Embarrassing themselves in front of the leader is a small matter. Now they are trapped in a small town like Jiuling. If they cannot get out, what will happen next will probably be just as the leader said. They will lose all their luck in one conspiracy after another and be burned to ashes by the fire of catastrophe.
In order to hide her whereabouts, Yi Niaoniao only told her maid Yu'er before leaving. And she was always playful and playful, so even if she didn't come back to the sect for ten days or half a month, Yu'er would just think she was having fun somewhere else and would not necessarily send anyone to look for her.
Besides this, the only one who could come to save her was...
There was a hint of struggle in her eyes, but she finally took out a sword-shaped jade talisman from her sleeve pouch.
hum!
As soon as the jade talisman was taken out of the sleeve pouch, the sharp sword intent immediately swept in all directions, accompanied by the soft hum of a magic sword being unsheathed, and sword marks suddenly appeared on the nearby bluestone bricks.
A faint glow lingered around the small jade sword, like a burning green flame, constantly changing shape in the darkness. One could vaguely see someone dancing with the sword in the jade, but not even a single move could be distinguished.
"Ah!" the girl screamed.
Even though they were several meters away, Li Yulo's face was still hurt by the sword, and even a few strands of black hair beside his ears were cut off and fell down from his temples.
"What is this?" The girl covered her face with her hands, still in shock. When she took out the jade talisman, it was as if a sword was stabbing towards her. The murderous intent was so strong that the only thing left in the world was the gleaming sword edge. She almost thought she was going to die.
"It is a token given to me by the head of Qingyun Sect. With this talisman, I can command her three times."
Yi Niaoniao said softly, "I used it once a month ago, but I never thought... I would have to use it a second time so soon."
Only then did Li Yulo discover that the blade of the small green jade sword was shorter, exactly one-third of the length.
The name of Qingyun Sword Immortal An Xiaoyu is well-known in Jiuzhou. Although he is younger than Li Yulo, his cultivation has reached the late stage of spirit refining. His all-powerful swordsmanship is the best in Jiuzhou, and no one can defeat him in a head-on confrontation with people of the same level.
If we could invite Sect Leader An to come here, even if Shan Zhenzhen came in person, we would still be able to fight.
Then she thought of what Yi Niaoniao said a month ago.
That happened to be the time when Master, Yi Niaoniao, and Master An joined forces to assassinate the leader.
At first, she felt strange. Why would Sect Leader An, who had always been devoted to cultivation and not concerned with worldly affairs, go with his master to assassinate the leader of the Demon Cult? Only now did she understand that it was Yi Niaoniao who had used her connections to invite him...
He had previously spent such a huge price to assassinate the leader, but now he seemed very happy even to kiss the leader.
What a strange woman.
Unable to figure out the other person's thoughts, Li Yulo was troubled for a short while before he put the question behind him. He took the leader's hand, placed it on his soft face, and slowly kneaded it.
"Hmm..." She moaned comfortably, but there was a hint of worry in her heart.
If Sect Leader An saved the three of them, how would he treat the Sect Leader...
It is incredible that Sister Yi likes the leader. It is not certain that Sect Leader An also likes the leader.
Even though in Li Yulo's heart the leader is the most handsome man in the world, he does not think that the leader's charm is really so great that he can charm so many decent fairies across thousands of mountains and rivers.
If that were the case, she was really afraid that the leader would be kidnapped by another woman one day...
Yi Niaoniao held the jade sword expressionlessly, feeling the cool touch of the sword in her palm. The temperature of the sword was as cold as the sword owner's expression towards her.
The first time she met An Xiaoyu was at the Three Continents Sword Fighting Ceremony jointly held by the major immortal sects five years ago. At that time, the two had similar cultivation levels, and they were both young girls who had not experienced much of the world. They were both extremely talented and soon got to know each other in the final decisive battle.
In the final battle of the sword fighting competition, Yi Niaoniao defeated An Xiaoyu with just one sword, and that battle was also the only time An Xiaoyu was defeated in his life.
How could the proud and arrogant girl give up? After the battle, she kept chasing Yi Niao Niao and made an appointment to fight her again in three years.
The two exchanged communication talismans with each other, and after returning to their respective sects, they shared their cultivation gains every day, and occasionally shared daily trivia, becoming close friends.
However, unlike An Xiaoyu who studied swordsmanship day and night, Yi Niaoniao, who was used to being fed with elixirs, gradually slacked off in her practice and gradually forgot the agreement made three years later.
As the days passed, the distance between them gradually widened.
