In a flash, she appeared in front of Youyou. She looked at the sword 'Musha' that she had given to her. The unusually long body of the sword really did not match Youyou's current height.
However, after looking at it for a long time, there was an indescribable harmony. It seemed that she and the sword were slowly beginning to fit together.
Raising her eyebrows, Yan Yue thought that the spirituality of the sword was not bad. Her skills were not bad, so it was not unpresentable.
"There's still a competition in the morning." Yan Yue opened her mouth but did not say the second half of the sentence. She felt that it was a little mushy and inappropriate for a man to speak to a woman like that. So, she simply remained silent.
Moreover, she was also a little worried that Youyou would … Of course, she could also be thinking too much. It seemed that she had to find a chance to ask her properly.
Youyou's pair of misty almond eyes looked at Yan Yue with a worried and complicated expression. That expression seemed to contain thousands of words, but the latter was immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice her expression.
Yan Yue and Youyou returned to their residence. Min Xinhan and Gu Yi had already woken up. Everyone simply drank some morning tea at the stone table in the courtyard and chatted with each other. It seemed that nothing was different from usual.
A Sect Communication Talisman suddenly floated in front of them. The two words' Yan Yue 'were clearly printed on the paper. They were a little confused. Why did they suddenly receive a Sect Communication Talisman? Who could it be?
Thinking about it, Yan Yue opened the talisman in front of everyone. 'Great beast chaos in Heyi Mountain Range. Tianyi Sect disciples are gathering. Yan Yue is receiving orders.' Great beast chaos?
Yes, when she had left that place, the great beast chaos was about to begin. Now it was time for all the Sect to gather their disciples.
"Yan Yue!
What does it say? "Min Xinhan stuck her head out to take a look, but still saw nothing. She had to ask Yan Yue directly.
After Yan Yue finished reading the message talisman, it turned into a burst of green smoke and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
Yan Yue glanced at the curious people. She thought that there was nothing to hide, so she told them the contents of the letter.
"Great Beast Chaos?
I want to go too. "Youyou blinked and said with curiosity and hope.
"Hmm, it sounds familiar. What's the Great Beast Chaos?"
This time, it was Min Xinhan's turn to be puzzled. She had often heard other disciples mention it, but she had never paid much attention to it. What exactly was the Great Beast Chaos?
"It's nothing. The competition is about to start. Let's go." Yan Yue didn't want to say anything about the beast chaos. With her cultivation base, receiving such a request wasn't a good thing. It would be troublesome if they knew about it.
"Oh." The few of them tidied up a little and walked towards the competition venue.
Today, Yan Yue and the others had to fight. Compared to the previous matches, today's matches were obviously more difficult. However, Yan Yue, Min Han, and Youyou weren't that weak anymore.
In fact, it was relatively easy to catch up in the Foundation Establishment stage. It was easier to pull apart the gap and also easier to close the gap.
Without a doubt, the three of them had successfully advanced and defeated their opponents. Of course, they still had matches tomorrow. After the afternoon, before dusk, the three of them had planned to go back to the peak together tomorrow night. However, Youyou suddenly had something to do and hurriedly left. Min Xinhan was also called away by a female disciple of the same level. Now, only Yan Yue was left alone.
In fact, during today's matches, Yan Yue could feel that she wasn't in the right state. She was always a little fidgety, but she couldn't find the source of this fidgety feeling. Fortunately, her opponents weren't very difficult to deal with. Otherwise, with her current state, it would be troublesome.
In a bad mood, Yan Yue didn't directly return to her residence. Instead, she walked around some nearby gardens and lakes. After feeling a little better, Yan Yue leisurely returned to her residence.
Far away, before she reached the courtyard, she saw that there wasn't a single light in the courtyard. She was slightly surprised. It was already dusk. Why hadn't the two of them returned?
After walking a few steps, she found that there was another Sect Talisman floating in front of her door.
Just as she was about to walk closer, a conversation that surprised Yan Yue came from the bamboo forest not far away. It should be known that ever since she had taken over this courtyard, no one had come to the bamboo forest. Although it couldn't be considered her territory, most people knew not to disturb her.
Of course, it wasn't because they were afraid of her. They were just frightened by the way the Tuantuan had thrown them down the mountain.
Yan Yue originally didn't pay much attention to the vague conversation, but she suddenly heard them talking about a name that she was very familiar with. 'Qi Youyou'.
It was Youyou. Yan Yue was a little concerned. Thus, she held her breath and quietly listened, intending to see what they were going to say.
"Hey!
