Chapter 43: Chapter 42: Going Upstream Against the Current
The night grew deeper and deeper, with moonlight falling through the clouds and casting its shadow on the rugged mountain paths around, faintly revealing a hint of gloom. Li Xuan, Qingluan, Fengchen, and Su Yao quietly approached the stronghold of the Dark Night Sect, and the tense atmosphere permeated the air, as if even the wind had become suppressed.
How can we infiltrate here? "Qingluan asked in a low voice, her gaze piercing through the bushes, attempting to explore the layout of the Dark Night Sect.
There are many people in the Dark Night Sect, and I have seen at least ten guards. In fact, their strength is not limited to this. "Li Xuan lowered his voice and tried to think about a feasible plan. He knew in his heart that sneaking in didn't mean easily achieving his goals, but rather the beginning of a new challenge.
What should we do then? "Su Yao appeared slightly nervous and clenched her fists tightly. She has always been timid, but when faced with the threat of the Dark Night Cult, that timidity in her heart gradually gave way to another kind of courage.
We can act separately, "Feng Chen suddenly said, his eyes firm." We can attack their attention from different directions. Qingluan and I will lead the guards away, and you and Su Yao will be responsible for finding important clues
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment. This idea was indeed a good one, but he also had some concerns in his heart. It would be too dangerous to separate like this, what if
It's okay, Brother Xuan, I will protect Yao Yao. "Feng Chen stared at Li Xuan seriously, watching his slightly wavering expression, and was also excited to some extent by this sense of responsibility.
Li Xuan looked at Feng Chen's resolute expression, and the shadow of the cult and the heavy pressure of fate made him feel a tightness in his heart. Okay, but be careful. We must meet at the agreed time and place
The four of them gazed at each other, understanding in their hearts that this was not only a trust in each other, but also a determination for some unknown challenge in the future. So they quickly formulated a plan, communicated the agreed signals in the darkness, and then set out towards their respective goals with worries and hopes.
Li Xuan and Su Yao quietly hid their figures and headed straight towards the entrance of the stronghold. The faint whispers in the distance made Li Xuan slightly nervous, and his heart secretly quickened its pace.
Sweet air flows, you dance gracefully in the dark night. "Suddenly, a gentle moan like peach blossoms came to my ear. Under a huge tree in front of me stood a masked girl, seemingly with ill intentions.
Who are you? "Li Xuan immediately became alert and quickly protected Su Yao.
You have chosen the wrong direction, "the masked girl smiled calmly, her eyes sparkling with an inexplicable radiance." Perhaps I can help you and give you other answers
Su Yao nervously held Li Xuan's hand, feeling a bit afraid of the sudden appearance of this person. Li Xuan calmly looked at her, faintly feeling that this woman was not simple. Are you a member of the Dark Night Sect
I have my purpose. My name doesn't matter, but if you want to survive, you should listen to me. "Her voice flowed like fine water, gentle yet controlling the atmosphere around her.
Li Xuan furrowed his brow slightly, feeling wary, but he didn't want to directly offend this mysterious woman. Just as he was hesitating whether to further inquire, the masked girl waved her hand to signal them to follow.
Come with me quickly, it's too dangerous there, there's no time left. "She kept looking back, as if alert to something.
Li Xuan's heart trembled as he listened to her voice. At this moment of great danger, he seemed to have an extra impulse and curiosity, and decided to follow her with skepticism.
In the hurried night, they quickly passed by a small path. Li Xuan looked at Su Yao beside him and wanted to tell her how to deal with it, but at this moment, he had no way back in his heart. In the whispered conversation gradually coming from behind, members of the Dark Night Sect fought to the death to obtain some intelligence, while the masked woman in front of them seemed like a living barrier, guiding them towards the unknown abyss.
After a period of time, the masked girl finally stopped walking. Right here, you guys hide first. I'll help you distract their attention
Who are you exactly? "Li Xuan asked seriously. He had many doubts in his heart and dared not relax his vigilance at all.
I don't have time to explain to you, but in the end, I just want to tell you that the leader of the Dark Night Sect is cunning and has obtained that ancient treasure that can destroy countless people, "she said softly, with a hint of urgency in her tone.
We also know the importance of treasures. "Li Xuan seemed to have grasped the key, but his ever vigilant heart did not loosen at all.
At this moment, suddenly from a distance came the shouting of members of the Dark Night Sect, and several of them had particularly sharp voices, indicating that they had noticed the anomaly.
