Chapter 93

After finishing the plot, the time passed especially quickly after returning to the clan.

The contact with Qi Qian can be said to be the last plot point before the climax, which means that Nan Xi has quite a long period of free time.

As for the preparation and development of natural disasters, not only were they smooth, but they were also so fast that Nan Xi could hardly react.

Before she realized it, the elders accepted the setting of natural disasters, and before she had time to react, they asked her about her views on natural disasters.

After getting the information from Nan Xi, he began to make preparations without stopping.

A few months passed very quickly, no matter for monks or ordinary people, it was almost like the blink of an eye.

Nan Xi watched as the atmosphere in the cultivation world changed from peaceful to tense. This tension spread from top to bottom, starting from the Tianyun Sword Sect, spreading to the various immortal sects and families, and then to the many independent cultivators.

But the spread was also extremely rapid.

As small natural disasters occur more and more frequently in various places, people are beginning to feel a bit of real tension as they prepare like a bunch of idiots.

Of course, even if the frequent occurrence of small natural disasters can make people realize that something is wrong, if no one points it out, even a high-level monk with great magical powers will find it difficult to think of the key point in a short time.

Nan Xi was not clear about the specific situation in the plot, but the reality was that even with all the work done by Nan Xi, the cultivators who practiced Tianjishu in various places, even the most powerful ones, did not feel the unusual fluctuations until there was only a month left before the natural disaster.

Of course, there were also people who could see early on that there would be a period of darkness and confusion in the fortunes of the cultivation world.

But because the results are positive, it is difficult to know what is going on in such vague observations.

During this period of time, Nan Xi not only did things within her ability, but also made good use of her time to cultivate herself.

She didn't know when it started, but the system stopped paying so much attention to her cultivation. After a period of testing, Nan Xi began to practice with peace of mind.

She had been suppressed for too long before, and since she was not mentally bottlenecked for the time being, she had made rapid progress during this period of time.

Until this day.

Nan Xi had just finished a period of practice and was about to walk out of the courtyard to relax. It should have been a sunny noon, but instead it was covered with dark clouds and as dark as night.

She paused where she was and squinted at the sky.

She could feel the heavy pressure and terrifying aura.

Even if it fell from the sky to the human world, it was still oppressive and suffocating. A long, narrow beam of light suddenly flashed, covering the surroundings with a pale, cold color in an instant, and then disappeared.

The thunder came later and was deafening.

Nan Xi even felt a faint vibration coming from the ground, like a resonance between heaven and earth.

Where the first huge thunderbolt fell, a raging fire broke out in an instant.

At the same time, a drop of rain fell on Nan Xi's face.

Nan Xi raised her hand and quickly caught another bean-sized drop of water.

Before long, dense rain began to fall, quickly wetting the ground and forming streams of water.

At this moment, Nan Xi had only one thought in her mind.

Natural disaster is coming.

…

The strange phenomenon was not limited to the Tianyun Sword Sect. Perhaps it happened at the same time, or perhaps it happened a little later in time. In any case, within less than a day, the entire cultivation world was covered by abnormal celestial phenomena.

There was heavy rain and thunder in the Tianyun Sword Sect, or perhaps not far away, there was sunshine that was so bright that it made people feel uncomfortable and terrifying.

Nan Xi was not the only one who felt different. At this moment, most people were feeling extremely heavy.

Nan Xi stood there for a while.

The raindrops did not wet her clothes. With her level of cultivation, it was not difficult to build a spiritual barrier around her body. Therefore, after standing for a while, her body was still dry.

But Nan Xi could feel that a chill different from any previous time was slowly infecting her body.

After using his spiritual power to drive away the cold, Nan Xi looked at the sky again before walking towards He Jian's cave.

In a moment, He Jian's notice was sent to her identity jade card. He asked people to gather at the martial arts arena because he had something to say.

Everyone had known about the natural disaster several months ago, so no one was surprised by what He Jian and the others had to say at this time.

On the way, Nan Xi met a group of people who were heading to the martial arts arena at the same time. They greeted her, and their expressions were not relaxed, but not particularly heavy either.

Natural disasters will destroy many things. Even a large sect like the Tianyun Sword Sect will inevitably be affected. However, in places with sufficient resources and strength, such impact is limited.

The Tianyun Sword Sect occupies the most advantageous geographical conditions. Even if it rains for one year or ten years, unless the entire continent is flooded, the Tianyun Sword Sect will be able to stand here in the end.

However, the Tianyun Sword Sect had a formation, and when the thunder struck them on the head, it was wiped out by the sect's protective formation before it even hit them.

Wildfires and floods cannot destroy the foundation of the Tianyun Sword Sect.

This is also the reason why many disciples do not look heavy on their faces.

Even if it was a disaster that affected the entire cultivation world, even if some spirit stones or resources had to be paid in order to maintain the operation of the Tianyun Sword Sect, at the end of the day, there would be no worries about life, and even food and clothing.

But at the same time, I can't relax.

Even now, it is difficult for everyone to imagine what will happen in the future, but everyone has some feelings about it.

