An Unfathomable Origin
Zhang Yan noticed that the green-clothed youth spoke as if he knew him. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and take a closer look at the person.
The youth had delicate features and wore an embroidered robe. His skin was as white as a virgin's, and he looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. However, there was a layer of green gas that looked like oil covering his body, adding a bit of evil aura.
Ever since Zhang Yan started cultivating, he would never forget anyone he met. He had never seen this person before, and after looking at him for a long time, he found that the other's aura was unfathomable. He couldn't see through the depth of his cultivation, so he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
The green-clothed youth put his sleeves behind his back and said with a playful smile, "Fellow Li, you don't know me, but I know you, and I know your ability. Since we've met here, if you're willing to submit to me, I can let bygones be bygones for all the previous grievances. "
When Zhang Yan heard this, his heart moved.
The other only called him "Fellow Li". Obviously, he didn't know his true identity. He should have recognized him after he changed his appearance, and most likely only found out when he was secretly spying on him. From his words, it seemed that there was some conflict between him and him …
His mind turned and he guessed a few possibilities, but he couldn't be sure.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the green-clothed youth laughed and waved his hand. Suddenly, the cluster of deep green light on his body suddenly attacked like a torrential downpour.
Zhang Yan's feet didn't move, and his expression didn't change. He looked coldly at the green light coming at him and raised his palm.
As he raised his sleeve, a gust of violent wind and fierce waves were instantly stirred up, and a whistling sound actually sounded out as it collided with the green light. A bang was heard, and the cluster of green light seemed as if it had been washed away by a rushing wave, and it suddenly swung backwards.
However, the green light looked as thin as smoke, but when it was hit by this fierce attack, it actually collapsed into a big ball and didn't dissipate.
Zhang Yan's eyes turned cold. Without withdrawing his hand, he stomped on the ground and exerted force on his shoulder. His palm pressed against the green light and he suddenly took a step forward!
"Boom!" The cliff shook and a hurricane suddenly rose from the ground, pressing forward with the momentum of a raging wave. The green light was forced back by the momentum of a mad wolf and was no longer as flexible as before. It immediately shrank back a few feet and shook violently like a candle in the wind, as if it would collapse if a little more force was added.
The green-robed young man grinned, as if he couldn't withstand the pressure. His body leaned back in the air, and with a snort, he rolled up his sleeves and withdrew the mysterious light. Then, he raised his eyebrows and reached out to Zhang Yan, shouting, "Fellow Li, stop …"
A cold look appeared on Zhang Yan's face. Not only did he not stop, but he also let out a loud roar as he leaped forward and threw a punch at this person!
When this punch came out, it exploded out a howl that shook five kilometers. The fist pressure surged like a surging wave and shocked clouds, and it suddenly pounced towards the young man.
The young man in green felt as if he was drawn into a sticky vortex, and the pressure around him increased greatly. He actually found it difficult to move and couldn't move his body. His face couldn't help but change. He knew that it was a critical moment, and he couldn't care about anything else. He hurriedly released the green light again and gathered it into a ball to protect himself.
Zhang Yan punched out and hit the young man in green's shoulder, causing him to stagger. The layer of green mysterious light also dispersed like clouds and mist.
With just this slight gap, the young man in green retreated and struggled out of the battle circle. Then, he leaped up and transformed into a green light that fled into the sky.
Hou Sanlang, who was standing in the sky, had been paying attention to the battle. At this time, he saw that the young man in green had fallen into a disadvantageous position, and Zhang Yan still wanted to pursue him. He hesitated for a moment, took out two Rainbow Thunder Beads, and slashed them towards Zhang Yan!
At the same time, the young man in green let out a strange laugh and transformed into a green light that flew towards Hou Sanlang. He took advantage of the momentum and swept Hou Sanlang up. The light was extremely fast, and in an instant, they were dozens of feet away.
"Boom!" The sound of an explosion came from the cliff, and the sky was filled with black clouds of smoke and fire.
When Zhang Yan came out of the smoke unscathed, he looked up and saw that the two people were already far away.
At this time, the young man in green's extremely cheerful laughter faintly came from the sky. He said, "Li Yuanba, I also know your ability, but now is not the time for you and me to fight. If we continue to fight, both of us will suffer. As long as you don't hinder me, I won't trouble you for the time being, haha …"
As soon as the voice fell, the green streak of light turned a few more times and hid behind a distant peak, completely disappearing without a trace.
Zhang Yan watched for a moment, raised his hand in front of him, and couldn't help but frown.
When he finally dispersed the green light, he only felt as if thousands of sharp needles had pierced his palm and fingers. At first, there was a feeling of numbness and itchiness, but then it became almost undetectable.
He raised his other hand and made a cut on his arm, pulling out a wound that turned his flesh upside down. Then, he circulated his Xuan Qi, and two strands of green gas that were like living things, but only as long as a human finger, were forced out. He then clenched his fist again, and the wound was healed.
He could feel that after this thing entered his body, it could slowly devour the flesh and blood essence. If he hadn't discovered it in time, it would have become a serious problem after a long time.