Hurry up! "Came a sharp voice, and the masked girl turned to Li Xuan with force and urgency," I'll lead them away, you guys give up here immediately
The tacit understanding between Li Xuan and the other four has already formed, and taking action before this is undoubtedly a huge test. He always felt that the mysterious ship was about to sail upstream in the dark tide, and the unknown front was waiting for them to explore.
The dark alleyway was instantly filled with shouting and chaos. Li Xuan took a deep breath and said to Su Yao, "We must quickly find that ancient treasure
At this moment, Feng Chen and Qing Luan are persevering in their own way. The two of them could still hear the conversation of several black clothed believers while sneaking around, indicating that they had entered the dense encirclement of the Dark Night Sect.
That is an extremely important thing. The leader has ordered that any suspicious person be immediately killed! "One of them spoke in a low and powerful voice.
Of course, I am already prepared to protect it well, "the other person replied, with confidence in their voice, as if they were extremely confident in the orders that the leader was about to give.
We must prepare in advance and not delay the time. "A black clothed believer appeared extremely anxious, and the danger released by the flash of light in his eyes made Qingluan and Fengchen's hearts tighten. They secretly began to ponder how to deal with the sudden attack.
Let's go, we'll find a chance! "Qingluan firmly grasped Feng Chen's hand, her eyes sparkling with a determined light, as if they had formed an invisible consensus at this moment. Even if the relentless threat of the dark night comes repeatedly, justice will ultimately breed in the depths of the soul.
They took advantage of the darkness to gradually approach the inner circle of the Dark Night Sect, their bodies pounding like giant waves. Feng Chen was immersed in unease, but at this moment he could better understand Qingluan's firm belief, and his courage was awakened in an instant.
Let's challenge everything together! "Feng Chen launched an attack with Qingluan, approaching the few black clothed men. The conflict at this moment is like a burst of stars in the dark night, sparkling brilliantly, with a strong light shining brightly at the brief intersection of this undercurrent.
As Feng Chen and Qing Luan marched forward, the followers of the Dark Night Cult retaliated without hesitation. With just one strike, Feng Chen fiercely repelled the black clothed man on the left. Their attacks were swift and fierce, with intertwined bodies and blood splattered everywhere, like heroic confrontations on the battlefield.
Quick retreat! "Qingluan quickly retreated to protect herself, but at this moment, there was no space left behind for her, instead, the dark night believers around her rushed in and surrounded her.
Be careful! "Feng Chen felt a pain in his heart and flew towards Qingluan.
Fengchen! "Qingluan was horrified and quickly adjusted her body. With a backhand strike, she cleared several encirclements that appeared, and a wave of courage surged in her heart." I'm fine, we must leave quickly
A voice like a tide surged in my ears, and courage and perseverance converged at this moment. Even when swimming upstream in the darkness, there will still be twinkling stars of hope.
This battle was not as simple as imagined, it was like a symphony in the darkness, suddenly turning. Li Xuan and Su Yaoshang are searching for the possibility of ancient artifacts, while Qingluan and Fengchen are also making every effort to break through their respective encirclement. Even though the end of the tunnel was filled with unknowns, their beliefs were undoubtedly strengthened through constant challenges. What they are facing is not only the power of the Dark Night Cult, but also the choices deep in their lives.
Li Xuan and Su Yao, shrouded in the seemingly protective veil of the masked girl, inadvertently touched upon the core secret of the Dark Night Sect. With only a few breaths left for the two, Li Xuan carefully pondered the tense emotions. And just as he was concentrating and preparing to find the right moment, lightning fast footsteps could once again be heard in his ears.
Hurry up, hurry up! "Su Yao urgently reminded, her expression slightly flustered.
Anyway, we must uncover the truth. "Li Xuan clenched his fists tightly, realizing that the challenge was getting bigger, but they did not choose to back down.
Did you hear that? There's movement! "A black clothed believer seemed to notice their location.
At this rapidly changing moment, Li Xuan adjusted himself again and decided to use all his strength to cope with the challenging upstream situation. In this tunnel constantly filled with darkness, everything seems unknown, even thoughts about life and death are surging in this vortex.
A battle without gunpowder is about to unfold. This is not only a struggle between life and death, but also a struggle of faith deep in each other's souls. In this current, what they will contribute will be a fearless challenge and pursuit of fate.
