Chapter 90

There are very few high-level monks in small towns. There is only one Yuanying stage monk in a town, and it is common to have dozens of Jindan stage monks.

It was also difficult for these dozen people to take care of all the tens of thousands of low-level monks in the city.

Nan Xi went down and saw that no more than half of the people were in good health and could move freely. Many people had injuries and looked distressed.

So she turned around, glanced at her fellow junior brothers and sisters, and then spoke.

"Junior Brother Qi Zhao, Junior Sister Xin Xi, you lead those who can still walk to a safe place, and the rest of you come with me to rescue people."

In fact, sword cultivators are not suitable for saving people, and the healing skills they have learned can only heal some superficial injuries. But fortunately, they have broad spiritual power and extraordinary physical strength, and with the assistance of external objects, they can continuously transport the wounded.

Qi Zhao and Shen Xinxi have always been reliable and generous in their work, and their appearance is more elegant than ordinary swordsmen, making them suitable to be guides.

After giving the order, Nan Xi looked at Luo Tingyun and nodded to him.

"After this, everyone will have to work harder for a while."

"This isn't hard work at all. This is what we should do."

Lou Wenzhu snorted, and her face, which always had a bright and lively smile, was full of seriousness. After saying this, she walked ahead.

Nan Xi glanced at Luo Tingyun and said nothing more. He stepped forward and began to rescue those low-level monks who were unable to move.

Later, a group of disciples from the Tianyun Sword Sect came over. They brought with them mobile rescue tools and could carry dozens of people at a time. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

The difficulty of this rescue is not high.

There is no way anyone could survive in that huge rift, and those who are small or buried underground are the focus of this operation.

For the monks, it is not difficult to rescue people from such a deep burial.

The only difficulty is to race against time, find people who still have signs of life, rescue them, and race against time, without a moment's delay.

Nan Xi didn't stop or rest for a single moment throughout the entire day.

It wasn't until the evening that I finally got some time to breathe.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the small town, and half of the survivors followed Qi Zhao and Shen Xinxi first. Among the remaining half, a large part of them could be easily moved and could be taken away by simply carrying their magic weapons.

The very small remaining part, which was the main part that Nan Xi saved, was buried underground.

This day was relatively peaceful, with no new changes occurring on the ground. Until this moment, when Nan Xi was about to go search, she was stopped by Luo Tingyun.

"There is no trace of anyone alive underground."

Nan Xi's hand paused and slowly stopped.

She looked at the ruined town in front of her, her hands still stained with dust, and asked softly, "Is it gone?"

"Um."

Luo Tingyun responded. Seeing that Nan Xi seemed to be in a low mood, he wanted to say something, but Nan Xi had already turned around and faced him.

"What about the wounded? Are there any still in the city?"

Luo Tingyun shook his head. "No, they have all been moved out."

Just as Luo Tingyun said, within Nan Xi's sight, there was no one except the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect.

When they leave, this place will become an empty city.

While she was still thinking, Nan Xi felt the pressure from the sky increasing. She took one last look at the situation in the town and made a sword gesture.

"Let's go."

Luo Tingyun didn't say much, just responded to Nan Xi's words and held his sword at the same time.

Everyone in the town was moved to another town a hundred miles away. It was predicted that the disaster would not spread to other places.

All the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect evacuated, and Nan Xi came to the temporary shelter.

At this time, most people in the shelter were depressed, with no smile on their faces. Nan Xi looked around and saw the Great Elder walking towards her.

With such a big thing happening, someone from the Tianyun Sword Sect must come out to take charge of the situation. Nan Xi is still a junior and doesn't count. Li Yunzheng did not come out, so the Great Elder came.

He held a compass-like instrument in his hand and said to Nan Xi, "This is what happens when a disaster occurs. Take a look."

As the Great Elder finished speaking, the compass in his hand lit up, and a three-dimensional image more than one meter tall appeared in front of him.

What caught my eye was the city before the disaster. Just like many towns, it was full of life, with people doing their own things, some joking and chatting with others, and children playing hide-and-seek.

It was a peaceful scene.

As a result, the next second, the ground shook violently and some people lost their balance and fell down.

Then many people froze and could not move, looking up at the sky with horror on their faces. A faint sound was heard from them, and then the ground shook violently again.

Houses began to collapse and cracks appeared in the ground, swallowing people.

The biggest crack did not move slowly, but suddenly, the entire ground collapsed, and hundreds... even thousands of people on it fell in at the same time.

Even a sword cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage who could wield the Sword of Protection lost the ability to control his sword under the pressure.

The ground shaking gradually subsided after that, and the impact also came to an abrupt end here.

The elder said: "There were several more earthquakes afterwards, but they were all minor ones."

"But judging from the underground energy, this disaster is clearly not over yet. Fortunately, it is limited to this area. Now that you have brought the people out, there will be no more casualties."

Nan Xi nodded, was silent for a moment, and asked, "I heard that there were no signs of this disaster?"