When they met again three years later, An Xiaoyu, who had practiced diligently, had already reached the stage of refining the spirit and inherited the position of the head of the sect from his master, while Yi Niao was still lingering in the Yuantai realm, staring eagerly every day for the elixirs that would appear in front of the door on time and for the snacks and sweets that would be brought by the maid.
This made An Xiaoyu deeply disappointed in her. The message talisman conveyed the long-awaited reunion, but instead he only gave her a jade talisman and left.
"We are born in this chaotic world. If we don't work hard to cultivate ourselves, how can we protect the ones we love and repay our teachers and sects... How will you overcome all the difficulties and obstacles in the future?"
The girl, who was two years younger than her, spoke with a frown on her face, but she sounded no different from the old man in the Elders' Pavilion.
"For the sake of our friendship over the years, if you encounter difficulties in the future, I can help you three times, but only three times."
"After three attempts, our friendship is over." An Xiaoyu's slightly childish but exceptionally cold voice was still ringing in his ears, "You are a self-degrading person, you are not worthy of being with me."
Chapter 113: Two Ways to Survive
If there was any other choice, Yi Niaoniao didn't want to bother that woman at all.
What An Xiaoyu said at the beginning sounded like just advice from an old friend who was disappointed with his friend, but she knew that the guy would definitely do what he said.
That day, the girl stared blankly at her best friend who turned into a dot of light in the sky, her back teeth grinding against each other.
No matter what, Yi Niaoniao is a favored girl of heaven. As long as she doesn't compete with that sword-fighting pervert, she is a peerless genius no matter where she is with her perfect primordial fetus in her twenties.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully young girls into poverty!
In order to slap An Xiaoyu in the face, Yi Niao turned around and began to practice hard.
A year later, she successfully broke through to the Spirit Refining Realm, took over the position of the Sect Leader sent by Li Yanze, and became famous throughout the Nine Continents. She was very proud and no longer took the jade talisman seriously.
Although An Xiaoyu next door has already been promoted to the middle stage of spirit refining, it is even rumored that he has reached the threshold of the late stage and is about to become the youngest cultivator in the late stage of spirit refining in a thousand years.
But Yi Niaoniao is not envious, nor jealous.
She cultivated to the level of spiritual refinement, and has already stood at the top of the Nine Continents, becoming a giant in the immortal sect.
To protect my lover and repay my master, why should I bother that guy to take action?
She would never cry and beg An Xiaoyu to help her! If she went, she would be a puppy!
……
"Wang..."
Thinking of the oath she had made secretly, Yi Niaoniao barked in self-abandonment.
This is the second time... I swore not to ask her for help...
Once upon a time, she thought that Lianshen had stood at the top of the world, able to call the wind and rain and do everything.
Only now do I realize that there are many things in this world that even a spiritual cultivator cannot accomplish.
The path of cultivation is endless, and she is still far from the end.
A month ago, she used up an opportunity for the sect, and a month later, she used up another opportunity for the leader. It was exactly what An Xiaoyu said at the beginning. Whether it was to protect her lover or to repay her master, she was helpless. In the end, she could only beg An Xiaoyu for help.
The jade talisman split into two from the middle, one half remained in the girl's palm, and the other half turned into a small green sword, flying around her like a fish.
This was the technique that An Xiaoyu had left on the jade talisman, imitating the Yaoguang Sect's Tianya Zhichi. The jade talisman contained a trace of immortal sword energy from the Refining Spirit Realm, which was used to determine the location of Yi Niaoniao. As long as Yi Niaoniao was in danger, even if she was 100,000 miles away, An Xiaoyu could use this sword energy to penetrate the two places and descend upon them in an instant.
I wonder how that guy would react when he sees me staying with the leader of the Demon Cult... At this point, Yi Niaoniao was prepared to be ridiculed by her friends, especially since the person she asked An Xiaoyu to save this time was the same person she had asked An Xiaoyu to go with her to assassinate last time.
Fortunately, it was An Xiaoyu. If it was another immortal sect’s soul refiner, even if they rescued the three people, they would never let the leader of the demon cult go in the end.
Looking at all the major sects in Jiuzhou, only the Qingyun Sword Sect is located far away in Dongyizhou, across the East China Sea. It has no borders with the Demon Sect and its hatred with the Demon Sect is much smaller than that of sects on other continents. In addition, An Xiaoyu only has swordsmanship in her heart and has never felt anything about the dispute between immortals and demons. If he hadn't asked her for help a month ago, that guy would not have paid any attention to the affairs of the Demon Sect.
An Xiaoyu said that they would break up when the three chances were used up, which meant that before the three chances were used up, she would still consider herself a friend. With that guy's personality, he would never do anything to betray his friend.
