Li Tingyun: "..."

This Gu Xia is poisonous.

Is this the time to worry about whether it’s lively or not?

If this continues, your house will explode, you know that.

Seeing his speechless expression, Gu Xia immediately became serious and said, "Wait a minute, I have to ask our elders first."

Just as the Demon Lord thought.

This formation not only defends against demons, but also against them.

As long as the formation is not removed from inside, no one can get in.

The main point is that outside the formation, all beings are equal.

Gu Xia couldn't help but let out a sigh.

What is the furthest distance in the world?

Damn, that's it.

She immediately made a series of desperate calls, trying to summon Elder Zhong Yi.

The internal situation is unclear now, and with the Demon Lord and a group of demons surrounding them, she has to talk to the elders before deciding what to do next.

Perhaps it was because the formation was too chaotic. Gu Xia and Li Tingyun stared at the jade slip and saw it light up again and again without any reaction. This made Gu Xia feel a little uneasy.

How can she be such an elder?

Is something going to happen?

Although she and several fellow brothers often talked about collecting each other's bodies, she had never thought that such a thing would happen to an elder she was familiar with.

It’s hard to accept just thinking about it.

Gu Xia's expression became more and more tense. Li Tingyun beside her could probably guess what she was thinking. He paused and spoke based on the weak friendship between the two of them, "I think you were delayed by something. Calm down first."

He is an elder after all.

No matter how you think about it, it's impossible for something to go wrong so easily, right?

The clan leaders have always shown full trust in the elders who teach them and are familiar with them.

Gu Xia said: "Thank you, I am calm now."

"..."

Li Tingyun watched her hand on the scabbard gradually tighten. He was silent for a moment and silently moved a step to the side.

Your calmness and my calmness seem to be different.

Gu Xia’s mood is obviously not very good right now, so he should not provoke her for now.

At this moment, a familiar and steady voice finally came from the jade slip that had been briefly ignored by the two.

"Xiao Xia?"

Li Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief and motioned to her, "You are the elder."

The voice was caught by Elder Zhong Yi on the other side. He was slightly stunned, and then matched the slightly familiar young voice with one of the group of direct disciples in his memory.

Why did it feel like the child's voice just now seemed a little... relieved?

There was constant noise around him, and the two could clearly hear the sound of swords clashing and the faint cries for help from several disciples.

Obviously the situation is not good.

Gu Xia went straight to the point, "Elder, what's going on inside?"

Elder Zhong Yi sighed slightly, "I don't know either."

This is the truth.

Until now he still has no clue where these strange silk threads come from.

Li Tingyun retracted his gaze towards the sky and said, "Elder, can you let us take a look at what it is?"

"This is easy to handle."

Elder Zhong Yi threw another disciple into the protection area behind him, then adjusted the jade slip, and the surrounding scene quickly fell into the eyes of the two.

There were blood-red silk threads everywhere, with their fangs and claws bared, they had a clear target and went straight to the inner and outer disciples. Once they touched a person's body, they would quickly wrap it tightly and then hang it in the air.

The sword flashed and cut the silk threads. The captured disciples were successfully rescued, but there were still more figures fleeing in panic.

It would be difficult for Elder Zhong Yi and the Danfeng Peak Master to rescue everyone in time.

Not far away in the picture, there were figures lying on the ground in all directions. Gu Xia squinted his eyes and looked carefully, only to find that those shriveled corpses were wearing the familiar uniforms of Taiyi Sect disciples.

At a glance, they knew clearly what would happen if they were caught by these silk threads and could not break free in time.

There were so many of them just in this picture. The two of them imagined that if Taiyi Sect was covered with these strange silk threads everywhere, the scene made them gasp.

What the hell is this?

Elder Zhong Yi's slightly hurried voice sounded again, "Xiao Xia, what's going on with the Demon Lord outside?"

He couldn't figure out why the Demon Lord appeared.

Gu Xia pursed her lips and said, "I don't know the details, but one thing is certain, the silk threads that appeared in our sect should be closely related to the appearance of the Demon Lord here."

It was only at this moment that she connected the two things together. It seemed that this strange phenomenon suddenly appeared after the Demon Lord appeared and tried to attack the Taiyi Sect's protective formation with his palm.

"The Demon Lord is temporarily restrained by those powerful men who have come here. The most urgent task now is to deal with these threads, and also..." Gu Xia paused, "Elder, what are you planning to do with the formation..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Elder Zhong Yi. His tone was heavy but resolute, "The formation must not be withdrawn."

Then his tone softened a bit, "Xiao Xia, do you remember what I told you at the beginning?"

Gu Xia nodded.

Of course she remembered that Elder Zhong Yi had told her at the beginning that she must be careful and must not and dare not withdraw the sect protection formation.

Even in this situation today.

Otherwise, once the demons entered, they would be truly attacked from both sides.

"I understand." Gu Xia quickly scanned the images again, "Then leave the rest to us."

With Elder Zhong Yi in charge of the sect, they will be able to hold out for a short period of time. And no matter what the Demon Lord's purpose is, it seems that he has no intention of paying attention to her for the time being.

This happens to be a rare opportunity for Gu Xia.

However, the location where those silk threads appeared was inside, so even if they really had some clues at that time, they would definitely have to go in.

After a brief discussion with Elder Zhong Yi, she ended the communication.

Gu Xia suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing. She turned around and saw Li Tingyun, who was thinking about something. He seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts and not even paying attention to the outside world.

"Hi."

Gu Xia jumped over and patted him on the shoulder.

Li Tingyun suddenly came back to his senses. He raised his chin and said, "Gu Xia, don't you think something is wrong?"

"What?" Gu Xia didn't react for a moment.

Looking in the direction he pointed, Gu Xia also took two steps back.

The two stood side by side and looked up at the sky above the formation.

"It seems like there is a little bit." Her attention was just on the situation with Elder Zhong Yi. Now that Li Tingyun reminded her of this, she also keenly discovered the abnormality.

The location of those red lights.

Gu Xia immediately had an idea. She drew out the Fu Sheng Sword and said, "I'll go up and take a look."

Then he changed his mind and said, "Forget it, you can come too."

After saying that, he grabbed Li Tingyun, and the magic sword soared into the air and reached the highest point.
