Venerable Yuan

In the dark dense forest.

Qiu Ji sat cross-legged under the big tree with a gloomy expression, looking into the distance where there were lights in the camp.

"Manager Qiu, what should we do now? Yi Qiushui is already on guard against us and will never let us get close again." Someone beside Qiu Ji whispered.

"The key is that the young master is dead... It's really hard to explain this to the head of the family when we go back."

A look of worry flashed across Qiu Ji's eyebrows. He never thought that this plan would turn out like this.

They tried their best to lure Yi Dong'er away from Yi Qiushui. As long as the young master secretly kidnapped the girl, Yi Qiushui would be under their control.

Unfortunately, these plans were ruined by a bastard who fell from the sky!

The key is that that bastard actually beat Qiu Yang to death! Although Qiu Yang's strength is not very good, no matter how you say it, he is still in the ninth level of Taichu Realm! This is such a cowardly death.

"We cannot allow Yi Qiushui to reach Xuanzhou City safely." Qiu Ji said coldly.

"Now the head of the family has mobilized all his power to pin the strong men of the Yi family to Xuanzhou City, so this is our best chance. If we can't succeed, when Yi Qiushui arrives in Xuanzhou City, the protection around him will be More rigorous.”

"At that time, our Qiu family's plan to get involved in the position of state leader will become a lot more troublesome."

"But now the guards around Yi Qiushui are not weak, and she is very smart. This time when she went to Xuanzhou City, she deliberately spread the news and attracted some young masters from other families who admired her."

"The strength she has now cannot be sustained by our team alone." The person next to Qiu Ji said.

When Qiu Ji heard this, he smiled faintly and said: "My Qiu family has been in Xiaoxuanzhou for hundreds of years. Our management here is not comparable to that of the Yi family who have only been here a few years ago."

There was a sinister look in his eyes as he stared at the camp in the distance.

"Hmph, even the head of the Yi family died in Xiaoxuanzhou, what can a little girl do?"

"And that boy who inexplicably smashed the young master to death. When he falls into our hands, we must let him know what life is worse than death!"

…

Da da!

The horse beast with rising Origin Qi under its feet pulled the large carriage and galloped past on the road. It was extremely fast. If you look closely, you will find that the entire carriage is one foot above the ground, like flying at low altitude through the clouds and fog.

Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged in the carriage, his eyes closed tightly. At this time, his body was exuding a faint luster, which was the Mysterious Saint Body operating.

The blood in his body was also making a boiling sound, and some hidden wounds in his body were gradually washed away by the flow of blood...

The Origin Qi between heaven and earth was also flowing in continuously, and finally turned into wisps of smoke, flowing into Zhou Yuan's body along with his breath.

After burning incense for about a while, Zhou Yuan's eyes slowly opened.

There was a luster in his pupils, making his eyes shine like gems. After a moment, the light dissipated and his eyes returned to normal.

A faint smile appeared on Zhou Yuan's lips.

After several days of practice, most of his physical wounds have now healed, and the originally gloomy Divine Palace is gradually blooming with luster, which is a manifestation of the re-gathering of Origin Qi.

Now, although he has not fully recovered, at least he will not have anything to worry about when encountering enemies in the early stage of the Divine Palace Realm. This can be regarded as having some ability to protect himself.

However, the injuries he suffered this time were too serious. Under the perception of his soul, many parts of his body were broken. Even if he cultivated the Mysterious Saint Body, these injuries would be much slower to repair themselves.

At this time, Zhou Yuan began to understand the power of Taiyi's Green Wood Traces. If he had not exhausted all the Green Wood Traces in his body in the turbulent flow of space, his injuries would have been healed long ago.

"It would be great if there was the essence of ancient wood..." Zhou Yuan scratched his head in distress. With the essence of ancient wood, he could absorb the vitality from it and condense some traces of green wood again.

But it's a pity that the treasures in his Qiankun Bag have long been destroyed in the turbulence of space.

As for some of the precious medicines from the Divine Palace that he had worked so hard to obtain, none of them were left. They were necessary cultivation resources for the Divine Palace realm.

These losses, even with Zhou Yuan's temperament, are heartbreaking and difficult to calm down even now.

While Zhou Yuan was feeling distressed, he suddenly felt the carriage slow down rapidly. He glanced at the sky and knew that Yi Qiushui and the others were going to camp and rest.

…

Many people rushed out, and soon a camp appeared from the forest. The bonfire was rising and the camp became lively.

Beside a bonfire in the center of the camp, Yi Qiushui stood tall and tall in a light yellow dress. Her delicate body looked extremely slender, and her fair skin was slightly rosy under the light of the bonfire.

Beside her, there was a group of men and women laughing and chatting. They were all very impressive and obviously had great status.

However, when they were laughing and chatting with each other, most of their gazes were directed towards Yi Qiu Shui. Obviously, Yi Qiu Shui was the center here.

"Qiu Shui, are you still worried?" A young man with a tall body and a handsome face smiled. He hesitated and said, "Qiu Shui, I think you may have suspected the wrong Qiu family. They may not be planning to kidnap Dong Dong. Son."

