Lord of Bones

Chapter 626 Tianyun Zuohen
"Wow!"

A sharp and high-pitched bird cry, like a bolt from the blue, broke the silent sky, and the rolling sound spread out, making the mountains and forests tremble.

"It's Cangyun Cat-Headed Crane..."

Li Yuan's heart trembled, and he suddenly flapped the thunder wings behind him. He turned into a flash of lightning and rushed quickly towards a nearby cliff.

He skillfully lifted the vines and entered a hidden cave.

The cave was dark and damp, with a faint musty smell in the air.

Li Yuan used the spiritual pattern of the Life-Devouring Bone to cover up all his breath, pressed close to the cave wall, and carefully observed the movements outside through the gap.

Soon, a huge bird of fifty or sixty feet in length appeared in his sight. It was the Cangyun Cat-headed Crane used by the disciples of the Tianyun Sect.

The Cangyun Cat-Headed Crane exuded a cold aura, and every feather flashed with cold light, as if it could cut through the air.

Its eyes were as sharp as knives, scanning the surroundings as if looking for something.

What frightened Li Yuan was that there was only a figure on the back of this Cangyun Cat-headed Crane.

He was a middle-aged man, wearing a Tianyun Sect robe with fluttering sleeves. He looked dignified and had deep and cold eyes.

"Half a step into the realm of transformation..."

Li Yuan's pupils shrank sharply, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

After more than half a year of escape and experience, his cultivation gradually stabilized in the late Yuanshen realm, and his aura was no longer frivolous.

But it will take at least several years to completely consolidate your cultivation.

However, even if he had not completely consolidated his cultivation, he was confident that he could escape unscathed if he faced a strong enemy like Zuo Feihong again.

However, facing the real half-step into the realm of transformation expert in front of him, he felt an unprecedented pressure.

He could feel the powerful aura emanating from the other person, like a towering mountain, pressing down on him and making it hard for him to breathe.

He must be more careful and not be careless at all.

Otherwise, once your whereabouts are exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.

Li Yuan is not confident enough now that he can easily escape from the hands of such a strong man.

"It's been almost half a year, and you still won't give up?" Li Yuan murmured in a low voice.

He looked at the huge Cangyun Cat-headed Crane in the sky and felt the powerful aura emanating from it.

Although there is only one person on the back of the Cang Yun Cat-Headed Crane, compared with the team of Heavenly Kings encountered before, the deterrent power brought by this half-step Huawen realm strongman is undoubtedly more powerful and deadly.

However, with Xiaobai and Tengqing as his two trump cards, he is not afraid of facing such a strong enemy.

However, neither Xiaobai nor Tengqing could act rashly.

Using their power comes at a price.

Therefore, Li Yuan would never use these two trump cards easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

He took a deep breath, put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind, pressed himself against the wall of the cave, observed the situation outside through the gap, and was ready to deal with any possible crisis at any time.

After a while, the Half-Step Huawen Realm expert rode the huge Cangyun Cat-Headed Crane and circled over the vast mountain forest.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, piercing through the clouds and scanning every inch of land below.

Li Yuan hesitated and thought to himself, "Why did he lock onto this area?
"Did they really find me?"

He recalled the previous search methods of the Tianyun Sect disciples, which were mostly carpet searches, but this time it was different.

After observing for a long time, Li Yuan discovered that the Cang Yun Cat-Headed Crane was circling in a radius of hundreds of miles. Its sharp eyes did not directly lock onto his position, which made him feel a little relieved.

Several hours passed slowly, and the Cangyun Cat-headed Crane in the sky finally flapped its wings tiredly and flew away, eventually turning into a small dot and slowly disappearing at the end of the sky.

However, Li Yuan, who was hiding in the cave, did not dare to relax at all.

He was well aware of the cunning and tactics of the Tianyun Sect. This departure might just be a test by the other party, or it might be an attempt to lure him into revealing his true colors.

.........

As night falls, the light in the mountains and forests becomes dimmer, as if covered by a thick black veil.

Li Yuan's heartbeat gradually slowed down and he waited quietly.

The sky became completely dark, and the stars dotted the night sky.

Only then did he carefully stick his head out and scan the surroundings with sharp eyes.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he flew out of the cave quietly and quickly blended into the night.

"Tianyun Sect..."

Li Yuan silently repeated the name in his heart, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

.........

The night was as dark as ink, and an indescribable eerie atmosphere permeated the desolate mountains and wilderness.

