Shitt.

 

"Aarrgghtt...!"

 

"What do you want?"

 

"Stop it! I'm just messing with you."

 

Bugh.

 

"Aarrgghtt!!!"

 

"Don't you dare bother me, because I don't like jokes!" Xiang Zhe said it coldly.

 

The young man chuckled softly as he got up from his seat. He moved closer to Xiang Zhe.

 

"Tsk! Don't take life so seriously. Remember, this is just a world full of games. Just live your life casually and jokingly so you don't grow old too quickly." His chirp unconsciously made Xiang Zhe glare sharply at the young man.

 

"Dare you insult me?"

 

The young man shook his head in fear.

 

While Xiang Zhe chose to leave the young man, it was only a few steps before the young man followed him from behind, interrupting Xiang Zhe's journey. It annoyed him and stopped his steps.

 

"Tsk! Why do you keep following me? There's no other way to get to your destination."

 

The young man shook his head. "I have no destination; I want to come with you!"

 

"Tsk! No! I don't want to! You'll only trouble me later. Get out of my way quickly!" He said as he brushed off the young man's shoulder, but soon followed Xiang Zhe behind him.

 

"Where are you going?"

 

Xiang Zhe ignored the young man's question. In the end, he let him follow him, and until he reached a lake crossing, he was again bothered by the state of the young man he had just met, who was exhausted. Forcing him to stop and wait for him to recover.

 

"Give me some water! I'm so thirsty!" He screamed as he leaned back weakly.

 

"I knew that you would only trouble me. You just stay here, and I'll go across myself."

 

The young man quickly got up from his seat while adjusting the cloak he wore, acting as if the fatigue had now disappeared. He stepped eagerly onto the small boat, pulling Xiang Zhe's wrist to get on the boat.

 

Along the way, Xiang Zhe stares intently at the young man, who is far above him. He didn't seem like an ordinary warrior; he was actually hesitant to bring the young man along with him. Moreover, this was related to his past, which not everyone could know, especially since he was a foreigner. He didn't know how the young man's character was, whether he was good or bad.

 

"Is my face so handsome that you keep looking at me without blinking?"

 

Suddenly, Xiang Zhe spat with a disgusted face. "How confident are you? I was thinking, Who are you? Why are you coming with me?" He asked.

 

"You're a nuisance!"

 

"You came with me; I don't know what your intentions were in following me. It's only natural for me to be curious about you; we don't know which people are good and which are bad." He quipped.

 

But immediately, the young man fell silent. Until the situation ended in silence, Xianv Zhe, who felt the silence, felt guilty about his question. He was afraid of hurting this young stranger's heart.

 

"I'm actually a teacher who was cast out by my students. They expelled me for one mistake!"

 

Xiang Zhe suddenly frowned. It was almost the same story as his, except he was kicked out by the entire town.

 

"What's your name?"

 

"Yuanying."

 

**

After two hours of crossing the vast lake, Xiang Zhe and Yuanying reached the other side of the lake at the foot of the forbidden valley. The two of them continued their journey, encountering an ancient and fragile bridge. Only this bridge is one of the main routes to get to the other side, where the valley of purity might be.

 

Halfway across, however, Xiang Zhe's bridge collapsed, causing him to fall into the deep valley below. Just as he was about to find a way down, Yuanying slipped down after Xiang Zhe.

 

Bugh.

Bugh.

 

"Aarrgghtt!!!"

 

"Where is this?" Yianying asked.

 

It was in the middle of a large rock, surrounded by a deep ravine. Those who were looking for a way out were instead surrounded by a horde of strange creatures that attacked the two of them. The troops of strange creatures moved to hit the strength of the two.

 

"Xiang Zhe, be careful; it looks like they are sucking human blood."

 

The swarm of strange creatures moved more and more. Xiang Zhe wielded his sword to fight against them but was unable to melt the strange creatures; instead, the strange creatures were about to move up the large rock they were standing on.

 

Xiang Zhe quickly utilized the fire dragon's stoic attack. They multiplied and became more and more ferocious, spitting saliva all over the place.

 

Yiangyang was almost hit by the dangerous liquid. But for him, Xiang Zhe swiftly pushed Yiangyang out of the way. The battle between the strange creatures was going on ferociously, and the dangerous poisonous attacks coming from the saliva increasingly filled the area of the venue.

