Li Yuebai was sure that the second young master would not dare to do anything excessive, so he allowed himself to fall asleep.

He was so overworked that when he closed his eyes he fell into darkness and unconsciousness.

When I woke up, the sky was already turning pale, but the Auspicious Hall was still dark with only a few lights on dimly.

When I sat up, I found that the second young master was still reading at his desk under the dim light. It seemed that he had not slept all night.

"Please forgive me for my negligence." Li Yuebai rubbed his still sore temples helplessly and said.

No matter how dissolute this Second Young Master was before, he is now his superior. What happened last night was really a bit inappropriate - the Second Young Master actually touched him and tried to soothe him to sleep. No matter how he thought about it, it felt wrong.

"Why should we be so distant from each other?" Yu Tianji saw that he woke up, raised his head from the case and smiled.

As expected, he is a young man. After a sleepless night, only the dark circles under his eyes became darker, but his expression is still the same as usual.

"The Immortal Lord and I have never met each other before, so how could there be any talk between you and me?" Li Yuebai smiled bitterly.

"Master Jijiu, that's not what I said." Yu Tianji picked up a pen and said, "Now that I have just ascended to the position of Immortal Lord, who in Kunlun is willing to obey me? You are the only one who truly cares for my own good and for the good of the entire Kunlun Mountain. If I don't rely on Master Jijiu, who else can I rely on? That's why I say, Master Jijiu, you don't have to be polite to me, you don't have to treat me as an Immortal Lord, just treat me as your disciple."

He was used to it, and he used sweet words every day to coax those beautiful women and boys to surround him. But this time, he said it with sincerity and without any intention of coaxing people.

Then again, the highest level of way to coax people is this, when you speak from the heart, who wouldn’t be moved when listening?

"..." Li Yuebai calmed down and answered in a formulaic way: "I will do my best for Kunlun."

Forget it. No matter what the Immortal Lord says, I just have to do my job step by step and complete the tasks given by the system.

"Hello, host. Your second mission [Make Yu Tianji the Immortal Lord] has been successfully completed." The system popped up: "Next, please complete mission three: [Defeat the Demon Cult]"

Li Yuebai stood up, unfolded a map, and continued to plan his tactics.

On the map, the topography of Kunlun Mountain is clearly depicted.

In the real world, ancient cities are built with high walls made of bricks to resist foreign invasions. But this is a world of immortal cultivation, and walls cannot stop cultivators who can cast spells. Therefore, Kunlun Mountain is not surrounded by walls, but by a layer of barriers.

The barrier is condensed by Taoism, like a cover that does not allow anyone to enter or exit. The barrier can be broken or repaired, but the process of breaking and repairing is very slow and requires the joint efforts of hundreds or thousands of monks to complete. In fact, it can also be compared to the city walls in the real world. The enemy will break the wall bit by bit and dig a hole in the wall, and the defenders can of course repair the hole bit by bit with bricks and mud.

However, Kunlun Mountain must also be connected to the outside world. The cultivators of Kunlun Mountain need to go out, and other sects from outside also need to come in. Therefore, the barrier cannot be a single iron plate, and there must be a doorway on it.

The gates on the barrier are called mountain gates. There are eight of them, evenly distributed around the foot of Kunlun Mountain. The mountain gates are very wide and can accommodate dozens of people at the same time, which is equivalent to the city gates in the real world.

Since being surrounded by the demon army, every mountain gate has been temporarily sealed by Kunlun monks with magic, which is equivalent to adding a "door", but after all, it is not as strong as the "city wall". Therefore, the mountain gate is still the weakest point of Kunlun Fairy Mountain.

If the demon cult army wanted to invade, they would definitely attack the eight mountain gates with all their might.

Naturally, the mountain gate is Kunlun’s key defense location, and each mountain gate is guarded by hundreds of monks with superb Taoist skills.

Li Yuebai closed his eyes and retrieved all the data in the original owner's brain.

The reason why he was so tired was because there was too much information in the original owner's mind.

Not only does he know the terrain of Kunlun Mountain like the back of his hand, he is also familiar with various fighting methods, formations and strategies. He also has a certain understanding of the offensive methods of the Demon Cult, and even knows the strengths and weaknesses of the disciples of each peak in swordsmanship and Taoism.

Not to mention the countless practical experiences...

The more powerful the original owner was, the more uneasy Li Yuebai became. He was afraid that he would ruin a good hand, and he dared not make even the slightest mistake.

He visited all the monks in each peak and academy of Kunlun as quickly as possible, talked in detail with the masters of each peak, immortal elders, pavilion masters, etc., and then assigned the guard mission according to the actual situation.

Fortunately, with a powerful enemy in front of them, those who were originally not very united had to unite. In addition, Li Yuebai's orders were strict and the teams were divided in an orderly manner. For a while, everyone in Kunlun entered a state of preparation for war.

"Master!" Xiao Ai ran in excitedly: "What about me? Which team did you assign me to?"

There were beads of sweat on her forehead and she was holding a sword in her hand. It was obvious that she had just returned from sword practice in the back mountain.

"Nonsense." Li Yuebai buried his head in writing a letter without looking up.

Fighting against the evil cult is no joke, and children like Xiao Ai need to be protected behind.

"...Disciple is serious!" Xiao Ai's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this, and he spoke seriously: "If the Demon Cult really invades Kunlun, disciple will definitely not survive, so it is better to fight to the death! If I just watch the immortals and brothers fighting on the front line and do nothing, it will be so embarrassing!"

"For cultivators who lack ability, the best help is not to cause trouble." Li Yuebai said.

He did not think it was shameful for the elderly, the weak, women and children who were protected. After all, the front line also needed material support from the rear, and everyone had their own place.