The roars of beasts came one after another, as if a silent battle was unfolding in the dark night.

The stars and the moon were obscured by thick clouds, making them dim and making the entire forest look even more eerie.

The branches and leaves swayed in the night wind, sometimes gathering together, sometimes spreading out, as if countless evil spirits were hiding among them, sometimes poking their heads out, baring their fangs and waving their claws, and sometimes hiding in the darkness and disappearing without a trace.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged in a hidden cave, practicing with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of crisis and his heart tightened.

He quickly stopped breathing and remained motionless.

"Wow!"

Above the night sky, there was a sharp sound of bird calls, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Li Yuan looked up and through the hole above the cave, he saw a huge Cangyun cat-headed crane appear in the night sky at some point.

The Cangyun Cat-Headed Crane continued to circle in an area of ​​hundreds of miles, and its sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness.

Li Yuan was extremely nervous. He felt that he could not continue to sit there and wait for death. He had to find a way to get rid of Cang Yun Maotouhe's tracking.

A night passed, until the dawn broke, the Cangyun Cat-headed Crane finally disappeared from the area.

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but the sense of crisis in his heart did not dissipate.

He knew that this was only temporary safety, and he had to find a way to escape the Tianyun Sect's search as soon as possible.

"Half-step to the Transformation Realm is still too strong, I am definitely not his opponent.

“Let Teng Qing and Xiao Bai take action.

“No, no.

"Even an ordinary half-step Huawen realm requires them to take action. Once they encounter a more powerful existence, they have not yet recovered, and the loss will outweigh the gain."

Li Yuan had no choice but to escape.

For the next half month, Li Yuan traveled through the winding mountains, skillfully avoiding potential crises.

The steep cliffs and dense jungles all became his temporary hiding places.

He hovered on the brink of life and death several times, and every escape made him brush shoulders with death. His heart was beating wildly in his chest, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

It was not until the twentieth day that Li Yuan suddenly felt an unusual breath while galloping on a mountain path.

Li Yuan's heart trembled. Although this aura also belonged to the Half-Step Transformation Realm, it was obviously different from the aura he had been tracking before.

His brows were furrowed, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Did they change people?" Li Yuan guessed secretly in his heart, but then he shook his head, denying this idea and had another guess in his mind.

In the next three months, Li Yuan rushed across the vast mountains like a flash of lightning.

He traveled over 50,000 miles and engaged in a thrilling game with the strong men of Tianyun Sect.

The Half-Step Huawen Realm experts sent by Tianyun Sect were like chess pieces on a chessboard and were precisely arranged in this area.

They set the search area within a radius of 20,000 miles and covered the area surrounding the Jinglan Feng family ruins.

Only five or six hundred such strong men are needed to cover an area of ​​500,000 miles in radius.

However, Li Yuan did not despair.

According to his understanding of Tianyun Sect, it would be impossible to reach beyond this range.

After all, once the scope is expanded, the number of Half-Step Transformation Realm powerhouses required will increase exponentially.

Even for the Tianyun Sect, it would be difficult to send out such a large number of Half-Step Transformation Realm cultivators.

Li Yuan had a plan in mind.

He only needs to move forward firmly in the same direction and travel tens of thousands of miles to escape the coverage of the Tianyun Sect.

At that time, he could find a big city at random and mingle in it.

Even if the Tianyun Sect discovered his existence, they would not dare to capture him openly.

After all, once the secret of Tianyun Sect raising the sperm-eating demon vine is exposed, it will bring unimaginable trouble to Tianyun Sect.

He does not have as strong a background as Xue Yuze, Wei Yuer and Xi Muxue.

Therefore, after escaping from the pursuit of Tianyun Sect, Li Yuan needed to improve his reputation in the Wenhe area.

Only by having enough influence can the Tianyun Sect be feared.

.........

One morning several months later, Li Yuan stood alone on the top of the mountain.

A breeze blew by, the corners of his clothes fluttered gently, and his eyes looked into the distance.

Between the horizon, mountains are stacked up, shrouded in clouds and mist, and the vague outline of the town appears in sight.

A faint smile appeared on his face, as if all the fatigue and pressure were released at this moment, and a sense of relief surged in his heart.

Suddenly, his expression changed suddenly. Sensing a hint of danger, his figure instantly turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, a dazzling flash of lightning suddenly burst out from the dense forest a hundred feet below, and Li Yuan suddenly rushed out from the void.

