Chapter 49: Bei Liyuan decided to pursue his master Yunyuan...
Inside Yunyuan Hall, Zhu Yu counted his gains and said excitedly, "Elder Li, none of the 100,000 demon soldiers survived this battle. We obtained 30,000 demon cores, including 30 demon cores above the Golden Immortal level."
Li Youyang nodded. "Each person will receive five magic cores, and the remaining will be divided equally among the major sects. They will be refined within two days."
Late at night, Li Youyang was still studying the map when Bei Liyuan walked in, carrying a bowl of freshly cooked sweet soup. "Master, there are no suitable ingredients in the secret realm. I only found some spiritual herbs and sweet fruits. Please try them."
Li Youyang didn't look up: "Leave it there, I'll drink it later."
Bei Liyuan put the soup down and walked over to Li Youyang. "Master, are you worried about whether to launch a counterattack in two days or continue to occupy the temple?"
Li Youyang pointed to the five palaces on the map and said, "If we can successfully occupy them, it will be equivalent to owning half of the secret realm. We can take them down by force, but it will be difficult to defend them."
Bei Liyuan curled his lips and smiled: "Master, it is not necessary to occupy this palace."
"Um?"
"Master, think about it. Are we anxious to capture the temple, or are they anxious to surround and kill us?"
"Of course the other party is anxious."
"Since they're anxious, why don't we wait for them to tire themselves out? I have an idea. We can use this place as a base and set up a teleportation array within a thousand miles. Once the demons enter the array's range, we can use the ice, fire, thunder, and wind elemental array talismans to kill them on a large scale. The talismans only take a few breaths to cast, and once they take effect, we can use the teleportation array to return. We won't have to worry about being harmed by the demons."
Li Youyang sighed silently. The victory in the battle had made him somewhat lost. Their primary goal was to weaken the demons and find an opportunity to safely leave the secret realm. "Let's do as you say."
Bei Liyuan smiled and said softly, "Then can Master have something to eat?"
Then he brought the sweet soup over and said, "Master, try it."
Li Youyang took a sip and his eyes lit up: "In this situation, you can still make it so delicious!"
Bei Liyuan curled his lips: "As long as Master likes it."
In the next half month, the disciples of the Immortal Sect did everything according to what Bei Liyuan said. In the past half month, the demon clan lost nearly 400,000 demon soldiers, but the teleportation array set up by the Immortal Sect was very clever, and the demon clan couldn't even get close to the disciples of the Immortal Sect. At the same time, many disciples of the Immortal Sect came here to join them. In addition, with the improvement of the magic cores during this period, the disciples of the Immortal Sect in the secret realm are no longer the same as before.
That morning, Li Youyang had just gotten up when he heard a commotion outside the door. After opening the door, several disciples looked panicked. "Elder Li, the demons are besieging us. Their numbers are massive, roughly estimated to be a million. They've been relentlessly attacking the Myriad Demon Subduing Formation for an hour. Fellow Daoist Bei and the others have already gone."
Li Youyang frowned: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
The disciple lowered his eyes and said, "Elder Li is different from us. When the demons arrived, you had only been asleep for less than two hours..."
…
An hour later, cracks appeared on the formation.
Gong Bo's eyes darkened. "At this rate, the formation will collapse sooner or later. Fellow Daoist Bei, why don't we go out and clear out a wave of demon soldiers?"
Bei Liyuan looked into the distance and said, "It's useless. There's no end in sight. Even if we go out and kill 100,000 people by ourselves, it won't make any difference."
"Li Yuan."
Bei Liyuan frowned. His master had gone to bed late last night, and he had specifically instructed not to disturb him.
Thinking about it, he walked to Li Youyang's side and said, "Master."
Li Youyang took out the Xuanzi chess piece: "Ancient killing formation."
Bei Liyuan's eyes lit up. Xuan Ziqi was so confusing that it was difficult for the demon soldiers to escape within a short period of time after entering. It was like a short-term cage. Although the power of the ancient killing formation was not strong, it could kill the earth immortals in an instant. More than 60% of the demon soldiers who came to charge the formation were earth immortals. This could at least relieve half of the pressure. Perhaps the soul-summoning flag could be used and the soul-breaking formation could be added. Then, 80% of the demon soldiers who came today could be killed.
After thinking about it, he flashed into the void, and with his sword pointing quickly, he sent out the Xuan Zi chess piece. The whole world immediately turned into ink color.
Bei Liyuan moved his sword again, and a blood-red flag was hung in the center of the ink painting. Bei Liyuan chanted, and the blood-red flag emitted a red light. Then countless wronged souls poured into the ink painting from all directions.
Bei Liyuan curled his lips and said coldly: "Start the formation."
With one roar, countless demon soldiers turned into ashes before they could even scream. In just three breaths, more than 100,000 demon soldiers were killed or wounded.
The demon leader was furious and tried to stop Bei Liyuan, but he was a step too slow and could only resolve the killing formation first. However, the magic blade not only did not damage Xuan Ziqi but absorbed the demon leader's attack, making the power in the formation even stronger.
Bei Liyuan curled his lips. He had long expected that the leader would break the formation by force, so he set up a formation of his own creation around Xuan Ziqi to attack the cow from behind the mountain.
"General, if this continues, I'm afraid our tens of millions of years of hard work will be destroyed in an instant."
The demon leader had a gloomy face: "Do I need your reminder?"
Seeing the demon soldiers turning into nothingness wave after wave but being powerless to do anything, the demon leader snorted coldly and flew up, his sword moving quickly, and the evil spirit enveloped all the demon soldiers. The next moment, the demon soldiers instantly exploded and turned into demonic energy, which was absorbed by the demon leader.
