Today's Xianmen elegant pig slaughter

Nan Fuguang had not yet stepped out of the cave gate when she received the news of the explosion. She was trying to persuade the butcher to change out of his conspicuous short clothes. The latter took the Taoist robe of a disciple of Yuntian Sect that she handed to him and drew a stroke on it, then raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Nan Fuguang just silently took back the Taoist robe. Facts have proved that even when Roaring Sky Dog put on the Paw Patrol uniform, it is still the Roaring Sky Dog that guards the South Heavenly Gate.

When Tao Tao fell to the ground in front of the cave, Nan Fuguang thought that the demon cultivator had finally become powerful and had come to attack Yuntian Sect. It was not until she heard that Yan Ji'an was seriously injured and was in seclusion this morning that the playfulness on her face disappeared and was replaced by confusion: "What? The demon cultivator really attacked Yuntian Sect?"

Obviously, in terms of geographical location, Yuanhai Sect is closer to them.

Moreover, judging by the current progress of the world of immortal cultivation, ten demon cultivators are no match for Yan Ji'an.

As the only disciple of Yunshang Xianzun, Nan Fuguang would be criticized for rushing to Taoting at this time. She hurried out of the cave, and she didn't forget to get angry with Taotao: "Why did you notify me of such an important matter now?"

The eldest sister of the Yuntian Sect had "I'm being unreasonable" written on her face, but Taotao couldn't scold her back. She blinked innocently and said, "Maybe it's because I just found out about it?"

Nan Fuguang patted the little girl's head gently, then turned around and took out the Qingguang Sword. At this time, the butcher followed her out slowly, glanced at the sword in her hand, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Nan Fuguang opened and closed his mouth like a dehydrated carp, not knowing how to explain to this mortal the weight of the words "The Immortal Yunshang is seriously injured and in seclusion" -
As long as she could remember, Yan Ji'an had been invincible in the world, and the only time he was seriously injured was when the stubborn dragon attribute of the Queen Mother of the West broke out in the Kunlun Mountains...
But that was the Queen Mother of the West, an ancient creature that was almost as old as the heaven and earth. In recent years, not to mention being injured, Yan Ji'an had not even lost a single dragon scale.
In Yuntian Sect? Seriously injured and in seclusion?
It was like its grandmother was dreaming.

Nan Fuguang thought of Ruan Zhu for no reason, and his face turned pale instantly. The green sword that was originally filled with sword energy and floating in the air beside him fell to the ground with a clang.

Standing so close, the butcher nearly got his foot hit. He dodged sideways and raised his eyelids to glance at the ugly face of the person who was so close. It was not difficult to guess that she was probably imagining some scenes that did not happen. She could not help but sneered from the depths of her nose.

"He's fine."

The overly bright eyes of the eldest sister of the Yuntian Sect looked over.

"When did you start saying such useless, comforting nonsense?"

"..."

Oh, what a bad temper.

The man showed a helpless expression as he watched Nan Fuguang bend down to pick up the Qingguang Sword, dust himself off, then jump up and turn around to look down at him.

Butcher: “?”
what?
You're already being mean to me, and you still expect me to say a few more words?

The two of them were silent for a while, and Nan Fuguang broke the silence: "I'll be back soon."

"..."
It would be useless to go. The dragon probably felt embarrassed to be beaten in its own territory, so it just used the excuse of seclusion. Dragons are like this...
Tsk, forget it.
casual.
"Hurry up, can you?" The man leaned lazily against a tree trunk nearby and said in a long voice, "I'm hungry."

Nan Fuguang wanted to accuse him of not knowing the importance of his words. Yan Jian might be seriously injured but he would not starve to death. However, he changed his mind and suddenly remembered that this guy still had an unknown species in his stomach...
If you get really hungry, it will start gnawing on any organ that it can reach, which can be really troublesome.
So in response to the butcher's almost capricious urging, she nodded silently.

This resulted in Taotao, who was standing next to him, unable to help but look back repeatedly at the man under the tree not far away when she climbed onto Nan Fuguang's sword. Her complicated gaze was exactly like the way a loyal civil servant of any dynasty would look at the peerless concubine beside a foolish emperor.

……

Abnormal breakthrough accidents occurred one after another in the fairy world. At this critical juncture, Immortal Master Yunshang went into seclusion.

