Lord of Bones

Chapter 641 Conditions for Action
A solemn look appeared on Tan Qiuyun's face.

She knew that what Li Yuan said was not false.

With Ren Zhiyuan's strength, it is indeed not easy to defeat and seriously injure him.

"If you don't have any great contribution, it would be inappropriate for the Tan family's Zi Ling Valley to set this precedent for you." Tan Qiuyun said in a deep voice.

Li Yuan knew clearly that the ancestors of those big sects were not only able to enter the Ziling Valley, but also to practice in the Ziquan Pond and receive the protection of the Longshan Tan family. This was simply because of their strong strength and background.

At this moment, Tan Qiuyun said that there was no precedent, after all, he was not strong enough.

If he can really defeat Ren Zhiyuan and seriously injure him, it means that he has certain potential and is worth the investment of the Longshan Tan family.

After pretending to think it over, Li Yuan slowly raised his head and said slowly: "Just follow what Patriarch Tan said."

The senior executives of the Tan Group, who were originally immersed in discussions in the hall, showed complicated expressions after hearing these words.

Although there was a hint of pain on their faces, they mostly breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no such thing as voluntarily admitting defeat in the challenge of being on the top three list.

Unless the stronger party takes the initiative to stop and give the other party a chance to admit defeat.

Just like the duel between Li Yuan and Fan Zhimeng.

This is the rule on the top three list.

Once the challenge begins, unless one party voluntarily admits defeat, both parties must go all out until the winner is determined.

As long as no one stops, both sides will surely fight to the death.

Generally speaking, in a challenge between children of different families, the stronger party will not leave the opponent a chance to admit defeat.

Otherwise, if the opponent is really killed, the two families will inevitably fight to the death.

After all, the death of a genius is unbearable for the entire family.

"Haha, young friend Li Yuan, then it's settled then." Tan Qiuyun said with a smile.

Li Yuan smiled back, but there was a hint of dryness in his smile.

If we don't seize this opportunity, it will probably take more time and energy to find Ziquantan.

"I wonder when Master Tan wants the younger generation to challenge Ren Zhiyuan?" Li Yuan asked directly.

Tan Qiuyun thought for a moment and said, “Wen Yu and Ren Zhiyuan’s showdown will be in seven days.

"Ren Zhiyuan is already in Longshan City now, so you can set the date of the challenge for three days later."

After hearing this, Li Yuan immediately took out the badge that was shining with a faint luster from his ring.

Without any hesitation, he challenged Ren Zhiyuan of Qingyuan Ren family, who was among the top three on the list of 100 geniuses.

Suddenly, the badge lit up and a beam of light shot straight into the sky.

Once a challenge is issued, the challenge accepter must be in the same position as when the challenge was issued on the day of the challenge.

Otherwise, the ranking on the list will be cancelled.

This is the rule of the Top Three Hundred Prodigies List, and no one dares to violate it.

At the same time, the challenger's position will always be exposed in the badge that matches the challenge to the genius.

This means that during these three days, Li Yuan will become the focus of attention of these geniuses.

However, he was not afraid of other geniuses challenging him.

He was confident that none of the disciples of the Hundred Families who ranked below him in the top three list would be able to last more than ten rounds against him.

The light gradually dissipated, Li Yuan slowly put away the badge in his hand, and said calmly: "Master Tan, since the matter has been decided, I would like to go down and prepare first.

“I plan to adjust my condition in these three days.

"After all, I'm not very confident that I can defeat Ren Zhiyuan and seriously injure him."

Tan Qiuyun nodded slightly, and then said to Tan Wenshu: "Wenshu, take Li Yuan to find a quiet courtyard to rest first.

"If you need anything these days, Li Yuan, just let me know through Wen Shu."

Tan Wenshu nodded slightly, stood up and walked to Li Yuan, smiled sweetly, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Li Yuan, please follow me."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan smiled back and once again clasped his fists to Tan Qiuyun and other senior members of the Tan family as well as the strong men from other families in the hall.

Then he turned around and followed Tan Wenshu.

The two figures gradually walked away, leaving everyone in the hall talking.

They looked at Li Yuan's departing back, their hearts full of anticipation and curiosity.

Can this young man create a miracle and defeat Ren Zhiyuan in the showdown three days later?

As the two left, the discussions in the hall gradually subsided.

.........

In the quiet and secluded backyard of the Tan family, there is a path paved with bluestone slabs and swaying bamboo shadows.

Li Yuan stood quietly in front of an exquisite courtyard gate not far away, watching Tan Wenshu leave.

When the beautiful figure disappeared among the bamboo shadows, Li Yuan let out a light breath and slowly closed the gate.

