a month later at noon
Western Regions, Graka Desert

The fiery red sun still hangs high in the sky, scorching the entire Graka Desert. There is nothing but yellow sand everywhere, and there is no life.

"Sigh~~"

The extreme high temperature distorted the surrounding air, reducing visibility.

In the distance, a figure appeared faintly. He walked slowly towards the edge of the desert, and every step was extremely difficult.

When he reached the edge of the desert, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief. He fell to the ground on his back and passed out.

[-] pm
"jingle bells"

A pleasant bell rang, and a long team of horses passed by the official road on the edge of the desert.

Suddenly someone said:

"Captain, look there is someone there!"

"Ok?"

The person called the captain followed the direction of his finger and saw a person lying on the edge of the Graka desert.

After a moment of contemplation, the captain said:
"Don't worry about him, the Graka Desert is a forbidden area, we are not allowed to enter"

"But the captain, he is already on the edge."

"That's not OK!"

Hearing what the team members said, the captain sternly reprimanded.

It is already extremely dangerous for them to walk on the edge of the desert, but there must be no mistakes again, otherwise there will be no way to communicate.

At this moment, a curtain was lifted on the carriage in the team.

An old man in his sixties poked his head out and asked:

"What's the matter, Hongta?"

Hearing the old man's voice, Captain Hongta immediately turned around and said:
"Village chief, there is a person there who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead"

"Oh, then send someone to look at it."

"This"

Captain Hongta hesitated, what to do if something happened.

The mayor said:
"There is a saying in Buddhism that saving one's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. What's more, we are located in the Western Regions, and we are all disciples of the Buddha. We should do good deeds."

"Yes, mayor"

Hongta responded, and then said to the team member just now:

"Go and see if he is alive or dead"

"Okay Captain"

After the team member finished speaking, he quickly ran towards the edge of the desert.

The rest of the horse team looked at him nervously, for fear that something might happen to him.

The team members quickly walked over to the man.

At this moment, he already felt that his source power was draining rapidly, his heart tightened, and he hurried to check the breath of the man on the ground.

The team members were overjoyed when they found that he was still breathing, but only a little weakly.

Using both hands, he grabbed the man's shoulders and dragged him backwards.

After dragging for more than ten meters, the team member finally couldn't feel the loss of source power, and he breathed a sigh of relief. His forehead was already covered with sweat.

The team members turned back excitedly and shouted:
"He's not dead yet, come and help!"

"coming"

"okay"

A few strong men quickly ran over from the horse team, and together with the team member, they carried the man back to the horse team.

Captain Hongta was a little surprised when he saw the man's face.

"So young!"

"It seems that another newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He dared to enter the Graka Desert. It can be regarded as a lesson for him."

"I don't know how this kid is cultivated?"

"Look at his skinny appearance, his cultivation must not be very good"

"Hahahaha"

Everyone let out a burst of hearty laughter.

At this time, the village head was helped out of the carriage and came to Hongta.

Glancing at the young man lying on the ground, the village chief said:
"Put him in my car"

"How can this work, let him get into your car, what do you do?"

"It's okay, I can still ride a horse with my old bones"

"Village Chief, don't let the horse shake you apart!"

Some team members joked.

The village head scolded with a smile:
"You little bastard, if I were ten years younger, I could beat you ten times"

"I believe, I believe"

"Okay, quickly lift him up, the sun is scorching, don't roast him to death anymore"

"Okay, brothers, help me"

Then several strong men carried the young man into the village head's carriage, and the horse team started to move.

"Let's go, go back to the village"

"Ow Oo"

"Snapped!"

"drive"

The whip was whipped, and the bell rang again.

"jingle bells"

Eastern Region, Luo Temple
Phoenix Pavilion

All the real power figures in Luoshen Temple came today, the conference table was full of people, Luo Youxue was still sitting in the main seat, but Bailong was not beside her.

The atmosphere at this time was a little dignified.

Everyone looked gloomy and said nothing.

It has been a month since the battle between Bailong and Yuji, but Bailong has not appeared for a long time.

At first, it was okay. Many people believed that it was a battle above the Immortal Realm after all. Even if it lasted for ten days or eight days, it was very possible, so no one was worried about Bailong's safety.

After all, Bailong's strength has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But as time went by, some people became restless.

The white dragon and the demon powerhouse seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again.

Originally, with Bailong's demonstrated strength and Luo Youxue's prestige, this matter could be suppressed, but after a long time, some people began to doubt it.

Later, it was even rumored that Bailong had died in the fight with the strong demon, otherwise why hadn't he appeared for so long.

Once the news came out, everyone felt a burst of regret.

After all, it has been a long time since such a peerless powerhouse appeared on the Canglong Continent, but it has fallen like a comet, which makes people feel such a pity.

But although it is peaceful on the surface, it is turbulent and treacherous in the dark.

When Bailong was still there, everyone naturally supported the Luo Temple. After all, his strength lies there, and he is number one in the mainland.

Now that Bailong is dead, many forces are beginning to move around.

Those who have old enemies with Luo Temple, those who covet the treasures of Luo Temple, those who covet Luo Youxue's beauty, all kinds of ghosts and snakes emerge in endlessly.

Among them, the Situ family is the most important.

After all, the Situ family suffered the biggest loss in the battle with the Luo Temple, directly losing a tenth-grade treasure, the Lightning Hammer.

Therefore, the Situ family planned to ask the Luo Temple to return the Lightning Hammer, and donated the most precious ice heart to make up for the Situ family's loss.

But these are spread in private for the time being, and have not yet made it to the public.

Because no one is sure whether Bailong is dead or not, what if it is a trap?
There was news on the black market that Situ Longwu had decided to wait another month, and if Bailong still didn't show up after one month, he would attack Luo Temple.

When the news reached Luo Temple, everyone was as heavy as Mount Tai.

The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and finally someone spoke.

Emperor Jiang Shang said:
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"Does Master Bai have any news?"

"You don't have to worry, I believe Bailong will be back soon"

Luo Youxue said coldly.

Then she asked:
"Senior Jiang Shang, with your current strength, is it possible to set up an eight-level defensive formation?"

"This"

Jiang Shang hesitated for a while when he heard this.

He gritted his teeth and said:
"If there are enough materials, I can deploy an eighth-level defensive formation, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stop strong enemies."

"It's okay, it's just in case"

At this time, Luo Qingshan, the head of the Divine Wind Hall, said:

"How about we contact several Wannian families and see if we can seek their help?"

"Don't think about it, those things that eat people and don't spit out their bones, it would be good if they don't hurt us at this time, and we can still count on them"

"That's right, we can only rely on ourselves now."

Everyone else countered.

Luo Youxue said:

"Okay, you all go down. During this period of time, you must strictly guard your posts and strengthen the patrols in Luoshen City. You must not let Xiaoxiao take advantage of the loopholes."

"Yes"

Everyone said in unison, and then they left one by one.

Luo Youxue sat on the chair, quietly looking into the distance.

"Where are you now?"
