Chapter 40 Jiang Yuemian tenderly placed a long kiss on Shen Que's forehead...
It seems like I'm hallucinating. How could I hear my master's voice in the secret realm?
Shen Que's eyelashes trembled.
"Ah, yes! Ah, yes!"
The voice drew closer, and it wasn't until Jiang Yuemian helped Shen Que up that Shen Que realized he wasn't dreaming; he had truly seen his master.
"Master, Your Excellency."
Shen Que wanted to smile at Jiang Yuemian, but his body was covered in wounds, and pulling his mouth would aggravate the injuries on his face.
"hiss..."
"Don't move, I'll heal your wounds."
Jiang Yuemian felt heartbroken. She had never seen Shen Que like this before. He was covered in injuries and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. She felt her heart was aching too.
Large amounts of spiritual energy surged into Shen Que's meridians, and his injuries healed at a visible speed. The injuries on Shen Que's face also healed, and only minor injuries remained on his body.
Jiang Yuemian kissed Shen Que's forehead tenderly, which surprised Shen Que. Before he could react, she said, "A-Que, don't move here. I'm going to help Xiao Chen and the others."
"good."
Jiang Yuemian's arrival made things much easier for the others. After the battle ended, Jiang Yuemian treated their wounds one by one.
Once everyone had recovered, Jiang Yuemian spoke: "I suppose you have also noticed that there is something strange about the secret realm, involving demonic energy. You should set off now to find the other participating disciples and make sure everyone is gathered together so that we can deal with any unexpected events."
Nangong Chen: "Yes, Uncle-Master."
Demonic energy. No wonder my uncle has come in; he must have sent people in as well.
Shen Que: "Master, what about you?"
Shen Que's eyes were filled with worry, and her eyes were a little red. Normally, she would definitely bully him, but the situation was urgent and full of danger, so she really had no mood for it.
"I am going to find the source of the demonic energy."
Upon hearing this, all five fell silent.
The source of the demonic energy must be extremely dangerous, but their strength won't help; instead, it will only hinder us. So, Jiang Yuemian has to go alone.
"Alright, who am I? I'm your most powerful senior uncle. And Ah Que, don't worry, Master will definitely return safely."
"Without further ado, I'll go now. Remember what I said, and do everything you can to stay united."
After Jiang Yuemian finished speaking, she smiled at everyone, but her expression changed when she turned her head. She had her mission, and no matter what kind of conspiracy it was, she had to stop it.
......
Shang Yi had been following the people in front for a long time. After leaving the Nanshan Sect's gate, the people in front were obviously very cautious, and she was also very careful. Finally, the people in front entered a courtyard in the city.
She quickly peered through the crack in the door to check the situation inside the yard, but after looking to both sides, the person had vanished.
She felt something was strange and uneasy.
Strange, where did they go?
A voice suddenly came from above—
"Looking for me."
Inside the palace, Liwen.
Xiao Mingjue paced back and forth in the main hall of Liwen Palace. Ever since Jiang Yuemian sent him a message, he immediately sent a telepathic message to Jiang Yuemian, telling her not to act rashly and that he would send someone over immediately. However, he did not receive a reply for a long time, and he guessed that something had happened.
Sure enough, when he asked others to send messages to Jiang Yuemian, they received no reply. There was only one reason for this: the Liwen Palace had been set up with a barrier, and the fact that he and his fellow disciples had not discovered it meant that the person who set up the barrier was more powerful than them.
They waited for several days, but no one attacked Liwen Palace, which meant that their target was not them, but Jiang Yuemian.
Xiang Chaosheng was dizzy from being turned around by Xiao Mingjue: "Senior brother, don't go anymore, it's no use walking, sit for a while."
"well."
Xiao Mingjue took a seat.
Qian Shanxue: "We can't go on like this. We have to get out. If their target is really Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu doesn't have anyone useful by his side, then it will be dangerous."
Gong Youning: "Yes, Senior Sister is right."
Xiao Mingjue: "Do you think I don't want to go out? We've tried everything these past few days, but we just can't get out. Don't think I'm not worried. I'm more worried than any of you. I raised Xiao Wu."
Xiang Chaosheng: "Senior brother, then let's set up the Myriad Spirits Array."
The Myriad Spirits Array, as the name suggests, is an array formed by piling up spiritual energy. As long as there is enough spiritual energy, it can break the seal. However, the person in charge of the array will consume too much energy, and will be seriously injured or even die.
Xiang Chaosheng was a world-renowned master of array formations, so he certainly knew what he was talking about. Precisely because he had spoken out, it meant he had thought it through clearly, and no amount of persuasion could change that.
The others remained silent; none of them, being fellow disciples, wanted anything to go wrong.
"Alright, hurry up, or Xiao Wu will cry." Seeing that they didn't answer for a long time, Xiang Chaosheng continued.
His voice carried a hint of laughter, but it prevented anyone from laughing.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Mingjue finally made the decision: "Xiaoxue, Youning, go and prepare."
Qian Shanxue and Gong Youning were moved: "Yes."
...
Jiang Yuemian had already walked forward in the direction 001 had indicated, and there was only a cave ahead.
