Lord of Bones

Chapter 586: Sneaking around
A young man with bright eyes and white teeth and an upright body looked at Tan Wenshu and said: "Everyone had something to do before, so we arranged for my sister to lead us.

"She just came back from the sect and doesn't know the situation at the inn."

"Tell me..." the old woman said.

After hearing this, Tan Wenshu pondered for a moment and said: "I can only tell that the young man is about sixty-eight or nineteen years old, but I can't tell the depth of his strength.

"There should be some kind of Yuanbao that hides the aura on the body, and there should be no fluctuations in Yuan power.

"It seems that he is the first to participate in the auction, and he doesn't care too much.

"Other than asking Tian that the guest waiting in the room was an honored guest of the Longshan Tan family, he didn't inquire about anything else.

"The old woman next to the young man, judging from her words, should be his servant, the peak of the middle stage of Yuanshen Realm.

"but……"

"What is the problem?"

Tan Wenshu said suspiciously: "That old woman gave me a feeling that she was stronger than the Lake Master.

"Maybe it's my misunderstanding. I've only seen the Lake Master three times, and each time I saw him from a distance.

"Do you need me to find out more?"

The old woman waved her hand and said: "There are still a few days left for the auction. When the auction ends, I will personally arrange for someone to find a chance to test it out."

Then, she looked at the upright young man: "Civilization, the auction is a trivial matter.

"The descendants of Qiu Wei and Liao have already submitted a challenge to challenge you.

"Although the ranking among you juniors on the Hundred Talents List has little impact on the ranking of the Hundred Families of Wenhe, you cannot ignore it.

"We are not one of the sixteen major families, and we still have to compete for the top one hundred families."

"Yes." The young man nodded, "Do you want to check the land-use apartment?"

"No, their purpose is to participate in the auction. They will not go to Longshan City, and they are not qualified to go to Longshan Tan Family." The old woman said lightly, glancing at everyone, "If nothing happens, everyone can go down, Wen Shu will stay. ”

After the words fell, everyone bowed and exited the room.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Only the old woman and Tan Wenshu were left in the room. The former shook his clothes and said calmly.

Tan Wenshu shook his head: "It's nothing."

“You little girl, you rarely come back once in ten years.

"I didn't go home to see you this time. If nothing happened, why would you come directly to me, an old woman?" The old woman said in a complaining tone.

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from the Second Elder." Tan Wenshu shrank his neck and smiled, then walked to the old woman and gently squeezed the latter's arm, "However, I do miss the Second Elder."

The old woman raised her hand, shook off Tan Wenshu's hand, and said angrily: "Don't do this.

"If we, Miss Wen Shu, can make a trip in person, it must be some old guy from Blood Demon Lake who is thinking about my Longshan Tan family's Ziquan Tan."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old woman suddenly stood up from her chair, her vigilant eyes sweeping back and forth across the room.

"What's wrong?" Tan Wenshu was startled by the sudden action of the second elder.

"Just now, I faintly noticed a strange aura peeking out." The old woman's brows were knitted into the Chinese character "Chuan", with a look of vigilance in her eyes.

Tan Wenshu tried to reassure the old woman and said: "Second Elder, this is the secret and dark layer of Tan's Inn. How can ordinary outsiders easily set foot in it?
"What's more, you are already a half-step master of pattern realm. Who can peek quietly without being discovered by you?"

The second elder pondered for a moment and sighed softly: "Maybe I am too nervous and worry too much."

On the other side outside the room, a black shadow quietly retreated to an extremely hidden corner.

The dark shadow is none other than Li Yuan. He has been wandering around the dark side of Tan's Inn without scruples, and accidentally bumps into Tan's party.

"My cultivation level is too low and I still need to work hard to improve it." Li Yuan thought secretly in his heart, "They mentioned Ziquan Tan just now. I was just a little excited and was almost beaten by someone who was only half a step into the pattern realm. The old woman noticed."

He recalled Tan Wenshu's temperament and concluded in his heart: "Tan Wenshu must be a disciple of the Blood Demon Lake among the seven sects of Wenhe, and his talent is obviously better than that of her brother.

"It seems that those listed on the Hundred Talents List may not be the most outstanding juniors among the hundreds of Wenhe families."

After stopping in a hidden corner for a while, Li Yuan swayed and moved towards other areas again.

His figure shuttled through the darkness, like a light shadow, soundless.

.........

"Bam—"

Deep in the darkness of Tan's Inn, a dull and shocking sound of collision of Yuanli suddenly sounded like the roar of a giant beast.

