Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 26 Unexpected disaster
Maybe God heard Yun Yi's thoughts and decided to give him a chance to practice well.

As soon as the three of them left the Feitian Secret Realm, they found themselves in the midst of a rare storm. The Forget-Your-Worries Spring had completely shattered its original appearance. Both the water and the trees had been swept into the air, mixing with more sand and dirt to form a terrifying yellow vortex.

Yun Yi suddenly remembered that the caravan he had met before had said that there would be a storm in the desert in three days, but no one had said that the scale of this storm would be so huge.

The flow of time in the Feitian Secret Realm is different from that in the outside world. Yun Yi clearly felt that at least a week had passed, but in the outside world it was only three days.

Therefore, he never considered that he would encounter this storm, let alone prepare for it.

Zhuque and Nangong Zhuozhuo, with slightly higher cultivation, were able to barely maintain their position in the storm, but that was all they could do. Yun Yi couldn't even stand steadily, relying only on the immense force of the Fangyuan Sword to maintain his stance.

"What's going on? I want to go back to the secret realm!" Nangong Zhuozhuo staggered and shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.

Zhuque immediately offered the golden bell and red silk, and asked the other two to each hold one end. She said, "We can't get out of this desert like this."

Yun Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Can I escape using the Three Flame Escape Technique?"

"Sure, but I can only take one person with me. What about Zhuozhuo?" Zhuque then asked the girl beside him, "Do you have any way to protect yourself or escape?"

Nangong Zhuozhuo squinted his eyes and said in pain: "I seem to be blinded..."

Suzaku: "..."

Yun Yi was speechless and said, "Don't ask. She has never lived in the outside world and has never even seen a desert. How could she possibly leave?"

Suzaku made up his mind and said, "Then I'll take you away first, and then come back to find her."

"No, she's simple-minded. What if something happens to her if she stays here? She's Senior Nangong's daughter. Since Boss Monkey has entrusted her to us, we must take good care of her!"

"Yun Yi, are you a fool? What's more important, your promise or your life?!"

"Listen to me, you take Zhuo Zhuo away, I have a way to survive, we can just meet up in Crescent City."

"You have no idea how terrible this storm is!"

"I am confident. I am now in the Qi Refining Realm and have magical weapons at my disposal."

Zhuque spat out a mouthful of sand and cursed, "That's what happened to you and the young lady last time!"

Yun Yi advised: "Please trust me just once!"

Nangong Zhuozhuo was still confused and asked, "What are you arguing about?"

Yun Yi took a last look at the dazed Nangong Zhuozhuo, and suddenly let go of the golden bell and red silk. Even though Zhuque hurriedly reached out to save her, he missed.

The next moment, Yun Yi was swept high into the sky by the huge wind and disappeared into the yellow storm, never to be seen again.

Zhuque stamped his feet furiously, "Yun Yi, if you die, I...my young lady will never let you go!"

Seeing that the storm was getting bigger and bigger, Zhuque could not think of a way to rescue Yun Yi, so he could only grit his teeth, grab Nangong Zhuozhuo's wrist and perform the Three Flames Escape.

In just the blink of an eye, the two of them appeared a hundred miles away, even leaving the desert and finding themselves in a jungle.

Nangong Zhuozhuo asked in surprise: "Where are we? Where is Yun Yi?"

Suzaku said worriedly, "I hope he's okay. Let's go to Crescent City and wait for him as agreed."

Yun Yi and Song Xinci survived the desperate situation in the nameless town, so she believed that Yun Yi would be fine this time.

"What kind of place is Crescent City? Are there any delicious food or fun things to do?" When talking about this, Nangong Zhuozhuo instantly forgot about Yun Yi.

"You must like it." Suzaku said helplessly.

At this moment, she still didn't realize how terrifying it was to live alone with a "child in the Spiritual Transformation Realm".

……

Yun Yi was in the center of the vortex and urgently began to save himself. Fortunately, he had put all the treasures into the Sumeru Ring before. Now he only needed to place his fingers on the silver-white ring to use his mind to retrieve the contents.