"It's not that there isn't, but it's not very obvious. The city lord said that the air pressure in the city has been making people uncomfortable recently, but he didn't think of this."

Hearing this, Nan Xi looked in one direction. Perhaps it was her intuition that helped her recognize the person at that moment.

He was a rather stout man who looked to be already middle-aged. His face looked pale. When Nan Xi looked over, he had just sighed heavily.

After this happened, he could no longer be the city lord.

Nan Xi's mood wasn't very good at the moment. After understanding the situation clearly, she found a corner to sit down, her brows wrinkled unconsciously.

That wasn't the only thing she was worried about now.

Before she could think about it, there was a faint vibration from the ground again. When Nan Xi looked up, she saw Li Yunzheng standing not far away. She had just teleported over, covered in dust.

This kind of dust can be completely cleaned up by just shaking it off, but it will leave a small area around it looking a little dusty.

Li Yunzheng waved away the dust in front of her and said, "It's nothing special, just a normal natural disaster. I didn't think it would affect other places, so I didn't intervene."

The ability of a person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage is to move mountains and fill the sea, which means that an earthquake within a hundred miles can be solved with some effort. However, the disaster has already occurred, and the loss has already been lost. If you intervene at this time, it will be a loss.

Nan Xi saw that Li Yunzheng didn't pay attention to her, so she listened silently for a few words. She found that what they said was almost the same as what she and the Great Elder had just said, so she stopped listening.

[A natural disaster...]

Nan Xi's inner voice suddenly rang out, causing the conversation between Li Yunzheng and the Great Elder to pause almost unnoticeably.

But the next moment, they continued talking.

Nan Xi's thoughts continued, "I just remembered that we are only a few episodes away from the later part of the story. In the later part of the story, there will be a natural disaster, and it will be a big one, affecting the entire cultivation world."

[I was shocked when you said there were no signs just now. The large-scale natural disasters in the plot also had no signs. 】

It's not that there were no signs. To be more precise, the signs were too subtle and almost unnoticed. By the time people noticed them, it was too late.

[The disasters in the plot are also varied, covering almost all types of natural disasters, and then repeated in different places in the cultivation world. ]

Nan Xi had not had any special feelings about this part of the plot before, because the natural disaster was also only briefly mentioned in the plot, and the focus was on what happened to the hero and heroine during the natural disaster, and what conflicts and twists and turns there were.

Most of what she was thinking about was how to get the climaxes in the later stages right.

But now that I have seen the disaster with my own eyes, and the lives it has swallowed and the irreparable losses it has caused, I have truly realized it.

In reality, the situation is so tragic that it cannot be called a minor disaster at all, but it is just a small point that is not mentioned at all in the article.

Nan Xi found it hard to imagine what the entire cultivation world would become if the situation in the plot really happened.

She narrated the natural disaster part of the plot bit by bit in her inner voice. Fortunately, nothing happened now. Most of the Tianyun Sword Sect members were sitting somewhere quietly like Nan Xi, and spoke very little.

So even though everyone was extremely shocked, it was not easy to notice anything unusual.

After Li Yunzheng finished talking with the Great Elder, he also walked away in silence.

They all looked at the location of the town, with serious expressions on their faces, but nothing unusual could be seen.

[I have to remind my master and uncle that I can't just do nothing when I know all this and watch the disaster happen.]

After thinking about this, Nan Xi fell silent for a moment.

At this point, she didn't even have time to think about what would happen next. She just had the thought of just doing it perfunctorily, but she stopped herself subconsciously to avoid the system noticing.

[So how should we remind everyone? ]

The plot does not mention the cause of the disaster. We only know that there was chaos everywhere and all parties suffered heavy losses. New forces emerged in the chaos, and even the five major sects underwent a small reshuffle.

It was during this disaster that the Yuxu Sect was able to join the ranks of the five major sects.

In the eyes of outsiders, Qi Qian made great contributions during the disaster, which led to him becoming the number one among the younger generation. He even squeezed into a higher level as his cultivation improved, climbing much faster than his peers.

Nan Xi had no way to prevent the disaster from happening, but by letting people like He Jian and Li Yunzheng know about it and taking precautions in advance, she could have saved many lives.

With the strength and prestige of the Tianyun Sword Sect, all major forces can work together to find out the cause and take countermeasures to minimize the losses.

When Nan Xi was thinking, her thoughts came out with her inner voice and were heard by everyone. Li Yunzheng turned his back to the crowd, his solemn expression relaxed a little, and a gleam of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Even the great elder nodded secretly, expressing his admiration.

The rest of the Tianyun Sword Sect disciples began to discuss this matter using various secret communication methods.

Most people were a little panicked when they heard the news of the major natural disaster, but now they are gradually calming down after hearing Nan Xi's words.

Indeed, if we knew in advance, today's tragedy would not happen tomorrow.

An idea flashed through many people's minds almost at the same time.

Fortunately, there is a senior sister.
