I walk sideways in the game world

The night was deep, thick as ink, shrouding the ruined temple's broken walls and tiles in a gloomy atmosphere. Moonlight weakly penetrated the dilapidated roof, casting distorted shadows on the mottled walls, adding a touch of eeriness.

"Flower Fairy, why did you ask us to meet here?" Ren Xiaoyao broke the silence with a hint of doubt in his tone.

The Flower Fairy slowly turned around. Her beautiful face, illuminated by the moonlight, was now covered in a layer of frost, her eyes flickering with complex emotions. She didn't directly answer Ren Xiaoyao's question, but instead asked, "Do you know why I joined the Jianghu Alliance?"

"This..." Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin were both stunned. This question had never occurred to them. The Flower Fairy had always been a solitary and mysterious person. Her sudden joining of the Jianghu Alliance had already taken them by surprise. Now, thinking about it, perhaps there was something else going on.

"The Blood Blade Man is the murderer of my father!" The Flower Fairy spoke every word with a voice that was icy and filled with deep hatred.

Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Flower Fairy was so active in hunting down the Blood Blade Man. It turned out that there was such a hidden story behind it.

"I've discovered that the man behind the Blood Blade has close ties to the Black Wind Village, so I've been lurking here, waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge," Flower Fairy continued. "Now that the Blood Blade has fled here, I'm sure he's taken refuge with his backers. Your presence this time is perfect for us to work together inside and outside to completely eradicate this evil force!"

Ren Xiaoyao nodded, a gleam in his eyes: "In that case, let's join forces and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

After the discussion, Flower Fairy led Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin into the Black Wind Village through a secret passage. In order not to alert the enemy, the three disguised themselves as ordinary bandits and blended in with the crowd.

The Black Wind Village was filled with smoke and chaos, and was crowded with desperate criminals. They drank, played drinking games, and made loud noises, completely unaware of the impending danger.

Ren Xiaoyao and Flower Fairy quietly observed the surrounding situation, searching for the Blood Blade and the mysterious man. Meanwhile, Xia Lin quietly left Black Wind Village as planned and returned to the Jianghu Alliance headquarters to prepare for the encounter.

Time passed minute by minute, and Ren Xiaoyao still didn't find anything suspicious. Just when he began to doubt the accuracy of the intelligence, a familiar figure suddenly flashed before his eyes.

The man was dressed in black, wearing a conical hat, and had a thin figure. It was undoubtedly the Blood Knife Man!

Ren Xiaoyao's heart trembled, and he followed silently, with the Flower Fairy following closely behind. The two of them, one in front and one behind, disappeared silently into the crowd... The Blood Blade's figure soon disappeared outside a heavily guarded courtyard. Ren Xiaoyao hid in the shadows and observed for a moment, realizing that the people entering and leaving the courtyard were all burly men with stern expressions, clearly the elite of the Black Wind Village.

"It seems that this is their lair." Ren Xiaoyao thought to himself, and he decided to take the risk and sneak in to find out what was going on.

The night was deep in the air, and the courtyard was utterly silent, lit only by a few dim lanterns. With his extraordinary martial arts skills, Ren Xiaoyao silently scaled the high wall and slipped into the courtyard. He hid behind a rockery, carefully observing his surroundings, trying to find a path into the room.

Suddenly, there were light footsteps not far away. Ren Xiaoyao's heart tightened, and he quickly held his breath, pressing his body tightly against the rockery. A burly man holding a steel knife passed in front of him, his cold eyes scanning the surroundings, as if he was on patrol.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't dare move, fearing he'd be discovered. He waited until the man was far away before he breathed a sigh of relief. A layer of cold sweat had already broken out on his back. He secretly thanked himself for reacting quickly, otherwise he would have been discovered.

He continued to observe the surrounding environment and found that the windows of the room were all closed and sealed with iron bars, making it impossible to get in. Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly found a crack in the roof of the room, which seemed to be a way to enter.

Ren Xiaoyao was delighted. He leaped up onto the roof, then crouched down and slowly approached the damaged area. He carefully lifted the tiles, revealing a hole that was large enough for one person to pass through.

He leaned over and looked down, only to find one person in the room, sitting at a table with their back to him, seemingly writing something. Judging from their figure, it was the mysterious man he had been searching for!

Ren Xiaoyao was delighted. Just as he was about to go down, he suddenly heard a conversation coming from outside the room:

"Brother, is everything done?"

"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan. The Jianghu Alliance will soon..."

The mysterious man in the room heard the noise outside, stopped writing, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Brother, the Blood Blade wants to see you." A rough voice came from outside the door.

"Let him in." The mysterious man said lightly.

The door was pushed open and the Blood Blade walked in with his head lowered. His nightgown was torn in several places, and it was obvious that he had been in a fierce battle.

