Chapter 445
The man in black robe was standing in the courtyard at this time, with his back to Ren Xiaoyao. As if he had known that he would come, he slowly said: "You are here, Xiaoyao. Your progress is faster than I expected. Very good."
"Senior in black robe, there seems to be a power in my body that I have not yet understood. It allows me to break through several levels in a short period of time, but it also makes me feel an indescribable threat." Ren Xiaoyao spoke bluntly, looking at the back of the man in black robe with a firm gaze.
The black-robed man turned around, his eyes deep as the abyss beneath the mask, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoyao, have you ever heard of 'Bloodline Awakening'?"
Ren Xiaoyao was stunned when he heard this and shook his head to express his confusion.
"Blood is an ancient and mysterious existence in the martial arts world. Some people are born with powerful blood. Once awakened, they will have extraordinary power. You, Ren Xiaoyao, are one of them." The black-robed man slowly walked towards Ren Xiaoyao, and each step seemed unusually heavy. "Your blood is special, called 'Netherworld Blood Pupils'. Once fully awakened, you can not only see the essence of all things in the world, but also control people's hearts and souls."
Ren Xiaoyao was shocked. He had never thought that he would be related to such a legendary bloodline. "Then... how can I control this power?"
“Control? Haha, the word control is too mild. What you need to do is to tame it and make it a part of you, rather than being controlled by it.” The black-robed man’s tone suddenly turned cold. “But before that, you must pass a trial to prove that you are qualified to control this power.”
"Trial? What kind of trial?" Ren Xiaoyao asked.
"You will face your deepest fear. Only by overcoming it can you truly control 'Blood Eye of the Netherworld'." The man in black robe pointed to a corner of the courtyard, where an ancient stone door had appeared at some point. Intricate spells were carved on the door, exuding a heart-pounding aura.
"Go through that door and your trial will begin. Remember, no matter what you encounter, never forget why you are fighting." The figure of the man in black robe gradually blurred until he completely disappeared in the morning light.
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath and walked towards the door step by step. He stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. A strong light instantly swallowed him up, and then everything returned to calm.
……
When Ren Xiaoyao opened his eyes again, he was already on a desolate battlefield, with corpses strewn all around him, the sky covered with dark clouds, and thunder and lightning. His heart tightened, this was exactly the scene that had recurred in his childhood nightmares.
"Is this my test?" He said to himself, clenching his fists. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ears. It was the man in black robes, but it seemed not to be. It was more like a spiritual communication.
"Here, you will face your fears and your past. Only by letting go completely can you gain true freedom."
"I will." Ren Xiaoyao answered firmly, took a step forward, and bravely walked towards the center of the battlefield, where something seemed to be waiting for him.
At this point, the scene turns into a dialogue, which serves as a temporary ending to the story:
"Are you ready, Xiaoyao?" the voice asked again.
"Yes, I'm ready. No matter what challenges lie ahead, I will move forward fearlessly." Ren Xiaoyao's gaze pierced through the heavy fog and looked straight ahead at the unknown. Although his voice was light, it was full of determination and courage.
, his swordsmanship was as fast as lightning and extremely sharp, catching the masters of the Ren family off guard. After that day, the young man seemed to have evaporated and disappeared from people's sight again, leaving only a mystery and endless speculation.
This young man is Ren Xiaoyao, who ran away from home, went through hardships, and made great progress in his cultivation. During his wandering, he accidentally got an ancient book "The Netherworld Sword Manual", which recorded a set of amazing swordsmanship - the Netherworld Thirteen Styles. After several years of hard training, Ren Xiaoyao finally mastered this set of swordsmanship, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds, becoming a great swordsman in the world.
However, just when he was ready to return to the Ren family to prove himself to his family after mastering his swordsmanship, he learned a heartbreaking news: his beloved was kidnapped by a mysterious force as a bargaining chip. This force was the notorious Black Lotus Sect, whose leader was famous for his evil skills and cruel methods, and whose influence spread all over Tianfeng Country.
