has entered the realm stage, and after opening up his heavenly spiritual vein, Zhou Yun's thinking has become agile, and his ability to understand is no longer the same as before. Even he cannot understand this set of secret techniques, so how can Xiao Mu learn it?

　　“Hahaha, although you have good talent, you rely more on the transformation of the Chaos Crystal. Your talent is reflected in your body, but in terms of spirit, you are still far behind. You have neither the third eye nor the spiritual body. How can you understand the secrets of my clan? You just need to give this set of secret methods to Xiao Mu, let her practice and experience it well, and you don’t have to worry about the rest.” After laughing wildly and leaving a word, the body of the Hydra demon disappeared in front of Zhou Yun along with the shaking of the earth.

　　Thinking about what the Hydra Demon said before it left, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel depressed. Over the past year or so, the speed at which Zhou Yun's cultivation had improved could be said to be astonishing. Under such circumstances, Zhou Yun had already trusted his own talent very much. But today, Zhou Yun heard from the Hydra Demon that his talent was not that good. Such an evaluation naturally made Zhou Yun feel depressed.

　　"But it doesn't matter. I have the Chaos Crystal, and my cultivation speed is much faster than others. Even if my talent is average, as long as I keep working hard, these problems can be solved." Soon, this slight negative emotion was resolved by Zhou Yun himself.

　　So what if you don’t have talent? As long as you work hard and have opportunities, can’t you still grow quickly?

　　Putting these complicated things aside, Zhou Yun sat down and began to practice quietly.

　　Beside Lin Junyao's bed, in the space of Chaos Crystal, Zhou Yun's original body and condensed body were already sitting cross-legged.

　　With a slight wave of his hand, Zhou Yun took out the set of All-Seeing Thunder Fist from his space ring.

　　Now, this set of secret techniques is already a complete set of secret techniques, and there will no longer be the feeling of discontinuity as before. Zhou Yun was not in a hurry to read through the whole thing, but quietly opened the first volume of the secret book.

　　This volume of secret techniques is the first level of the Myriad Things Thunder Fist, which is the foundation-laying level.

　　"Sound, thunder and cloud!" Looking at the first four words in the first volume, Zhou Yun's mind immediately calmed down.

　　After turning over the first page, Zhou Yun began to silently browse the contents of the first volume of the Wanxiang Benlei Fist.

　　"Thunder is the power of heaven and earth, the god of all things. Sometimes it is ethereal and formless, and sometimes it is mighty and powerful. The one who is pregnant with thunder uses his breath to attract thunderclouds, which are endless..."

　　The first volume of the Myriad Things Thunder Fist only has one breathing method, the Sound of Thunder Cloud. After reading the Sound of Thunder Cloud, Zhou Yun immediately understood that this is a set of exercises based on breathing, allowing the body to gradually adapt to and accumulate thunder and lightning energy. It is the most basic part of the entire exercise.

　　After reading this first volume, Zhou Yun immediately understood the role of the Sound and Thunder Cloud. Before, when using the All-Things Thunder Fist, Zhou Yun always felt that the thunder and lightning power in his body was a little unnatural, as if these thunder and lightning powers had not truly integrated with his body.

　　These lightning bolts only exist in the meridians and do not penetrate into Zhou Yun's blood and breath.

　　After reading the method of sound and thundercloud, Zhou Yun finally found his previous problem.

　　After all, his lightning power only came from standing still, and standing still must be coordinated with the breathing method. Zhou Yun had not mastered the method of sound and thunder before. Although he learned the Wanxiang Thunder Posture, the truth he obtained from the practice was not perfect.

　　"First, I will practice the sound of thunderclouds to stabilize the lightning power in my body, and then look at the secret method later." After figuring out the reason why there was always some unnatural feeling when he used the power of thunder and lightning before, Zhou Yun immediately began to work on improving it.

　　After putting away the secret manual of the Myriad Things Thunder Fist, Zhou Yun sat down quietly and began to practice breathing exercises according to the method of Sound, Thunder and Cloud.

　　Originally, it was not so easy to complete breathing according to the method of Sound and Thunder Cloud. It took a lot of time just to get familiar with it and get into it. But these were not a problem at all for Zhou Yun. At this moment, Zhou Yun already had extremely powerful thunder and lightning power. Making this Sound and Thunder Cloud was just a matter of re-consolidating the foundation.

　　It is not necessary to imitate breathing first and then feel the presence of lightning power like beginners do.

　　Therefore, when Zhou Yun really started to use the method of sound and thundercloud, a faint blue electric light immediately began to flash in Zhou Yun's body.

　　Feeling the light on his body, Zhou Yun immediately released his true energy and lowered the curtains on Lin Junyao's bed. This time, the blue electric light brought out by Zhou Yun's practice could no longer disturb Lin Junyao's rest.

　　As Zhou Yun breathed, the lightning power in his meridians was mobilized by him. Breathing is to exchange oxygen between the five internal organs, and after it rushes into the blood, it will expel the turbid air from the body. The reason why Zhou Yun's lightning power did not completely merge with his body before was because these lightning powers were absorbed and circulated by standing still, and they did not really merge with Zhou Yun's five internal organs and blood.

　　And this method of sound and thundercloud was exactly what helped Zhou Yun solve this problem. With continuous breathing, all the lightning power in Zhou Yun's body was mobilized and exchanged with the blood in Zhou Yun's five internal organs with his breathing.

　　In this constant exchange, these existing powers gradually merged into Zhou Yun's body.

　　As he continued to practice, the sky gradually brightened. On the bed behind him, Lin Junyao turned over gently. Zhou Yun could feel that Lin Junyao was about to wake up.

　　"Hu!" Zhou Yun let out a long breath and came out of his cultivation state.

　　"At this rate, it will only take two days for the existing power in the body to be fully integrated. Then, when I practice, I can apply the breathing method of the sound and thunderclouds. The speed of practice will definitely be faster." Zhou Yun muttered to himself, a smile appeared on his face, and he stood up from the bed.

　　Chapter 217: First Intimacy

　　Feeling that Lin Junyao on the bed was about to wake up, Zhou Yun stood up and pulled open the curtains at the head of Junyao's bed... Suddenly, a ray of morning sunlight shone in through the window and reflected on Lin Junyao's pretty little face.

　　"Hmm..." She was about to wake up, and when she felt the sunshine, Lin Junyao pouted her lips and uttered a charming moan. A pair of arms as smooth as snow jade also stretched out from the quilt, covered her eyes with delicate clothes, and gently rubbed them.

　　Although they have been together for a long time and have had some intimate actions, they have only hugged and kissed each other's faces at most, and have never done anything excessive.

　　Up to this point, Zhou Yuncai had never seen Lin Junyao like this.

　　When she went to bed yesterday, Lin Junyao's morning locks were still tied on her chest, but after a night of deep sleep, the locks had loosened at some point. When Lin Junyao stretched her body, her smooth arms, round shoulders, delicate collarbones, and even a small piece of snow-white skin like a jade bowl all came into Zhou Yun's sight.

　　Seeing this scene, Zhou Yun's breathing immediately stagnated and he became a little dazed.

　　Although Zhou Yun had always known that Lin Junyao was beautiful, he had never expected that, without him noticing, Lin Junyao had become so charming.

　　At this time, Lin Junyao had rubbed her eyes, and her mind became clearer. She opened her eyes, and immediately, Zhou Yun, who was sitting at the head of the bed, came into her sight.

　　"Ah!" Seeing Zhou Yun looking at the exposed skin on her shoulders and neck with a dazed look on his face, Lin Junyao immediately cried out shyly, and for a moment she instinctively wanted to tie up the morning wisp that was scattered on her body.

　　But seeing the desire in Zhou Yun's eyes, Lin Junyao stopped moving again, and did not deliberately cover her eyes, but lowered her eyelids, and her delicate face became red. Seeing Lin Junyao so beautiful and charming, Zhou Yun could not help but have an instinctive desire in his heart, wanting to hug the girl in front of him, and even wanting to explore the true face of that snow-white face.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's shyness, but her efforts to overcome herself and her lack of attempt to hide anything, Zhou Yun seemed to understand what she meant in an instant.

　　The person in front of me is the woman I love most in my life. We are in love with each other, so what's wrong with that?

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun no longer suppressed himself. He opened his arms, leaned over, hugged Lin Junyao in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss the girl's red lips in his arms.

　　After her body stiffened slightly, Lin Junyao adapted to Zhou Yun's hug. She held Zhou Yun's face with both hands and responded awkwardly.

　　After a while, Jun Yao's bedroom was peaceful again. Lin Jun Yao's morning hair was still loose, and her body had been raised a little, leaning softly in Zhou Yun's arms. At this time, Zhou Yun held Jun Yao's shoulders with one hand, and the other hand went through Lin Jun Yao's skirt and covered the snow-white fat on her chest.

　　The tentacles were soft and warm, yet with a soft elasticity. The touch almost drove Zhou Yun crazy. After adapting for a long time, Zhou Yun was able to calmly hold the softness in his hands, no longer in the embarrassing state of panting heavily.

　　Zhou Yun had adapted to the situation, but Lin Junyao's condition was a bit miserable. Leaning in Zhou Yun's arms, Lin Junyao's face had turned red, she had difficulty breathing, and her body was shaking slightly.

　　"Zhou Yun, are...are you okay?" Jun Yao spoke softly, leaning against Zhou Yun pitifully. At this moment, Lin Jun Yao felt as if her body was floating and she had lost her intuition. She could only feel the snow-white flesh on her chest constantly changing shape in Zhou Yun's hands, making her heart seem to be hanging.

　　He never expected that such intimacy would make Lin Junyao so embarrassed. Although he was obsessed with that feeling, Zhou Yun still forced himself to take back his hand.

　　"Junyao, get up, there will be plenty of time later." Looking at Lin Junyao's delicate and beautiful appearance, Zhou Yun also showed a happy smile on his face. After this contact in the morning, he felt that his relationship with Lin Junyao seemed to have advanced to a new level and became more intimate.

　　"Hmm..." Nodding, Lin Junyao stood up with the help of Zhou Yun, untied her morning quilt, put on her coat, and carefully tied the belt of her clothes bit by bit.

　　Zhou Yun did all of this for her personally. During the whole process, Lin Junyao held Zhou Yun's arms with her own small hands, as if she would fall if she let go.

　　After helping Lin Junyao put on her clothes, Zhou Yun said gently, "Junyao, wash up and go have breakfast together. Sister should have prepared breakfast. Wait here for me and I'll get you some water."

　　After leaving a few words, Zhou Yun let go of Lin Junyao and turned around to walk out of the master bedroom.

　　Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhou Yun left, Lin Junyao's legs immediately went weak and she let out a light cry, as if she was about to fall.

　　"Jun Yao!" Feeling the change in Lin Jun Yao, Zhou Yun immediately turned around and held her arm when Lin Jun Yao was about to fall.

　　Feeling weak, Lin Junyao glared at Zhou Yun in a reproachful manner and pointed at the dressing table, "Help me sit down over there."

　　"Oh, okay." Feeling a little silly, Zhou Yun could only follow Lin Junyao's instructions and help her over. Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao were both complete novices in this matter, and Zhou Yun had no idea why Lin Junyao suddenly became like this.

　　"Jun Yao, sit here for a while. I'll go get you some water." After helping Lin Jun Yao sit down, Zhou Yun spoke.

　　"Well, go ahead." Lin Junyao lowered her head and spoke shyly.

　　She didn't know what was wrong with her. After such an intimate moment with Zhou Yun, she felt so weak that she had no strength at all. Her heart was still beating wildly. After sending Zhou Yun away, Lin Junyao raised her head and immediately saw herself in the dressing mirror.

　　Seeing the charming face of the girl in the mirror, with a blush on her face, slightly disheveled hair and watery eyes, Lin Junyao's pretty face immediately became even redder.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun, who was worried about her, had already brought back the water and put down the basin. Zhou Yun slowly said, "Jun Yao, wash your face first."

　　Hearing Zhou Yun's voice, Lin Junyao immediately turned around and gently pinched Zhou Yun's arm, "You annoying bastard, you made me look like this. My sister will definitely find out and she will laugh at me to death. It's all your fault!"

　　Seeing Lin Junyao complaining to him with a coquettish and angry look on her face, Zhou Yun felt a faint sense of happiness in his heart.

　　"Jun Yao, let me wipe your face. Lean on me and everything will be fine soon." Zhou Yun leaned down and gently kissed Lin Jun Yao's hair, causing the girl in his arms to tremble again. He spoke gently.

　　"Yeah." Nodding slightly, Lin Junyao obediently leaned on Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun gently waved the soft cloth in his hand and wrung out the water. He then carefully wiped Jun Yao's face, helped her rinse her mouth with tea, and combed her hair. After some tidying up, Lin Jun Yao's complexion finally returned to normal and she was no longer in such a mess.

　　During this process, Lin Junyao's lost strength gradually recovered. This was because she really loved Zhou Yun so much that she felt weak after such a simple contact.

　　"Xiao Yun, Jun Yao, come out for dinner." At this time, Zhou Xue's voice had already come from the front hall.

　　After looking in the mirror again and making sure that she was in good condition, Lin Junyao stood up.

　　Giving Zhou Yun a coquettish look, Lin Junyao whispered, "Zhou Yun, don't bully me casually in the future. Don't let your sister find out. It's so embarrassing."

　　"Okay, okay, I'll agree to anything you say." After the intimate contact in the morning, the distance between Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao seemed to have been shortened a lot. At this time, no matter what Lin Junyao said, Zhou Yun would agree.

　　After opening the bedroom door, Lin Junyao and Zhou Yun walked out together. At this time, on the side of the front hall, Zhou Xue had already brought up the prepared breakfast, and the cute and well-behaved Xiao Mu also helped Zhou Xue.

　　The two girls, one big and one small, got along quite well. Seeing that the elder sister and Xiao Mu were so close, Zhou Yun felt a little happy in his heart.

　　Several people sat down at the small table and ate while Zhou Xue asked Zhou Yun, "Xiao Yun, are we still leaving tomorrow?"

　　Zhou Yun had told her before that they would return to Heyang in three days, and now Zhou Xue also hoped to return to Heyang. This time, she hadn't seen Li Yi for almost a year.

　　"Well, we'll set off tomorrow and leave early in the morning. Don't worry, sister." Zhou Yun naturally knew what Zhou Xue was thinking and said with a slight smile.

　　"So what are we going to do today?" Lin Junyao already knew that Zhou Yun would take her with him to Heyang this time, and her heart was actually full of anticipation. After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao spoke immediately.

　　After thinking for a while, Zhou Yun said, "Jun Yao, go find Brother Tian and arrange for someone to protect you. Xiao Mu and I may have to practice all day today. I got the Myriad Thunder Fist, and I need to master this set of secrets in a short period of time. I also have a set of secrets for Xiao Mu. It was given to me by a senior. He saw Xiao Mu's talent and wanted to take her as his disciple."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao nodded. She knew that Zhou Yun was most concerned about her safety. This time he could take her to Heyang, but he couldn't send her back. Lin Junyao naturally knew that she had to rely on the power of the Lin family to protect her own safety and not let Zhou Yun worry.

　　"Okay, then I'll go see my brother now." Lin Junyao responded with a smile, put down the small bowl in her hand, gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk scarf, and ran out of Lanxinyuan like a happy little bird.

　　Zhou Xue looked at Zhou Yun and said, "Xiao Yun, you and Xiao Mu can use my room to practice. I'm sorting out the things I need for this trip. We can't let Jun Yao do these things."

　　"Well, thank you, sister." Zhou Yun smiled gratefully at Zhou Xue, stopped eating, and took Xiao Mu's hand.

　　"Xiao Mu, come on, go over there with your brother. I have something to give you." Zhou Yun picked up Xiao Mu and spoke gently.

　　Xiao Mu had always trusted Zhou Yun, so she naturally would not refuse Zhou Yun's arrangement. She looked at Zhou Yun with a pair of bright eyes and said cutely, "Brother Zhou Yun, what skills are you going to teach Xiao Mu?"

　　Seeing Xiao Mu's cute appearance, Zhou Yun couldn't help but smile, "Let's go, you'll know later."

　　Holding Xiao Mu in his arms, Zhou Yun turned and walked towards the wing room of Lan Xinyuan.

　　Chapter 218 The Mysterious Third Prince

　　Carrying Xiao Mu to the room where Zhou Xue lived, Zhou Yun closed all the doors and windows. A slight darkness immediately spread in the room... With Zhou Yun's cultivation level, such darkness naturally would not have any impact on his vision.

　　But what surprised Zhou Yun was that in such a dark environment, Xiao Mu's eyes were still as bright, and he was looking at him curiously in the darkness, which was no different from when there was light in the room.

　　Seeing Xiao Mu's bright eyes, Zhou Yun immediately asked, "Xiao Mu, can you see things in the dark?"

　　With a sweet and innocent smile on his face, Xiao Mu said obediently, "Yes, I can see it all the time, as clearly as in the daytime."

　　After hearing Xiao Mu's answer, Zhou Yun couldn't help but nod secretly. The Hydra Demon had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and his vision was indeed not comparable to his. The Hydra Demon could spot these talents in Xiao Mu at a glance, but he ignored them.

　　Pulling Xiao Mu into the bedroom, Zhou Yun pulled over a mat, sat on the head of the bed, put Xiao Mu on the bed, waved his hand slightly, took out the set of exercises he had copied yesterday, and gave it to Xiao Mu.

　　"Xiao Mu, this set of secret manuals was given to you by a senior master. You should practice according to the methods in the secret manuals. If you don't understand something, just tell me." Zhou Yun copied the secret manuals into a thin booklet. He handed the booklet to Xiao Mu and spoke.

　　This set of secret techniques is called Lingbao Zhenjing. Zhou Yun tried to understand it when he was recording it, but he found that it was really obscure and difficult to understand. There was no way to grasp the key points. Sometimes he didn't even know what it was trying to express.

　　Now, if this secret book is given to Xiao Mu, can she really practice it?

　　With this in mind, Zhou Yun did not start practicing immediately after handing the secret book to Xiao Mu, but silently observed Xiao Mu's reaction.

　　Xiao Mu trusted Zhou Yun very much. Since Zhou Yun wanted her to practice this set of secrets, she naturally had no objection. After getting the secrets, Xiao Mu sat obediently at the head of the bed, opened the booklet in her hand, and began to browse the contents.

　　During the whole process, Xiao Mu's brows never furrowed, as if what was written in the booklet was very easy to understand.

　　After silently browsing the contents of the booklet, Xiao Mu immediately sat down cross-legged, put his five hearts toward the sky, and began to breathe in and out gently.

　　"Does that mean he has completely understood it? Has he started practicing?" Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw Xiao Mu's actions.

　　He quickly opened his spiritual sense within a certain range to feel Xiao Mu's condition. At this moment, Zhou Yun immediately discovered some special conditions of Xiao Mu. It was obvious that Xiao Mu had already started practicing at this time, which could be seen from her breathing.

　　When Xiao Mu breathes, the frequency of breath exchange in his body is extremely fast, and the length and speed are not uniform. It looks a bit scattered, but if you experience it carefully, you feel that there are some inherent rules.

　　With this breathing method, the exchange of air between Xiao Mu's body and the outside world can be accelerated several times, and more strength can be absorbed.

　　"This Nine-Headed Demon Senior really has a good vision, and the Lingbao Sutra is indeed extraordinary." Seeing that Xiao Mu understood the contents of the Lingbao Sutra after only reading it once, while he himself had no idea how to practice it after racking his brains, Zhou Yun could only sigh helplessly.

　　Xiao Mu had already entered the state, and Zhou Yun no longer paid attention to her and immersed himself in cultivation.

　　With a deep breath, Zhou Yun separated a trace of consciousness and entered the boundary crystal space of the Chaos Crystal. At the same time, his main body and condensed body began to meditate and regulate his breath. During this period of regulation, Zhou Yun's inherent lightning power began to be fully mobilized, and through the continuous exchange of the sound and thunder cloud method, it reached the point where it was truly fused with the five internal organs and blood.

　　Zhou Yun had already started practicing. At this time, in the underground secret room under the exquisite Huayang Palace in the imperial palace, a young man wearing a yellow training suit, with a handsome face but a bit of coldness, was sitting there silently.