 

It was difficult to break through the power of the dangerous demons. But the combination of Yuanying's and Xiang Zhe's strengths added a bit of useful energy to the fight against the swarm of ferocious creatures. It got to the point where the swarm became stronger and stronger as it slowly absorbed their blood until Xiang Zhe and Yuanying chose to levitate through the wall and run away from the swarm.

 

What they didn't realize was that their energies were apparently fused together. It can be inferred that their powers have one common element.

 

"Is this energy fused because of the power of the book? Because if it's from my own power, it's impossible. Only my descendants have ancestral powers that no one can match," he said.

 

Meanwhile, the young man ran over to him and urged Xiang Zhe to move away from this dangerous arena because the creature could still smell their presence.

 

"We should leave this cave immediately. I'm afraid that the longer we stay, the more energy they will absorb. That's the same as giving energy to that strange creature!"

 

"It seems that not far from this place, I saw a flash of light connecting the exit."

 

Xiang Zhe followed Yuanying out of the cave area through the light to lead the way out. And sure enough, he arrived in front of the cave, but there was only barren grassland. The swarm of creatures continued to chase the two of them, and with all his might, he ran through the bushes.

 

"There are only two choices. Die with those creatures, or do we die jumping off this cliff?"

 

Without thinking, Xiang Zhe pulled Yuanying's wrist and took her to free fall from a great height.

 

Bugh...

Bugh...

 

"It looks like we're stuck in a cave again," Yuanying said.

 

"I'm curious about the many caves here. Come with me; I'll find out what's inside this cave; is it the same as the last one?"

 

Yuanying stopped Xiang Zhe's action. "No! What if this cave also contains strange creatures like earlier? It's already drained enough of my energy."

 

"I want to find out something. Who knows, this cave may give me clues about my dark past. If you want to come with me, walk behind me, but if you don't want to wait here, I'll be right back!" He said it firmly.

 

"Xiang Zhe!!!

    The smell of herbs being boiled in an earthen container wafted through the cave through the stone walls. Beside the large container, a young man was busy sorting out the herbs while inserting one by one the leaves as listed in the recipe book in front of him. "Soon the potion will be finished; prepare to enjoy this delicious potion!" She screeched as she stirred the potion in the large container. "Call the damn insects here! I want them to deliver this potion immediately to the big cities!" He ordered the young man who was his assistant. It wasn't long before a swarm of insects arrived with their army. The insects drank the potion until they salivated, which was believed to be able to destroy others because of the poison contained in it. The potion was not just any potion; it was a poison concocted with dangerous ingredients. "Hahaha! Just wait until last night.

I am very confident that I will find a clue here," Xiang Zhe said very confidently. Yuanying and Xiang Zhe are now inside the third cave after overcoming various obstacles and uncovering a secret. Xiang Zhe confidently enters the cave along with Yaunying. They probe deeper into the area, but it's as quiet as they get.The pungent smell of stone stung their sense of smell, plus there was no lighting at all inside, making it a little difficult for them to find their way."It looks like this cave is uninhabited. Unlike the previous cave, which was full of strange creatures," Xiang Zhe said as he explored the area. While Yuanying chose to scatter to find her own way, she soon came across a room that she found unfamiliar. "Oh my! Xiang Zhe! Come here!" She screamed in a low but firm voice. Xiang Zhe quickly ran over to Yuanying. He squinted his eye

    Boomm...Traazz."What are you doing?" "Hahahaha! There you guys are; it looks like you two want to meet the same fate as that old man." The young man named Wueyang returned to Xiang Zhe and Yuanying along with his troops. The insects that Xiang Zhe destroyed came back to life and released a dangerous poison in their saliva. "Wueyang, what is your purpose in wiping out the entire sect that you locked up innocent grandpa Yhuxuan here? Let him go!" The young man smiled wryly as he looked at Xiang Zhe with a cynical gaze that held a grudge within it. "Even if I die, I won't let him go. After this, you two will be the victims of these insects." He screeched in a stern tone. The ember attack almost hit Wueyang, but unfortunately, the young man quickly dodged. The young man grabbed Xiang Zhe's wrist using the rope he was holding. This rope had power in it that could break his wrist right now. "There is no longer any meaning for you to live in the world. Your existence is no longer wan

