The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

After Yun Yao entered the world of cultivation, she looked for opportunities along the way and constantly improved her strength. Her courage and wisdom allowed her to gradually gain a foothold in this challenging world. However, fate always seemed to like to give a heavy blow to people when they were most proud.

One day, Yun Yao heard that in a mysterious valley, there was a thousand-year-old spiritual herb that was about to mature. This spiritual herb was of great value to practitioners, and could help improve their cultivation and even break through bottlenecks. Yun Yao was moved and decided to go to the valley to explore.

After a long journey, Yun Yao finally arrived at the entrance of the valley. The valley was surrounded by clouds and mist, faintly emitting a mysterious atmosphere. Yun Yao stepped into the valley carefully, vigilantly observing the movements around him.

The valley was lush with vegetation and rich in spiritual energy. Yun Yao walked along a path, her heart full of anticipation. She knew that such places often concealed great dangers, but in order to improve her own strength, she had to take a risk.

As she walked, Yun Yao suddenly felt a strong aura coming towards her. She stopped and looked ahead vigilantly. She saw a group of figures slowly walking out of the woods. They were all wearing black robes, with stern faces and fierce eyes.

Yun Yao's heart tightened. She knew she was in trouble. These people were obviously not easy to deal with, and their strength should not be underestimated. Yun Yao took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.

"Little girl, this is not the place for you to come." The black-robed man in the lead said coldly, "Hand over the treasures on you, and we can spare your life."

Yun Yao frowned, she knew these people were coming for the treasures on her body. She did have some precious items bought at the auction, as well as valuable experience gained while exploring the mysterious land. But she would never give these things to others easily.

"You want to steal my things? It's not that easy." Yun Yao said firmly.

"Humph, if you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you." The man in black robe snorted coldly, "Since you don't know how to appreciate my kindness, don't blame us for being rude."

After saying that, the black-robed man waved his hand, and several of his men behind him immediately rushed towards Yun Yao. Yun Yao quickly drew her sword and prepared to fight. She knew that this would be a tough battle.

The first black-robed man who rushed up was holding a big knife and slashed at Yun Yao. Yun Yao dodged to the side and avoided the attack. Then, she quickly swung her sword to counterattack. The blade flashed a cold light in the air and stabbed into the chest of the black-robed man. The black-robed man quickly blocked with his knife, but Yun Yao's sword was so sharp that it still left a wound on his arm.

Seeing their companions injured, the other black-robed men rushed forward with angry shouts. Yun Yao was in a bitter battle. She kept swinging her sword to resist the enemy's attacks. Some wounds gradually appeared on her body, but she still persisted tenaciously.

During the battle, Yun Yao discovered that the strength of these black-robed men was above the Qi Training Realm, and the black-robed man who led them had even reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. She knew that she had to find a way to break through the siege, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Yun Yao was thinking about countermeasures while fighting. She suddenly remembered some tips the system had given her about how to deal with the enemy in times of crisis. She decided to give it a try.

Yun Yao concentrated her energy, mobilized the spiritual energy in her body, and injected it into the sword. The sword suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the sword force became more fierce. She waved the sword, performed a set of fierce sword techniques, and rushed towards the enemy.

The black-robed men were startled by Yun Yao's sudden outburst and retreated one after another. But they quickly stabilized their position and attacked Yun Yao again.

Yun Yao kept changing her moves to deal with the enemy. She used the terrain in the valley to cleverly avoid the enemy's attacks. At the same time, she was also looking for the enemy's weaknesses, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

However, the number of enemies was too large, and Yun Yao gradually felt that she was overwhelmed. Her physical strength and spiritual energy were constantly being consumed, while the enemies did not seem to show any signs of fatigue.

Just when Yun Yao was in a desperate situation, she suddenly felt a strong breath coming from the depths of the valley. This breath shocked her heart, she didn't know whether this breath was an enemy or a friend, but she decided to take a gamble.

Yun Yao shouted towards the direction where the aura came from: "Senior, I am Yun Yao, and I have encountered a strong enemy. I beg you to help me."

Her voice echoed in the valley, but there was no response. Yun Yao was a little disappointed, but she did not give up. She continued to shout loudly, hoping to get a response.

At this moment, the black-robed leader said impatiently: "Don't waste your energy. No senior here will come to save you. Hand over the treasure obediently, and we can still give you a quick death."

