The Legend of Li Yuan
The Five Pillars of the Hall of Souls

Li Yuan simply enjoyed the day by starting breakfast with Fang Yin. Togetherness that has been approved by both families makes them look more familiar.

"How are you feeling right now?" li Yuan asked calmly.

"Very happy" Fang Yin said with a bright face.

Hearing Fang Yin's words as well as his happy expression, Li Yuan nodded his head slowly.

"Tomorrow I will go, you often accompany Yu'er. I only had a little sister, but I didn't have much of a chance to accompany her. On this occasion I ask you, be a big brother to him as long as I am not beside him" Li Yuan said gently as he clasped Fang Yin's hand.

"Of course Yuan Gege" Fang Yin said happily.

"Thank you" Li Yuan said warmly.

After joining the Laohu Sect now everything had changed a lot, as Li Yuan's strength increased the problems he had to solve.

"Do you want to come with me today? Li Tong and I plan to head to Yellow Bamboo Village to investigate the illegal energy stone mine" Li Yuan said.

"Now.. I want to come along" Fang Yin replied quickly.

"Alright if so, so that you also know the place where I was born and raised" Li Yuan told Fang Yin.

"Yes Yuan Gege, we should use a flying boat only. I will ask the family servant to prepare it" Fang Yin said.

"Is that not a hassle?" li Yuan asked with a bad taste.

"Haha.. You are really strange, I told you that the Fang Family Association will serve you well as well" Fang Yin said with a sweet smile.

Li Yuan was silent, yet he did not say anything more.

While chatting, Li Yuan immediately informed Li Tong through the family bodyguards to meet immediately at the flying boat station this afternoon.

The wealth of the Li Clan was now already extremely outstanding, the prowess of Li Yuan's father in establishing a business empire in Qinghai City had grown tremendously. Especially with the relationship of cooperation with the Fang Family, the Li family business quickly penetrated into the inter-Province in the Sky Realm.

By taking Elder Li Tianshu to the Golden Eagle Province, Li Yuan actually wanted to build a business empire also under the supervision of Elder Li Tianshu. So that the two great Provinces would be connected under the auspices of the Li Clan.

The day changed by noon, Li Yuan and Fang Yin were already preparing on the flying boat waiting for Li Tong.

"I'm sorry I'm late" Li Tong said suddenly from a staircase leading to the bow of the flying boat.

Li Tong walked calmly with Fan Chi following him behind. They were both wearing white suits with long swords hanging from the waist.

"You are not too late, we have also just prepared" Li Yuan said calmly.

As expected, Li Tong must have invited Fan Chi. It was therefore fortunate that Li Yuan had already offered to invite Fang Yin along.

"Yes, we're leaving now" Li Yuan replied in a soft tone.

Li Tong and Fang Chi immediately adjusted themselves moving towards the bow.

With the existence of Fang Yin, they could hitch a flying boat all the way to Yellow Bamboo Village faster. In addition Li Yuan would also have friends chatting along the way.

The two pairs of young men were in the spotlight, rumors about the match between the son of the Patriarch of the Li Clan and the daughter of the Governor of Fang Jing Province turned out to be no wild talk.

After several public appearances, Li Yuan and Fang Yin became the figures of a warm couple to the lips of people in Qinghai City.

While in the Laohu Sect, Jia Hien's face looked extremely ugly. After seeing with his own eyes Li Yuan's closeness to Fang Yin, now the disciples of the Laohu Sect also talked about the two being no exception to NU Hume and Nu Nian.

The entire day the two talked about Li Yuan's figure endlessly, making Jia Hien's head seem like it was about to explode. His deep sense of regret as well as resentment at the circumstances made him decide to leave the Laohu Sect.

With supplies as necessary he went on a mission to Xiening City, there was a simple mission for the Swordsman King that he could take. Without complicated procedures, he left the Sect unaccompanied by his two best friends.

At this moment unbeknownst to Li Yuan, a great power was rising in the Northernmost area of the Polar Bear Province. A place shrouded in thick snow, a mythological animal of the Snow Kilin type has been resurrected. The Mythological Beasts had been successfully absorbed by Yaoguai from the Hall of Souls.

With special techniques he tricked the mythological animal to fall under his feet. While with the blood of the Snow Kilin, a great power was transfused into Yaoguai's body.

During this time the North was controlled by the Ice Bear Sect, Taiyuan City which became the center of the Capital was not free from the influence of the Sect. But the existence of the Hall of Souls had escaped the attention of Zi Hei as the ruler of the Polar Bear Province region.

"I finally managed to absorb the blood of this mythological animal" said a middle-aged man with a burly stature.

"Congratulations Chairman, soon the Chairman will become the true ruler of the Sky Realm" said a young man with a scar mark on his left face.

"If it's not wrong that the Eastern Region has the mythological bird beast Chong Min, by re-absorbing the blood of the mythological beast then my power will surpass that of the Sky God" said the man named Yaoguai as well as the Chairman of the Hall of Souls.

"If so then I will pave the way to the Golden Eagles Province" Feng Mian said with a calm smile.

"You set it up but still as before, my strength is not yet at the Supreme God stage, therefore we must be careful. I heard that the people in the Eternal Flame Sect have awakened the mythological beast of the Fire Phoenix. Their strength is definitely not something that can be underestimated" Yaoguai said seriously.

"Alright Chief I understand" Feng Mian replied as he nodded slowly.

In an instant he turned into a black fog then disappeared. Feng Mian was one of the five pillars of the Hall of Souls. He is known as the Soul Tribulation and possesses the power of the Earth God.

Within the group of the Hall of Souls, the five pillars had a very important role at the level of a division head. Other than their extremely terrifying strength, they also possessed extremely frightening techniques.

As devotees of the Dark God, they had not dared to come to the surface until the rise of the Dark God. One of the paths traveled was by absorbing the blood of the mythological beast protector of the four regions of the Sky Realm.
