Chapter 13

"Hahaha..." The two Sages laughed after hearing Li Yuan's words. Suddenly, they sensed danger and quickly retreated.

Li Yuan clicked his tongue and said: " As expected of Sages.".

The two sages became alarmed by Li Yuan as they noticed extremely thin needles stabbing the ground.

"Don't worry. I have enough toys to entertain both of you all night" said Li Yuan as the 5 knives appeared above him. He rushed toward them.

The two sages were enraged because a Qi Gathering Realm has made them retreat. How could they face the other sages if they know about it? The two decided to kill Li Yuan in the most horrible way to appease their anger.

Suddenly, Li Yuan throw a formation plate and made a dome form above him and the sages.

"We don't want to bother others with our fight." Said Li Yuan.

"You damned brat!" One of the sages punched toward Li Yuan with all of his might. Terrifying Qi waves covered his fist as it headed toward Li Yuan.

Li Yuan didn't stop and another formation plate appeared in front of him. The plate shone with light as a diagram appeared in its place.

The fist slammed into the diagram and caused it to tremble lightly. The sage was stunned by the fact that an attack containing all of his power was easily stopped.

Li Yuan raised two fingers and said: " Mirror of Hell, rebound it!".

Sage's face changed greatly as he felt terrifying power come from the diagram.

BOOOOOOM!

the Sage was sent flying while coughing blood and slammed into the walls of the dome. He didn't know how could a mere Qi Gathering Realm brat could have such formation!

The other sage has already appeared beside Li Yuan and a terrifying hammer came down on his head. But, another Diagram appeared and protected him. The Sage was prepared after seeing what has happened to his companion. He backed away after the attack but something unexpected happened!

The Diagram moved to Li Yuan's back and exploded which sent him flying toward the wounded sage.

"No!" Yelled the sage.

By using the Sage' strength, Li Yuan rushed the wounded sage in an instant. Of course, the wounded sage still could react to him and attacked. But, Li Yuan activated the Void Domain and made the already sluggish movement of the wounded sage more sluggish.

He twisted his body in an abnormal way which caused the sages to hear cracking sounds coming from Li Yuan's body. This abnormal movement allowed him to avoid the sage's attack. Then, a small diagram appeared on the tip of his finger and tapped the wounded sage's forehead. Li Yuan's movement was extremely fast as he activated the special ability of his armour. This amour increased his speed by one fold for one second. And it was more than enough for Li Yuan.

The second sage has already appeared beside the wounded sage and his hammer stuck Li Yuan's head.

"That diagram didn't appear!" The sage was ecstatic as Li Yuan was about to be obliterated by his hammer. Suddenly, without any warning, Li Yuan disappeared and the wounded sage appeared in his place.

The two sages looked dumbly at each other as the hammer struck the head of the wounded sage and crushed his head. Then, the dumbfounded sage felt a sharp pain in his back. Five needles, which were coated with Mind Devouring Poison and four other poisons, were stabbing his back.

His eyes widened and fell on the ground with his body convulsing violently.

Li Yuan looked at the sage who was convulsing with emotionless eyes. On his forehead, a diagram that is similar to the one on the wounded sage's forehead was written on it and it started to slowly fade away.

"How?" A weak voice came from the poisoned sage.

"Knowledge." Said Li Yuan calmly. He watched the sage slowly die and stretched his body.

"That was quite a good exercise." Said Li Yuan as he made the dome disappear. He used it to trap the sages with him and no make sure none of their auras will be noticed by anyone. He then put the bodies of the two sages in his storage ring as they will have some use in the future.

He patted on his clothes to remove the dust on them before heading back to the city. When he reached the clan, he saw that the banquet was still going and he entered. When he saw Qin Yin, he became speechless. Qin Yin's face was bright red and her head was lowered as Shi Xueyun continued to ask her many questions.

Qin Yin noticed that Li Yuan has returned and quickly asked him" Where did you go?". She wanted her mother to stop asking these embarrassing questions in front of him. So, she looked at her with pleading eyes.

Shi Xueyun nearly laughed out loud but resisted the urge. She gave Qin Yin a wink which caused her face to turn red.

"Its nothing important." Said Li Yuan as he sat on his chair. He took the closest wine jar to him and started drinking from it.