Yun Yao ignored the words of the man in black robes, and she continued to shout firmly towards the depths of the valley. Finally, after she shouted a few times, a low voice came from the depths of the valley.

"You are quite brave despite your young age." His voice revealed a sense of authority, "But why should you let me save you?"

Yun Yao was delighted, and she quickly said, "Senior, I know there is a thousand-year-old spiritual herb that is about to mature. If you can save my life, I am willing to give you the spiritual herb."

There was silence for a moment in the depths of the valley, and then the voice sounded again: "Okay, for the sake of the spiritual herbs, I will help you this time."

As the voice fell, a strong aura instantly enveloped the entire valley. The black-robed man and others felt this aura and their faces turned pale. They knew that they had encountered a powerful opponent.

A figure slowly flew out from the depths of the valley and landed in front of Yun Yao. This was an old man, wearing a white robe, with a kind face, but a sharp look in his eyes.

The old man looked at the black-robed man and the others and said coldly, "How dare you bully a little girl? Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and teach you a lesson."

The black-robed man and the others were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Senior, please spare our lives. We didn't know this girl was your friend. We will leave now and never dare to do it again."

The old man snorted coldly: "Are you afraid now? It's too late."

After saying that, the old man waved his hand, and a powerful force instantly knocked the black-robed man and others away. The black-robed man and others fell to the ground, spitting blood from their mouths, obviously seriously injured.

The old man turned his head, looked at Yun Yao, and said, "Little girl, are you okay?"

Yun Yao said gratefully: "Thank you for saving my life, senior. I'm fine."

The old man nodded and said, "Where is the thousand-year-old spiritual herb you mentioned just now?"

Yun Yao quickly pointed in a direction deep in the valley and said, "It's right there. However, the spiritual herbs are not yet mature, so we need to wait for a while."

The old man frowned slightly and said, "Okay, then we'll wait. During this time, you stay with me and I will protect your safety."

Yun Yao was delighted and quickly said, "Thank you, senior."

So, Yun Yao and the old man waited in the valley for the spiritual herbs to mature. While waiting, Yun Yao asked the old man some questions about cultivation. The old man also patiently answered her questions, which benefited her a lot.

Finally, after a period of waiting, the thousand-year-old spiritual grass matured. The spiritual grass exuded a rich spiritual aura, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

The old man looked at the spiritual herb and said with satisfaction: "This spiritual herb is indeed good. Little girl, you are trustworthy. Now, this spiritual herb belongs to me."

Yun Yao nodded and said, "I have no way to repay you for saving my life. This spiritual herb is just a token of my gratitude."

The old man smiled and said, "You are a very sensible little girl. Well, I can't take your things for nothing. I have a cultivation secret book here, I'll give it to you."

After that, the old man took out a secret book from his arms and handed it to Yun Yao. Yun Yao took the secret book, her heart filled with gratitude. She knew that this secret book would be a huge fortune for her.

The old man looked at Yun Yao and said, "Well, let's say goodbye now. I hope you can practice well in the future and become a powerful cultivator."

Yun Yao said quickly, "Senior, please take care. I will work hard to cultivate and live up to your expectations."

The old man nodded, then his figure flashed and disappeared into the valley.

Yun Yao looked at the direction where the old man disappeared, her heart filled with emotion. She knew that she was able to escape danger this time only because of luck. If she hadn't met this senior, she might have died at the hands of the man in black robe.

Yun Yao calmed down and decided to leave the valley. She knew that this place was no longer safe, and she needed to find a safe place as soon as possible to practice and improve her strength.

On the way out of the valley, Yun Yao kept recalling this experience. She realized that she still had a long way to go in the world of cultivation. It was full of dangers and challenges, but also full of opportunities and hope. She had to keep working hard to gain a foothold in this world.

The author says:

In this chapter, Yun Yao encountered an unprecedented crisis. She was surrounded by a group of powerful enemies and fell into a desperate situation. But she did not give up, but relied on her wisdom and courage to fight fiercely with the enemy. In the process, she also showed her tenacity and firm belief in the future.

At the same time, Yun Yao's experience also shows us the cruelty and danger of the world of cultivation. Here, strength is the hard truth. Only by constantly improving one's own strength can one survive in this world.

I hope Yunyao can continue to maintain this courage and determination in future adventures, and continue to grow and improve. I also hope that readers can draw strength from Yunyao's story and bravely face the challenges in life.
