Balala the Magic Fairy

That day, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle and gentle.

The Holy and Wise Empress Ruyi sat upright on the throne room, a look of deep thought on her face.

After a while, she summoned Yan Lili into the palace and gave her a secret order, ordering her to go to the North Sea to explore the legendary secret realm.

Yan Lili took the order and did not dare to delay in the slightest. She immediately packed her luggage and embarked on a journey to find the secret.

She was dressed in purple fairy clothes, with a sword at her waist and stepping on auspicious clouds. She was exhausted all the way and headed straight for the North Sea.

Halfway through the journey, they suddenly saw two immortal-looking people walking side by side in the misty area ahead. One of them was wearing a blue gown and had a cold temperament, while the other was wearing black clothes and had a bit of unruly look between his eyebrows.

Yan Lili looked carefully and found that it was Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian.

She was delighted and hurried forward, bowing and saying, "It turns out to be Master Lan and Master Wei. Lili is honored. I wonder why the two Taoist friends are here?"

Lan Wangji nodded slightly when he saw that it was Yan Lili, and said in return: "Madam Lihua, how are you? Wei Ying and I just happened to be passing by here, I wonder where you are going, Madam?"

Wei WuXian interrupted with a smile, “Madam Lihua, you are in such a hurry, is there something urgent?”

Seeing the two asking, Yan Lili did not hide anything and briefly told them what Ruyi had asked her to do: "According to the order of Saint Emperor Yihui, Lili is about to go to the North Sea to explore a secret place in the hope of finding some opportunities for the Shang Kingdom."

Lan Wangji heard this, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. He said, "I have also heard of the secret realm of the North Sea. If Madam does not mind, Wei Ying and I are willing to go with you to help."

Wei WuXian was also beaming with joy, and said, “That’s right, that’s right. The North Sea Secret Realm must also be a mysterious place. With the three of us traveling together, we will surely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

Seeing that the two were willing to help, Yan Lili was grateful and said, "It is a great honor for me to have you two Taoist friends accompany me. However, the North Sea Secret Realm is full of dangers, so you two should be careful."

After the three of them had made their decision, they rode on the clouds together and headed towards the North Sea.

Along the way, they talked and laughed, exchanged their cultivation experiences from time to time, and their friendship became deeper and deeper.

Finally, the three arrived at the coast of the North Sea, where they saw the sea and the sky were one color, the waves were surging, and it was a magnificent sight.

Yan Lili took out an old sea chart and pointed to a mark and said, "According to this sea chart, the entrance to the secret realm is on the seabed here."

Wei WuXian came forward, took a look at the sea chart, and said with a smile: “This sea chart is interesting, but the underwater world is vast and boundless, so we still need to plan carefully.”

Lan Wangji pondered for a moment and said, "We can split up, one person diving to investigate, and the other two supporting on the surface, just in case."

Yan Lili nodded in agreement. She knew that what Lan Wangji said was true, so she said, "That's great. I will be responsible for diving and investigating. You two Daoists will wait on the surface. If there is any unusual movement, you will respond immediately."

After the three of them had made their decision, Yan Lili used her underwater stealth skills and jumped into the sea.

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian were waiting on the water, ready to respond at any time.

Soon, there was a wave under the sea, and Yan Lili emerged from the water with a happy look on her face: "I have found the entrance to the secret realm, my two Taoist friends, follow me."

Seeing this, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian also used their underwater stealth skills and followed Yan Lili into the seabed to explore the mysterious North Sea.

The three of them continued on their way and finally arrived at a hidden underwater cave.

Deep in the cave, there was a faint glow of light, and it was obvious that there were valuable treasures hidden there.

Yan Lili was delighted and said, "This trip was worth it. We finally found the secret place."

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian also showed joy, and the three of them stepped into the cave together.

There were many traps and dangers inside the cave, but the three worked together to solve them one by one and finally got deep into the cave.

In the center of the cave, there was a clear spring. Above the spring, there was a crystal clear lotus floating, emitting a faint light.

Seeing this, Yan Lili said in surprise: "This is the legendary 'Bi Bo Lian'. Taking it can increase your cultivation by a thousand years."

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian were also delighted. The three of them carefully picked the blue lotus and found several other treasures in the cave before returning home satisfied.

On the way back, the three of them were very satisfied. Yan Lili said gratefully: "I was able to obtain such a treasure on this trip thanks to the help of the two Taoist friends. Lili would like to thank you here."

Lan Wangji smiled slightly and said, "You are too polite, Madam. It is our honor to be able to lend a helping hand to you."

Wei WuXian smiled and said, “That’s right, that’s right. If you need anything in the future, just let me know.”

The three men returned with the treasure and wanted to fly away on a cloud, but unexpectedly the scenery around them changed suddenly. Surrounded by clouds and mist, it was no different from the coast of the North Sea where they came from.

Yan Lili frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "This place is weird, have we mistakenly entered a maze?"

Lan Wangji looked around, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Madam is right, this formation is quite mysterious and very powerful. We need to be careful to deal with it before we can escape."

Wei WuXian chuckled and said, “It’s just a maze, it’s nothing to worry about. Lan Zhan, Madam Lihua, how about the three of us work together to break this maze?”

Yan Lili nodded and said, "Mr. Wei is right. The three of us can definitely break this formation if we work together."

After saying that, she took out a compass and observed it carefully, trying to find the flaws in the formation.

Lan Wangji stood with his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him, looking for the weakness of the formation.

Wei Wuxian took out his flute and blew it lightly a few times, using the music to explore the rules of the formation.

After a moment, Lan Wangji opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "I have glimpsed the secret of this formation. If I am not mistaken, this formation is based on the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams, and it has infinite variations. We need to follow a specific step to break out of the formation."

