I walk sideways in the game world

The Blood Blade Hall, a wicked sect feared by all in the martial arts world, was infamously known as the Blood Blade Master. At this moment, the atmosphere in the Blood Blade Hall's meeting room was oppressive and suffocating.

"Bang!" The Blood Blade slammed his palm onto the mahogany table, creating a loud bang that shook the teacup. "Waste! All of you waste!" he roared, his voice filled with murderous intent.

"Master, please calm down..." The spy kneeling below trembled all over and lowered his head even lower. "That old bastard Murong Lie is too cunning. Our people can't get close to him at all..."

"I don't want to hear any explanations!" The Blood Blade Master suddenly stood up and paced back and forth, his blood-red robe like a rolling wave of blood. "Ren Xiaoyao... I remember this name." He paused, a sinister glint in his eyes. "He was able to defeat Murong Lie so quickly. It seems I really underestimated him."

"Master, do you want a subordinate..." The spy made a gesture of wiping his neck, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

"No rush." The Blood Blade waved his hand. "I don't need to personally deal with Ren Xiaoyao. But..." He paused, a cruel smile curling his lips. "Since he wants to make a name for himself in the martial arts world, I will give him a great gift!"

"Pass the order down, contact Black Wind Village and the Poison Scorpion Sect..." A cold light flashed in the Blood Blade Master's eyes, "I want to cause complete chaos in this martial arts world!"

The spy took his orders and left, leaving only Bloody Blade alone in the meeting room. He walked to the window and gazed at the rolling hills in the distance, his eyes gleaming with an unfathomable light.

"Ren Xiaoyao, I hope you can accept this 'big gift'..." The Blood Blade Man muttered to himself, then turned around, took out a black wooden box from the secret compartment, and slowly opened it.

The Blood Blade Master's cold voice echoed in the empty meeting room. "Go, spread the word that the treasure that Ren Xiaoyao obtained is actually an ancient evil weapon that will bring disaster. His rapid rise to power is entirely due to the power of the evil weapon."

The spy took his orders and departed. Soon, a rumor spread like wildfire throughout the martial arts world: Ren Xiaoyao possessed an evil weapon that would bring disaster to the world of martial arts. For a time, inns, teahouses, and taverns were abuzz with rumors. Those who had once admired Ren Xiaoyao's rapid rise began to doubt and fear him.

"Have you heard? That kid Ren Xiaoyao, it turns out he relies on unorthodox methods..." A man with a fat face sat in the corner of the inn and said in a low voice.

"That's right. I was wondering how anyone could do that in such a short time..." The person next to him came over and spoke mysteriously, but was interrupted by the shopkeeper's cough.

These rumors naturally reached Ren Xiaoyao's ears. He initially dismissed them, but as they grew more outrageous, some even began to suspect he was colluding with the Blood Blade Hall. He knew that if this continued, he would become a target of public criticism, with no way to defend himself.

"Brother Xiaoyao, you don't have to pay attention to these rumors. The innocent will be innocent." Xia Lin comforted him, but Ren Xiaoyao could see that the worry in her eyes was growing stronger and stronger.

"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death." Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were firm. "I'm going to meet these people who spread the rumors and find out who is behind this!"

He decided to go to the Jianghu Inn himself. It was the place with the most information, and also the source of rumors. As soon as he stepped into the inn, he was greeted by a tangible smell of alcohol and sweat. The inn was bustling with people, and all kinds of Jianghu rumors were spread here with exaggerated expressions.

As soon as Ren Xiaoyao appeared, the originally noisy lobby instantly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on him. He walked straight to the counter and said, "Waiter, bring me a pot of tea."

He sat down pretending to be calm, but listened carefully to the discussions around him. Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded in his ear, "Young Master Ren, how are you?"

Ren Xiaoyao turned around and saw a woman in a pale pink dress standing beside him. It was none other than the renowned Flower Fairy. She chuckled softly, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes. "Looks like someone's trying to steal my life..."

Ren Xiaoyao frowned slightly. The Flower Fairy's words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. He lowered his voice and asked, "What do you mean, Flower Fairy?"

The Flower Fairy sat elegantly across from Ren Xiaoyao, her slender fingers gently stroking the teacup. "Young Master Ren, have you ever wondered why the Blood Blade Master went to such great lengths to ruin your reputation?"