Taoist Master Baimei is a reclusive master. By chance, he sensed the persistence and struggle in Ren Xiaoyao's heart, so he appeared in Ren Xiaoyao's sea of consciousness, taught him a set of secret healing methods, and told him that in order to rescue his loved ones, he must first improve his own strength and find the secret to restrain the evil skills of the Black Lotus Sect.
At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao was sitting in a dilapidated temple in the wild mountains, surrounded by a faint spiritual energy. He was using the secret method taught by Taoist Master Baimei to recover his vitality. It was quiet all around, with only the occasional bird calls breaking the tranquility.
"If I can comprehend the last move of the Thirteen Netherworld Moves, 'Netherworld Return', my strength will definitely reach a higher level." Ren Xiaoyao thought to himself, his eyes determined. He closed his eyes and began to simulate the moves over and over in his mind. The sword's will rose and fell with his breathing, outlining sharp trajectories in the void.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke his meditation, and then a familiar voice came from outside the temple gate: "Brother Xiaoyao, it's me, Yun Feiyang."
The door was pushed open, and a young man in a green shirt and holding a folding fan walked in. He had a handsome face and anxious eyes. "Brother Xiaoyao, I heard that you are back. Come back to the Ren family with me. I have something urgent to discuss with you."
Ren Xiaoyao slowly opened his eyes, a complex look flashing in his eyes: "Yun Feiyang, I came back this time for..."
"For her, I know." Yun Feiyang interrupted him, his expression solemn, "The Black Lotus Cult's actions are becoming more frequent, and we don't have much time."
The two looked at each other, and no words were needed, their intentions were clear. Yun Feiyang took out a jade slip from his arms and handed it to Ren Xiaoyao: "This is the clue my father left behind, maybe it can help you find a way to restrain the evil power of the Black Lotus Sect."
Ren Xiaoyao took the jade slip and felt the information contained in it, and a warm current surged in his heart. "Thank you, we will set off immediately."
"Okay, Brother Xiaoyao, this time, the Ren family is with you." Yun Feiyang said firmly, and then the two walked out of the ruined temple side by side and embarked on the road of salvation and revenge.
As night falls, under the moonlight, two figures gallop through the mountains and forests, leaving behind only a trail of firm and resolute footprints. What awaits them ahead will be unknown challenges and a test of life and death.
, his swordsmanship was as fast as lightning and extremely cold, shocking everyone present. This young man was none other than Ren Xiaoyao, who had been missing for many years. He returned not only with his unparalleled cultivation, but also with a resolute and fearless heart.
It turns out that the reason why Ren Xiaoyao left the Ren family desperately was because he discovered a shocking secret - behind the prosperity of the Ren family, there was betrayal and massacre of fellow martial artists. In order to find out the truth and prevent more innocent people from being sacrificed, he dived into the abyss of darkness alone, dealing with various evil forces, and even hovering on the edge of life and death several times.
Ten years of experience have made Ren Xiaoyao grow from a young boy to a famous swordsman in the martial arts world. His swordsmanship is extraordinary and his will is as firm as a rock. But behind this return is the lingering shadow in his heart - the imprisoned woman is the love of his life and the one he tried his best to save.
"Master Baimei, your martial arts are indeed powerful, but since I, Ren Xiaoyao, can escape from you, I will not give up easily." Ren Xiaoyao clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with an unyielding light. He knew that in order to rescue his beloved, he must strengthen his own strength and at the same time uncover the unknown dark side of the Ren family.
So, he began to travel around, visiting famous mountains and rivers, looking for secrets to improve his cultivation, and also made friends with many strange people in the martial arts world. Among them, the most crucial encounter was in a hidden ancient temple, where he met an old monk who was practicing in seclusion. The old monk seemed ordinary, but in fact he was very knowledgeable and mastered a long-lost internal skill - "Nine Turns to Return the Dragon".
