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

Chapter 88: Disaster strikes again, wisdom breaks the dilemma

The noise of celebration gradually subsided, and Bi Yao and Li Yuan walked hand in hand into their newly renovated courtyard.

Pushing open the vermilion gate, the fragrance of sweet osmanthus in the garden fills the air, and several butterflies are dancing among the flowers.

Li Yuan habitually held Bi Yao's hand and talked incessantly about the sword technique he had recently figured out. Bi Yao occasionally responded with a gentle smile on her lips.

This hard-earned tranquility makes them cherish it even more.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

"Report—" A hurried shout broke the peace of the courtyard, and a young cultivator stumbled in, his face pale and sweating profusely.

"Report to the two seniors, something happened!"

Li Yuan frowned, feeling a little unhappy about his train of thought being interrupted, but when he saw the panicked look of the visitor, he realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Tell me slowly, what happened?"

"Strange vortexes of spiritual energy have appeared everywhere... everywhere! They're devouring everything around them!" the young cultivator reported breathlessly. "Many lives have been sucked into them, their fate unknown! We've tried to stop them, but... but we can't even get close!"

Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other, and both saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

This sudden change was like a bucket of cold water that extinguished the joy in their hearts.

The cheers of victory still seem to echo in my ears, but a new crisis has quietly arrived.

Without thinking too much, the two of them set off immediately and followed the cultivator who reported the news to the scene of the incident.

The sight before them shocked them: a huge black vortex suspended in mid-air, spinning madly and swallowing everything around it.

Trees, houses, and even birds and animals that had no time to escape were ruthlessly swept up in it and disappeared without a trace.

Several cultivators were trying to attack the whirlpool with their spiritual power, but it was like a drop in the ocean, with no effect at all.

Instead, he was pulled by the powerful suction force emitted by the vortex and was almost sucked into it.

"This..." Li Yuan looked at the scene in front of him with a serious expression, "What on earth is this?"

Bi Yao did not answer. She stared at the vortex, her eyes flashing with thought.

Her intuition told her that this was no ordinary natural phenomenon.

There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this...

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in Bi Yao's ears: "I said, the game... has just begun."

Bi Yao turned around suddenly, but only saw a black figure flash by and disappear into the night.

She clenched her fists, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood side by side in front of the whirlpool, their robes rustling in the strong wind.

Li Yuan tentatively released a sword energy, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, not even a ripple was caused.

His usually optimistic and cheerful face was now covered with dark clouds.

"This power... is extraordinary." Li Yuan said in a deep voice, with a rare solemnity in his tone.

Bi Yao didn't say anything. She stared at the vortex, her mind racing.

This strange vortex, the mysterious black shadow, and the provocative words all made her feel inexplicably uneasy.

She vaguely felt that there was a huge conspiracy hidden behind this, a conspiracy that was enough to subvert the entire world of immortals and heroes.

"Could it be... the demons?" Li Yuan guessed, with a hint of worry in his tone.

Hundreds of years ago, demons invaded the world of immortals and heroes, causing great suffering to all living beings. That catastrophe still makes people shudder.

Bi Yao shook her head. "Not really. The demonic aura is violent and aggressive, but the power within this vortex is cold and strange, more like a kind of... devouring."

"Devouring?" Li Yuan repeated the word, feeling even more uneasy.

Just then, a scream was heard from a distance.

They turned around and saw a cultivator being pulled by the suction of the vortex and about to be sucked into it.

"Save him!" Bi Yao shouted without hesitation.

Li Yuan immediately summoned his flying sword and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the immortal cultivator.

He swung his sword to cut off the black aura wrapped around the cultivator and pulled the man back.

However, the black aura was like a maggot attached to the bones, constantly spreading towards the cultivator.

"Not good!" Bi Yao exclaimed. She recognized that it was spiritual power contaminated by the vortex. Once it was completely eroded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She quickly stepped forward and used her own spiritual power to force the black aura out of the cultivator's body.

However, this is only a temporary solution and the power of the vortex is still increasing, and the polluted area is also expanding.

If a solution is not found quickly, the entire Xianxia world will be swallowed up.

Li Yuan looked at Bi Yao's frown and gently held her hand. Bi Yao felt the warmth and strength in his hand and felt relieved. She knew they would face it together.

She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked firmly at the vortex that was swallowing everything.

"Li Yuan," Bi Yao said calmly, but with unquestionable determination, "We must stop it."

Li Yuan nodded, his eyes equally determined, "No matter what the cost."

Suddenly, Bi Yao's gaze fell on a mountain in the distance. On that mountain, there seemed to be something flashing a faint light.

"There..." Bi Yao pointed at the mountain, with a hint of doubt in his tone, "Let's go and take a look."

Without further hesitation, the two flew towards the mountain.

As the night deepened, the light on the mountain became clearer and clearer. It was a strange blue light, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

"What is this?" Li Yuan looked at the blue light and asked in confusion.

