The fairy love story between Bi Yao and Li Yuan after traveling through time

Chapter 169: A New Path to Suhe, First Encounter with Jinglan

Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand and said tenderly, "Yao'er, we can finally..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bi Yao's loud sneeze.

"A-choo!" Bi Yao rubbed his nose and smiled embarrassedly, "It's so cold in spring, I don't know who is thinking about me." Li Yuan smiled indulgently and was about to speak, but suddenly, his expression froze, and the communication jade slip in his hand became slightly hot.

He checked quickly and his expression instantly became serious.

"What's wrong?" Bi Yao noticed his abnormality and asked with concern.

Li Yuan handed the jade slip to her, "Look, recently, immortal cultivators have disappeared in various places, and most of them are of lower cultivation..."

Bi Yao took the jade slip and quickly browsed the information on it, frowning.

The missing cultivators were scattered all over the place, and the way they disappeared was very strange. No traces of fighting were left behind, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

"This is so strange," Bi Yao put down the jade slip and said solemnly, "Could it be the remnants of the demon clan?"

"Unlikely," Li Yuan shook his head. "The demons act openly, not so quietly. Moreover, according to the news sent back, all traces of the missing cultivator's spiritual energy have completely disappeared, as if..." He paused, as if searching for the right words, "as if completely wiped out by some force."

A shadow fell over the hearts of both of them.

The emergence of this mysterious power made them feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

The fairy world, which has been peaceful for a long time, seems to be facing new challenges.

They immediately set off for the town where the recent disappearances occurred.

The town is nestled between mountains and water, with beautiful scenery, but it is shrouded in an indescribable depressing atmosphere.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan visited the family and friends of the missing cultivator, but found nothing.

All clues point to a dead end, as if these immortal cultivators had never existed.

As night fell, the two stood on the highest mountain in the town, overlooking the town with dim lights, in silence.

A cold wind blew, and Bi Yao couldn't help but shiver.

Li Yuan took off his outer robe and put it on her, saying softly, "Don't worry, we will definitely find out the truth."

Bi Yao nodded, but her eyes fell on the twinkling stars in the distance, and she felt vaguely uneasy.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and turned to look at Li Yuan. "Do you think..."

Bi Yao took a deep breath and stared at Li Yuan with a sharp gaze, "What do you think, could it be some kind of formation we have never seen before, or... some kind of spatial crack?" Modern detective novels made her accustomed to thinking about problems from the perspective of logical reasoning, rather than simply relying on the experience of the world of immortal cultivation.

Those immortal cultivators who disappeared out of thin air did not seem to be captured, but rather transferred to another place by some force.

Li Yuan was stunned at first, then a light flashed in his eyes.

He carefully recalled the various anomalies that had occurred recently and found that there were indeed some subtle traces that could support Bi Yao's speculation.

For example, near the location where the disappearance occurred, there was a brief disturbance in the spiritual energy fluctuations. This disturbance was extremely subtle and could easily be overlooked without careful observation.

"Yao'er, you are so smart!" Li Yuan couldn't help but praise, his eyes full of admiration.

He habitually wanted to talk endlessly about praise, but when he met Bi Yao's slightly shy eyes, he stopped in time.

He gently held Bi Yao's hand, stroking the back of her hand with his fingertips, his eyes full of love and trust.

Bi Yao returned a gentle smile, her cheeks slightly flushed.

The night breeze blew gently, bringing with it a hint of spring warmth, and an ambiguous atmosphere spread between the two.

After a moment, Bi Yao restrained his smile and said seriously: "If it really is some kind of space crack, then we must find it as soon as possible, otherwise more people will go missing."

Li Yuan nodded and immediately took out the map. He began to analyze it carefully based on the location of the disappearance and the area where the spiritual energy was disordered.

Bi Yao assisted him, using modern geographical knowledge and logical reasoning to help him locate suspicious areas more quickly.

After careful consideration, they finally set their sights on a dense forest northwest of the town.

The dense forest is shrouded in thick fog all year round and is rarely visited by people. Even experienced cultivators dare not set foot in it easily.

"There..." Li Yuan pointed at the dense forest on the map, his tone solemn, "According to ancient records, there seems to be an ancient teleportation array hidden in that dense forest, but no one knows its exact location and how to open it."

Bi Yao stared at the map, feeling a strange premonition in his heart.

"Let's go and take a look." Her tone was firm, with unquestionable determination.

Li Yuan looked at her determined eyes and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He knew that no matter what danger lay ahead, as long as Bi Yao was by his side, he would have nothing to fear.

The two smiled at each other and flew towards the mysterious forest on their swords.

As they got closer, the fog around them became thicker and thicker, visibility became lower and lower, and an inexplicable sense of oppression enveloped them.

Just as they were about to enter the depths of the dense forest, Bi Yao suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy. She suddenly grabbed Li Yuan's hand and whispered, "Be careful!"

Almost at the same moment, a dark shadow flashed through the thick fog, accompanied by a shrill scream...

The black shadow was extremely fast and appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan reacted quickly and used their magic weapons to resist at the same time.

There was a loud "clang" sound, and the black shadow was pushed back several steps, revealing its true appearance.

It was a monster that exuded a strong dark aura. It looked like a tiger, but had bat-like wings, blood-red eyes, exposed fangs, and emitted bursts of creepy roars.

Before they could catch their breath, dozens of the same monsters emerged from the thick fog. They rushed forward and surrounded Bi Yao and Li Yuan.

The monsters attacked fiercely, their claws and fangs flashing with a chilling light as they kept coming at them.

Bi Yao's mind raced, and he immediately thought of a countermeasure.

She winked at Li Yuan and called out, "Li Yuan, cover me!" Li Yuan understood and swung the sword in his hand like the wind. The sharp sword energy forced back the approaching monsters.

Bi Yao took the opportunity to cast a specially made talisman, which exploded in the air and turned into a dazzling white light, instantly attracting the monsters' attention.

Taking advantage of the moment when the monsters were confused by the white light, Bi Yao quickly took out a special dagger from the storage bag. The dagger was flashing with strange light. It was the magic weapon she had refined based on modern knowledge to restrain the power of darkness.

She was agile and moved quickly between the monsters. Every swing of her dagger could accurately hit the monster's weak spot, causing it to wail in pain.

Li Yuan cooperated with Bi Yao's actions and cast a powerful spell to completely destroy the monster injured by the dagger.

The cultivators who were originally panicked around were greatly encouraged by seeing how brave Bi Yao and Li Yuan were, and they also joined the battle.

For a moment, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the light of magic intertwined into a magnificent scene.

After a fierce battle, the monsters were finally all destroyed.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan walked to the corpse of the largest monster and found a bead that was flickering with a faint light inside its body.

The surface of the bead is engraved with strange runes, emitting an unsettling aura.

"What is this?" Li Yuan picked up the bead and looked at it carefully.

Bi Yao also leaned in to observe, his brow furrowed. "I've never seen the runes on this before..."

Suddenly, the communication jade slip in Li Yuan's hand lit up again. He hurriedly checked it and his face changed suddenly.

"Oh no! This kind of monster has appeared in other places, and there are more of them!"

Bi Yao's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

She snatched the beads from Li Yuan's hand and said, "Let's go back first!" After she finished speaking, she took Li Yuan's hand and flew towards the town without looking back.

After returning to her residence, Bi Yao placed the bead on the table, staring at it solemnly, and said slowly: "This bead, I'm afraid..." She paused and looked at Li Yuan, "I'm afraid it's not simple..."
