After finally coaxing the little girl to take a nap, Liu Qinghuan felt even more tired than on the battlefield. After drinking two cups of tea, she felt that she had finally escaped.
He glanced at the book in Lele's hand and asked, "Do you have a clue?"
"No, it can't be that fast. However, this matter can't be rushed."
Lele shook his head and added: "Thank you for speaking up for me. This gave me the opportunity to enter your Wenshi sect and see so many ancient books that are hard to find for outsiders."
Liu Qinghuan held her arm: "It's not like you to be so polite."
"This thanks must be given!"
However, Lele stubbornly insisted on bowing deeply: "My father was known as the number one Yuanying person in Xiaofeng Continent during his lifetime, but in the final analysis he was just a casual cultivator. Although he also collected some classics, how could he compare to the Wenshi Sect?
Such a profound foundation and the accumulation of famous sects with far-reaching inheritance. These days, my eyes have been opened. Many things that I didn't understand before have suddenly become clear to me, and even my cultivation has improved slightly."
Liu Qinghuan was a little surprised. He had known that Lele was very smart, but he didn't expect that she was so smart that she would realize it after just reading some classics.
"Tsk, it's really irritating to see people compare to each other! Whenever I meet someone as talented as you, I feel even more stupid!"
Lele was amused by him, and her often frowning eyebrows relaxed a little, and then she laughed at herself: "You are talking about being extremely talented. If it was really like that, I wouldn't still have no clue until now."
Liu Qinghuan consoled him: "It's difficult enough to create a mental technique from scratch, not to mention that Xiaoxiao's spiritual root is so special, so don't push yourself too hard."
Lele concealed her fatigue and said after a while: "What if... what if I still fail to create a mental method suitable for Xiao'er's cultivation in the end, then..."
Her words were a bit difficult, revealing a rare vulnerability and a mother's guilt for her child.
"Then let Xiaoxiao live this life well like a mortal!"
Liu Qinghuan looked at a door on the left, which was the room where Xiaoxiao took a nap, and said categorically: "As long as you are healthy and happy, you will live up to your time in this world! Mortals only have a shorter life span than us monks, and they can still live.
Live a wonderful life and be happy.”
He advised: "The most important thing is that you stay with her and watch her grow up. I think even if she is unable to embark on the path of cultivating immortality, Xiaoxiao will not blame you."
Lele's lips trembled slightly, and even her eyes were red. It took a while to calm down, and she murmured: "Thank you, Liu Qinghuan, I will think about it carefully."
Liu Qinghuan didn't know how to comfort people, but he was at a loss for words at this time. He picked up the book on the table in a covert manner, read the cover page, and couldn't help but let out a slight surprise.
"You don't mean to..."
Lele's eyes also fell on the book cover, and nodded: "Yes, it is difficult and takes a lot of time to create a set of mental methods from scratch, but Xiaoxiao can't afford to wait, so I plan to find two sets that are more suitable for her spiritual roots.
I'll try to combine it with my own mentality and improve it, maybe it will be faster this way."
Liu Qinghuan patted his thigh and praised: "This is a good idea! Everything is difficult at the beginning, so you can greatly reduce the time to think about it. However... it is probably not easy to combine two completely opposite mental methods into one book.
"
At this moment, Lele's face glowed with confidence: "It's difficult, but you have to do it! Hey, since you are here today, help me see this mental method. What do you think?"
Liu Qinghuan looked really serious and gave her own opinions while watching. When Xiaoxiao woke up, he played with her again and had a normal meal together, and was allowed to go by the little girl.
When he came out of the guest peak, he received a summons from Grand Master Yunyi, asking him to rush to Sancai Hall.
The Sancai Hall is located above the Liangyi Hall on the Immortal Peak. It is where the elders of the Wenshi Sect usually hold meetings, but today, there are only a few Nascent Soul monks who are still in the sect.
Grand Master Yunyi hadn't arrived yet when he entered the door and saw Zuo Zhishan: "Elder brother, when did you come back? You are injured!"
Zuo Zhishan didn't look very good, but he just smiled and said: "The injury was not serious. On the way, I met two monks from other worlds who had sneaked into our world. They didn't get any benefits, so I killed them and escaped."
Liu Qinghuan still couldn't feel relieved, so she took one of his hands and examined it carefully.
"What's going on? Have there been more monks from other worlds sneaking into Yunmengze recently?"
Zuo Zhishan reluctantly allowed him to check and replied: "It doesn't seem to be more than usual. I probably encountered it because of bad luck."
"Senior Brother Zuo is injured?"
A female cultivator with a calm expression came over. Liu Qinghuan looked over and saw that the person who came was Su Wen from Tiangong Peak. She asked with concern: "Is it serious?"