　　This Huayang Palace is the bedroom of the third prince of the dynasty. The palace is extremely magnificent, but it is sparsely populated. Although there are not many servants in some other palaces, there are at least one or two personal servants.

　　However, there was not a single servant in the Huayang Palace. Not only that, the entire palace gave off a gloomy and cold feeling that made people shudder.

　　The young man in yellow robe sitting on the stone platform in the basement was practicing silently, but his condition during practice was somewhat different from that of ordinary people. Although he was also sitting, it was not difficult to find out through careful feeling that the Qi and blood in this young man's body were not circulating at all when he was practicing.

　　On the contrary, a strange vein was constantly surging with his breathing. In front of the young man, a black bead was emitting an evil power. Whenever the young man inhaled, a black gas would emerge from the black bead and then be inhaled into the young man's nostrils.

　　Most of the meridians in that young man's body were concentrated on his back. With every breath he took, it seemed as if a pair of huge black wings were about to condense behind him.

　　Finally, after a long period of training, with a "puff" sound like a cloak spreading out, a pair of huge wings spread out from behind the young man. The wings were completely black and looked extremely evil.

　　The young man's face became even more gloomy and terrifying at this moment, with an extremely evil feeling. When he laughed, the young man's face had a twisted feeling.

　　"Hehe, I have finally recovered my strength to the Realm Master stage. From today on, everything can be accelerated. Li Zhi, Li Jing, just wait and see. You thought I was dead, but you didn't expect that I actually survived and am still gradually recovering my strength. The day I fully recover will be the day when the Tianyuan Continent will be destroyed!" A cold black light flashed in the eyes, and the young man laughed grimly.

　　Taking a deep breath, the young man waved his hand slightly, and the black bead floating in front of him was immediately sucked into his mouth. Then, the cold and strange black aura around him completely disappeared.

　　Standing up, the coldness and evilness on the young man disappeared at once, and he became more sunny and handsome.

　　Opening the basement door, the young man walked out slowly.

　　When he arrived at the main hall of Huayang Palace, the young man had already changed into a full set of Qianlong brocade robe and a golden jade belt, with a Chongtian crown on his head and Tengyun boots on his feet. He had turned back into the elegant appearance of a prince.

　　Sitting in the main hall, the young man raised his hand and gently pulled a rope at hand.

　　Suddenly, a series of fine bell sounds were heard, and within a moment, a middle-aged warrior in his forties quickly walked along the corridor in the center of Huayang Palace and hugged the stewardess's thighs to read the full text.

　　"I am Lu Yan, your subordinate, and I greet the Third Prince." After entering the main hall, the middle-aged man immediately bowed respectfully. Upon closer inspection, the middle-aged man was Lu Yan, who had chased Zhou Yun all the way to Qiuyue Palace after he was surrounded and killed that day!

　　Sitting there, the Third Prince nodded calmly and said, "How are you doing with the things I asked you to do?"

　　After hearing what the Third Prince said, Lu Yan immediately spoke up, "To answer your question, Your Highness, the matter was not accomplished. Zhou Yun's cultivation was higher than we expected. Four warriors in the middle stage of the Martial Saint level died, and two warriors at the peak of the Martial Saint level were also severely injured. I chased after him as planned, but was driven back by the Third Princess, so I was unable to kill Zhou Yun."

　　As soon as Lu Yan finished speaking, the Third Prince's face immediately showed a gloomy color, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he said silently, "This Zhou Yun is improving faster and faster. At this rate, maybe in a year he will truly become the fourth pillar of the Tianyuan Dynasty. With Li Zhi, Li Jing and Lin Hailong, the Tianyuan Dynasty is already strong enough. If I let Zhou Yun grow up, my plan will be difficult to achieve."

　　Although the Third Prince recited these words silently, his volume was not too low. But the strange thing was that although Lu Yan was standing in the hall below, he could not hear anything at all, as if the Third Prince's voice was blocked.

　　After reciting silently, the Third Prince raised his head and said, "Lü Yan, Zhou Yun should have received the title by now, right? When will he leave the capital?"

　　He knew that if he wanted to touch Zhou Yun again, he would not have a better chance after missing the last opportunity in the palace. He could only wait until Zhou Yun was far away from the capital.

　　Lu Yan cupped his hands and said, "It should be tomorrow. Zhou Yun will leave early tomorrow morning."

　　Lu Yan has already inquired about this. Although the Lin family is also a solid group, there are many people paying attention to Zhou Yun now, so information such as the time of Zhou Yun's departure is still easy to find out.

　　Nodding, the Third Prince looked at Lu Yan below and asked, "Lu Yan, with your current strength, how confident are you in dealing with Zhou Yun?"

　　It is impossible for the Third Prince to kill Zhou Yun himself, and his martial arts are not suitable for doing so. Once he really takes action, it will inevitably cause an uproar. At this time, he can only rely on the power left by the previous Third Prince to do his job.

　　After thinking silently for a moment, Lu Yan slowly said, "If we act within a month, we should have an 80% chance of success."

　　When he was chasing Zhou Yun that day, he already had a feeling that Zhou Yun's current strength was still not as good as his. Although he knew that Zhou Yun's cultivation was improving very quickly, he was not without a backup plan.

　　If he takes action within a month, Lu Yan is confident that he can defeat Zhou Yun.

　　"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. You can mobilize all the forces under my command, including all the princes and nobles who support our side. You can unite with them. This time you must kill Zhou Yun! But one thing, don't touch Lin Junyao." A light flashed in his eyes, and the third prince spoke slowly.

　　After hearing what the Third Prince said, Lu Yan's eyes flashed with confusion, "Your Highness, if we want to kill Zhou Yun, the price we have to pay is too high. In this way, we will hit the Eighth Prince, but the Crown Prince will become more powerful, which is very disadvantageous to us."

　　Lu Yan's remarks were entirely from the perspective of an aide, analyzing the pros and cons of the fight for the throne, but he had no idea that the third prince did not care about the so-called throne at all.

　　All he wanted was to remove Zhou Yun, an obstacle in the future.

　　Sure enough, with a smile on his face, the Third Prince said calmly, "Do as I tell you. I have my reasons."

　　It was not easy to refuse, so Lu Yan could only bow respectfully and turn around to leave Huayang Palace.

　　Chapter 219: Thunder and Storm

　　In the palace, the third prince has once again prepared a killing move against Zhou Yun... At this time, in the mansion of the Duke of Pingnan, Zhou Yun has also come to the last night before returning to Heyang.

　　After a day of careful practice, the inherent lightning power in Zhou Yun's body has been further integrated into his blood and five internal organs. Moreover, the speed of power integration is slightly faster than Zhou Yun expected.

　　At this rate, it should be enough to practice for about three hours tonight.

　　For the entire day, Zhou Yun and Xiao Mu did not leave the house and practiced silently until dinner time, when they came out of the room where Zhou Xue lived. After having dinner with Zhou Xue and Lin Junyao, Zhou Xue took Xiao Mu Yue back to rest, creating a private space for Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao again.

　　There was no rush to rest. Lin Junyao and Zhou Yun pulled two lounge chairs into the pavilion in the small garden and enjoyed the moon and fine wine.

　　Normally, Lin Junyao never drinks alcohol, but in front of Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao has no such concerns.

　　He gently clinked glasses with Lin Junyao, and they both took a sip of the mellow wine in the glass.

　　"Zhou Yun, my brother said that our Lin family is also prepared to secretly support the Eighth Prince, so you don't need to worry about anything when you go to the South China Sea this time. You can handle all the problems according to your own wishes." Putting down the wine glass, Lin Junyao looked at Zhou Yun and said softly.

　　Zhou Yun was practicing the whole day today, Zhou Xue was preparing some things needed for the trip, and Lin Junyao stayed with Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin, and also heard some things about the South China Sea.

　　She knew that this time when Zhou Yun went to the South China Sea, the situation he would face would definitely be extremely difficult.

　　Looking at Zhou Yunyun's calm profile, Lin Junyao couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He knew that Zhou Yun suffered so much to give her a happy life. It was impossible for Lin Junyao not to be grateful for such feelings.

　　Leaning back in his chair, Zhou Yun looked at the bright stars in the sky and said softly, "Jun Yao, don't worry. Although there are some difficulties in going to the South China Sea this time, I have basically understood the situation in my mind, so there won't be any big problems."

　　After the siege in the palace, Zhou Yun has become more aware of how powerful his enemies are. Now Zhou Yun will not let go of any time.

　　Although his real body was here tasting wine and admiring the moon with Lin Junyao, the condensed body in the boundary crystal space was still constantly converting power according to the method of sound and thundercloud, allowing the inherent thunder and lightning power in his body to truly merge with the blood and five internal organs.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao suddenly stood up from her recliner and walked towards Zhou Yun.

　　"Jun Yao, what's wrong?" There was a small wooden table between the two people's recliners, and the distance was not far. Seeing Lin Jun Yao stand up and walk towards him, Zhou Yun immediately asked with some confusion.

　　With a hint of attachment in her eyes, Lin Junyao walked lightly to Zhou Yun's side and knelt down beside him.

　　"It's okay, I just suddenly want to lean on you." Lin Junyao leaned against Zhou Yun and said silently, "Zhou Yun, hold me and lean on me quietly for a while. You can practice in the basement at night, you don't have to accompany me by the bed."

　　Lin Junyao is a very sensible girl and naturally understands Zhou Yun’s current situation.

　　Even though she had no idea about cultivation, she knew that if a warrior wanted to become strong, he would have to go through a lot of hardships.

　　But after returning to the Lin family mansion these days, Zhou Yun's mind was mostly on her. The two spent a lot of time together during the day, and Zhou Yun needed to accompany her at night. Lin Junyao knew that Zhou Yun must have delayed his cultivation by doing this.

　　Zhou Yun wasted time on her, and had less time for cultivation. The dangers he would face after heading to the South China Sea would definitely become greater. Lin Junyao understood this.

　　After hearing Lin Junyao's words and looking at the well-behaved girl in his arms, Zhou Yun suddenly understood her feelings.

　　After gently kissing Lin Junyao on the forehead, Zhou Yun opened his arms and hugged Lin Junyao, saying softly, "Thank you."

　　Zhou Yun was truly grateful for Lin Junyao's obedience. He had given a lot to Lin Junyao, but Lin Junyao had done the same.

　　Shaking her head silently, Lin Junyao showed a gentle smile on her face and slowly closed her eyes.

　　Leaning in Zhou Yun's arms, she felt that her whole body had calmed down, and she felt extremely peaceful and happy.

　　After drinking a little wine and being held in Zhou Yun's arms, Lin Junyao felt very comfortable and relaxed. After a short while, she fell into a deep sleep. Feeling the soft and sweet breath of the girl in his arms, Zhou Yun's heart was filled with happiness.

　　"Jun Yao, don't worry, I will solve all the troubles in the South China Sea as soon as possible." Looking at Lin Jun Yao's beautiful profile, Zhou Yun spoke firmly in his heart.

　　Standing up, Zhou Yun held Lin Junyao in his arms and slowly walked towards the master bedroom at the back of Lan Xinyuan.

　　After putting Lin Junyao on the bed, Zhou Yun helped Lin Junyao close the curtains, turned around and walked out of Lin Junyao's room, and went straight to the basement of Lan Xinyuan.

　　There are still six hours left before departure tomorrow morning. During this period of time, Zhou Yun needs to integrate the last bit of lightning power in his body. In addition, he must quickly familiarize himself with some advanced moves behind the All-Seeing Thunder Fist. These moves will be of great help to Zhou Yun in the next battle.

　　After entering the basement, Zhou Yun did not waste a minute. He sat down directly on the platform in the center of the stone chamber and began to regulate his breathing little by little according to the method of sound, thunder and cloud.

　　It had been several days since he had practiced in such an absolutely relaxing environment. As soon as he sat on the stone platform, Zhou Yun immediately immersed himself in it. With his breathing, layers of thunder and lightning power immediately began to flow and blend in Zhou Yun's body.

　　His mind had completely calmed down, and Zhou Yun gradually entered a state of emptiness.

　　Finally, three hours passed, and the original lightning power in Zhou Yun's body had finally completely merged with his blood and internal organs, truly becoming a truly integrated power buried in Zhou Yun's body.

　　Feeling it at this moment, Zhou Yun suddenly discovered that the connection between these powers and himself had become closer than before, and now it has become very easy and simple to control these powers.

　　"Now, it's time to learn the next moves of the All-Elephant Thunder Fist." After completing the fusion, although he has not yet learned more advanced moves, Zhou Yun has already felt that his strength is now much stronger than before.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun slowly ended his practice. Even the condensed body of Zhou Yun in the crystal boundary space also completely ended his practice at this time. Retracting the trace of thoughts that were scattered in the crystal boundary space, Zhou Yun truly sat down and concentrated on reading the full text of The Best Tang Doctor.

　　Unlike the previous practice, Zhou Yun was going to carefully figure out the next moves of the Myriad Thunder Fist in the next period of time. When practicing, Zhou Yun separated a little of his thoughts, allowing the main body and the condensed body to practice at the same time, which would naturally be more efficient. However, when learning secrets and studying combat skills, he must concentrate fully, so that he can comprehend the essence of combat skills more quickly.

　　Sitting there, Zhou Yun took out the secret book of the Wanxiang Benlei Fist, placed the book on his knees and gently opened it.

　　The first volume of the All-Seeing Thunder Fist is the method of the Sound of Thunder Clouds. Zhou Yun has already mastered this volume. Sitting there, Zhou Yun directly moved the secret book to the second volume of the All-Seeing Thunder Fist.

　　"Wind, clouds and thunder!"

　　Opening the second volume, four big characters immediately came into Zhou Yun's sight.

　　"Wind, clouds and thunder, this seems to be a method of controlling momentum." Looking at the contents on the cover of the second volume, Zhou Yun recited silently.

　　With a silent mutter, Zhou Yun's hands began to flip through the secret book. As Zhou Yun continued to flip through the secret book, the four pages of the second volume came into his sight one by one.

　　As Zhou Yun had thought, this wind, cloud, thunder and lightning was a method of controlling momentum. Moreover, this wind, cloud, thunder and lightning was vaguely related to the All-Seeing Thunder Prison in the third volume.

　　The Wanxiang Thunder Prison gathers the lightning power in the body to create thunderclouds, and then injects the lightning power into the clouds, eventually unleashing the Wanxiang Thunder Prison's strongest attack.

　　The wind, clouds and thunder simplified the violent flow of lightning in the Wanxiang Thunder Prison, leaving only thunderclouds without attacking, creating an extremely terrifying pressure.

　　"This method of controlling aura is truly mysterious. As long as you master it, you can not only gain an advantage in battle, but also control the ultimate killer move, the Thunder Prison of All Things, with greater ease in the future." Looking at the words written on the secret book, Zhou Yun nodded continuously.

　　After reading the secret book carefully twice and confirming that he had completely understood the Fengyun Leidong technique, Zhou Yun put the secret book away, held his breath, and began to practice according to the method in the secret book.

　　As Zhou Yun's aura changed, a substantial and intimidating force immediately spread out from Zhou Yun's body. At this moment, Zhou Yun had not yet mobilized all his internal strength, but now Zhou Yun was no longer the weak Zhou Yun before.

　　Even without mobilizing his true strength, the murderous intent and oppressive feeling on Zhou Yun's body were already extremely terrifying.

　　The temperature in the air seemed to drop by four or five degrees at once, and Zhou Yun began to gradually mobilize the true energy in his body. As the lightning true energy in his body gathered little by little, dark clouds began to gather above Zhou Yun's head.

　　Dark clouds gathered, true energy surged, thunder and lightning roared, and as Zhou Yun really began to exert his power, the powerful pressure suddenly increased by several levels. The surrounding air seemed to be condensing under Zhou Yun's pressure.

　　Moreover, under such pressure, Zhou Yun could actually transform the momentum and pressure of wind, clouds and thunder into real attacks from the Wanxiang Thunder Prison at any time. The power increased by several levels at once!

　　Already familiar with the method of Sound and Thunder Cloud, Zhou Yun has truly integrated these three techniques by using Wind, Cloud and Thunder, plus the Thunder Cloud of All Things.

　　Feeling the pressure he exuded almost condensing the air like a substance, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure in his heart!

　　After learning the first two levels of the All-Seeing Thunder Fist, Zhou Yun's foundation has been truly laid. Next, it is time for this All-Seeing Thunder Fist to blossom in his hands!

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun put away his method of intimidating others with thunder and lightning, took a deep breath, sat down, and opened the secret book of the Myriad Things Thunder Fist again, preparing to learn the fourth level of the skills.

　　Chapter 220: Wings of Lightning

　　After mastering the power of wind, cloud and thunder, Zhou Yun finally began to learn the fourth level of the Myriad Thunder Fist. The Myriad Thunder Fist has five levels in total, and the third level already has powerful killing moves such as the Myriad Thunder Prison. Zhou Yun doesn't know what kind of powerful moves will appear when this skill reaches the fourth level...

　　With a hint of anticipation, Zhou Yun opened the fourth volume of the Wanxiang Benlei Fist.

　　"Wings of Lightning! Could it be a flying combat skill?"

　　Zhou Yun's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the words on the fourth volume of the Myriad Thunder Fist. The name "Wings of Lightning" sounded elegant. Zhou Yun knew that there were such things as flying combat skills in the world, and it was rumored that when a warrior's cultivation reached a certain level, he could fly even without relying on combat skills.

　　Originally, Zhou Yun thought that a warrior at the Martial Saint level could do this, but after Zhou Yun learned about a deeper cultivation system from the Hydra Demon, his original idea was completely overturned by Zhou Yun.

　　In his opinion, the realm of Martial Saint is no longer considered as a strong one. The strong ones he will face next are far beyond the reach of a simple Martial Saint.

　　Under such circumstances, Zhou Yun really had no idea what level of realm one must reach to be able to fly in the air.

　　But now, the Wings of Thunder provided Zhou Yun with such a possibility.

　　With a hint of excitement, Zhou Yun immediately opened the secret book and began to read it. As Zhou Yun read it, the full picture of the Lightning Wings technique was immediately stored in his mind.

　　"So, flying is achieved in this way. This General Shenwei is truly a genius." After reading the secret text of the Wings of Lightning, Zhou Yun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

　　The Wings of Lightning is indeed a flying skill, but it is impossible for all practitioners to achieve the purpose of flying immediately after practicing this skill. Before being able to fly, the Wings of Lightning can be regarded as a physical skill, and the role it plays is no small matter.

　　As the name suggests, the Wings of Thunder rely on the power of thunder and lightning to form a pair of wings of lightning on the back. If the strength of the thunder and lightning power is strong enough and the warrior's ability to control thunder and lightning is strong enough, these wings of thunder and lightning can support the warrior to perform flying movements.

　　Having already memorized the secret of luck in his mind, Zhou Yun put away the secret book in his hand, stood up, calmed himself, and slowly began to try to activate the wings of lightning.

　　Along with a layer of blue lightning floating, a layer of lightning power began to circulate from Zhou Yun's dantian. Then, with a "puff" sound, two blue lightning lights suddenly erupted from the shoulder blade position behind Zhou Yun.

　　However, this time Zhou Yun did not control the intensity of the lightning well, let alone forming a wing shape. Once the two lightning bolts were emitted, they dissipated directly in the basement. If Zhou Yun had not recovered them quickly and reduced the power in time, the two lightning bolts would probably have turned into two terrifying attacks and hit the wall of the basement directly.

　　The first use was a complete failure, and Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh, "This Lightning Wing is really not that easy to use. After all, the Lightning Wing is generated on the back. I have never tried to control lightning with my back before. If I use my hands, it will probably be very simple."

　　At this point, Zhou Yun stretched out his left hand at the same time, followed by a "puff" sound, and suddenly, a pair of real and condensed wings appeared on both of Zhou Yun's hands. As soon as his hands separated, the pair of wings immediately spread out. Then, Zhou Yun controlled Mo Yun's lightning power, and the subtle flow of power immediately circulated on the pair of wings.

　　A little bit of true energy began to surge out from the side of the wings facing the ground. With the help of this true energy, Zhou Yun's body gradually floated up. During the floating process, Zhou Yun couldn't help but practice the method of sound and thunder cloud. During this breathing, the little true energy consumed by Zhou Yun's wings was immediately absorbed back into his body. In this situation, Zhou Yun didn't need to spend his true energy at all when flying in the air.

