"Little brother," Linglong said immediately, "do you still remember that when you were eight years old, you desperately protected a little girl?"
"I don't remember!"
Yun Fan shook his head. After all, it had been over a decade, and he had experienced so much every year.
How could he remember so much?
As soon as she heard this, Linglong almost choked with anger. How could he forget such an important matter?
Therefore, she said to Yun Fan, "It seems you don't care about me at all!"
"Uh..."
Yun Fan was speechless. His second senior sister was being a bit unreasonable!
Linglong continued, "Back then, I was also a little girl. I wanted to come to Nanshan Village to see you, but before I reached the village, I was molested by some hooligans in the market. Just as they were about to take me away, you appeared!"
Linglong would never forget how Yun Fan protected her with all his might that day, fighting five or six hooligans for her.
She didn't know how many times Yun Fan was beaten, but she was sure that he was covered in injuries. Of course, the hooligans were also beaten black and blue by Yun Fan.
Seeing that they couldn't defeat Yun Fan in a fight, they fled in a hurry. Little did they expect that over a decade had passed in the blink of an eye.
From then on, she fell deeply in love with Yun Fan, and his image was etched in her mind.
After all, in a person's life, not many people would risk their lives for you, especially when they were complete strangers at the time.
The young Yun Fan's only motto then was to uphold justice. From that day on, those hooligans behaved themselves.
They never dared to commit evil deeds again.
Of course, this was all in the past. Later, she met their master and saw her little junior brother from afar. Just as she was about to reveal herself to him, their master stopped her.
Their master told her not to reveal herself to her little junior brother, who was the successor of the Ghost Valley Sect and could not be disturbed by anyone.
Therefore, she missed him, and it turned out to be over a decade.
Seeing her little junior brother again, she felt he had become even more handsome.
"Now that you mention it, I do recall!"
Yun Fan pretended to recall the event, which made Linglong beam with joy. In reality, he remembered nothing!
"I never expected that my second senior sister and I knew each other so early!"
Yun Fan said excitedly.
"Mhm, mhm!"
Linglong said, "Little brother, by taking my sword, you've proven that you like me!"
"When do you plan to marry me?"
Yun Fan was speechless at this question. After all, he was innocent in that situation.
He had only fallen into his second senior sister's trap. However, he had to admit, his second senior sister was definitely a top-tier beauty.
Even if he married his second senior sister, he wouldn't lose out! But he dared not. Because if he married his second senior sister, he would probably be beaten up by the other women.
Of course, it wasn't impossible to marry his second senior sister. In fact, he already had a perfect plan. After the crisis in the Fengchan Land was resolved, he planned to marry all the women in one go.
This was Yun Fan's plan.
Therefore, Yun Fan told Linglong about his situation. Of course, he was a smart person, and he told his second senior sister the truth while also explaining his helplessness.
He thought that given his second senior sister's temperament, she would surely lose her temper. But to his surprise, his second senior sister didn't get angry and expressed understanding.
She said to Yun Fan, "Little brother, they have deep affection for you, and I won't have any objections when you marry them. But you are not allowed to touch that woman again!"
"Who?"
Linglong gritted her teeth and said, "Wang You!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, second senior sister. I was also forced into it by her, and besides that, I have nothing else with her. Moreover, the reason she did this wasn't because she liked me, but to get revenge on you!"
"Hmph!"
Linglong snorted coldly, "I can only say that her plan failed!"
Linglong had been bothered by it before, but when she heard that her little junior brother had become a "public bus," she no longer cared.
Then, she said to Yun Fan, "She is now a direct disciple of my senior uncle. When I have the chance, I will kill her!"
"Uh..."
Yun Fan silently mourned for Wang You. Daring to provoke his second senior sister was no different from seeking death!
The senior and junior siblings chatted for a long time. Finally, Linglong decided to accompany Yun Fan to the mortal world for a stroll. However, just as they were about to leave the small world, she received a message from her master, asking her to return to the Fengchan Land.
It was an urgent message, and she didn't know the reason, but she decided to go back first.
Judging by her master's hurried tone, something big was about to happen.
Therefore, at this moment, she bid farewell to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said, "Second senior sister, take care. I will come to find you!"
"Mhm, mhm!"
She reminded Yun Fan, "Little brother, don't come over unless it's necessary. It's better if I come to find you!"
Although she also wished Yun Fan would come to find her, she knew the special nature of Yun Fan's identity, and it would be very dangerous for him to come.
So, she would wait until she had resolved the matter before coming to find Yun Fan. For now, they had to part ways with great reluctance.