Zuo Zhishan chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, my junior brother is just nervous."
Another person came around: "Junior Brother Zuo went out to fight with monks from other worlds? These people are too persistent. They can't get through the space passage in Qushang Swamp, and they actually ran all the way across the East Wasteland Sea. Several passages in the middle
The defense line never caught them!"
This opened up the conversation among everyone in the room, and some people sighed: "Well, so what if there is a defense line? Yunmengze is so big, and the East Barren Sea is not covered, how can we defend it?"
"I heard that the entire Eastern Wasteland is about to fall into the hands of the other side. After most of the people from Sao Feng Continent have withdrawn from there, there is no way we can defend the East Cliff Island with so many people. And we not only have to defend Qu
We need to send reinforcements to the spatial passage in the Shang Swamp, but we don’t have enough manpower.”
"Yes, the more people fight, the fewer people there are. How can we get bigger?"
"Speaking of this, most of the disciples have been sent out, leaving us old guys guarding the sect. Every day we see the empty Immortal Peak and feel heartbroken..."
At this time, footsteps came from the door, and Yun Yi walked in, followed by the leader Xiao Yi.
Everyone in the palace stopped talking and bowed one after another.
Yun Yi waved his hand casually, sat down on the upper seat, and said to Xiao Yi: "You tell me."
Xiao Yi took a few steps forward and said with a solemn expression: "I just received a battle report. Monks from other worlds who control monster insects appeared in the Eastern Wasteland. They raided Lansha Island and Lansha Island fell. Less than 30% of the people escaped. I
I’m afraid the disciples sent to the island... at least until now, no disciple has sent back a message."
As soon as the words fell, the entire Sancai Hall fell into a brief silence, and then there was a chorus of incredible exclamations.
"What! Blue Sand Island is so well-defended, how could it suddenly fall?"
"We seem to have received no news of the attack, not even an emergency call for help..."
"No! There are many teleportation circles on Lansha Island, some of which are directly transmitted to the interior of various sects!"
Lansha Island is a large island under the jurisdiction of Yunmengze. It is located closest to the Eastern Wasteland and is the hub connecting the two sides. The island's defense formation is no less than a large repair fairy city, with many people stationed there.
Sect monks and casual cultivators.
But it fell overnight, and less than 30% of the people escaped!
Xiao Yi raised his hand: "The monks guarding the island saw that the monster insects and enemies were approaching fiercely, and it was too late to retreat, so they immediately activated the self-destruction array outside the teleportation hall. But just in case, before I came here, I had already
Cut off the teleportation circle between our faction and Lansha Island."
"The demonic insect...what demonic insect is so powerful?"
Xiao Yi said in a deep voice: "Nightmare Butterfly."
Everyone fell silent, and the entire hall fell into an eerie silence!
The color of the nightmare butterfly can change with the surrounding environment, and it has six pairs of broad, blade-like wings. What makes the nightmare butterfly famous is that this kind of monster makes a living by sucking people's nightmares. The butterfly powder it sprays is pervasive and can make people
Unconsciously falling into a dream, they will lay eggs in a person's ears and quickly take over the person's body.
Once controlled by it, the consciousness will float in endless dreams and it is difficult to wake up, and the body will become an unconscious puppet.
It is said that a single nightmare butterfly can put a small city into sleep. What is even more frightening is that this kind of monster insect usually lives in groups. When it appears, it will form a large group. It is also extremely difficult to be killed by ordinary spells. Moreover, they reproduce very fast, and you are not careful.
It will be a disaster.
Therefore, as soon as the cultivating world detects any trace of this kind of monster insect, it will immediately go to exterminate it.
Liu Qinghuan looked solemn: No wonder Lansha Island can't even ask for help!
The butterfly powder spread by the nightmare butterfly is as fine as invisible. Unless the protective array on the island is kept tightly closed, as soon as it is opened, the butterfly powder will flow in, making people unable to defend themselves.
At this time, Su Wen from Tiangong Peak said with a pale face: "Didn't I say that monsters like the Nightmare Butterfly have been killed long ago? Those people from the Yin Moon Blood Realm..."
"Those scum of the Yin Yue Blood Realm!" Someone said angrily: "How dare you bring the Nightmare Butterfly here to harm me, Yun Mengze!"
The crowd was furious for a while, and just thinking about the disaster caused by the demon butterfly made everyone feel cold all over.
Zuo Zhishan's face suddenly became ugly, and he said quickly in a low voice: "Your second senior brother went to the Eastern Wasteland some time ago!"
Liu Qinghuan's heart tightened and he quickly said: "No... Although the second senior brother went there, it may not happen to be on Lansha Island. Besides, with the second senior brother's ability, it is impossible not to detect the nightmare butterfly.
