The Legend of Li Yuan
Shadow Forces

In Jincheng City, dozens of warriors from the shadow or secret forces had already started moving towards the Qinghai Capital. As the troops in charge of guarding the Sky Emperor's safety, they were now parachuted out to hunt the Three Elements Swordsman.

The already mounting anger of Emperor Tang Shiji, forced him to deploy a secret army. According to his calculations, no matter how strong the Element Swordsman was, fighting the shadow army was the same as he would have been unlucky.

Emperor Tang Shiji estimated that the strength of the Three Elements Swordsman was on the same realm as him. Therefore he mustered all the strength of the shadow army to kill the Three Swordsman.

About thirty people with frightening auras had been on a flying boat heading towards Qinghai City. The ten saint realm swordsmen as well as the other twenty people were at the sky swordsman realm.

As the best troops guarding the Emperor's safety, their existence was highly classified. Now for the first time they are deployed to finish off one who is already targeted.

Since being designated as a fugitive of the Sky Palace, the existence of the Three Elements Swordsman had always been sought, now he had reappeared in Qinghai City. Clearly this indicated the Blue Dragon Province was starting to rise.

At the same time, Li Yuan was still engrossed in enjoying the day with Fang Yin. After coming from Li Ching's new residence, he and Li Tong along with Fan Chi immediately walked around the center of the City. Originally Li Yuan was about to return to the Li Clan's residence, but his premonition said something would go wrong.

He decided to stick around downtown to wait for something to come.

"Why don't you seem excited?" fang Yin's voice sounded from beside Li Yuan.

"Not really, I was just thinking about something else" Li Yuan replied in seriousness.

"Are you another woman?" fang Yin asked with a pouting expression.

"Surely nothing, I'm thinking of a counterattack from the Sky Palace's side" Li Yuan replied honestly so that Fang Yin did not misunderstand.

"Oh so.. I believe in you if you can handle it well" Fang Yin said as he embraced Li Yuan's arm.

At this time, Fang Yin was unwilling to lose precious time with Li Yuan. He knew that if Li Yuan would leave again soon, whether or not Fang Yin would return would not be able to guess at it as originally.

Li Yuan only smiled seeing Fang Yin's action, he did not forbid it and let Fang Yin walk comfortably by his side.

Two pairs of lovers are walking and become the center of attention of many pairs of eyes. The weather was quite sunny accompanying their steps casually. People were no strangers to Fang Yin, as the daughter of the ruler of the Provincial Capital she was well known for.

In his mind realm, Li Yuan was thinking of setting up a stratagem. If there was a great danger that threatened the safety of Qinghai City then he would come soon.

At the next moment Li Yuan was already able to sense the immense power had just entered Qinghai City.

"Li Tong, you stay here looking after Miss Fan and Miss Fang. I have some business to settle" Li Yuan suddenly said.

"Alright" Li Tong replied briefly.

Li Tong did not ask, he already understood that Li Yuan would do something dangerous.

After gently staring at Fang Yin, Li Yuan immediately stepped quickly and disappeared among the crowd.

Right now the flying boat carrying the people from the shadow army had just arrived, they looked at the people of Qinghai city with a disdainful expression.

"The people here are weak. How could two great generals be killed in a place like this" said one member of the shadow army.

Yet unbeknownst to them, the strength of the Laohu Sect had already exceeded their current expectations. Especially with the Blue Dragon, obviously the Sky Palace had miscalculated.

A young man seriously noticed the people who had just landed in Qinghai City. Li Yuan would act quickly to finish off those who meant no good, this time the contact with the people of the Sky Palace was unavoidable.

With the characteristics of his soul, Li Yuan was already able to identify a group that was extremely powerful. If it was then, of course the Laohu Sect alone would not be able to deal with it.

"Are you guys from the Sky Palace?" li Yuan asked coldly.

Hearing a question from a young man, made the troupe of warriors who had just set foot in Qinghai City become shocked.

They did not expect that anyone would welcome him.

"Who are you?" said a man of nearly fifty years.

"Aren't you here to look for me" Li Yuan replied with an unchanged expression from before.

"It turns out you're the one. I can't believe the Three Elements Swordsman is still so young. It's a pity to die before it develops any further" the man said with a cruel grin.

"My death won't be on someone like you. Even to touch my shoes alone, you are not worthy yet" Li Yuan said calmly.

"Badly, I will finish you off" the man said as he punched a fist towards Li Yuan.

Waves of energy moved swiftly, this punch was very similar to what Wan Sui had once done.

Li Yuan only smiled faintly, he watched the person who attacked him while forming a layer of protection

"Creek"

I heard the sound of a broken bone. In an instant, a holy warrior experienced unparalleled pain. The bones that were on his right arm seemed to bulge out, fresh blood flowing quite profusely.

"You.. Insolent" the man shouted loudly.

The other members of the shadow army became dumbfounded. They had not expected that in the short exchange of moves, their comrades had suffered a fatal loss.

Li Yuan did not react, his gaze still focused towards the people around. He wanted to slaughter the shadow army but he knew the effects of his power that could inflict damage.

In the next instant, the remaining nine Sacred Swordsmen immediately charged forward. They looked at Li Yuan with hateful gazes.

Their auras flowed vigorously, making the air temperature rise to even hotter. Twenty celestial warriors came to surround Li Yuan fiercely.

"Young man, you better surrender and come with us to the Sky Palace to account for your actions" said one of the shadowy army representatives.

Li Yuan seemed to be thinking, he was drawing up a plan. In his heart he was completely irritated by the people sent by the Sky Palace.

"Alright if so, I'll follow you" Li Yuan said in a tone like one who relented.
