Chapter 5: Chapter 5: The Storm Rises Again
As night falls, the earth is shrouded in silence. Only the moonlight on the mountain ridge still fell coldly, reflecting a shattered mess. Li Xuan and his companions cleaned up the aftermath of the battle, but their hearts became even more uneasy. The powerful aura of the enemy seems to be more than just the organization behind the black clothed men, they are more like an impending storm, enveloping this martial arts world.
I think we should find a safe place to temporarily avoid the limelight, "Su Yao's voice broke the tense atmosphere as she looked around with a hint of unease in her eyes." If this continues, we may attract more enemies
That's right, those black clothed people will never give up easily, "Feng Chen nodded with a serious expression." We'd better leave here
Yeah, the black clothed men are not ordinary people. We must find a way to find their weaknesses, "Li Xuan clenched his fist, unable to release the anger and unwillingness in his heart. He knew that in order to truly end this conflict, it was necessary to find the real mastermind behind it.
The crowd began searching for a suitable hiding place in the woods near the mountain ridge, and eventually found a hidden cave behind a rock. The cave is deep and dry, making it an ideal place for temporary shelter.
Rest here for a while, and set off at dawn. "Li Xuan opened the way ahead, and everyone supported each other as they walked into the cave. That night, their tired bodies were gradually engulfed by the dark tranquility.
Time flies, the sky is slightly clear, the morning mist in the mountains slowly dissipates, but in some corner at this moment, a hidden current surges. Just as their companions fell asleep, a dark shadow shot towards the cave like an arrow, agile and eerie.
Li Xuan suddenly woke up and saw the black shadow flash by, feeling a hint of unease in his heart. He listened attentively, as if hearing a whisper, pouring the faint voice into his ears.
Get out of here, leave immediately
Who? "Li Xuan widened his eyes and gestured to his companions to remain vigilant.
The figure reappeared, unexpectedly the white robed swordsman from yesterday. He slightly lifted the lower edge of his cloak, revealing a cold and stern face. The cave was instantly filled with a tense atmosphere.
Why are you here again? "Li Xuan asked warily," We have already repelled the black clothed man
The only ones who have been repelled are small fish and shrimp. Their true master is still in the dark, "the swordsman said solemnly, holding a long sword as if always prepared to deal with unexpected situations.
Who exactly are you and who asked you to warn us? "Feng Chen said discontentedly, his heart full of doubts about this mysterious swordsman.
My name is Qingluan, and I come from a secretive organization in the martial arts world that specializes in fighting against evil forces in secret. "The swordsman looked straight at Li Xuan with bright eyes," And this time the black clothed men are just part of a bigger conspiracy
Li Xuan was shocked and said frankly, "What do you want to say
Qingluan took a long breath and slowly exhaled, "Your fate will be closely intertwined with this conspiracy. The forces behind the black clothed men are actually a terrorist organization called the 'Shadowless Gate'. They disguise themselves in the darkness and have been committed to eliminating anyone who dares to resist them for many years.
Wuyingmen? "Li Xuan's face showed confusion, and then he remembered the crazy words of the leader last night." Are you saying that it was this kind of force that destroyed us
Yes, they want to seize everything in this land, and you cannot escape in this game, "Qingluan's voice was icy cold, but Liu Xuan faintly sensed the warning.
So, are you here to let us join you? "Su Yao frowned slightly, gradually becoming wary of the sudden swordsman." What exactly do you want
I came here hoping that you can live well, "Qingluan looked directly at Li Xuan, her eyes sparkling with some indescribable emotion." At the same time, I also want your help
Help? We can't even repel your main envoy, how can we join your team? "Feng Chen interrupted with a hint of disdain in his voice. Just as he was about to continue refuting, Li Xuan had already thought about it and said, "If they are really as you said, they must take action
Li Xuan, aren't you going to believe him? "Su Yao felt a little uneasy, but Li Xuan's eyes sparkled with a strange light.
I don't completely believe him, but what he said may involve the fundamental aspects of our survival, "Li Xuan turned around with a firm gaze." Qingluan, since the black clothed man is not dead, how do you plan to deal with him
Qingluan nodded slightly and spoke more calmly, "I need your cooperation to organize a counterattack and uncover the true purpose of the Shadowless Sect
Okay! I will fight with my companions! "Li Xuan said solemnly, secretly deciding in his heart that no matter what danger it is, he will protect the safety of his companions.
Qingluan's face showed a hint of relief, but then she furrowed her brows, as if she realized what a serious situation was. At this moment, a glimmer of dawn had already ignited in the sky, and the atmosphere in the cave gradually became solemn.
