The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

Chapter 459

He nodded heavily, his eyes flashing with determination: "Don't worry, senior, Li Yang will live up to your expectations in this life, and swear to make this world different because of me."

The two smiled at each other, without further words, everything was said without words. The companions around were also infected by the deep love between master and apprentice, and the atmosphere became unusually warm and powerful.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence, and a young man with slightly disheveled clothes ran over from a distance, looking anxious. When he saw Ren Xiaoyao, he hurriedly saluted and said breathlessly: "Report... Report, there is an incident in the village... The village!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yang's face suddenly changed, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. He clenched his fists and said in a low and firm voice: "Senior, let me go back and take a look."

Ren Xiaoyao nodded slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, with both worry about Li Yang and worry about the future: "Go, Li Yang, the real test is often not in the swordplay of the rivers and lakes, but between the people and things you care about most. Remember, no matter what happens, keep your heart, and you will be invincible."

Without saying a word, Li Yang turned around and sped back the way he came. He had only one thought in his mind: to protect the village and the people who had once given him warmth and strength.

As the night deepened and the moon was high in the sky, Li Yang's figure was like an arrow shot from a bow, shuttling through the mountains and forests, so fast that he almost turned into a streak of light. In addition to anxiety, he was more calm and prepared for the unknown challenges he was about to face.

When he arrived at the village, he saw that the village was illuminated by fire, shouting and crying, and it was a mess. Li Yang's heart seemed to be clenched, but he quickly adjusted his emotions, took a deep breath, and rushed into the battle with his sword.

In front of him, a group of masked men in black were wreaking havoc. They were very skilled and obviously not ordinary bandits. Li Yang did not hesitate. With a flash of his sword, he went straight for the leader. His swordsmanship was as fast as lightning, and every strike was the result of months of hard training and anger in his heart.

The battle was fierce and brutal. Li Yang gradually stabilized the situation with his extraordinary willpower and increasingly improved martial arts. Just as he was about to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, a familiar voice rang in his ears: "Li Yang, watch out!"

It was one of his new partners, Xiao Dao Zhang, who gave him a timely reminder and saved his life. The two of them stood back to back, working in perfect harmony to fight against wave after wave of attacks.

After a fierce battle, the last bit of resistance was finally broken, and all the men in black were captured. Li Yang stood in the ruins, looking at his devastated home, feeling mixed emotions.

"Why?!" He questioned the black-clad man who was tied up, his voice filled with unbelievable anger, "Our village is a peaceful place, why do you treat innocent people like this?"

The man sneered, his eyes full of disdain: "Because weakness is the original sin, because your existence hinders the plans of some people."

Li Yang was furious when he heard this, but he soon calmed down. He knew that the impulse at the moment would not solve any problems. He swept his deep eyes over the crowd and finally fixed on the bright moon in the night sky, and made a decision in his heart.

"Take them away and hand them over to the government." Li Yang ordered coldly, turning to look at the frightened villagers, his tone full of tenderness and determination, "Don't worry, I'm here, and I will never let anyone hurt you again."

That night, Li Yang not only protected the village, but also protected his own insistence on justice. And his story, like the brightest star in the night sky, began to spread quietly in the world.

"Senior, I did it." When Li Yang stood in front of Ren Xiaoyao again, this sentence was both a report and an affirmation of himself.

Ren Xiaoyao nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of praise: "Li Yang, you have surpassed the trial itself. Remember, a true martial artist is always on the road, constantly moving forward and growing."

At this point in the conversation, the two men's figures stretched out in the moonlight. They knew that there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future, but they believed that as long as there was light in their hearts, there would always be hope in this world.

"I hope I can become the person who travels the world with a sword as my predecessors said." Li Yang's words were full of determination and yearning. His eyes passed through the campfire in front of him, as if he saw the many challenges and infinite possibilities on the road ahead.

"The road ahead is long and arduous," Ren Xiaoyao stroked his long beard, his eyes far-reaching. "On the road of martial arts, one must not only move forward courageously, but also be compassionate and stop war with force. Li Yang, the burden on your shoulders is heavy, but you are by no means alone."

At this moment, a meteor suddenly streaked across the night sky, brief but brilliant, as if responding to Li Yang's belief. Li Yang looked up, his heart surging with unprecedented ambition.

"Senior, I want to... I want to build a different martial arts world, a martial arts world where you don't have to prove yourself through blood and tears." Although Li Yang's tone is young, it is full of determination. "I want everyone to live in peace and make the martial arts world no longer a place where the weak are preyed upon by the strong."

After hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao smiled in appreciation: "Great, having such a great ambition is a blessing for the martial arts world. Remember, change cannot be achieved overnight. It takes time, wisdom, and countless people like you who work hard and persevere."

"I will." Li Yang's answer was simple and powerful. He turned to look at his companions beside him. The light of the campfire was reflected on everyone's face, and their eyes also showed their longing for the future and the pursuit of their ideals.

"We all will." Xiaodao Zhang said on behalf of everyone. His voice was not loud, but full of power, like a silent oath, conveyed to everyone present.

As the night deepened, the conversations around the campfire became less frequent, and everyone was immersed in their own thoughts. Li Yang closed his eyes, feeling the cool breeze on his face, but his heart was burning. He knew he still had a long way to go, but with a goal and a companion, all the difficulties seemed no longer so scary.

"Let's set off tomorrow." Li Yang spoke slowly, breaking the silence, "To find more like-minded people, to practice our ideals, and to make this world different because of us."

