In the cave, Xu Yue listened to Bai Xuan's questions and remained silent for a long time.
The one who is fighting against Mutian Sect and Tianmo Ridge in a distant direction is Lan Ruyan, whom he has always regarded as his enemy?
This seems to be the case, because according to the analysis, she is the only one in the secret realm who meets this condition.
"But... isn't Lan Ruyan on good terms with Duan Mutian? She also severely injured me once in Cangyun Mountain. I even suspected that the Lan family was one of the instigators of this incident. How could she be like this? "Xu Yue frowned and muttered slightly to himself.
Hearing this, Bai Xuan and Liu Yun looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
Indeed, in recent years, there have been widespread rumors about the relationship between Duan Mutian and Lan Ruyan. The two are almost recognized as Taoist lovers and are sought after by others.
Moreover, as candidate emperors, they naturally heard about what happened on Cangyun Mountain.
However, during the battle on the top of Emperor Mountain, Lan Ruyan helped Xu Yue several times. How to explain this?
The two of them couldn't figure it out, so they simply stopped talking.
On the side, as Xu Yue thought, his body slowly bloomed with blue light, which was extremely conspicuous in this monotonous cave with only firelight and darkness.
It was Lan Ruyan's spiritual power buried deep in the flesh and blood that was cheering for joy, because they heard Xu Yue calling his name, and they all came out at this time.
"snort."
However, Xu Yue snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, his powerful spiritual power suppressed all the blue light.
Seeing this, Liu Yun and Bai Xuan did not dare to say anything and shut up knowingly.
After a while, the blue light on Xu Yue completely disappeared, and he no longer struggled with Lan Ruyan's problem. After sorting out his chaotic thoughts, he said in a deep voice: "So, now that the situation between us and the enemy is basically clear, we should also confirm it. What’s the next step?”
"Stay here and take the initiative!"
After Xu Yue finished speaking, all the disciples and monsters in the cave stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.
"If you stay here all the time, you only need to wait until the prescribed time for the secret trial is over. If Yidi Mountain does not see a single disciple walking out, you will immediately notice the problem here, and then you can wait for rescue."
Xu Yue's voice was low and he said: "However, doing this is tantamount to sitting back and waiting for death, handing the initiative to the enemy... None of us can guarantee that during this period of time, the enemy will find this cave... and not at all. To put it bluntly, we are very aware of the situation in the outside world. After the trial in the secret realm is over, we still don’t know whether reinforcements or powerful enemies will come.”
All the disciples were shocked, and they all understood what Xu Yue meant.
The other party had gone through so much trouble to prepare this trap, and the ultimate target was definitely not just disciples with low cultivation levels like them!
It is very likely that while they are struggling to survive in this secret realm, several powerful enemies from the outside are also launching a fierce attack on Yidi Mountain!
The atmosphere was solemn. Xu Yue glanced at the ugly-looking Yidi Mountain disciples, and then said: "Secondly, if you don't stay here, we will take the initiative to attack."
"The advantage of this is that it is flexible. While you can search for and rescue fellow disciples who are still fleeing in the secret realm, you can also look for an exit and wait for an opportunity to escape."
"But everyone also understands that in this small secret realm, we have become turtles in a urn. The enemy has been prepared for a long time and is far stronger than us. If we encounter the enemy's main force... we can learn from the past and learn from the future."
Xu Yue paused and did not explain, but many people still turned their heads and looked at Bai Xuan, who had an illusory soul.
Previously, the six to seven hundred disciples in the spirit-splitting realm were just a lesson.
"That's it, you make your choice."
After Xu Yue finished speaking, he stopped talking, walked aside and sat down casually, closing his eyes slightly.
It was quiet all around, and you could hear a needle drop.
The expressions of each disciple changed, as if they were making a choice or struggling.
Because the next decision is related to each of their lives.
If you go, you may encounter strong enemies and it will be extremely difficult, or you may find an exit and escape.
If you don't leave, you may wait for reinforcements, but you may also be surrounded and suppressed here, with no way to escape.
The sound of heavy breathing came and went, which was depressing.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe a few minutes, maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe half an hour.
A voice that was almost shouted through gritted teeth awoke everyone from worrying about gains and losses, and attracted them one after another.
"let's go!"
Chi Yun of the Fire God Sect straightened his back, his fiery red hair seemed to be ignited by something, and there was no wind in this dark cave.
"Let's go out! We can't stay here!" Chi Yun looked seriously, looking at his classmates who were still confused, and shouted again.
"What is the reason for leaving? If we want to leave, how will the team move? Is there a reliable route and a clear destination?" Liu Yun looked a little serious and asked several questions in succession.
"I……"
Chi Yun hesitated. How could he, who always had simple ideas, consider this? Liu Yun immediately stopped him.
One by one, the disciples looked away, thinking that Chi Yun had nothing to say, and continued to lower their heads in silence.