This time that Youyou is dead for sure. Even if she didn't fall into the pond, she'll probably be punished by the Sect for trespassing. Who told her to be so arrogant? Just because she learned some skills from Yen Gongzi, she thinks she's above everyone else. Let's see if she'll die this time. "The woman pulled a bamboo leaf and said fiercely.
The other woman followed and said, "Haha!
Now there's a good show to watch. Trespassing into the Locking Dragon Pond. All she did was say that Yan Yue was tricked into going there. That idiot actually believed her. Don't you think it's funny? How could there be such a stupid person? "
"Everyone has just entered the Sect. How could anyone who didn't listen to their senior's advice and went there privately have already been secretly dealt with by the Sect? This is a rule set by the Sect Leader himself. No one can escape from it."
"It's already been four hours. I'm afraid that she's already … Hehe!
Why don't we go and watch the show? "
What they said next, Yan Yue didn't hear a single word. There was only one word in her heart: Youyou!
No wonder she had been feeling uneasy these past two days. Her heart had been in a mess. She always had a premonition that something was about to happen. Could it be … No, Youyou.
Thinking about what she might have to face, Yan Yue's heart was in a mess. She didn't pay attention to the two people who were secretly talking. Right now, she didn't have the time to care about them. However, if something happened to Youyou, even if she had to flatten Ming Ye Peak, she definitely wouldn't let those two people go.
Youyou, that little fellow who was like a little sister to her, please don't let anything happen to her.
The uneasiness in Yan Yue's heart grew stronger and stronger. Using her spiritual energy to the extreme, she flew towards the Locking Dragon Pool. The Tuantuan had already informed Yan Yue the day before yesterday that it was going to sleep for a period of time. Yan Yue naturally didn't dare to carelessly summon it again. She could only rely on her own two feet to run over.
When she reached her destination, Yan Yue then realised that there wasn't a single guard outside the fence of the Locking Dragon Pool. Her heart thumped. Youyou!
Unable to care so much, Yan Yue carefully approached the Locking Dragon Pool. The surroundings were so quiet that even the sound of the wind could be heard clearly. Yan Yue even felt that she could hear the sound of her own beating heart.
Once she was within ten meters, Yan Yue slightly narrowed her eyes. She carefully observed the surroundings and the situation inside the Locking Dragon Pool. Her anxious heart also calmed down a bit. She couldn't be impulsive. She had to calm down. If she was impulsive, she wouldn't be able to do anything and would only harm Youyou. Moreover, she couldn't completely listen to the words of those two people. Although Youyou and Shen Han's inexplicable departure today was a bit strange, she couldn't be too sure. Otherwise, it would only bring more trouble.
However, this thought completely disappeared when Yan Yue got a few meters closer.
She saw that there was a large hole on one side of the fence. It was big enough for a person to enter. And inside the fence, the totem 'Musha' that she gave to Youyou was lying there.
And that pool of water also had ripples on it. It seemed to reflect what had just happened.
No, it can't be like this. Yan Yue walked in somewhat absent-mindedly. Looking at the Musha under her feet, she seemed to be in disbelief. She reached out her right hand, wanting to pick up the sword.
However, her hand didn't touch anything. It went straight through the sword and touched nothingness.
Fake?
The alarm in her heart suddenly rang. Yan Yue immediately got up and prepared to leave. But just as she stood up, a needle-like pain came from her chest. It was as if something was gnawing on her flesh.
Yan Yue immediately knelt on the ground. She paused for a moment before she slowly pulled open her collar. On her snow-white chest, a blood-red shadow was particularly prominent. It could be seen clearly through her skin.
Looking at the constantly moving red shadow, Yan Yue only felt her stomach churn. She couldn't help but want to vomit. The worm was in her body. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt even more disgusted.
Everywhere the worm passed, the pain of her flesh being eaten made Yan Yue want to vomit. But she didn't have the strength to do so.
"Chi You." Ah, so this was Chi You. Why did it have to be at this time!
The worm crawled up her throat and seemed to want to walk around her neck. Yan Yue lay on the ground, her hands clutching her neck. It seemed like she wanted to relieve her pain.
Yan Yue didn't notice a mysterious spirit whip floating over. Just as it was about to approach her, it suddenly sped up. Before Yan Yue could react, her body had already been sent flying back by the spirit whip. But behind her, there was only … the water.
With a splash, Yan Yue was like a kite with a broken string. Without a trace of struggle, she fell straight into the water.
The worm had already stopped moving and couldn't feel any pain. Yan Yue tried to move her hands and feet, but her body continued to sink. The feeling of suffocation became more and more intense. The Dragon Lock Pool didn't have any buoyancy. It turned out to be true. She had personally experienced it to understand its reality.
