Li Yuebai woke up from his dream and subconsciously touched the soft bed, but he only felt hard rock.

He shuddered and woke up, only to see darkness all around him.

I couldn't see anything, I could only feel the cold wind brushing against my cheeks.

However, I didn't feel cold at all. I felt soft and warm because I was wrapped in a fur coat.

"System." Li Yuebai asked in a daze, "Where am I?"

"It is early morning now, and you are inside the mountain gate." The system answered clearly without any sleepiness.

"Mountain gate?" Li Yuebai tried hard to regain his consciousness, and then he remembered that he was no longer locked in the dark room behind the Auspicious Hall. Su Xu had already escaped, and there was no need to disguise himself.

"Host, the system really doesn't understand why you come here to suffer? Can't you just have a good sleep in the bedroom?" the system said helplessly.

"I once taught a phrase in class, 'Be prepared for war at any moment.'" Li Yuebai said with a wry smile, "Now, Yu Tianliu may launch an attack at any moment. The timing is unpredictable. I have no choice but to wait here."

A number of immortal tents were set up inside the mountain gate, and the guards hid in the tents waiting for the upcoming battle.

A faint fluorescent light appeared in the distance and flickered.

"It's Yu Tianji." Li Yuebai pointed at the fluorescent spot and said, "This kid is even more diligent than me."

"Oh? Who is saying bad things about me?" Fluorescent light approached from afar, accompanied by Yu Tianji's sweet voice: "Master Jijiu? Which one is you?"

Yu Tianji pretended to grope in the dark and took the opportunity to pinch Li Yuebai's waist several times.

"..." Li Yuebai punched back fiercely.

"What are you doing? You are abusing me again." Yu Tianji came over pitifully and said, "I haven't seen you for such a long time. I miss you so much that I am almost suffocating..."

"...It hasn't been that long, has it?" Li Yuebai recalled his "breakup" with Yu Tianji and felt that it only happened a few days ago.

"You think it's not long enough?" Yu Tianji said aggrievedly, "Do you know how hard it is for me to pretend?"

Li Yuebai carefully recalled Yu Tianji's rage that day, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it didn't seem like he was pretending at all.

"Um...my comrade-in-arms in the previous world, do you really not care about him?" Li Yuebai said with a smile.

"I got so into the role just to fool them." Yu Tianji spread his hands: "No matter what, I have to give myself a reason to be furious..."

"The system thinks you are going too far." The system sighed: "Is it really that serious?"

"Why not?"

"In order to deceive Yu Tianliu, and to give Yu Tianliu the illusion that Kunlun was in chaos and extremely easy to attack, you actually...just let Kunlun go?" The system was shocked and said, "Aren't you afraid that it will really get out of hand? What about tactics? What about training? What about formations? Yu Tianliu is about to attack, how are you going to fight him?"

"Don't worry." Li Yuebai said, "The formation has been practiced well."

When it was dim, Kunlun's guards heard strange noises coming from outside the mountain gate.

It was like the hissing of a snake or the panting of a wild beast, coming from the endless darkness, cold and terrifying.

Has it started?

The guards looked down and saw that the monster had appeared, so they hurriedly and quietly passed on the message and prepared for battle.

In the thick fog, there were black things moving around. This time, there were much more of them than last time, and they were also much more orderly.

Soon, they approached the mountain gate.

The monks hiding behind the mountain gate secretly gripped the hilts of their swords. It was the first time they faced such a strange enemy, and they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

However, the Lord Chief Priest had repeatedly instructed before the battle that there was no need to panic and that they should just follow the formations practiced in daily drills.

Following a few mournful howls, the vast army of monsters broke through the barrier at the southwest mountain gate and entered.

"My lord, why don't we follow what Master Su said and attack the southeast mountain gate first?" Ge Huai asked hesitantly.

"Make a feint to the east and attack the west, sneak through Chencang." Su Xu said: "Since we already know that Kunlun has limited troops, we will pretend to attack the southwest first. By the time Kunlun has transferred all its troops to the southwest, our other team will have arrived in the southeast, and our chances of winning will be greater."

Yu Tianliu was wearing a long black robe and was hidden under the protection of dozens of monks, making it difficult to see his location.

"Looking at the current situation, even if there are people guarding the southwest mountain gate, they may not be able to stop the monsters." Ge Huai looked from afar and said, "It is true that Kunlun has fought with the Demon Cult, but this monster is completely different from the Demon Cult members. If you want to deal with the monster, you have to use a different formation..."

As if in response to his guess, the monsters that attacked the southwest mountain gate were suddenly blocked by countless gleaming swords.

Silently, the monster was chopped into pieces by the long sword.

At this time, Li Yuebai had also rushed to the southwest mountain gate. He wrapped his fur tightly, climbed to the top of the wall, and looked down.

"What kind of strange formation is this? Did you teach it?" The system saw that the movements of the Kunlun monks were chaotic but not sharp, and as soft as a cluster of flowers catching a butterfly. Such a fancy and soft formation was very effective in dealing with these miscellaneous small monsters.

"It's the butterfly-catching formation." Li Yuebai told the system while paying attention to the battle: "After I saw the monster, I began to order everyone in Kunlun to practice this formation..."

"Didn't you say it was for recuperation?" the system said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, I've told a lot of lies recently." Li Yuebai admitted.