　　I have to say, even if it's just floating lightly, the feeling of being in control of everything in the agility is undoubtedly extremely tempting. Although the way of floating is not quite right, Zhou Yun still fell in love with this feeling.

　　But Zhou Yun knew that this was not the true form of the Wings of Lightning. After experiencing this feeling, Zhou Yun retracted the lightning power from his arms and fell from mid-air.

　　"The problem now is that I am not proficient enough in controlling lightning with other parts of my body, and I cannot use my back to flexibly control this power. This should be alleviated slowly with more practice. From now on, I will practice well and become familiar with it as soon as possible." Zhou Yun muttered to himself as he landed on the ground.

　　Although he had only floated for a short while, Zhou Yun still felt the power of the Wings of Lightning. Judging from his feeling just now, as long as he could use all his strength to activate the Wings of Lightning, he could even fly directly to several thousand meters, or even higher altitudes. Apart from anything else, if he could use it flexibly, this trick could be used as a means of saving his life.

　　Having made up his mind to hone the Wings of Lightning, Zhou Yun immediately began to practice attentively while standing there, slowly circulating his true energy. When the true energy reached the shoulder blade, Zhou Yun would slightly stimulate it, allowing a trace of strength to emanate from the shoulder blade.

　　Ziz...ziz...

　　Lightning flashed, and two bolts of lightning began to extend from Zhou Yun's shoulder blades little by little, just like new muscles, growing little by little and carefully protecting themselves.

　　Zhou Yun tried to control the two lightning forces by operating his power very carefully.

　　Gradually, the pair of wings took shape under Zhou Yun's careful control.

　　Seeing that the wings had already taken their initial shape, Zhou Yun's heart immediately burst into joy. He mobilized his strength again and began to try to turn the pair of wings.

　　call!

　　It would have been better if he didn't try to control it. As soon as Zhou Yun made the controlled movement, the pair of lightning wings immediately spread out.

　　However, Zhou Yun was unwilling to fail like this. This kind of failure was something he had to bear. Zhou Yun knew that it was not easy to hone a certain position to the point of being completely familiar with it and being able to use it smoothly.

　　It's just like controlling your left hand and left foot, which are not used for delicate work. Although it can be practiced, it still requires a lot of effort.

　　After failing once, Zhou Yun did not wait or complain, but immediately started practicing again, because Zhou Yun always believed that hard work can make up for lack of talent.

　　Zhou Yun had been practicing and activating the Wings of Lightning, but this time he seemed to have made a mistake. No matter how he tried to control it with his body, he couldn't control the Wings of Lightning.

　　"It still doesn't work!" Finally, after another failed attempt, Zhou Yun could only speak helplessly, "The position of the shoulder blade on the back is completely different from that of the hands. Even if it is not the left hand that is dominant, even the left foot is actually very flexible and can easily control the Lightning Wings. However, the position of the shoulder blade usually moves by inertia and has no autonomous control at all. It is really too difficult to control it now."

　　With his brows knitted into a knot, Zhou Yun thought about the current difficulties and spoke silently.

　　At this rate of progress, let alone flying freely using the Wings of Lightning, even simply taking off has become extremely difficult.

　　"Hmm?" Just when Zhou Yun was struggling, suddenly, a clue jumped into his mind.

　　Thinking back to what he had just said silently, the four words "autonomous control" suddenly gave Zhou Yun more inspiration.

　　"Yes, it's autonomous control." Catching this hint of inspiration, Zhou Yun's sad expression immediately disappeared. "Since there is no way to control it flexibly with the body, then add a little bit of thought. If it can be done, autonomous control can also be achieved!"

　　Adding a trace of consciousness would be impossible for others, but Zhou Yun no longer had such a problem. With the Chaos Crystal, Zhou Yun often released a trace of consciousness into the boundary crystal space to control the condensed body and the main body to practice together. In many cases, the condensed body in the boundary crystal space practiced more time than Zhou Yun's main body.

　　Zhou Yun has become very adept at using a little bit of his mind to control something.

　　He did what he said. After Zhou Yun figured out this step, he stood up straight again, closed his eyes slightly and adjusted his breathing. A trace of his mind was immediately separated, and he began to try to control the lightning power in his body to form wings of lightning.

　　As Zhou Yun separated a bit of his consciousness, the wings of lightning suddenly became easier to control. The complete wings of lightning finally unfolded behind Zhou Yun. He controlled the wings of lightning to flap gently. Although he did not release his true energy to assist, Zhou Yun's body was already able to float gently.

　　"This is really amazing! This All-Things Thunder Fist is really powerful!" Floating at a height of three or four meters, feeling this completely different new world, Zhou Yun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

　　Just now, Zhou Yun also used his hands to draw wings of lightning and tried to take off, but the feeling at that time was completely different from the feeling now. At that time, Zhou Yun used his hands to control the wings. Although he could still get into the air and fly, Zhou Yun's hands were completely useless and he could no longer attack from high altitudes.

　　Now, using his mind to control the wings on his back, Zhou Yun's hands are completely free and he can attack at will. The feeling of control immediately increased a lot!

　　After finding this new method, Zhou Yun immediately couldn't help but want to test out the effect and experience the feeling of flying freely.

　　This underground secret room was obviously not suitable. After folding his wings, Zhou Yun sat cross-legged again and put all his thoughts into the crystal space.

　　Controlling the condensed body in the boundary crystal space, Zhou Yun separated a trace of consciousness, and immediately, a pair of lightning wings floated out from behind the condensed body.

　　call!

　　Feeling a burst of exhilaration, Zhou Yun mobilized his true strength and flapped his wings. Suddenly, Zhou Yun's body flew into the air and reached a height of fifty or sixty meters in an instant!

　　"This feeling is really great!" Flying freely in the air, Zhou Yun occasionally mobilized his true energy to bombard the ground below. Looking at the various horrific effects caused by his attacks, Zhou Yun's confidence suddenly soared.

　　With these Lightning Wings, as long as I don't encounter an opponent that is too strong, who else in the South China Sea can stop me! ?

　　In an instant, Zhou Yun also became full of passion!

　　Chapter 221 Testing the bottom line!

　　Flying quickly in the ink-colored world, the many toxins that Zhou Yun had previously absorbed into the ink-colored world had now become very strong. The Chaos Crystal was originally a transcendent existence that nurtured everything. Even some toxins could continue to grow in this Chaos Crystal...

　　Zhou Yun was flying very fast. With the help of the wings of lightning, he even had the idea of ​​taking a good look at this entire inky world.

　　After choosing a direction, Zhou Yun began to use all his strength to activate the Wings of Lightning to fly. In the sky, Zhou Yun's pair of blue wings flapped rapidly, and the whole person almost turned into a beam of light. If you stand at a certain point in the inky world to look at Zhou Yun, you may only see a beam of blue light!

　　But even so, Zhou Yun had been flying for half an hour, and the scenery under his feet still did not change at all.

　　You know, at this time Zhou Yun was at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. In this case, Zhou Yun's vision was extremely far. In this case, Zhou Yun could not see any boundaries at all!

　　"Come back! At your current speed, it will take you forty years to cross the Chaos Crystal." Just when Zhou Yun was confused about whether he should continue to move forward, a majestic voice came over.

　　This voice came from the Hydra Demon!

　　"Forty years!" Upon hearing the words of the nine-headed snake demon, Zhou Yun's heart was immediately filled with shock!

　　Zhou Yun calculated that at the speed he was flying just now, he could travel about 2,000 miles in one hour! According to the records in the literature, the distance between the north and south of Tianyuan Continent is 80,000 miles. It only takes Zhou Yun more than three days to cross the entire Tianyuan Continent, but it takes forty years to cross the Chaos Crystal!

　　How big is this Chaos Crystal?

　　Furthermore, how did the Hydra know these things!?

　　Having given up the idea of ​​seeing if there were any other sights in this inky world, Zhou Yun turned around and headed back the way he came.

　　Since he no longer had the energy to rush on the road like before, Zhou Yun returned to the place where he started about a cup of tea later. Next to the giant tree, the Hydra demon was already waiting there.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun coming, the nine-headed snake demon opened the mouth of the third snake head on the right side suddenly before Zhou Yun could ask the doubts in his heart, and immediately, a force with a strong smell of decay rushed towards Zhou Yun!

　　The black power with a decaying aura was extremely terrifying. It almost destroyed the world as soon as it struck, making Zhou Yun feel irresistible. Although he had fought with the Hydra Demon once before in the Black Flame Continent, the Hydra Demon didn't take him seriously at that time and certainly didn't use his full strength. Zhou Yun naturally didn't know how powerful the Hydra Demon really was!

　　At this time, the Hydra attacked again, and Zhou Yun truly realized the power of the ancient troll in front of him!

　　"Try your best. I want to test your bottom line!" Just when Zhou Yun was shocked and at a loss, the majestic voice of the Hydra demon came again.

　　Listening to the words of the Hydra Demon, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a fighting spirit emerge in his chest!

　　"Let's fight! A warrior must not lose confidence and courage to fight at any time. I am determined to surpass this nine-headed snake demon. How can I fall behind here!" Zhou Yun encouraged himself in his heart, and his eyes immediately became sharp!

　　call!

　　Pushed by the wings, his body suddenly rose up a bit, and Zhou Yun barely avoided the attack of the black true power!

　　In a flash, a blue-purple lightning force appeared on Zhou Yun's body, bringing him to another world.

　　"Thunder strike!" With a loud shout, Zhou Yun's hands suddenly blasted towards the Hydra demon, but this time the attack was not aimed at the third head of the Hydra demon, but the power of his left and right fists hit the first and ninth head of the Hydra demon respectively!

　　"Haha! You are so cunning!" Unexpectedly, Zhou Yun would react in this way. The nine-headed snake demon immediately laughed wildly! The big mouths on the first and second snake heads suddenly opened. Suddenly, a stream of fire spit out from the first snake head, directly dispersing Zhou Yun's lightning power. The ninth snake head slightly opened its mouth, and the lightning power emitted by Zhou Yun was actually directly sucked in and disappeared into thin air!

　　"Huh!?" Zhou Yun was immediately surprised when he saw the situation below. Zhou Yun had already used all his strength in that attack, but the Hydra Demon had easily neutralized Zhou Yun's power!

　　This kind of great power is really unheard of. The most important thing is that at this time Zhou Yun has not felt any pressure from the Hydra Demon. If the Hydra Demon is really strong, how could there be no pressure?

　　General Yan Yin and General Hu Pen were with Lu Yan. When they approached Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun could clearly feel the pressure from the warriors!

　　GABA! GABA!

　　As if it saw what Zhou Yun was thinking, the nine-headed snake demon suddenly emanated a strange nine-colored light. It seemed that the nine colors of dazzling light gathered together and then completely merged.

　　This kind of light was almost a color that Zhou Yun had never heard of before. It was light red, slightly white, a touch of orchid, some pure black, a little purple, as well as blue, green and other colors mixed in it, blending into a strange light that made people feel chaotic and uneasy, but this light carried a sense of majesty!

　　As soon as this light appeared on the body of the Hydra Demon, Zhou Yun immediately felt as if he was being controlled!

　　Under the cover of this light, Zhou Yun froze in the air for a moment! He couldn't even fall down, his whole body was trembling, and cold sweat soaked his whole body in an instant!

　　"What kind of pressure is this!" Below, the body of the nine-headed snake demon had completely stood up at this moment, with a part of its neck stretched out, which was actually more than a hundred meters high. The tiny necks under the nine snake heads connected at the neck began to sway slightly, which was extremely majestic and terrifying!

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun was subdued by itself, the nine-headed snake demon seemed to want to tease Zhou Yun deliberately. The two snake heads in front opened their mouths, and suddenly, two forces, one ice and one fire, swept towards Zhou Yun!

　　The two forces advanced very slowly, but from a distance they had already brought Zhou Yun a biting cold and a heat that seemed to burn his soul!

　　"I must dodge!" Looking at the two forces slowly sweeping towards him, Zhou Yun couldn't help but shout wildly in his heart.

　　He knew that the Hydra Demon's sudden move this time was probably because he wanted to see where his real bottom line was, what kind of pressure he could withstand, and what kind of power he had!

　　Zhou Yun would not allow himself to be defeated in one confrontation!

　　Boom! Boom! Boom!

　　Under the terrifying pressure, Zhou Yun's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. It was the instinctive fear when facing the crushing of absolute power. It can be said that Zhou Yun was now completely subdued, and even retaining consciousness became a luxury!

　　There seemed to be no other thoughts in his mind. He could only feel the cold and the heat, as well as the two forces slowly sweeping over him!

　　Staying below, the Hydra Demon was also quietly watching Zhou Yun. He also wanted to see what level Zhou Yun could reach. The eye in the center was actually slightly opened at this moment!

　　Zhou Yun in mid-air seemed to have fallen into silence. Such a force was almost beyond his ability to resist. Even his consciousness was lost under such terrifying pressure!

　　"Is there no way to escape? How great it would be if I could get a force to help me at this time. With just a little bit of strength, I can break free from this pressure!" When his consciousness was dying, Zhou Yun was still shouting wildly in his heart.

　　At this moment, the two forces were about to hit Zhou Yun. The cold and burning sensations that were dozens of times stronger than before actually brought him great pain, and instantly brought Zhou Yun a little clarity! !

　　"I have the strength!" Taking advantage of this moment of clarity, a feeling of clarity suddenly flashed through Zhou Yun's mind.

　　Sitting in the underground secret room of the Lin family, Zhou Yun's real body frowned for a moment at this moment. After a violent and frantic flow of true energy throughout his body, a purple light gathered from his whole body and suddenly flowed into Zhou Yun's fingertips.

　　That fingertip was exactly at the Chongling point in Zhou Yuntian’s spiritual vein!

　　This force actually flowed backwards, from Zhou Yun's body to the condensed body of the Chaos Crystal!

　　With this force, Zhou Yun found the point of leverage in an instant!

　　His eyes suddenly focused, and at this moment, spots of purple light burst out from Zhou Yun's eyeballs. Zhou Yun's body suddenly became illusory. He was using the secret method of creating a clear and empty state of mind!

　　As soon as this secret technique was used, a part of the Hydra demon's pressure immediately passed through his body and could no longer have any effect on Zhou Yun.

　　The electric light on his body almost completely turned into pure purple at this moment. Zhou Yun clenched his fists. Suddenly, layers of thick dark clouds accompanied by thunder and lightning madly covered him, and immediately enveloped the area where Zhou Yun and the Hydra Demon were in darkness!

　　brush!

　　Just when the two forces of ice and fire hit Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun's body turned into a majestic purple light and left its original position in an instant!

　　"Hmm!?" A puzzled nasal sound came from its body cavity. The Hydra raised his eyes to look for Zhou Yun's trace. The speed at which Zhou Yun escaped just now was so fast that he couldn't see clearly!

　　"The Thunder Prison of All Things!" Just when the nine-headed snake demon was trying to find Zhou Yun's figure, a majestic and wild voice suddenly came over!

　　In a flash, the Hydra Demon suddenly discovered that the majestic thundercloud had already covered his head without him knowing when!

　　Boom boom boom boom!!!

　　Before the Hydra Demon could react, a series of violent thunderbolts struck directly from the thunderclouds, and all of these lightningbolts were pure purple.

　　At this moment, a solemn and serious aura appeared on the body of the nine-headed sex demon!

　　"Hu!" A low syllable that sounded like a spell emerged, and a layer of chaotic halo immediately enveloped the body of the Hydra Demon! The color of the halo was exactly the same as the nine-colored light emitted from the Hydra Demon just now. The halo was semicircular and directly enveloped the Hydra Demon!

　　The next moment, intensive thunder strikes directly hit the nine-colored halo, causing ripples but unable to break through!

　　"Hehe, power like yours is not enough to break through my Chaos Body Protection Divine Light!" Although he was shocked that Zhou Yun could have such a performance in the crisis just now and broke free from his Nine Dragons Power, the Hydra Demon was stunned for a moment and still blocked Zhou Yun's attack again!

　　At this time, Zhou Yun was floating above the head of the Hydra Demon. Listening to the words of the Hydra Demon, a surge of wildness and anger surged in Zhou Yun's chest!

　　"Unable to break through? Then I'll let you see if I have stronger power!" A cold voice came out, and Zhou Yun's body suddenly stretched out extremely, and then quickly showed a fist-clenching posture, with his whole body tense!

　　Immediately, the lightning in the thundercloud above became more intense!

　　Chapter 222 Three Sets

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun had already naturally used the method of sound and thundercloud. After using this method, Zhou Yun suddenly realized that his ability to control lightning had reached a higher level...

　　Although his control over thunder and lightning was already very strong before, that kind of control was more rigid and somewhat brutal, rather than the rational and flexible control.

　　Now, Zhou Yun can not only rely on the eight extraordinary meridians in his body to control the power of thunder and lightning, but also control the power of thunder and lightning in the meridians through breathing.

　　With a deep breath, Zhou Yun clenched his fists suddenly!

　　Suddenly, a strong purple light bloomed from Zhou Yun's body, and even Zhou Yun's eyes were covered with a layer of terrifying purple, as if they were about to burn.

　　"Ah!!" Looking up, Zhou Yun roared loudly. All of a sudden, the small half of the blue in the lightning in the dark clouds above his head disappeared completely. Under Zhou Yun's urging, the light in the entire cloud layer turned purple. It was pure purple light!

　　At the same time, the purple light was no longer as thick as a bowl, but became as thick as a small bucket, almost three times the original lightning.

　　From blue with purple to pure purple, from lightning as thick as a bowl to as thick as a bucket, Zhou Yun's Thunder Prison immediately became more powerful!

　　Boom boom boom boom!!!

　　Crazy lightning bombarded the light shield held up by the Hydra Demon more intensively. Along with the terrifying sound of the bombardment, the light shield held up by the Hydra Demon actually showed signs of loosening!

　　Looking at the crazy Zhou Yun, a hint of horror flashed in the Hydra Demon's slightly opened eyes!

　　"This kid, with the cultivation level of a world master and without even a set of spirit acupoints opened up, actually has such power. His potential is truly limitless!" Looking at Zhou Yun in mid-air, the Hydra Demon thought silently in his heart.

　　He closed his eyes again, and the nine-colored halo on the Hydra demon suddenly flashed. All of Zhou Yun's lightning was completely blocked. The light shield that was almost unable to hold on just now immediately became complete.

　　"Stop..." The body landed again and returned to the lazy lying state. The Hydra demon just said a few words and immediately pulled Zhou Yun back from his madness.

　　Moreover, this mantra-like words interrupted Zhou Yun's power. It must be said that although Zhou Yun is very powerful now, he is still far behind the ancient giant demon like the Hydra. Other book friends are reading:.

　　After being pulled back to consciousness and seeing that the Hydra below had returned to its lazy state, Zhou Yun immediately suppressed his agitated emotions, took a deep breath, spread the wings on his back again, and slowly descended.

　　After unleashing his potential just now, Zhou Yun suddenly realized that his control over the Wings of Lightning had become even more precise than before.

　　Moreover, after this battle, Zhou Yun has opened a door. The power interaction between the main body and the condensed body has become smoother, and he has also mastered the use of sound thunderclouds in battle.

　　The most important thing is that Zhou Yun learned how to condense lightning in this battle. With the help of sound thunderclouds, Zhou Yun can transform blue lightning into purple. With just this one transformation, Zhou Yun's attack power when using the Universal Thunder Prison is several times greater than before!

　　After landing on the ground, Zhou Yun slowly walked towards the Hydra Demon. As the two approached, Zhou Yun bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Senior."

　　Facing the respectful Zhou Yun, the Hydra Demon was silent for a moment before speaking, "Zhou Yun, your progress surprises me. Perhaps in the future you can really create some miracles and occupy a place in the void."

　　After going through so many things, Zhou Yun's grasp of people and things is far beyond what it was before. The current Zhou Yun is no longer the silly young man.

　　Zhou Yun naturally heard the Hydra Demon's admiration from his words.

　　However, Zhou Yun had some reservations about his final evaluation of the Hydra Demon. The Hydra Demon only thought that he could occupy a place in the void, rather than achieve something. This was completely different from Zhou Yun's expectations.

　　Zhou Yun knew that the main problem facing Tianyuan Continent now came from the void. He had learned about the destruction of Chaos Continent from the Hydra Demon, and had also guessed what the void looked like...