Tao Ting naturally gathered the high-level officials of the Yuntian Sect at this time. Perhaps soon the people from the Immortal Alliance would also report on time. Among this group of familiar high-level officials, Lu Sang, who was at a loss and holding his belt, seemed particularly abrupt.

In the whole morning, she probably had no idea how many times she had answered “I don’t know”, “I’m sorry”, “I really didn’t hear anything”, “I don’t know more than you do”. When she saw Nan Fuguang, she felt like she had found a life-saving straw and rushed over to him with tears in her eyes.

"Sister!"

There was an atmosphere as if Yan Ji'an had died, leaving the two of them to depend on each other as master.

Nan Fuguang had no choice but to reach out and hold Lu Sang, allowing her to be led into the Taoting under the gazes of the crowd, who either envied or resented the injustice. When passing by an inner sect disciple with a higher seniority, she clearly heard him complain, "Why can those who come later enter the Taoting?"

Well, Nan Fuguang thought, now I am a guest? When will I need someone's approval to enter this pavilion?

She glanced at the man calmly, and the latter probably realized that his voice was too loud. He had seen how Nan Fuguang dealt with those unlucky guys in the medicine cabinet. He took a breath, immediately shut up and lowered his head, pretending to be dead.

Lu Sang brought Nan Fuguang into Taoting, and with red eyes, handed him a letter personally.

She pursed her lips tightly, ready for Nan Fuguang to question her why she was in Taoting and why he went to Taoting with her first...
But there was nothing.
Nan Fuguang looked down and saw that the envelope was sealed carelessly and there was no words on it. She just asked Lu Sang, "Have you seen how Master is injured?"

Lu Sang's eyes turned red and he sobbed, unable to speak. Nan Fuguang frowned impatiently.

"What else did he say to you?"

She asked again.

Last night, Yunshang Immortal Venerable fell like a fallen dragon without any warning and landed outside Taoting seriously injured.
As for Lu Sang, it was completely coincidental that he was currently practicing sword techniques and had a problem. He couldn't sleep without asking for clarification, so he left his residence on Red Moon Peak and came to Taoting. He happened to run into Yunshang Xianzun, whose body was covered with messy dragon scales and dragon blood was flowing all over the ground. He was immediately scared out of his wits and could only wipe away his tears...
Yan Jian didn't tell her what happened.
He only gave her this letter and asked her to pass it on to Nan Fuguang, and then said only one sentence, "I will be in seclusion for three days," and didn't say another word.

At least not with her.

At this moment, Lu Sang felt particularly embarrassed by Nan Fuguang's question. He bit his lower lip subconsciously and swallowed back the words that he wanted to describe Yan Ji'an's injury last night...
She remained silent and shook her head, and the fingertips that handed over the envelope turned white from the force.

Nan Fuguang saw her expression and realized that she might have misunderstood something. He tried in vain to explain: "That's not what I meant—"

"Big sister." Lu Sang pushed the letter towards Nan Fuguang, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Letter."

Nan Fuguang had no choice but to unfold the letter.

【Daily:
I see the letter as I do.
The incidents of the abnormal breakthrough and explosion of the Yuntian Sect disciple a few days ago and the Yuanhai Sect disciple today have been investigated by the Guixing Pavilion. Both of them misread the residual contaminated information in the roots of the Shatuo Likong Tree due to their realm breakthrough, and could not bear the burden, so they committed suicide.
How the roots of the Shatuo Likong tree release pollution information remains to be investigated.
This matter can be passed on to Xie Cong, and he will make the decision and arrange the follow-up matters.
The rest has nothing to do with you, so don’t think too much about it.
The master will be in seclusion for three days, just three days, you should live peacefully and don't cause trouble. I'm afraid no one will take care of you when the master is not here.
wait for me.
Teacher's Banquet

Nan Fuguang closed the letter with a complicated expression on his face, feeling mixed emotions.

In recent years, Yunshang Immortal Venerable has rarely traveled outside the sect. The little demons and ancient creatures who carry ancient treasures from all sides all think that the robber dragon clan has disappeared, and the three realms and six paths are very peaceful...
Now that I think about it, even after three days of seclusion he still had to write a letter to remind his beloved disciple not to cause trouble. Could it be that Yunshang Immortal Venerable has not traveled outside the sect in recent years because he is worried that Nan Fuguang will be beaten to death by Xie Cong in the sect as soon as he leaves?
"Did Master seem to be in danger of his life while in seclusion?"

