The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

Chapter 419

Taoist Master Baimei seemed to have been pardoned. His figure turned into green smoke again and quickly left Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness. As soon as he returned to reality, he saw that the surrounding scene had not changed. Ren Haoyu was still standing several feet away, with a complex and gloomy light flashing in his eyes. It was obvious that he knew everything that had just happened. Baimei's heart trembled slightly, knowing that there was no way out in this matter, and he could only bite the bullet and deal with it.

Ren Haoyu snorted coldly and said, "Baimei, you colluded with that rebellious son and wanted to rescue the people I imprisoned. If this matter were to spread to the world, how would your Emei sect maintain its reputation?" As he spoke, a sense of oppression quietly spread, and although he did not draw his sword, the sword intent was already intimidating.

Taoist Master Baimei took a deep breath, calmed his expression, and replied: "Young Master Ren, I was indeed entrusted by Ren Xiaoyao, but it is not a collusion, but out of concern for your sect's affairs. The woman's identity is special and it concerns the safety of the martial arts world. If it can be resolved peacefully, it will be a blessing for all parties."

Ren Haoyu sneered: "Care? Humph, you know she is a traitor to my Ren family, she ran away from the family without permission, and even stole my Ren family's most precious treasure, the 'Nine Nether Mysterious Pearl'. This item is related to my Ren family's century-old foundation, how can I let her escape?"

Bai Mei was shocked when he heard this. The Nine Nether Mysterious Pearl was a treasure in the martial arts world. It was said that it contained peerless martial arts and healing medicine. If it fell into the hands of evil, the consequences would be disastrous. He thought for a moment and said seriously, "Young Master Ren, I am willing to guarantee in the name of the Emei Sect that if I can find the Nine Nether Mysterious Pearl, I will return it to your sect and help track down the whereabouts of the traitor. I only ask you to temporarily release the girl and give her a chance to explain the whole story."

Ren Haoyu stared at Baimei for a long time with a sharp gaze, and finally nodded slightly: "Okay, Uncle Baimei, for the sake of your Emei Sect, I will give you three days. If there is no news after three days, my Ren family will go to Emei in person, and you will bear all the consequences by yourself."

Taoist Master Baimei bowed and said, "Young Master Ren is so magnanimous. I am very grateful. I will have a reply within three days." After that, he turned and left, but he knew in his heart that this journey would be full of difficulties. Not only would he have to find the mysterious woman, but he would also have to face the temptation and fight for the Nine Netherworld Pearl.

At the same time, Ren Xiaoyao was in the secret room, sitting cross-legged on the cold jade bed, wandering in his sea of ​​consciousness. The black-robed figure was the mysterious power that resided in his body. It would appear at critical moments to give him guidance and protection. At this moment, the black-robed figure spoke again: "Ren Xiaoyao, if you want to save your mother, you must first find the Nine Nether Mysterious Pearl. Only this thing can break the restrictions on her."

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were firm, and he whispered, "I understand. But the Nine Nether Mysterious Nether Pearl is so precious, and we don't know where it is. How can we find it in just three days?"

The black-robed figure smiled slightly, with a mysterious aura flowing through him: "The Nine Nether Mysterious Pearl is connected to your blood. You just need to calm down and sense it, and clues will appear. As for how to deal with Ren Haoyu, you must remember to establish yourself with benevolence and righteousness, and act with wisdom, so that you can gain a foothold in this complicated world."

Ren Xiaoyao heard this, closed his eyes and began to try to sense the existence of the Nine Nether Mysterious Pearl. At this time, all forces in the martial arts world quietly gathered together because of this turmoil concerning the treasure, and a battle for the Nine Nether Mysterious Pearl was about to break out in the undercurrent of the martial arts world.

------------------

The next morning, the sun shone on the top of Mount Emei. Taoist Master Baimei called his disciples together and briefly explained the whole story, asking them to search for clues about the Nine Nether Mysterious Pearl. He followed Ren Xiaoyao's instructions and went to a secret place with a close relationship with the Ren family - "Yunmengze".

Yunmeng Lake is located in the southwest border. It is a mysterious water area shrouded in thick fog all year round. It is said that there are many martial arts secrets hidden in it. Taoist Master Baimei went into the lake alone. The fog was lingering around, and occasionally water birds were startled and flew away, breaking the tranquility of the lake. He followed the direction in his memory and came to an ancient tower that had been abandoned for a long time. The tower was mottled and vines were entangled, revealing a sense of vicissitudes of time.