The gate creaked softly, echoing in the silent courtyard.

The night was as dark as ink, with stars dotted in the tranquility of the Tan family's backyard.

Li Yuan stood in the yard, a light breeze blew past, causing the corners of his clothes to flutter, as if he had merged into the night.

He took a deep breath of the cool air, feeling the quiet night, but his thoughts were surging like waves.

If it weren't for the legendary Purple Spring Pond, Li Yuan would never have hastily launched a challenge and put himself in the spotlight when he had just ranked among the top three geniuses and was the center of everyone's attention.

With his rapid improvement in cultivation and strength, it is inevitable that the Tianyun Sect will have some suspicions.

The Tianyun Sect might guess that he was able to achieve such a fast cultivation speed because he obtained the blood order of the Sperm-Devouring Demon Vine.

If there was such speculation, it would be enough to plunge him into an irretrievable situation.

Then, for Teng Qing, he had to take the risk.

Once Teng Qing's cultivation level recovers to the Huawen realm, he will undoubtedly have an extra powerful trump card, enough to deal with the threat from the Tianyun Sect.

Previously in the meeting room, Li Yuan noticed that there were many strong men in the Tan family who were at the half-step transformation realm.

Some have even reached the peak level of the Half-Step Transformation Realm.

These strong men are the backbone of the Tan family. Their existence forces the Tianyun Sect to think twice before taking action.

What's more, there are many members of the Tan family in the Tianyun Sect.

However, although the Tan family is powerful, it does not have the support of a strong person in the Huawen realm.

If the ancestor of Xuesha Lake comes to Ziquantan in person, once Tianyun Sect takes any action, Li Yuan can use this person to create some trouble for Tianyun Sect.

“Ren Zhiyuan… I have never fought with him, nor have I seen him.

"But as long as he hasn't entered the Half-Step Transformation Realm, if we really fight, I should be able to defeat him, even..."

Li Yuan walked into the room, closed the door gently, walked to the bed and sat cross-legged.

His eyes were slightly closed, and his face looked thoughtful.

"If I don't accept this challenge, even if I can quietly enter Ziquantan, I will inevitably feel guilty towards the Tan family." Li Yuan sighed lightly. Although he had been conflicted before, he finally decided to face the challenge.

“Once this matter is resolved, Teng Qing’s cultivation will recover.

“Then, I can start to inquire about the location of Yin Lei Palace and try to find the other fifteen Earthly Blades of Emperor Yin Lei.

“Before going to Yin Lei Palace, I must improve my cultivation as much as possible and break through to the peak of the late Yuan Shen realm.

"Although it is extremely difficult, as my cultivation level improves and my strength increases, I will have a better chance of survival."

Yin Lei Palace was once a powerful force that was on par with the Seven Sects of Wenhe. There must be many dangers and opportunities hidden in its location.

Faced with such a challenge, Li Yuan must be fully prepared.

The Earthly Blade was tempting enough for him.

With each additional Earthly Blade, his strength would increase slightly.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, as if sucking all distracting thoughts into his lungs, and then slowly exhaled, leaving all worries behind.

He closed his slightly closed eyes completely and began to adjust his state, preparing for the upcoming confrontation.

Inside the room, the soft light of the lamp flickered slightly in the air, dispelling the darkness bit by bit and creating a quiet environment for Li Yuan to practice.

As Li Yuan entered the state of cultivation, his breathing gradually became smooth and deep, as if he had merged with the surroundings.

He felt as if he was in an endless universe, his body was light and his mind was unusually peaceful.

Time seemed to lose its meaning, and only the breath of cultivation flowed slowly in the room.

.........

Three days passed as expected.

Deep in the Tan family mansion, in a quiet courtyard surrounded by green bamboo and climbing roses, two graceful figures swayed in the breeze, as if blending into the surrounding scenery.

The two women had beautiful faces and their eyes and eyebrows were surprisingly similar, but one of them was obviously much older.

The older woman's purple dress swayed in the wind, showing off her perfect body curves, which was both elegant and seductive.

She walked to the stone table in the pavilion and sat down slowly, gently supporting her cheek with one jade hand. Her fingers were long and slender, like carefully carved jade articles, and her eyes were full of wisdom.

"Why hasn't little friend Li Yuan come out yet?
"If we don't go to Longshan Terrace now, it will be too late."

As time passed, the head of the Tan family became a little anxious, but his demeanor remained elegant and calm.

The upcoming showdown is of great significance to the Tan family, and she doesn't want to be negligent in any way.

After all, the outcome of this confrontation will greatly affect the confrontation between Ren Zhiyuan and Tan Wenyu in a few days.

