Chen Xiao suddenly felt dizzy, his feet swayed and he almost lost his balance. Xi Yunting rushed out of the house and supported him.

There was a scream behind them, and the unprepared Ershun couple fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" Chen Xiao grabbed Xi Yunting's arm. Xi Yunting looked serious and floated him into the air: "The ground is shaking!"

Chen Xiao turned his head and saw the ground shaking violently, with large chunks of fallen rocks falling off the surrounding mountains.

From a distance, you can see smoke rising into the sky, and a low, chilling whistle can be heard.

Xi Yunting waved his hand, and Wu Xinzhi and Ershun floated up.

Houses cracked and collapsed in such huge tremors.

Fortunately, the people living here are all cultivators and their families. They are all quite skilled and escaped from the houses in time when the earthquake started.

After shaking for a while, the tremor not only did not stop, but became more and more intense.

The towering mountain was torn apart by this powerful force, and the entire mountain broke apart. Rocks collapsed over a large area, creating huge, bottomless cracks.

Now the immortal cultivators could no longer remain calm. In the face of the massive disaster, they could only shout and cry.

But Chen Xiao didn't have time to watch the tragedy.

In his eyes, the ripples in the air were violently shaking, as if a corner of a sticker covering up the truth had been lifted up, finally revealing its horrible true appearance.

He stared with wide eyes, looking at the thick evil spirit released by the earthquake in horror, and cried out: "...Evil Dragon!"

The earthquake was centered in Mount Bokun, with a magnitude of no less than nine, an intensity rarely seen in the world.

It was said afterwards that half of the Luochen Realm felt the huge shock.

But at that time, those who were in it only felt that the power was so strong that it almost made them despair.

Xi Yunting was the closest and was the first to arrive at the mountain gate and activate the mountain gate formation.

This formation can only defend against foreign invasions. It has no way to stop such a powerful earthquake, but it can create a safe place for people to hide.

It was because of Xi Yunting's prompt decision that the outer disciples with the lowest cultivation level avoided major casualties.

Taixuan and the other leaders of the Office of Management quickly organized manpower, maintained buildings in various places, and escorted the disciples into safe caves for refuge.

Xi Yunting received a message from Liu Shaoguang confirming the safety of all parties, and volunteered to stay at the outer gate to maintain order.

Chen Xiao entered the mountain gate formation along with other outer disciples and was temporarily isolated in a specially set aside space.

The earthquake lasted for a full quarter of an hour, with the vibrations increasing from weak to strong, and finally from the strongest to disappearing.

Unlike ordinary earthquakes, there were no aftershocks. After waiting for a few days to confirm that there would be no more earthquakes, the disciples who had taken refuge in various places were evacuated.

During this period, Taixuan had discussed the post-disaster disposal plan with the Office of Administration, and began reconstruction and resettlement calmly.

Ershun had never experienced such a great disaster, and unfortunately it happened on her wedding day.

What made her even more worried and terrified was that this seemed to be caused by her brother Xiao.

She didn't dare to speak or ask anyone, and her lips were almost bitten to pieces. No matter how Wu Xinzhi consoled her, it was useless. In just three days and three nights, she had lost a lot of weight.

As the "culprit", Chen Xiao's face was also pale, but he was still calm.

He had recovered from his initial shock. The situation couldn't get any worse. His emotions were boiling to the extreme and his nerves were numb.

When Xi Yunting came to pick him up, he saw Chen Xiao, who had no expression on his face and whose face was as pale as a bloodless stone.

"Brother Xiao, are you scared?" Xi Yunting hugged him tightly in his arms with heartache, completely ignoring the fact that there were many outer disciples around.

"I'm fine." Chen Xiao grabbed his clothes and absorbed his warmth. He raised his head, looked into Xi Yunting's eyes and said, "I want to see Master Taisu. I have a discovery that may be related to Master Taisu's health."

Xi Yunting's expression suddenly changed, and he asked solemnly: "Is it related to Feng Shui?"

Chen Xiao nodded: "I have to see Master Taisu again with my own eyes to be sure."

Xi Yunting held Chen Xiao's arm tightly, and without saying a word, he took him to Zhaocui Palace in Taisu.

There were far fewer people in the hall than before, as they had all been sent to participate in post-disaster reconstruction.

The disciple on duty saw that it was Xi Yunting coming over, bowed his head and said, "Master is sleeping."

Xi Yunting said solemnly, "We are just going in to take a look and will not disturb Master's rest."

The disciple gently pushed open half of the door and let the two of them in.

Chen Xiao followed Xi Yunting and walked silently to Tai Su's bed.

Tai Su was buried in the quilt, his face was abnormally grayish-white, and his forehead was dark. His withered and skinny wrists were exposed, and his whole body exuded a dying aura.

Chen Xiao blamed himself for not seeing it at the beginning. He was so familiar with the scene in front of him. Just because he didn't expect it, he missed the opportunity to see the truth!

"Brother Xiao?" Xi Yunting sent a message to him.