It was pitch black all around. There was nothing but water. Yan Yue finally began to feel afraid. This kind of situation where she couldn't see anything was the most frightening.
She remembered that she had once said that if she had to drown, she would rather jump into the sea or river than jump into a well. The feeling of helplessness from being unable to do anything in the darkness was enough to make her collapse. In fact, she wasn't as strong as she usually looked. She was afraid of this kind of darkness, afraid of spiders, afraid of insects with shells. She was once just an ordinary female university student, wasn't she!
Ah!
The sudden conversation, the unguarded Dragon Lock Pool, the broken fence, the fake sand screen, and the sudden appearance of the spirit whip. It turned out that the intention to harm Youyou was fake. The real intention was to lure her into a trap!
Who in the world had such a great hatred for her, to the point of wanting her life!
She had heard of such plots in novels and dramas. The main character would transmigrate after falling into the water. Before her consciousness finally disappeared, Yan Yue had some hope. If that was true, would she be able to return to her own world?
The long night finally passed. It was a little different from usual. Last night seemed to be abnormally quiet.
However, no one noticed this abnormal situation.
When the fiery red sun slowly rose, the earth seemed to have woken up and began to make sounds. The first sounds were the chirping of birds and beasts. The flowers and trees swayed as they felt the first ray of sunlight. The calm water surface was like a golden mirror under the sunlight. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow over, and the broken water mirror would be like pieces of golden fish scales, constantly flickering with a dazzling light.
However, this kind of beautiful scenery didn't attract anyone. After a while, people's tightly shut doors began to open one after another. For a time, the morning became lively.
The door to Yan Yue's courtyard, Wind Facing Residence, was still tightly shut. The Sect's communication talisman had lost its buoyancy and was lying on the ground in front of the house. Coincidentally, there was a gust of wind, and the communication talisman floated along with the wind and landed in the courtyard.
The communication talisman hadn't been opened. Now that the communication talisman had floated along with the wind, it couldn't find the person it wanted to communicate with. This meant that there was no one it wanted to communicate with, or that the person it wanted to communicate with was no longer here. It was also possible that the person it wanted to communicate with was too far away.
However, in the Tianyi Sect, as long as one had a piece of jade on them, there was no place that the communication talisman couldn't reach.
The competition continued, and no one noticed that three people were missing. It was only when the judges called out their names that some people realized that the three people weren't here today.
At night, Gui Lie and the others came to Yan Yue's Wind Facing Residence. The door was still tightly shut, and there was nothing inside. They felt that it was a little strange.
However, they saw that the courtyard was clean, and there weren't any traces of fighting. They thought that something must have happened.
However, the second and third day passed, and the three people still seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Now, Gui Lie, Death Eye, Qing Shang Quan, Nan Zhimeng and the others finally felt that something was wrong.
On the fourth day, they agreed to stop the competition and look for Yan Yue and the others. At night, they would gather at Yan Yue's Wind Facing Residence. If they still couldn't find them, they could only report this matter to their Senior Brothers and Martial Uncles.
On the other hand, there was a huge commotion in the competition. Because, none of the geniuses came, and they all disappeared together.
Some of the more observant disciples reported this matter to their Martial Uncles. This time, it wasn't just Gui Lie and the others. Those Jindan Period Senior Brothers also began to search for these geniuses.
They didn't leave the Sect, and there weren't any pill talisman and weapon array practice rooms. Gui Lie and the others searched all possible places, but they still couldn't find Yan Yue and the others.
The only person they found was the unconscious Gu Yi behind the bamboo forest, Min Xinhan's servant. However, this made them even more worried.
They gathered together and were considering whether to report this matter to their Martial Uncles. Suddenly, a few figures flew in from outside the courtyard. It was their Senior Brothers and Sisters. They were ordered to search for them.
"What are you all gathered here for? You didn't participate in the competition. Do you think that because you're geniuses, you don't want to participate in the competition?" The Senior Brother in the lead reprimanded somewhat angrily.
"No." Nan Zhimeng took a step forward and said, "Senior Brother, please help us look for them. Yan Yue, Min Xinhan, and Qi Youyou are all missing. We searched everywhere but couldn't find them. Senior Brother, please send more people to look for them!"
Li Tong ignored those people and walked out of the courtyard towards the inner mountains. "Chi Ying, immediately gather the people. We must find Yan Yue's whereabouts. Lin Bi, immediately inform the Martial Uncles about this matter. Quickly!" As for himself, he had to ask his uncle for help.
"Yes!
Young Master! "