"How's it going?" the mysterious man asked without even looking up.

"I made a mistake. Please punish me, big brother." The Blood Blade Man knelt on the ground, his tone full of fear.

"Waste!" The mysterious man slammed the table and roared, "If you can't even deal with Ren Xiaoyao, what use do I have for you?"

"Brother, calm down. Ren Xiaoyao is really powerful, and he has experts helping him..." The Blood Knife Man explained hurriedly.

"Hmph, I don't care what method you use, you must take his life within three days, otherwise you will come to me with your head!" said the mysterious man coldly, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Yes, I obey your command." The Blood Knife Man's heart trembled and he responded quickly.

"Go down." The mysterious man waved his hand, signaling the Blood Blade Man to retreat.

After the Blood Blade left, the mysterious man pulled out a letter from his pocket and read it carefully in the dim candlelight. The letter contained little, but every word was filled with sinister and vicious intent, making one shudder.

"Jianghu Alliance... Ren Xiaoyao..." The mysterious man murmured softly, a sneer on his face, "Your good days are over!"

Ren Xiaoyao, who was hiding on the roof, heard everything clearly, and his heart was in turmoil. He originally thought it was just an ordinary vendetta, but he didn't expect that there was such a huge conspiracy behind it!

He didn't dare to delay any longer, so he quickly returned and told Xia Lin everything he had seen and heard.

"Subvert the entire martial arts world?!" After listening to Ren Xiaoyao's story, Xia Lin couldn't help but gasp, "They have such huge ambitions!"

"Who are they? Why are they doing this?" Ren Xiaoyao frowned, puzzled.

Xia Lin pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Based on the mysterious man and their plan you described, I suspect..."

Xia Lin's voice was very low, but Ren Xiaoyao still heard her guess clearly, and his face became extremely solemn.

"If that's the case, then we must act before they do..." Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said in a firm tone.

"Instead of just sitting there and waiting for death, we should take the initiative!" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with coldness. "We must find their lair before they do and completely crush their conspiracy!"

Xia Lin nodded in agreement. "You're right. Let's head to Thousand Faces Villa now. That's where the Blood Blade often hangs out. Maybe we can find some clues there."

The two men, having discussed their plans, immediately set out for Qianmian Villa. To avoid alerting the enemy, they decided to travel light, taking only the Flower Fairy with them. The Flower Fairy was a skilled tracker and a skilled martial artist, making her the perfect guide.

The night was as dark as ink. The three of them galloped all the way, finally arriving at Thousand Faces Villa at dawn. The villa was built on the mountainside, with a dangerous terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack. No wonder the Blood Blade chose this place as his hiding place.

"Let's act separately. Remember, be careful in everything you do." Ren Xiaoyao whispered, and then the three of them sneaked into the villa quietly.

Ren Xiaoyao and Flower Fairy were in charge of searching the front yard of the villa, while Xia Lin went to the backyard to investigate. However, what they didn't know was that the Blood Blade had not left the villa, but was hiding in the dark, waiting for their arrival.

"Swoosh!" A sharp arrow flew through the air, heading straight for Ren Xiaoyao's face. Ren Xiaoyao was prepared, and he turned his body to the side, barely avoiding the arrow.

"Who?!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted angrily and drew his sword.

"Hey, Mr. Ren, how are you?" The Blood Blade walked out from the shadows with a ferocious smile on his face.

"So it's you, the traitor!" The Flower Fairy recognized the Blood Blade at a glance and was furious. "How dare you show up here!"

"Hmph, today is the day you die!" The Blood Blade Man sneered, waving the blood blade in his hand and rushing towards Ren Xiaoyao and the Flower Fairy.

A fierce battle ensued. Ren Xiaoyao's swordsmanship was sharp and fierce, while Hua Xianzi's lightness skills were outstanding and her movements were graceful. With the two of them working together, the Blood Blade Master gradually lost the upper hand.

"Damn it!" Seeing that he was no match for his opponent, the Blood Knife Man cursed in his heart, made a feint, and turned around to flee.

"Want to escape? Not that easy!" The flower fairy shouted, and her body was as fast as lightning, chasing after him relentlessly.

Ren Xiaoyao followed closely behind, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, forced the Blood Knife Man to the edge of a cliff.

"Haha, Ren Xiaoyao, even if I die, I will drag you down with me!" The Blood Blade Man looked crazy and jumped off the cliff.

"Not good!" Ren Xiaoyao was shocked and rushed to the edge of the cliff, but he saw clouds and mist swirling below the cliff, which was bottomless. Where was the Blood Knife Man?

"We've been tricked!" The Flower Fairy's face turned pale and her tone was hurried. "He didn't jump off the cliff at all. He deliberately led us here!"

Ren Xiaoyao also realized that the situation was not good. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a deafening roar of killing from afar...