Taoist Master Baimei pushed open the half-closed tower door and stepped inside. The light inside the tower was dim, and the air was filled with dampness and decay. He walked up the spiral stone steps, and each step seemed to be stepping on the dust of history. Finally, he reached the top floor, and a stone platform appeared in front of him, on which stood a simple sandalwood box.

Taoist Master Baimei held his breath and walked forward slowly. His fingers gently brushed the surface of the box. A familiar chill penetrated his fingertips and reached his mind. He was sure that the Nine Nether Mysterious Pearl was inside. Just as he was about to open the wooden box, a sharp sword energy broke through the air and pointed directly at his vest.

Taoist Master Baimei moved to one side to avoid the sword energy, and when he looked back, he saw a man in black quietly appearing on the top of the tower, with cold eyes and a long sword in his hand. This man obviously came for the Nine Nether Mysterious Pearl, and his strength should not be underestimated.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking?" Taoist Master Baimei asked in a deep voice, while secretly circulating his true energy to prepare for the fierce battle that was about to begin.

The man in black did not answer, but smiled coldly, pointed the tip of his sword at the ground, and the sword energy around him suddenly surged, as if he had turned into a sharp sword ready to pierce the sky at any time. A life-and-death battle over the Nine Nether Mysterious Pearl began on the top floor of the ancient tower in Yunmengze.

Taoist Master Baimei moved and turned into a puff of green smoke. He instantly escaped from Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness and returned to the real world. He looked solemnly at Ren Xiaoyao in front of him, secretly thinking about how to deal with it. He knew that the "girl" Ren Xiaoyao was referring to must be his biological mother, Concubine Yu, who was imprisoned by a mysterious force. This matter was related to the mystery of Ren Xiaoyao's life experience, and it was also the pain in his heart that he could not let go.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were burning with determination. He turned to Taoist Master Baimei and said, "Master Baimei, I have made up my mind. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I will save my mother. If Master is unwilling to take risks, I will not force you, but I hope you can help me find clues and guide me to save her."

Taoist Master Baimei sighed, stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Well, you and I are master and disciple, how can I stand by and watch this matter. Let me tell you a fortune, maybe I can get a glimpse of the secret."

After that, Taoist Master Baimei took out a tube of tortoise shells from his arms, closed his eyes and silently chanted, flicked his fingertips, and several tortoise shells flew into the air and then fell to the ground. He looked at them intently and saw intricate cracks on the tortoise shells, which contained an indescribable mystery.

"As the hexagram shows, you need to find three things to be saved: the first is the 'Iron Ganoderma', which grows in extremely cold places and has the miraculous effect of healing wounds and prolonging life; the second is the 'Cold Green Pond', whose water can wash away all dirt and cleanse the soul; the third is the 'Nine Yang Manual', which contains profound martial arts and can help you reach a higher level of cultivation." Taoist Master Baimei explained slowly, "Only when these three things are gathered together can it be possible to break the many restrictions that imprison your mother."

When Ren Xiaoyao heard this, a determined light flashed in his eyes. He bowed and said, "Thank you, uncle-master, for your guidance. I will set out immediately to find these three items." After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Taoist Baimei.

"Xiaoyao, this matter is extremely dangerous, you must not take it alone. Although I am old, I still have martial arts skills and I am willing to embark on this journey with you." Taoist Master Baimei's eyes were firm, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind to go through the difficulties together.

A warm feeling surged in Ren Xiaoyao's heart. He bowed deeply and said, "I feel honored to have Uncle Master accompany me. Let's set off immediately and rescue mother as soon as possible."

The two packed up their belongings, quietly left the mountain, and embarked on a difficult journey to find the Iron Ganoderma, the Clear Water Cold Pond, and the Nine Yang Manual. Along the way, they experienced wind, frost, rain, and snow, and encountered challenges and pursuits from various people in the martial arts world, but they remained determined and moved forward courageously.

The first stop was the "Snowy Glacier" in the extremely cold northern region, where it is said that the rare Ganoderma lucidum grows. On the glacier, the snow is covered in silver and the wind is as cold as a knife, making it difficult for ordinary people to stand. Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Baimei relied on their deep inner strength to resist the severe cold and went deep into the heart of the glacier. Finally, they found the crystal-clear and cold Ganoderma lucidum under a cliff. The two carefully picked it and put it in their pockets.

