Lord of Bones

Chapter 675 Stay for a while

"Miss Ruan, after this attack, I'm afraid the energy in your body has been exhausted."

When the thunder dragon pressed down, Li Yuan sent a message to Ruan Ningmeng.

"For a while, you just need to pretend to be unconscious. You should be able to avoid the surveillance of Tianyun Sect today."

The next moment, the colorful thunder dragon roared and crashed into the center of the black square.

In an instant, the entire square seemed to be engulfed in a sea of ​​thunder.

Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the area within a radius of hundreds of feet was covered by violent thunder and lightning.

"What kind of elemental technique is this kid performing?"

On a high platform in the audience seats, Yin Yu frowned, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he quickly ordered: "Open the protective shield!"

As soon as the words fell, a layer of energy light film immediately rose from the edge of the black square.

The light film was like a huge transparent bubble, covering the square. The Yuan patterns on it were flowing and flickering, emitting a faint fluorescence.

However, at this moment, from the sea of ​​thunder in the center of the square, a terrifying energy shock surged out like a flood, breaking through the sea of ​​thunder and heading straight for the protective shield.

Li Yuan, who was standing in the square, flashed and instantly appeared beside Ruan Ningmeng.

He grabbed Ruan Ningmeng's slender wrist, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he used spatial teleportation to take Ruan Ningmeng away from the spot and appeared outside the square in an instant.

Li Yuan, who looked rather embarrassed, took a slight breath, and after steadying himself, he glanced towards the still roaring square.

He murmured softly, "This protective shield really doesn't have the ability to isolate space, otherwise I wouldn't be able to teleport out so easily."

"Bang bang——"

On the Black Stone Square, the terrifying energy shock wave turned into a huge wave and violently hit the protective shield.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the protective shield, as if waves were surging in the sea.

The surrounding void was distorted by the impact of this force.

After a while, the sea of ​​thunder in the square completely dissipated, the dust settled, and everything returned to calm.

Li Yuan looked at Shui Xuan, who was standing on the stone platform with a dignified face, and asked, "Thirteenth Elder, am I the winner of this duel?"

Shui Xuan's gaze fell on Ruan Ningmeng, who was already unconscious and was being carefully supported by Li Yuan.

She frowned slightly and used her soul power to explore, and found that Ruan Ningmeng's internal energy had been exhausted, obviously caused by the shocking blow just now.

Looking around, the spectators in the square were silent because of the deterrent power of Tianyun Sect. Finally, Shui Xuan cast his gaze on the great elder Shui Qing on the stone platform.

Shui Qing nodded slightly, indicating that she could announce the results.

Shui Xuan then retracted her gaze and looked at Li Yuan, with a bit of reluctance in her tone: "You win this duel."

Hearing this, Li Yuan raised a faint smile, glanced at Shui Qing, and then asked Shui Xuan:
"According to the agreement made by the elder of Shuiyun Peak of Tianyun Sect, can I take Ruan Ningmeng away now and leave Tianyun Sect directly?"

Shui Xuan heard this, her face darkened, and she shouted coldly: "Boy, Ruan Ningmeng is a genius that I, Shuiyun Peak, have spent countless efforts to cultivate, how can you just take her away as you say?

"Do you know how much natural resources and treasures were consumed to transform that piece of Yuan bone in her body into Di bone..."

"Thirteenth Elder, stop." Li Yuan interrupted Shui Xuan and looked at Shui Qing, "Grand Elder, you are the pillar of Shuiyun Peak, and you are also the planner and witness of this duel.

"Do you want to deny the result of this duel in front of so many Yuan people, in the name of Tianyun Sect, or do you not want to recognize the previous agreement?"

"Damn boy!"

When Shui Qing heard this, his face turned pale instantly. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, and snorted coldly.

He didn't expect that Li Yuan would be so disrespectful in front of so many powerful people from the Tianyun Sect.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the square was extremely tense.

Countless pairs of eyes stared at the stone platform, waiting for Shui Qing's decision.

"Great Elder, if we let Li Yuan take Ruan Ningmeng away, then the things that Master Shui Jing left behind won't be able to stay in Tianyun Sect." An elder of Tianyun Sect reminded anxiously, "We can't leave that thing behind. We won't be able to explain to the ancestors of Tianyun Peak."

Shui Qing's expression changed constantly, and he naturally understood in his heart.

The things cannot be left behind, which is undoubtedly a huge loss for the Tianyun Sect.

If he were in the Tianyun Sect, he would definitely do something he would not admit.

