The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

Chapter 478

So, in the expectation of everyone, the four knights began an in-depth investigation. They visited businesses, asked people, and collected clues. As time went by, a secret about the hiding place of the ghost thief gradually surfaced.

Finally, on a moonless night, they came to a hidden cave. The lights in the cave were dim and people could be vaguely seen moving around. It was the lair of the ghost thieves.

"Are you ready? This time, we will end it all once and for all." Ren Xiaoyao said in a low voice, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Without further ado, the three of them nodded and exchanged glances in tacit understanding. That was the trust and determination that only existed between partners fighting side by side.

Following the order, they rushed into the cave like arrows, and a battle between good and evil began. After this battle, what awaits them will be the cheers and praises of the people of Yunyin Town, as well as more unknown challenges and adventures.

"For justice and peace, we move forward fearlessly." This was their common voice at that moment, and also the most moving oath they left to the world.

Inside the cave, it was dark and damp, with an ominous silence echoing, with only the sound of dripping water and the footsteps of the knights intertwined. Suddenly, a black shadow passed by, like a ghost in the night, and rushed straight towards Shen Muyun who was walking in front.

"Come on!" Shen Muyun shouted in a low voice, and his body turned lightly. The long sword was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword flashed coldly in the light of the fire, pointing directly at the throat of the black shadow.

The shadow was startled and took several steps back. It turned out to be a masked man with a sinister face and agile movements. He held a pair of short daggers in his hands, flashing with cold light, and his eyes were full of provocation. "Humph, another group of ignorant guys, you want to be heroes? Ask the knife in my hand first!"

"Hand over the Ghost Thief and I will spare your life." Li Xiaoyun's voice was cold. He had a sword in his hand and exuded an unquestionable aura.

"Dream on!" The masked man laughed strangely, jumped up suddenly, and the dagger came out like a poisonous snake out of a hole, aiming straight at Li Xiaoyun's vitals.

The battle broke out instantly, with swords and sabers crisscrossing and clanging. Liu Piaoxue and Ren Xiaoyao also faced the enemy separately, and the four of them cooperated tacitly. Every move and every style revealed their profound martial arts skills and seamless teamwork.

During the fierce battle, Liu Piaoxue suddenly felt a strong wind behind her, and saw a bandit holding an iron rod, fiercely hitting her. She tapped her toes lightly, and her body moved like a floating step, skillfully avoiding it. At the same time, the long sword in her hand turned into a silver streak, hitting the opponent's wrist directly, and the iron rod fell to the ground.

"Miss Liu, you have a great swordsmanship!" Ren Xiaoyao smiled approvingly, then turned around and used the move "Flowing Clouds" to entangle the other bandit and subdue him.

The battle continued, and the bandits gradually lost their strength, but their leader, the real Ghost Bandit, never showed up. Just when everyone thought they had won, a cold laugh came from deep in the cave, shaking the surrounding stone walls.

"Haha, it's interesting that I can get here. But it's time to end the game."

As the words fell, countless torches suddenly lit up in the cave, reflecting a figure wearing a ghost mask and emitting a gloomy aura. The ghost thief finally appeared!

"You are the Ghost Thief?" Li Xiaoyun stepped forward, the tip of his sword pointed directly at the other party, his eyes burning with rage, "Die, and pay the price for your sins!"

"Oh? Really?" The Ghost Thief sneered and slowly took off his mask, revealing a familiar and hideous face. He turned out to be a businessman in the town. "You so-called knights will never understand the true taste of power and money."

"You, you are actually..." Shen Muyun was shocked, but more angry.

"Yes, it's me. Now, let me show you what real power is!" The Ghost Thief suddenly burst out with powerful internal force, and the entire cave seemed to be shaking.

Faced with this sudden change, the four of them quickly adjusted their formation, standing back to back, their eyes conveying trust and determination without words.

"No matter who he is, today, we must eradicate the source of this evil!" Liu Piaoxue said firmly, her sword shining even brighter in the firelight.

"Let's go together!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted, and rushed towards the Ghost Thief first, followed by the other three. At this moment, the final battle between justice and evil was fiercely staged...

Behind this life-and-death contest, the people of Yunyin Town are eagerly waiting for the heroes to triumph and for the light of justice to illuminate this land shrouded in shadows again. The inner strength of the Ghost Shadow Thief is like a violent storm, rolling up waves of air, and the torches on the cave wall are swaying, as if even the light is distorted by this force. Shen Muyun, Li Xiaoyun, Liu Piaoxue and Ren Xiaoyao, despite facing a powerful enemy, have no fear in their eyes. Their years of tacit understanding and practice have condensed into a force that cannot be underestimated at this moment.

"Although you have power and money, you have lost your original intention!" Li Xiaoyun's words were loud and clear. His swordsmanship became more fierce. Every time he swung his sword, there was a sound of breaking wind, trying to find the flaw of the Ghost Thief.

"My true intention? Haha, that's an excuse for the weak!" The Ghost Thief looked down on me. His figure transformed into multiple afterimages. Each flash was accompanied by a fatal attack, but the four of them resolved them one by one with their perfect coordination.

Liu Piaoxue dances with her sword like a weaving. Her sword skills are light and graceful, yet extremely sharp. They complement the strength of Shen Muyun, the calmness of Li Xiaoyun, and the agility of Ren Xiaoyao, forming a breathtaking battle picture.

"You can't escape!" Ren Xiaoyao used "Xiaoyaoyou" and his body was like a phantom, going behind the Ghost Thief and forming a pincer attack with Shen Muyun in front of him.

Just as the battle was at a stalemate, Shen Muyun's mind moved. He suddenly remembered an old legend he had heard in the town, about an ancient mechanism hidden deep in the cave that could use the power of nature to fight against evil spirits. He quickly spread the word among the team: "Use the cave to lure him into the game!"