"It's up to you. Wherever you go is the martial arts world." Ren Xiaoyao stood up, patted his robe, and his eyes flashed with expectations for the future. "Go, young people, and write the era that belongs to you."

Everyone stood up and packed their bags. Although the road ahead was unknown, they were filled with unprecedented courage and determination. Under the night, the figures of the group gradually faded away, leaving only the extinguished bonfire and the firm belief surrounding them.

“The road ahead is long and full of wind and rain, but as long as we have hope in our hearts, light will eventually come.” Li Yang and Ren Xiaoyao walked side by side at the front of the team. Their conversation was not only a summary of tonight’s experience, but also a preview of the future journey.

And in this ancient yet young world, a new legend is quietly unfolding.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning penetrated the mist and sprinkled on the winding mountain road, covering the team about to embark on the journey with a layer of golden armor. The sound of horse hooves and footsteps echoed in the quiet valley, heralding the beginning of a new day and also heralding new challenges.

"Senior, where is our first stop?" Li Yang rode his horse beside Ren Xiaoyao, his brows showing both curiosity about the unknown and determination to face the future.

Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly, his eyes deep: "In the martial arts world, the most well-informed places are the restaurants and teahouses in major cities. We might as well go to the nearest Yunlai Town, where we may be able to collect the intelligence we need and find like-minded people."

Yunlai Town is a town famous for its gathering of merchants. The restaurant "Juxian Pavilion" in the town is a popular place for people from the underworld to exchange information. When the group stepped into the gate of Juxian Pavilion, they were greeted by noise and bustle. Various people shuttled among them, and the sounds of talking, laughing, guessing, and weapons colliding intertwined into a unique underworld symphony.

"Look over there, that one-armed old man, he was once the best swordsman in Jiangnan, now he has retired from the martial arts world, but he is still well-informed." Ren Xiaoyao instructed softly, leading Li Yang through the crowd, introducing those seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary martial arts figures.

Li Yang followed closely behind, and every step he took was extremely cautious. He knew that in this complex and ever-changing world, every inconspicuous character might hold key information. They sat down in a relatively quiet corner, ordered a few pots of good wine, and waited for the opportunity to come.

Soon, a middle-aged man with ordinary clothes but unusually sharp eyes approached and asked in a low voice: "Do you two need anything? I may be able to help you."

Ren Xiaoyao nodded slightly, looked at the other person calmly, and then slowly said: "We do have something to ask of you, but it is a very serious matter. I wonder if you have the courage to listen to it?"

The middle-aged man raised a mysterious smile and said, "I have been in the martial arts world for many years. I have seen all kinds of storms. You can tell me what I am talking about."

Seeing this, Li Yang no longer hesitated and directly stated their purpose: "We want to find a group of like-minded knights to jointly establish a fair and peaceful martial arts order. This trip is to find clues and gather strength."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was surprised at first, but then turned to admiration: "Your ambition is so high, and it is a blessing for the martial arts world. Although I am not a great talent, I am willing to introduce a few friends who may be able to help you."

With the introduction of the middle-aged man, Li Yang and Ren Xiaoyao successively met several hidden masters. Among them was a former killer who decided to put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot; there was a female hero with superb medical skills who took it as her responsibility to save the dying and the wounded; and there was also a young disciple who was tired of the fighting between sects and longed for true peace in the martial arts world.

Night fell again, and the lights in Juxian Pavilion were brightly lit. This time, the people surrounding Li Yang and Ren Xiaoyao were no longer just strangers, but partners who gradually gathered together. They sat around a table, talking about the past and planning for the future. The air was filled with an unprecedented unity and hope.

"So this is what is called 'a tower is built from a pile of sand, and a coat is built from a pile of fur." ​​Li Yang looked at the determined faces around him, his heart filled with indescribable emotion.

"Yes, the power of one person is limited, but when like-minded people gather together, they can turn the world upside down." Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with relief, "Li Yang, you still have a long way to go, but you have taken the most solid step."

"Yes, senior, we are ready." Li Yang stood up and looked around at his companions. Everyone responded to him with a firm look, "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, we must move forward, because--"

"Because we want to make this world different because of us!" Everyone responded in unison. Although the voices were not loud, they echoed in the Juxian Pavilion for a long time, like a declaration, swearing their commitment to and pursuit of the new martial arts world.

It was late at night. Outside the Juxian Pavilion, a bright moon was hanging high in the sky, its light spreading all over the earth. Li Yang and his companions set out on their way forward. Their backs stretched out in the moonlight, looking lonely and determined. They knew that this was just the beginning, and their story was slowly unfolding in this vast world.

"Senior, where should we go next?" Li Yang turned to look at Ren Xiaoyao, his eyes showing both anticipation for the unknown journey and a hint of uneasiness about the unknown road ahead.

Ren Xiaoyao stared into the distance and said in a deep voice: "Now that we have gathered like-minded people, the next step is to go deep into the tiger's den and uncover the conspiracy hidden in the dark to destroy the peace of the martial arts world. It is said that there is a secret place deep in the valley, called 'Shadow Moon Cliff', where a group of masters with ulterior motives gather all year round, trying to control the overall situation of the martial arts world. Our goal is to explore the Shadow Moon Cliff and stop their plan."

Li Yang's face turned grim upon hearing this, and he tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword: "If that's the case, then we can't delay any longer. But senior, how can we enter the heavily guarded Shadow Moon Cliff?"