The sound echoed in the closed space, making the heart beat faster and the blood boil.

However, the hustle and bustle of the outside world was isolated by the Yuanzhou formation and the unique formation of the dark layer. Everything was as calm as before, and no one knew about it.

"who are you?"

Tan Wenshu's voice was cold, and he stepped in front of the man in black robe.

The man in black robe was forced by his momentum and had to take a few steps back to distance himself.

With a raised eyebrow, Tan Wenshu's eyes were as sharp as knives. He turned his wrist lightly, and the energy in his palm surged, which instantly turned into a punch, and hit the black-robed man in the face with a fierce wind.

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the man in black robe, but he reacted very quickly and leaned his body slightly to avoid the blow.

The attack failed, but Tan Wenshu was not discouraged.

Transforming his fist into a claw, one claw reached out, trying to tear off the cloak of the man in black robe.

When the claw wind hit, the man in black robe quickly leaned back and skillfully avoided it.

After the man in black robe stabilized his figure, he suddenly raised his hand, and lightning flashed in his palm, gathering into a powerful force.

He let out a low roar and struck Tan Wenshu with thunderous force.

When Tan Wenshu saw this, a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes, and the blood-colored energy burned in her palms like fire.

She faced the black-robed man's attack and struck out with a palm, and the two powerful forces immediately collided violently in the air.

"boom--"

There was a loud noise, and the entire dark layer seemed to tremble at this moment.

The air waves generated by the collision of Yuanli overflowed, tearing apart the surrounding air.

The figures of Tan Wenshu and the man in black robes were looming in the air waves.

Before the air wave calmed down, the two of them punched each other almost at the same time.

"Bam—"

The two pairs of iron fists collided violently like thunder, instantly bursting out with dazzling light and a deafening sound, like the sky and earth shattering, shaking people's hearts and minds.

The surrounding air seemed to be instantly evacuated by this force, leaving a vacuum of silence.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of invisible energy ripples spread from the impact point, like ripples on the water, rippling away in circles, bringing with it waves of howling wind.

Wherever the ripples pass, the space trembles.

Under the impact of this energy, the surrounding walls seemed to feel the violent force and instantly became vivid. Yuan patterns appeared on the walls like fine lines, shining with faint light.

The elemental patterns are intertwined, forming invisible barriers that gradually dissolve the terrifying power, preventing it from causing any damage to the wall.

Under the impact of this impact, the figure of the man in black swayed violently and continued to retreat.

Tan Wenshu's beautiful eyes showed surprise. She didn't expect that the opponent's strength was even better than hers.

Her figure took ten steps back before she stabilized herself. Her pretty face was full of solemnity, and she was secretly vigilant in her heart.

At this moment, the entire space was filled with tension. The two people's eyes met in the air, as if they could create sparks.

The figure of the man in black robes loomed in the darkness, as if blending into the surrounding darkness.

Tan Wenshu, on the other hand, stood in a slightly brighter place, his figure looking extremely firm.

She clenched her silver teeth, her eyes flashed with sharp light, and she shouted: "I want to see who you are... you can actually sneak into the dark layer."

Before he finished speaking, his body was already rushing towards the man in black robe like a strong wind.

The man in black robe faced Tan Wenshu's attack without fear.

"Boom bang bang-"

The fists and feet intersect, the energy surges, every collision makes a deafening roar, and strong winds overflow.

If it weren't for the protection of a powerful elemental formation here, even those solid materials would probably turn into powder in an instant under the impact of this force.

At this moment, Tan Wenshu noticed a strong aura approaching quickly.

The man in black robe was obviously aware of this. After colliding with Tan Wenshu's feet, he quickly retreated with the help of the push.

After a few flickers, it merged into the darkness.

Tan Wenshu wanted to pursue him, but there was no trace of the man in black robe, and he disappeared out of thin air.

A strong sense of frustration arose in her heart, and she was also shocked by the mysterious space escape ability of the man in black robe.

This kind of ability is difficult for even a true master of the Transformation Realm to achieve so smoothly. She couldn't help but begin to doubt the identity and origin of the other party.

In the dark and depressing dark passage, Tan Wenshu stood alone, sensing the fluctuations of energy around him, and his heart was full of doubts and vigilance.

"what happened?"

A few breaths later, the Tan clan members arrived one after another, their eyes scanning the traces of energy surrounding them, with expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces.

It was obvious that a fierce battle had just occurred here, and there were still strong fluctuations of thunder element power in the air.