The most urgent task was to find a piece of the Soul-Returning Grass from among the herbs left by Zhi Lao Er, hold it in his mouth, and chew it up and swallow it whenever his spiritual power was exhausted. Although the medicinal effect was not as good as the refined elixir, it was still a treasure that could save his life at this moment.

But this was not enough, Yun Yi was still in the storm. He now faced two choices. The first was to use herbs to replenish his spiritual energy, to hold on until the storm abated and the wind died down, and then make a decision based on his landing point.

But no one knows when the storm will stop. If it lasts for several days and nights, Yun Yi will not be able to survive even with the protection of elixirs.

The second option is that Yun Yi dares to leave Zhuque's trump card. After entering the Qi Refining Realm, he is already able to use the Green Lotus Sword Intent in the Purple Gold Gourd.

Although the treasure will lose one point every time it is used, it is a matter of life and death now and there is no time for that.

Yun Yi thought for a moment and immediately summoned the Green Lotus Sword Intent, attaching it to the Fangyuan Sword.

Then the ancient-style square was covered with a touch of green, and the sword was full of spirit, and it somersaulted mischievously, causing Yun Yi to spin with the sky and the earth, and almost vomit.

He said, "Stop making trouble and take me away from here."

Yun Yi didn't have time to give a more precise command, and he didn't know how much the Green Lotus Sword Intent understood. It attached itself to the Fangyuan Sword, one end of the sword pointing toward the horizon, and then it shot out with a whoosh.

The speed was so fast that it seemed like a meteor streaking across the sky, and it even left a torn cloud-like airflow behind it.

Unfortunately, Yun Yi's spiritual power was limited, and even after consuming the Soul Returning Grass in his mouth, he couldn't withstand such a high level of consumption. So after the Fang Yuan Sword broke through the storm, it flew another hundred miles before stopping due to Yun Yi's exhaustion of spiritual power.

The Green Lotus Sword Intent finally emerged and moved, but now it could only return to the Purple Gold Gourd in frustration. Yun Yi was almost losing his mind, and subconsciously hugged Fang Yuan tightly in his arms and fell headfirst from the air.

Fortunately, the height was only a dozen feet, and with his current Qi Refining Realm physique, he would not fall to death directly.

boom!
Yun Yi held Fang Yuan and smashed a big hole on the ground. Before he fainted, he used his last bit of strength to put the purple gold gourd into the Sumeru Ring.

Then his eyes closed, his head tilted, and he lost consciousness.

Yun Yi didn't know that his first sword flight was quite successful. Not only did he leave the storm-swept desert area, but he also arrived deeper in the Great Xia Dynasty, a place called Cuiwei Mountain.

……

A young man and woman were dressed in blue and white clothes. Judging from their attire, they should be from a righteous sect. The man was talented and the woman was beautiful, both of them were very good-looking.

The woman had a bun on her head and looked no more than 28 years old. Her voice was like a lark, and she kept chirping along the way: "Brother, the elders said that the ground veins here are moving strangely, but why don't I feel anything at all?"

The elder brother seemed older and was extremely patient with his younger sister. "You and I are only at the Qi Refining stage, so naturally we can't detect it. But it doesn't matter. The movement of the earth veins will definitely have some signs. Just pay attention to the changes here."

"What kind of mutation?"

"Monsters are violent and ghosts are rampant."

"Isn't that dangerous? Can we handle it?"

"If you can't handle it, then report it to the sect. If you really encounter a strong enemy, you will be responsible for returning to get reinforcements, and my brother will be responsible for buying you time."

The female disciple is named Qi Ling'er and the male disciple is named Xun Ziyu. They are from the same master and both are from the Fuyao Sect.

Qi Linger spat repeatedly: "Brother, hurry up and stop saying unlucky things!"

Xun Ziyu followed suit and seemed to dote on this little junior sister very much.

He consoled her, "Unusual ground movements have been quite frequent in recent years, so we may not be facing the worst-case scenario."

Qi Ling'er asked: "What does it mean if it's not serious?"

"For example, snow in the summer and scorching heat in the winter. Or when plants don't grow and diseases are rampant."

"What about a situation where there's a big hole in the ground with a person inside?"

"I've never heard of this senior brother. Where did you get this information from?"

Qi Ling'er pointed at the big pit not far away and Yun Yi who was unconscious in the pit.
