Chapter 41: Chapter 40: The Storm Returns Again
The morning light from the valley shone through the clouds, illuminating the newly cleaned village. After experiencing the invasion of the Dark Night Cult, although the villagers were filled with fear and anxiety, they gradually regained hope under the leadership of Li Xuan, a group of young "wild wolves", Qingluan, and Fengchen.
We have to keep moving forward, "Li Xuan said to everyone before breakfast, leaning down to pick up a dry branch, the sawdust shimmering in the sunlight. The remnants of the Dark Night Cult may make a comeback at any time, and we cannot take it lightly
Where are we going next? "Asked Wang Qiang, a burly man from the village, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Li Xuan made proper arrangements and directed his goal towards the distant "Qingyun Town", which is a prosperous commercial town and several days away from here. If we can find shelter in Qingyun Town, perhaps we can better deal with the threat of the Dark Night Cult.
But we can't just escape, the Dark Night Sect will definitely make another move, "Qingluan continued, her voice flowing slowly into everyone's heart like a gentle stream. We need to look for opportunities to completely weaken their power
Do you have any plans? "Feng Chen frowned, lost in thought. Although we have a small victory, the power of the Dark Night Sect should not be underestimated. There are deeper forces behind them manipulating us
I have an idea, "Li Xuan took a deep breath and slowly revealed his inner plan." Along the way in Qingyun Town, we strive to accept more help, make some like-minded friends, and form a stronger resistance force. At the same time, we must always pay attention to the movements of the Dark Night Sect, grasp their trajectory, and be prepared for the future
This arrangement is good, "Qingluan nodded slightly." As long as we unite, we are not afraid of any strong enemies. I believe that as long as we have a firm belief, the enemy will eventually be defeated
So let's set off now? "Su Yao excitedly asked, her heart filled with fighting spirit from the incident just now, and her eyes sparkled with flames.
Yes, everyone be ready! "Li Xuan smiled and said, then the group set off towards" Qingyun Town ".
They walked through the woods, climbed over small hills, and gradually approached the outskirts of Qingyun Town. At this moment, Qingyun Town is shrouded in morning mist, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
Look, that's Qingyun Town over there! "Feng Chen excitedly pointed ahead, his eyes filled with anticipation.
The streets of Qingyun Town are clean and tidy, with numerous shops lining up. The sound of shouting and the laughter of people mix together, forming a prosperous picture. But Li Xuan felt a faint unease in his heart. The lingering influence of the Dark Night Sect had not dissipated, and their influence still lurked in this bustling town.
Let's split up and search for information, "Li Xuan fixed his mind." Qingluan, you and Fengchen will form a team to inquire about the movements of the Dark Night Sect; Su Yao and I will find a reliable force to rely on
Understood. "Qingluan smiled slightly, her gaze firm," I will be careful
You also need to be careful, "Li Xuan reminded, and then walked towards the center of the town with Su Yao.
The market town of Qingyun is bustling with activity. Li Xuan and Su Yao stroll through the streets and see various vendors selling fresh fruits, delicious snacks, and handicrafts. This kind of aura reminded Li Xuan of his long lost hometown, and his heart relaxed slightly.
Li Xuan, this place is so lively! "Su Yao smiled slightly, her curiosity reflecting the surrounding prosperity. I really want to taste those snacks
Don't worry, our task is not yet completed, "Li Xuan responded, but couldn't help but feel a hint of warmth in his heart.
They arrived at a restaurant called "Qingyun Fang" and looked at the plaque at the entrance. Li Xuan thought to himself that this might be a good place to gather information.
In the restaurant, they found a place near the window and ordered a pot of tea and a plate of Dim sum. Li Xuan slowly looked around, listening to the conversations of the people around him, trying to capture information related to the Dark Night Sect.
The people who teach at night are really ruthless. I heard they've been causing trouble nearby again these days, "an old man whispered at the table.
Yeah, I heard they're becoming more and more rampant, even in Qingyun Town as usual, "another middle-aged man echoed. A few days ago, someone saw disciples of the Dark Night Sect active outside the town, seemingly searching for something
Li Xuan and Su Yao immediately perked up their ears, paying attention to their conversation. If that's the case, the danger they face still exists.
We need to quickly tell Qingluan and the others about this news, "Su Yao said anxiously." They will definitely know how to handle it
At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the stairs, interrupting their conversation. Two black clad men walked up in a fierce manner, quickly scanning the entire restaurant until their gaze was fixed on Li Xuan and Su Yao.
Not good, it's the person taught by the dark night! "Su Yao's voice trembled slightly, her heart was startled, and her face turned pale.
Don't be afraid, stay calm, "Li Xuan comforted in a low voice, but understood in his heart that things were heading in a bad direction.