Lu Sang looked determined today and could do nothing but cry, nod or shake his head.

Seeing her shaking her head slightly, Nan Fuguang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked back at the Chixue Peak Mountain. The gate to where Yan Ji'an was in seclusion was closed. He paused for a few moments and slowly withdrew his gaze.

She straightened her back, walked out of the Tao Pavilion, and handed the letter in her hand to Xie Cong. "It is said that Yunshang Immortal Venerable and Guixing Pavilion said that the roots of the Shatuo Sky-Splitting Tree were polluted and released, and Ruan Zhu and the disciples of Yuanhai Sect today committed suicide."
Her voice, neither too loud nor too soft, was loud enough for everyone waiting outside the pavilion to hear.
"The specific cause of the pollution release is unknown. This matter is of great importance. Please report it to the Immortal Alliance as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whispers around him turned into complete silence.

Eyes from all directions looked over, and those gazes of admiration or awe were both familiar and unfamiliar to Nan Fuguang.

It has been so long since the divine phoenix descended, moved into Taoting, and worshipped Immortal Yunshang as its master that they almost forgot that since a long time ago, there was only one person in the Yuntian Sect who could represent Immortal Yunshang.

That person can only be Nan Fuguang.

……

The puzzle finally showed signs of being solved a little bit.

These days, the spell has failed to work, the spiritual energy of the main mountain range has been damaged, and even a series of strange phenomena including the Green Light Sword falling to the ground this morning seem to have been explained. There is an invisible plague spreading in the world of immortal cultivation.

I don’t know the reason, I don’t know the purpose.

The results of the investigation by Yunshang Xianzun and Guixing Pavilion have not yet been made public. Only the Yuntian Sect’s senior officials or some inner disciples who were in Taoting at the time knew that this matter was related to the Shatuo Likong Tree.

The news in the world of immortal cultivation is actually better than imagined. At least one low-level disciple in Yuanhai Sect exploded and died during a breakthrough, which has initially caused a small-scale panic.

When Nan Fuguang stepped into the morning hall, everyone was still discussing the matter anxiously. When they saw Nan Fuguang, they gathered around her, asking about the safety of Immortal Yunshang and what was going on with the matter between Ruan Zhu and the disciples of Yuanhai Sect.

Nan Fuguang couldn't explain it, these disciples seemed to have fallen into a nightmare from which they couldn't wake up, the amount of information in the nightmare was so difficult to distinguish between true and false, and the speciousness exceeded their ability to bear. So when they were forced into a desperate situation, they could only choose to explode and commit suicide to escape the so-called "nightmare".

This theory makes sense.

But this was just her personal speculation. She couldn't make any judgment before the official release of any opinion. She could only tell her fellow disciples tactfully: "There is something wrong with the Shatuo Sky-Splitting Tree... In the near future, everyone should focus on consolidating their cultivation. Before Yunshang Immortal Venerable comes out of retreat and the Immortal Alliance gives a better solution, don't try to break through for the time being."

The brothers and sisters looked at each other in bewilderment. They wanted to ask something, but didn't know where to start.

Nan Fuguang said: "The Immortal Alliance should give an official statement soon, everyone please wait patiently."

Everyone looked at the eldest senior brother and the second senior sister at the same time. Wu You turned the page of the book in his hand without even looking up and said, "Listen to her."

Xie Yunxing was at Taoting today and witnessed with her own eyes Nan Fuguang "delivering the imperial edict" in a majestic manner. At this moment, he smiled with his eyes slightly narrowed and made a "very powerful" gesture to her.

……

Nan Fuguang picked up a cushion and sat down next to the sect's second senior sister. At this time, he lowered his head and flipped through the Three Realms Bag to inquire. He whispered that it was not only the Yuanhai Sect, but just now, the Wuwei Sect and about three or four small-scale sects below had problems again.

The monk who was in trouble suffered the same symptoms as the previous ones. He was inexplicably possessed by nightmares, woke up talking nonsense, and then exploded and died.

"It's a mess."

She picked up the Three Realms Bag and asked about Yi Jiao, asking Nan Fuguang if he wanted to take a look.

