Chapter 74
Almost at the moment when the system appeared, Li Yunzheng and He Jian both locked onto its location, with Li Yunzheng's feeling being more obvious.
Because she had felt the existence of the system before, although it had been quite a while, but now the fluctuations of the system were more obvious, which was obvious.
The last time the system's whereabouts were exposed was when it was using energy and the fluctuations were even greater, but this time, the system just made a sound.
As she was thinking about it, Li Yunzheng narrowed her eyes.
No, not only the sound, but now even when the system is not speaking, Li Yunzheng can feel the tiny fluctuations. It's just that they are so tiny that they are covered by the energy from Nan Xi, so Li Yunzheng didn't notice it at the first time.
She slowly sat up straight, lowered her eyes slightly, and stopped looking in the direction of the system to avoid being noticed by it.
When Nan Xi's gaze turned over, Li Yunzheng stood up and moved closer to Nan Xi.
She had a vague feeling that she could touch the system.
To be honest, as long as Li Yunzheng doesn't change into the opposite sex, then nothing she does would be strange, and Nan Xi didn't pay much attention to her.
But he inexplicably felt that Li Yunzheng's eyes were a little strange, so he took a look.
Before she could see clearly, the other person had already circled around her, then curled his lips, and his expression seemed to be extremely happy.
Nan Xi: “?”
"The aura of my nephew is very good and solid."
Li Yunzheng slowly walked back to the stool, then sat down, returning to his previous laziness.
No one noticed the gleam in her eyes.
Although she didn't know what was going on, her feeling just now was probably correct. The existence of the system could be sensed, and although the system itself could not be seen, it felt like it could be touched.
Nan Xi was completely confused and couldn't help muttering to herself.
[I don't know what's going on, just assume that Master is sick again. ]
Li Yunzheng, who was thinking about how to catch the system: "?"
She couldn't help laughing and laughed twice, "Haha."
Nan Xi: “?”
Seeing Nan Xi looking at him with a confused look, He Jian coughed lightly and finally connected his thoughts that were interrupted by the system. He said, "Okay, as a senior uncle, stop teasing your disciple all the time."
Nan Xi also picked up her thoughts from being interrupted by Li Yunzheng.
She was ready to follow her disciple's suggestion and go find out what happened, so she said, "My disciple thinks..."
"Forget it. Let's stick to the original plan and let you go and find out." He Jian interrupted Nan Xi and said seriously, "Master, I suddenly remembered that Qi Zhao has a lot of things to do, so he can't go this time."
Nan Xi: “…”
She was silent for a while, trying to understand the situation, and then nodded, "Disciple understands."
[Master, what’s wrong with you today? You’re so inconsistent. Could it be that you’re really getting old…]
【Pooh, pooh, pooh, respect your teachers. Respect your teachers.】
Nan Xi muttered to herself, then looked up at the person in front of her. She felt that He Jian's expression was a little strange, so she smiled at him ingratiatingly.
He Jian gave her an unpleasant look and then waved his hand.
"There is nothing else to do. Please leave."
"Okay."
Although still a little confused, Nan Xi walked out quickly. She always felt that the looks of He Jian and Li Yunzheng were a little bit penetrating today.
It is not advisable to stay here for long.
Seeing Nan Xi's decisive and swift move, Li Yunzheng couldn't help but laugh again and said to He Jian, "Brother, after so many years, it seems that your disciple hasn't changed at all."
He Jian sighed slightly.
After so many years, Nan Xi is no longer the naive little kid, nor is she the ignorant youngster. It is time for her to stand on her own.
Naturally, we can no longer access it at any time like before.
Especially in the last few decades, the two have met less and less frequently.
Just thinking about this, He Jian felt a little melancholy.
When Nan Xi was first brought back, she was only this young.
Li Yunzheng interrupted his melancholy, still sitting in that lazy posture, crossing her legs, and said, "Brother, you should have seen it, right?"
Talking about business, Kazuken's expression turned serious.
He naturally knew what Li Yunzheng was talking about. There was definitely something next to Nan Xi just now, and he saw it clearly.
He Jian and Li Yunzheng are studying different things, so He Jian is actually more sensitive than Li Yunzheng. He not only feels the existence of the system, but can also see the approximate shape of the system through the fluctuations of energy.
Combined with Li Yunzheng's expression after the investigation, he now understood what Li Yunzheng meant.
Then he said in a deep voice, "What should we do next?"
Now that you can see and touch it, you don’t have to think about what to do next.
"Let's talk about how to catch it?"
Although we have not yet fully understood the strength of the system, it is still the same: if the system has great capabilities, it can completely control more people to achieve its goals.
Perhaps there are indeed some mysterious abilities that can influence the development of some things, but I think they are limited.
Coupled with the system's helplessness when they previously sabotaged the plot, all the signs indicate that, at the very least, the system's combat effectiveness can be said to be vulnerable.
He Jian pondered for a moment.
"Now there are two questions. Should we let Xi'er know about our arrest of the system?"
"And if we don't let Xi'er know, then how can we capture the system without telling her?"
