Wuhun: Desert Death on the left hand, the world on the right hand

"Those kids are so sensible and pitiful! Alas..." A deep voice sounded beside Bai Zhaoyun's ears, interrupting his thoughts. Bai Zhaoyun looked up blankly and saw that Nasus had stood beside him without him noticing, with a hint of pity and regret in his deep eyes.

“Nasus…” Bai Zhaoyun smiled bitterly, his tone full of helplessness and sorrow, “Yes, they are all good kids, but unfortunately…”

He felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought of the children's innocent smiles and their aspirations for the future.

They should have had a happy childhood and grown up carefree, but because of the brutality of the Holy Spirit Church, they lost their homes, their loved ones, and even their lives.

Nasus patted Bai Zhaoyun on the shoulder and comforted him softly: "You have done your best. There is no need to blame yourself. I will work with you to bring those evil spirit masters who have committed many evil deeds to justice and comfort those innocent souls."

“Nasus, thank you!” Bai Zhaoyun looked at him gratefully, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.

"However, since I have promised those kids, I will be the one to avenge them!"

Nasus nodded slightly, and then, as if he remembered something, he asked, "What are your plans next? Will you continue to stay here?"

Bai Zhaoyun pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No, I plan to go out and continue to train for a while to improve my strength. Only when I become stronger can I go to the Holy Spirit Church to avenge those kids! I am still too weak now."

Nasus pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something, frowned slightly, and asked, “By the way, what are you going to do with that Li San?”

Bai Zhaoyun replied calmly, "I have already conveyed Li San's matter to Bai Yun through my thoughts and informed him of his situation. Bai Yun meant for us to handle it ourselves."

Nasus nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then asked, "So how do you plan to deal with this guy?"

"How to deal with him?" Bai Zhaoyun's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he snorted coldly, "I plan to destroy his cultivation first, and then hand him over to Amu and the others, and let them decide how to deal with him."

Nasus pondered for a moment and asked, “Would it be too cruel to hand over a useless person to a group of children?”

Bai Zhaoyun shook his head and explained, “Nasus, you don’t know that although Li San’s cultivation has been destroyed, the crimes he committed against Amu and the others cannot be erased. I want them to witness with their own eyes that this accomplice who exterminated their village will eventually receive the punishment he deserves. Only in this way can the scars in their hearts be truly healed.”

Nasus nodded slightly in agreement, then asked, “But the oldest of them is only about 12 years old.”

"Indeed, they are still too young and their minds are not mature yet. I am worried that exposing them to the dark side too early will affect their growth."

Bai Zhaoyun pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to wait until they are 18 years old, then hand Li San over to them and let them decide how to deal with him."

Nasus nodded approvingly and said, "At 18 years old, time flies. When you leave the Secret Realm of Time and come back next time, Amu and the others will probably have grown up."

"Hmm?" Nasus' words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly striking Bai Zhaoyun's mind, and he suddenly realized a problem.

Yes, the flow of time in the secret realm of time is different from that in the outside world. When I come in next time, Amu and the others may have grown up, but what about me?

Thinking of this, Bai Zhaoyun frowned tightly and fell into deep thought.

Nasus was not surprised to see Bai Zhaoyun like this. He knew that whenever Bai Zhaoyun showed this expression, it meant that he was brewing some shocking idea in his mind.

He stood quietly by, waiting patiently for Bai Zhaoyun to wake up from his thoughts.

Time passed minute by minute, Bai Zhaoyun's brows were sometimes relaxed and sometimes furrowed, obviously weighing something.

After a while, Bai Zhaoyun finally woke up from his deep thoughts, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

“Nasus, I have an idea. Please help me think about it.” Bai Zhaoyun frowned slightly, and his tone was solemn. “After thinking about it, I feel that there is a huge hidden danger now.”

Nasus raised his eyebrows and motioned Bai Zhaoyun to continue.

"Now, Bai Yun has actually been exposed to the Holy Spirit Sect leader. He must have known that Bai Yun has a world as his martial soul. He must have seen all of this through Li San's memory."

“This is indeed a problem,” Nasus pondered. “Besides, won’t we recruit a million disciples in the future? It’s impossible for the Holy Spirit Church to be unaware of such a big move.”