Invasion."
"What if?" Zuo Zhishan was still worried: "If there are enough nightmare butterflies, it will be difficult for Nascent Soul monks to escape!"
"Silence!" Xiao Yi shouted loudly, suppressing the discussion of others: "Everyone should understand the seriousness of the situation. Facing the nightmare butterfly, it is useless to have more people. It is not yet known whether the nightmare butterfly has arrived.
On our side of the mainland, the alliance has issued an emergency notice, asking all sects and casual cultivator alliances to be more vigilant: once you find any trace of the Nightmare Butterfly, report it immediately and do not approach it rashly."
Next, they began to discuss arranging guards, strengthening patrols, and restricting low-level disciples to try not to go out if they did not have a mission.
Liu Qinghuan whispered to Zuo Zhishan: "Senior brother, don't worry first. Let's contact the second senior brother first. It should be fine. The nightmare butterflies have just appeared now, and maybe there are not many in number..."
However, he himself didn't quite believe this. It was impossible to destroy a large island with strong protection overnight.
After the meeting was over, a group of people walked out thoughtfully, and Yun Yi suddenly stopped Liu Qinghuan.
"Tai Zun?"
After everyone else had finished leaving, Yun Yi spoke: "Dayan hasn't replied yet, but Ye Xige, an ascended monk from the Shaoyang Sect, has responded and promised that he will find a way to visit Wanhu Realm in the near future to investigate.
Virtual reality.”
Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but be overjoyed: "That's great!"
He suddenly thought: "But... when the Taoist Master ascends to another realm, he no longer belongs to our Yunmengze. How can we go to the Wanhu Realm? If we pass through the Mingshan Battle Territory, we can pass without the passage order of the Wanhu Realm.
Can’t reach the boundary gate.”
"We have no way of knowing this." Yun Yi said: "The only thing we can do is wait."
Liu Qinghuan felt helpless: Yes, they can do nothing but wait.
Looking up, he saw a trace of worry on Yun Yi's face: "Tai Zun, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Yun Yi said: "I'm just a little worried about that guy Dayan. With his temperament, it's impossible not to reply if he finds out about this."
Liu Qinghuan thought that Grand Master Dayan wasted three thousand years of his life for Yun Mengze and proclaimed himself the Great Xumi Qiankun Pagoda. It was indeed unlikely that he would ignore Yun Mengze.
He thought for a while and said: "Maybe something has blocked my feet. Tai Zun has only ascended not long ago, and there may be many things that need to be dealt with."
"Well, probably."
Yun Yi couldn't help it. He was so far away from the interface that it was inconvenient to contact him.
The next development of the situation is getting worse and worse. News about the Nightmare Butterfly appearing in the Eastern Wasteland comes every few days. Yunmengze's side is in turmoil, and those who have escaped from there change their expressions when talking about the butterfly.
All kinds of disturbing news spread one after another.
The Wenshi Sect is the closest sect to the Eastern Wilderness Sea, so they will naturally be responsible for the entire eastern defense line. If the Nightmare Butterflies come across the sea, they will be the ones to bear the brunt.
However, most of the people in the sect have been sent to the front line, and the remaining people are only enough to guard the sect, which is very short of manpower.
Xiao Yi finally made a decision and transferred some of the few high-level monks in the sect to patrol and monitor everywhere. In the sect, Grand Master Yunyi was in charge, relying on the mountain-protecting formation, even if he encountered an attack,
It can also support the arrival of rescue.
What worries Liu Qinghuan even more is that Ji Yue has sent out several messengers in the past few days, but Ji Yue has never replied.
"It's better for me to go." Liu Qinghuan pulled Zuo Zhishan: "Senior brother, you are injured, and the master is still in retreat. Anyway, I have something to go to the Eastern Wasteland, and I just want to go see the second senior brother."
But Zuo Zhishan refused: "No, just stay at the door. I am the senior brother and I should take good care of you. Besides, I am aware of my own injuries and it is not to the point where I cannot go out."
Liu Qinghuan had no choice but to persuade again: "This time the alliance dispatched manpower to the Eastern Wasteland to extinguish the demon butterflies. The nightmare butterfly cannot be dealt with by ordinary magic. I have the ability to attack with spiritual consciousness, but I am the nemesis of those demon insects. It is the ultimate
The right person."
The two argued back and forth, but in the end Zuo Zhishan was so pestered by him that he could only nod his head and gave him countless instructions before leaving.
"You must be careful. Second Junior Brother's whereabouts are unknown now. If I lose you again, Master, Master, won't be able to beat me when he comes out of seclusion!"