　　Back then, the Chaos Continent was broken into countless pieces, and the Tianyuan Continent was just an inconspicuous piece of it. The Chaos Crystal in his hand was located at the core, and its range was unimaginably large.

　　From this, it can be seen that the situation in the void must be extremely complicated. With his current cultivation, he may not be a big deal in the void, but Zhou Yun has confidence in himself. He wants more than just surviving in the void.

　　"Thank you for the compliment, senior." However, although Zhou Yun did not acknowledge the definition given to him by the Hydra Demon in his heart, he would not show it on his face, and he still saluted and spoke very politely.

　　His body relaxed, and the Hydra demon once again returned to his previous lazy look.

　　"Now your body is already very strong, and your heavenly spiritual vein has been opened. Normally, only warriors at the realm master level can open the heavenly spiritual vein, but you have opened it in advance. This has to be said to be a miracle. However, your heavenly spiritual vein was not opened through normal channels. Although the spiritual vein is already open, you are far from having the ability of a realm master." The nine-headed snake demon spoke to Zhou Yun while entrenching its body.

　　After hearing what the Hydra Demon said, Zhou Yun was also surprised, especially when he learned that the spiritual vein on that day could only be opened by a martial artist at the realm master level.

　　Although Zhou Yun also knew that he did not have the ability of a realm master at present, it would be of great benefit to open up the Tianling Meridian. Although Zhou Yun did not know much about the Tianling Meridian, he knew that opening up the meridians was an extremely difficult stage in the cultivation of a warrior.

　　He believed that the same was true for opening up the Heavenly Spiritual Meridian. Now that he had directly opened up the Heavenly Spiritual Meridian, it meant that he had gained a huge advantage in cultivation!

　　"Senior, what should I do next?" Zhou Yun asked, bowing to the Hydra demon.

　　After a moment's silence, the Hydra said, "What you need to do now is to open up as many acupuncture points in the Heavenly Spiritual Vein as possible. There are 1,080 spiritual points in the Heavenly Spiritual Vein, and there are tens of thousands of permutations and combinations among them. These combinations can at most cover all the spiritual points, and at least only five acupuncture points can be connected. Each Heavenly Spiritual Vein has its own unique ability. Now what you need to do is to choose a set to open up, and then you can improve your ability."

　　"Originally, a normal warrior would enter the realm of the realm master stage only after opening up one set of skills. They would use this set to absorb spiritual energy and open up the Tianling acupoint, but it is not the case with you. Currently, your Tianling acupoint is open. As long as you open up one set, your strength will increase greatly. I have three sets here, all of which are more suitable for you. Some are easy and some are difficult, and the power is also different. It depends on you which set you want to open."

　　At this point, the mouth on the first head of the Hydra suddenly opened, and immediately, a flame gushed out, condensing into three pieces of densely packed words on the ground!

　　"Okay, copy down these three sets yourself. I have already written the good ones very clearly. You can make your own choice." After spitting out this flame, the Hydra Demon left a word to Zhou Yun, and its huge body immediately softened. With a loud bang, the Hydra Demon disappeared from Zhou Yun's sight.

　　"Farewell, senior!" Seeing the Hydra demon leaving, Zhou Yun immediately said goodbye, but the Hydra demon did not respond. After a moment, the earth stopped shaking and the surroundings became quiet again. Only the three flames left by the Hydra demon were still burning quietly.

　　These three flames occupy a large area, and it is impossible to complete the transcription on the ground. I am afraid that this is what the Hydra Demon did after knowing that Zhou Yun could already fly.

　　After all, it would be very time-consuming to dictate so much text.

　　"It's almost time. I'm afraid Jun Yao and my sister have already gotten up. It's too late to go out now. I should quickly copy these secrets and read them on the way." After the Hydra left, Zhou Yun immediately remembered what he should do today.

　　Today was the day he had agreed with Zhou Xue and Lin Junyao to set off for Heyang. According to the current time, he was already late.

　　Although it is possible to leave tomorrow, Zhou Yun knows that his sister Zhou Xue is eager to return to Heyang, and Zhou Xue definitely wants to go back earlier.

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun did not delay any longer. The wings of lightning appeared behind him. Zhou Yun suddenly soared into the sky. After taking off, the three pieces of text below immediately appeared clearly in front of Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun separated a trace of his consciousness and entered his body, and immediately began to quickly copy the three sets of secret books below.

　　While transcribing, although he was a hundred meters in the air, Zhou Yun still felt an extremely scorching force. The heat came from the flames spewed out by the Hydra demon.

　　When Zhou Yun copied down these three sets of secret techniques, his condensed body in the air had become extremely uncomfortable.

　　At this moment, Zhou Yun realized that the nine-headed snake demon had not used its full strength when fighting him. Otherwise, with such an intense flame, he would probably have no way to resist it at all!

　　"To what extent has this nine-headed snake demon reached? Why do I feel that there is no way to find out where his bottom line is at this moment? Moreover, I can't even see his boundaries." After transcribing all these things, Zhou Yun flew back to where his condensed body usually stayed.

　　Sitting cross-legged, Zhou Yun's consciousness immediately withdrew from the crystal space.

　　Sitting in the basement of the Lin family, Zhou Yun put away the three sets, his brows still furrowed.

　　At this time, Zhou Yun already had an extreme desire for the void. It was a feeling of infinite possibilities. Zhou Yun always felt that there, he could see many completely different things.

　　Now, the mystery and power of the Hydra Demon have already brought too much shock to Zhou Yun. Once he can really enter the void one day, how many exciting things will he see at that time?

　　"Just wait, I will be able to be promoted to the Realm Master stage soon and condense my strength. Void, I will go back eventually." Zhou Yun muttered silently, took a deep breath, and walked out of the Lin family's basement.

　　Chapter 223 Three Choices

　　This time, Zhou Yun still wasted a lot of time entering the Chaos Crystal space. When he came out of the basement, it was already past the departure time agreed with Zhou Xue and Lin Junyao...

　　Zhou Yun walked quickly all the way to the main house of Lanxinyuan. Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue were already sitting in the hall.

　　"Xiao Yun." Seeing Zhou Yun, Zhou Xue immediately stood up and went to greet him. Although she didn't say much, the questioning look in her eyes was very obvious. Zhou Xue really wanted to know whether they were still going to set off today. After all, it was almost noon.

　　"Zhou Yun, are we still leaving today?" At this time, Lin Junyao also had the same question. She knew that Zhou Xue was embarrassed to ask, so she naturally asked on her behalf.

　　With a look of apology on his face, Zhou Yun said, "Sister, Junyao, I am really sorry that I spent a little more time practicing today. We still have to set off today. Junyao, you accompany me to contact the carriage. I have to go and say goodbye to my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

　　Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying knew that Zhou Yun and the others were leaving today. At the departure time originally scheduled in the morning, Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying must have come here and met Jun Yao and Zhou Xue. Now Zhou Yun only needed to go and say hello to Lin Juntian and Fang Xueying.

　　When Zhou Xue heard Zhou Yun say that they would set off as usual today, a hint of joy could not help but appear on her face.

　　"Zhou Yun, go see your brother and sister-in-law. I've prepared everything here. We'll start loading the luggage into the car now. You can just meet us at the back door of the mansion later." Lin Junyao spoke obediently, smiling at Zhou Xue beside her.

　　"Well, thank you for your hard work, Junyao." Zhou Yun spoke gently after gently stroking Lin Junyao's smooth hair. He then signaled to Zhou Xue with his eyes, then turned and walked out of Lanxinyuan.

　　Zhou Yun was now very familiar with the Lin Family Mansion, and he came to the courtyard where Lin Juntian lived. The guards of the Lin Family Mansion were still very strict, but now everyone in the Lin Family knew Zhou Yun's identity, so those who were hiding in the dark would naturally not stop Zhou Yun.

　　Zhou Yun came directly to the main house of the courtyard. He was surprised to see some packages and gifts placed in the main house. Lin Juntian and Fang Xueyin were also in the main house.

　　"Brother, sister-in-law." Standing outside the house, Zhou Yun saluted with his fists clasped.

　　"Zhou Yun is here? Come in." After turning around and looking at Zhou Yun, Lin Juntian turned around again and continued to help Fang Xueying organize several boxes of super black tortoise clones placed in the hall.

　　The things in these boxes seemed to be extremely precious, and Lin Juntian was very careful when sorting them out.

　　"Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Looking at the two people's actions, Zhou Yun couldn't help but ask.

　　After sealing the last box, Fang Xueyin stood up and said to Zhou Yun, "I have stayed in the capital for more than a month. The war in the north has become more intense, and I have to go back."

　　After hearing Fang Xueying's words, Zhou Yun immediately understood. When he came here today, Zhou Yun could feel that Lin Juntian was not in a very good mood. It turned out that it was because Fang Xueying was about to leave.

　　Their wedding has been delayed until so late, and it has only been more than a month since their wedding, and Fang Xueying is leaving again. Under such circumstances, it would be strange for Lin Juntian to be in a good mood.

　　But Zhou Yun had no way to persuade them to do anything about this, so he could only say respectfully, "Brother, sister-in-law, I am here to say goodbye. Today I will take my sister and Jun Yao to Heyang."

　　Knowing that Zhou Yun came to talk about this, Lin Juntian didn't have any special expression on his face. He looked at Zhou Yun silently and said calmly, "Zhou Yun, this time when you go to the South China Sea, you must solve the trouble there as soon as possible. After stabilizing the situation, you must return quickly, understand? I don't want Jun Yao to suffer alone for too long."

　　Lin Juntian deeply understands the pain of being separated from his lover. He and Fang Xueyin both have their own business, so it is easier for them to deal with such a situation. However, Lin Junyao is a simple girl who lives in seclusion. When Zhou Yun is not around, Lin Junyao has nothing to do except reading and practicing piano. Such days must be even more difficult.

　　That's why Lin Juntian gave Zhou Yun such an explanation.

　　Naturally understanding the meaning of Lin Juntian's words, Zhou Yun nodded solemnly and said, "Brother, don't worry."

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's serious statement, Lin Juntian also showed a satisfied expression on his face, "Okay, I have already seen Jun Yao in the morning, you can leave directly, and be careful."

　　During this period of time, the Lin family mansion was relatively lively. He and Fang Xueying, Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue, Zhou Yun and his father Lin Hailong also stayed there for a while. It can be said that this period of time was the most lively in all the years of the Lin family.

　　But in the blink of an eye, Lin Hailong left, Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue left, Lin Junyao would also be away for a month, and Fang Xueying, the person he cared about the most, would also return to the military camp in the north. In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the huge Lin family. Even if Lin Juntian was strong, he couldn't help feeling a little lost at this time.

　　Naturally, Zhou Yun felt the bleak aura coming from Lin Juntian, but he couldn't say much.

　　Zhou Yun clasped his fists towards the two of them, then turned and walked out of the main house.

　　After leaving the courtyard where Lin Juntian lived, Zhou Yun went straight to the back garden, where four identical carriages were already parked.

　　"Jun Yao, there are so many carriages, shall we get one for each of the four of us?" Lin Jun Yao was standing in front of the convoy, watching the servants in the mansion load the gifts onto the carriages. This time when they were going to Heyang, they didn't bring much stuff with them, just some clothes and gifts, which would hardly take up much space when divided among the four carriages.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun had arrived, Lin Junyao immediately came over and said, "This is what my brother told me. Although there are four carriages, we will only use two of them. We will arrange some warriors to sit in the other two to avoid unexpected situations."

　　After hearing Lin Junyao's words, Zhou Yun immediately understood the meaning of arranging so many carriages.

　　Although Zhou Yun was going to the South China Sea with an order from the Ministry of War this time, the Tianyuan Dynasty was not peaceful at present. The fight for the throne among the princes was already chaotic, and the emperor and General Shenwei had not appeared for many years. Some rules in the court were becoming less and less binding. Therefore, even if Zhou Yun was ordered to go to the South China Sea, he might still be ambushed along the way.

　　"Well, let's do this. Xiao Mu and I will be in one car, and you and your sister will be in another. You will sit in the first car and we will sit in the second. This way I can keep an eye on you at any time." After thinking for a while, Zhou Yun spoke.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao's face showed a slight disappointment. She hoped to ride in a carriage with Zhou Yun, but considering that Zhou Yun still had to practice and might not have time to accompany her, Lin Junyao could still accept such an arrangement.

　　"Okay, then let's get in the car quickly. It's already noon. According to our route, we have to reach Cangzhou before we can rest today." Nodding, Lin Junyao said softly to Zhou Yun.

　　After the carriages were assigned, Lin Junyao, Zhou Xue, Zhou Yun and Xiao Mu immediately got on their own carriages, and some warriors arranged by the Lin family also got into the two carriages at the back. The back door of the mansion opened, and the accompanying horse guards went out first. Then, four carriages slowly drove out under the heavy protection of the Lin family guards and left Shangjing City.

　　In the carriage, Zhou Yun and Xiao Mu sat opposite each other. The space in the carriage was very large. Not to mention two people, even five or six people could still stay comfortably in the carriage.

　　Zhou Yun was not worried about anything during the time he was out of the city, because he knew that even if someone wanted to attack him, they would not choose this time. The most likely thing would be to attack him after he left Heyang City.

　　Therefore, this period of time is a rare period of time during which Zhou Yun can practice with peace of mind.

　　"Xiao Mu, let's divide the space in the carriage. I'll sit in the back and you sit in the front. I need to concentrate on my practice during this period of time." After making the decision, Zhou Yun immediately spoke to Xiao Mu in front of him.

　　"Well, Brother Zhou Yun, you can practice with peace of mind. I also want to practice. The set of secret books you gave me is very interesting." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Xiao Mu showed a sweet smile on her face and spoke obediently.

　　In just a few days, Xiao Mu has changed a lot compared to before. She seems more transparent, prettier and cuter.

　　It seems that this is the consequence of practicing the secret book given to her by the Hydra Demon.

　　The battle in the Chaos Crystal this morning made Zhou Yun truly experience the power of the Hydra Demon. It also made Zhou Yun look forward to how Xiao Mu would grow under the careful guidance of the Hydra Demon.

　　After being distracted for a moment, Zhou Yun smiled, "Okay, then we will practice separately."

　　As he spoke, Zhou Yun hung a curtain in the middle of the carriage. Suddenly, the carriage was divided into two parts, front and back. Zhou Yun and Xiao Mu both had a space to practice in peace.

　　In front of the carriage, Xiao Mu had already started practicing. Although there was a curtain between them, Zhou Yun could still feel that Xiao Mu had fallen into a state of tranquility.

　　After confirming Xiao Mu's condition, Zhou Yun took a deep breath and took out the three acupuncture points maps copied from the Hydra Demon.

　　Zhou Yun already had a general understanding of these three acupoint diagrams when he was copying them.

　　The Hydra Demon had explained to him that when a warrior reaches the pinnacle of Martial Saint status, he can feel spiritual power and begin to absorb it. When the spiritual power reaches a certain level, it can impact the spiritual points.

　　When the first spiritual point is opened, the warrior officially enters the realm stage.

　　Relying on the acupoint map to open up the heavenly spiritual meridian is considered to be entering the realm of master. However, although Zhou Yun has opened up the heavenly spiritual meridian now, he did not open it by relying on the acupoint map. Such a heavenly spiritual meridian is open, but it does not have a strong power.

　　There are one thousand and eighty major spiritual points in the Tianling Vein, among which there are tens of thousands of combinations. Each point-map combination can combine into different abilities. What Zhou Yun has to do now is to rely on a set of point-maps to open up a real Tianling Vein.

　　"Now, which acupuncture point map should I choose?" Sitting in the car, Zhou Yun looked at the three pictures in front of him, frowned, and slowly fell into deep thought.

　　Chapter 224 Dragon Cloud

　　There are three types of acupuncture points that the Hydra gave Zhou Yun. They are the Yunlong map that requires opening up 64 spiritual points, the Anhe map that requires opening up 28 spiritual points, and the Lijian map that requires opening up 9 spiritual points...

　　Among these three acupoint pictures, there is a spiritual acupoint that Zhou Yun has already opened, and that is the Chongling acupoint on the fingertips of Zhou Yun’s right hand.

　　The Yunlongtu has the most spirit caves that need to be impacted and has the greatest power. It opens sixty-four spirit caves and connects a dragon-shaped spirit cave chain in the Tianlingmai. After opening one cave-diagram, Zhou Yun's strength will be greatly increased. Combined with the Eight Styles of the Heavenly Dragon brought by the Yunlongtu, Zhou Yun's combat effectiveness will reach a great level.

　　The Anhetu has twenty-eight spirit points spread throughout the body, and the distance between the spirit points is much farther than that of the Yunlongtu. The Anhetu does not have much attack power, but it mainly improves the warrior's body repair speed and spiritual power growth speed through the guidance of these spirit points.

　　The sharp blade diagram with the least acupoints opened has the most concentrated locations of spiritual points, with all nine acupoints on the right hand. After they are opened, Zhou Yun's right hand will become indestructible and extremely powerful.

　　Sitting there quietly, Zhou Yun looked at the three acupuncture point diagrams in front of him, thinking constantly in his heart.

　　"There will probably be many tough battles to fight in the future, so it is better to choose the Dragon Cloud Map now." After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Zhou Yun finally decided to open the Dragon Cloud Map.

　　After all, although this map is the most difficult to open, its combat power is the strongest. What Zhou Yun lacks most now is high-end combat power!

　　Thinking of this, Zhou Yun immediately held his breath and concentrated, sending a trace of his thoughts into the crystal space, allowing his main body and the condensed body to simultaneously pose with five hearts facing the sky.

　　"The first spiritual point in this dragon cloud map is Chong Ling Point. Now, Chong Ling Point has been opened. The next ones are Yin Ling Point, Chen Ling Point, Jiu Qu Point, and Han Gong Point. They will be opened in order." Looking at the acupuncture points on the dragon cloud map in front of him, Zhou Yun muttered to himself and made preparations.

　　Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yun mobilized the spiritual power in his body's spiritual veins bit by bit.

　　Based on his previous experience of opening up the Chongling acupoint, Zhou Yun slowly mobilized the spiritual power in his body and began to flow little by little in the Tianling vein.

　　When the spiritual power in the Heavenly Spiritual Vein flowed smoothly, Zhou Yun's expression suddenly froze, and the spiritual power in the Heavenly Spiritual Vein immediately rushed towards the Spirit Guiding Point above the Spiritual Point.

　　boom!

　　The powerful spiritual power hit the acupuncture point, and Zhou Yun's inner world immediately made a roar, and the spirit-guiding acupoint was immediately completely opened up by Zhou Yun.

　　After the Soul Guiding Point was opened, a portion of the inherent spiritual power in the Heavenly Spirit Vein immediately separated and entered the Soul Guiding Point, and gradually hid itself down. Feeling the changes in the spiritual power stored in the Soul Guiding Point, Zhou Yun immediately understood why the Hydra Demon said that the spiritual points became more and more difficult to open as they reached the back.

　　After each spiritual acupoint is opened, a certain amount of spiritual power must be stored. This is equivalent to the fact that every time Zhou Yun opens a spiritual acupoint, his own spiritual power will be lost to a certain extent. Although these spiritual powers still remain in the body and are of great benefit to Zhou Yun, it is always a loss if they cannot be used to impact other spiritual acupoints.

　　"In fact, it is not that difficult to open the spiritual points. The difficulty lies in that the further back you go, the less spiritual power there is in the heavenly spiritual veins. This is the biggest problem." Sitting there, Zhou Yun thought silently in his heart.

　　Although Zhou Yun can now absorb spiritual power, the speed at which his spiritual power grows is not very fast. After the existing spiritual power in his body is used up, Zhou Yun can only practice slowly. He can only try to impact new spiritual points after he has more spiritual power.

　　"I'll try my best this time, and I'll see how many I can open up." Knowing that the current problems can only be solved through practice, Zhou Yun no longer hesitated and continued to attack the remaining spiritual points in the Dragon Cloud Map.

　　According to the records on the Longyun map, Zhou Yun began to attack one after another. As more and more spirit caves were opened, the range of Zhou Yun's spiritual control also quietly became larger and larger.

　　On the road outside the capital, Zhou Yun was practicing silently and impacting the spirit cave. At this time, in a dense forest outside the capital, a group of mysterious people also gathered quietly here.