However, we must proceed with caution, "Qingluan reminded." The energy coverage of Shadowless Gate is extremely wide, and it may have been secretly monitoring our every move. We must try our best to conceal our actions
Li Xuan's heart trembled, full of vigilance, but also ignited with an excited fighting spirit.
How can I find this Shadowless Gate? "He asked.
I once hid in an abandoned temple, where the Shadowless Gate often frequented, "Qingluan said seriously," and they would often mobilize troops from there when night fell
We need to gather our forces and plan a surprise attack, "Li Xuan immediately began to ponder," but we must set off quickly before night falls
Then I'll go with you in this operation. I have a way to distract the enemy's attention, "Qingluan added, her gaze firm.
If that's the case, then give it your all! "Li Xuan boosted his morale and looked at his companions. Although they hesitate about unknown dangers, they also understand that only by working together can they have hope for survival.
With the long lost belief rising, Li Xuan decisively led his companions and began to formulate an action plan. They know that challenges are imminent and there are many difficulties. If they don't give it a try, how can they survive?
After some discussion, the team was able to cultivate cohesion. After preparation, Qingluan, wearing a cloak with a hint of concealment, led everyone towards the unfamiliar temple.
Passing through a desolate forest, the moonlight gradually faded away, with only shadows floating around. Li Xuan held a long knife in his hand, his heart as iron as stone, and his gaze never left his surroundings, especially in the hidden space where whispers were strong.
Finally, they stepped onto the abandoned temple and were greeted by several broken doors. The entire temple was mysterious and profound, as if hiding endless secrets.
This is one of the strongholds of the Shadowless Gate, "Qingluan looked around with a serious expression." We must be careful of sneaking around, any movement may be detected
Li Xuan nodded, his mood shifting, leading the team slowly forward. The temple was as dark as ink, and unknown dangers were hidden around. Every step is like stepping on the tip of a knife, ready to pierce through the silent night at any moment.
As everyone delved deeper, they finally discovered several black clothed men whispering in a side hall, seemingly discussing some important plan.
Quick, they are members of the Shadowless Gate! "Qingluan whispered, her eyes remaining calm and composed.
Li Xuan's heart trembled as he gritted his teeth and said, "We must know what they're talking about
Qingluan nodded and quickly moved forward. Li Xuan pulled his companions to the back, his eyes filled with unyielding faith as he approached step by step.
At this moment, Qingluan exhaled softly, her blade cutting through the night sky and swiftly attacking, unleashing a gust of wind and charging towards the black clothed man.
You don't have time to escape! "Li Xuan shouted angrily, then raised his sword and pounced. The aura of battle instantly spread, and the black clothed man responded in shock. The two swords collided, and a thunderous sound erupted.
The confrontation of this surprise attack instantly escalated, with sword light overflowing and sword light appearing. Li Xuan and Qing Luan joined hands to fight the enemy, while Su Yao and Feng Chen quickly reacted, trying to break the enemy with one blow.
These people are not weak in strength! "Qingluan caught a glimpse of a black clothed man in the corner of her eye, thinking to herself but never letting her guard down.
The black clothed men saw the situation was not good and fled one after another, but under Li Xuan's knife, they were all forced to pay a painful price.
Quickly, approach them and don't let them call out to their companions! "Qingluan quickly responded, commanding the crowd, and the atmosphere immediately became lively and tense.
The conflict was about to erupt, and even the thick darkness could not conceal the intense fighting. Between life and death, swords and knives intertwine, and the battle between justice and evil ignites in this moment.
A black clothed man fled in panic, and Li Xuan took advantage of the situation to chase after him. A tide of hatred surged in his heart, determined to knock them down one by one and find the true secret of the Shadowless Gate.
However, the battle did not end here. Just as Li Xuan was about to chase after the black clothed man, a loud and earth shaking roar suddenly came from deep within the temple.
Who dares to interfere in the affairs of Shadowless Gate! "The roar echoed like thunder, echoing in the silent night and creating a tense atmosphere.
I feel a strong breath! "Whispered Feng Chen, and an indescribable sense of oppression gradually permeated.
Li Xuan was alert in his heart and secretly speculated about this power from deep within. They must accelerate their actions and uncover the truth behind the Shadowless Gate in order to avoid being consumed by darkness.
Hurry up! We can't let them monitor our movements here! "Qingluan reminded again, flashing her sword light and running towards the direction of the black clothed man.
A whirlwind like battle unfolded in this abandoned temple, but Li Xuan knew in his heart that behind the battle, there was a bigger conspiracy waiting for them. With this storm following one after another, the chess game in the martial arts world is quietly changing. The storm is rising again, and the other shore is emerging. Fate will be tightly intertwined and difficult to escape...