This is indeed a problem.
Li Yunzheng thought about it. If they wanted to get them to reveal the system, then Nan Xi would have to know about the disclosure of their inner thoughts. And if they wanted to capture the system, in reality they had no chance of success.
The best plan is to confess to Nan Xi after catching the system.
Li Yunzheng also had her own considerations. After all, if she didn't catch the system, and Nan Xi knew that her thoughts were heard by others, the situation would become unsightly.
Looking at He Jian again, it seems that he has the same idea as her.
"If Xi'er can cooperate with us, maybe it will be easier to capture the system, but the most likely thing is that when we talk to Xi'er, we will just startle the snake."
He Jian said: "Although I don't know why the system's whereabouts were exposed, it is clear that it itself did not realize it. It has always been a change that people are unaware of. We should make good use of this."
With this reason, it was decided not to tell Nan Xi about this for the time being.
Li Yunzheng nodded, and as for how to implement the action of arresting the system without letting Nan Xi know...
After a brief thought, Li Yunzheng snapped his fingers.
"Isn't there an opportunity soon?"
He Jian looked at her and saw that she raised her eyebrows, and the expression on her lips and eyes was full of confidence.
…
Nan Xi indeed did not realize that the system had revealed its tail. Her realm was not high enough, and no matter how sharp she was, she could not reach the level of Li Yunzheng and He Jian.
After she returned, she began to prepare for the trip.
This time the plot involves danger and mutual suffering, so there will inevitably be injuries and even loss of consciousness. Loss of consciousness is almost inevitable.
So what Nan Xi needs to prepare is to ensure her own safety during the period when she loses consciousness.
As for the migration?
Even though they shared hardships, Qi Qian did not help Nan Xi much in this plot, because there was also Luo Tingyun traveling with them. Under the same circumstances, Qi Qian chose Luo Tingyun.
Thinking of this, Nan Xi paused.
It's not that I had any emotional arousal, but I suddenly thought that since my junior sister might also be in danger, I should prepare some things for her.
Don't let Qiqian take advantage of people without them realizing it.
Since the mission had already been issued, there wasn't much time left for Nan Xi and Luo Tingyun. On the next day, they were ready to go.
Luo Tingyun had received the news before. Although he didn't know where Li Yunzheng was, he knew there was someone behind her.
As before, Luo Tingyun showed no abnormality on his face.
The location this time is still not far from the Tianyun Sword Sect, but this time it is in the complete suburbs, in the deep forest, deserted and uninhabited. Although it is not a very dangerous forest, in such a sparsely populated place, the spirit beasts are usually more ferocious.
When Nan Xi and Luo Tingyun arrived, quite a few people had already gathered nearby.
Everyone set up camp here, including some in the Yuanying period.
But the most core position is empty.
There are independent cultivators as well as people from sects here. No matter whether the unusual movement here is due to some treasure or secret realm, the only thing that is beyond doubt is that this is the sphere of influence of the Tianyun Sword Sect.
In other words, the Tianyun Sword Sect has absolute initiative here, and that piece of open space was voluntarily reserved for the Tianyun Sword Sect by everyone.
But this is just setting up camp. It’s hard to say if it’s a secret realm in the future. If a treasure comes out, then we still have to grab it. Whoever is capable will get it, no matter which sect it is.
Nan Xi did not hesitate and set up camp in the open space. Not long after, there was a person in front of him.
She looked up and saw Ji Huizhou smiling at her, "Daoyou Nanxi, long time no see."
Ji Huizhou and her met in a secret realm several decades ago. They had occasional contact since then. They were not very familiar with each other, but they could still talk.
Nan Xi just took a look and smiled.
"Breakthrough to the Yuanying stage? Congratulations."
"It happened several years ago." Ji Huizhou smiled modestly, looked at Nan Xi, and praised him, "Daoyou's aura is very stable. I think there won't be any surprises if you break through again in the future."
After so many years, Ji Huizhou is still full of vigor and vitality. This aura is very good. However, when Nan Xi thought about the subsequent plot, she still felt a little regretful.
However, Nan Xi had read the plot several times but still couldn't figure out the real reason why Ji Huizhou was possessed by a demon, so naturally she had no idea where to start.
Luo Tingyun followed Nan Xi and naturally said a few words to Ji Huizhou. After the greetings, they went back to their own business.
Naturally, Nan Xi and Luo Tingyun were not the only ones who came this time. There were also some inner disciples, including Shi Ye.
Shi Ye came from the outer sect, and his basic skills were very solid, so he didn't have to start from scratch with the previous batch of disciples, so he was able to come out and gain experience.
He was also close to Nan Xi, but since the last incident, he had become even quieter. Nan Xi was not sure whether such silence was a good thing or a bad thing, so she could only let it develop.
The disciples set up tents for temporary residence in this area, and the work was in full swing. It was actually quite lively.
At this moment, someone entered their sight.
Nan Xi looked at Qi Qian's appearance with a slightly gloomy look in her eyes.
【Here we are.】