After listening to this, Yan Lili nodded and said, "Master Lan, that's a good idea. The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams are unpredictable, so we need to act with caution." She then began to calculate the steps to break the formation according to what Lan Wangji said.

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, “Although the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams are mysterious, they are not difficult for us. Lan Zhan, Madam Lihua, follow me.” He then led the two of them to take specific steps according to what he had understood.

The three of them walked forward slowly according to the steps. The surrounding fog gradually dissipated, revealing a clear path.

Soon, the three of them walked out of the maze and returned to the shores of the North Sea.

Yan Lili showed a happy expression and said to Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian, "I was able to escape this time thanks to your help. Lili is very grateful."

Lan Wangji smiled slightly and said, "Madam, you are too polite. If the three of us work together, we will be successful."

Wei WuXian laughed and said, “Although this maze is mysterious, it cannot stop the three of us. Madam Lihua, Lan Zhan, if you encounter such interesting things in the future, don’t forget to call me.”

Just as the three were about to ride the clouds away, unexpectedly the clouds and mist all around them rolled up again, the scenery before their eyes changed, and they were back in the maze again.

Yan Lili frowned and said in a deep voice: "This maze is so mysterious, one thing after another, it's really hard to guard against."

Lan Wangji's expression remained unchanged, but a trace of determination flashed across his eyes. He said, "Madam, don't worry. Although this formation is complicated, there is always a way to break it. We have just gained some insights. If we break the formation again, we will definitely be able to find a way out faster."

Wei WuXian was eager to try, and said with a smile: "This maze seems to be playing with us, it's very interesting. Lan Zhan, Madam Lihua, why don't we explore it again and see how many tricks it has."

After saying that, Wei WuXian blew the flute again. The sound was melodious, and seemed to echo with the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the maze.

Yan Lili took out the compass again and observed it carefully, looking for the pattern of the formation.

Lan Wangji closed his eyes and thought, sensing the changes in the spiritual energy around him, trying to find the flaw in the maze.

After a long time, Lan Wangji opened his eyes, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, and he said: "I have glimpsed a clue of this formation. It seems to be imitating the operation of nature. We just need to follow its changes and we can find a way to survive."

After hearing this, Yan Lili nodded and said, "Mr. Lan is right. The nature of heaven and earth is in an endless cycle. The secret of this maze may be hidden in this cycle." Based on Lan Wangji's instructions, she began to calculate the cycle pattern of the maze.

Wei Wuxian also stopped playing and said with a smile: "In this case, let's just go with the flow and see where this maze can take us." He took the lead and led the two of them through the maze according to Lan Wangji and Yan Lili's calculations.

The three of them walked slowly forward according to the calculated steps. The surrounding clouds and mist gradually dissipated, and the paths gradually became clear.

They seemed to be traveling through clouds and mist, and every step they took was on the nodes of a maze.

Finally, with the joint efforts of the three, the fog of the maze was completely dissipated, and they returned to the coast of the North Sea again.

A group of soldiers in distinctive armor appeared in front of them.

The leader was wearing a black robe, with a handsome face but a sinister look in his eyes. It was Cao Qinmo.

When Cao Qinmo saw the three people appear, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gently waved the folding fan in his hand, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Yan Lili, how are you? I have been waiting here for a long time. Today is the day for you and me to settle our old accounts."

When Yan Lili saw that it was Cao Qinmo, her heart sank. She knew that this person had a high level of cultivation and was very scheming. If they met today, there would definitely be a fierce battle.

Her expression remained unchanged as she said in a deep voice, "Cao Qinmo, long time no see. The grudge between you and me will be settled today."

Lan Wangji frowned slightly when he saw this. Although he didn't know Cao Qinmo, he knew from his aura that he was not an easy person to deal with.

He whispered to Yan Lili, "Madam, this person has extraordinary cultivation. We need to be careful in dealing with him."

Wei Wuxian was eager to try, and said with a smile: "Madam Lihua, Lan Zhan, although Cao Qinmo is arrogant, he is a good opportunity to test the power of our new treasures."

Cao Qinmo heard this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "You ignorant boy, how dare you speak nonsense in front of me? Today I will make sure you can never return."

After saying that, he waved the folding fan in his hand, and a black gas turned into a sharp sword and went straight to Yan Lili's face.

Yan Lili did not dare to be careless. She drew out the sword in her hand, which turned into a sword light and collided with the black air, making a loud noise.

Lan Wangji saw this and appeared beside Yan Lili. He waved the sword in his hand and sword energy circled around him like a dragon, neutralizing Cao Qinmo's attacks one by one.

Wei Wuxian played the flute horizontally, and the sound of the flute turned into invisible sound waves, attacking Cao Qinmo's mind directly.

Cao Qinmo's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that the three of them working together would be so powerful. He quickly circulated his spiritual power to resist the sonic attack.

Four men fought fiercely on the shore of the North Sea, with sword energy running rampant and sound waves surging, until the sky was dark and the waves were surging.

When the Zhou army saw their commander fighting the enemy, they all rushed forward to help, but were stopped by Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian. For a while, the two sides were engaged in a melee.

Yan Lili and Cao Qinmo were fighting hard. She knew in her heart that today's battle was not only about personal grudges, but also about the safety of Shang State.

Her swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and every sword strike carried the intention of killing.

Cao Qinmo became more and more shocked as the battle went on. He had not expected that although Yan Lili's cultivation was only at the Immortal Emperor level, he was completely unable to do anything to her. He had not expected that Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian were not ordinary people either.

He thought to himself, “If we don’t get rid of these three people today, they will become a big problem in the future.”

Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Cao Qinmo's eyes. He suddenly withdrew his attack, formed seals with his hands, and muttered something.
