I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 145 Yes Yes Yes

Your sister!

As night deepened and dews grew heavy, the "old man," carrying the mischievous girl on his back, only wanted to slap himself hard across the face for what he had done three hours earlier.

Behind him, a pack of green-eyed wolves had somehow appeared.

In the past, they would have been nothing more than a bunch of beasts, whom he could have easily dealt with with a single palm strike.

However, at this moment, unable to use his internal energy, not only was it difficult to subdue the pack of wolves, but even how to escape from their jaws had become a thorny problem!

Now he not only has to save his own life, but also has to carry the girl with a persistent high fever on his back as he runs on the brink of death.

How could he have believed this girl and actually followed her alone to find the so-called "army of the undead"?

If time could turn back, he would definitely shake himself awake from his delusional state.

With one being a cripple unable to circulate his internal energy due to severe poisoning and the other a sickly man whose dantian was shattered and who knew no martial arts, what could the people following Tianshan possibly do, even if they found the army of immortals?

It's just a matter of dying sooner or later!

—Three hours ago—

"Those two have already gone far away, and they may not even return to save their master, the Lord of Tianshan. So how can you find the army of the undead they spoke of?"

"They will definitely go to rescue their master!"

During the ancient war to defend the country, Dongshan Pass was one of the first cities to fall to the army of the Undead. Shen Tianbao's family members all perished at the hands of the Undead, and the members of Changchang Escort Agency all had similar experiences to him to varying degrees.

As soon as Shi Mo spoke, everyone from Changchang Escort Agency changed their expressions drastically, and not a single person dared to respond.

Seeing the fear in everyone's eyes, and seemingly anticipating that no one would dare to go with her to rescue the person, Shi Mo left the dilapidated temple with the words "a bunch of cowards" and helped the crazed swordsman away.

At this moment, Fei Xi said that Shi Mo and the other person would definitely go to save people. Although the old man was surprised, he could not find any reason to refute her in her firm eyes.

“The people of the Eight Great Families can never betray the Lord of Tianshan.” As if remembering something, Fei Xi lowered her head, a trace of sadness in her eyes, and murmured to herself as she added the sentence.

Her eyes, now clear as she looked up, gazed intently at the old woman and said earnestly:

“I left a trace of pollen on Sister Shimo. As long as we follow the trail of these black and gold butterflies, we will surely catch up with them and find the army of the undead.”

As Fei Xi spoke, she took a bamboo jar from the peregrine falcon's claw on her left shoulder.

As soon as you twist it open, three golden butterflies, each about half the size of your palm, fly out.

As soon as the little butterfly flew out of the sealed bamboo jar, it wobbled and swayed from side to side.

However, not long after, they seemed to have found their way, and all three of them slowly flew in the same direction.

"Wait!"

The old man stopped Fei Xi, who wanted to follow the butterfly, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.

"You want to save someone? Why didn't you mention it in the temple before, but now you're secretly and furtively following someone?"

"Let's go, let's go! The little butterfly is almost gone. If we don't catch up soon, it will be too late. Besides, I'm not sneaking around like a ghost. Grandpa, we're here. Let's walk and chat."

Speaking in a coquettish tone, Fei Xi, like a little rascal, grabbed the hand that was blocking her from leaving and dragged the old man forward without saying a word.

Seeing that the old man did not struggle but obediently followed, they realized that he had not broken free.

A sly smile crept across the little rascal's face, barely concealing his joy and smugness.

Her appearance both amused and exasperated the old man.

"Let go! You've almost torn my clothes to shreds, you scoundrel!"

"Out with the old, in with the new. Grandpa, you don't need to be so polite with Fei Xi's kind gesture."

"Stop with the glib talk. It's not impossible for me to accompany you on this trip, but first, answer a few questions truthfully."

“Huh? Fei Xi always answers any question the old man wants to know.”

The sincere eyes, blinking gently, seemed to say, "Ask away if you dare," and the old man felt an itch to touch them.

The next second, Fei Xi covered her forehead and squatted down, her lips slightly drooping, looking aggrieved.

The old man coughed lightly, answering all questions but not promising to tell the truth. He had a feeling the girl was trying to fool him, but he asked anyway.

"You left without saying goodbye, were you wary of the people in the dilapidated temple?"

"Correct."

"A bunch of cowards who're too scared to move at the mere mention of an army of undead, they pose no threat to you. With such a burden around, it'll be difficult for you to travel with Shen. Hmm? Are you wary of your junior brother?"

"Correct."

"What's wrong with your junior brother? Could it be that his appearance here wasn't a coincidence but intentional?"

"Correct."

"...You're just matching mice? All you can do is match mice."

What is a pair of mice?

"Hmph, young man!" The old man seemed to have thought of something, so he didn't continue to ask and changed the subject.

"How do you know that destroying that killing robot will stop the natural disaster?"

"It was the person who built the temple who told me this."

"Well, why?"

“When I was treating the heroes of Changchang Escort Agency, I heard them say that after discovering such a strange statue in the temple, Brother Shen ordered them to find clues to investigate the origin of the temple.”

"They only found out about this temple, which was built by people who lived here a thousand years ago."

"The records found in the temple say that at that time, only this robot was not affected by natural disasters. So the people living here regarded it as an auspicious sign and specially built a temple to worship it."

"However, later a very clever person said that before the statue appeared, the sea valley had never experienced an earthquake."

"Since the appearance of idols, natural disasters have been frequent. These idols are not auspicious omens, but rather the source of all kinds of calamities; they are truly a scourge!"

"Perhaps back then, someone accidentally activated the 'Statue of God'. The statue attacked and killed people on its own, just like we encountered before. The local residents were helpless against the statue, and they only managed to gather a few personal belongings before hastily fleeing Linhai Valley."

"Grandpa, do you still remember the place you took me to when the earth dragon first turned over, and the earthenware bowl you used to feed me water? I guess it was probably left behind by the people when they left in a hurry. The environment in Linhai Valley is harsh and resources are scarce. Unless there was an unexpected situation, those people would not have left behind such precious items."

“I heard you say, Grandpa, that robots act upon receiving certain instructions. At the time, I thought that perhaps this robot was sent out to do work because it received instructions. However, it failed to return due to some accident. When Zhao Yi first saw the robot, he was as shocked as we were, but he knew how to start the robot. This means that he had seen the robot before, and he may have even touched it himself.”

"This reminds me of something I once heard. Some say that deep in the desert beyond Lin Hai Valley, there is a secret headquarters of Tiangong Fortress. If the red light can shoot out a gust of wind to kill people, then it is not impossible that the secret headquarters has the power to cause the earth to shake. Perhaps, each time the killing robots briefly recover, it is to make contact with the secret headquarters. And that secret headquarters, for some reason, releases a kind of energy that causes the Lin Hai Valley to suffer one natural disaster after another."

"So I surmised that if the robots were destroyed and their connection to headquarters severed, the natural disaster would stop."
