Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 135 Stealth
After Li Fan took out the demon pill, he looked towards the direction of the demon army again.

The rules set by the Peacock Demon King are that if one side is unable to fight again, it will admit defeat.

He has killed three big monsters in a row. Those monsters are probably already afraid. If one or two more monsters come out, and he kills them again, no one on the other side will dare to come out and die.

Sure enough, although the demon army was powerful, they were all looking at this side silently at this moment.

"This human cultivator has a very strong attack power, and can even cause harm to me. This should not be his full strength." His offspring whispered beside the Peacock Demon King.

Before, when he was hunting humans in Yunmengze, it was this human who struck him with a sword.

However, he did not get entangled with the other party at that time. He did not expect that he would become the person who controls the war situation now. If he had known this, he should have captured him in Yunmengze at that time.

At that time, he didn't know that Li Fan was the human monk his father was looking for.

Upon hearing this, the Peacock Demon King narrowed his sharp eyes and stared at Li Fan. How could the person that the Demon Saint specifically asked for be a simple person?

He was naturally aware of the strength of his offspring. He was nearly invincible among the demons in the four realms and had few rivals. Yet, a human practitioner in the out-of-body realm could actually cause him harm.

This means that if Li Fan unleashes his full strength, no demon in the third realm will be able to withstand his sword.

In this case, there is no need to continue this battle, and we have to think of other ways.

He stared at Li Fan, and suddenly, a brilliant light burst out, and the body of the Peacock Demon King disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Li Fan only saw a beam of light shooting towards him, extremely fast.

"not good……"

Li Fan's expression suddenly changed. This Peacock Demon King actually came down in person?

The army of human practitioners were still shocked by Li Fan's strength when they saw the beam of light, and their brains had no time to react.

"boom……"

There was a loud bang, and a figure seemed to appear out of thin air in front of Li Fan. Then Li Fan felt a horrible gust of air blowing him away, and when he landed, his steps continued to retreat.

Looking up, he saw the old man from the White Deer Academy standing in midair, confronting the Peacock Demon King opposite him. His robe fluttered, and his powerful magic covered the area. He stared at the Peacock Demon King and angrily scolded him, "You are the Demon King of Yunmeng Lake after all, how dare you behave so despicably?"

The army of human practitioners also reacted and started to curse angrily.

Extremely shameless.

The Yunmengze Demon King can’t afford to lose?

The Peacock Demon King stared at the old man standing in front of him with sharp eyes, thinking to himself that the old man was so fast. He was aware of his own speed, and suddenly made a move to take the man away, but the other party was able to catch up.

Over at Bailu Academy, Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat when she saw the Peacock Demon King take action. She didn't expect the Peacock Demon King to take action. It seemed totally unreasonable.

After all, he is a demon king-level figure. Even if he loses this battle, what is the point of a demon king personally killing a junior, other than embarrassment?

She didn't know that the Peacock Demon King didn't want to kill Li Fan, but wanted to take him away.

Seeing that it couldn't be done on the battlefield, he had to try it himself.

Although it is a bit embarrassing, what the Demon Saint ordered is more important.

"We admit defeat in this battle." The Peacock Demon King glanced at the old man with his evil eyes, turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and saw the old man still standing there looking at him. The Peacock Demon King smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else. I'm just a little curious about what the human cultivator who defeated the genius of my Yunmengze Demon Realm looks like."

As he spoke, he floated forward, returned to the front of the demon army, and waved, "Retreat."

The demon army seemed unwilling to give in. They roared and stared at the direction of the human army, then poured into the Yunmengze like a tide.

The ground suddenly shook, as if it was going to crack the earth.

The Peacock Demon King did not look back. His body soared straight into the sky, turned into a beam of light and fled into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

It was as if to him, everything that had just happened had never happened and was unimportant.

Bailu Academy frowned slightly as he watched the Peacock Demon King disappear. He felt that this matter was weird and something seemed wrong.

The invasion of the demon world came suddenly and retreated suddenly, as if it was a joke, or as if it was a whim of the other party.

But is it necessary to launch such a large-scale campaign on a whim?

So, there must be something fishy going on.

But he didn't know the specific reason, he just felt it was extremely strange.

After sensing that the Peacock Demon King had gone away, the old man turned around and glanced at Li Fan. A voice reached Li Fan's ears: "Don't let anyone know who you are. I'll keep an eye on the academy."

Li Fan was stunned, then bowed to the old man.

It seems that the old man knows his identity.

But this is normal, after all, he has been to Bailu Academy and has taken action.

As for keeping him from being exposed, it was naturally to protect him.

The Peacock Demon King's last move was very strange. The old man was not sure whether the big demon in Yunmengze would cause trouble for Li Fan again, so he reminded him. "Thank you for saving many lives." The old man's voice came again, and then he walked back. If it weren't for Li Fan ending this war, I'm afraid many more people would have died.

Li Fan looked at the old man's back and felt a little admiration for the teacher from Bailu Academy.

Be it Mr. Qu or this old man, they are indeed people of great bearing. Bailu Academy is a place for imparting knowledge, and there may be treacherous ones among the disciples, but as teachers, they must be people with faith in their hearts.

Otherwise, they would not have to stay in Bailu Academy to preach.

