I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Night falls and the wilderness is empty and silent.

The blazing flames quickly engulfed Yan Bei's body.

Zhang Yuan took out the wine jug and wine glasses from the storage space and silently poured three glasses of liquor in front of the campfire.

Send each other on their last journey.

As the saying goes, even though old friends are still friends even when old hair is grey, although Zhang Yuan and Yan Bei had known each other for a short time, he and this chivalrous hero hit it off right away. Unfortunately, they never formed a true friendship and have now parted ways.

The bonfire slowly burned out and the corpses turned into ashes.

Zhang Yuan picked it up and put it into a box he had prepared in advance, then put it into the storage space.

It will then be returned to Yanbei’s relatives.

Looking back in the direction of Yongping City, Zhang Yuan summoned the Gray-fanged Lynx and rode back to Yong'an.

Just as Yan Bei said, the force that set up the extermination array in Yongzhou was not something he could afford to provoke.

Continuing the exploration would only bring unpredictable dangers.

In fact, during the day, Zhang Yuan didn't dare to let the red-eyed crow fly over the city of Yongping.

Because this city gave him a very bad feeling.

As it turned out, Zhang Yuan's intuition was correct.

Yan Bei paid the price of his life for this!
In the evening of the next day, Zhang Yuan returned to the provincial capital before the gates of Yong'an were closed.

He did not hang around in the city, but went straight to Qingfeng Temple.

Meet up with Mo Huaian!
Seeing Zhang Yuan coming back exhausted, Mo Huaian was a little surprised: "Brother Zhang, you're back so soon?"

Zhang Yuan went out to investigate the situation this time and it would only take three or four days for him to return.

He originally needed ten days or half a month.

But the young mage also noticed Zhang Yuan's expression and immediately asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Zhang Yuan did not answer immediately.

He turned around and closed the gate of the other courtyard, then said to Mo Huaian, “Let’s go inside and talk in detail.”

When they got to the hall, Zhang Yuan told Mo Huaian exactly what happened to him in Yongping City.

Of course, he still concealed some details and the parts involving Yan Bei.

It's impossible to reveal it all.

After all, many things involve Zhang Yuan’s own secrets.

"The Heaven-Destroying and Earth-Destroying Yin-Yang Formation!"

After hearing this, Mo Huaian’s face turned pale as paper, and his eyes were dull: “How is this possible!”

The Yin-Yang Formation that could destroy heaven and earth was a set of killing and sacrificial formations that originated from ancient times. It used the heaven and earth as the formation plate and all living beings as sacrifices. The larger the formation area, the stronger its power.

It is said that in ancient times, there was a powerful person who set up a great array of extinction in an area of ​​thousands of miles.

Sacrifice the blood of billions of lives to help oneself reach the supreme realm.

As a result, at the last moment, he was attacked by the will of heaven, and he died without achieving his goal!
Although it is impossible to verify whether this legend is true, the Yin-Yang Formation that can destroy heaven and earth is indeed an ancient wonder formation that really exists. However, the amount of manpower and material resources required to set up such a formation is extremely astonishing.

Zhang Yuan said: "I don't know much about the Heaven-Destroying and Earth-Destroying Yin-Yang Array, so I can't tell whether what Yan Bei said is true or not, but there is indeed an altar built in the Yongping Prefecture City, and there are a large number of cultivators guarding it."

Mo Huaian was silent for a long time.

The young mage raised his head, his face full of bitterness: "Senior Brother Zhang, do you think the sect knows about this?"

Zhang Yuan did not answer.

He believed that Mo Huaian already had the answer in his heart.

Shang Jingtian must know what happened in Yongzhou, but the sect’s top leaders obviously don’t want to get involved.

Or perhaps they are extremely afraid of this matter and therefore dare not intervene!

Of course, it is also possible that Shang Jingtian was involved in this matter.

But Zhang Yuan felt that the possibility of this was very small because of Shang Jingtian’s previous reply to Mo Huaian’s message.

Then the question arises. As one of the ancestral temples of Taoism, Shang Jingtian guards the Qianli Moyuan, and his strength and power are unfathomable.

Who could make the sect so fearful? The answer was obvious.

The Daqian Dynasty, plus the Celestial Clan!
Zhang Yuan suspected that behind this incident, the heavenly beings were using the power of Daqian to make arrangements in Yongzhou.

As for the purpose...

"Hanba."

Mo Huaian said solemnly: "They want to use the Heaven-Destroying Yin-Yang Formation to hunt down Hanba!"

Hanba is an ancient evil creature. Once it appears in the world, it will bring great disaster to the whole world.

But the value of Hanba itself surpasses countless natural treasures.

Its skin, horns, claws, bones, flesh, blood, etc. are all first-class treasures.

The most precious of them is undoubtedly the heart of Hanba, which is said to be able to be used to refine elixirs that can improve the realm of cultivation and prolong life.

Improving realm and prolonging life, these two items alone are enough to drive people crazy!

If the gods knew that a drought demon would appear in Yongzhou, and therefore used the power of Daqian to set up this formation in advance to surround and kill this ancient ferocious beast, then everything would make sense.

For Daqian, this is also to prevent disasters.

As for the tens of millions of people in Yongzhou, they are destined to become victims!

You must know that without the blood sacrifice of a large number of living beings, the Yin-Yang Formation that can destroy heaven and earth will have no way of exerting its power.

When Hanba is born, no one knows how many people will lose their lives because of him.

In the face of such a shocking situation, Zhang Yuan and Mo Huaian could not play any role at all.

Not to mention stopping it.

Mo Huaian smiled bitterly and said, "Yesterday I received another message from the sect. They will send a flying ship to pick me up in a while."

The young wizard said dejectedly: "My training this time is over!"

Zhang Yuan patted his shoulder sympathetically.

Mo Huaian is naive and kind-hearted, and this experience was undoubtedly a bit cruel for a teenager.

But how can we truly grow up without experiencing the baptism of wind, frost, rain and snow?

Zhang Yuan asked, "Has your uncle not come out of retreat yet?"

"No."

Mo Huaian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He now guessed that the reason why his uncle had been in seclusion for a long time was to stay out of trouble.

Zhang Yuan thought about it and said, "Then let's go back."

As for his last wish and promise to Yan Bei, he had to think carefully and not act rashly.

The safest option now is to return to the sect.

After all, Zhang Yuan also has to be responsible to Mo Huaian.

Yong'an City is not safe now.

Mo Huaian nodded without any objection.

Only five days later, a flying ship came from the clouds and landed in the front yard of Qingfeng Temple.

Because they received the message in advance, Zhang Yuan and Mo Huaian boarded the spaceship as soon as possible.

Qi Chen returned to the sect.

It took the two of them a long time to get to Yong'an City, but now it only took two days to go back.

When Mo Huaian returned to Shang Jingtian, he was like an eggplant hit by frost, and his whole body was wilted.

It will probably take some time to adjust my mindset.

This has nothing to do with Zhang Yuan.

He rested peacefully in Shang Jingtian for a few days until his internal injuries were completely healed.

Then he accepted a Taoist mission and left the mountain gate again. (End of this chapter)