Qin Yin's eyes suddenly stopped at him and exclaimed: "You are wounded!". She is a Sage Realm and her senses were sharper than before which allowed her to sense that there some of Li Yuan's bones were broken.

Li Yuan as he continued to drink and didn't say a word. Qin Yin stared at him silently. How did he get hurt? When he was travelling with her, he was never injured by anything! Yet, now he is like this.

"Since you don't want to tell me, I will use my own ability to figure it out" Thought Qin Yin.

The banquet continued until nearly most of the people got drunk. Only Li Yuan, Qin Yin and the servants were the only sober ones. Looking at the mess that was a banquet, Qin Yin couldn't help but be embarrassed.

"My Clan is quite special. They love wine too much," said Qin Yin.

Li Yuan looked at the unconscious people lying on the ground and a smile appeared on his face.

He remembered a memory of his 1st life, the figure of a woman appeared on his mind.

"Little brat, let us drink wine until we get wasted! Huh? You are afraid that you might do something improper to me? Hahaha... Let me tell you, this miss doesn't mind!".

"Hahaha... Look at you! The Heaven Burning Sect's Chosen, Scarlet Peak could barely handle a cup of my wine!".

" Scarlet Peak, don't you dare die! This miss only have you as drinking partner!"

Li Yuan looked at the moon and sighed. He remembered the image of a woman leaning on the grave tombstone of Scarlet Peak with a Wine Jar in front of the grave. The sad smile on her face, while her lifeless body leaned on the grave tombstone, caused Li Yuan's mood to sour.

He decided to spend some time alone. So one of the servants led the way to the room that the Qin Jia prepared for Li Yuan.

Entering the room, he sat on the bed and started cultivating. He dissolved the 6th Layer of Seven Waves Pill and the Qi filled his Dantain. He quickly reached the 9th stage of the Qi Gathering Realm. He didn't stop and dissolved the final layer of Seven Waves Pill making his cultivation reach the 10th stage of Qi Gathering Realm.

Li Yuan opened his eyes and said: "I will make the Tier 5 Body Morphing Elixir when I return to the Profound Heart Sect.". He estimated that he spent around three days in his cultivation. He left the room and came out to look for Qin Yin.

Qin Yin was happily chatting with her parents when she noticed Li Yuan. There was a box in front of her which caused Li Yuan to stare at it. Qin Yin saw that he was staring at the box and said" I found this box in a shop and felt that it is quite special. And from how you stare at it, I assume that I made the correct decision."

Li Yuan grabbed the box and tapped it in a few places.

"I have tried to..." Qin Yin became silent because she saw the box that couldn't be open with her strength open after a few taps from Li Yuan. She walked to his side and saw a green leaf that radiated a strong life force.

"What is this leaf? The Life Force coming from it is extremely strong. Even stronger than Sages!" Said Qin Yin.

"The Life Force Essence! I have never thought that you will find one here as they are extremely rare and only found in the Elves Forest." Said Li Yuan with fiery eyes.

For Li Yuan, the Life Force Essence is the strongest Essence as it has an important ability, extremely strong regenerative ability that allows him to heal almost all injuries. Even if his internal organs were crushed and his bones were grinded to dust, as long his head wasn't completely destroyed, he will never die!

That why Li Yuan felt this essence is extremely important for him. And he never thought that he will find it at the early Cultivation Realms! He thought that once he reaches the Martial King Realm, he will go to the Elves Forest and get some. But, Qin Yin found one here!

Suddenly, he became speechless as he thought of a possibility. Qin Yin might be an extremely lucky person.

Some people are born with extremely good and terrifying luck that makes everyone jealous of them.

In Li Yuan's 100 lives, he only met three people with such luck. And one of them was an enemy. The huge amount of resources, time and effort needed to kill that person caused him a severe headache. Every time he was about to deal the killing blow to him, something unexpected happens which allows that person to escape. And he will come back stronger than before. Only after meticulous planning and many Tier 9 weapons and formations, he killed that person. But, Li Yuan ended up dying with him because some fucking formation chose to stop working and caused a severe backlash at him. Even though it shouldn't kill him, he still died by it which left him speechless for many years.