Li Youyang's eyes darkened. This guy wanted to forcibly ascend to a higher realm, break through the restrictions of the secret realm, and cause the secret realm to collapse.
Gong Bo said solemnly, "If the secret realm collapses, we will all be reduced to ashes. We must not let him succeed."
Just as he was about to take action, he saw Li Youyang flash out of the formation: "Nangong Liuchu, Beiliyuan, Gong Bo, quickly lead the others to the exit."
Nangong Liuchu said anxiously: "Master..."
Li Youyang had already turned his head to look at the demon leader, his sword finger moved quickly, a white halo gradually extended from under his feet, and the evil spirit was instantly blocked.
Nangong Liuchu clenched his fists, and Gong Bo said in a deep voice: "Nangong Liuchu, we cannot waste the time that Elder Li has worked so hard for. Guanhe Sword Sect disciples, listen to my orders and leave with me."
Nangong Liuchu clenched his fist and said, "Disciples of the Yunshan Sect, follow my orders and leave."
"Disciples of Hunyuan Sect, listen to my orders..."
"Disciples of Xuantian Sect, listen to my orders..."
After five breaths, all the disciples of the immortal sect had left, and only Bei Liyuan was still standing there.
The demon leader noticed the change and sneered: "You, a useless person who hasn't even established his foundation, think you can stop me!"
The moment he finished speaking, the sword finger moved again, and the white halo gradually shattered. Li Youyang's eyes darkened slightly, and the sword finger moved quickly, as if he was going to sacrifice the soul with blood again.
Bei Liyuan was shocked, and then he set up a formation to block Li Youyang's movements, and the next moment he held him in his arms.
Li Youyang frowned and was about to speak when Bei Liyuan's sword finger moved quickly. The white halo once again blocked the evil spirit. At the same time, he cast another spell and Li Youyang lost consciousness.
Bei Liyuan held Li Youyang in his arms with utmost care. Now he could probably guess what had happened a hundred years ago. He had always thought that Li Youyang had become so cold because of the events that had happened a hundred years ago, but now he realized that this was not the case.
Master would die for everyone without hesitation, but he was unwilling to live for any single person. Whether it was a hundred years ago or today, the situation was far from serious enough to require the sacrifice of blood and souls, yet Master had no desire to live.
When others are in trouble, protecting their lives is the first priority, and if the master can solve the problem with death, he will not bother to think of other methods.
Bei Liyuan smiled bitterly. He once thought that he was somewhat special in his master's heart, but now he realized that to his master, he was no different from the rest of the world. He was so unwilling to accept this.
Now he could somewhat understand what Nan Liujing did back then. Nan Liujing subconsciously wanted to leave different traces in his master's life, but he didn't understand his own thoughts at that time and used the wrong method.
Bei Liyuan sighed and raised his hand to gently stroke Li Youyang's black hair: "Master, what should I do? I also want to be that special existence in your life, and I also want to make a bold and colorful stroke in your life."
As she said this, she lowered her head and gently kissed Li Youyang on the forehead. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have wanted to take you as mine when I didn't know how to take care of such a good person like you, but I really can't bear it anymore. I'm afraid that if it's any later, you will leave completely.
…
Three days later, when Li Youyang woke up again, he was already in the bedroom of Yunshan Sect.
Bei Liyuan sat down beside the bed, holding the medicinal food. "It's about the same time as Senior Medicine Saint estimated."
Li Youyang rubbed his eyebrows. Bei Liyuan put down the medicinal food, carefully helped him up and held him in his arms. He picked up the medicinal food again, blew on it gently and fed it to Li Youyang.
Li Youyang raised his hand: "I can do it myself...hmm"
The medicinal food has been delivered to the mouth.
"Master has just woken up and is a little weak. Let me feed you." Bei Liyuan's tone was gentle, but with a sense of urgency that could not be refuted.
Li Youyang really didn't have much strength, and couldn't refuse, so he simply leaned on Bei Liyuan to make himself more comfortable.
Bei Liyuan thought that Li Youyang would continue to refuse and had already prepared his words, but he didn't expect that he would lean on him so naturally. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Youyang with soft eyebrows and a hint of pampering at the corner of his lips.
Li Youyang didn't notice Bei Liyuan's change. After drinking the medicinal food, he felt a little sleepy again: "You go and do your thing. I want to sleep a little longer."
Bei Liyuan replied softly, "Okay."
Then he gently put Li Youyang down, covered him with a quilt, and left with the bowl.
Not long after, he turned back to guard Li Youyang.
"Why do I feel that after this secret realm experience, Junior Brother has become particularly attached to Master?"
Lie Wushuang was silent.
"Big Brother, why don't you say anything? Don't you think that the journey to the secret realm is very dangerous, but..."
Lie Wushuang lowered his eyes and asked the question in his heart: "Master is the Youyang Divine Lord, right?"
Nangong Liuchu was silent.
Lie Wushuang smiled: "I understand."
Nangong Liuchu was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he saw Lie Wushuang smile since they met. "Big Brother...you smiled?"
Lie Wushuang said softly, "No wonder I felt he was familiar. So that's how it is. It turns out it really is him."
Nangong Liuchu hurriedly said, "Big Brother, I know you admire Master, but Master doesn't want others to know his identity, so you must pretend not to know."
Lie Wushuang smiled and said, "Yeah."
Nangong Liuchu was stunned again. This smile was too bright, almost dazzling. Moreover, the eldest brother usually had a cold face and didn't pay much attention, but now with this smile, he actually looked like a handsome young man. "Elder brother... are you okay?"