At this moment, facing so many Yuanzhe forces, it was really difficult for him to do such a thing.

After all, any action that violates the agreement will undoubtedly seriously damage the reputation of the Tianyun Sect.

"It's hard to break the contract without a good excuse."

Shui Qing's mind raced, and suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind: "Li Yuan, Ruan Ningmeng is seriously injured and unconscious, so let's take her back to Tianyun Sect for treatment.

"The Tianyun Sect has high-level alchemists and bone-retaining masters, who will definitely ensure that her foundation is not damaged at all."

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry about Miss Ruan's injury, Great Elder.

"Since she has already left the Tianyun Sect, her injuries should naturally be the responsibility of the Jingshui Ruan Clan."

As he spoke, his eyes searched the crowd and finally fixed on a silver-haired old woman with a worried look on her face.

He shouted loudly: "Master Ruan, please take a look at Miss Ruan's injuries.

"If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to ask."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan flashed and used space teleportation to appear in front of Ruan Manqiu.

He carefully handed Ruan Ningmeng to Ruan Manqiu and whispered in her ear.

"Senior, please rest assured, Miss Ruan only suffered some minor injuries and is not seriously injured.

“In order to prevent being discovered by the elders of Tianyun Sect, she no longer has any energy left in her body.

“There may be some chaos here in a while, and the experts from Tianyun Sect may not have time to notice you for the time being.

“At that time, you will give Miss Ruan a few pills that can instantly restore her vitality, and then follow the previously agreed route and leave while the chaos is going on.

"If we are destined to meet again in the future."

After finishing his explanation, Li Yuan glanced at the two middle-aged men not far away, Li Yuanlong and Li Lieyang.

They nodded in understanding, indicating that everything was ready.

Li Yuan used space teleportation again and reappeared in the black square.

At this moment, the scene in Shui Qing's eyes was still at the moment when Li Yuan handed Ruan Ningmeng to Ruan Manqiu.

His mind was like being struck by lightning, and memories came flooding back.

Back then in the Baobian camp, the young man in blue robe who used the void-tearing technique and lightning to cover his face, his figure overlapped with Li Yuan in front of him, exactly the same.

He also recalled that in the Jinglan Feng family ruins, when the wisp of his soul attached to Ding Su'e was destroyed, the pervasive soul power was strikingly similar to the aura on Li Yuan's body.

"So it's you, kid." Shui Qing felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. He was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he had to suppress his inner anger.

He said viciously in his heart: “Whether it is the Baobian Camp or the Jinglan Feng Clan Ruins, it was this kid who ruined my good deeds.

"His cultivation level has improved so quickly, he must have absorbed the Mother Order from Su'e and received help from the Spirit Devouring Demon Vine.

"Today, no matter whether it's the map left by Shui Jing or the whereabouts of the sperm-eating demon vine, I will not let it go!"

Just as Shui Qing's thoughts were racing, Li Yuan's voice broke the silence: "Everyone, the duel is over, everyone, please disperse."

Before everyone could react, Li Yuan raised his Yuanli and prepared to use space teleportation to leave, but the expected voice sounded faintly behind him.

"Li Yuan, please stay for a moment.

"There is something going on in the Tianyun Sect, and we need your cooperation to verify it."

The speaker was Shui Qing, and every word he said was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of all the Yuan people present.

Li Yuan turned around and faced the Tianyun Sect warriors on the stone platform, as if there was an invisible pressure on him.

But he did not back down, and simply asked calmly: "Great Elder Shui Qing, what's the matter?"

The tense atmosphere in the square was like a taut string that could break at any time.

The Yuanists in the audience seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and they all cast their eyes towards Shui Qing on the stone platform, their hearts full of doubts and curiosity.

The duel was over and the winner was decided, so why did Shui Qing suddenly speak out to stop Li Yuan?
What exactly needs to be verified?
Did he regret his earlier decision?
Shui Qing slowly stood up, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring at Li Yuan closely.

"I wonder if you have been to the Baobian Camp near the Wenmang Mountains seven years ago?"

His voice was low and cold, as if it came from the underworld, carrying an indescribable chill.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone whispered to each other, trying to find out more information from each other's words.

Shui Qing ignored these voices. When he looked at Li Yuan, there seemed to be a volcano hidden in his eyes that could erupt with terrifying anger at any time.

Facing Shui Qing's questioning, Li Yuan's face remained calm as water, and he asked back: "So what if I've been there? So what if I haven't been there?

"Could it be related to today's confrontation?"