Chen Xiao turned his head to look at Xi Yunting, who was looking at him with anxious and expectant eyes.

He knew what kind of bad news he was about to tell and what kind of harm it would cause to Xi Yunting.

He hesitated for a long time between concealing the truth and telling it, before choosing the latter.

One day, Xi Yunting will understand all of this. His concealment at this moment is not only meaningless, but may also make Xi Yunting resent him.

After exhaling, he nodded to Xi Yunting, and the two of them quietly walked out of Tai Su's room.

"I'll go call Senior Brother and the others!" Xi Yunting said immediately after leaving the room and closing the door.

"Wait a minute!" Chen Xiao held his hand, "I want to talk to you alone first!"

Xi Yunting was a little confused, but still took him to the room on the east side.

At this point, Chen Xiao did not keep the secret any longer and said straight to the point: "The cause of Master Taisu's illness is the same as in my previous life, he suffered a backlash!"

Xi Yunting's eyes widened slightly. Facing his incredulous gaze, Chen Xiao said affirmatively: "I am definitely not mistaken! It is exactly the same as when I was there. The vitality is constantly lost, and the internal organs begin to weaken. Master Taisu is a cultivator, so this process is not obvious and will be very long."

Xi Yunting found it hard to accept. It wasn't that he didn't believe Chen Xiao, but this was too unbelievable.

He shook his head unconsciously and said, "This is impossible. Feng Shui has only been spread since you came into this world. I have never heard of it before."

Chen Xiao said: "For young people who have never been exposed to Feng Shui before, it is difficult to let them know what Feng Shui is all about. But when the cultivation reaches the fusion stage, the more you perceive the laws of heaven and earth, the easier it is to know the unknown principles. Master Tai Su may have just relied on the induction between heaven and man to set up this Feng Shui layout."

In my previous life, this would have been almost impossible. Without the summary of my predecessor and without having learned the basic knowledge, it would have been a pipe dream to do Feng Shui based solely on intuition.

But it was different in this world. Immortal cultivators had long lives. As long as they studied hard and summed up their own experience, they would always be able to achieve success. The only difference was whether they had the heart to do so.

Moreover, Chen Xiao suspected that this world had a close relationship with the previous world, and Feng Shui might have existed before. It was just limited in development and was truly lost.

Xi Yunting frowned and said, "Then Master, can you use the method you used back then?"

Chen Xiao shook his head with a heavy heart. "The Feng Shui layout set up by Master Taisu is thousands of times more powerful than what I had back then. Using the same method is just a drop in the bucket. What's more, Master Taisu's situation was much more serious than mine back then."

Chen Xiao dragged on for another ten years, but still couldn't get rid of the backlash, and Xi Yunting himself didn't dare to hold out any hope. But despite this, he still felt gloomy.

"Master, what kind of feng shui did you do?" Xi Yunting asked.

Finally coming to this, Chen Xiao sighed inwardly.

"At that time, I was arranging Feng Shui instruments in Ershun's new home, but it caused the aura there to become turbulent, resulting in a chain reaction, which led to this earthquake." After a pause, Chen Xiao continued, "It was then that I discovered that the Feng Shui of Jiukun Mountain had changed from a prosperous dry dragon to a ferocious backlash dragon!"

Xi Yunting has been with Chen Xiao for such a long time and knows a lot about Feng Shui. He immediately noticed something wrong.

"As Xiao said, if the Feng Shui of Jiukun Mountain turns into a backlash evil dragon, it should become a fierce place, where no grass grows and people and animals can hardly survive. But now Jiukun Mountain is full of vitality, and the disciples live and work in peace and contentment, and there has been no abnormality."

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, do you really think there is nothing wrong with Jiukun Mountain? The most notable feature of a Feng Shui treasure land is favorable weather and good harvests. If there is really nothing wrong with Jiukun Mountain, there wouldn't be the bad wind like the one at the back of Youkun Mountain."

Xi Yunting was startled, then nodded slowly and said, "Jiukun Mountain is indeed windy all year round, and wind disasters often occur. It has been like this since I entered the mountain. I have become accustomed to it, so I ignore it."

Chen Xiao said in a low voice with a bitter mouth: "If it weren't for my elder brother, the situation in Jiukun Mountain would not be limited to a mere wind disaster. Instead, it would collapse in a disaster that is stronger and more severe than the previous earthquake. The cause of the earthquake was that I adjusted the aura in a small area, causing the area to be unbalanced, and the suppressed backlash dragon took the opportunity to resist. Then it gradually subsided, and there were no aftershocks, because it was quelled by a more powerful aura."

Xi Yunting was speechless and just stared at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao couldn't guess what he was thinking, maybe he was thinking nothing.

Xi Yunting's voice rang out in the silent room, "What on earth do you want to say, Xiaodi?"

Chen Xiao closed his eyes and said softly: "If you want to suppress this fierce dragon, you can only use a more prosperous and stronger dragon vein aura than this dragon to guard it. And brother, you are that guardian."
