The 2nd episode: Shu Mountain, Kunlun!

  Night, so quiet, quiet to the point of not hearing any sound at all;

  The moon is so clear and cold, with a pale light sprinkled, revealing a faint forest chill.

  Lofty Kunlun, lying east for a thousand miles, as far as the eye can see, undulating without end, countless gullies and ridges rising and falling; solitary peaks and precipitous blades, thousands of feet suspended in mid-air, clouds and mist shrouding, several layers of wind and cold, sitting forgetting on the peak, leaving behind a lingering regret.

  The mountain wind howled, blowing her clothes, but she was like a lonely moon hanging on the mountain top, and in the bleakness, there was an unapproachable chill.

  Leaning against a slanting stone, slender hands like jade gently stroked the brow, raised head, and gazed upwards. In the depths of the sky, a curved moon, sparse stars, twinkling starlight scattered across the expanse, revealing endless mystery and profundity, as if swallowing human thoughts, leaving behind only a faint sigh...

  "Look, on the side of Mount Emei, the golden light is dazzling, they have many disciples, unlike us Kunlun. The tradition of our Kunlun Mountain is called 'day and month determine yin and yang', Kunlun, that is, one day one month, so it has always been one master and one apprentice, only you and me..." Lonely Moon's voice was indifferent, just like her gaze, which was cast far away at the place where a few strands of golden light were shining through.

  The wind was howling, almost drowning out her voice. Xuan Tian Sect wore a black robe, quietly watching her, just like that, watching her, even if another two hundred years passed, he wouldn't feel lonely or bored.

  "Tianzong, how long have you been following me to Kunlun Mountain?" Yuexia suddenly turned around, her eyes shining brightly as she approached him.

  "Two hundred years." Almost subconsciously, Xuan Tianzong blurted out, his heart unable to hold back a sigh. How could he not remember the time he spent with her?

  "Two hundred years... and another two hundred years have passed, yet I still can't change. Although your master has been gone for so long, I still miss him dearly. No matter what, I just can't get over this emotional hurdle, which is why my cultivation has stagnated." Lonely Moon let out a sigh, whether it was regret or longing, no one could tell. Suddenly, her expression turned stern and she took a step forward, saying in a severe tone: "Tianzong, I won't let you follow in my footsteps, you must leave me."

  Xuantian Sect hadn't even had time to react, when Guanyue raised his hand, a cold light suddenly appeared, curved and clear, silently piercing through the void. Xuantian Sect's expression changed, he suddenly flipped his hand, golden light bursting forth like a blazing sun in the sky, forcefully blocking that cold light.

  Gu Yue's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile. Although his cultivation time was not long, the Xuan Tian Sect's innate talent was extraordinary. In just two hundred years, he had already reached the peak of the Earth Immortal realm. As long as he took another step forward, he could break through the barrier and become an immortal that was no weaker than, or even stronger than, himself. She was truly satisfied with him, but it seemed that this was also why she became infatuated with him, ultimately falling into the trap of emotions and unable to extricate herself.

  It was as if he knew the master's intention, and that cold light suddenly rolled back, Lone Moon's figure was like lightning, and with a raise of her hand, she wrapped that cold light around her and flew towards him. The body of Xuan Tian Sect shook, and he had already been deceived by Lone Moon to be close in front of him, but he did not dodge, facing her, he seemed to always be at a disadvantage, it was not that he could not win over her, but rather he did not want to win over her.

  "This is the Moon Golden Wheel, it's my weapon. Only when you've cultivated it successfully can you return. In case...," Lonely Moon hesitated for a moment, staring intently at him, as if wanting to engrave his appearance deeply in her heart, "In case you come back and can't see me, this Moon Golden Wheel will know where I am, and at that time, it will bring you to see me."

  She suddenly drew back and retreated, Lone Moon turned her head away, no longer looking at him. She was afraid, afraid that she would not be able to hold on, would change her own will.

  That one cold light seemed to emerge from nothingness, transforming into a sharp blade, like the first crescent moon, slowly rotating, stopping in front of Xuan Tian Zong. Before he could react, it had already transformed into a stream of light and entered his palm, disappearing without a trace.

  Xuantian Sect's Shizi trembled and couldn't help but speak out: "The Sun Golden Wheel and the Moon Golden Wheel are our sect's treasures, how will you deal with the demonic invasion?"

  "My fate is tied to your success or failure, don't hesitate, go!" Lonely Moon's slender hand gently lifted, supporting her own forehead, not daring to look at Xuan Tian Sect again, she murmured; "As for the future, let's talk about it later..."

  At that moment, on the Sit-forgetting Peak, in a dimly lit corner, a faint light screen appeared and disappeared, shrouding this place. On the icy mountain rocks, a young man wrapped in black robes sat quietly, gazing through the thin light screen at the solitary moon and Xuanyuan of the Mystic Heaven Sect not far away.

  Everything was so familiar, yet felt incredibly strange, because even now, he couldn't tell what was real and what was an illusion.