　　Each of these people has an ordinary appearance and is not noticeable in the crowd. However, if you feel carefully, you will find that these people are extremely powerful, and many of them have reached the peak level of Martial Saint.

　　"Okay, we have confirmed the news. Zhou Yun, her sister Zhou Xue, and Lin Junyao have already left the capital. Our mission is to completely wipe them out at nightfall. This is the roadmap given to us by the insider. Zhou Yun and the others will act according to this roadmap." Among the crowd, a warrior with a horrifying scar on his face was obviously the leader. He gathered everyone together, and the scarred warrior spoke gloomily.

　　After careful sensing, it was discovered that this scarred warrior had actually reached a level of cultivation that surpassed the peak of Martial Saint!

　　"Hehe, Xie Long, your master is quite good. He actually managed to get the route map of Zhou Yun and others heading to Heyang. It seems that you have already extended your tentacles to the Mansion of the Duke of Pingnan. It's really not simple." After hearing the words of the scarred warrior, another warrior wearing a black hat immediately laughed sinisterly.

　　It is not difficult to find out from feeling the relationship between these warriors that these people are not close to each other. Instead, there is a sense of mutual vigilance.

　　These people maintained a relatively safe distance from each other and would not get too close to each other without any concern.

　　"Zhou Changan, you don't need to ask these questions. You also know that I won't tell you. This time, the fifteen royal families have joined forces to kill Zhou Yun. The masters of each family have issued a death order. If the mission is not completed, there will be consequences. I believe you also know. Therefore, this time we must work together." Looking coldly at the black-hatted warrior, the scarred face spoke gloomily.

　　As Scarface finished his words, everyone's faces showed a solemn look.

　　These people were all the dignitaries in the capital whose sons were killed by Zhou Yun in the Shenwei training camp. After Lin Hailong came out of seclusion, not only did he not give them any explanation, but he also arrogantly told them that if they wanted revenge, they could do it by their own means. Naturally, such words angered those dignitaries in the capital who lived a life of luxury.

　　This time, fifteen princes and nobles in the capital simultaneously sent out powerful warriors from their mansions in order to kill Zhou Yun!

　　Although these people are all warriors supported by the kings and princes of the capital, they do not get along well with each other. There is definitely a gap between them. If they want to accomplish anything this time, they must work together. That's why the scarred man said what he said just now.

　　Sure enough, after hearing Scarface's words, all the warriors around showed solemn and serious expressions on their faces.

　　Seeing that his words had taken effect, Scarface immediately nodded with satisfaction.

　　"Lin Junyao will also follow us to Heyang this time. My master has said that although Lin Junyao is of noble status, Lin Hailong will not give face to us princes, so we will not give him face either. Lin Junyao, you will die just the same this time." A sharp color flashed in his eyes, and the scarred man spoke fiercely.

　　After hearing Scarface's words, the black-hat warrior Zhou Changan hesitated and said, "This may not be easy. The Lin family has a strong foundation. This time, Lin Junyao came with her. It is impossible that she is not protected. Maybe the person protecting Lin Junyao has a higher cultivation level than Zhou Yun. We still need to discuss how to proceed with this operation."

　　Among the crowd, Scarface has the highest level of cultivation, having surpassed the peak of Martial Saint. Zhou Changan's cultivation has also surpassed the peak of Martial Saint. Although not as good as Scarface's, it is not much different.

　　Everyone works under the princes in the capital, and they have some understanding of each other's power.

　　After hearing Zhou Changan's words, everyone focused their attention on the two of them.

　　Whether this operation can succeed depends on these two people.

　　The scar-faced man and Zhou Chang'an looked at each other, and their opinions were quickly exchanged.

　　“How about this, I will take six people to kill Zhou Yun, Xie Long will take the other seven people to guard, and if any powerful warriors appear from the Lin family, then Xie Long, you will have to take your people to stop them. Our first goal is still to kill Zhou Yun. If we can kill Zhou Yun, it doesn’t matter even if Lin Junyao cannot be killed in the end. Of course, if we can kill her, that would be great. However, I heard that Lin Junyao is both top-notch in appearance and talent. If we can do something else before killing her, it would be even better, hehe.” Looking around at everyone, Zhou Changan pinched his chin and laughed out loud.

　　Glancing at Zhou Changan calmly and ignoring his strange words, Scarface spoke up, "Okay, let's do this. We will split into two groups. One group will follow Zhou Changan to deal with Zhou Yun, and the other group will follow me to deal with emergencies! But I must make it clear in advance that all of us must advance and retreat together, and everyone must do their best. This time, we can only succeed, not fail!"

　　"We can only succeed, not fail!" All the warriors nodded in unison and spoke with concentration.

　　Seeing everyone's reactions, Scarface nodded with satisfaction.

　　"Let's go!" He gave the order suddenly. At the sound of the order, all the warriors immediately dispersed from the woods and chased towards the location where Zhou Yun and others were.

　　On the official road outside the capital, Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao's convoy had been traveling for four hours. At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and there was still one hour left before they arrived at the resting place scheduled for today.

　　In the carriage, Zhou Yun, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly exhaled a breath and opened his eyes.

　　In four hours, Zhou Yun had opened fifty-one of the spiritual caves on the Dragon Cloud Map, and there were still thirteen spiritual caves left to open the entire map.

　　But now, the spiritual power in Zhou Yuntian’s spiritual veins has been almost consumed. Every time a spiritual cave is opened, a part of the spiritual power in the spiritual veins will be stored in the spiritual cave.

　　The further he went, the harder it became for Zhou Yun to open the spirit caves. After opening fifty-one, Zhou Yun could no longer continue.

　　"There is no other way. I can only practice slowly and accumulate more spiritual power." Zhou Yun had already thought of such a result before. The Hydra Demon had also reminded him of it when he gave him the three acupoint maps.

　　But Zhou Yun chose the Dragon Cloud Map himself, so he can only bear the consequences himself.

　　"It's time to go see Jun Yao. If we leave her there alone, she'll probably feel aggrieved." The training had come to an end, and Zhou Yun stood up from the carriage.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's carriage in front, Zhou Yun smiled slightly and slowly followed.

　　Chapter 225 Sneak Attacker

　　The carriage had been moving smoothly along the official road. All the warriors in the convoy knew Zhou Yun. When they saw Zhou Yun catching up, the guards in the carriage in front did not show any special reaction and directly let Zhou Yun get on the carriage...

　　Zhou Yun opened the door and jumped up lightly. Suddenly, the pure and beautiful scene inside the carriage came into Zhou Yun's sight.

　　The carriage that Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue were riding in was much more exquisite than the one Zhou Yun was riding in. There were no divided areas in the carriage. A blanket of extremely fine quality was placed on the backrest. Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue were snuggling together, sleeping soundly under the thin blanket.

　　As soon as he entered the carriage, Zhou Yun immediately saw Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue sleeping.

　　There was a peaceful smile on Zhou Xue's face. It was obvious that she was in a particularly good mood as she was about to return to Heyang and see Li Yi.

　　Lin Junyao on the side pouted slightly, as if she was still feeling aggrieved that Zhou Yun did not ride in the same carriage with her.

　　Looking at Lin Junyao's cute little pouting mouth, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. He leaned over and pecked Lin Junyao's rosy lips gently.

　　"Woo..." Lin Junyao woke up immediately after being attacked in her sleep. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Yun's face close to her. Knowing that it was Zhou Yun who was kissing her, Lin Junyao immediately became shy.

　　"Zhou Yun, don't, my sister is still next to you." In the carriage, Zhou Xue was still leaning against her. Feeling Zhou Yun's movements, Lin Junyao immediately spoke shyly.

　　Seeing Lin Junyao's pretty face flushed, Zhou Yun no longer made things difficult for her. He leaned aside and raised his hand to hug Lin Junyao.

　　This time, although Lin Junyao got out of the small blanket, she didn't feel cold leaning in Zhou Yun's arms.

　　Feeling Zhou Yun gently caressing her hair with love, Lin Junyao's grievances were immediately resolved. In fact, she was not a willful girl.

　　"Zhou Yun, have you finished your training?" Leaning in Zhou Yun's arms, Lin Junyao asked obediently.

　　"Well, the training has come to an end and will continue tonight, but I can accompany you during the period before reaching the destination." Zhou Yun said, smelling the sweet scent on Lin Junyao's body.

　　Zhou Yun felt somewhat guilty towards Lin Junyao, so he could only try to spend more time with her as compensation.

　　"Well, let's not talk anymore. My sister is still resting. Just hug me." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao nodded slightly, changed to a more comfortable posture and continued to lean in Zhou Yun's arms.

　　In fact, they no longer need too much language to maintain their relationship. As long as they stay together quietly, Lin Junyao is already very satisfied.

　　Smiling and nodding, Zhou Yun took out another small blanket from the space ring and covered Lin Junyao with it, then tightened his arms so that the girl in his arms could lean more comfortably.

　　The carriage moved forward steadily, and Lin Junyao, leaning in Zhou Yun's arms, soon fell asleep again.

　　Holding Lin Junyao in his arms, Zhou Yun did not make any other movements. However, in the crystal space, Zhou Yun's condensed body was still practicing non-stop.

　　Now, for Zhou Yun, time means everything. As long as there is a little time that can be used for cultivation, Zhou Yun will never let it go.

　　In the boundary crystal space, Zhou Yun's condensed body was sitting there, coordinating with the method of sound and thunder cloud, posing the posture of Wanxiang Thunder Post. The true power in his body was growing rapidly, and along with the growth of true power, the spiritual power in his heavenly spiritual veins was also growing steadily.

　　Although the speed of absorbing spiritual power is not as fast as that of true power, at this speed, Zhou Yun only needs fifteen days to restore his previous spiritual power strength. This time is not long. Before reaching the South China Sea, Zhou Yun will definitely be able to open up the remaining spiritual points in the Yunlong Map and make the Yunlong Map truly his ultimate move.

　　"After opening the Cloud Dragon Diagram, the next thing to do is to open the Peace and Harmony Diagram. Once the Peace and Harmony Diagram is opened, my spiritual power will grow faster. At that time, I just need to keep collecting it to make myself stronger and stronger. Moreover, after these two things are done, it is time to take a look at the things in the fifth level of the Myriad Things Thunder Fist. I am really looking forward to it."

　　Sitting there, Zhou Yun held Lin Junyao in his arms and recited silently.

　　Leaning against Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao was already sleeping soundly. Zhou Yun's quiet mumbling did not wake her up. Instead, Zhou Xue was awakened by Zhou Yun's silent recitation.

　　As soon as she woke up, Zhou Xue found that Lin Junyao was gone. Shocked, she quickly sat up and saw that Zhou Yun had already come into the carriage, and Lin Junyao was sleeping obediently in Zhou Yun's arms.

　　Smiling at Zhou Xue, Zhou Yun made a gesture and nodded in understanding. Zhou Xue did not say anything either.

　　Everything in the carriage was quiet, and the convoy was moving forward little by little. At this time, it had entered the territory of Cangzhou. In half an hour, the team should be able to reach the post station where they would rest today.

　　Holding Lin Junyao in his arms, Zhou Yun also closed his eyes and rested to recover his energy.

　　Suddenly, a strange movement came from afar. Feeling this strange movement, Zhou Yun suddenly opened his eyes.

　　"Xiao Yun, what's wrong?" Feeling the sudden change in Zhou Yun's aura, Zhou Xue's face suddenly became solemn.

　　"Someone is attacking us by surprise." Although he was in a hurry, Zhou Yun's spiritual perception was still kept open. This was to ensure that the journey would be foolproof. Although Zhou Yun did not fully spread his spiritual perception, he could still feel all changes within a five-mile radius.

　　Just now, a team of powerful warriors had entered Zhou Yun's sensing range from a distance.

　　This team of warriors is extremely powerful. There are actually two warriors who have surpassed the peak of Martial Saint, and some others have also reached the peak of Martial Saint, and the worst is only in the middle stage of Martial Saint.

　　Such a force would be considered a destructive force wherever it is in the Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　"Xiao Yun, be careful!" After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Zhou Xue did not panic. Although she had no cultivation at all, Zhou Xue knew that if she appeared to be very panicked at this time, it would inevitably affect Zhou Yun's mood.

　　Seeing his sister's serious but not panicked look, Zhou Yun's mind quickly calmed down. In fact, these people were not a big threat to Zhou Yun, but Zhou Xue, Lin Junyao and Xiao Muyue would become Zhou Yun's weaknesses.

　　If so many powerful people wanted to harm Lin Junyao and others, Zhou Yun would probably find it difficult to stop them.

　　"Jun Yao." Lifting the small blanket covering his body, Zhou Yun helped Lin Jun Yao up from his arms.

　　"Zhou Yun, what's wrong?" Lin Junyao asked in confusion after being awakened by Zhou Yun's voice.

　　Holding Lin Junyao's shoulders, Zhou Yun said in a deep voice, "Junyao, someone is here to attack us. They are very powerful and there are many of them. You and your sister should stay in the carriage. Don't move around. No matter what happens, don't get off the carriage."

　　Seeing Zhou Yun's serious look, Lin Junyao nodded instinctively.

　　"I'll bring little Mu Yue here too. Sister, you have to take good care of them." Lin Junyao had also woken up, so Zhou Yun did not stay any longer. Although he felt that the warriors chasing them had just entered the range of five miles, for strong men of this level, five miles was actually a very short distance, and those warriors were now chasing them at full speed.

　　"Xiao Yun, be careful." Zhou Xue responded calmly, nodding vigorously.

　　"Well, don't worry." Zhou Yun responded, turned around and got off the carriage, and quickly returned to the second carriage. After opening the door, Zhou Yun immediately carried the awakened little Mu Yue out.

　　"Brother Zhou Yun, someone is attacking us." Little Mu Yue spoke softly with a pair of bright eyes looking at Zhou Yun. It was obvious that she had also sensed the dangerous aura.

　　Little Mu Yue was not an ordinary person to begin with. After obtaining the secret book from the Hydra Demon, her strength grew rapidly. Zhou Yun was not surprised that she could feel this change.

　　"Well, go over now and stay with Sister Xue and Sister Jun Yao. Don't get off the car casually." Zhou Yun smiled at Xiao Mu Yue and spoke while running quickly.

　　Nodding obediently, Xiao Muyue said, "Brother Zhou Yun, go and beat the bad guys without worry. Xiao Mu will protect the two sisters."

　　Looking at little Mu Yue's childish appearance, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel relaxed.

　　Quickly returning to the first carriage, Zhou Yun also sent little Mu Yue into the carriage.

　　"Zhou Yun, don't be anxious. There are people at home who protect me. Just take care of yourself and don't worry about my situation here." Holding Zhou Yun's hand, Lin Junyao quickly gave instructions.

　　Although she had no cultivation and had not sensed any signs of a sneak attack until now, Lin Junyao knew that the Lin family had sent very powerful warriors to protect her when she went to Heyang this time. Lin Junyao had always believed in the power of the Lin family, so she instructed Zhou Yun like this.

　　What Lin Junyao was most worried about was that Zhou Yun would be distracted because of her.

　　"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself." Zhou Yun said solemnly with a smile at Lin Junyao.

　　After leaving these words, Zhou Yun stepped out of the carriage and helped Lin Junyao close the door.

　　Zhou Yun quickly returned to the second carriage, held his breath, sat cross-legged on the carriage, and began to quietly gather his strength.

　　Zhou Yun had also felt it just now. There were also several powerful forces in the carriage that sensed the threat from afar and began to move stealthily.

　　In the convoy, in addition to himself, the Lin family also arranged for a warrior who surpassed the peak of Martial Saint to come along. In addition, there were two warriors at the peak of Martial Saint.

　　With these three people, it should not be a problem to protect the carriage that Lin Junyao and others are riding in. After feeling these forces, Zhou Yun's heart calmed down.

　　Before, Zhou Yun had never thought that the Lin family would have such a powerful force. It seems that it is not unreasonable that the Lin family has become the largest aristocratic family in the capital.

　　Feeling more confident, Zhou Yun sat in the carriage and waited quietly. In the veins of his body, waves of lightning power began to gather rapidly.

　　However, the power of thunder and lightning did not expand outwards, but was all blocked by the purple light shield on Zhou Yun's body. Within the purple light shield, Zhou Yun's power had been accumulated extremely strongly. I believe that when those sneak attackers pounced out, Zhou Yun would give them a huge surprise.

　　Chapter 226 An Unforgettable Scene

　　Although they had noticed a sneak attack, after Zhou Yun quickly arranged for Zhou Xue, Lin Junyao and Xiao Muyue, there were no other unusual movements in the entire convoy...

　　On the official road, the convoy was moving forward slowly and steadily, without any changes.

　　At this time, the convoy had entered the territory of Cangzhou. Although Cangzhou was a plain, there were many low hills, and the official road of Cangzhou Prefecture passed through these hills. At night, everything around seemed quiet and deserted.

　　On a small hill on the side of the official road, in the sparse woods, more than a dozen warriors have gathered there.

　　This group of people was none other than the warriors sent by various noble families in the capital, led by Scarface and Zhou Changan.

　　"They don't seem to have discovered anything yet." Looking at the team below, Zhou Chang'an pinched his chin and smiled evilly.

　　These warriors were very careful as they advanced. At their stage of cultivation, their ability to restrain their Qi and blood was already extremely strong. If they deliberately concealed their aura, they would not be detected.

　　Looking intently at the convoy below, Scarface's eyes remained solemn, because he knew that Zhou Yun was definitely not an easy opponent. Being able to win first place in the Shenwei Training Camp showed that Zhou Yun was definitely not a simple opponent.

　　"Don't be careless. Everything should be carried out according to the arrangement just now. Zhou Changan, you take the men down and kill Zhou Yun directly. I will take the others to deal with emergencies." Looking at the convoy below, Scarface spoke slowly.

　　As soon as the words fell, another warrior spoke up, "There are four carriages below, all of which are exactly the same. Which one is the one Zhou Yun is riding in?"

　　They were hiding their qi and blood, but Zhou Yun below had obviously made the same choice. In this case, it was really difficult for them to know which carriage Zhou Yun was on.

　　With a chuckle, Zhou Changan said, "This is easy. Let's just open up our Qi and blood and rush down. Once the Qi and blood are open, Zhou Yun will definitely be able to sense the movement. We won't be afraid that he won't show up at that time. Rumor has it that Zhou Yun cares a lot about Lin Junyao. Once we show up, I don't believe that Zhou Yun won't show up."

　　Glancing coldly at Zhou Changan, Scarface said calmly, "Zhou Changan, I know what you are thinking, but you'd better think it over carefully. If you really intend to insult Princess Yuyao, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the wrath of the Lin family. Make your own choice."

　　They are all warriors supported by the nobles in the capital. They are very familiar with each other. Scarface is also very clear about Zhou Changan's fault, which is lust.

　　He especially liked to play with the daughters of powerful people, but he never had the chance to touch a woman of such high status as Lin Junyao.

　　Scarface knew that some women were not something that everyone was qualified to think about. If Zhou Changan really dared to touch Lin Junyao, he would probably end up in a very miserable situation.

　　After all, killing and insulting are completely different concepts. As long as Zhou Changan did this, it would be equivalent to really riding on the head of the Lin family.

　　"Hmph, that's nothing big. The worst that can happen is that I can run away and hide my identity. Can Lin Hailong really hunt me down all over the world? After this operation, we are going to be abandoned by everyone. Why not take this opportunity to have some fun?" Zhou Changan snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

　　Having long been guarding the various noble families in the capital, these warriors are very familiar with the dirty tricks among the nobles.

　　Although their action was for revenge, it severely offended the Lin family. If this action succeeded, they would never be able to return to the capital.

　　Their respective masters would not allow them to bring trouble back home.

　　"Okay, let's get down to business first." Knowing that Zhou Changan was telling the truth, Scarface said nothing more. His expression became serious and he spoke harshly.

　　"Let's go!" After hearing Scarface's order, Zhou Changan immediately called out to the people in his team.

　　After uttering the word, Zhou Changan immediately burst out with a powerful momentum and led the other six warriors in the team to rush towards the carriage below.

　　Sitting quietly in the carriage, Zhou Yun's originally closed eyes suddenly opened.

　　"Finally he made a move." A fierce and resolute look flashed across his face, and the purple light shield that Zhou Yun had held up was suddenly removed. Immediately, an incomparably powerful pressure spread out.

