"And what about me?"
A weak voice broke the somewhat tense atmosphere, and everyone then remembered that there was another oddball from the Tianji Sect.
Meng Tianyuan glanced at him and said, "You're coming with me!"
Although this guy doesn't really have any talent in swordsmanship, he is diligent and obedient, and his divination skills are quite good. Taking such a divination practitioner to find people is much better than them searching blindly.
When Nalan Yunye heard that he could follow his idol, he was so happy that he almost jumped for joy. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to his dream of becoming a sword master!
Now that the tasks have been assigned, everyone can take their positions.
The first to disembark were Meng Tianyuan, Yao Yan, and Nalan Yunye. The two top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators went to find the person themselves, and Lin Shuangluo also contributed. With them there, finding the person shouldn't be a problem. Ye Sisi never thought that Lin Shuangluo would perish in the secret realm. After all, he was the villainous cannon fodder who helped the female lead Yang Ming. If he died, how could he obediently serve as a tool?
During this time, Ye Sisi would contact this senior brother whenever she had free time using the communication jade tablet. It was just a pity that she transmigrated a little too late. If it had been earlier, she would definitely not have let this senior brother go out and have fun. Even if he wanted to, she would have shamelessly followed him.
But there are no "what ifs" in this world. All she can do now is to reverse the fate of her third senior brother, who is destined to suffer a terrible fate. As long as they can refine the exorcism pill, even if he is invaded by demonic energy, he will have a chance to start over. Moreover, there is the Ouyang family's Seven-Colored Flower.
By the way, the Seven-Colored Flower is an extremely rare natural treasure. Legend has it that someone ascended to immortality directly after eating the Seven-Colored Flower. Of course, this is just a legend. After verification by later generations, the Seven-Colored Flower can indeed help people improve their cultivation level, but at most by two major realms. However, such improvement will cause instability in the foundation, so true geniuses disdain using it.
However, if someone whose cultivation has been completely destroyed takes the Seven-Colored Flower, they can not only recover directly but also without any aftereffects. After all, they cultivated step by step before, and their mental state and foundation are already there.
This is also why Ouyang Yanyu wanted to obtain the Seven-Colored Flower. Even though she was not sure about Lin Shuangluo's situation, could someone whose soul lamp was unstable and who was very likely to have fallen into the Demon Realm really come back intact?
Although Ye Sisi regretted that she couldn't go directly to rescue her third senior brother, she was quite satisfied with the current itinerary. She felt great that everyone was working together towards a common goal, and even better that she felt mutual help and trust. So how could something happen to such a good sect?
The flying boat crossed the boundless sea and flew for almost a day before arriving at the Cangyuan Continent. The Cangyin Continent was in another direction, so after Su Jiuli dropped them off, she turned around and left with Ye Shubai.
The three, who were visiting such a far place for the first time, were somewhat bewildered. They seemed to have forgotten to ask where the Kendo Tournament was being held and how to register. So they just stood there looking at each other in confusion.
Ouyang Yanyu took out a small flying boat from her spatial ring: "Let's get on first, and we can ask for directions when we run into someone later!"
Indeed, Su Jiuli placed them on a deserted beach. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but golden sand and a dark sea. Even the dark sea was eerily still, like a dead sea.
But it was precisely because of this silence that the three of them felt something was wrong, even a sense of unease, so they had to leave first and find a safe place before they could gather information.
"Master is really something, asking us to participate in the sword competition without even explaining the details!" Ye Sisi couldn't help but mutter.
Bai Luochen said, "This is just Master's style of doing things. You'll get used to it!" Actually, he wanted to say that even his cheap master probably didn't know much about this sword competition. After all, it was a competition between two continents and a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators. It was already good enough that he, a Nascent Soul cultivator, knew about it.
Ouyang Yanyu remained silent, her clear black and white peach blossom eyes warily observing her surroundings. A closer look revealed that her body was taut and her long sword was half-drawn.
Although she was still at the peak of the Golden Core stage, she was already a fourth-level alchemist, and her divine sense was comparable to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. Although she had not detected any danger, the feeling of being constantly on edge still made her body tense.
The flying boat flew for quite a while without encountering any danger. Just when Ouyang Yanyu thought she was overthinking things, a black mist suddenly rose in front of her.
The mist wasn't demonic or ghostly energy; it was just a strange, peculiar energy, somewhere between spiritual power and mental power.
Ouyang Yanyu coldly scoffed: "Seal off your sea of consciousness!"
Bai Luochen had already fallen unconscious at some point, and Ye Sisi's eyes were also lifeless.
Ouyang Yanyu pursed her lips. She seemed to know what this black mist was. It should be the legendary Nightmare Demon, an extremely special existence because it exists between reality and dreams. Moreover, the Nightmare Demon has no ability to split itself into multiple clones. As long as it has clones alive, it will never perish. As long as there are people in this world who dream, it can continuously obtain energy through countless clones.
Ouyang Yanyu never expected to encounter such a thing so soon after arriving in Cangyuan Continent. This kind of demon is so powerful that even her master might not be able to kill it, let alone her Golden Core stage cultivation. After all, as long as one of its clones survives, it is immortal.
She quickly stuffed a calming pill into each of their mouths, hoping they wouldn't get lost in the dream.
Ouyang Yanyu took out a konghou (a type of Chinese harp) from her spatial ring. The melodious and ethereal sound echoed in the flying boat shrouded in black mist.
She was truly grateful that she had received the inheritance of a senior sound cultivator during her training in the secret realm. Although sound cultivators were not good at close combat, their ability to damage the soul and control the field was among the best of all cultivators.
Now that she has encountered a special being like the Nightmare Demon, she can not only prevent it from invading her sea of consciousness, but also help her junior brothers and sisters stay awake.
At this moment, Ye Sisi was condensing the hazy and chaotic mist in her sea of consciousness into a transparent version of herself. She curiously examined the black mist that had suddenly entered her sea of consciousness.
The black mist was crumpled into a ball by Xiao Liuli, accompanied by its shrill screams.
The voice was neither male nor female, just like its form, it was genderless. She reached out and poked the black mist: "Brother, if you call me again, I'll have Little Glazed Tile imprison you in the Pure World Glazed Tile Pagoda for all eternity!"
The black mist immediately stopped howling. Ye Sisi nodded in satisfaction. With a thought, a soft recliner appeared behind her. She leaned back comfortably and raised her chin slightly, saying, "Tell me, what kind of monster are you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a melodious and ethereal zither music entered her mind. She glanced outside and saw that it was her second senior sister playing the zither. Hmm, as expected of her second senior sister, she is so talented!
However, the arrogant atmosphere she had just created was interrupted. Oh dear, what should she do if she can't get back into the mood for a moment!
