Chapter 48 The Unluckiest Villain in History
Following the spiritual power of her senior brother, Lan Yue arrived at the luxurious pit they had dug during the day. There she saw a group of spirit turtles sleeping inside, and her senior brother on the back of one of the spirit turtles.
At this moment, Li Bai looked up at the sky, looking as if he had seen through the illusions of the world.
The tortoise next to him felt sorry for him and even moved to the side, patting the ground with its paw.
That little face seemed to be saying, "Here's a spot for you, you can sleep here tonight."
"No need, I'll just enjoy the breeze up there." Li Bai thanked him for his kindness, but then resolutely refused.
He was afraid that if he actually went into the hole, his junior sister wouldn't be able to see him and he would have to sleep in the pit all night.
[Lan Yue: Waaaaah, poor Senior Brother, he has to sleep in the cold wind? It's all my fault, I completely forgot about it.]
Before she even arrived, Li Bai heard Lan Yue's thoughts.
He couldn't help but smirk; his attempt to play the victim had definitely paid off! Now his junior sister felt guilty, didn't she?
[Lan Yue: Senior Brother, don't worry. Even though you suffered just as much in the original story, practically the unluckiest villain in history, I won't look down on you!]
Li Bai, who had just been smug, suddenly froze.
What? He's not only a major villain, but also the unluckiest villain in history?
Having listened to Lan Yue's thoughts for so long, Li Bai could vaguely guess the meaning of some of the words. For example, the original work was a book that Lan Yue had read before, which might describe a story with Yun Xi and some other people as the main characters.
Then Lan Yue transmigrated into this book and became the junior sister of Lingyue Peak.
The villain is someone who opposes the protagonist. Yuan Shuo could have become a villain before, but thanks to his junior sister's inner voice, he was saved in time.
So, what kind of villain is he?
Li Bai really didn't think he had any ability to compare with his senior brothers and sisters. His only talent was that he had a mutated lightning-type spiritual root, which was quite rare.
Which of those senior brothers and sisters who were stationed at the Hidden Sword Pavilion before wasn't stronger than him?
[Lan Yue: Sigh, I wonder if Senior Brother is the reincarnation of the God of Misfortune. Otherwise, how could he have tripped and fallen in an ordinary secret realm and ended up in the Demon Realm?]
The Demon Realm and the Demon Domain are different; there are currently four Demon Domains in the cultivation world.
This was formed because the power of the demon realm invaded the cultivation world, causing the Demon Abyss Rift to gradually expand.
Therefore, whenever a rift in the Demon Abyss appears, the sects in the cultivation world will be on high alert and repair the rift as quickly as possible.
Because if it is not repaired or not detected in time, it may very well become a demonic realm again.
The four demonic realms they already have are enough to give them a headache. If another demonic realm were to appear, the cultivation world would be riddled with holes by those demons.
Logically speaking, it's normal for the message to be transmitted directly to the Demon Realm, since some demons would set up traps specifically to capture cultivators.
However, directly transmitting to the Demon Realm is almost impossible, since these are two different realms. Unless it's some ancient grand formation, it's simply impossible to directly traverse between the two realms.
Li Bai's experience was just that bizarre. He didn't go through any ancient formation. Instead, because the secret realm was unstable, he tripped and fell through a crack into the Demon Realm.
In the dead of night, Lan Yue's thoughts suddenly rang out, and many more spiritual consciousnesses appeared outside Lingyue Peak.
From a distance, it appears as a dark and silent forest if you don't use your spiritual sense to investigate, but if you scan it with your spiritual sense, you'll find that almost every tree is covered with spiritual energy.
Some of the spirits even fought over territory, causing the leaves of the entire tree to rustle.
"Quiet!" The Fifth Elder flew over and took a look. His lips twitched. He quickly set up a concealment formation in the forest, fearing that Lan Yue inside Lingyue Peak would discover it.
The Fifth Elder came in his true form. He happened to be returning from outside and sensed something was going on here, so he rushed over. He didn't expect that Lan Yue would get involved in the gossip about his own disciple again.
He was worried about his young apprentice's future and wanted to listen carefully to see if he could avoid those things from happening.