　　At this moment, above the carriage that Zhou Yun was riding, rolling thunderclouds suddenly covered the entire sky and earth with pitch black, and the entire world instantly turned into a terrifying dark area of ​​thunder and lightning.

　　This time Zhou Yun used the method of wind, cloud and thunder from the Myriad Things Thunder Fist. As soon as this method was used, the seven warriors who were charging down were enveloped by a powerful pressure and all of them stopped.

　　They never expected Zhou Yun to have such powerful strength. For a moment, the seven warriors were stunned.

　　Looking at each other, these warriors saw a look of retreat in each other's eyes.

　　They were all warriors supported by the noble families in the capital. This was actually just a high-end transaction. When there was no great danger, these warriors could serve the noble families.

　　However, when the opponents they face are too strong, these warriors are not obliged to die in vain.

　　All the warriors, including Zhou Changan, couldn't help but began to retreat slowly.

　　Although the people sitting in the carriage did not appear at all, Zhou Yun could still grasp the movements of all the sneak attacking warriors clearly.

　　"Now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" With a smile on his face, Zhou Yun suddenly broke open the roof of his carriage and immediately rose to a height of 30 meters.

　　High in the sky, a pair of lightning wings behind Zhou Yun were flapping slightly, supporting Zhou Yun to stay in mid-air, and streams of purple electric light were still constantly moving above Zhou Yun's body like spirit snakes, making Zhou Yun look like a god!

　　"Retreat!" Seeing the power brought by Zhou Yun's appearance, Zhou Changan realized in an instant that this killing operation was simply a joke. It was impossible for this group of people to shake Zhou Yun!

　　With a loud shout, Zhou Changan took the lead in retreating to the rear!

　　"Stay!" Zhou Yun said silently without any emotion in his eyes. Suddenly, a powerful lightning force passed through Zhou Yun's body and into the thundercloud in the air.

　　Then, thick bolts of lightning struck down from the sky.

　　Boom boom boom!!!

　　These lightning bolts seemed to be guided, accurately striking all the warriors below.

　　Suddenly, the seven warriors led by Zhou Changan were all enveloped in this powerful thunder and lightning.

　　The strongest among these warriors is Zhou Chang'an. His cultivation has surpassed the peak of Martial Saint. The other warriors, even those who have reached the peak of Martial Saint, cannot hold on for too long under such dense thunder and lightning.

　　Amidst the dense thunder and lightning, screams were heard. Except for Zhou Changan, the other warriors had all died. Only Zhou Changan was still struggling to hold on.

　　"Zhou Yun, I am the guest of honor of Prince Yingwu and the priest of the Marquis of Donghai. How dare you kill me?" Zhou Chang'an could not help but shouting while dodging at full speed in the thunder and lightning.

　　At this point, nothing is more important than saving one's life, and the same goes for Zhou Changan.

　　A trace of disdain flashed across his face, and a gray blade light suddenly condensed on Zhou Yun's right hand. Aiming at Zhou Chang'an's dodging route, Zhou Yun swung his right hand vigorously three times in the air.

　　Suddenly, the powerful sword energy of the three swords was directly stimulated and rushed directly to the three points on the side of Zhou Changan, blocking all of Zhou Changan's escape routes!

　　"Zhou Yun! You will not die well!" The three sword auras were extremely powerful. Feeling the sword aura, Zhou Changan knew that there was absolutely no chance of him escaping this time.

　　Unable to hold back a loud shout, Zhou Changan was hit hard by a bolt of lightning. Suddenly, his entire body turned dark and wilted.

　　By this time, all the warriors who rushed out to attack Zhou Yun had died at his hands.

　　Looking at the corpses on the ground, Zhou Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. He could clearly feel that he was much stronger now than when he entered the palace and was surrounded and killed.

　　The extreme battle with the Hydra Demon stimulated Zhou Yun's potential. Coupled with learning the first, second and fourth levels of the All-Seeing Thunder Fist, Zhou Yun's strength is now far beyond what it was before.

　　Far away, on a mound, Scarface looked at the battle below with a serious expression. Beside him, the remaining warriors were all silent. Although these people had high levels of cultivation, they were also afraid of death.

　　"The intelligence is wrong, let's retreat." With a flash of determination in his eyes, Scarface said this and began to retreat fiercely.

　　After hearing Scarface's words, the other warriors immediately felt as if they had been pardoned, and began to retreat rapidly one by one.

　　Staying in mid-air, Zhou Yun's spiritual perception was still open, so he could naturally grasp the movements of those warriors in the distance clearly.

　　"Do you still want to leave?" The Wanxiang Thunder Prison was completely retracted, and the pair of lightning wings behind Zhou Yun fully spread out. With a "whoosh" sound, Zhou Yun flew out quickly.

　　Looking at the mysterious and majestic wings of lightning behind Zhou Yun, all the warriors in the Lin family convoy below couldn't help but raise their heads, with bursts of admiration in their eyes.

　　In the carriage, Lin Junyao stayed with Zhou Xue and Xiao Muyue, and was still worried about Zhou Yun's situation outside.

　　After the roar of thunder and lightning just now, there was no sound outside. Lin Junyao couldn't help but worry, "Sister, is Zhou Yun okay?"

　　Holding Zhou Xue's hand, Lin Junyao couldn't help but ask.

　　With her brows slightly furrowed, Zhou Xue was also worried about Zhou Yun, but she didn't know what the situation was like outside.

　　"I don't know either. There's no sound outside, so everything should be fine." Zhou Xue looked outside the car with some worry and spoke uncertainly.

　　At this time, Xiao Muyue, who had been sitting next to them, suddenly spoke up, "Sister Junyao, Sister Xue, Brother Zhou Yun is so cool."

　　"What do you mean?" Zhou Xue and Lin Junyao spoke at the same time, stunned by Xiao Muyue's nonsensical words.

　　"Hehe, you'll know when you see it for yourself." With an innocent smile on her face, little Mu Yue reached out and opened the window of the carriage. Before Lin Junyao and Zhou Xue could stop her, the next moment, a scene that they would never forget appeared in their minds.

　　Chapter 227 Returning Home in Glory

　　In the distant sky, Zhou Yun was flying freely in the sky with the support of a pair of lightning wings. In the rapid flight, the blue light and gray sword energy on Zhou Yun's body kept flashing, and some warriors dressed in various colors below kept falling under Zhou Yun's attack...

　　At first, Zhou Yun was worried about being surrounded and attacked by these people, but after actual contact, Zhou Yun found that his strength was far stronger than these people.

　　After discovering this, Zhou Yun naturally would not hold back.

　　In fact, although Zhou Yun understood the various stages of cultivation above the peak of Martial Saint, he did not know much about the combat effectiveness of each stage.

　　How strong is a warrior at the realm master stage? What about the realm master? Zhou Yun's mind was not clear about these things.

　　But after today's battle, Zhou Yun understood that a warrior who had surpassed the peak of Martial Saint but had not reached the Realm Master stage had almost no chance of winning against him.

　　The Hydra Demon had told him before that the Chaos Crystal had completely changed Zhou Yun's physique, his meridians had expanded, and his strength had been greatly improved.

　　It can be said that the true power Zhou Yun needs to reach the peak of Martial Saint is six or seven times that of an ordinary warrior. This directly results in Zhou Yun's strength being much stronger than other warriors.

　　Just like the battle today, Zhou Yun did not use the power of his Heavenly Spiritual Vein at all, but still defeated those sneak attacking warriors.

　　Boom!

　　As Zhou Yun released a powerful bolt of lightning, the last sneak attacker below was blasted into pieces by Zhou Yun. After doing all this, Zhou Yun carefully sensed and found that there were no other hidden warriors around who could threaten him.

　　After finishing the inspection, Zhou Yun slightly retracted the range of his spiritual power perception and then turned around in the air.

　　Turning around, Zhou Yun immediately saw a light pink figure standing next to the convoy in the distance, looking at him eagerly.

　　The figure was Lin Junyao. At this moment, there was a blush on Lin Junyao's pretty face, her eyes were full of love, and she was smiling slightly.

　　call!

　　Seeing that Jun Yao had already gotten off the car, Zhou Yun immediately flapped his wings and dived down, arriving in front of Lin Jun Yao.

　　"Jun Yao, why did you come out?" Zhou Yun walked over, held Lin Jun Yao's shoulders, and asked with concern.

　　A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Zhou Yun quietly. Lin Junyao held Zhou Yun's hand on her shoulder and said expectantly, "Zhou Yun, I want to fly too. I want to see the sky, too."

　　Seeing Lin Junyao's expectant look, Zhou Yun also showed a smile on his face.

　　Lin Junyao has always been a well-behaved girl and would not do anything out of line. However, after watching Zhou Yun flying freely in the sky just now, Lin Junyao couldn't help but look forward to it and made such a request.

　　Pulling Lin Junyao over and letting her lean against his chest, Zhou Yun said to the people around him, "You guys keep going forward. I'll take Junyao to the post station first and wait for you there."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, the warriors of the Lin family nodded respectfully, reorganized their carriages and horses, and continued to move forward along the official road.

　　The convoy was moving forward in an orderly manner. Zhou Yun smiled at Lin Junyao in his arms, then hugged her slender waist tightly. He jumped up with all his strength, and the wings of lightning on his back spread out. Zhou Yun had already rushed into the sky with Lin Junyao.

　　"Ah! Zhou Yun, are we going to fall down?" After rising to a high altitude, Lin Junyao could not help but close her eyes and screamed in surprise.

　　"It's okay, I'm holding you, there will be no problem. Come, open your eyes and take a look." Holding Lin Junyao's soft body, Zhou Yun felt happy and couldn't help but speak.

　　With Zhou Yun's encouragement, Lin Junyao finally opened her eyes. At this time, the two had risen to a height of three or four hundred meters. Not only could they see everything below clearly, but at such a height, it seemed that the stars in the sky were closer to them.

　　Leaning in Zhou Yun's warm embrace and looking at the vast world below, Lin Junyao's heart suddenly softened.

　　While recuperating, Lin Junyao rubbed her cheek against Zhou Yun's and murmured, "Zhou Yun, I feel so happy."

　　Looking at Lin Junyao who was already somewhat emotional, Zhou Yun also felt a surge of happiness in his heart, "Junyao, me too."

　　After giving Lin Junyao a light kiss on the side of her face, Zhou Yun said, "Hold my hand tightly. I want to take you to Cangzhou first. Let my sister and the others walk slowly down below."

　　"Okay!" After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao immediately laughed like a silver bell.

　　"Let's go!" With a loud shout, Zhou Yun spread out the wings of lightning behind him, and immediately flew rapidly with Lin Junyao, flying quickly towards Cangzhou in the night sky.

　　The Lin family's convoy below was still moving forward. In the third carriage, an old man was sitting quietly. Listening to Lin Junyao's happy smile, he couldn't help but smile.

　　"This Zhou Yun is truly a dragon among men!"

　　Flying high in the sky with Lin Junyao, the two of them were naturally very fast. It only took them an incense stick of time at the end of the month to arrive at the post station in Cangzhou.

　　This was the case when Zhou Yun took Lin Junyao to stop from time to time to appreciate the scenery below. If not, Zhou Yun would only need a few moments to complete this journey.

　　Arriving at the post station, Zhou Yun immediately took Lin Junyao down. This time, the Lin family had already arranged everything for the journey to Heyang. After arriving at the post station, Zhou Yun took Lin Junyao directly to her room.

　　After a day of running around, although Lin Junyao slept for a while in the car, she still felt a little tired after the sudden tension and relaxation.

　　After changing into a light morning shawl and washing up, Lin Junyao leaned on the bed in the room, ready to rest.

　　Sitting beside the bed, Zhou Yun held Lin Junyao's hand and said softly, "Junyao, you should have a good rest at night. I'm going to practice."

　　After today's battle, Zhou Yun has determined how powerful he is, but in his opinion, this strength is not enough. The most urgent task now is to open the Dragon Cloud Map in the Tianling Vein. As long as the Dragon Cloud Map is opened, relying on the power of the Dragon Cloud Eight Styles, Zhou Yun's combat power will definitely be able to reach a higher level.

　　Moreover, after his sister's wedding in Heyang, Zhou Yun also planned to go to the Shadow Blade Sect's transmission tower once again to learn all the remaining secrets at once.

　　From now on, the various acupoint maps in the Tianling Vein, the Wanxiang Thunder Fist, and the secret techniques of the Shadow Knife Sect, these are Zhou Yun’s three most powerful weapons!

　　Seeing Zhou Yun was about to leave again, Lin Junyao, who had just experienced a happy flight with Zhou Yun, had a trace of reluctance on her face. She held Zhou Yun's hand and said softly, "Zhou Yun, don't leave, okay? Stay here with me, and you can practice by my bed after I fall asleep, okay?"

　　The two had had such an experience before at the Lin family mansion. Zhou Yun had been with her here all the time, and he would start practicing only after she fell asleep. In the morning, she could also see Zhou Yun when she just woke up.

　　How could Zhou Yun refuse Lin Junyao's request?

　　Zhou Yun gently stroked Lin Junyao's tender little face and said, "Okay, you can rest assured. I will stay here with you today and won't go anywhere else."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao immediately showed a relaxed and relieved smile. She snuggled up to Zhou Yun quietly for a moment, and then Lin Junyao gently closed her eyes.

　　After Lin Junyao fell asleep, Zhou Yun also felt that the Lin family's convoy had safely entered the post station.

　　Although there were some twists and turns on the first day, we still arrived at our destination safely.

　　Zhou Yun helped Lin Junyao pull up the curtain, and then he sat down beside Lin Junyao's bed, cross-legged, and sent a trace of his thoughts into the crystal space. His main body and the condensed body began to practice at the same time.

　　After the sneak attack on the first day leaving Beijing, the entire convoy progressed very smoothly for the following period of time and did not encounter any danger again.

　　Under Zhou Yun's instructions, the entire convoy sped up its pace. The journey that originally took seven or eight days to complete was completed in just five days.

　　On the evening of the fifth day, the Lin family's convoy had arrived in Heyang City.

　　After more than ten months, Zhou Yun returned to Heyang again, his heart full of emotion.

　　Sitting in the carriage with Lin Junyao, Zhou Xue and Xiao Mu, Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh at the familiar scenery outside through the window.

　　Beside Zhou Yun, Zhou Xue's eyes also had a hint of redness. Zhou Yun knew that his sister missed Heyang more than he did.

　　"Sister, don't worry. Li Yi has already received the news. I'm afraid he is waiting for you at the street corner right now." Looking at Zhou Xue who was a little restless, Zhou Yun couldn't help but tease her.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Zhou Xue's face couldn't help but blush.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun actually speaking like this, Lin Junyao on the side couldn't help but pinch Zhou Yun lightly. During these days, Zhou Yun stayed with her every night and would practice on his own after she fell asleep.

　　During the day, Zhou Yun would always come to talk to her in between practice, which made Lin Junyao feel very peaceful and happy, and she didn't even care about the hardship of the journey.

　　The Lin family's convoy was quite impressive. After all, it was the convoy of the Duke's family. The powerful warriors guarding the convoy, coupled with the luxury of the carriages and horses, immediately brought a great shock to the people of Heyang City!

　　Soon, after turning a corner, the convoy arrived at the street where the Li family mansion was located. At the corner, a team of strict guards had already been waiting there.

　　Those guards were all from the Li family in Heyang City, and the one standing in the front was Li Yi.

　　Seeing Li Yi standing there from afar, Zhou Xue almost wanted to get off the car first, but her action was stopped by Zhou Yun.

　　"Sister, let's talk about it after we enter the mansion. It's not appropriate now." Holding Zhou Xue's hand, Zhou Yun smiled.

　　At this time, many people had gathered on the streets of Heyang City, and everyone was discussing the identity of the person in the carriage. If my sister went down and hugged Li Yi at this time, it would be detrimental to her reputation.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Zhou Xue forced herself to suppress the throbbing in her heart and nodded hard.

　　With a slight smile, Zhou Yun stood up, opened the car door and jumped out.

　　"Zhou Yun!" Li Yi couldn't help but shouting when he saw Zhou Yun jumping off the carriage. He hadn't seen Zhou Yun for a long time. When he saw Zhou Yun, Li Yi, the future brother-in-law, was naturally very excited.

　　"My sister is in there. Let's talk about it when we get back." Zhou Yun smiled at Li Yi and hit him hard on the chest, then spoke with relief.

　　When Zhou Yun returned to Heyang this time, he finally felt like he was returning home in glory.

　　At this time, the people watching nearby finally saw Zhou Yun's face clearly, and suddenly, bursts of cheers were heard throughout the street.

　　"Zhou Yun! Zhou Yun is back!"

　　"I heard that he won first place in the Shenwei training camp!"

　　"And now he's a general!"

　　"Zhou Yun is truly the pride of our Heyang City!"

　　"Zhou Yun! Zhou Yun!"

　　Accompanied by the excited shouts of the people in Heyang City, Zhou Yun clasped his fists to the people around him, then followed Li Yi and walked towards the Li family mansion.

　　Chapter 228 Wedding Date

　　Although she did not get off the carriage, Lin Junyao could still hear the cheers of the people outside. Hearing how excitedly the people of Heyang City cheered Zhou Yun's name, Lin Junyao's face also showed a hint of pride...

　　"Sister Xue, why do they all welcome Zhou Yun so much?" Although she was proud, Lin Junyao still wanted to know why Zhou Yun had such a high status in Heyang City.

　　After hearing Lin Junyao's question, Zhou Xue smiled slightly, with a look of satisfaction on her face, and slowly said, "Junyao, Xiaoyun is the only person in Heyang City who has passed the martial arts examination as a civilian in the past ten years, and he also won the first place for the first time. This has greatly encouraged all the civilian children here."

　　"Moreover, Xiaoyun has achieved such great results in the capital this time. This is the pride of Heyang City. This is also unprecedented in Heyang City. With Xiaoyun's achievements, Heyang City will also benefit from it."

　　After Zhou Xue finished speaking, Lin Junyao gradually understood.

　　Although she herself had never been in contact with the bottom of society, she was still very familiar with the aristocratic structure of the Tianyuan Dynasty. In the Tianyuan Dynasty, although the conflict between nobles and common people was not so sharp, it was also very profound.

　　If common people want to stand out and change their lives, they can only take the imperial examination or the military examination. However, the military examination is still a better choice. After all, the imperial examination can only improve one's status, but it cannot bring a hereditary title.

　　However, for ordinary people who want to practice martial arts, secret manuals, and rare treasures are bottlenecks that limit their development. It is very difficult for one person to break out.

　　Zhou Yun can be considered a pioneer. More importantly, Heyang City has probably never produced a person like Zhou Yun.

　　Ranking first in the Shenwei Training Camp and becoming a general at the age of less than seventeen, this is almost a miraculous achievement in the Tianyuan Dynasty.

　　Thinking about this, Lin Junyao gradually understood why Zhou Yun had such a reputation in Heyang. Thinking about what Zhou Yun had done, Lin Junyao's heart softened, and her love for Zhou Yun became stronger.

　　At this time, the Lin family's convoy had arrived at the gate of Li Mansion in Heyang City.

　　Zhou Yun has returned as the number one in the Shenwei training camp and he is also a general. Naturally, the Li family will give him the highest standard of reception.

　　The old man of the Li family had already been waiting at the door, greeting them respectfully.

　　"Sister, Junyao, Xiaomu, come down." After walking with Li Yi to the gate of the Li family mansion, Zhou Yun stopped, turned around and spoke to the carriage that Lin Junyao and others were riding in.

　　Although he had seen the old man of the Li family waiting there, he was not in a hurry to say hello. In his opinion, it would be better to ask Lin Junyao and others to get out of the car first and then go and say hello together.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's call, Lin Junyao, Zhou Xue and Xiao Mu all got off the carriage.

　　Holding Lin Junyao's hand, Zhou Yun walked towards the main gate of the Li family mansion with Zhou Xue and Xiao Muyue.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun coming over, the old man of the Li family hurriedly came down the steps to greet him.

　　"Mr. Li, this is my fiancée, Princess Yuyao, the daughter of the Duke of Pingnan in the capital." According to their status, Zhou Yun was the first to introduce Lin Junyao.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's introduction, Mr. Li's face immediately showed an expression of trepidation, and he bowed to Lin Junyao repeatedly, "Greetings, Princess. The Li family is not terrified to have you here, and it is an honor for our humble family."