Bi Yao didn't answer. She walked closer to the blue light, stretched out her hand, and gently touched it...

"Wait!" Li Yuan suddenly shouted, but it was too late...

The moment Bi Yao's hand touched the blue light, a powerful force pushed her away.

She staggered back a few steps and Li Yuan quickly supported her.

"Are you okay?" he asked with concern.

Bi Yao shook her head, but her eyes were fixed on the blue light, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

"I think I know what these vortexes are."

"What's going on?" Li Yuan asked anxiously.

"These vortices aren't simply turbulent energy flows," Bi Yao explained. "They're more like... a resonance of energy." She paused and continued, "Just like resonance in modern science, when the frequency of energy reaches a certain value, it triggers resonance and generates enormous energy."

Li Yuan was confused. "Then what should we do?"

"We need to collect more data," Bi Yao said. "We need to understand the frequency of energy fluctuations in these vortices, as well as where and when they appear."

So they began the long process of data collection.

Bi Yao used the knowledge she brought from the modern era to design a special spiritual power detector that can accurately measure the energy fluctuation frequency of the spiritual power vortex.

Li Yuan was responsible for recording the location and time of the vortex's appearance.

They rushed non-stop to various places where vortices appeared, carefully collecting every piece of data.

The process was full of dangers and they were nearly swallowed by the whirlpool several times, but they never gave up.

However, Bi Yao's actions caused dissatisfaction among some cultivators.

They thought Bi Yao was just wasting time and should take action as soon as possible to stop the spread of the vortex.

"We can't wait any longer!" a cultivator shouted anxiously, "Every moment of delay will cause more lives to suffer!"

"I know," Bi Yao replied calmly, "but if we don't understand how the vortex is formed, we can't truly solve the problem. We must find the root cause of the problem before we can completely eradicate it."

Despite facing doubts, Bi Yao still sticks to his ideas.

She believes that only through scientific analysis can the best solution to the problem be found.

As the data accumulated, Bi Yao began to notice some patterns.

She discovered that the frequency and location of these vortexes seemed to follow a certain pattern...

"Li Yuan," Bi Yao pointed to several locations marked on the map, her tone tinged with excitement. "Look, the distribution of these vortexes, do they resemble..."

Before she could finish her words, the ground suddenly shook violently, and a black vortex, even larger than any previous one, appeared before them...

"Yaoyao!" Li Yuan grabbed Bi Yao's hand and protected her behind him, "Be careful!"

After several days of observation and analysis, Bi Yao finally discovered the pattern of the spiritual power vortex.

These vortices do not appear randomly, but are closely related to the flow of spiritual energy in the earth veins.

Whenever the spiritual energy of several specific earth veins converge, an energy node is formed, and the spiritual power vortex is born on these energy nodes.

"I see!" Bi Yao excitedly slammed the table. "As long as we can predict the location of the energy nodes in advance, we can set up a formation in advance to prevent the formation of a vortex!"

Li Yuan looked at the sparkle in Bi Yao's eyes, his heart filled with pride and love.

Although he didn't quite understand Bi Yao's complicated theories

Bi Yao led Li Yuan and a group of immortal cultivators to a place where an energy node was about to be formed.

Following Bi Yao's instructions, they set up a reverse spiritual power formation to guide the earth's spiritual energy in other directions to avoid the formation of energy nodes.

As time went by, the place where the vortex should have appeared became calm, which made the other cultivators admire Bi Yao very much.

"Senior Bi Yao is truly ingenious!" a young cultivator said excitedly, "We finally have a way to stop these terrifying vortexes!"

However, Bi Yao did not let down his guard.

She always felt that things were not that simple, and there seemed to be a mysterious force controlling everything.

"I'm afraid things aren't that simple," Bi Yao frowned as he looked at the calm sky. "The appearance of these energy nodes is too regular, as if they were deliberately arranged by humans..."

Just as Bi Yao was about to conduct an in-depth investigation, a cold voice suddenly sounded in her mind: "Don't continue investigating, otherwise you will regret it." The voice was like coming from the abyss of hell, full of threats and warnings.

At the same time, Li Yuan also felt a palpitation in his heart. A powerful pressure enveloped them, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"Yaoyao..." Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand tightly, his eyes full of worry.

Bi Yao ignored the mysterious warning and instead became more determined to investigate.

She turned to look at Li Yuan, her eyes firm and resolute: "Li Yuan, we can't back down! Whoever is behind this, we must find him out!"

Li Yuan looked at Bi Yao's determined eyes, his heart filled with admiration and love.

He nodded vigorously, held Bi Yao's hand tightly, and faced the unknown challenge with her.

Bi Yao took out a yellowed ancient scroll from his sleeve, which recorded some ancient formations and runes.

"Perhaps... we can find some clues from here..." She murmured to herself, her fingers gently stroking the lines on the ancient scroll.

Suddenly, the runes on the ancient scroll emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire room...
