Chapter 722: Chapter 214: Awaiting Celestial Thunder, Assisting the Lotus Sect, Devouring the Flower Shop, Mirror of Evil Formed

His strength has increased, but he’s become less cautious with basic things like this.

No.

It’s not that he’s become less cautious; it’s just that his level was too low, and being at his own doorstep, he didn’t pay much attention.

Who would have thought it would lead to such a blunder?

’I’m really getting old, not as capable as before.’

Li Yuan sat on the roof ridge. On the ground, Sixth Grade Pigmen warriors were rushing by with knives, and in the sky, warriors of the Fifth Grade flew past. Yet, like a transparent person, no one could see him.

He quietly drank wine, enjoying the night scene of his hometown.

When he finished drinking two jugs of Spring Brew, he raised his hand and gently grasped.

The two wine jugs were instantly absorbed into his palm and vanished.

His true form was now actually a mountain over a thousand meters tall. For a mountain to absorb two small wine jugs was a piece of cake.

Not to mention two small jugs, even if Li Yuan swallowed a few houses, it wouldn’t be much of a problem.

This was part of the power Li Yuan gained after reaching Celestial Soul Third Grade and merging with a mountain.

However, whether it’s a small jug or a house, once absorbed by Li Yuan, it would be compressed into a dense form and no longer have its original function, so it doesn’t serve as "storage space."

After drinking and watching the commotion, Li Yuan was ready to return.

Just then, he suddenly heard a roar from afar.

He turned sideways, gazing into the distance.

He saw a courtyard suddenly lit up brightly.

Four Pigmen were surrounding a robust man with a buzz cut.

The man clenched his fist, sharply scanning around, shouting, "Come on, haven’t you always wanted to capture grandpa? Grandpa Han Tianli is right here, come on!"

Saying so, the man who called himself Han Tianli flexed his muscles and started fighting against the four Pigmen.

Han Tianli moved straightforwardly. A punch would often burst a cloud of smoke in the air.

This method Li Yuan recognized; it was indeed the power of the Red Lotus Sect.

But the Pigmen were using techniques Li Yuan had created: Demon Blade, Overlord Blade, Absolute Blade.

Demon Blade was agile and unpredictable, Overlord Blade was powerful and steady, Absolute Blade left no retreat...

All were at the Sixth Grade, with individual strength roughly equivalent. How could the man stand against the four Pigmen?

It didn’t take long for Han Tianli’s chest to be slashed with a blood spray by one Pigman’s cunning blade.

Then another Pigman stabbed him from behind, pinning him to the ground with a "bang."

...

Li Yuan shifted his gaze, continuing to observe.

With his senses, he easily detected over a dozen people quickly moving underground.

Seeing this, he realized Han Tianli was sacrificing his life to cover these people’s retreat.

Li Yuan was not someone who liked to watch trouble, but it depended on the situation.

If the opponent was stronger than him, or comparable, he would neither watch nor meddle. He would turn around and leave as quickly as possible, maybe sneak back later to see if he could pick up something left behind.

But if the opponent posed no threat to him from any angle, he wouldn’t act all scared like some "Golden Core expert watching martial arts masters fight for treasures and fearing trouble."

He knew these people were connected to the Lotus Sect.

He wanted to keep watching.

Therefore, Li Yuan temporarily dismissed the idea of returning to the Imperial Palace and quietly watched these people.

They were retreating south.

The tunnel also led to a small forest on the southern side of Silver Creek Square.

Unfortunately, the Pigmen, like a celestial net, were searching everywhere, making it nearly impossible for these remnants of the Lotus Sect to escape.

Just as these people were about to exit the tunnel, Li Yuan saw more than a dozen Pigmen heading toward the small forest where the exit was located.

If nothing unforeseen happened, these remnants would soon be captured.

Li Yuan lowered his head slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Soon after, his eyes became a misty gray, flowing with an unfathomable light, like a deep sea under the moon.

He suddenly moved.

He appeared directly on the path a hundred meters ahead of the dozen or so Pigmen, sitting on a large rock.

Rushed footsteps approached.

More than a dozen Pigmen saw the figure sitting on a rock under the moonlight.

The man was slightly plump and ordinary, a very unremarkable knight.

The Pigmen exchanged glances and began to surround him.

No one asked any questions.

Because, appearing in this place at this time, who could he be but an enemy?

Moments later...

More than a dozen Pigmen lay on the ground, merely unconscious and not dead.

Li Yuan then turned and walked towards the group that had just emerged from the tunnel.

Among the remnants of the Lotus Sect, there were men and women. The men, all strong and muscular, the women, strikingly beautiful and seductive. Seeing their appearance, Li Yuan immediately knew most of them belonged to the Red Lotus and White Lotus groups.

The leader, however, surprised Li Yuan.

He was actually a Fourth Grade, bald, with a Green Glazed Blade at his waist and a smile on his face. His data was "2800~11626 (3224~13824)."

Evidently, he was injured.

When the dozen or so people saw a stranger dressed as a knight appear, their expressions turned cautious or alarmed.

However, the bald man waved, saying, "If not for this senior, we would have been found by those Divine Temple Guards wearing pig masks."

As he finished speaking, he stepped forward half a step, cupping his fists towards Li Yuan, "Peng Mi of the Lotus Sect, thank you for your assistance."

Peng Mi?

Li Yuan remembered.

Wasn’t he the former Vice Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect?

Back when he was in Divine Wood Hall, he heard this name quite a bit.
