Just when Li Yuebai wanted to question the system, there was a commotion outside the door.
A young man rushed in from the outside. He was dressed in black and tied a ponytail. He looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. He had a very handsome face and a free and easy expression. The trick-or-treating type. But now, his brows were tightly furrowed, his expression was anxious, and he rushed towards him without saying hello to the seniors. Seeing his strange behavior, the seniors couldn't help but stop what they were doing and start discussing.
It seems that this boy is the "troublemaker" that Xiao Ai just said.
"Master, Master, something has happened!" The boy in black rushed straight to Li Yuebai, turned around and closed the door, and prostrated himself on the ground panting, "It's urgent!"
Li Yuebai saw that the young man was panting badly, and his body was covered with dust. He expected something serious to happen, but he was not in a hurry to ask questions. He helped him up from the ground first, and handed him a cup of tea, waiting for his breath to calm down. Only then did he ask, "What's the matter?"
The young man took the water, gulped it down twice, then stretched out his hand to wipe off the dust and blood on his face, and hurriedly said: "The Demon Cult! The Demon Cult has already attacked outside the mountain gate! They are yelling that they will massacre the entire Kunlun Fairy Mountain!"
Demon religion? Li Yuebai grumbled inwardly.
It was clear that the courtyard was still calm, but it was unexpected that there was already a great emergency outside the mountain.
At the same time, the system gave out the information of the boy in black:
Jiang Shaoying, fifteen years old, is the protagonist of this world and Mu Qingning's disciple.
Lively by nature and disobedient to restraint, she only respects Mu Qingning very much.
Today, Jiang Shaoying violated the rules and sneaked out of the mountain gate, wanting to do something mischievous, and slipped all the way to the edge of the barrier.
At the foot of the Kunlun Fairy Mountain, there is a magical barrier, like an invisible city wall, guarding the entire fairy mountain.
For fear of being destroyed, ordinary disciples are not allowed to approach near the magic barrier, but Jiang Shaoying did not know what to do, so he slipped past and saw the situation outside.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, you can see a black army of the Demon Cult standing on the plain at the foot of the mountain, the scene is horrifying.
There is no difference between the Demon Cult and the common Demon Cult in other worlds. It is a new force in this world. It has many people and powerful forces. It practices crooked ways and acts very cruelly. It has already caused countless bloody tragedies. This time , Pointing the finger at Kunlun Fairy Mountain.
"How many demons have come?" Li Yuebai asked in a deep voice, calming down.
"It's called 100,000." Jiang Shaoying clenched his fists resentfully. He saw the flag from a distance and heard the clamor of the leader of the Demon Cult. Category…
"Host, please don't panic. In the case of a battle between two sides, it is common to falsely report the number of your own side." The system reminded: "There are often cases where 30,000 people claim to be 100,000, and since it is the Devil's Cult, it must be Count all those ghosts, demons, big ghosts and little ghosts."
Although the number of Demon Cult may not be so large, even though there is a magic barrier blocking the Demon Cult, the Demon Cult will not be able to enter for a while, but the barrier will always be breached. If people are not quickly sent to defend, the consequences will be disastrous.
Jiang Shaoying was quite able to bear it, and she didn't panic and yell outside, but was the first to report herself as a master.
But... Li Yuebai thought again and realized something was wrong.
The Demon Cult's 100,000 troops have all arrived at the foot of the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, and they are about to attack, yet the Kunlun Immortal Mountain doesn't even know about it? Not prepared at all
impossible.
The Demon Cult is a Demon Cult, and it is not an invisible person. As long as it is marching, there will be movement. Kunlun Xianshan has eyes and ears in all directions, and it will definitely report the movement of the Demon Cult to the mountain quickly, and report to the Immortal Lord, and then the Immortal Lord Deliberately deploy your defenses.
According to common sense, Kunlun Xianshan must be prepared for the battle.
"System, please tell me how Kunlun is preparing for the battle." Li Yuebai ordered.
"Kunlun Xianshan learned about the Demon Cult's actions as early as January. The Immortal Lord personally set up defenses, and all the troops were in place. Just this morning, the Immortal Lord personally led thousands of Immortal Elders to the barrier. Observe the enemy's situation..." the system replied.
Isn't that impenetrable
"The Immortal Lord attaches great importance to defense..." Li Yuebai said.
For a moment, the expression on Jiang Shaoying's face became more tangled.
"Master, Immortal Lord... something happened!" Jiang Shaoying finally lowered her voice, and then said this earth-shattering sentence.
The current fairy lord of Kunlun Fairy Mountain, Yu Pengzhi, has been sitting in the position of fairy lord for decades, and has profound skills, what can happen
"Otherwise, Master thinks why the disciple is so flustered?" Jiang Shaoying said: "The disciple watched the Immortal Lord leading the crowd from afar, and hurriedly hid himself, fearing that he would be punished, but only heard a loud noise, and the flames shot up into the sky. When the Immortal Master and the others were in position, they saw a big hole was blown out on the mountain, and the ground was scorched black, and the Immortal Master and all the elders were missing..."
Li Yuebai didn't know what to say for a while.
If placed in the real world, this is a bombing that murdered the supreme leader.
But this is the world of cultivating immortals... If someone deliberately murdered, with the skill of the immortal master, would they not be able to detect it
"System, what's going on? What happened to the fairy master?" I didn't have the time to reason slowly, so I asked the system directly.
"Jiang Shaoying's statement is not wrong." The system paused: "The fairy master is dead."
"Dead?" Li Yuebai choked.
"Yes, he blew himself up to death, and all the bones of the thousands of monks around him were gone," the system said.