"You should also understand Qiu Ji. Qiu Yang's death was mysterious. He will not be able to escape the blame if he goes back."

Some other men and women also nodded slightly. Their families also have some background in Xiaoxuanzhou, but there is still a gap compared with the Qiu family, which has been in Xiaoxuanzhou for hundreds of years, so they don't want Yi Qiushui and the Qiu family to get into trouble. , it will be troublesome for them to be caught in it.

Yi Qiushui frowned and said, "I have found out clearly. Brother Mu Chao doesn't need to say any more."

The young man named Mu Chao flashed his eyes and said with a faint smile: "Qiu Shui, in my opinion, that person from other heavens should simply be handed over to Qiu Ji directly. As long as they stop entangled, we should be able to arrive smoothly. Xuanzhou City.”

"There is no need to break up with them now for a person of unknown origin."

As soon as these words came out, several young people immediately echoed. They already knew from Yi Qiushui that Qiu Yang was killed by a man who was teleported from other heavens.

The key is that Yi Qiushui has been taking good care of the strange man these days, which makes them a little unhappy deep down. After all, in their eyes, a person from another world is no different from a lowly peasant in the countryside. .

If he could throw that person out to attract Qiu Ji's hatred, that would be a good use.

"How could you do this! Little brother Zhou Yuan saved me!" Dong'er, who was beside Yi Qiushui, heard this and shouted quickly.

Mu Chao smiled slightly and said: "Dong'er, it wasn't him who saved you, it was you who saved him. If you hadn't brought him back, he would have died in the wild long ago."

Dong'er was so angry that she wanted to refute.

Yi Qiushui rubbed her little head, smiled lightly at Mu Chao and said, "Thank you, Brother Mu Chao, for thinking about us. However, our Yi family has always had a clear distinction between grudges and we will never do such a thing."

"Besides, I don't think Qiu Ji is capable of anything."

Mu Chao smiled, shrugged and said, "Of course, Qiu Shui, you are the genius who opened the Eight Gods Palace. Not to mention in Xiaoxuanzhou, even if we look at the entire younger generation of Tianyuan Territory, you are quite famous."

"Given time, when you enter the late stage of the Divine Palace Realm, you may not even be able to rank on the Hunyuan Heavenly Divine Palace Ranking."

Yi Qiushui shook her head gently. Her oval face looked particularly charming under the light of the bonfire. She smiled slightly and said, "Forget it about the list of divine palaces. They are all filled with evildoers. Those who opened the Eight Divine Palaces are everywhere."

As soon as the voice fell, Yi Qiushui's bright eyes suddenly moved, and her pretty face looked slightly blankly not far away.

Mu Chao and the others also turned their heads, and then they saw a young figure standing there, it was Zhou Yuan.

Mu Chao frowned. He didn't know how long Zhou Yuan had been standing there, whether he heard what he just said, but he soon smiled casually and didn't care too much.

He's just an unknown kid from outside the realm of heaven. He has no strength and no background. So what if he hears it?

If you really piss him off, you can just crush him to death.

"Zhou Yuan, why did you come out? How are your injuries?" Yi Qiushui looked at Zhou Yuan and asked.

"It's so lively."

Zhou Yuan walked over and smiled. He just glanced at the imposing men and women in Mu Chao, and then looked away. There was no anger on his face, although he did hear what he said earlier.

When Mu Chao saw Zhou Yuan like this, a flash of contempt flashed in his eyes, obviously thinking that the latter was swallowing his anger, which was a sign of incompetence.

Several girls, although not as good as Yi Qiushui, were still pretty, and they looked at Zhou Yuan curiously. After all, the latter's killing of Qiu Yang was a feat, and it would surely be spread in Xiaoxuanzhou in the future. long time.

However, what made them a little disappointed was that although Zhou Yuan looked quite delicate, there was nothing special about him.

Yi Qiu Shui felt a little helpless when she saw how everyone looked at Zhou Yuan. Then she pointed her jade finger at the barbecue on the bonfire, pursed her lips and said, "Want something to eat? I'll have someone prepare it for you."

Zhou Yuan smiled and shook his head. He pondered for a moment and then suddenly asked: "Miss Yi, when we go to Xuanzhou City, will the Qiu family send a strong man from the Tianyang realm?"

Yi Qiushui was a little surprised when he heard this question, and immediately shook his head and said: "A strong person in the Tianyang realm can be considered an elder in the Qiu family. Now I am afraid that he will not be able to leave Xuanzhou City."

Zhou Yuan nodded lightly.

"What's wrong?" Yi Qiushui asked a little strangely.

Zhou Yuan looked at Yi Qiushui's cheeks that looked soft and charming under the light of the bonfire, and said: "If I don't meet a strong person in the Tianyang realm, I can escort Miss Yi to Xuanzhou City, but the premise is that Miss Yi can give it to me now. One hundred essences of ancient trees that are more than five hundred years old."

When Zhou Yuan said these words, there was a sudden silence around the campfire where there were some whispers.

A series of playful and sarcastic glances were cast on Zhou Yuan, whose expression remained unchanged.

Even Yi Qiushui's pretty face became stunned at this moment.