Rather than worrying about An Xiaoyu attacking the leader, her look of deep disappointment might have embarrassed Yi Niaoniao more.
But soon... Yi Niaoniao found that her worries were unnecessary.
The small green sword took a long time to break through the air, and it kept hovering around the girl in white robe, like a lost bird, clinging to her and refusing to leave.
This wisp of sword energy could not establish a connection with the sword's owner, which meant that An Xiaoyu could not transmit her divine thoughts to this place, let alone cut through the space between the two places with one sword. Even if she could sense that she was in danger, how could she travel 100,000 miles to Jiuling Town?
By the time that guy traveled thousands of miles to the Yaoguang Sect's territory, before he could investigate Yi Niaoniao's whereabouts, he and the Sect Leader would have already been burned to ashes in the fire!
Looking at Yi Niaoniao's pale face, Yan Mobai understood that something went wrong with the jade talisman that she regarded as her savior.
Come to think of it, since the Demon Cult planned to trap and kill Leader Yaoguang in Jiuling Town, how could they not be on guard against her methods?
He could guess about 70% of the usage of the green jade sword talisman just by looking at it. He was also very familiar with the aura of the green sword energy lingering around Yi Niaoniao, or rather... the girl who cut out this sword energy was the person Yan Mobai was most familiar with.
After a brief sigh, Yan Mobai stopped thinking about it. He was no longer An Xiaoyu's brother, and An Xiaoyu was no longer his sister. After their Yin bodies disappeared, they no longer had any connection.
"The life and death of the sect leader is related to the future direction of Yaoguang Sect and even Jiuzhou. If the Demon Sect does not conceal the secret in advance, it will be easy for those who are good at predicting the sky to discover it. I think... in addition to the formation in the sky that seems to seal the heaven and earth, there is probably another formation covering it to conceal the secret." He looked at the dark sky and said, "Although the master of this sword energy has unfathomable cultivation, the sword energy is dead after all, like a fish trapped in the undercurrent of the water, and there is no way to find the direction to return to the water surface."
Yi Niaoniao clenched the jade sword in her hand, and then let go.
She never expected that what An Xiaoyu said in the past would come true.
The winner of the sword fighting competition that year was Yi Niaoniao, not An Xiaoyu. If she had practiced hard in recent years, she would not have surpassed An Xiaoyu's current achievements, but at least she would not be much behind. With the cultivation of the late stage of soul refining, she could break this formation with a wave of her hand, so why would she need to rely on An Xiaoyu's help?
But it's too late to regret now.
After a while, the girl asked bitterly, "What do you think...what should we do next?"
"Since our only hope of survival is to rely on Sect Leader An, there are only two options left."
Yan Mobai whispered: "The first is to forcefully break through the seal in the sky. Even if it is only a tiny bit, it will be enough to release the sword energy back to heaven and earth, allowing Sect Leader An to descend from the air."
Yi Niao Niao lowered her head unconsciously and said guiltily: "I'm sorry that I'm not capable of this. The person who set up the formation is much more powerful than me. Even if I use all my strength..."
Yan Mobai smiled and said, "Master, don't underestimate yourself. The Nine Spirits Town is not full of spiritual energy, and it is difficult for cultivators to fully exert their strength. If you were to be in a treasure land with spiritual energy that is a hundred times richer than the seven immortal mountains, Master, you might be able to open a hole in the formation."
Yi Niaoniao was stunned and was about to ask where to find this treasure land which was a hundred times more precious than the fairy mountain, when suddenly an idea came to her mind.
She thought of the underground fire in the alchemy room.
"Second..."
Without waiting for her to consider, Yan Mobai began to talk about the second method, "Wait for Shan Zhenzhen's real body to come here, and use the way she came here to send Sect Leader An's sword energy back to heaven and earth!"
Chapter 114: Tianshu Mountain Summit
If the enemy wants to come in, he must make a hole in the forbidden world. Once the hole is opened, there will be a chance to send the sword energy out.
But Yi Niaoniao still didn't understand why the leader was so sure that Dan Zhenzhen would come here in person.
"Mr. Bai, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it..."
She bit her lip and looked at Yan Mobai. Seeing that he had no intention of interrupting her, she said, "Every move of a spiritual cultivator stirs up the secrets of heaven. If the guardian Jidu comes here in person, not only will the conspiracy against Tianji Sect be exposed, but it may also attract the great elders of Tianji and Zhenyang Sects. Jiuling Town has these life stones, plus many minions of the demon sect. The demon named Shan only needs to block the surrounding area, and we will be in great danger. Why should she risk coming here in person?"