"You mean..." Ren Xiaoyao's heart moved. Could there be a deeper conspiracy behind this?

"The Blood Blade Man is insidious and cunning, and will never do anything in vain." The Flower Fairy's beautiful eyes moved, "He spread rumors not to really kill you, but to take this opportunity..." She paused, leaned close to Ren Xiaoyao's ear, and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao's face suddenly turned very ugly. If what the Flower Fairy said was true, then he was in big trouble this time. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Thank you for the reminder, Flower Fairy. I am very grateful."

The Flower Fairy smiled slightly, stood up and left, "The world is treacherous, young man Ren, take care of yourself."

After watching the Flower Fairy leave, Ren Xiaoyao could no longer sit still. He immediately found Xia Lin and told her what the Flower Fairy had said. After hearing this, Xia Lin couldn't help but gasp, "So that's how it is. We've all been tricked by the Blood Blade Master!"

"We must get to the bottom of this without delay," Ren Xiaoyao said decisively. "Xia Lin, contact all the heroes immediately and tell them I have something important to announce."

"Okay!" Xia Lin knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to delay, so she immediately turned around to make arrangements.

Ren Xiaoyao, based on the clues provided by the Flower Fairy, began to secretly investigate the Blood Blade's conspiracy. He disguised himself, went deep into the tiger's den, and finally found the Blood Blade's trace in a hidden cave.

He held his breath and approached the cave cautiously, only to hear a series of creepy noises coming from within. He peered through the crack in the cave entrance and saw the Blood Blade standing before an altar, muttering something. On the altar sat an object emitting a strange light.

"What is he doing?" Ren Xiaoyao was confused.

At this moment, the Blood Blade suddenly turned around, his cold gaze seeming to penetrate the darkness, shooting straight at Ren Xiaoyao's hiding place. A wicked smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said, "You're finally here..."

Ren Xiaoyao was startled, thinking to himself, "Oh no! My whereabouts have been exposed!" Without thinking too much, he immediately turned around and fled.

"Want to leave? Too late!" The Blood Blade Master sneered and flashed before standing in front of Ren Xiaoyao. The blood blade in his hand emitted a strange red light, as if it would devour anyone at any moment.

"Blood Blade Master, what exactly do you want to do?" Ren Xiaoyao asked in a deep voice, while secretly being on guard. He knew that with his current strength, his chances of winning if he confronted the Blood Blade Master head-on were slim.

"What do I want to do? I want you to die!" A trace of viciousness flashed in the Blood Blade's eyes. "You ruined my good deeds, how can I tolerate you!"

"You spread rumors to ruin my reputation just to lure me here?" Ren Xiaoyao suddenly realized. He finally understood the Blood Blade Man's real purpose.

"Yes, you're not that stupid." The Blood Blade sneered, "It's a pity that you realized it too late!"

With that, the Blood Blade Master brandished his blood-red blade and launched a fierce attack at Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao didn't dare to take it head-on, relying on his agile body to dodge. However, the Blood Blade Master's attacks were fast and fierce, and Ren Xiaoyao's dodging became increasingly difficult, and he gradually developed multiple wounds on his body.

Meanwhile, Xia Lin has contacted various heroes and made the Blood Blade's conspiracy known to the public. However, to her surprise, many heroes, far from believing her, mocked her instead, and some even suspected she was in cahoots with Ren Xiaoyao.

"Ren Xiaoyao is colluding with the evil cult and must be killed! You are actually speaking up for him, you are simply aiding and abetting the evil!"

"You're slandering me! Young Master Ren is a chivalrous man, how could he be a member of the Demonic Cult?"

"Humph, empty words are not enough. If you say he is a good person, does that mean he is a good person?"

……

Faced with everyone's doubts and accusations, Xia Lin was speechless. She realized that the Blood Blade's conspiracy was far more complicated than they had imagined. Not only did they have to face the direct challenge of the Blood Blade, but they also had to deal with pressure from all sides of the martial arts world.

Ren Xiaoyao, trapped in the cave, was gradually losing ground under the relentless pressure of the Blood Blade Master. He was careless and was slashed on the arm by the Blood Blade Master, and blood immediately stained his sleeves red.

"It's over, Ren Xiaoyao!" The Blood Blade Master grinned, raised his blood blade, and prepared to deal a fatal blow to Ren Xiaoyao...
