Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

Then Lu Yuan pointed at the bearded man.

"Hello, my name is Lu Yuan." Lu Yuan said politely with a fist salute.

"Hello." The bearded man and others saluted in return.

"Brother Lu, you've just arrived. Do you have any plans? You might as well go to our mercenary group first. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the treatment." The bearded man smiled and seemed very enthusiastic.

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, brother. I still want to continue my training, so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

"In that case, take care, Brother Lu." The bearded man did not try to persuade him to stay.

"Goodbye." Lu Yuan clasped his fists and quickly turned around and left.

After watching Lu Yuan walk away, the bearded man's eyes sparkled and he said, "That man just now actually had such strength, it seems he has a strong background."

Chen Yang grinned and said, "Boss, let's act quickly and don't delay the important matter."

"Well, let's go!" The bearded man nodded.

……

Tianyun Mountains are located in the northwest of Beimo Kingdom.

It would take half a month to start from Beimo City, cross the wasteland forest, and block the entrance to Tianyun Mountains.

After entering Tianyun Mountains, Lu Yuan had no intention of returning empty-handed. He wanted to hunt ferocious beasts to earn money to buy spiritual herbs. After all, he was short of money.

Not long after, Lu Yuan came to a steep cliff with dense trees in front blocking his view.

"Why is this cliff so creepy?" Lu Yuan frowned, feeling a chill in his heart.

Lu Yuan stood on the edge of the cliff and looked out, his face turning pale because the cliff was so bottomless.

There is no grass around the cliff, and the cold wind is biting and terrifying.

"It's so high, how do we get down?" Lu Yuan shook his head and sighed.

"Oh! We can only choose to take a detour, or simply not go. Anyway, the distance is too far and we can't make it in time."

"Boom~"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dull sound, like thunder.

"Who?" Lu Yuan turned around suddenly and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Hey, it's him."

When he saw who was coming, Lu Yuan widened his eyes in shock.

"Who are you?" Lu Yuan shouted coldly.

Two figures came quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they landed on the other side of the cliff, level with Lu Yuan.

"It's you!" After seeing the face of the person coming clearly, Lu Yuan's expression froze and he looked shocked.

The people who came were two young men, one fat and one thin. The shorter man was Lu Yuan’s mortal enemy, Liu Heng.

As for the other tall and strong man, he is Liu Heng's follower, a martial artist at the peak of the middle stage, and his name is Huang Yan.

"Lu Yuan, I didn't expect you to dare to venture into the Tianyun Mountains alone. Today I want to avenge Liu Heng." Liu Heng stared at Lu Yuan with gritted teeth, his eyes spitting fire.

"Lu Yuan, you can't escape death even if you run to the ends of the earth. Prepare to die!" Huang Yan said coldly, drawing his sword and slashing at Lu Yuan.

"Humph! Do you think this young master is afraid of the two of you joining forces?"

Lu Yuan snorted contemptuously, showing no fear at all.

"You are just a piece of trash. We can crush you to death with just one finger!" Liu Heng smiled grimly and urged Huang Yan, "Hurry up!"

"Kill!" Huang Yan roared.

But Lu Yuan was no pushover either. He took a step forward and rushed forward.

Bang!
Huang Yan chopped with all his strength, striking Lu Yuan in the chest and sending him flying.

"You are a waste indeed!" Huang Yan sneered, his eyes full of contempt and disdain. Lu Yuan retreated three or four meters before he could stabilize himself. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, vomited blood, and even had difficulty breathing.

"How could this be?"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened in shock. He had never expected the gap between him and Huang Yan to be so huge.

"You...are going too far!" Lu Yuan was extremely angry.

"Lu Yuan, you are just an alchemist. How dare you provoke us? You are just asking for trouble." Huang Yan said sarcastically.

Lu Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Although I, Lu Yuan, am not a disciple of a big family, I will never allow you to trample on my dignity."

"Since you are so stubborn, then go and die." Huang Yan snorted coldly and rushed forward with his sword.

"My life is over!" Lu Yuan closed his eyes, feeling completely hopeless.

Lu Yuan knew that he was doomed. Huang Yan was a warrior of a high level and possessed a Xuan-level martial spirit. He had no way of competing with him.

"call out!"

Suddenly, just as Huang Yan approached, a silver needle shot out from hundreds of feet away and instantly hit Huang Yan's chest.

"Pfft!"

After a successful attack, Lu Yuan was overjoyed and opened his eyes to look to the side.

I saw a young man in black, running towards me from a distance with a slight gasp.

"Brother Lu, are you okay?" the young man in black asked hurriedly with concern.

"You are..." Seeing the young man in black, Lu Yuan was stunned and said, "You are... Li Xiaohu."

Hearing this, the young man in black immediately took off his cloak, revealing a handsome face, it was Li Xiaohu.

"I will never forget Mr. Li's life-saving grace!" Lu Yuan said gratefully.

"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning." Li Xiaohu waved his hand, then took out a few bottles of healing medicine and handed them to Lu Yuan, saying: "Brother Lu, your injuries are quite serious. Take this bottle of healing medicine quickly and recover some strength."

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Lu Yuan gratefully accepted the medicine bottle, then poured out a pill of healing medicine and swallowed it. After a while, the blood flowing from the wound stopped.

Li Xiaohu's sudden appearance surprised Liu Heng and the others.

"Li Xiaohu, you are still alive?" Liu Heng frowned with a puzzled look on his face.

"You're not dead yet, how can I die so soon?" Li Xiaohu smiled calmly, glanced at Lu Yuan, and thought to himself, "So that's how it is. No wonder he dared to come to Tianyun Mountain Range alone. It turns out he had expected us to come."

"How do you know each other?" Liu Heng asked with a frown, his face very serious.

"You don't need to worry about this." Li Xiaohu smiled calmly and said, "Brother Lu, let's get going."

Lu Yuan nodded and prepared to set off.

"Lu Yuan, I advise you not to get involved in this mess, otherwise you will die without knowing how." Liu Heng threatened grimly.

"Do you really think you are worth a lot?" Lu Yuan glanced at Liu Heng coldly and said.

"Don't let me hear anything like that again. Get lost!"

"You..." Hearing this, Liu Heng became furious, but was speechless because he was really angry about Lu Yuan's words.

"Brother Lu, ignore them." Li Xiaohu grabbed the furious Liu Heng, then looked at Lu Yuan with a smile and said.

"Let's go. Let's find a safe place to hide for a while, and then come to Tianyun Mountains for training in a few days."

Lu Yuan nodded, and then the two of them continued to move towards the interior of the Tianyun Mountains.

"Huang Yan, let's let Lu Yuan go this time. If he dares to provoke us again next time, we will never forgive him!" Liu Heng said viciously, his fists clenched so tightly that veins bulged.

"Brother Liu, I understand." Huang Yan nodded.

"Let's go back to the city first." Liu Heng said, and then walked towards the city gate first. (End of this chapter)