  He said it was true, but he had just been in the Xian Xia world with Lu Xueqi a while ago. In the blink of an eye, he came to this more mysterious and magical Shu Mountain world. If all of this were false, then why could he clearly feel the love for Lu Xueqi deep within his heart, that nostalgia buried at the bottom of his heart?

  "Xiao Yunfei, Xiao Yunfei, you can't even tell if your own existence is real or fake, how ridiculous!" The young man in black robes smiled wryly, his mouth twitching as he stretched out a trembling hand to grasp at the air, but caught nothing. Although it was possible to see and hear what was outside from here, this thin layer of light seemed to separate this place from another world, dividing them into two distinct realms.

  Suddenly, his body shook and the cold words of the Wheel of Rebirth's master deity suddenly appeared in his mind:

  "0066 Lone Hunter Xiao Yunfei enters the third round, special team battle round story starts, Shu Mountain, enters hunting mode, storyline identity: Huashan School disciple Xiao Yunfei (300 years before the storyline started, Huashan Sword Sect was destroyed by Blood Demon Youquan, and Xiao Yunfei is the only surviving disciple of Huashan Sword Sect)."

  Initial Mission Location: Kunlun Mountain Zuowang Peak; Medium Fantasy Drama, Difficulty: Intermediate.

  Branch storyline mission activated: Assist the Lonely Moon Master of Kunlun Mountain in resisting the attack of Youquan's first wave, ensuring the safe withdrawal of Xuantian Sect from Kunlun Mountain. Mission completion rewards 10 years of Xianyuan power and 500,000 points; mission failure results in annihilation!

  As the voice of the main god's hint sounded, Xiao Yunfei suddenly felt clearly that the layer of light screen in front of him had disappeared abruptly. In the deep night, the howling mountain wind swept over, blowing his clothes and making a rustling sound, which was particularly audible on this Situofeng peak.

  "Which superior being has arrived at Zuò Wàng Peak, please reveal yourself." Just as the words left his mouth, a figure appeared on Zuò Wàng Peak. It was definitely not Xiǎo Liǔ, and what's more, the other party had managed to arrive at Zuò Wàng Peak without him noticing. Although Xiǎo Liǔ's cultivation was high, it was clear that he hadn't reached this level yet.

  "Kunlun Mountain's Lone Moon Master is indeed renowned for a reason." Xiao Yunfei spoke calmly, his figure appearing in front of Lone Moon with the howling night wind, his hands clasped together in respect as he bowed and said: "I am Xiao Yunfei from Huashan Sect, it's an honor to meet Master Lone Moon."

  The lonely moon's delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, the bright light in her eyes flashed and disappeared in an instant, then she smiled and said, "I suppose you didn't come to Mount Kunlun this time just to see me, Lonely Moon."

  Xiao Yunfei smiled calmly and said, "Indeed, I came to Kunlun Mountain this time because I discovered that the Youquan old demon who destroyed my Huashan Sword Sect 300 years ago is heading towards Kunlun Mountain. So, I specially rushed here to report... Ah..." Xiao Yunfei paused slightly and sighed, "It seems that Master Guanyue already knows."

  The lonely moon slightly nodded and said calmly, "Young man, your cultivation is quite good, even better than my useless disciple from the Xuantian Sect. However, the old monster Youquan's strength is not something you can handle right now. Leave quickly, preserve your strength, and become stronger in the future. After all, the hopes for the future lie with you young people."

  "What kind of hope? Hahaha... I'd like to see what your future hope looks like?" Before Lonely Moon's words had fallen, a loud and mournful laugh suddenly came from the distant sky, accompanied by the appearance of the first ferocious skull, followed by the second, third... Endless black fog surged and howled, mournful cries piercing through the night sky like tearing hearts apart.

  In an instant, the wind and clouds changed suddenly, the originally clear night sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, the crescent moon and sparse stars, the last ray of light between heaven and earth also disappeared completely, boundless darkness shrouded everything, even five fingers were indistinct and invisible, what filled one's ears was only the howling of fierce winds, shaking the void.

  "Master Guoyue, it seems you've spoken too late..." Xia Yunfei let out a helpless sigh, and with a wave of his hand, a flash of cold light appeared, and a silver-white longsword materialized in mid-air. His five fingers slowly curled up, tightly grasping the hilt, the sword blade trembling slightly, humming incessantly.

  "Good sword!" The lone moon's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and then she chuckled and said: "Since we can't leave now, let's stay and resist the attack of Youquan together. However, as I said before, I'll try to hold off Youquan later, you have a chance, just go."

  Xiao Yunfei was shocked by the words, and he looked at Gu Yue with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. Her slender figure stood tall, as still as a block of black ice, without any expression on her face, like an elf made of snow and ice. In her eyes, there was a hint of determination and perseverance... It seemed that in this moment, the two figures, he and she, had truly merged into one.

  "Hmm." Facing her, he would never refuse...