"Little brother, a kiss!"
Linglong's eyes were filled with reluctance and longing.
Yun Fan was truly speechless. He thought, 'Second senior sister, you are a cold and aloof immortal!' However, since his senior sister had made a request, he would do his best to fulfill it.
Thus, he gave Linglong a passionate kiss. Linglong then left without looking back, not wanting Yun Fan to see her tears of emotion.
After Linglong left, Yun Fan decided not to linger in the small world any longer.
He planned to return. However, as soon as he reached the exit of the small world, he saw that his phone had reception, and his third senior sister had called him dozens of times.
This must mean something big had happened, so he quickly answered the call, "Third senior sister, what's wrong?"
"Little brother, something terrible has happened. I can't contact my sister!"
Zhao Feiyue said anxiously over the phone.
"Haven't you gone back to check?"
Yun Fan asked, confused.
Zhao Feiyue replied, "That's what worries me the most. I went back, but I couldn't find the entrance to the Hidden Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan was immediately moved. If it were understandable that his third senior sister couldn't find the entrance to the small world, but not being able to find the entrance to the Hidden Sect was truly alarming.
It was highly likely that something major had happened in the Hidden Sect.
Therefore, he said to Zhao Feiyue, "Don't worry, third senior sister. I'll go and see what's going on!"
"Okay, I'll rush over too!"
Zhao Feiyue said on the phone.
"Mhm!"
After hanging up the phone, he changed direction and headed towards the Hidden Sect. How could something have happened for no reason?
Indeed, when he arrived outside the Hidden Sect, he found that the environment and geography had changed. This caught him completely off guard.
How could it have changed so quickly? No wonder his third senior sister couldn't find the entrance, and neither could he.
Fortunately, he had already broken through to the level of a Land Immortal, so even if he couldn't find it, he could still sense what was happening inside.
With his perception, he immediately discovered the clue. He didn't know why, but he could sense a dangerous aura.
He remembered that he had been to the Hidden Sect several times before, and there had never been such a powerful presence.
Just then, Zhao Feiyue also arrived.
"Little brother, have you found a way?"
Zhao Feiyue asked worriedly. At this moment, her biggest concern was her sister, Zhao Lingyue.
Yun Fan nodded and said, "Third senior sister, I've found a way. I'm going in right now!"
"Mhm, mhm! I'll go with you!"
Zhao Feiyue nodded, preparing to step in with Yun Fan.
But Yun Fan shook his head, "No!"
"Why?"
Zhao Feiyue asked, confused.
He replied, "There are many unknown dangers inside. Third senior sister, you cannot go. Trust me, I will bring Lingyue out!"
"Okay!"
Zhao Feiyue was not a foolish woman. While she was worried, when her strength was insufficient, she decisively agreed, not wanting to cause trouble for Yun Fan.
"Don't worry, third senior sister! I believe Lingyue will be safe!"
"But..."
Zhao Feiyue said decisively, "Forget it, little brother, hurry up! If there's any irreversible danger, don't push yourself!"
"Don't worry, third senior sister!"
Yun Fan smiled, then leaped and broke through the defenses, disappearing from sight.
...
At this moment, Yun Fan had entered the Hidden Sect and found everything to be chaotic. This aura was so familiar.
The next moment, he realized that this aura was a malevolent energy, a terrifyingly potent one. He didn't know why the Hidden Sect had undergone such a change.
At this moment, he headed directly towards the Zhao family. With his speed and strength, it wouldn't take long to reach the Zhao family.
However, upon arriving at the Zhao family, he found it empty.
The surroundings were filled with malevolent energy. At this moment, Yun Fan couldn't help but worry, because he was a Land Immortal, so these malevolent energies didn't bother him.
But he firmly believed that even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't withstand these energies.
If Zhao Lingyue had an accident, let alone facing his third senior sister, he himself would be deeply saddened.
After all, Zhao Lingyue was his sister-in-law!
Just then, Yun Fan went to investigate the source of the malevolent energy, to find out who was behind this, and how it had permeated the entire Hidden Sect.
At this moment, he saw a dazed person walking in the mist ahead, looking very eerie.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that this person was none other than Li Taohua.
The young master of Peach Blossom Valley.
However, he did not stop Li Taohua because he found that Li Taohua had no signs of life.
Someone had used this killing aura to strip the lives of the creatures here.
The deeper he went, the more he found walking dead like Li Taohua. They were all dead.
Their bodies were merely being influenced by the malevolent energy and inertia, like wandering spirits in the human world.
