At night, the desert was slightly cold.
Seven cultivators from the Thunder Sect stood on a tall sand dune.
The leader was Qi Jinghai, whom Yu Yuan had met not long ago in the courtyard of the Minor Thunder Firmament Sect.
The other six people followed his lead and formed a formation, surrounding the dozen or so other humanoid creatures.
One cluster of cyan lightning bolts after another shot out of the six lightning element sect cultivators' palms, enveloping the humanoid outsiders and gradually destroying their souls.
After being struck by the lightning, the dozen or so human-shaped outsiders' flesh was torn apart, revealing their golden bones.
They wailed, and the blood that flowed out was also golden liquid.
Qi Jinghai's face was dark, and there was no emotion in his eyes. Under his command, the dozen or so humanoid aliens slowly turned into piles of charcoal.
After that, only golden skeletons were left.
With a thought, Qi Jinghai suddenly raised his head and saw the famous Meteor Star Eyes of Haoran, made from the shard of the moon under the night sky.
Qi Jinghai called out softly, "Junior Apprentice Sister Liu."
Liu Ying poked her head out of the Falling Stars Eyes. Her beautiful eyes shone with an innocent and pure luster. She smiled faintly and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Qi. Greetings, Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters."
The Seven Great Inferior Sects were secretly fighting amongst each other. On the surface, they seemed to be in harmony with each other, and often referred to each other as Senior Brother and Junior Sister.
"I met some mixed-blood bastards."
Qi Jinghai pointed at the charred golden skeletons and said to Liu Ying, "They're Golden Bones from the depths of the starry river. They're the remnants of the Golden Bones that were left behind in our Haoran heaven and earth. Back when the Demons and dragons ruled this world, they weren't strong enough. I'm afraid some Golden Bones invaded Haoran. "
When the Ancient Era's Monster Clan and Dragon Clan were mentioned, the cultivators of the Lightning Sect had disdainful looks on their faces.
Before the human race could find a way to absorb the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, refine it into the Yellow Courtyard Microcosm, gather Qi and blood in the Mystic Gate of the Middle Dantian, and condense the Niwan acupoint and soul, the dragon race was the overlord of this world. They worked together with the ancient great demons led by the demonic phoenix to protect Haoran.
In that era, Haoran Heaven and Earth wasn't the center of the universe, and it wasn't famous in the depths of the vast starry sky.
That was why Heavenly Devils from other realms would often invade this place. Experts from other races, such as the Golden Bones and Asuras, could easily break through the barriers in the starry river and enter this place.
Many of the current hybrids were born during that era.
Qi Jinghai was a human, and so were the cultivators from the Thunder Sect. They mocked the Haoran of that era because they felt that the Haoran of that era was too weak.
Qi Jinghai didn't recognize Yu Yuan, who had returned to his original appearance, standing on the Falling Star Eyes.
In truth, when they were in the courtyard of the Minor Thundersky Sect, Xie Bin had requested Yuyuan to stay in the house and only watch from the window. Qi Jinghai wouldn't have minded it. After all, the Minor Thundersky Sect was just a small character that wasn't worth mentioning.
At this time, Yu Yuan was also on the Falling Star Eyes with Liu Ying. Only then did he pay attention to Yu Yuan's background.
"A hybrid of the Golden Bones and the human race..."
Yu Yuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the golden skeletons that were left after being annihilated by lightning.
At this moment, the disciples of the Thunder Sect took out exquisite carving knives and cut off the flesh of the golden skeletons, keeping only the golden skeletons and putting them into their mustard seed bracelets.
From the looks of it, those golden skeletons should be of some value.
In his previous life, Yu Yuan also knew that in the current Haoran world, there were some hybrids who hid their identities and lived in the various empires, remote islands in the deep sea, or strange lands. They lived in their own way.
However, in his previous life, he didn't have much contact with such people. Those hybrids also rarely showed up.
At the very least, they didn't dare to show up openly.
This was because the three great sects, as well as the sects led by the Devil's Palace and the Goblin Temple, all thought that they were impure. They thought that they could be easily incited by the outsiders and stand against them.
They thought that they were a hidden danger...
In short, the native human cultivators and monsters of the Haoran world didn't have a good impression of these hybrids.
Yu Yuan didn't expect that these hybrids would suddenly come out from remote areas and enter the Crimson Fire Desert.
Just now, Liu Ying had said that the five great sects had clearly announced that they wouldn't allow them to set foot in the Crimson Fire Desert.
Those who didn't abide by the rules and dared to enter would be killed without mercy!
However, there were still such hybrids, Earth Demons, and evil beings coming from all directions and arriving at the Crimson Fire Desert.
Liu Ying didn't know the reason, and Yu Yuan didn't know the situation, but he knew that there must be something else.
"Junior Sister Liu, this Junior Brother looks a bit unfamiliar. Is he a new disciple of the Star Luna Sect?" Qi Jinghai asked, seemingly unconcerned.
The Meteoric Eyes were Liu Ying's personal item. Except for special occasions, she didn't even allow people from her sect to enter.
When such an unfamiliar face suddenly appeared in Liu Ying's Meteor Eyes, Qi Jinghai naturally had some thoughts, which was why he asked this question.
Liu Ying glanced at Yu Yuan with a smile, thinking about how to introduce him.
"I'm not from the Star Luna Sect. My name is Yu Yuan, and I'm from the Dark Moon City of the Demon Moon Empire."