She thought, "This must be it."
The cave entrance was pitch black, so she took out a lamp from her storage bag and walked along, cautiously observing the surroundings.
The cave is unremarkable from the outside, but inside it is a completely different world.
She wandered through the cave, which was very large and seemed to connect to other areas. She could see murals on the walls.
She couldn't understand the text on the mural, but she could understand the painting. As she slowly walked inside, the content of the mural became coherent. First, a man in a black robe placed an insect-like monster in a jar.
Then, the man in black robes went through many hardships to find a snow lotus on a snowy mountain. He excitedly returned to the house where he had started and threw the snow lotus into the pot where he was making medicinal soup.
In the third painting, he appears drowsy, and there is a cross in the upper left corner of the painting, perhaps signifying ten days.
The fourth picture shows him ladling out the medicinal soup and then throwing the insects from the jar into it.
The last painting depicts an insect conversing with a man in black robes.
Strange? Could this be a member of the demon race?
Jiang Yuemian, still puzzled, continued walking inside with the lamp in her hand.
Suddenly, she heard a buzzing, self-talking sound.
"Where is my child, my child?"
"Ah, so this is where it is."
The buzzing sound gave Jiang Yuemian a headache. Could that buzzing sound be from that insect on the stone wall?
She walked further, and sure enough, it was an insect the size of a palm that was talking.
The scene was quite bizarre.
This insect is black with red eyes and looks very much like a fly, or perhaps it is a fly that has been mutated by the black-robed man using a potion.
The fly saw Jiang Yuemian and buzzed over to her.
"You've arrived?"
Who is it? Is it speaking to me, or is it waiting for me?
001, do you know what this is?
[Waaaaah, Mianmian001 doesn't know either, maybe it was made by demons?]
Very likely.
Seeing that Jiang Yuemian remained silent, the fly continued, "You've come. Why did it take you so long? I know how they are, but I was thinking, after my child is born, I'll bring it to see you, okay?"
Jiang Yuemian peeked at the fly's mouth. What was it saying? Was it really waiting for me? Them? Who were they? Were they demons?
It also wants to bring its children to see me.
Jiang Yuemian had many questions in her mind and couldn't wait to ask them.
"Who are you? What is your relationship with the demons?"
"Me? I am who I am. I've been waiting for you for so long."
Its eyes suddenly dimmed, and it continued, but this time its voice was muffled: "They threw away the child I had been longing for, the one I had picked from row after row of eggs."
Jiang Yuemian's head started to hurt again.
Something's not right. This fly is strange. Could it be the cause of the rampaging monsters outside?
She tentatively asked, "You're talking about your child? You're looking for your child?"
"Yes, they abandoned my child, so I'm looking for him."
Could it be that the demon abandoned its child, which caused it to make a sound that indirectly drove the monster mad?
If that's really the case, then it's quite a blunder.
Jiang Yuemian said, "I'll help you find your child. Can you sense the location of your child?"
After hearing this, the fly's strange face even showed a smile.
"That's great! I knew you were a good person. No wonder someone asked me to wait for you. But please wait a moment while I cast a divination."
Someone told it to wait for her... But can a fly really tell fortunes?
Not only could it, but the fly was extremely skilled at it, and it could calculate the answer in no time.
"Alright, now is the auspicious time, let's set off."
"Wait a minute, stop transmitting your voice first. The monsters outside have gone berserk because of your influence."
"Oh, sorry, I'll put it away right away."
...
Meanwhile, most of the disciples outside had gathered and were fighting fiercely with the demonic beasts. Suddenly, the red in the demonic beasts' eyes faded, their clarity returned, and they all came running over.
"......"
Ji Nianzi: "What's going on, bro?"
Shen Que pursed his lips, thinking that there must have been progress on his master's side, and it seemed to have been successful. He wondered, however, whether his master had been injured...
Jiang Yuemian followed the directions provided by the fly and soon arrived at the desert where she had started.
The desert felt even more damp, making it extremely uncomfortable.
Fly: "It's right here."
Jiang Yuemian squatted down, supporting herself on the desert surface with her hands, and poured her spiritual energy into the ground. However, only half of the spiritual energy went in before she could go no further, so she withdrew her hands.
"Try calling your child, but don't make a buzzing sound." She didn't want the monsters outside to continue their rampage.
"Okay, okay."
So the flies started to buzz, and as soon as they started buzzing, the ground began to shake.
Jiang Yuemian's eyes sharpened, and she flew into the air.
Fortunately, the flight was timely. Suddenly, something burst out of the ground in the desert, and it was extremely large.
The fly flew up and cried, "My child, my child."
Its child?
Jiang Yuemian has now seen the full appearance of the demonic beast. It is a giant fly that looks very much like a fly, except that its eyes are reddish-black. Jiang Yuemian guesses that it has been affected by demonic energy.
"Danger! Come over here first!"
Hearing the sound, the fly flew back, its tone very anxious: "My child doesn't recognize me!"
Just as Jiang Yuemian was about to say that it was being controlled, a man in black robes suddenly appeared next to the giant fly.
"Long time no see, old friend."