In the future, many people will feel unhappy, miserable, and struggling.

Nan Xi said hello to the people and said nothing. She looked forward and then back, but did not see Luo Tingyun, so she felt puzzled.

[Where is Junior Sister at this time? ]

When they arrived at the martial arts arena, Nan Xi saw Luo Tingyun who had been standing next to He Jian. She walked forward, stood not far from Luo Tingyun, and turned around to look at the many disciples below.

She is already in the late Jindan stage. Once she enters the Yuanying stage, she will no longer be a simple disciple. A direct disciple will handle the affairs of the Tianyun Sword Sect from then on.

Even though they have not yet reached the Yuan Infant stage, their position is different from that of ordinary inner disciples.

After He Jian and others arrived, he slowly spoke.

"At this point, there must be few people who have not heard of natural disasters."

"The reason why I asked you all to come here today is not because of your safety." He Jian's voice was deep and majestic, and it fell into everyone's ears. "As long as the Tianyun Sword Sect is still established, it can protect your safety."

"You all should know that unless this is a devastating disaster, it will not be a threat to the Tianyun Sword Sect."

"So there is only one thing I want to say, that is, I hope everyone will respect the status of Tianyun Sword Sect disciples, do not bully the weak in times of disaster, do not be complacent and arrogant, and do not look down on anyone who is not as well off as you are. Can you do this?"

Originally, only He Jian's voice was heard, but after He Jian finished speaking, all the disciples answered in unison.

"able!"

The sound was not blocked by the sound of rain and echoed throughout the mountains.

Nan Xi's voice was very loud. She looked at what was in front of her and listened to He Jian's words with all her heart. She didn't have any other thoughts for a moment.

This is the case with the Tianyun Sword Sect. The sect's teachings require people to help the weak, but when they make demands on people, they never make them directly. They just ask people not to be complacent and not bully the weak.

But this does not mean that the Tianyun Sword Sect will sit idly by and watch the future situation in the cultivation world.

Instead, when the time comes, people are allowed to sign up voluntarily.

Of course, in such an atmosphere, the awareness of the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect is not much lower.

Nan Xi likes the atmosphere here very much.

Afterwards, He Jian talked to all the disciples about the current situation. It was nothing more than strange phenomena occurring in various places, but because of advance preparations, the situation could still be dealt with.

However, if natural disasters continue, this situation will be difficult to maintain.

If something goes wrong, their contribution may be needed.

But with the sword around, at least it can be guaranteed that mistakes won't happen in the Tianyun Sword Sect.

They talked for about a quarter of an hour. The world of cultivation does not place much emphasis on formalism, so after they had said everything that needed to be said, they let everyone go. Nan Xi waited for a while, but He Jian did not ask her or any of his disciples to go for a private discussion.

So he looked at Luo Tingyun.

Luo Tingyun noticed her gaze, so he walked up to her and glanced at her.

"Senior sister."

"Um."

On the way back, the two didn't say anything, they just walked back together tacitly. It was rare that Nan Xi's mind was empty and she didn't have any ideas.

It was not until she was almost back to Luo Tingyun's courtyard that she looked into the distance and sighed slightly.

“What will happen in the future?”

In her mind, she actually knew very well what was going to happen next. The plot was already written. Her story, the direction of her life, at this point, she had even accepted it.

But perhaps the situation during natural disasters will be better because of her butterfly wings, that's all.

But even though she knew it clearly, Nan Xi still couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Luo Tingyun didn't know what she was thinking. He just thought for a moment and said, "Maybe, it's a tiring and possibly dangerous journey, but it will make people feel that it's worth the trip."

Nan Xi glanced at him, then smiled for some reason and nodded, "That makes sense."

Afterwards, the two of them parted ways and returned to their own yards.

At the beginning of the natural disaster, life seemed no different from the past. In the plot, people were in a panic, but the purgatory on earth did not appear. In the Tianyun Sword Sect, nothing seemed to have changed except the gray sky, the irritating sound of rain and thunder.

However, Nan Xi felt her chest growing heavier day by day.

Until one day I received a notification.

"The water has already overflowed the embankment of Qingxi City. I'm afraid it can no longer hold on."

Nan Xi was eating her own food when she heard the news. She swallowed the food in her mouth in a few gulps and stared at Luo Tingyun, whose expression could even be described as calm.

He fixed his eyes on the communication jade talisman, then raised his eyes to look at Nan Xi, "According to the news from my family, the news from Master will probably come soon. What are you going to do, Senior Sister?"

Nan Xi took a moment to calm down and said, "I'll go."

This is the first plot node after the natural disaster, but because of Nan Xi's interference, Qingxi City actually lasted half a month longer.

Qingxi City is located in a low position, with many water flows, and is next to a large lake that can flood the entire city.

It has been raining continuously these days, so the dam bursting was expected.

And because they held out for an extra half month, most of the people in the city had already evacuated.

Another group of people have nowhere to go if they leave Qingxi City, and may even starve to death. They can only stay there, hoping that the dam will not burst.

Luo Tingyun nodded, "I'll go too."