At this moment, a dazzling white sword energy suddenly streaked across the sky, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and fiercely slashed towards the mountain where he had been standing before.

"Bam—"

A loud bang was heard, and a huge crack appeared in an instant where the mountain was hit by the sword energy.

The entire mountain seemed to be split in half, with broken rocks and dust flying everywhere.

When Li Yuan saw this, a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.

If the sword just now had really landed on him, he would probably have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.

He raised his head and looked towards the source of the sword energy. In the sky, a huge Cangyun cat-headed crane about fifty or sixty feet tall was soaring with its wings spread, and on its back stood a young man.

The man was dressed in a white robe with fluttering sleeves. He held a white sword in his hand with a cold glow on the blade. There was no expression on his face.

"Why did you attack me?" Li Yuan asked.

The man in white looked down at Li Yuan below with a sharp gaze, a sneer appeared on his lips, and he slowly said, "Have you ever been to the Jinglan Feng Clan Ruins?"

Li Yuan was moved when he heard this, but pretended to be calm and asked back: "So what if I've been there? So what if I haven't been there?"

The man in white snorted, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty: "Come with me to Tianyun Sect and explain everything clearly."

Li Yuan shouted without showing any weakness: "What a big tone.

"You have only just entered the Half-Step Transformation Realm. If we really fight, the outcome is still unknown."

The man in white sneered, his eyes revealing disdain: "Even if you and I are of equal cultivation, I can easily subdue you."

Li Yuan responded: "My fellow practitioners are trying to subdue me?
"Among the Heavenly Kings, unless they are on the Thousand Kings List, they are definitely not a match for me!"

The man in white smiled slightly and said, “What a coincidence, before I was promoted to the Half-Step Transformation Realm, I was ranked 976th on the Thousand Kings List.

“Now that I have entered the Half-Step Transformation Realm, you can’t even last three moves under my hands.

"If you were sensible and obedient, you might suffer less."

Li Yuan shook his head, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes: "The Tianyun Sect is really domineering."

The man in white didn’t care and said calmly: “My mission is to bring the last Yuan who left the Jinglan Feng Clan Ruins back to the Tianyun Sect.

"If anyone disobeys, I will kill him on the spot without mercy."

"What a great way to kill him on the spot!" Li Yuan's heart trembled, he took a deep breath, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? I don't kill nameless people."

The man in white looked at Li Yuan with a gaze as sharp as lightning, and said in a cold and firm voice: "Tianyun Sect, Zuo Hen.

"Remember this name, for it will be the last you will ever hear."

Zuo Hen moved, turned into a white afterimage, and swooped down towards Li Yuan at a rapid speed.

The white sword in his hand cut through the void, slashing out an unparalleled sharp sword energy.

Seeing this, Li Yuan curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer.

With a twist of his wrist, a thunder and fire whip was swung out suddenly.

Accompanied by the roar of thunder, a thick bolt of lightning instantly struck the sword energy swung by Zuo Hen.

"boom--"

Lightning and sword energy collided violently in the air, bursting into dazzling sparks.

The sword energy was instantly defeated by lightning, turning into countless fragments that flew everywhere.

However, the residual power of the thunder and lightning was still there, continuing to roar towards Zuo Hen.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zuo Hen's eyes, but he was agile and quickly dodged the lightning attack.

Then he threw the sword in his hand away, and then quickly formed seals with his hands and shouted in a low voice.

Suddenly, the heaven and earth seemed to respond to his call, the wind and snow howled, and ice crystals flew.

Snowflakes condensed into ice crystals in the air, flashing with cold light, dyeing the entire sky silver-white, and countless incomplete elemental patterns emerged.

The temperature around us dropped suddenly, as if we were in an ice cellar.

Li Yuan didn't expect that Zuo Hen could use such a powerful small vein technique directly when facing an opponent who was one level lower than him.

He did not dare to be careless and quickly summoned the Qiankun Ding to mobilize his Yuan power.

Nine-colored divine fire gushed out of the furnace, hot and dazzling, instantly melting the surrounding ice and snow, forming a misty area.

Seeing this, Zuo Hen's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he swung the sword in his hand again.

This time, more sword energy condensed and formed a sword rain, which attacked Li Yuan in an overwhelming manner.

Li Yuan waved the thunder and fire whip in his hand, which continuously collided with the sword energy, making a deafening roar.

Every collision seemed to tear the void apart, and the surrounding trees and rocks collapsed in the aftermath.