The black clothed man walked towards Li Xuan, and the customers around him stopped their work and watched the scene quietly, their faces full of fear.
Who are you? "One of the black clothed men asked coldly, with a fierce threat in his eyes." Why are you here to gather information about us
No, we didn't, "Li Xuan quickly responded, thinking to himself," If they discover our identity, the consequences would be unimaginable
No? But I have an ominous premonition, "another man in black walked up, a smirk playing on his lips. His breath was chilly, like a gust of cold wind.
I said you would pay the price for today's recklessness, "the man in black waved his hand, instantly suppressing the atmosphere around him, making people feel suffocated.
The alarm in Li Xuan's heart suddenly sounded. With a thought in his mind, he made a slight move and turned to Su Yao in a low voice, saying, "Let's go quickly, it's not safe here
However, how could the black clothed men allow them to easily escape and take action in an instant. Li Xuan reacted quickly and drew his sword in a flash, intending to force the black clothed man to relax his guard.
You guys give it a try! "Li Xuan's voice sounded like thunder, his demeanor like a raging wind. He must not let Su Yao fall into danger, and his heart was filled with the determination to overcome life and death.
Those who dare to resist will definitely have a bad ending! "The man in black coldly smiled, waved his long sword, and approached Li Xuan. The sword shone like a rainbow, mercilessly chopping down.
Looking for death! "Li Xuan shouted angrily, with a thought in his heart. The sword's momentum formed waves, intersecting with the blade's light. The intense collision sound echoed in the restaurant, causing people around to scream in shock.
Hurry up! "Li Xuan roared angrily and whispered," We can only fight
At this critical moment, Li Xuan used his sword to repel the attack of the black clothed man and instantly pulled out his leg to rush towards the outside of the building. Su Yao followed closely behind, anxious and afraid, but found courage in Li Xuan's steadfast beliefs.
Chase! "The black clothed man mercilessly followed up quickly, and the subordinates of the Dark Night Sect had no intention of stopping.
Ahead is a peaceful street, surrounded by the noisy sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling. Li Xuan and Su Yao, in panic and tension, desperately walked through. Unable to care about anything else, with only one thought in my heart - to escape the pursuit of the Dark Night Cult and seek a chance for rebirth.
Just as they were about to rush out of the restaurant, a gust of wind suddenly sounded behind them, and the figure of the black clothed man followed closely like a shadow, approaching in an instant. The long sword whistled towards Li Xuan, aiming straight at him.
Damn it! "Li Xuan was shocked. If this knife hit him, the consequences would be unimaginable. The opponent's sharp attack made him give it his all.
Li Xuan, pay attention! "Su Yao exclaimed, immediately turning around and rushing towards the black clothed man, trying to help him share the blow.
Don't! "Li Xuan shouted loudly, ignoring everything. He turned to his side and wielded his sword, which shone like silk with an infinite force, approaching the sword light in front of him.
With a loud bang, Li Xuan exerted all his strength and instantly pushed back the black clothed man who was chasing after him. But Li Xuan knew in his heart that such a confrontation could not last long, and the power of the Dark Night Sect was constantly approaching.
This way! "He whispered, taking Su Yao's hand and quickly turning towards a small alley, thinking to himself," We can't let them catch up, otherwise there's no hope of life or death
The alley was dark and damp, filled with weeds and dilapidated walls, but Li Xuan felt a hint of tranquility in his heart at this moment. He and Su Yao didn't care about anything else and continued to move forward quickly, trying to find a way out.
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the end of the alley. Li Xuan stopped for a moment, panting, but still full of vigilance in his heart. He turned his head, his eyes lit up like torches, his ears perked up, listening to the movements around him.
We... should be safe now, "Su Yao gasped for breath, feeling both fortunate and uneasy.
But we can't just stop like this, "Li Xuan gritted his teeth, his inner determination like the darkness of an abyss, difficult to shake easily. Even if the current crisis is saved, the Dark Night Sect ahead is still the enemy we must face
What should we do then? "Su Yao looked somewhat helpless, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Continue to search for information and make more companions, "Li Xuan replied with a firm gaze and a nod." Where there are enemies, there are opportunities. As long as they remain steadfast in their beliefs, they will eventually be defeated
At this moment, their hearts seem to be illuminated once again by faith. Faced with the impending storm, they choose to face it head-on and never back down.
Danger may still linger, but the trust between Li Xuan and Su Yao is deepening. The next journey is destined to be a wonderful journey of testing and hope intertwined with each other.
Let's go find Qingluan, "Li Xuan put away his nervousness, took Su Yao's hand, and resolutely walked towards another street in Qingyun Town. At this moment, their hearts are like clear mirrors and their swords are like wandering dragons, vowing to take the path of justice straight to the sky and continue to face future challenges without fear of any wind or rain that may come with it.