"Who said I'm not capable enough? My swordsmanship is very powerful! Where else can I put it if not on the front line?" Xiao Ai refused to accept it. He drew out his sword and swung it around several times, looking very skilled.

Although she still looks like a little girl, this is related to her cultivation and her lively and innocent personality. She is actually an adult. Her swordsmanship and Taoism are indeed passable, but she has never experienced any major storms, so Li Yuebai dare not include her in the front-line defense team.

"Disciple has already thought about it. Master Wan Feng's team is very suitable for disciple." Xiao Ai said frankly.

Wan Guangliu, the master of Qinglong Peak, and his disciples were entrusted with important tasks by Li Yuebai and sent to guard the two mountain gates in the south. They are the backbone of Kunlun.

It would be a good idea to add Xiao Ai to the Qinglong Peak team, as her swordsmanship would be best matched there.

Li Yuebai hesitated for a moment, and then a sharp system prompt sounded in his mind.

"Alert, alert, host, please be cautious, host, please be cautious!" The system's voice rose octaves.

"System, what's wrong?" Li Yuebai had never seen the system like this before. He frowned and became nervous.

"Please do not assign Xiao Ai to Wan Guangliu's team." The system warned.

"Why?"

"Because the original owner did so." The system replied.

Up to now, the system has not revealed the original owner's full experience. Therefore, apart from fighting the Demon Cult with all his strength, Li Yuebai knows nothing else. Of course, he also does not know that the original owner once sent Xiao Ai to follow Wan Guangliu.

"Wan Guangliu's command is not bad. Fighting with him is a good choice." Li Yuebai said.

"But casualties are inevitable in battle." The system replied: "In the original plot, Xiao Ai died in Master Wanfeng's team."

"Could it be that Wan Guangliu made a mistake in command?" Li Yuebai felt nervous.

"No." The system played a video.

It was a re-enactment of the original plot - the battlefield was a sea of ​​blood and swords, Xiao Ai's hair was disheveled, her body was covered with wounds and dust, her originally cute and innocent face was now expressionless, a dozen cult members surrounded her, she swung the sword in her hand, then took out a talisman, and submerged herself and the cult members in a sea of ​​fire.

When Xiao Ai said she would go into battle and kill the enemy, she was definitely not just talking, she would really do it.

"Her sacrifice has nothing to do with Wan Guangliu." The system said, "But Wan Guangliu doesn't think so."

"Does he feel guilty?" Li Yuebai's heart sank.

"More of a worry." said the system.

"Worried?" Li Yuebai thought about it for a moment and understood.

Xiao Ai was one of Mu Qingning's most beloved disciples. She died in Wan Guangliu's team. Wan Guangliu would inevitably be frightened and afraid that Mu Qingning would bear a grudge and retaliate against him.

In this way, even if Mu Qingning did nothing wrong, an irreparable rift would arise between him and Wan Guangliu.

The system's reminder is correct, and this future must be changed.

After thinking it over again and again, Li Yuebai wrote a new transfer order on the paper.

"Xiao Ai, you and Shaoying sneak out of the mountain and find Yu Tianliu, and ask him to return to Kunlun for support." Li Yuebai ordered.

"Hey? But I want to go into battle and kill the enemy!" Xiao Ai said.

"Asking for help is more important than going into battle to kill the enemy." Li Yuebai said in a deep voice, "Do not disobey orders."

Yu Tianliu is out with several thousand elites. If he can be asked to come back for support, the Demon Cult will surely suffer a heavy blow if they attack from both sides. Xiao Ai is good at swordsmanship and martial arts, while Jiang Shaoying is best at hiding. It is most appropriate to send these two disciples out for help.

"Alert, alert, host, this is not a good decision." The system said truthfully: "I must remind you that this assistance is not available."

"oh?"

"You probably have some memory of Yu Tianliu's character in your memory bank," the system said.

"Part of it." Li Yuebai called up his memories.

Yu Tianliu is the eldest son of the Immortal Lord and the half-brother of Yu Tianji. He is smart and capable, and excellent in all aspects. However, he does not have the chivalrous spirit of a cultivator. Instead, he is more like an emperor in the ordinary world who attaches great importance to power and interests.

"System, do you mean that Yu Tianliu will not come back to reinforce for the sake of his own interests?"

"Yes." The system replied: "In the original plot, he received Mu Qingning's request for help, but ignored it - no, it was even more serious than ignoring it."

"What?" Li Yuebai became more and more curious.

"Yu Tianliu killed the people who came to ask for help!" said the system.

Li Yuebai's heart sank: "Killed?"

"Yes." The system replied: "Yu Tianliu is indeed too dangerous. He is unwilling to return to face the Demon Cult army and even killed the messenger sent by Mu Qingning for help!"

"..." This information was so shocking that Li Yuebai couldn't help but sit down at the desk, rubbing his forehead and thinking carefully.

"Therefore, it is meaningless for you to send two disciples to ask for help. They will only be killed by Yu Tianliu!" said the system.

Li Yuebai thought about it again and again, and finally made a decision.

"System." He whispered, "I still have to send Xiao Ai and Shao Ying to find Yu Tian Liu."

"But……"

"Not to ask for help, but to monitor him secretly."

"Host, this decision makes sense, but it is still too dangerous."

"So, I hope you can provide more information about Yu Tianliu so that the two of them can avoid danger as much as possible." Li Yuebai said.

"Of course, the system will try its best to meet your requirements," the system promised.

"Then it's decided. If the two of them cannot complete the task, they will no longer be considered Mu Qingning's disciples." Li Yuebai sighed.

He has great confidence in Xiao Ai and Shao Ying, believing that they can protect themselves and complete the mission.