The latter waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to read it, but couldn't help but drag the bamboo slips over to read. This time, the relevant departments of the Immortal Alliance finally didn't cover up the matter like they did with Ruan Zhu, and put the relevant reports before the recent opening of the Meteorite Dragon Secret Realm and the relevant preparations made by the Immortal Alliance for this matter.

Who the hell still cares about those little things in the secret realm? You’ll lose your life.

Nan Fuguang looked through the report. It started with the explosion of a disciple from Yuanhai Sect this morning, as if a cursed magic box had been overturned. Then, several low-level cultivators from the Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment levels exploded one after another.

The atmosphere of fear was not only spreading in the Yuntian Sect.

The mobile forum was almost flooded with people asking “what happened?”, “why?” and “how scared?”.

Nan Fuguang saw that the contents posted by several posters were similar. He was about to exit the forum and throw the bamboo slips on his knees back to Xie Yunxing. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from behind, "Ahhh, "Three Realms Bao Da Ting" has an announcement."

Nan Fuguang paused, shook the bamboo slips in his hand, and saw a piece of the latest news appear on the front page of "Sanjie Bao Gossip".

It is an announcement from the Immortal Alliance.

The Immortal Alliance issued a formal announcement through official channels including but not limited to "Sanjie Baoda", announcing that the world of immortal cultivation has entered a special period.

[To all those who practice Taoism:

In view of the current Immortal Alliance Organization (*hereinafter referred to as 'Immortal Alliance'), we have received a large number of reports about the explosions of multiple cultivators this morning, which are wide in scope, randomly distributed, and highly harmful.
In response to this phenomenon, the Immortal Alliance immediately set up a relevant organization to conduct an in-depth investigation. According to the Guixing Pavilion and other reliable temporary sources, this incident may be related to the pollution source of the roots of the Shatuo Likong Tree.
Specifically, the polluted monks will feel as if they are invaded by nightmares, their sea of ​​consciousness will be in chaos, and they will misread the unreal and stimulating residual polluting information from the roots of the Shatuo Likong Tree, causing their sea of ​​consciousness to overload, resulting in the urge to commit self-destruction.
The Shatuo Sky-Splitting Tree has been withered for a long time. For nearly a thousand years, under the reasonable management and care of the Immortal Alliance, there has never been a case of pollution leakage. Therefore, the root cause of this accident cannot be found for the time being, and it is also impossible to prevent this phenomenon from happening again and control its danger.
The Immortal Alliance announced that in order to maintain order in the immortal world and protect the safety of those who practice Taoism, the immortal world will enter the highest state of alert from now on, in accordance with the law enforcement rights granted to the Immortal Alliance by the "Shatuo Sky-Splitting Tree".

From now on, those who practice Taoism are temporarily not allowed to engage in a series of related behaviors such as seclusion, sea of ​​consciousness cultivation, breakthrough of realms, and protection breakthrough of realms.

Until the exact cause and solution to this unknown and severe situation is determined, all cultivators are requested to deeply understand the danger and urgency of the current situation, strictly abide by the laws of the "Shatuo Sky-Splitting Tree", and protect their own safety.

The life of every immortal cultivator is as important as the Shatuo Sky-Splitting Tree. The Immortal Alliance will always be with you with a firm belief in protection. 】

The above is the real-time front-page headline of "Three Realms Gossip".

The mobile message area is a mess.

"I was so scared that I vomited."
"This shouldn't be a nightmare. For the disciples of Wuwei Sect, today's morning class is cancelled and all the senior leaders are in an emergency meeting. We are so restless now that we can't even eat breakfast."
"Fellow Daoist upstairs, at least only one of you died. My Yuanhai Sect sent away two senior brothers early in the morning. I am going to cry to death."
"You mocked the Yuntian Sect before and said you wanted to fall together with them. Are you here to apologize now?"
"I'm really...scared to death. Can someone tell me this isn't true? I think I'm still asleep!?"
"It would have been a matter of time before the withering of the Shatuo Sky-Splitting Tree would have led to today's situation. I mean, this day has come too fast. I really didn't feel any different when I woke up this morning than I did yesterday QAQ?!"
"Wild Hunt."
“…So this is the sequel to the Wild Hunt vision? So the guy who commented on the Wild Hunt yesterday was scolded for nothing? Now that I’ve kowtowed and admitted my mistake, can he still tell me what to do?!!!”

Nan Fuguang felt that one commenter’s summary was very accurate.

He says--

"Ah, the end of the world of cultivation has come."