Yun Fan's eyes were filled with uncontrollable rage at this moment.
Then, he carefully sensed his surroundings and finally discovered traces of life tens of miles away, which was the location of Medicine King Valley.
Therefore, Yun Fan wasted no time and went directly to Medicine King Valley, only to find that the entrance to Medicine King Valley was sealed.
Outside Medicine King Valley, there were many corpses, and also occasional walking dead, singing mournful and beautiful songs in the gloomy night, which sent shivers down one's spine.
Because Jiang Xueyan had told him how to open Medicine King Valley earlier, he easily opened the sealed door.
After entering, the seal closed again.
Upon entering Medicine King Valley, Yun Fan found that it was a blessed land. Although there was still malevolent energy here, it was not obvious.
As long as one was powerful enough, they could almost certainly survive. They didn't need to be very strong, as long as they were at Foundation Establishment or above, they would not be affected.
At this moment, he arrived at the main hall of Medicine King Valley and found that a large number of disciples' corpses were piled up outside the hall.
It seemed they were preparing for a collective cremation.
"Valley Master, we can't wait any longer. If this continues, we will all die!"
At this moment, Yun Fan heard a conversation, and the voice was very familiar. Wasn't it Zhao Lingyue?
Yun Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zhao Lingyue was safe, it was fine.
Mo Yun said helplessly, "Alliance Leader Zhao, if we escape now, we will surely die. It's a pity that this damned malevolent energy has blocked the signal, preventing us from seeking help from the outside world!"
Zhao Lingyue also showed a deep sense of helplessness. When the malevolent energy spread, she happened to be visiting Medicine King Valley, so she escaped this disaster. She didn't know what the situation was like outside, but seeing the changes within Medicine King Valley, she knew that the outside must have already become hell on earth.
She dared not gamble and could only stay within Medicine King Valley. However, the disciples with low strength in Medicine King Valley died every day, and their bodies would undergo mutations after death. She didn't know when it would be their turn.
Therefore, it was impossible for her not to be afraid.
At this moment, an elder said, "Valley Master, the bodies have all been arranged!"
"Burn them!"
Mo Yun ordered with deep pain.
"Mhm!"
Just at this moment, Zhao Feiyue's heart trembled. Although she feared death, she wasn't overly terrified. What she feared most was not being able to see Yun Fan again before she died. If she could see Yun Fan one last time, she would die without regret.
However, at this moment, she saw the person she longed for. Not far ahead, Zhao Lingyue was instantly stunned.
She thought she had been affected by the malevolent energy and was hallucinating, until Mo Yun exclaimed excitedly, "Young friend Yun, why have you come?"
Zhao Lingyue then realized that she wasn't hallucinating, but that Yun Fan had truly arrived. Yun Fan's arrival brought hope to these people who had lost hope.
"Brother-in-law... Brother Yun!"
Zhao Lingyue exclaimed excitedly and threw herself into Yun Fan's arms.
Yun Fan could see that Zhao Lingyue's face was very haggard, and it was not difficult to imagine what she had gone through during this time.
He comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
"Mhm, mhm!"
Zhao Lingyue said tearfully, "I was really afraid I would never see you again!"
"How could that be?"
Yun Fan smiled and said, "I'm here to save you!"
At this moment, after comforting Zhao Lingyue, he said to Mo Yun, "Valley Master, what exactly happened?"
Mo Yun sighed upon hearing this, "Most likely, that person has been resurrected!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was confused, as he realized Mo Yun seemed to know some secrets.
"Young friend Yun, come with me!"
Then, he took Yun Fan to the study room where the ancient texts were kept in Medicine King Valley and handed him a secret scroll.
Yun Fan took the scroll and read it, finally understanding the reason.
It turned out that more than a thousand years ago, during the darkest period of turmoil, five tribes from the foreign lands had wreaked havoc in China.
They were eventually suppressed, but one of their tribal leaders was buried in the place where the Hidden Sect was located. This tribal leader was named General Yin Hu.
His death back then was very strange. The other four tribal leaders were killed, but he chose to commit suicide and die with his tribesmen.
It was only because the burial site was very secret at the time, and no one found it. However, in Yun Fan's opinion, Yin Hu might not be dead, but had feigned death and fallen into a slumber, awakening in this era.
This person's hands were stained with the blood of their ancestors, and Yun Fan would never let him go.
Mo Yun said apprehensively, "I originally thought this was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true. Of course, this is just my guess, and whether it's true or not remains to be seen!"
Yun Fan replied, "It doesn't matter. Whether it's true or false, I'll know when I go to meet him!"