But the next moment, before they could immerse themselves in thinking again, they heard the plausive words of the disciple of the Solid Spirit Realm again.
"I don't know the reason! But I think there may be many fellow sects in danger waiting for us to rescue, and the sect is also waiting for us to go back!!"
Chi Yun's voice was resounding, echoing continuously in this closed cave, stirring in the hearts of every Yidi Mountain disciple.
Xu Yue, who had been silent, slowly opened his eyes, with a smile on his lips.
This is what the younger generation of Yidi Mountain should look like.
"Yes, junior sister is still outside..."
"The enemy is chasing our fellow disciples..."
"No! We can't stay here and wait to die! We need to get out!"
"Yes! We need to get out! The worst-case scenario is death, but for the sake of the enemy of the same family, I will fight!"
"That's right! It's just death. We brothers and sisters are going to hell together, and we don't seem to be that afraid anymore!"
The eyes of the Yidi Mountain disciples finally lit up with blazing fire, no longer as lifeless as before.
"But, if you encounter a powerful enemy..." Liu Yun opened his mouth, but was bravely interrupted by Chi Yun.
"I believe in my uncle!"
With a smile that was more confident than anyone else, Chi Yun looked at Xu Yue, who was a little surprised, and said seriously: "I believe in my uncle, no matter how strong the enemy is, he will take us out!"
After finishing speaking, a group of Yidi Mountain disciples also looked at Xu Yue by the light of the fire, with admiration and reverence, placing their hopes on life and death.
At this moment, Xu Yue also knew what it means for the world to focus on you.
"but……"
Liu Yun was still hesitating until a sigh came from behind him.
"Brother Liu, are you afraid that you will make the same mistake as me?" Bai Xuan's weak voice drifted over, and Liu Yuan turned his head to look, feeling a twitch in his heart.
This fellow disciple who had known him for a long time and fought side by side for many years, at some point, his body was like thin smoke, his body was like a dream, and he was about to completely dissipate.
"Brother Bai, you..."
Liu Yun's eyes moved slightly and his body was trembling.
Everyone around him fell silent for a moment. Looking at this senior brother who was once elegant in white, their hearts were extremely heavy.
"Brother Liu, there is no need to be sad."
Bai Xuan's blurry face seemed to be smiling. He also knew that he had little time, so he asked again: "Are you worried that your fellow disciples will be ruined because of a single thought of yours?"
Liu Yun was speechless, listening to the dying voice, and finally nodded with difficulty.
Bai Xuan is about to lose his soul, and Xu Yue's identity is complicated. He can't ask for anything, and he can't ask for anything.
Only he, the senior brother of everyone and the legitimate candidate for the emperor, can shoulder the responsibility at this time and be responsible for the lives of many of his fellow disciples!
If he makes one wrong move and is doomed, he will always be ashamed of his master, and he will be shameless to see these junior brothers and sisters under Jiuquan.
"But Brother Liu, times have changed and the situation has changed."
Bai Xuan shook his head, and his lower body had begun to disappear. At this time, he looked at a group of Yidi Mountain disciples who were crying in front of him, and said slowly: "At that time, I didn't know who the opponent was, what his strength was, let alone what kind of situation we were in. environment, but now, these questions have answers... and, as this junior brother said."
Bai Xuan glanced at Chi Yun, then moved his soul light with difficulty to look at Xu Yue.
"Master Xu is a variable that is not included in the enemy's calculations... Brother Liu knows his strength. What's more, there may be another variable in the distant Condensed Realm area, waiting for our rescue... And if If we can really escape from the secret realm by chance, and the enemies from the outside have not yet taken action against the sect, we can still...let the sect prepare early...this...is worth our desperate struggle..."
Bai Xuan's voice has become smaller and smaller, and his words that care about the sect made many disciples at the scene burst into tears.
However, they either clenched their teeth or covered their mouths desperately to prevent themselves from making any sound, and listened quietly to Bai Xuan's last words.
"So...go...go to the Yuanxin Realm first...try your best to search for the disciples there...it would be great if you can meet my sister Bai Qing...and then go to the condensed body through the spirit branch...to explore Xiao Lan The truth about immortality..."
Bai Xuan's soul body could no longer maintain a human form and turned into a wisp of smoke.
Immediately afterwards, this wisp of green smoke changed, sometimes it was a sword, sometimes it was light, and finally, it turned into a mountain.
"My...Dishan...the rest...is left to you..."
The slightly tired words fell, the green smoke dissipated, the white clothes turned into snow, and the loyal soul died forever and was buried in a foreign land.
"Congratulations to the Emperor!!"
Finally, each of the Yidi Mountain disciples no longer had to suppress their emotions, and they all knelt down towards the place where Bai Xuan disappeared, shouting at the top of their lungs and bursting into tears.
There was sadness in the cave.
However, just as Xu Yue lowered his head in mourning, no one noticed that a ray of light condensed out of the air and penetrated somewhere in the arms of Bai Xuan's body.