　　With a faint smile on her face, Lin Junyao bowed slightly and said softly, "Mr. Li, there is no need to be so polite. I am sorry for disturbing you by coming here."

　　"There, there." Waving his hands repeatedly, Mr. Li spoke respectfully.

　　While speaking, Mr. Li's eyes could not help but sweep over Li Yi who was beside him. In fact, Mr. Li had no objection to Li Yi liking Zhou Xue, and the Li family did not think too much about helping Zhou Yun.

　　Now it seems that their kindness at that time has been richly rewarded. Zhou Yun now has a bright future. Not only was he appointed as a general, but he can also marry the princess of the current dynasty. Li Yi can marry Zhou Yun's sister, so the Li family will naturally rise to prominence in the future.

　　"Hello, uncle. Xiaoxue pays her respects to you." Compared to Lin Junyao, Zhou Xue's attitude towards the old man of the Li family was much closer and more respectful. Even though she now had a high status thanks to Zhou Yun's achievements, the old man was Li Yi's father after all, and would also be her father in the future. Zhou Xue naturally would not show any arrogance in front of the old man Li because of the change in her status.

　　Looking at the gentle and beautiful Zhou Xue, Mr. Li's eyes showed more fondness.

　　"Good, good, good!" After saying three good words in a row, more smiles appeared on Mr. Li's face.

　　Originally, he was very satisfied with Zhou Xue. The only thing that bothered him was her lowly status. But now, even this slight concern no longer existed.

　　"Mr. Li, this is my adopted sister, Mu Yue." Jun Yao and Zhou Xue had already greeted the old man of the Li family. Zhou Yun immediately brought the last little girl, Mu Yue, over and spoke to Mr. Li.

　　"Hello, Uncle Li." Little Mu Yue bowed to Mr. Li obediently and said cutely. She had seen that Li Yi and Mr. Li were both very good people, so she would naturally show a good attitude.

　　"What a truly smart and pretty girl. Hahaha." Grandpa Li also seemed very happy when he saw the cute little Mu Yue.

　　Everyone had already greeted each other, and Mr. Li immediately turned his body and spoke to everyone, "Come on, don't stand here. I have prepared a family dinner to welcome you. Please come in quickly."

　　"Thank you." Nodding, Zhou Yun took the lead and walked in front, walking with Mr. Li. Lin Junyao followed Zhou Yun with little Mu Yue. Behind them, Li Yi had already walked with Zhou Xue. Although they didn't say much, the two of them had already quietly held hands.

　　"Mr. Li, I won't be staying in Heyang for too long this time. I want to take this opportunity to get my sister married. Is that okay with you?" Zhou Yun walked with Mr. Li specifically just to talk about this matter.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Mr. Li immediately smiled and responded, "No problem, you are busy with military affairs now and don't have time to stay in Heyang for too long, so let's do this as soon as possible. My Xiaoyi has been waiting for so many years, I believe they won't mind if things are rushed."

　　"In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Li. If possible, let's set the date for seven days later." Zhou Yun said with a slight smile.

　　"Okay, then I will prepare it as soon as possible." With a laugh, Mr. Li responded.

　　The family dinner ended in a warm atmosphere. Old Master Li fully agreed with the marriage of Li Yi and Zhou Xue, and was ready to do it immediately as Zhou Yun said.

　　After resolving this issue, Zhou Yun's burden was immediately lightened by half.

　　The people Zhou Yun cares about most in his life are these two women, one is Zhou Xue and the other is Lin Junyao. Now Zhou Xue has found a good home, and the next step is to give Lin Junyao happiness.

　　Under the moonlight, Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao snuggled in a small building of the Li family. The two of them lay on bamboo chairs and looked at the moon outside together.

　　Leaning in Zhou Yun's arms, Lin Junyao smiled calmly and said to Zhou Yun, "Zhou Yun, sister looks so happy."

　　After returning to Heyang, Zhou Xue only had Li Yi in her eyes. She stayed with Li Yi all day long. Seeing Zhou Xue's happy appearance, Lin Junyao felt a lot in her heart.

　　Getting married to the one you love is probably the happiest moment for a girl.

　　Now she is also looking forward to such a moment, to be able to experience the most important moment of their lives with Zhou Yun one day in the future.

　　"We will have it in the future, it won't be too far away. Maybe it will only take a few months." Zhou Yun spoke calmly, gently putting his arm around Lin Junyao's shoulders.

　　These words were not just empty talk that Zhou Yun said without thinking, but were spoken after careful consideration.

　　After this battle, Zhou Yun has more confidence in his own strength. After opening up the Longyuntu and Anhetu, his strength will definitely increase rapidly.

　　The Sharp Blade Diagram also has a great effect on Zhou Yun. If the Sharp Blade Diagram is activated, Zhou Yun's right hand will become indestructible. At that time, in conjunction with the secret method of the Shadow Knife Sect, Zhou Yun's combat effectiveness will once again leap forward!

　　In Zhou Yun’s opinion, there is probably no one in the South China Sea who can resist him now. In the future, his journey will be endless void!

　　"Really?" After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao immediately sat up in surprise and looked at Zhou Yun expectantly.

　　If she could really marry Zhou Yun within a few months, Lin Junyao would undoubtedly be extremely happy. She has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

　　"I promise, I will." With a slight smile, Zhou Yun pulled Lin Junyao back into his arms and spoke softly.

　　"Well, I'll wait for you and I believe in you." After hearing Zhou Yun's assurance, Lin Junyao smiled peacefully again.

　　Under the moonlight, Lin Junyao and Zhou Yun snuggled quietly for a while. Zhou Yun stood up and carried Lin Junyao to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then said softly, "Junyao, you should rest first. I'm going to visit my sister. I have something to discuss with Li Yi now."

　　"Okay, go ahead." Lin Junyao nodded and spoke obediently.

　　She also knew that Zhou Yun would probably have a lot of things to do after returning to Heyang this time. In addition to Zhou Xue's marriage, he might also discuss some other things with Li Yi.

　　Zhou Yun bent down and kissed Lin Junyao on the forehead, then straightened up, turned around and left Lin Junyao's room.

　　After leaving the courtyard where Lin Junyao lived, Zhou Yun went straight to the courtyard where Li Yi lived. However, he did not expect that as soon as he turned a corner, Zhou Yun found that Li Yi was already waiting there.

　　"Xiaoxue is already asleep. I know you have something to talk to me about. Come with me." Seeing Zhou Yun coming over, Li Yi immediately waved to Zhou Yun and spoke.

　　Taking Zhou Yun with him, Li Yi walked directly to the outskirts of the mansion.

　　"Huh? Where are we going? Can't we just talk at home?" Seeing that Li Yi was going to take him away from the Li family mansion, Zhou Yun immediately asked curiously.

　　"Haha, I know what you want me to do, but I may not be able to do these things by myself. I need someone's help. She is waiting there. Come with me." With a slight smile, Li Yi left a word and walked straight out of the Li family mansion.

　　Not knowing what was going on, Zhou Yun could only follow Li Yi out of the Li family mansion.

　　Chapter 229: Being a Concubine is Not Bad

　　After returning to Heyang, Zhou Yun had mentioned to Li Yi that he would need his help in the future. The Li family was a wealthy family in Tianhe Province, controlling many commercial and grain companies, and had strong financial resources. Zhou Yun was in charge of an army of 20,000 people when he went to Nanhai this time. He could not support the army by himself, so he had to find a reliable support in terms of money and food...

　　Although Zhou Yun's status and position are good now, he is born into a commoner family and has no powerful connections. He can only rely on Li Yi's help in such matters.

　　Following Li Yi out of the Li family mansion and getting on the carriage parked at the door, after an incense stick of time at the end of the month, the two had arrived at the back door of Baoyu Tower in the center of Heyang City.

　　Zhou Yun knew about Baoyu Tower. This place was a base of Beiwu Hall in Heyang City. Before, Zhou Yun had a low status and could not get in touch with things of this level, but the current Zhou Yun was no longer the ignorant boy before.

　　Seeing Li Yi bringing him here, Zhou Yun immediately spoke up, "Li Yi, do you want me to cooperate with Beiwu Hall? First of all, these people may not be reliable, and what I want to do can be done with your help."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Yi naturally understood Zhou Yun's concerns. With a slight smile, Li Yi said, "Zhou Yun, I know what you are worried about, but please don't worry. I came here today because of an invitation from an acquaintance of yours. She contacted me and said she wanted to cooperate with you."

　　"Acquaintance?" After Li Yi finished speaking, Zhou Yun's brows slightly frowned, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

　　Zhou Yun really didn't know if there was anyone he knew in Heyang City.

　　"Come here quickly, you'll know when you come up." Ignoring Zhou Yun's pensive look, Li Yi smiled slightly and was the first to climb the stairs of Baoyu Tower.

　　Without thinking any more, Zhou Yun followed Li Yi into the Baoyu Tower.

　　He was not too worried about whether there were any traps here. After all, Li Yi would not harm him. Even if there were some dangers in this place that Li Yi didn't know about, Zhou Yun was confident that he could deal with them.

　　After growing up in the Shenxiao Leiyun Palace and receiving guidance from the Nine-Headed Snake Demon, Zhou Yun is no longer someone that ordinary warriors can contend with.

　　It can be said that, in the entire dynasty, except for the top ones who are the pillars, even if strong men like General Yan Yin and General Hu Pen are placed in front of Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun is confident that he can escape unscathed.

　　Following Li Yi, the two of them walked forward and went straight to the top floor of Baoyu Tower.

　　Along the way, a pretty girl was leading the way for them respectfully, but she didn't say a word.

　　After bringing the two to a room on the top floor, the girl bowed to Zhou Yun and Li Yi and then retreated.

　　After the little girl left, Li Yi pushed open the door of the room in front of him.

　　The door was opened, and Zhou Yun immediately saw the scene in the room. In the exquisitely decorated room, there was a round table with exquisite dishes on it. In front of the window of the room, a woman in red clothes was already standing there. Her back was slender and charming. Although she hadn't turned around yet, people could already feel a strong sense of charm.

　　When the woman turned around, Zhou Yun's face immediately showed an expression of surprise.

　　"Ms. Qin?"

　　The woman in red was Qin Lan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family in Heyang City!

　　Zhou Yun didn't know what to feel about Qin Lan. During the more than ten years that he worked as a servant in the Qin family, the Qin family didn't take care of him and his sister, but they didn't persecute them either. This allowed Zhou Yun and Zhou Xue to spend such a long time safely.

　　After Zhou Yun's martial arts career soared to success, although Qin Lan had some plans for him, she did not take any practical action.

　　Especially later, when killing Zhao Guang caused big trouble, the Qin family helped her to some extent, which made Zhou Yun feel somewhat complicated when facing Qin Lan.

　　"What's wrong? Are you surprised to see me?" With a gentle smile on her face, Qin Lan walked over slowly and stood in front of Zhou Yun.

　　It has to be said that Qin Lan is a woman with a very gentle appearance. Most importantly, Qin Lan is born with a charming aura, just like a poisonous flower that teases people and makes them fall into it.

　　Not knowing what Qin Lan's purpose was now, Zhou Yun could only remain calm and said, "Miss Qin has misunderstood. Zhou Yun has been taken care of by Miss Qin for more than ten years in the Qin family. I would like to thank Miss Qin."

　　Naturally, she could feel a hint of alienation in Zhou Yun's words. Faced with such a Zhou Yun, Qin Lan could only shake her head helplessly.

　　"Okay Zhou Yun, I won't tease you anymore. You were in my house before, and we didn't treat you badly. We also helped you a lot later. At that time, you hadn't shown such strong power. Even if we supported you, we had to consider the impact. But now there is no such problem. I want to cooperate with you." Qin Lan looked at Zhou Yun with a serious expression and spoke slowly.

　　After Qin Lan finished speaking, Li Yi also spoke up, "In fact, there have been many people in Tianhe Province who have caused trouble for us recently. You know, although our family is a big family, we have always been weak in terms of military strength. Recently, we have relied on the Qin family to help us and have not encountered any problems."

　　After listening to Qin Lan and Li Yi's words, Zhou Yun nodded silently. It was indeed as Qin Lan said. Although the Qin family did not strongly support him, they did not do anything to let him down.

　　After all, his relationship with the Qin family is not that close. In this continent where strength is paramount, only when you become strong will others come closer to you.

　　After thinking this through, Zhou Yun no longer had any hostility towards Qin Lan. He raised his head, looked at Qin Lan and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Qin, for protecting the Li family. Zhou Yun will definitely repay you in the future. However, I want to know, how do you want to cooperate with me?"

　　Zhou Yun was somewhat surprised and puzzled by Qin Lan's talk of cooperation. Now all Zhou Yun lacked was some money and food, and he really had no idea what resources Qin Lan had.

　　With a teasing smile on her face, Qin Lan said, "Zhou Yun, you are not short of money. You just need someone to help you turn some useless things into money. Li Yi may not be able to do this well. If you leave it to me, it will be completely different."

　　"What do you mean?" Zhou Yun asked repeatedly, a little confused by Qin Lan's words.

　　Qin Lan rolled her eyes at Zhou Yun and said, "You made a fortune in the Shenwei training camp, so you need to deal with those things. According to my estimation, if you sell those things, I think they can support the South China Sea Army for three years. And I am the one who can help you deal with these things."

　　After listening to Qin Lan's words, Zhou Yun finally understood why Qin Lan came to see him today.

　　In the Shenwei Training Camp, Zhou Yun killed many noble sons. These noble sons had a lot of treasures stored in their space rings. As long as he could get rid of these treasures, Zhou Yun would not have to worry about money at all.

　　"Do you have any channels to deal with these things?" Zhou Yun asked, looking at Qin Lan.

　　Zhou Yun had thought about these things before. If he wanted to deal with these things, he couldn't just give them to a certain business. These things were too important and too valuable. If he didn't have a reliable channel, there was no way he could sell them.

　　If it were handed over to Li Yi, I'm afraid Li Yi really has no channels to deal with it, because dealing with these things does require some powerful dark power, and Li Yi obviously does not have such dark power.

　　However, does Qin Lan in front of him have such power?

　　Qin Lan naturally saw Zhou Yun's doubts and smiled, "You can rest assured about this. In fact, I am actually the person in charge of Beiwutang in the entire Tianhe Province. I am afraid that even Saigon Trading Company cannot handle this batch of things. If you want to safely turn these treasures into money, only Beiwutang can do it. Because you know that Beiwutang has power on both the black and white sides, and our channels are not only in the Tianyuan Dynasty. The things in your hands will also have good value in several other countries."

　　"Are you the person in charge of Beiwutang in Tianhe Province?" Zhou Yun looked at Qin Lan in surprise, and he was really shocked in his heart.

　　Zhou Yun knew about Beiwu Tang. Although he was not afraid of an organization like Beiwu Tang with his current strength, it did not mean that Zhou Yun did not recognize the power of Beiwu Tang.

　　This organization is not only powerful in terms of military force, but also can often obtain some precious treasures. There are also many experts in the organization and the financial resources are also strong.

　　If this matter is entrusted to Beiwutang, it will definitely have a good effect.

　　With a slight smile, Qin Lan took out a small golden sign with the word "Wu" printed on it from her waist, waved it in front of Zhou Yun, and said, "The head of the Tianhe branch of Beiwu Hall, guaranteed to be genuine."

　　Although Qin Lan simply waved in front of Zhou Yun, with Zhou Yun's current eyesight, even for a moment, he could still see the sign clearly.

　　The fine workmanship and thick texture are indeed the style of Beiwutang.

　　"Okay, then I will cooperate with you, and I hope everything goes well." Zhou Yun finally showed a smile on his face and made a decision.

　　Seeing that Zhou Yun had already reached an agreement with Qin Lan, Li Yi's expression relaxed and he laughed out loud, "That's good. Miss Qin will take care of those things for you, and I will prepare money and food. Although my Li family's assets can be shared with you, the Li family's assets are limited after all. With the things you have and Miss Qin's support, I believe you will be able to open up the situation in the South China Sea quickly."

　　Things have been settled, and the serious expression on Qin Lan's face immediately melted away, replaced by a slightly coquettish look. She glanced at Zhou Yun provocatively and said, "Yes, I also wish you all the best in the South China Sea, and I will help you protect the Li family, Li Yi and your sister's safety. I will be responsible for that. As for you, Zhou Yun, just work hard to make achievements. When you are successful, I, Qin Lan, can also benefit from it. It would not be bad to marry you as a concubine."

　　"Hehe." After hearing Qin Lan's words and looking at her charming appearance, Zhou Yun's face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment. He laughed dryly twice, and Zhou Yun waved his hand slightly. Suddenly, a space ring appeared in Zhou Yun's hand.

　　"This space ring is for you. It contains some of the things I got this time. Let's start the cooperation first. If everything goes well, I will give you the other things later." Zhou Yun handed the ring to Qin Lan and said hurriedly, "I still need to practice, so I'll take my leave now."

　　After leaving these words, Zhou Yun hurriedly turned around and left the room. Looking at Zhou Yun's hurriedly leaving back, Qin Lan couldn't help but smile tenderly.

　　Chapter 230 Wedding

　　After Zhou Yun went downstairs, Li Yi quickly followed him out. None of the three of them touched the table of delicious food and wine...

　　He quickly caught up with Zhou Yun, and the two of them immediately got on the carriage together.

　　Sitting opposite each other in the carriage, Li Yi looked at Zhou Yun, and a mocking smile appeared on his face. "Zhou Yun, you are not serious, are you? Can Qin Lan make you so embarrassed?"

　　Zhou Yun was obviously embarrassed by Qin Lan's talk about concubines just now, so he quickly left Baoyu Tower. This was the first time Li Yi saw Zhou Yun like this, so he naturally found it funny.

　　Zhou Yun rolled his eyes at Li Yi and said, "I don't like women like Qin Lan. She's too mysterious and too restless. I already have Jun Yao, and I met another girl in Beijing. Jun Yao also agreed to let me accept her. I don't think I will have any other women in the future."

　　"What? You want to take a concubine before you even finish marrying the princess? You're incredible." Looking at Zhou Yun in shock, Li Yi pretended to be surprised and spoke.

　　"I..." Zhou Yun was choked again when Li Yi said this.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun being humiliated again, Li Yi couldn't help but laugh. He was originally worried that Zhou Yun's status and position would become extremely noble after returning to Heyang, and he would become cold and arrogant, but judging from their interactions today, Zhou Yun had not changed at all.

　　Perhaps Zhou Yun's abilities have become stronger and his mind has become more resilient, but Zhou Yun's nature has not changed, which makes Li Yi feel very comfortable.

　　"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. What plans do you have for the next few days? You can tell me in advance. In addition, I have already started to prepare the first batch of money and food you need for your trip to Hainan. In addition to money and food, you may need to replace a batch of weapons by then. There are also some other things, such as warships, that need to be prepared. But I can't help you with these things. You can only rely on your relationship in the court, or ask Qin Lan for help." Li Yi stopped teasing Zhou Yun and turned the topic to business.

　　Seeing that Li Yi let him go, Zhou Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to talk more about Qin Lan.

　　After organizing his thoughts, Zhou Yun said, "I want to practice in seclusion for a while. After my sister's wedding is over, I will go to the Black Dragon Mountains. After returning here, I will go directly to the South China Sea."

　　These days on the way back to Heyang, Zhou Yun has been practicing hard. Seven days later, Zhou Xue's wedding will be over, and Zhou Yun's accumulated spiritual power should be almost enough. After a few days of intensive practice, he should be able to completely open up the Dragon Cloud Map.

　　By that time, there should be no problem setting out for the Black Dragon Mountains.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, you can practice in the secret room of my house with peace of mind these days, and I will arrange everything else."

　　"Thank you for your hard work." Zhou Yun smiled at Li Yi, thanked him, and closed his eyes.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun closing his eyes, Li Yi knew that Zhou Yun had entered the state of cultivation again. Seeing that Zhou Yun did not let go of even such a short period of time, Li Yi finally understood why Zhou Yun could achieve such a great improvement in such a short period of time!

　　Without saying anything to disturb Zhou Yun, Li Yi leaned quietly on the backrest of the carriage.

　　After an incense stick of time, the carriage arrived at the Li family mansion. Zhou Yun said goodbye to Li Yi and went directly into the Li family's basement.