This old man's cultivation is the same as that of the Peacock Demon King, he is at the sixth realm, above the Nascent Soul realm.

Li Fan also walked back. The crowd burst into thunderous cheers. Countless eyes fell on him, curious about who was under the mask.

But then several figures walked out from the crowd. They were Duan Feng and others. They stood in front of Li Fan and took Li Fan out.

"Who are you, young man? Are you a student of Bailu Academy, or a descendant of a noble family?" People around came forward and asked.

"Young man, why don't you show your true identity? Don't worry, even if the demon wants to take revenge, the people of Yunmeng City will protect your safety."

"Make way." Duan Feng led Li Fan to squeeze out, while Lin Yumo said in a cold voice: "Have you ever thought about this, if the Peacock Demon King wanted to take revenge and sneak into Yunmeng City, how many people could stop him?"

When the people around heard her words, they thought they made sense and gave way.

Li Fan quickly passed through the human army and ran towards Yunmeng City.

He was more concerned about the court knowing his identity and fearing trouble.

In the direction of Bailu Academy, the old man looked around at the crowd and said, "Don't discuss or be curious about who they are when you go back. The Peacock Demon King's last-minute move was probably not a good one. As disciples of the academy, you need to understand the situation. If anyone makes malicious speculations, they will be expelled from the academy."

Everyone's heart trembled. People like Huang Xiong and Lu Yuan who knew Li Fan's identity naturally would not spread it. They also understood that the old man was protecting Li Fan.

Duan Feng and his companions saw him off all the way. When they returned to Yunmeng City, Li Fan bowed to them and said, "Thank you very much for the escort."

"Brother Ji, you are too polite. We admire your demeanor very much. It's a pity that we cannot announce your identity to the public. When there is a chance in the future, we will definitely make you famous." Duan Feng said with a bow.

Li Fan nodded slightly, thinking that Ji Feng would definitely thank you.

What does Ji Feng’s fame have to do with me, Yang Qingshan?

However, he still needs to be cautious for now. He plans to concentrate on practicing for a period of time, stay at home and avoid trouble from the outside world.

"Seniors, I will take my leave first." Li Fan bowed, and after both sides said goodbye, Li Fan turned around and left quickly.

"It's really free and easy. It's a pity that such a demeanor is unknown to people, like walking in brocade clothes at night." Duan Feng said. If he had such a demeanor today and killed demons and made them tremble with fear, he would have to tour Yunmeng City for seven days and seven nights, letting the people of Yunmeng City admire his demeanor. How happy it would be.

"We know his name. We can look for him quietly without announcing it to anyone. How about that?" Lin Yumo said, wanting to get to know a genius like Li Fan.

"That makes sense." Duan Feng's eyes lit up. Since he knew the name, he should be able to find out.

With their influence in Yunmeng City, it should not be difficult to find the person if they proceed quietly. As long as they don't mention it to outsiders, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
"Then let's do it."

Duan Feng showed a cheerful smile, but Li Fan had already left quietly, found a secluded place, took off his robe and mask, and walked in Yunmeng City with his real face and returned to his house on Bailu Street.

The house was quiet. Liu Ji went to the academy to practice with Mr. Qu, so he was the only one here.

However, such a quiet atmosphere is more suitable for practice.

Li Fan took out the demon pill and entered a state of cultivation, striving to break through to the late stage of the out-of-body realm this time. After that, he would be able to impact the foundation-building realm.

The courtyard was quiet, but Yunmeng City was extremely lively. What happened in the previous battle spread at an extremely fast speed, and the whole Yunmeng City knew about it within just one day.

Lu Yuan and Huang Xiong became famous after one battle.

Now, countless people in Yunmeng City worship Lu Yuan as a goddess.

Apart from Lu Yuan, the most talked about topic was the mysterious genius practitioner, who shocked the group of monsters with his nearly invincible posture. He killed a monster with one sword, and after three swords, the monsters dared not to come out.

Ji Feng was drinking and chatting with people in a restaurant in Yunmeng City. He was a free and easy-going person by nature. He came to Yunmeng City to send his sister Ji Xue to Bailu Academy. He made a lot of drinking buddies when he had nothing to do.

Ji Feng felt very happy when he heard that the mysterious cultivator had killed three demons in a row. Although he was a playboy, he also admired these geniuses. They were really amazing, but it was a pity that they didn't let anyone know their identities.

In Bailu Academy, Ji Xue was walking on the road and heard people around her talking about Lu Yuan and the mysterious man. She was filled with emotion.

Not long ago, she was also the center of attention, but now no one remembers Bai Lu Qing Yin. Of course, that was not her in the first place.

At the gate of Yunmeng City, there is a constant stream of practitioners coming and going.

Among the crowd, there was a figure in a gorgeous robe dragging the corpse of a monster towards the city, attracting a lot of attention.

"What a great harvest." Someone praised the demon corpse when he saw it. The demon corpse must be worth a lot of money.

"Not bad." The man smiled and nodded, then continued walking towards the city. After entering the city, he looked towards the wide street in front of him and the crowds of people coming and going. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, with a bit of evil in it, and his deep eyes seemed to have colors.

"Yunmeng City."

The man murmured and walked forward.