Yu Yuan didn't change his appearance. When he saw Lin Yue, Kong Banbi, Zhan Tianxiang, and the others, his identity would immediately be revealed. Since there was no need for him to hide it, he openly introduced himself.
Immediately afterwards, he took the initiative to move closer to Liu Ying, and stood almost shoulder to shoulder with her.
Their shoulders were touching. At such a close distance, anyone who saw them would feel that there was something unusual about their relationship.
Liu Ying was surprised.
She had known Yu Yuan for such a long time, but she had never seen this guy act so close to her in front of so many people.
It was she who had extended an olive branch to Yu Yuan in the Desolation Abandoned Land, when he had dared to come to the Realm of Stardust, and had taken the initiative to invite him to go into the sea with her.
What was going on today?
Liu Ying was puzzled. However, since she had never rejected Yu Yuan in the depths of her heart, when Yu Yuan acted so close to her, she actually had some expectations …
"Yu Yuan!"
"Yu Yuan from the Dark Moon City!"
"So it's him!"
Down below, the young disciples of the lightning element sect looked up at the floating Meteor Eyes and Yu Yuan after putting away the golden skeletons. Their expressions flickered slightly.
Yu Yuan's name had unknowingly spread throughout the entire Haoran!
At such a young age, without any sect to rely on, without any terrifying battle prowess, he had shocked all of the lightning element sect disciples present.
In this heaven and earth, Yu Yuan was the only one who could do this with such an identity!
"Qi Jinghai of the lightning element sect greets Young Brother Yu."
Qi Jinghai, who had an imposing appearance, bowed slightly after saying his name. Then, he clasped his fists at Yu Yuan and said, "I've heard a lot about you."
His expression didn't change. His eyes were calm, as if there were no ripples in them.
Yu Yuan sneered inwardly, but his expression didn't change. He nodded and said with a smile, "I've heard of your name. You're the one chosen by the lightning element sect to be the next sectmaster."
With these words, he casually grabbed Liu Ying's fair forearm and pulled her into the Meteor Eyes. "I have an appointment with Zhao Yafu and Kong Banbi. Since we've already greeted each other, let's not waste any more time."
Liu Ying smiled sweetly and nodded.
She turned around, her slender waist swaying slightly. Like an ethereal little fairy, she followed Yu Yuan into the Meteor Eyes. "See you next time, Senior Martial Brother Qi."
She didn't even turn her head. As she spoke, she kept her back to Qi Jinghai.
The Meteor Eyes suddenly shot up into the sky like a silver cloud.
"Senior Martial Brother Qi?"
A lightning element sect disciple who knew the inside story wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.
Qi Jinghai's gaze followed the Meteor Eyes until it disappeared into the distance.
"Remember why we came to the Crimson Flame Desert." Moments later, he snapped out of his daze and said to the others with an expressionless face, "Clean up the battlefield. We'll continue our search."
…
"You know that Qi Jinghai likes you?"
At the center of the Meteor Eyes, Yu Yuan took out plates of sparkling fruits from his mustard seed bracelet and pushed them in front of Liu Ying. "Two years ago, when we were in the Desolation Lands, I promised to plant them for you."
"Really?!"
Liu Ying picked up a bunch of purple crystal grapes and examined them with narrowed eyes. Then, she said happily, "They're more delicious than the ones I've eaten before, and they contain more spiritual energy."
Yu Yuan smiled and said, "Of course."
"You planted them especially for me?" Liu Ying's eyes curved into crescents.
"Yeah, I planted them for you in the Desolation Lands, near the island at the center of the lake." Yu Yuan smiled.
Liu Ying's face was full of smiles as she stuffed a grape into her mouth and bit into its sweet juices. Her beautiful eyes lit up, and then she said, "Qi Jinghai is a boring person. If he likes me, that's his business. It has nothing to do with me. He's too calm, and his eyes are full of thoughts. He's like a little old man. I don't like him. "
Yu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle as she watched Lin Mengya finish a bunch of Amethyst Grapes in a short time.
"What? How did he offend you? " Liu Ying picked up a fiery red persimmon and said while peeling it, "You used me to anger him. Aren't you afraid that he'll come after you?"
She was smart and knew everything. Naturally, she could see that Yu Yuan was acting so close to Qi Jinghai because he disliked him.
"Before Qi Jinghai came to the Crimson Flame Desert, he asked Xie Bin of the Thunder Sky Sect for the Frost Thunder Seal in Azure Phoenix City." Yu Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth. "I was there at the time. I only changed my face. Qi Jinghai didn't care about a small character like me at all."
"You know Xie Bin?" Liu Ying was surprised.
"Yeah, we have some history." Yu Yuan didn't go into the details. "Anyway, I don't like Qi Jinghai. I don't want him to be happy."
"You're really full of evil tricks. Now that Qi Jinghai has been targeted by you, I'm afraid his trip to the Crimson Flame Desert won't go smoothly." Liu Ying chuckled.
"Liu Ying!"
"Meteor Eyes! Save us! "
Below, there were people shouting and screaming for help.
Yu Yuan looked down and saw a dozen Cloudwater Sect cultivators surrounded by three demonic shadows.
The three demonic shadows passed through them, causing the Cloudwater Sect cultivators with lower cultivation to suddenly fall to the ground and roll their eyes.