"Don't worry, mother." Tan Wenshu stood aside and comforted her softly, "Although I haven't been in contact with Li Yuan for a long time, from what I know about him, he is not the kind of person who has a vague sense of time."

After hearing her daughter's response, Tan Qiuyun felt a little comforted. After a moment of hesitation, she gently opened her red lips and asked in a joking tone, "Wenshu, are you attracted to Li Yuan?"

Tan Wenshu was so shocked by her mother's sudden question that her pretty face suddenly flushed red. She lowered her head shyly, her voice trembling slightly: "Mother, you...how can you ask like this?
"I've only known him for a short time, how could I..."

Tan Qiuyun smiled slightly and interrupted her daughter's defense: "Mother just wants to remind you that Li Yuan is indeed extraordinary and his strength far exceeds that of his peers.

“To be honest, I was not very confident when I first proposed that he challenge Ren Zhiyuan.

“After all, in the past thousand years, there has never been a genius who can overcome such a huge ranking gap and win.

“What’s more, there is a gap in our cultivation base.

"The fact that he agreed to this matter is enough to prove that his Yuan bone has long evolved into Earth bone, otherwise he wouldn't have such great confidence.

"With such talent, there is a great chance that he will enter the Huawen realm in the future."

Tan Qiuyun's voice gradually became serious, and he stared at his daughter and continued, "Such a genius can only be successful if he has a childhood sweetheart who grew up with him.

"Otherwise, it would be hard to focus on a woman."

Hearing this, Tan Wenshu drooped his eyelids slightly and slowly turned his head to avoid his mother's gaze. He whispered, "Mother, I haven't even entered the late stage of the Yuanshen realm yet, so how dare I think about those children's private affairs."

Looking at her daughter's shy yet determined appearance, Tan Qiuyun couldn't help feeling sad and gloomy. She sighed softly and shook her head.

Not long after, the door in the courtyard slowly opened with a slight creaking sound, and a young man in a blue robe slowly walked out.

The young man had a handsome face and wisdom in his eyes. It was Li Yuan.

He looked at the mother and daughter in the stone pavilion in the courtyard, a trace of apology flashed across his face, and he smiled awkwardly: "Master Tan, Miss Tan, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.

"I suddenly had a new realization while practicing last night, so I was delayed for some time."

Tan Qiuyun stood up, with a warm smile on her face, and said politely: "It's okay, the time is just right.

"It seems that young friend Li Yuan has made further progress in his cultivation. This is really cause for celebration."

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head, "It's just a little progress, not worth mentioning.

"Let's go."

"Yes." Tan Qiuyun nodded gently, "In Longshang City, only Longshantai can hold duels between Yuanshen realms.

"It's about time we get there now."

Tan Qiuyun moved and turned into a bright purple light that shot straight into the sky, like a meteor across the sky.

As the head of the Tan family, she naturally has the privilege of not being subject to the no-fly restrictions in Longshan City.

The purple light drew a graceful arc in the air and rushed towards Longshan Terrace.

Li Yuan and Tan Wenshu followed closely behind.

The three of them moved very quickly and arrived at Longshan Terrace in the blink of an eye.

.........

Longshan Terrace, like the shining pearl of Longshan City, stands proudly on the top of a giant peak thousands of feet high in the east.

The top of the giant peak is extremely vast, covering an area of ​​more than 3,000 feet, and every inch is paved with precious boulders.

The huge stone platform, despite the passage of time and the erosion of wind and frost, still has not left many traces of the years on its surface.

It is said that it can withstand a full-strength attack from a powerful person in the Huawen realm and remain intact.

Surrounding Longshan Terrace are eight giant dragons carefully carved from rare stones.

They are nimble, with shining dragon scales, and each one is nearly two thousand feet long.

These giant dragons are lifelike, as if ready to take off at any time, with their heads held high and their eyes as sharp as torches, as if gazing at the sky.

The giant dragon statue in the center of Longshan Terrace has become the absolute focus.

It looks up at the sky, winding and perching, with its dragon body entwined and its dragon scales shining in the sun, like the soul of Longshan Terrace.

Longshan Terrace is surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland in heaven.

Occasionally, a breeze blows by, and the clouds and mist are blown away by the wind, revealing the majestic appearance of Longshan Terrace.

The sun shines through the clouds and falls on Longshan Terrace, bathing the entire place in golden light.

This has always been the most watched area in Longshan City.

Whenever conflicts arise between some forces and they do not want to trigger a large-scale war, their strongest men will choose to fight on the Longshan Stage.

Longshantai is like a fair referee, silently witnessing all this.