    This morning was Xiang Zhe's last day in the cave. The two of them plan to resume their mission of uncovering their dark past today, but before leaving, Xiang Zhe plans to free Yhuxuan's grandfather first and then take him to his residence. For two hours, the two of them tried to free Yhuxuan's wrist hooks, but it seems that the hooks had energy resistance within them that originated from Wueyang, making them very difficult to break. But Xiang Zhe couldn't give up so easily; he still tried his best to help his grandfather. Even though he had to unite two Yuanying forces at once, he was still unable to break through the defense of the power of the infernal chain. "Aarrgghtt!!! The power has been sealed by Wueyang; it seems like it will be useless if we continue to force ourselves to open it." "Xiang Zhe, I think we should ask Wueyang to break this seal. Let's face all the risks together for Yhuxuan's grandfather!" He said it solemnly. But the grandfather immediately stopped Yu

    They buried Yhuxuan's grandfather's body in the valley beside the cave where Yhuxuan's grandfather was tortured. It was with a heavy heart that Xiang Zhe left the wet grave. The feeling of sadness is still painful at this moment, but the struggle begins now. He had to rise up to fulfill his father and grandfather's wishes after getting all the clues. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief coming out of the valley, they were suddenly attacked by a horde of strangers, causing a huge battle. Xiang Zhe was surprised by the presence of the strangers, but he was able to control the situation. The fight lasted for the first five rounds—not easy against fifty people at once. The battle for power came to a halt when one of the warriors made a sneaky move to absorb Xiang Zhe's energy, causing him to suddenly weaken. "Hahaha!!! Xiang Zhe, do you think you've won? You won't be able to escape me forever! For one thing, your strength won't be able to kill me." Liangyuan emphasized. He frowned in

    After a month of traveling, he had never forgotten the advice of his late grandfather Yhuxuan. Even though he had only just met Yhuxuan's grandfather, Xiang Zhe found the meeting to be extremely valuable because he was able to get a lot of information about his confusion. Xiang Zhe and Yuanying are now searching for the martial arts storehouse that his late father once founded. After a misunderstanding some time ago, Yuanying decided to leave her sect and follow Xiang Zhe on his travels, not caring about the curses and curses her father threw at her. Currently, they are in the valley of Yiangxe Village, which is the place that their grandfather told them about. Xiang Zhe also knew at a glance that this was the village where he grew up. "Twenty years I left this place, now it has changed a lot." "Is there no longer a sect in this village? I haven't felt any energy here so far," Yuanying chided. "Let's look deeper!" Xiang Zhe invited. Until they passed through the middle of the app

    A grand, sturdy and ancient building stands tall on the top of Qiangze Valley. The trees surrounding the building created a peaceful atmosphere with the cool air of unspoiled nature. It was so tranquil at the top of the valley that it was no wonder that his father had chosen this place as his hermitage, as it was the perfect place to meditate with nature. Xiang Zhe's admiration for the martial arts storehouse doesn't stop at just staring at it from a distance, but he looks closely at the architectural details of the building and the energy contained in it. Yuanying, on the other hand, had been walking around the martial arts warehouse while wandering around as if looking for someone. "It's quiet and peaceful. Not a single person has stopped by here, so where are the insects that claim to be the residents of the martial arts warehouse?" The words rang loudly in Xiang Zhe's ears, causing him to come to his senses. And sure enough, he hadn't seen any residents since he arrived. "But

But unfortunately, the scorpion continued to chase him, and strangely, it came with a large army. Yuanying, who had just arrived, was surprised to see that her bed was full of scorpions. He quickly caught up with Xiang Zhe to do his own safety precautions. "There's something wrong with those scorpions. It looks like they were sent by someone who deliberately wants to drive us out of this place," Xiang Zhe said. "But who, even the only one who knows about our existence is the insect demon?" "Is it possible that the foul insect demon told us?" Yuanying shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He quickly exterminated the scorpion. But instead of leaving, they became even more ferocious, she sighed heavily as she saw a swarm of scorpions approaching her an

However, as they delved deeper into their journey, they couldn't help but question the true nature of the power they sought and whether it was worth the sacrifices they were making.Sitting by the campfire one evening, the crackling flames casting flickering shadows on their faces, Xiang Zhe voiced his inner turmoil. "Yuanying, do you ever wonder if the power we seek is truly worth pursuing? Are we chasing after something that will ultimately bring us happiness and fulfillment, or are we merely chasing an illusion?"Yuanying furrowed her brow, her eyes reflecting the flickering firelight as she considered his words.

It had been a journey of discovery, growth, and profound transformation. Yet, as they gazed into the rippling waters, a question lingered in their minds: should they continue on this path, or was it time to turn back?Xiang Zhe broke the silence, his voice soft yet resolute.