Yan Mobai nodded and said, "What the Sect Leader said is indeed reasonable. As a spirit cultivator, Shan Zhenzhen will definitely leave indelible marks when she takes action, and may even attract the immortals from the other two sects. Since I did not take off my mask, she could have just stood by and watched, and would not take the risk herself. But..." He changed the subject, "Now that she knows my identity, she has to come and meet me."
Need to... meet the leader?
Yi Niaoniao was stunned for a moment, "Sir, what you mean is that Shan Zhenzhen... still respects you as the leader?"
The Demon Cult of Zhongzhou might still give the leader some face, but the Demon Cults of the other three continents had already betrayed their original sect. In those few days, countless demon cultivators loyal to the leader of the three continents lost their heads. Jidu Dharma Protector Shan Zhenzhen even took action personally and massacred the leader's followers in Youquanzhou. It was definitely the only person in the entire Jiuzhou who didn't want the leader to live.
"Respect me as the leader?"
Yan Mobai laughed at himself, "If that were the case, she wouldn't have rebelled against Zhongzhou, and she wouldn't have trapped me in Jiuling Town now."
"The Demon Cult is much weaker than the Righteous Alliance now, and the Three Continents are at odds with Central Continent. Once the battle between immortals and demons begins, the first to bear the brunt will be the Demon Cult of Yanyu Continent, which borders Tianding Continent. At that time, they will have to deal with the siege of the Immortal Sect and guard against Central Continent stabbing them in the back. It is inevitable that they will lose sight of one while focusing on the other. I will mediate, or, to put it bluntly... they hold Yan's life in their hands, and they will issue orders as the leader of my Demon Cult. Even if they cannot mobilize my former subordinates, they don't have to worry about Central Continent, which considers itself orthodox, making moves behind their backs."
He glanced at Yi Niao Niao and said, "When the master was going through the tribulation, I had a few words with Shan Zhenzhen. When I talked about using my crippled body in exchange for her sparing Yu Luo's life, she was indeed a little moved... If nothing unexpected happens, she will not miss the opportunity to capture Yan alive."
If Shan Zhenzhen took action, it would certainly disrupt the arrangements she had made previously. Not only would it likely allow Yi Niaoniao to escape, but the plan to frame the Tianji Sect would also inevitably fail.
But compared to the benefits that could be gained by capturing the leader of the evil cult alive, Yi Niaoniao's life or death, the survival of the Yaoguang Sect, the little reputation of the Tianji Sect...what do they matter?
Yan Mobai didn't say it so bluntly. He believed that Yi Niaoniao could understand what he meant.
"It seems to make some sense..." The girl in white robe nodded thoughtfully.
The two ways of survival mentioned by the leader can actually be taken once.
Even if the spiritual power that is a hundred times stronger than that of the immortal mountain cannot penetrate the sealed world, they can continue to wait until Shan Zhenzhen arrives, and then return the sword energy to the world along the path she came.
However... these two paths must be chosen after all. If Yi Niaoniao spent too much immortal essence on the former, she would naturally not be able to exert her full strength when Shan Zhenzhen arrived, and the chances of returning the sword energy to heaven and earth would be much smaller.
And if she held back on the former, she might fail to break through the ban by a hair's breadth, resulting in all her previous efforts being wasted.
"Well……"
Yi Niao Niao's pretty brows were almost twisted into a knot, and she couldn't make a decision for a long time.
After a while, she finally gave up her thoughts and turned to ask the leader: "What is Mr. Bai's plan?"
Yan Mobai seemed to have made a decision long ago, and spoke without much thought: "Shan Zhenzhen inherited her father's Heavenly Dao Body, and her methods are strange and unpredictable. She can be called a walking forbidden weapon. Even if she comes from a distance and reveals a flaw, we may not be able to seize the opportunity, so..."
"In my opinion, it is better to merge the two paths into one." He stared into the girl's amber eyes and said word by word, "When Shan Zhenzhen is about to arrive here, please follow the master's instructions and use the spiritual power that is a hundred times greater than that of the immortal mountain to break through the barrier between the two worlds through the path she came from and send the sword energy back to Jiuzhou!"
If you want to create an environment with spiritual energy a hundred times that of a fairy mountain, you must dig up the earth veins and do something like draining the pond to catch fish. Once the underground fire is released, it will gradually die down in a short time and become a dead vein, and it will no longer be able to refine spiritual energy.
They only have one chance.
As for Mo Bai, he chose to use this opportunity to open up greater vitality.