Everyone's eyes fell on Qianying standing there.

Tan Wenshu's dress was slightly disheveled, but her eyes were unusually determined.

"Wen Shu, are you okay?"

A familiar and concerned voice sounded, and Tan Wenshu came back to his senses from the battle and turned to look at the man walking over.

"Brother, I'm fine." Tan Wenshu shook his head gently.

Tan Wenming carefully checked his sister's body and made sure there was no injury. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Is he the strong man in the inn?"

Tan Wenshu shook her head again, saying that she didn't know the other party's identity either.

Tan Wenming is well aware of his sister's strength. The Tan family's proud daughter has profound cultivation and extraordinary talents.

Even facing his brother, who has reached the late stage of Yuanshen Realm, he still has the strength to fight, and the outcome is still undecided.

Recalling the traces of the battle just now and the pervasive fluctuations of thunder element energy, Tan Wenming couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He knew that the opponent who could fight his sister to such an extent was by no means an ordinary person.

This matter must be reported to the clan elders as soon as possible.

He said to the surrounding tribesmen: "Let's all look around and see if the other party has left any clues."

"Let's go, follow me to see the second elder." Tan Wenming pulled Tan Wenshu away from the scene.

After hearing this, the Tan clan members took action and began to search the surroundings carefully.

.........

In the Tiandeng Zhucui courtyard.

The originally shrouded formation suddenly seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, and a dazzling lightning flashed out from it. Finally, it condensed into a figure wearing a black robe, and fell silently into the small courtyard surrounded by bamboo trees. Inside.

With the arrival of the man in black robe, a majestic soul power surged out like a flood, quickly repairing the gaps in the formation, as if there had never been any damage.

"crunch-"

With a soft sound, a door was slowly opened, and Teng Qing walked out.

Her eyes fell on the man in black robes, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she noticed something, and she asked, "Are you fighting with someone?"

The man in black robe nodded slightly, put the black robe into Yun Ring, and revealed a handsome and calm face, it was Li Yuan.

He whispered: "Let's go into the house and talk."

The two of them walked into the house one after another and the door closed gently.

.........

Deep in the darkness of Tan's Inn.

In a hidden room covered by heavy curtains, the face of the second elder of the Tan family was full of astonishment: "Teleport in space?
"Is it really just a cultivation level at the peak of the middle stage of the Yuanshen Realm?"

Tan Wenshu's eyes flashed with deep thought, and then he said: "When we first fought, I also had doubts.

“However, no matter how I tried, I could never capture a trace of the coercion of cultivation from him.

“Even if they are both at the peak of the middle stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, everyone’s pressure has its own strength and weakness.

"But this person's cultivation is obviously not weaker than mine."

She paused and continued: "I made several attempts with all my strength, but he took them easily, and his cultivation remained the same without any disturbance.

"But judging from the terrifying aura he displays, even if he faces his brother, he is probably capable of fighting."

When Tan Wenming heard this, his face became solemn: "When you returned this time, did you find any other disciples from Blood Demon Lake following you?"

Tan Wenshu shook his head: "No.

"This person's thunder element energy is extremely powerful. Among the disciples of the Blood Demon Lake Thunder Element that I know, no one has such a talent."

The second elder was silent for a moment and whispered to Tan Wenshu: "Such a talent can only be possessed by the genius of the Junyu Lei family.

"The Junyu Lei family is one of the sixteen major families, and their children usually practice in the Lingtian Sect. Logically speaking, they should have no intersection with you.

"Tell me how you discovered this person."

Tan Wenshu nodded slightly and said with a hint of confusion: "Actually, it wasn't me who discovered him, but he took the initiative to show up."

"Show up on your own initiative?"

"That's right." Tan Wenshu continued, "Second Elder, you noticed someone was spying on us secretly. You were right.

“On my way back to the room, when I passed the passage in the center of the dark layer, the man suddenly attacked.

"Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise, I might have been seriously injured by his blow."

The second elder waved his hand, frowned, and said: "He is in the dark, you are in the light, plus the ability to teleport in space.

“If he really wants to kill you, he will never give you a chance to fight back.

"Presumably he must have a high-level treasure on his body."

Tan Wenming pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke: "Thunder-type people don't have murderous intentions. Could it be that it was arranged by the Heyang Tian family?

"They want to take this opportunity to kick us out of Yuanzhou?
“Our Tam ranking has been declining over the years.

"The Heyang Tian family and the Junyu Lei family are similar, so it is possible that there may be some private transactions between the younger generations."