Fortunately, he cultivated an ancient Devil Art, and didn't need to be watered by external medicines like normal Strength Cultivation Arts. His body was pure and refined, unparalleled among his peers, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest contamination, which was why he was able to discover the anomaly in time.
This strand of light was strange and unpredictable, and it was impossible to guard against. If an ordinary cultivator was invaded by it, they wouldn't even know they were being ambushed, so it was definitely not some Xuan Sect's method.
However, this method was somewhat familiar, and Zhang Yan stood on the spot, thinking for a while, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
He shook his head, and if he couldn't figure it out, then there was no need to think about it. Finding the Zoysia Ancestor was the most important thing at the moment, and everything else could be cast aside. If he encountered this person again, it would only be another battle.
His eyes flashed, and he moved his feet, returning to the cave abode.
The azure-clothed young man rode the streak of light for over 50 kilometers before he slowed down. He stretched out his hand to touch his shoulder, and he felt waves of pain coming from there. He couldn't help but grimace. Even though he'd already used the profound light to protect himself, he was still hit by Zhang Yan. Even though he wasn't heavily injured, his bones were broken and his flesh was torn.
He snorted, and actually took out a One Qi Zoysia from his sleeve, opened his mouth, and swallowed it. He then rubbed his shoulder, and after a while, the injury there disappeared.
He licked his lips, and thought to himself, 'This body's foundation is too shallow, and it's really too weak. Coupled with the suppression of this formation, I can't even use ten to twenty percent of my abilities. However, if I can swallow a few more high grade Zoysia, this Li Yuanba might not be my opponent. Oh well, before I succeed, I should avoid this person first …'
While he was thinking, Hou Sanlang had been observing the young man's expression, and now he asked carefully, "Venerable One, why didn't you kill this person just now?"
The green-robed young man snorted. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Hou Sanlang. Two cold bolts of lightning shot out from his black and white eyes, piercing straight into Hou Sanlang's heart. Hou Sanlang shuddered and immediately shut his mouth.
The green-robed young man looked at him, and chuckled, and said, "You asked me why I didn't kill him, and I'll tell you. This Li Yuanba's cultivation is not shallow, and I pity that his cultivation is not easy, so I want to take him under my command. That's why I pretended to be defeated, and took the opportunity to do something to him. With his cultivation, he won't do anything now, but after a year or so, even without me urging him, he will obediently come to me."
When Hou Sanlang heard this, he could not help but think of the strange method that the young man had used on him. He secretly hated in his heart, but he did not show it on his face, and flattered, "When the Venerable One takes action, it will naturally be successful."
The green-robed young man seemed to enjoy such flattery very much, and laughed loudly, and said, "That's not bad. Originally, I didn't have much confidence in dealing with the disciples of the Shi, Yan, and Wu families, and I thought I would have to wait for a few months. But now that you have presented this magic treasure, I no longer have to worry about these juniors."
Hou Sanlang's face stiffened. This magic treasure was originally lent to the Hou family by the Xiao family, and he originally wanted to use it to find a high-grade medicinal mushroom in Mount Qingcun. But who would have thought that he would be careless that day, and this person's mysterious light would invade his body? In order to save his life, he had to take the initiative to present this magic treasure. Now that he mentioned it, he could not help but feel his heart drip blood.
The green-robed young man's laughter spread far and wide without any scruples, but who would have thought that it would provoke a passing spirit light to turn around and fly in their direction. When it stopped in front of the two again, it was a middle-aged scholar with a wide forehead, black robe, and a long beard. He held a cold dagger in his hand, and it was stained with blood. It was obvious that he had killed someone not too long ago, and he was looking at the two with an unfriendly expression.
Hou Sanlang opened his eyes and saw that he recognized this person. He glanced at the green-robed young man and saw that he had a mocking expression on his face, but he had no intention of speaking. Hou Sanlang coughed and took the initiative to speak, "Are you Senior Brother Wu Lan?"
The middle-aged scholar frowned, looked him up and down, and said, "You recognize me?"
Hou Sanlang hurriedly said, "I am under the Hou family of Kang Yin. Previously at the banquet at the lotus pond with my ancestor, I have seen Senior Brother from afar. Until now, I have not forgotten Senior Brother's grace."
"So you are under the Hou family." Hearing this, Wu Lan's expression relaxed a little, and he put the dagger behind his back, and said in a low voice, "Why are you still here? Could it be that you did not see the flying letter that the Wu family sent out? On this Nine Peaks, other than the people of the Wu family, no one is allowed to pick herbs here, or else they will become the enemy of the Wu family! "
If it was someone else here, he would not have the patience to speak, and would have already slashed with his sword. But although this Hou family was not a big family, and could not compare to the Wu family, it still had a heritage of nearly a thousand years. They were both Xuanmen aristocratic families, and there was some friendship between the elders, so he had to give them some face.
Hou Sanlang hurriedly said, "I have just arrived here, but I did not see it."
Wu Lan swung his sleeve, and said with a cold face, "Now that you know, then leave quickly!"
At this moment, the green-robed young man laughed and a strange light appeared in his eyes. He stroked the back of his hand and said, "Oh, so you're saying that in this Nine Heads Mountain, only the Wu Clan is left?"