"That's right. What I'm worried about is that the Holy Spirit Church will send spies to infiltrate Baiyun City to investigate our true strength." Bai Zhaoyun's tone was filled with worry. "Once they find out the details of Baiyun City, the consequences will be disastrous."

“Your worries are not without reason.” Nasus nodded in agreement. “The leader of the Holy Spirit Church is not a good man. He possesses the Three Lives Martial Soul, and especially the mysterious Devouring Martial Soul. Now that he has set his sights on Bai Yun, he will definitely not give up easily. The worst possible outcome is that he will try to use his Devouring Martial Soul to devour Bai Yun’s World Martial Soul. Once he succeeds, then…”

"Yes, that's what I'm worried about, so I decided to secretly train a group of absolutely loyal warriors to serve as the secret guardian of Baiyun Palace." Bai Zhaoyun's eyes flashed with determination, "We can go to Douluo Continent to find those helpless orphans, bring them back to Baiyun Realm, train them from a young age, instill the concept of loyalty in them, and teach them the practice methods of soul contract masters."

"In just ten days, they will be able to become the backbone of Baiyun Palace. What do you think?"

“That’s a good idea.” Nasus pondered for a moment, nodded approvingly, and added, “However, relying solely on the power of soul bond masters is not enough. We also need to cultivate some talents in other areas. My martial arts and your cultivation methods can both be passed on to those disciples.”

"Yes, that's fine." Bai Zhaoyun agreed, then frowned slightly, as if he had thought of a problem, "But, if I search alone, I won't have enough time."

Nasus followed Bai Zhaoyun's gaze and looked into the distance. Those young disciples were sparring and fighting in groups of three or four, their faces filled with youthful vitality.

“These disciples have all been tested by Elder Sang, Elder Zhu, and the Nine-Layered Illusionary Tower. They are absolutely trustworthy.” Bai Zhaoyun seemed to be talking to himself, but also to Nasus.

"In that case, let's give them some opportunities to gain experience. For those who have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation, let them travel around the continent and see the world. By the way..." At this point, Bai Zhaoyun paused, with a hint of sadness in his tone, "... also bring in some poor orphans."

Nasus understood Bai Zhaoyun's thoughts and sighed softly, "Recently, I've also discovered that these disciples are beginning to become restless. Come to think of it, it's true that asking them to stay in seclusion in the Secret Realm of Time for 20 to 30 years at a time is a bit difficult for them."

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you!" Bai Zhaoyun said, patting Nasus on the shoulder with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"You really deserve a beating when you look at Bai Zhaoyun's expression. Nasus shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Bai Zhaoyun put away his smile, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Next, I plan to go to the Holy Spirit Church to find out the bottom of the leader."

“What?!” Nasus was horrified. “Go to the Holy Spirit Church? No, that’s too dangerous! As the only person in the history of Douluo Continent who possesses the Three Lives Spirit, the leader’s strength is unfathomable and he may have already touched the edge of the god level!

As early as three years ago, I heard that he had just broken through the Titled Douluo realm and defeated and devoured the previous generation of Holy Spirit Master. To be able to defeat the previous generation of the Master, his strength must be at least level 98. Now that three years have passed, I estimate that he has become the number one person in Douluo Continent! "

“Don’t worry, I’m not stupid, and I’m not going to knock on your door directly.” Bai Zhaoyun waved his hand, signaling Nasus to stay calm, and said calmly, “I plan to join the Holy Spirit Church and become a saint for fun.”

“What?!” Nasus frowned, his tone full of worry and disapproval. “Zhaoyun, this is still too dangerous. If we keep wandering around in front of such a person, we will be discovered sooner or later. Let’s wait for Baiyun to come back and discuss it in detail.”

"How long will it take for Baiyun to come back? This time he went to talk about love with his sister Lina, and we don't know when he will be back."

Bai Zhaoyun shook his head helplessly. "As the head of the Intelligence Pavilion, this is what I should do. But don't worry, I will act carefully and plan well, and I won't act rashly."

"You..." Nasus wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Bai Zhaoyun with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, I'm going to go into seclusion first. I'll leave when I'm fully prepared and have some cards in my pocket to ensure that I won't die easily."