　　Sitting comfortably in the basement, Zhou Yun once again sat cross-legged, and began to practice again with his main body and condensed body.

　　Zhou Yun returned to Heyang, and Li Yi was about to marry Zhou Xue. In the next seven days, the entire Li family was busy, but this busyness was filled with joy.

　　After waiting for so many years, the eldest son of the Li family is finally getting married, and everyone in the Li family will naturally be very happy.

　　Li Yi and the old man of the Li family were in charge of all matters concerning the wedding, and Zhou Yun, apart from taking some time to accompany Lin Junyao these days, spent the rest of his time practicing.

　　Although he only spent an hour with Lin Junyao every day, Lin Junyao did not feel dissatisfied because she understood Zhou Yun.

　　Because she knew in her heart that only if Zhou Yun grew rapidly and became stronger and stronger could he solve all the problems in Nanhai as soon as possible and return to the capital to marry her.

　　In the basement of Li's family, Zhou Yun was sitting there quietly, with electric light constantly surrounding his body. After a period of understanding the sound of thunderclouds, the lightning power on Zhou Yun's body had already become purer.

　　Now the electric light on Zhou Yun's body no longer has any faint blue color, and has completely turned purple.

　　Sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, Zhou Yun's chest was rising and falling slowly. This rise and fall with his breathing was extremely slow. If it wasn't for long-term careful observation, it would be almost impossible to notice the changes in Zhou Yun's chest.

　　A deep breath takes almost a cup of tea. During such a deep breath, the spiritual power in Zhou Yuntian's spiritual veins seems to be rotating slowly but actually rapidly.

　　As the spiritual power in Zhou Yuntian's spiritual veins circulated, the spiritual power in his spiritual veins became increasingly powerful.

　　"Huh!" When the spiritual power in his spiritual vein reached a base number, Zhou Yun finally exhaled deeply, and the lightning on his body slowly retracted.

　　The Tianling Vein, which was originally rotating rapidly, began to slowly calm down and become quiet.

　　When he opened his eyes, a hint of purple light appeared in Zhou Yun's pupils. The purple light was mixed with a bit of holy milky white light, which was exactly the color of the spiritual power in the Tianling Vein.

　　"The spiritual power has finally accumulated enough to open up the remaining spiritual points." Standing up, Zhou Yun felt the power in his body and a smile appeared on his face.

　　Originally, Zhou Yun estimated that it would take at least fifteen days to accumulate enough spiritual power. However, because Zhou Yun spent less time with Lin Junyao and more time practicing, he completed the accumulation of spiritual power in just thirteen days.

　　"My sister's wedding is about to start, and I should go out and take a look." After tidying up his clothes, Zhou Yun turned and walked out of the Li family's basement.

　　As soon as he came out of the basement, Zhou Yun immediately felt a sense of joy. The entire Li family's home had been decorated to look particularly festive. Bright red ribbons were hung all over the mansion, and pieces of wedding characters were pasted all over the doors and windows of the mansion.

　　Inside the mansion, servants were walking around in a hurry, preparing various things that would be needed when the wedding began.

　　Looking at the busy Li family, Zhou Yun's mood also relaxed. Without disturbing anyone, Zhou Yun slowly walked towards the courtyard where his sister Zhou Xue lived.

　　Along the way, the servants of the Li family respectfully bowed and gave way to Zhou Yun when they saw him.

　　Soon, Zhou Yun arrived at the courtyard where his sister lived. Unlike usual, the door of the courtyard was closed today, and many warriors from the Lin family stood here to guard, so others could not get close.

　　Zhou Yun knew that although his sister was marrying from the Li Mansion this time, the basic rules could not be changed. Before the wedding, even Li Yi would not be able to see Zhou Xue.

　　"Young Master." Seeing Zhou Yun, the warriors guarding the courtyard immediately saluted respectfully and made way.

　　Unlike the Li family, Zhou Yun is a relative and can visit Zhou Xue before the wedding.

　　After entering the courtyard, Zhou Yun went straight into the main house. There were only three people in the entire main house. As soon as he entered the main house, Zhou Yun immediately saw Zhou Xue in a bright red dress.

　　On the wedding day, Zhou Xue wore a gorgeous dress that she had never worn before. She tied her hair up into a simple yet gorgeous bun.

　　Zhou Xue, who always had a plain face, put on some light makeup today. Sitting on the bed, Zhou Xue looked particularly beautiful, especially the happy smile on her face, which made her even more beautiful.

　　"Sister, you are so beautiful today." Seeing Zhou Xue, Zhou Yun couldn't help but smile and couldn't help but admire her. Although he always knew that his sister was an outstanding beauty, he had never seen Zhou Xue so beautiful.

　　Beside Zhou Xue, little Mu Yue was looking at Zhou Xue with envy, while Lin Junyao was the first to run over after seeing Zhou Xue.

　　"Zhou Yun, how is it? I did my sister's makeup." Although there was envy in her eyes, Lin Junyao still ran over to Zhou Yun to take credit.

　　Zhou Yun gently stroked Lin Junyao's hair and smiled, "Junyao, you did a great job. Also, you look beautiful today."

　　Since she had to accompany Zhou Xue, Lin Junyao also put on light makeup today. Although her outfit and clothes were not as good as Zhou Xue's, she was still extremely charming.

　　"Zhou Yun, I'm waiting too." After looking at Zhou Xue and then shifting her gaze to Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao spoke with a hint of coquettishness.

　　Zhou Yun naturally knew what Lin Junyao was talking about. He smiled gently at Lin Junyao and said, "Don't worry, the time I promised you will not change. I will definitely return to the capital in three months."

　　"Yeah!" Hearing Zhou Yun's reassurance again, Lin Junyao couldn't help but nodded vigorously.

　　"Jun Yao, take Xiao Mu to the next room first. I want to talk to my sister." After comforting Lin Jun Yao, Zhou Yun looked at Zhou Xue sitting on the bed and smiled.

　　Suddenly, Zhou Yun realized that since he participated in the Heyang City Martial Arts Examination, his concern for his sister has quietly decreased.

　　Moreover, after today, my sister will be married to another man, and in the future, she may no longer be able to take care of him like before.

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao nodded obediently, took Xiao Muyue out of the room, and even helped Zhou Yun close the door.

　　"Sister, do you feel happy?" Walking to the bed, Zhou Yun knelt down on one knee and held Zhou Xue's hand.

　　Seeing Zhou Yun, who looked like a mature man, Zhou Xue's eyes could not help but turn red. She held Zhou Yun's hand and said excitedly, "I'm very happy, Zhou Yun. I want to thank you. I really appreciate your hard work."

　　Zhou Xue said this from the bottom of her heart. She knew how much effort Zhou Yun had put in for her.

　　Eye circles were red, and Zhou Yun tried to smile. "Sister, I will make you happy forever, I promise. If that kid Li Yi dares to treat you badly, I will hang him upside down on the flagpole of Heyang City."

　　"Yes, sister believes you." Zhou Xue burst into laughter and nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes.

　　At this time, there were bursts of blowing and beating sounds coming from outside the courtyard. When Zhou Yun heard the sounds, he knew that the Li family's wedding procession had arrived.

　　Holding Zhou Xue's hand and standing up, Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Sister, time is running out. Let me take you out."

　　"Okay." Zhou Xue nodded softly, and under the guidance of Zhou Yun, she slowly walked out of the house.

　　Chapter 231: Shocked back!

　　"Pray to heaven and earth."

　　"Greetings, parents."

　　"Husband and wife bow to each other."

　　Amidst cheers, in the Li family's gorgeously decorated lobby, the wedding of Li Yi and Zhou Xue was finally held as scheduled. Looking at his sister and Li Yi bowing to each other in the center of the lobby, Zhou Yun clapped his hands vigorously, and his eyes couldn't help but flushed. After so much effort, the first thing he needed to accomplish finally had a result, "That's great." Beside Zhou Yun, Lin Junyao was also a little emotional. As a girl who was as meticulous as a hair, such a scene was enough to move her, "Next, it's your turn." With a smile on his face, Zhou Yun turned around and took Lin Junyao's little hand. When Zhou Yun held her hand, Lin Junyao's pretty face immediately flushed. After all, there are still many things here. With people present and Zhou Yun holding her hand, it was enough to make Lin Junyao feel shy. However, now that everyone's attention was on Li Yi and Zhou Xue, Lin Junyao's shyness was somewhat alleviated. "What do you mean?" With some confusion, Lin Junyao looked at Zhou Yun and asked doubtfully. Holding Lin Junyao's hand, Zhou Yun led the somewhat ignorant girl out of the lobby and walked towards the small courtyard where Lin Junyao lived. Away from the hustle and bustle, the area around the two of them became quiet again. While walking, Zhou Yun looked up at the front and said slowly, "In this life, my biggest wish is to make the two most important women in my heart happy. These two women, one is my sister, and the other..."

　　At this point, Zhou Yun subconsciously stopped talking, and Lin Junyao had already felt Zhou Yun's feelings at this time, and the happiness in her eyes could no longer be concealed, "The other one is you." Turning around, Zhou Yun looked at Lin Junyao and said softly, "Zhou Yun..." After watching Zhou Xue's wedding, Lin Junyao's heart was already full of emotion and tenderness. At this time, when she heard Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao's heart was immediately moved. Before she could say anything more, Zhou Yun immediately said, "Remember, the hill where we met, do you want to go over and take a look?"

　　"Yeah." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao nodded immediately, "Let's go." With a slight smile, Zhou Yun put his arm around Lin Junyao's waist, and the wings of lightning behind him spread out. Suddenly, the two of them soared into the sky, directly leaping to a height of a thousand meters, and flew towards the hills on the outskirts of Heyang City. It took them almost no time to reach the destination for such a short distance. With Zhou Yun's current cultivation level, if he did not have a very high ability, no one would have noticed that he had left. Even the people on the streets of Heyang City did not see Zhou Yun, but among the guards who followed Lin Junyao, there were masters who noticed their actions. Soon, the warriors who were protecting Lin Junyao secretly left the city and followed. , protecting Lin Junyao from a distance, "Remember, we met here six years ago." Standing on a small hill at the foot of Luoxia Mountain with Lin Junyao, Zhou Yun looked at the official road below and sighed. Six years ago, he and Lin Junyao met in this place. Heyang City is a relatively poor place. Although more than six years have passed, the topography of that year has not changed at all. Lin Junyao can even see the big tree where she temporarily hid. Recalling the dangerous scene six years ago, Lin Junyao turned to look at Zhou Yun and said faintly, "Zhou Yun, you didn't have any cultivation at that time, but you saved me so desperately. Why?"

　　Lin Junyao never mentioned this incident for many years, but she always had this question in her heart and wanted Zhou Yun to answer it. With a smile on her face, Zhou Yun said, "It was instinct. When I saw you at that time, I thought to myself, it would be a pity if such a beautiful girl was hurt by the tiger, so I rushed forward."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao's face flushed. She punched Zhou Yun lightly with her fist and said coquettishly, "So you are a pervert. You saved me because I am pretty."

　　Zhou Yun naturally knew that Lin Junyao was joking, so he relaxed. "Yes, he is a pervert. Once he has chosen his target, he will catch her and keep her by his side for the rest of his life."

　　As he spoke, Zhou Yun also stretched out his shoulder and took Lin Junyao into his arms, without saying anything else. Lin Junyao quietly leaned in Zhou Yun's arms, accompanying Zhou Yun to feel this rare warm moment. At this time, the Li family compound was already in a heated atmosphere. The ceremony ended, the banquet began, and the entire Li family was filled with the sound of clinking glasses. Since Zhou Yun's return this time, he had achieved achievements that were unattainable for everyone in Heyang City, and even in Tianhe Province. The power of the Li family had also been stabilized a lot. Now all the nobles in Heyang City have leaned towards the Li family, and secretly, the Qin family has also united with the Li family. Previously, the Qin family wanted to replace the Li family, but now it seems that After being tied to Zhou Yun, the promotion of the Li family's title is absolutely guaranteed. At that time, it will be a matter of course for the Qin family to obtain the vacant seat of the aristocratic family. Lin Junyao and Zhou Yun did not participate in the festivities in the Li Mansion. They stayed quietly on Luoxia Mountain. The two of them snuggled together quietly, talked, watched the sunset, and let time pass by little by little. Gradually, the sky darkened. On the official road below, a carriage drove over from Heyang City. The carriage stopped on the official road in front of the two. A warrior from the Lin family came up with a cloak in his hand, "Princess, the weather is cold, put on this dress." At this moment, it was almost autumn, and night fell outside Heyang City. It was already a little chilly on the hill. Although the warriors of the Lin family were unwilling to disturb Zhou Yun and Lin Junyao, Lin Junyao's health was more important, and this was also their job. With a polite smile to the warrior, Zhou Yun raised his hand, and suddenly, the cloak was grabbed by Zhou Yun through the air at a distance of four or five meters. This move was figured out by Zhou Yun after he became familiar with controlling the Wings of Lightning. The true power that left the body could also be controlled by a trace of thought, so that the true power could almost condense into a solid entity, and could do many things that were previously unimaginable, and telekinesis was one of them. Puff, shaking off the cloak, Zhou Yun gently helped Lin Junyao put it on, and carefully helped her tie the straps. "Princess, General Zhou, I'll take my leave." The guard who sent the cloak was deeply shocked by Zhou Yun's move. In the eyes of the Lin family warrior, Zhou Yun's move was simply unbelievable. At least he himself had never seen anyone with such power, how was it done to take things from a distance? The most important thing was that he didn't feel Zhou Yun's true power fluctuations at all just now, which was almost unimaginable for a warrior who had already reached the peak of internal organ training and blood exchange. Seeing that the warrior was stunned for a long time before speaking, Zhou Yun also understood what the warrior was thinking. With a slight smile, Zhou Yun said, "You can take Jun Yao back with you. Go down first and wait on the official road for a while. Jun Yao will go down later."

　　After hearing Zhou Yun's instructions, the warrior nodded silently and turned to leave, "Zhou Yun, aren't you going back?" Seeing the warrior leave, Lin Junyao immediately turned to Zhou Yun and asked. Zhou Yun's words just now clearly meant that she should go back alone. With a slight smile at Lin Junyao, Zhou Yun said, "Junyao, I have some things to do and need to be away for a few days. I'm not sure about the specific time yet, maybe three days, maybe five days, or if it's quick, maybe one day. You just stay at the Li family these days, I'll be back as soon as I finish my business."

　　This time Zhou Yun wanted to go to the Shadow Blade Sect's transmission tower in the Black Dragon Mountains. The last time he left, Zhou Yun still had a lot of secrets that he hadn't learned. There must be other things above the Shadow Blade Sect's transmission tower. Although Zhou Yun now has the Myriad Things Thunder Fist and the Dragon Cloud Map, Zhou Yun still cannot give up the Shadow Blade Sect's secret techniques. As a super sect before, the Shadow Blade Sect must have some extremely precious secrets. Zhou Yun only learned the three secret techniques of Speed ​​Blade, Phantom Blade and Vibration Blade, but next, the Shadow Blade Sect's transmission tower has at least two floors, or even possibly three. Zhou Yun naturally cannot give up, and after that, Zhou Yun is going to open the Sharp Blade Map. Once the Sharp Blade Map is opened, Zhou Yun's right hand will be It is almost the most indestructible magic weapon in the world. When combined with the Shadow Blade Sect's skills, they will definitely complement each other and increase their power. "Well, okay, don't worry, I will stay here with my sister." After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Lin Junyao didn't ask much, but just responded obediently. Zhou Yun had promised her to solve the South China Sea issue as soon as possible. Under such circumstances, Zhou Yun would definitely pay more attention to the improvement of his own cultivation. He might have little time to accompany her during this period of time. Lin Junyao also understood this. Seeing Lin Junyao's obedient appearance, Zhou Yun also smiled gently, gently kissed Lin Junyao on the forehead, and said, "Go down, I'll watch you here."

　　"Yeah." Nodding, Lin Junyao looked at Zhou Yun reluctantly, then turned around and walked down the hill, got on the carriage parked beside the official road, and watched the carriage that Lin Junyao was riding in enter Heyang City. He locked it with his mind and made sure that Lin Junyao had returned to the Li family safely. Zhou Yun then withdrew his spiritual sense, took a deep breath, and his gaze gradually focused. The blue light on his body flashed slightly, and the wings of lightning immediately appeared behind Zhou Yun. Then, Zhou Yun soared into the sky and flew towards the direction of the Black Dragon Mountains. In less than a breath, Zhou Yun's body had disappeared without a trace. Not long after Zhou Yun left, a mysterious figure quickly came to the place where Zhou Yun was just now. Looking at the direction Zhou Yun left, the figure's brows were tightly furrowed. This person was Lu Yan, who was sent by the third prince to kill Zhou Yun. "This Zhou Yun has become so powerful without knowing it. It seems that it is impossible for me to kill him. Now the most urgent thing is to go back and report as soon as possible." A cold light flashed in his eyes. Lu Yan whispered silently, turned around and walked towards the direction of the capital without looking back. A warrior who originally wanted to kill Zhou Yun was actually repelled by Zhou Yun before they even fought.

　　Chapter 232 End

　　In the dead of night, at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, Zhou Yun was flying quickly towards the Black Dragon Mountains under the cover of night.

　　With the wings of lightning, not only did Zhou Yun's combat effectiveness improve, but his travel speed was also much faster than before. In the past, if he wanted to get from Heyang City to the Black Dragon Mountains, it would take at least three days to travel this distance. But now, Zhou Yun had entered the territory of the Black Dragon Mountains in just half a night.

　　Zhou Yun was very familiar with the location of the Shadow Blade Sect's Transmission Tower under the Black Dragon Mountains. Although the Black Dragon Mountains were dark at this time, Zhou Yun could still clearly capture the pool of water where the Transmission Tower was hidden.

　　call!

　　After determining the position, Zhou Yun quickly descended and came to a position 30 meters in the air. He retracted the wings of lightning behind him and suddenly descended.

　　An ordinary person would have died from the fall from a distance of thirty meters, but such a height was no problem at all for Zhou Yun. Even without the Wings of Thunder, Zhou Yun could fall from a height of several thousand meters without suffering any injury.

　　When he was about to land, a burst of true power suddenly emerged from Zhou Yun's body, instantly reducing the downward impact to the minimum. Zhou Yun landed on the ground almost like a feather without causing any ripples.

　　Looking at the pool of water in front of him, a smile appeared on Zhou Yun's face. This pool of water was exactly where the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower was hidden. Zhou Yun had just released his spiritual sense to sense it, and the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower was still hidden deep in this pool of water.

　　"It's time to go down and take a look. The earlier we go, the earlier we can come back. We can also spend more time with Jun Yao." Looking at the pool of water in front of him, Zhou Yun said silently in his heart.

　　Zhou Yun was deeply touched that Lin Junyao was willing to leave the capital and travel thousands of miles to Heyang just to spend a short time with him. Although the things he was facing were more urgent than the last, Zhou Yun still couldn't let go of Lin Junyao.

　　A surge of true energy surged around his body, and Zhou Yun resolutely jumped into the pool of water in front of him. At this time, Zhou Yun's cultivation level had already made a world of difference compared to the last time he left here.

　　Now when entering the pool, Zhou Yun can even prevent the water in the pool from touching his body at all.

　　Soon, Zhou Yun, who was familiar with the place, had entered the Shadow Blade Sect's power transmission tower.

　　As soon as he entered the tower, Zhou Yun's expression changed immediately. There were obvious signs of other people's activities in the tower. Could it be that other people had been to this place before?

　　Realizing this, Zhou Yun immediately released his spiritual perception with almost tangible strength, instantly covering the entire power transmission tower!

　　This time, Zhou Yun’s spiritual perception finally touched several figures that he had not noticed before!

　　There were four people in total! And all of them were on the sixth floor of the Shadow Blade Sect's Transmission Tower!

　　As Zhou Yun's spiritual power penetrated the protective barrier of the four people, the appearance of the four people gradually appeared in Zhou Yun's mind!

　　"It's actually them!?" After feeling the appearance of these four people, Zhou Yun couldn't help but exclaim in horror.

　　These four people were none other than Li Yan, Ye Changfeng, Chu Kuang and Meng Qingchen, who had saved him once in the Black Dragon Mountains!
