In the late night, in the secret chamber of the Cloud Alliance branch, the dim candlelight cast flickering shadows as Yunyi gently wiped the forehead and cheeks of Willow branches with a towel. The wind outside gently swayed the curtains, bringing a hint of coolness.
A look of pain crossed Willow branches' face, and suddenly she tightly grabbed Yunyi, her eyes wide with fear, gasping, "Quick, escape, Qingsong, quick, escape!"
"You demoness, I will kill you, kill you!" She seemed to be experiencing a terrifying ordeal in her dream, struggling constantly.
Yunyi's heart sank suddenly, Willow branches' words made him deeply uneasy. Qingsong was the youngest disciple he had received at Cloud Alliance, always clever and talented, he and Willow branches should not have had any interaction. How could Willow branches know Qingsong's name?
The sudden change made Yunyi realize the seriousness of the situation, and he was worried about what might have happened on the Cloud Alliance side.
Yunyi had originally planned to use encrypted envelopes to contact Cloud Alliance, but considering that his previous attempts to use regular channels were often intercepted by other Cloud Alliance members, he decided to use the exclusive communication method between him and Qingsong.
Yunyi quickly changed the object in his hand, and a simple token in the shape of a bamboo tube appeared out of thin air. He silently recited an incantation and lightly tossed the bamboo tube into the air, using a simple spatial teleportation spell. If Qingsong was in the Cloud Alliance, he should be able to sense it immediately and respond.
As time passed, Yunyi waited quietly for a response, but the surroundings remained silent, and this silence made his heart heavier and heavier.
Suddenly, there was a disturbance in the air, and the bamboo tube returned to Yunyi's hand at an imperceptible speed. He quickly opened the bamboo tube and saw a few lines of scribbled handwriting on the paper inside:
"Master, what happened? Is everything okay? Cloud Alliance Here, everything is safe and sound, no issues."
Upon seeing this message and confirming that it was written in the handwriting of Qingsong, Yunyi felt relieved, but still had a sense of unease deep down.
Yunyi frowned, feeling that the situation was not simple. He replied with a few words: "Be sure to stay alert, I will return to the alliance immediately."
After burning the letter in the bamboo tube and informing Xiao Jin of his whereabouts, Yunyi didn't stay any longer. His figure turned into a stream of light and swiftly flew towards the headquarters of the Cloud Alliance.
Under the night sky, his figure was like a shooting star across the sky, moving so fast that it was almost impossible to catch a glimpse of him.
Seven days later, he finally arrived at the headquarters of the Cloud Alliance and Yunyi went directly to find Qingsong. Seeing Qingsong safe and sound, he felt a little relieved. However, Yunyi still couldn't ignore Willow branches's unusual behavior and the things she said.
" Qingsong, recently, is there anything unusual happening in Cloud Alliance?" Yunyi asked directly.
Qingsong shook his head: "Master, everything is normal here in Cloud Alliance, and nothing unusual has happened."
Yunyi fell silent for a moment, then told Qingsong about the unusual situation with Willow branches, especially the part where she mentioned " Qingsong " and "run away".
After listening, Qingsong appeared very surprised: "Master, I have never met Willow branches, how could she know my name, let alone say such things?"
Yunyi frowned in thought, secretly considering that the abnormal behavior of the Willow branches might be related to the Necromancer baby, perhaps sensing an impending crisis. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked around, saying, " Qingsong, why haven't I seen your senior sister Purple Clouds?"
Qingsong replied, "Purple Clouds suddenly sensed that she was about to have a breakthrough, so she went into seclusion first."
Yunyi nodded and said, "Yes, considering the time, she should indeed be close to a breakthrough in her cultivation."
Yunyi When it's time to leave, I took a few more glances at the Qingsong.
Qingsong asked in confusion, "Master, what's wrong?"
Yunyi gently touched his nose: "It's nothing, Qingsong, I just suddenly feel that you have grown a lot, and become more steady." Yunyi smiled, with a hint of contentment and concern in his eyes.
Qingsong modestly lowered his head: "It's all thanks to Master's good teaching."
Yunyi patted Qingsong on the shoulder and said seriously, "When I'm not around, the safety of the Cloud Alliance headquarters is up to you. I have a feeling that we may be facing a big storm soon. We must be prepared."
Qingsong nodded, with a determined look in his eyes, "Master, rest assured, we will definitely protect the Cloud Alliance."
He decided to re-examine the situation of Willow branches to see if he could find any clues from her abnormality. So, he arranged for Qingsong and a few spiritualists to stay at the Cloud Alliance headquarters just in case, while he quickly returned to the branch to check on Willow branches's condition.
Yunyi gave a few more instructions to Qingsong and then hurriedly left to return to the Cloud Alliance branch to continue taking care of Willow branches. He felt uneasy and worried about what was about to happen.
Upon returning to the Cloud Alliance branch, Yunyi found Willow branches still in a coma, but her face no longer showed a painful expression, instead occasionally revealing a look of fear and struggle.
Yunyi sat by her bedside, gently placing her hand on her forehead, softly chanting a spell, attempting to enter her consciousness and find the root of the problem.
His consciousness gradually seeped into the depths of Willow branches's soul, where it was filled with a chaotic and fearful atmosphere. Yunyi felt as if he were in a dark dream, with blurry surroundings, but he could faintly sense a powerful dark force lurking nearby.
Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared in Yunyi's sight. It was a woman in a black robe, her face indistinct, but Yunyi could feel the threatening and evil aura emanating from her.
"Who are you?" Yunyi asked in the depths of his consciousness, trying to communicate with the woman in black robes.
The woman did not answer, just stared quietly at Yunyi. Her eyes shimmered with ominous red light, seemingly hiding endless secrets and resentment. She slowly raised her hand, pointing at Yunyi, and her lips moved slightly. Although there was no sound, Yunyi seemed to hear her saying, "We will meet soon."
Then, her figure gradually dissipated into the dense black mist, leaving Yunyi pondering in place. Everything was so real, yet elusive like a dream.
Yunyi opened his eyes and emerged from the depths of Willow branches' consciousness. He took a deep breath, filled with confusion and worry. Who was this mysterious woman in black robes? What connection did she have to Willow branches, and even the crisis facing the entire Cloud Alliance?
When the night is quiet, Yunyi is lost in thought. He begins to look back on the various experiences with Willow branches, Qingsong, and Cloud Alliance, trying to find clues in these memories to unravel the current dilemma.
At that moment, Willow branches suddenly grips Yunyi's hand, slowly opens her eyes, and her gaze is filled with fear and confusion: "Yunyi, I dreamt of many dark shadows chasing me, and... there was a woman, her eyes were so terrifying..."
Yunyi was shaken and asked urgently, " Willow branches, do you remember any distinctive features of that woman? What did she say to you?"
Willow branches tried hard to remember, trembling as she said, "She didn't speak directly to me, but her eyes... they seemed like they could devour everything. I felt like she was looking for something, maybe... maybe she was looking for me..."
Yunyi's expression became extremely serious, and he became more and more convinced that the dream of Willow branches was somehow connected to the crisis they were currently facing.
He took a deep breath and decided that he must take action, not only to protect Willow branches, but also to uncover the truth behind it all.
So, in the days that followed, Yunyi not only strengthened the protection of the Willow branches but also began secretly investigating the origins of these mysterious dark figures and the terrifying woman. All of this unfolded quietly amidst an undercurrent, and Yunyi knew they might be facing an unprecedented and enormous threat.