"This..." Li Yuebai felt that this was too dramatic. Immortal cultivators were pursuing immortality and supreme mana, but they died so inexplicably
"Kunlun Immortal Lord Yupeng blamed him and died of insanity." The system patiently explained: "Although he has profound skills, he is too greedy. The owner of the fairy mountain is not satisfied with his own lifespan, he only thinks about practicing higher skills, changing his fate against the sky, and improving his life to a higher level... It stands to reason that this is normal in the world of comprehension, but Yupeng blames him for his favor. I recruited some alchemists with insufficient skills, took the wrong elixir, and practiced crooked spells, which caused chaos in the body and blew up to death... "
Li Yuebai recalled some images of Yu Peng scolding the wind and clouds from his memory, but for a while he couldn't connect this glittering figure with the sad ending of being insane.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes perfect sense.
In recent years, Yupeng's temperament has been moody and suspicious, and he doesn't trust the elders, but he favors some alchemists with unknown backgrounds, and often orders them to prepare new elixirs. Leave it to the favored alchemist to take charge.
All kinds of signs made the ending of self-explosion inevitable.
According to Jiang Shaoying's description, when the Immortal Lord blew himself up and died, the flames shot up into the sky, and it was impossible for him to be the only one who saw it. It would not take long for the news to spread throughout the Kunlun Immortal Mountain.
Perhaps, even the Devil's Cult will be aware of this fact.
The huge Kunlun fairy mountain is now in a situation where there is no leader among the dragons.
Excluding the thousands of monks who died in the explosion, there were more than 40,000 people on the mountain, all of whom had good skills. However, without a unified command, they would be nothing but scattered sand, unable to fight against the Demon Cult.
The most urgent task at the moment should be to support the eldest son of the old fairy master to succeed the fairy master.
eldest son…
A message immediately appeared in Li Yuebai's mind.
Yu Pengzhi's eldest son is named Yu Tianliu, who has grown up and has mastered both swordsmanship and Taoism. He is the best candidate for the next fairy master in everyone's minds.
Now that Yu Pengzhi has passed away, the most urgent task is to quickly let Yu Tianliu sit on the position of Immortal Lord, stabilize people's hearts, and then take charge of the overall situation and fight against the Demon Cult.
However, Yu Tianliu... was not in Kunlun Fairy Mountain at all at this time.
As early as ten days ago, he led 5,000 monks to leave Kunlun for an expedition to Jiuli.
Kunlun is located in the northwest, and Jiuli is located in the southwest. Even if Yujian travels with the wind, it will take ten days to reach it.
Yu Tianliu should have just arrived in Jiuli at this moment, not counting the time to deliver the news, even if he turned back immediately, it would take ten days at the earliest to return to Kunlun.
The battle situation is like a field of fire, ten days, for Kunlun who is surrounded by the demon sect, it is absolutely impossible to wait.
…
The next morning, Li Yuebai was woken up.
This body has been cultivated for many years, and its mental power is sharp. Even if there is no real noise outside, it can still feel that countless people have come to the courtyard. Those people all held their breath, as if they didn't dare to disturb him, but he still noticed the aura they emitted.
Li Yuebai slowly opened his eyes and got up.
He didn't panic. Judging from the aura of the people outside the door, they were all from the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, not the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult would not hit here in a while.
"Master." The voices of Jiang Shaoying and Xiao Ai came from outside the door: "Master, someone is asking to see you."
These two children usually talk about the same level, but now they are both calm and serious.
"Who is it?" Li Yuebai asked in a deep voice.
The people outside the door were silent for a while, and then they announced their names one by one.
Every time he heard a name, the strings in Li Yuebai's heart tightened.
Today, those who come to my door are all famous figures on Kunlun Immortal Mountain, the right-hand man of the Immortal Lord, such as Priest Yun, Pavilion Master Su, Protector Li...
After the name was declared, it took a long time before the door opened slowly.
Outside the door, there was a courtyard full of people, all of them with extraordinary postures, or holding whisks, or wearing long swords at their waists, and the courtyard was full of Qionglin Yushu for a while.
Li Yuebai stepped out of the threshold slowly. Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, nodded, and then saluted Li Yuebai in unison.
"Master Mu, this is the crisis of life and death for Kunlun Fairy Mountain!"
"Master Mu Xian, I hope you will put the overall situation first..."
"Master Mu Xian, only you can take on this important task."
…
The formation is too big.
Li Yuebai felt dizzy for a moment.
He has seen and experienced a lot of door-to-door begging for help, but he has never experienced this kind of thing—a whole group of big figures from the Xiuxian sect gathered in one place and made the same request in unison. heavy.
"Everyone, what's the reason for coming to the humble house?" He had no choice but to respond.
"Master Mu, please don't joke anymore. You must have already known the current situation—the Demon Cult's army has approached the mountain, the Immortal Lord has unfortunately passed away, and the Kunlun Immortal Mountain is in turmoil. Everyone is mourning..." said a fairy elder.
"Yes, now, only you can turn the tide." You said humanely.
"Although we occupy important positions, we cannot take on important responsibilities. Only you, Master Mu Xian, can save 50,000 disciples from the fire and water!"
…
"I have been idle for many years, and all matters are unreasonable." Li Yuebai sighed: "I'm afraid I will disappoint you all."
Everyone's face froze, but they insisted on pleading, and praised all the compliments. One said that Mu Qingning was a rare genius, and the other said that Mu Qingning was the originator of the art of war. They seemed to have suddenly realized this huge fact.
Li Yuebai sorted out his memories - during Mu Qingning's so many years of vacancy, these immortal elders never mentioned a word about him, and those military exploits were either taken away or forgotten.
For so many years, Mu Qingning himself was of course happy to hide in peace, but now that the crisis is approaching, this peace can no longer be avoided.