However, upon hearing about the first misfortune that befell his eldest apprentice, he fell silent.
An ordinary secret realm, but a fall led to the Demon Realm—who would have thought! And there was no way to avoid it. Does this mean Li Bai will never go to secret realms again?
[Lan Yue: But it's alright, it seems Senior Brother has a magical constitution, with bad luck and good fortune coexisting. Although he fell into the Demon Realm, he also gained a legacy and was even hailed as a Demon General by a group of demon soldiers!]
In the forest outside Lingyue Peak, the Sixth Elder's spiritual consciousness was communicating with the Fifth Elder.
"Fifth Brother, your eldest disciple is quite remarkable. He managed to become a Demon General after falling into the Demon Realm. That's no ordinary person," the Sixth Elder remarked with admiration.
Of the four great demon realms, the most powerful are the Demon Generals, followed by the Demon Kings. Most of these Demon Kings reside within the Demon Realm and can only descend through special means.
The four major demon realms are now under the control of demon generals, who are quite powerful.
"Even demon generals are ranked. His cultivation, which he built up through inheritance, is not strong enough to withstand a fight." The Fifth Elder was extremely worried.
As if echoing his words, Lingyue Peak's inner voice resounded once more.
[Lan Yue: It was during their attempt to escape that the eldest brother accidentally caught a ball, and the beautiful bride from the demon realm fell for him and insisted on going with him.]
[However, this demon bride's husband's family was quite powerful, and they sent countless demon generals to hunt him down. The poor senior brother had just escaped danger, only to be forced to flee again.]
…
The Fifth Elder outside: "..."
With so many demon generals chasing him, even he might not be able to escape. I wonder what kind of luck his eldest disciple has.
Perhaps it really is as Lan Yue described, that he is possessed by the god of bad luck?
The Sixth Elder on the other side was also at a loss for words, unsure how to describe this predicament. "I can only say it's hard to say."
"More gossip to eat?" A familiar female voice came from across the room, and the two elders opposite them both shuddered.
"Sect Master of Crimson Moon, why are you here again in the middle of the night?" the Fifth Elder asked helplessly.
"Why can't I come? This is what your sect leader promised. I can be a guest at the Southern Spirit Sect for a while." The Crimson Moon Sect Leader had no qualms about it.
If it weren't for the urgent situation her daughter was in a few days ago, she would definitely have stayed here from beginning to end.
I don't know what my daughter was thinking, insisting on establishing the Wangchen Sect with those people. How could something like this, which involves founding a sect, be so simple?
The Crimson Moon Sect Master felt utterly exhausted and went to the Forgotten Dust Sect overnight to build a protective array for his daughter's mountain gate.
Elder Lu from the Crimson Moon Sect actually refused to leave and insisted on staying at their sect; he's quite a character.
Did he think he could see his daughter by staying in the sect? Dream on!
"What kind of gossip is this time?" The Crimson Moon Sect Master was extremely curious. She had only heard the last few words and was now scratching her head in bewilderment.
"It's nothing." The Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with wariness.
"Rest assured, I swear on my Dao heart that I will not say another word!" The Crimson Moon Sect Master swore to the heavens!
The two elders relaxed a little, but the wariness in their eyes did not completely disappear.
[Lan Yue: Of course, the eldest brother couldn't escape. He was directly captured and taken back. The young master of the Demon Realm was so angry that he wanted to publicly behead him. He even gathered a large number of people, just waiting to watch him lose his head!]
However, that very day, the demon bride arrived with her demon king father and snatched her little husband back in front of everyone. Hahaha, that's hilarious! System, your description is spot on—he really is her little husband!
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough!" Li Bai, sitting on the back of the spirit tortoise, suddenly started coughing violently, one cough after another, as if he couldn't breathe.
"Senior brother, are you alright?" Lan Yue finally snapped out of her reverie and noticed her senior brother coughing. She immediately felt even more guilty.
"Senior Brother, shall we find a place to stay first? It's all my fault for forgetting to arrange a place for you."
[Lan Yue: Looking at how delicate Senior Brother is, I hope he doesn't actually catch a cold? Speaking of which, are there any cold medicines in the cultivation world?]
Li Bai's coughing stopped abruptly.