Shui Qing's eyes moved between Li Yuan and Ruan Manqiu, and he spoke slowly:
“Back then, this old man and Patriarch Ruan were discussing today’s duel at the Baobian Camp, and we were obstructed by a mysterious person.

“That man used thunder to cover his face, so I can only vaguely remember that he was wearing a blue robe and his figure was exactly the same as yours, Li Yuan.

"The spatial teleportation he performed was exactly the same as the one you performed.

“More importantly, he took away an important person that the Tianyun Sect was pursuing.

"I had forgotten about this matter, but seeing you again today reminded me of it."

At this point, Shui Qing's eyes suddenly opened, and he shouted loudly: "I dare to conclude that the one who took the person pursued by Tianyun Sect away from me back then was you, Li Yuan!"

This shout was like a thunderclap in the square, instantly freezing the already tense atmosphere.

All the Yuan people looked at Li Yuan in unison, as if they were looking for the answer from him.

The entire square fell into deathly silence, with only Shui Qing's voice echoing.

This depressing atmosphere makes it almost hard to breathe.

Seven years ago, no one in the Wen River Basin knew the name Li Yuan.

At that time, Li Yuan was only in the middle stage of Yuanshen Realm. Even if he was more powerful, how could he take someone away from Shui Qing, who was at the peak of Half-Step Huawen Realm?
However, since Shui Qing said so, everyone felt that this must be true.

Before Li Yuan could respond, Shui Qing's voice came to his ears: "Li Yuan, don't even think about leaving today.

“Back then at the Jinglan Feng Clan Ruins, you were the one who killed my daughter and beheaded my soul. It was you, right?

“Come back to Tianyun Sect with me. As long as you tell me the whereabouts of the Spirit Devouring Demon Vine, I promise to introduce you to the ancestor of Tianyun Sect.

"I believe that with your talent, it is not impossible for you to advance to the Huawen realm in the future."

"Today is the first time that I meet the Great Elder." Li Yuan was indifferent to Shui Qing's message and spoke lightly without a trace of emotion in his voice.

He looked directly at Shui Qing and continued, “If the Great Elder insists that I took away a person that your sect was pursuing from you seven years ago, can you tell me the name and identity of that person?
"Let me see if I've ever met one before."

Li Yuan's attitude made Shui Qing's face look extremely ugly.

He didn't expect Li Yuan to respond to his question so directly, without giving him any face at all.

Shui Qing's gaze swept towards Ruan Manqiu again, his eyes full of scrutiny and coldness.

After a moment of silence, as if he was weighing something, he finally said in a cold voice: "Master Ruan, you should know the identity of that person."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan immediately turned to Ruan Manqiu and asked, "Master Ruan, did you personally see me taking someone away from Great Elder Shui Qing seven years ago?"

Ruan Manqiu sighed softly, her eyes moving between Li Yuan and Shui Qing, and said, "Back then, I did see Elder Shui Qing and that guy at the Baobian Camp.

"However, as to whether you really took that person away from the Great Elder, I was not present at the time, so I really don't know."

Although her voice was not loud, it was unusually clear in the silent square.

Ruan Manqiu turned her gaze to Shui Qing, and her tone was more unquestionable:

"Great Elder, the person you are pursuing has nothing to do with me.

“Whether he was taken away by Li Yuan, I really don’t know.

“I hope you won’t involve me and Ning Meng in this.

"I need to heal Ning Meng's injuries now, so I won't accompany the Great Elder to continue investigating what happened back then."

Ruan Manqiu no longer paid attention to Shui Qing, but turned around to help the unconscious Ruan Ningmeng up and carefully placed her on a stone bench beside her.

She pretended to carefully check Ruan Ningmeng's injuries, her face full of concern and worry.

Li Yuan sneered, his voice revealing a bit of disdain: "Great Elder Shui Qing, I have no intention of arguing with you.

“If you don’t have solid evidence, it’s better to be cautious.

“Although the Tianyun Sect is strong, its reputation is also heavy. If it is damaged because of this incident, I am afraid it is not what you want.

"As for whether I stay or go, it is naturally up to me to decide. You have no right to interfere."

After saying that, Li Yuan moved, trying to use space teleportation to leave this dangerous place.

However, Shui Qing shouted, “Sorry.

"Li Yuan, before I find out the truth about this matter, you must follow me back to Tianyun Sect and stay there for a while."

As Shui Qing shouted, a powerful force surged out of his body and swept across the entire square.

Immediately afterwards, among the thousands of Tianyun Sect disciples surrounding the stone platform, hundreds of figures suddenly flashed out like lightning.
