Emperor Qiankun

"The New Year is approaching..."

Li Qingyuan raised her head slightly, letting the snowflakes caress her cheeks, and whispered softly:

"I hope Zhao Sheng can wait until after the New Year to come, so that everyone can have a peaceful and stable New Year!"

After saying this, he sighed deeply, his eyes still gazing into the distance, as if he wanted to see the future through the snowflakes flying in the sky.

......

But at this moment, a strong sense of crisis surged into Li Qingyuan's heart.

The next moment, he felt a sound of breaking air coming from the distant void. The sound was like a sharp thorn, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Without time to think, a light flashed in his eyes and he used the Eye of Time and Space without hesitation.

In an instant, his eyes seemed to turn into stars that could see through everything, and his sight seemed to penetrate the layers of fog and falling snowflakes, extending to the endless distance.

At the end of his sight, he saw a scene that made his heart sink:

The night was as dark as ink, and the mysterious energy around an old man in purple clothes turned into surging purple clouds.

He clasped his hands together and stood on the giant sword with the two of them. The runes on the sword flickered with dim light, like a giant beast crawling.

The three men rode their swords like purple lightning, rushing towards them. Wherever they passed, the air exploded and the accumulated snow turned into fog.

Li Qingyuan recognized at a glance that one of the women with a graceful figure and charming face was Chen Zixuan.

The young man on the other side had a stern face and his eyes revealed an innate arrogance and sharpness. It was Zhao Sheng who left a deep impression in his memory.

Seeing this scene, the identity of the old man in purple is self-evident. He must be the powerful second elder of the Yunyin Sect, a super strong man in the king realm!

......

Seeing this, Li Qingyuan didn't hesitate at all. He activated his profound power and shouted, "The enemy is invading!"

This loud shout was like the sound of a huge bell, instantly breaking the silence in the Li family mansion.

In an instant, everyone in the Li Mansion who was originally immersed in sleep was startled by the sudden shout.

Lights were lit one after another, and tightly closed doors were flung open.

Everyone looked towards where Li Qingyuan was, sleepily but in panic.

Li Qingyuan's face was solemn. Without any unnecessary words, he shouted again, "Everyone, get into the tunnel and take shelter immediately!"

As he spoke, a crystal clear jade talisman appeared in his hand.

This jade talisman was a life-saving item given to him by Elder Hua, and there were only three of them in total.

At this moment, Li Qingyuan did not hesitate at all. He squeezed the jade talisman hard, and it shattered and turned into fluorescent spots that dissipated into the air.

After doing all this, his figure disappeared like a ghost, and he rushed straight towards the city gate.

........

Li Changtian stood in the courtyard and saw Li Qingyuan's solemn expression. He immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Without asking any more questions, he waved his hand and shouted, "Everyone, don't panic. Follow me into the tunnel!"

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the tunnel. His eyes were firm and steady, giving everyone a reassurance.

Su Yaoyue stood in the crowd, her eyes full of worry.

Her eyes followed Li Qingyuan's gradually receding figure until he disappeared into the night.

However, she also knew that if she followed Li Qingyuan at this moment, she would not only be unable to help, but would become a burden to him.

She gritted her teeth, suppressed the worry and uneasiness in her heart, turned around and walked into the tunnel with everyone else.

In a moment, the Li family mansion became empty, with only snowflakes still falling quietly, covering all traces.

.......

Li Qingyuan stood on the city wall of Heishan City, gazing at the distant horizon with a sharp gaze.

His perception told him that the three purple-robed old men were approaching at an alarming speed.

Not long after, a broad and huge sword emitting a cold light crossed the sky like a stream of light and hovered steadily in the air outside Black Mountain City.

The old man in purple stood on the giant sword with his hands behind his back, his eyes as sharp as an eagle. The moment he glanced at the city wall, he caught sight of Li Qingyuan's tall figure. He couldn't help but frown slightly, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

Chen Zixuan recognized Li Qingyuan at a glance. Her eyebrows raised slightly, a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes, and she thought to herself: This guy is still alive?

But soon, this astonishment was replaced by deep disdain.

In her heart, Li Qingyuan was just a person with mediocre talent.

A year ago, he was just a small figure in the Body Tempering Realm who was struggling at the bottom of the cultivation level.

Even after a year, with his aptitude, he could only barely break through to the seventh or eighth level of the Tongwu Realm, which was already his limit.

On the other hand, during this year, thanks to the dual cultivation method with Zhao Sheng, my cultivation level has soared like a meteor chasing the moon.

Now he has broken through to the third level of the Purple Mansion Realm, and the gap between him and him is huge.

........

Thinking of this, Chen Zixuan raised her chin slightly, her expression cold, as if a queen high above was giving orders to her humble subjects, and said coldly:

"Li Qingyuan, open the city gate, we want to go in."

At this moment, she had completely regarded Li Qingyuan as a small guard of the Black Mountain City, and her arrogance and contempt were evident in her words.

After hearing this, Li Qingyuan's mouth corners involuntarily rose, outlining a meaningful smile.

This familiar tone instantly reminded him of his previous life. The last time he saw Chen Zixuan, she also spoke to him in this commanding tone.

But times have changed, and he is no longer the same person he used to be, so the ending is bound to be different.

If it weren't for the fact that the oppressive aura emanating from the purple-clothed old man was too strong, forcing him to be cautious, he might have already taken action and taught Chen Zixuan a lesson!

......

At this moment, Chen Zixuan saw that Li Qingyuan ignored her orders, and her face suddenly darkened and looked extremely ugly.

She snorted softly, her chest heaving violently, obviously very angry. She was about to open her mouth to scold again, but was interrupted by Zhao Sheng who was beside her waving his hand.

Zhao Sheng narrowed his narrow eyes slightly and looked Li Qingyuan up and down. After a moment, he finally recognized the person in front of him.

He showed a disdainful smile and said coldly:

"Even after being struck by my sword, you're still able to linger on until now. I have to say, you're incredibly lucky!"

Facing Zhao Sheng's provocation, Li Qingyuan showed no sign of weakness. He sneered and said slowly:

"That's all. Last time it was just a momentary oversight on my part. If it happens again, you'll definitely die!"

......

When Zhao Sheng heard Li Qingyuan's words, anger surged in his heart.

He knew that the other party was trying to provoke him, but as the closed disciple of the second elder of the Yunyin Sect, how could he tolerate such provocation from a country boy?

However, his face remained expressionless, and his eyes were fixed on Li Qingyuan with burning intent.

He tried to sense Li Qingyuan's cultivation from him, but found that he couldn't see through it!
