Time Travel: Ancient Martial Arts Chronicles

Chapter 120: Remnants of evil hidden, crises lurking

After a brief rest, Su Yao and the others resolutely embarked on the arduous journey to track down the remnants of the evil organization. The Jianghu was vast, like a boundless sea of ​​stars, and the clues to the remnants of the evil organization were like the faint light hidden among the stars, extremely difficult to find. They tirelessly traveled through various towns and wildernesses, and upon arriving at each new location, they immediately and attentively examined any possible suspicious signs.

Ye Wuhen, the Wudang disciple, wielding the Wudang sect's exceptionally keen sense of aura, hunted like a spirit eagle in the darkness, never missing a single trace of even the slightest possible connection to sinister forces. His gaze, like a sharp, tangible arrow, seemed to penetrate the surface and reach the core of things. Su Yao, with the exquisite sensitivity characteristic of an Emei disciple, spoke patiently and heartfeltly, like a gentle spring breeze, engaging with the locals and the jianghu community. Her words were gentle and sincere, her eyes filled with concern and anticipation, hoping to glean even the slightest bit of useful information from their words.

One day, they arrived at a bustling city. The streets were bustling with traffic and pedestrians, the clamor of the city a never-ending symphony of prosperity. However, beneath this seemingly bustling surface, Su Yao and the others were keenly aware of an unusual, oppressive atmosphere. This atmosphere, like a faint, dark haze, shrouded the city. Though not overpowering, it was enough to unsettle even these martial arts masters, possessing unparalleled skills and an instinctive sense of danger.

Su Yao and the others quickly and tacitly dispersed, conducting a meticulous reconnaissance operation throughout the city. Tang Ying, a Tang Sect disciple skilled in concealed weapons, moved like a nimble shadow cheetah, stealthily navigating the city's chaotic black market. His sharp eyes quickly spotted items bearing the distinctive markings of a sinister organization. These items were being sold covertly, the seller acting furtively, like a rat thief in the dark. Seeing the situation looming, the seller attempted to flee. How could Tang Ying let him escape so easily? His movements were lightning-fast, instantly unleashing the Tang Sect's unparalleled light-kung gong. In a few leaps and bounds, he blocked the seller's path like a ghost. "Tell me, where did these things come from?" Tang Ying's gaze was as cold as a star, his voice carrying an undeniable authority, like a low rumble of thunder, shaking the seller's legs slightly. However, although the seller was trembling, he gritted his teeth, as if driven by fear and some unknown force, and refused to utter a word.

Meanwhile, in an inn in the city, Ye Wuhen spotted several suspicious individuals. Their eyes flickered, like candles swaying in the wind, and a faint, dark aura emanated from them, like a venomous snake lurking in the underbrush at night. Though they hadn't yet struck, the menace was already overwhelming. Ye Wuhen remained impassive, like a calm, majestic mountain, silently observing their every move. In a corner of the inn, they whispered to each other, as if plotting some catastrophic conspiracy. Ye Wuhen slowly approached, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, each step as light as a feather, as if afraid to disturb the delicate balance in the air. However, something unexpected happened: one of them suddenly became alert, whirled around, and with a flash of the cold dagger in his hand, he struck Ye Wuhen like a deadly bolt of lightning. Ye Wuhen was well prepared. His feet seemed to move with the wind. A light tap of the ground sent his entire body tumbling like a leaf, deftly sideways to avoid the fierce blow. Then, he unleashed a Tai Chi push-hand technique. His hands seemed to contain the power of heaven and earth, dissolving the man's attack like a puff of smoke. With lightning speed, he grabbed his wrist. "What the hell are you doing?" Ye Wuhen shouted. His voice was deep and commanding, like the sound of a huge bell, echoing through the cramped space of the inn.

Upon hearing the commotion, Su Yao, distraught, rushed to the scene with lightning speed. Under the combined pressure of the others, the captured suspect finally succumbed to the pressure and confided in the remnants of the evil organization, gathering in an abandoned castle outside the city. They were rumored to be hatching a new, vast conspiracy that could subvert the martial arts world. Su Yao and the others, fully aware of the urgency of the situation, dared not delay a moment and immediately rushed to the castle.

From afar, the castle evoked an eerie and terrifying feeling. Like the remains of a timeless beast, it stood silently in the wilderness outside the city. Weeds grew thick and lush, like the castle's loyal guardians, yet also like the claws of a demon seeking to devour it completely. A putrid odor hung in the air, a thick, pungent, and nauseating odor like a thick, tangible fog.

Su Yao and the others cautiously infiltrated the castle, like adventurers groping their way through the darkness. However, as they entered the castle's main hall, the ground beneath their feet suddenly and without warning cracked. Sharp spikes slowly rose from the ground, gleaming with a cold light, like the bared fangs of a demon, ready to devour its prey. Each of them was a seasoned martial arts master, reacting with swiftness. Using their Qing Gong skills, they leaped to safety like a flock of nimble swallows. Meanwhile, countless hidden arrows rained down from the surrounding walls, piercing the dim castle hall with a gleam of death. Ye Wuhen, Tang Ying, and the others each exerted their full power. Ye Wuhen's Tai Chi sword wielded a stream of silver light, forming an impenetrable curtain around him, deflecting the arrows one after another. The clanging sound was like a fierce metallic symphony. Tang Ying displayed the Tang Clan's hidden weapon techniques. His hands were as fast as lightning, and black shadows flew out from his hands. The small hidden weapons accurately shot down the approaching arrows. The flight trajectory of each hidden weapon seemed to be a precisely calculated deadly route.

Just as they were focused on dealing with the organization, the remnants of the evil organization emerged. The leader was a ferocious old man, his face covered in wrinkles like ravines, each one a reminder of a sinister past. He let out a wild laugh that echoed through the castle, a roar from hell: "You think you can find us easily? This castle is your burial place!" Then, waving his darkly auraed wand, he commanded the remnants to attack Su Yao and the others like a tide. Though few in number, their eyes were red, as if filled with hatred and madness. Their moves were brutal, each one unconcerned with their own safety, like a group of desperate criminals.

Su Yao drew her sword to meet the enemy, her Emei sword techniques wielding swiftly in her hands, the sword's light illuminating the dim halls of the ancient castle. Her movements were lithe and graceful, like a fairy dancing with a sword, yet each thrust embodied immense power and unwavering determination. She silently mused: This time, these remnants must be completely eradicated; they must never again endanger the martial arts world. Ye Wuhen, Tang Ying, and the others also worked in close coordination, their coordination seamless, as if in sync. Ye Wuhen employed Tai Chi sword techniques to contain the enemy's main offensive. His steady and continuous swordplay, like a solid fortress, made it difficult for the enemy to penetrate. Tang Ying, searching for opportunities in the shadows, his hidden weapons darted out like sharp blades hidden in the darkness, striking the enemy with unexpected blows. However, as the battle progressed, they discovered that these remnants seemed to have gained a new power, their strength even greater than before. Their attacks grew fiercer, their defenses more tenacious, and this battle was destined to be a difficult and protracted one. Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of Su Yao and the others' foreheads, and their breathing became rapid, but their eyes remained firm, because they knew that they shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the peace and tranquility of the martial arts world. Whether they could defeat evil again and protect the peace and tranquility of the martial arts world was still unknown... In this ancient castle, the life-and-death struggle between good and evil was raging. Every move and every form was related to the fate of the martial arts world, and every breath was accompanied by a life-or-death decision.