But now, as we stand at this crossroads, I find myself wondering: should we continue forward, or is it time for us to return home?"Yuanying looked thoughtful, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

    Once upon a time in a quaint village nestled between majestic mountains and lush green valleys, lived two young individuals named Xiang Zhe and Yuanying. The village was serene, its peace often interrupted only by the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves. Both Xiang Zhe and Yuanying were known for their curiosity and determination. However, their understanding of strength was vastly different. Xiang Zhe believed that strength lay in physical power and skill, while Yuanying thought that true strength came from wisdom and compassion.One sunny morning, the village elders called for a meeting in the central square. The air was filled with anticipation as everyone gathered, eager to hear what the elders had to say. The eldest of them, a wise man with a long white beard named Elder Meng, stepped forward."Villagers," Elder Meng began, his voice steady and authoritative, "our village is under threat from a group of bandits who have been terrorizing neighboring villages.

Inside, a fabled artifact of immense power was said to be hidden. To obtain this artifact, Xiang Zhe would have to face the legendary creature guarding the warehouse.Xiang Zhe took a deep breath, feeling the adrenaline coursing through his veins. He had trained for years for this moment. With steadfast determination, he pushed the gate open.As Xiang Zhe stepped inside, the atmosphere within the warehouse felt silent and tense. In the center of the large room stood a towering stone statue. The statue depicted a dragon with scales that seemed almost lifelike. Xiang Zhe knew this was no ordinary statue.Cautiously, Xiang Zhe approached the statue. As he drew nearer, the statue's eyes suddenly glinted. A rumbling sound echoed, and the statue began to move.

His sharp eyes glowed with restrained fury. As one of the main disciples of the Yuntian Martial Arts School, he never forgot that dark night when the Beiyuan Sect attacked their martial arts warehouse. The assault claimed the lives of many fellow disciples and shattered the honor of his school.“The time has come,” Xiang Zhe murmured to himself. “Today, I will avenge everything.”He donned a black robe that blended seamlessly into the night. With determined steps, he moved toward the Beiyuan stronghold, relying on his martial arts skills to sneak in undetected. In his hand, a sword gleamed in the darkness, a sword inherited from his master who had perished in the attack.Upon reaching the entrance of the stronghold, Xiang Zhe confronted two guards.

They moved swiftly, wielding terrifying weapons, their faces obscured by mysterious masks.Apparently, these foreign warriors were mercenaries from the Bei Yuan sect, known for their brutality. They had long harbored a grudge against Xiang Zhe, desiring the total destruction of the wise leader who had long been a barrier to their evil ambitions.Among the warriors, one stood out—a tall, muscular man known as Zhang Feng, the leader of the Bei Yuan forces. He had eyes as sharp as an eagle's, and his smile was full of arrogance as he stepped forward.Meanwhile, in Xiang Zhe's palace, the atmosphere was tense as well.

The warehouse is filled with ancient books and historical weapons entrusted to her by her ancestors. However, the tranquility in the warehouse was disturbed when a new martial artist arrived in the small town where Yuanying resides.The new martial artist arrived mysteriously, without providing much explanation about his purpose or origin. Yuanying, who has a sharp instinct and is vigilant to any changes around her, immediately became suspicious of the presence of this martial artist.Yuanying's first suspicion arose when several valuable ancient books, including one owned by Xiang Zhe, a legendary martial artist, began to mysteriously disappear. Despite the warehouse being closely guarded by Yuanying, the new martial artist seemed to have the ability to come and go unnoticed.Yuanying began to piece together her thoughts.

    In a renowned martial arts sect high in the mountains, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, there were two very talented and dedicated disciples, Xiang Zhe and Yuanying. They were known as the brightest students in the sect, with exceptional martial arts skills and deep knowledge of the various martial arts manuals stored in the sect's repository.That morning, as usual, Xiang Zhe and Yuanying were training in the practice field behind the sect's main hall. The morning sunlight illuminated their faces full of spirit and determination. However, that day felt different; there was an unease hidden beneath their calm demeanor.After the training session ended, Xiang Zhe approached Yuanying with a serious expression. "Yuanying, we need to discuss something important. Let's go to the martial arts repository."Yuanying nodded, sensing the urgency in Xiang Zhe's voice. They both walked towards the martial arts repository located in the innermost part of the sect's complex, a place rare