"Young man, you have worries in your heart, but your will is firm. If you can use this 'Nine Turns Returning to the Dragon', it will definitely be of help to you." The old monk looked at Ren Xiaoyao kindly, slowly unfolding a yellowed scripture in his hand.
In the following days, Ren Xiaoyao practiced in seclusion in the ancient temple, day and night, rain or shine. The "Nine Turns to Return to the Dragon" not only strengthened his internal strength, but also gave him a new understanding of martial arts. Each turn brought him a completely new transformation. Finally, on a night of thunder and rain, he successfully broke through to the fifth level of the spiritual rank, reaching a new realm.
At the same time, the secrets of the Ren family gradually surfaced. It turned out that behind all this, there was a feud between the rivers and lakes 20 years ago and a conspiracy that was enough to subvert the Tianfeng Kingdom.
"Ren Xiaoyao, you are finally here." A low and familiar voice sounded in the night. It was Taoist Master Baimei. He appeared in front of Ren Xiaoyao again, but this time, there was more respect in his eyes.
"Senior Baimei, I won't run away this time. No matter if there are mountains of swords or seas of fire ahead, I will rescue her." Ren Xiaoyao said in a firm tone, his sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed.
"Okay, then let me see how much you've grown in the past two years!" Taoist Master Baimei sighed softly, then stretched out his body, and suddenly sword energy filled the air between the two of them, and the sky and the earth changed color.
After a fierce battle, Ren Xiaoyao, relying on his profound inner strength of "Nine Turns Back to the Dragon" and extraordinary swordsmanship, finally made Taoist Baimei stop and acknowledge his strength and determination.
"You win, Ren Xiaoyao. Remember, a true warrior must not only have extraordinary strength, but also have the belief to protect." Taoist Master Baimei said earnestly.
"Don't worry, senior. I will live up to your expectations." Ren Xiaoyao nodded and looked into the distance with a firm gaze. There was the journey he was about to embark on and the place where he vowed to rescue his beloved.
When the conversation ended, the dark clouds in the night sky dissipated, revealing a bright moon, as if heralding the rise of new hope.
, his body moves as fast as lightning, his sword shines like a dragon, no one can stop him. His face is stern, and his eyes reveal a depth and determination that does not belong to this age. This young man is none other than Ren Xiaoyao who has been missing for many years.
When he returned, he was no longer the impulsive young man, but had an indescribable cultivation and vicissitudes. Facing the astonished tribesmen, he only left a faint sentence: "I am back, but the Ren family is no longer my home." Then, he turned and left, just like he left resolutely that year, leaving the Ren family with a mysterious back.
Since then, Ren Xiaoyao's name has become well-known in the martial arts world. He travels around the world, doing justice, making friends with heroes and heroes, and gradually uncovers a huge conspiracy hidden deep in the Tianfeng Kingdom. All of this is related to the "her" in his heart who needs to be saved.
She is the most talented woman in Tianfeng Kingdom, Lin Wanqing. Because she knew a secret that she shouldn't know, she was involved in a political whirlpool and was eventually imprisoned in the deepest part of Tianfeng Palace. Ren Xiaoyao vowed to rescue her from the tiger's mouth no matter how difficult and dangerous it was.
As time goes by, Ren Xiaoyao's reputation in the martial arts world grows, and his swordsmanship becomes more and more advanced. He creates a set of swordsmanship called "Xiaoyao Nine Swords", which contains the principles of nature, infinite changes and amazing power. Now, he finally finds the key clue to rescue Lin Wanqing - Taoist Master Baimei, a reclusive master who controls the secret passage to the forbidden area of Tianfeng Palace.
After a battle of wits and courage, Ren Xiaoyao had a spiritual contest with Taoist Master Baimei in his sea of consciousness, and finally won the other party's trust with a slight advantage. Although Taoist Master Baimei left, he left Ren Xiaoyao a precious map and a warning: "There are many dangers in the forbidden area, don't forget your original intention."
At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao tightly grasped the map in his hand, with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, but he was no longer afraid.