Next, they rushed to the "Cuiwei Valley" in the southwest border to find a cold pond with clear water. Cuiwei Valley was shrouded in mist and was deep and quiet. At the bottom of the valley was a cold pond with rippling blue water. Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Master Baimei, according to the records in ancient books, used special methods to draw water from the pond and poured it into a special jade bottle. The water in the cold pond was clear and transparent, as if it could cleanse people's hearts.

Finally, they came to the holy place of martial arts in the Central Plains, Shaolin Temple, to seek the Nine Yang Manual. In the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Library, an old monk with white hair and beard received them. After learning the purpose of their visit, the old monk was embarrassed and frankly said that the Nine Yang Manual was the most precious treasure in the temple and that only those who were destined to read it could read it. However, Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Master Baimei were so sincere that they moved the old monk. He decided to test the two of them in a duel. If they could defeat the Shaolin Temple's Eighteen Bronze Men Formation, he would allow them to read the Nine Yang Manual.

After a fierce battle, Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Master Baimei teamed up to break out of the formation. Seeing this, the old monk nodded with satisfaction and personally led them into the secret room to take out the long-forgotten Nine Yang Manual. Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Master Baimei each silently recited the scriptures and practiced the martial arts mysteries in them, and their cultivation levels were significantly improved.

At this point, the three objects gathered together. Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Master Baimei, full of passion and hope, headed towards the place where the mysterious force imprisoned Empress Yubin, ready to launch a thrilling rescue operation. What awaits them ahead will be more severe tests and unknown dangers... Taoist Master Baimei trembled slightly. Although he had doubts in his heart, he had no time to investigate at this moment, so he could only withdraw from Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness as he was told. He turned into a physical entity again, standing in front of Ren Xiaoyao with a solemn expression. Ren Xiaoyao stared at Taoist Master Baimei with a sharp gaze, and the unquestionable determination made Taoist Master Baimei's heart tremble.

"Uncle Baimei, this matter concerns the safety of my mother. I have no way out." Ren Xiaoyao said firmly, and the determination in his eyes was as cold as ice. "I know that you and my father have a deep friendship, but I implore you to put aside your personal feelings for the time being and lend me a helping hand."

Taoist Master Baimei was silent for a long time, then he sighed and said slowly: "Young Master, you know that this matter is not about ordinary grudges in the martial arts world, but about the secrets of the entire martial arts world. The matter of your mother is actually the aftermath of a shocking conspiracy decades ago. If I intervene easily, I am afraid that I will bring disaster to myself and bring disaster to the entire Baimei Sect."

Ren Xiaoyao heard this and clenched his fists, veins showing, but he suppressed his anger. He knew that what Taoist Master Baimei said was true. However, due to the strong family ties, he could not sit idly by. "Uncle Master, I am not asking you to take risks alone. I have a clue in my hand, and I just need you to help me find a mysterious place - 'Yunhai Xianzong'. It is said that there is the key to solving all mysteries."

When Taoist Master Baimei heard the words "Yunhai Xianzong", his eyes suddenly changed, as if he had touched upon some forbidden memory. He pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Well, in that case, I will accompany you on this journey. But you must promise me that no matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, you must protect yourself first and not act rashly."

Ren Xiaoyao nodded gratefully. He knew that it was not easy for Taoist Baimei to do this, so he said no more and turned to take out an old map. On the map was a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, and a simple Taoist temple could be vaguely seen on the top of the mountain. He pointed it to Taoist Baimei and said, "This is where the sea of ​​clouds is. It is said that only those who are proficient in the five elements of escape can pass through the heavy fog and reach the top of the mountain."

Taoist Master Baimei took the map and studied it carefully, with a strange look in his eyes. He whispered, "The Five Elements Escape Method... It seems that this matter is not unsolvable." He looked up at Ren Xiaoyao and said seriously, "Young Master, you know that the Five Elements Escape Method is a long-lost Qimen Dunjia technique, and it is difficult for ordinary warriors to understand its secrets. However, I have had the honor of studying a book called "The True Explanation of the Five Elements", which may be able to help us."

Ren Xiaoyao was refreshed upon hearing this, and a fire of hope ignited in his heart. Taoist Master Baimei then closed his eyes and concentrated, silently exerting his inner strength, chanting a formula, and lightly swiped his fingertips across the map. A light golden light flowed along the mountains and rivers on the map, and finally gathered at the location of Yunhai Xiantong. After the light disappeared, lines of tiny words appeared on the map, recording the essence of the Five Elements Escape Technique and the method to break the fog.