The other three immediately understood what was said, and they began to consciously lead the battle deeper into the cave. The Ghost Thief was so overwhelmed by anger and confidence that he didn't realize that he had stepped into a trap step by step.

"Hmph, just a trifle!" Although the Ghost Thief was aware of it, he was still relentless in pursuit, confident of his superior strength.

Finally, they came to a spacious stone chamber, with ancient spells carved all over the walls and a strange stone platform in the center. Shen Muyun and others quickly dispersed, occupying the four corners of the stone chamber and activating the mechanism on the stone platform at the same time.

"Open!" With Shen Muyun's order, the stone chamber began to vibrate, and the talismans on the four walls emitted a faint blue light, gathering on the stone platform, forming a powerful energy wave.

Seeing this, the Ghost Thief's face changed drastically, and he wanted to retreat, but it was too late. A powerful natural force gushed out from the stone platform, forming a huge vortex that firmly bound him.

"Impossible! I won't lose to you!" The Ghost Thief struggled, but the force became stronger and stronger, gradually eroding his internal strength.

"Everyone must be responsible for their own choices." Shen Muyun said in a firm tone. He and his companions gathered around, ready to give the Ghost Thief the final blow.

"Ahem, ahem, you win..." The Ghost Thief's voice became weak, and a trace of regret appeared on his face under the mask. "I hope my ending will make you understand that true power comes from the light within."

After saying this, he closed his eyes, and his body was completely swallowed up by the power, leaving only a slight echo that lingered in the cave for a long time.

After the battle, the four looked at each other, their eyes showing both the joy of victory and a deep reflection on the complex side of human nature. When they walked out of the cave, they were greeted by the warm applause and grateful eyes of the people in Yunyin Town. The light of justice once again illuminated this land, and they will continue to embark on a new journey to protect more peace.

"Although we are wanderers, we have no regrets about what we do." Shen Muyun said with emotion, his eyes sweeping over each of his companions, full of trust and pride.

Li Xiaoyun patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Brothers are united and their strength is invincible. Today's battle is also a test and baptism for us."

Liu Piaoxue put away her sword, with a rare tenderness on her face: "The world is dangerous, there are always people who have to stand up. We are just doing our little bit."

Ren Xiaoyao was carefree and said with a smile: "Who cares about the monsters and ghosts? As long as we have wine and friends, we are the martial arts world. Let's go, we won't go home until we are drunk today!"

The four of them smiled at each other and stepped out of the cave. Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, their backs looked particularly tall. In the crowd of Yunyin Town, the children looked at these heroes curiously, their eyes full of admiration; the elders nodded in approval, knowing that this peace was hard-won.

"Master Shen, what are your plans for the future?" asked a white-haired old man in the crowd. He was the elder of Yunyin Town and witnessed everything that happened today.

Shen Muyun turned around and smiled calmly: "The road ahead is long. We still have many places we have not set foot on and many injustices waiting to be resolved. But please rest assured, as long as Yunyin Town needs us, we will definitely come back."

After that, the four of them, each with their own thoughts, tacitly took steps and headed towards the unknown distance. Their stories will become legends in the mouths of future generations, inspiring generations of people in the arena to move forward bravely for the justice and light in their hearts.

Because of their existence, Yunyin Town has gained a legendary color. The moonlight that night was particularly bright, as if it was also crowning this beautiful story. In this way, the story has been given eternal life through people's recitation.

As night fell quietly, the four of them found a hidden camp in the forest. The bonfire lit up, illuminating their tired but determined faces. Shen Muyun took out a wine flask from his bag and handed it to each of his companions in turn. The aroma of wine filled the air, seemingly temporarily dispelling the day's fatigue.

"Today's battle is all thanks to you." Shen Muyun raised his glass, a hint of barely perceptible worry flashing in his eyes, "But the Black Lotus Sect has not been eradicated, and its dark forces are still stirring."

Li Xiaoyun took a sip of the liquor, his expression solemn: "Yes, although we have thwarted their conspiracy this time, the real battle has just begun. We must find their lair and completely eliminate this evil force."

Liu Piaoxue gently stroked the hilt of the sword and said firmly: "I am ready. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, I will not retreat."

Ren Xiaoyao raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, then said with a smile: "With good wine and beautiful women by my side, I will do whatever comes my way no matter how long the road ahead is. But this time, I also want to see what those rats hiding in the dark are capable of."

The atmosphere around the campfire suddenly became heavy, and everyone knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult. But it was the friendship of fighting side by side that made them fearless.

"By the way, Brother Shen, can the treasure map you mentioned before really guide us to find the headquarters of the Black Lotus Sect?" Li Xiaoyun broke the silence and asked the question that everyone was concerned about.

Shen Muyun took out a yellowed map from his bosom and slowly unfolded it: "I got this by chance. The map marks the location of a secret base of the Black Lotus Sect. If we can find it, we may be able to follow the clues and get to Huanglong directly."

The lines on the map were complicated, and several of the markings seemed to hide some secrets. The four people gathered together and studied it carefully. Under the moonlight, their figures were elongated, appearing both lonely and determined.

"Okay, in that case, we will set off tomorrow." Li Xiaoyun made the decision, "No matter if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, or dragons and tigers' dens ahead, we will go for it!"

"Yes," Shen Muyun's eyes flashed with determination, "For the peace of this world, in order to prevent innocent people from being hurt again, we have no choice."

The conversation around the campfire deepened until the dead of night. The four people's breathing evenly sounded, but their hearts were still burning. In the dream, there was the coming storm, but also the tranquility after the victory.
