Time Travel: Ancient Martial Arts Chronicles

Chapter 41: Post-War Aftermath and a New Chapter in the Martial Arts World

After finally escaping from that dark, sinister, sealed place, everyone looked as if they had just walked through the gates of hell, their condition in a state of disarray. Lin Yu half-carried and half-supported Ye Wuhen, his brow furrowed so tightly that it could kill a fly, his face filled with worry. "Captain, you've got to hold on! We're almost home. If you dare to let me down at this critical juncture, I'll have you through."

Ye Wuhen's face was as white as a piece of paper, and his lips were bloodless, but he still forced a smile: "Hey, are you cursing me? This little injury can't kill me. We got out of that damn place alive, so we're lucky enough to have saved our lives." His voice was like a broken bellows, weak, but at least he was grateful for having survived a disaster.

Lin Xiaoxiao walked beside her, her eyes red as peaches from crying, and she would occasionally sob and wipe away tears with her hands. "You say that so easily, but when you rushed towards that ball of light like a fool just now, do you know how we felt? I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my throat. What would we do if something happened to you? You can't scare us like that." The little fox was also rubbing against her feet, whining, as if to say, "That's right, that's right, you scared us to death."

Bai Zhi wasn't feeling well either. Her spiritual energy was already nearly depleted, and her body felt as weak as a noodle, vulnerable to a gust of wind. But she persevered, gritting her teeth and saying, "That's right. This time it was a real stunt. It was incredibly dangerous. But at least we foiled the black-robed man's plot and saved the martial arts world, so it was worth it. If that monster had truly escaped, we'd all be finished, and the entire martial arts world would have been turned upside down."

"That's right. The situation was extremely close," Lin Yu said with lingering fear. "I thought we were going to die right there, especially when the man in black threw the crystal ball into the door. I thought, 'It's over, it's all over now.'"

"Luckily, the captain reacted quickly and followed us in, otherwise we really wouldn't know what to do." Lin Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears.

"Yes, the captain is always at the forefront. If it weren't for the captain this time, we wouldn't have the ability to stop the man in black robe." Bai Zhi looked at Ye Wuhen, her eyes full of admiration.

The entire journey was silent, their heads focused on the road. Everyone seemed to have lost their souls, their minds still replaying the thrilling battle. It felt like a nightmare, terrifying, and even now, the thought still lingers in their hearts. However, after this experience, the bond between them is truly stronger than iron, thicker than a mountain.

After finally returning to their clan, the scene was as lively as New Year's Eve. As soon as the clan members heard that they had successfully prevented a catastrophe that could have shaken the martial arts world to its core, they swarmed around them, forming three layers inside and outside.

"Oh, you guys are so awesome! You are simply the heroes of our family!" An elder was so excited that his face turned red, as if he had drunk two kilograms of wine, and he shouted at the top of his voice, and the sound buzzed in the yard.

"Yes, you have brought honor to our family!" another member of the clan echoed.

"Hurry, carry the captain to the clinic and find the best doctor." someone shouted.

Ye Wuhen was hurriedly carried into the family clinic. The best doctors surrounded him as if he were a rare treasure, taking his pulse and examining his wounds. The clan members were also busy, bringing medicinal herbs and supplements, which piled up like a small mountain, hoping that Ye Wuhen would recover soon.

"This is the thousand-year-old ginseng that I found with great difficulty. It's for the captain to nourish his body." A tribesman shouted.

"I have Tianshan Snow Lotus, which is very good for healing." The other one was not to be outdone.

Ye Wuhen was lying on the hospital bed, watching the lively scene, his heart warmed. "Thank you for your concern, my injury will surely heal quickly with these good things."

During Ye Wuhen's recovery, the martial arts world was abuzz with excitement. Every sect heard about this incident, and the praise for Ye Wuhen and his companions spread everywhere, as if it were free. The young disciples' eyes lit up, treating them like superheroes.

"Wow, Ye Wuhen and the others are so powerful. I want to be like them in the future, protecting the martial arts world and becoming a great hero." A young disciple from a sect said with longing on his face.

"That's right, they are my idols. I have to practice hard and not embarrass them." Another one also shouted.

But in this world, there are always those who are jealous because they can't eat grapes. A few small sects, seeing how successful Ye Wuhen and his team are, are filled with jealousy, like a cat scratching at them. So, they start gossiping behind their backs, saying some unpleasant things.

"Hmph, what's so great about them? They're just lucky. If we were there, we could have dealt with the man in black robe too. We might even be more powerful than them." A disciple from a sect curled his lips and muttered softly, his expression was as disdainful as it could be.

"That's right. I think they might be in cahoots with the black-robed man. Otherwise, how could they know so much about the black-robed man's conspiracy? There must be something fishy here." Another disciple also joined in the fun, and his eyes looked as if he really knew some big secret.

These rumors spread like wildfire, reaching Ye Wuhen's family within days. Lin Yu flew into a rage upon hearing this, slamming his hand on the table so hard that the teacups bounced. "These people are going too far! We fought tooth and nail, nearly losing our lives, to save the martial arts world. And yet they're slandering us behind our backs. What a bunch of bastards!"

"Exactly, these people are so infuriating." Bai Zhi frowned, "We risk our lives for the martial arts world, and yet they're here spreading rumors and causing trouble."

"Hmph, they are just jealous of us and can't stand us doing well." Lin Xiaoxiao was also indignant.

Ye Wuhen lay in bed, quite calm. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Hmph, don't pay attention to them. We are upright and have nothing to fear. Those who are innocent are innocent. They can say whatever they want, and we will do what we should do. As long as we keep doing our best and protecting the martial arts world, one day, they will know the truth. Then, let's see how they can put their faces."

"Captain, you are too kind. People like this should be taught a lesson." Lin Yu was still angry.

"There's no need. Arguing with them will only lower our status. We have more important things to do." Ye Wuhen said.

While Ye Wuhen was recovering from his injuries, he often recalled the fierce battle with the black-robed man in the sealed land. Those scenes kept flashing in his mind, and one conversation was particularly profound.

In that dark space, Ye Wuhen and the black-robed man fought fiercely, their spiritual energy flickering and intertwining. The black-robed man roared as he attacked, "Ye Wuhen, why are you opposing me? You don't understand my grand plan at all!"

Ye Wuhen dodged nimbly while retorting, "Your great cause? Your so-called great cause is to plunge the entire martial arts world into disaster. How can I just sit back and watch?"

The black-robed man laughed wildly. "Disaster? This martial world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Only the strong can control everything. The power of that monster will help me become the supreme master of the martial world. You ants will have to submit."

"Hmph, you are dreaming. The peace in the martial arts world was won with the blood of countless ancestors. We will not let you destroy it easily." Ye Wuhen said, swinging his sword at the man in black robe.

The black-robed man dodged to the side, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes: "Just you? Do you think you can rest easy just by stopping this? The darkness of this martial arts world is far more than this."

"Then we will stop it again and again until all the darkness is dispelled." Ye Wuhen responded firmly.

Recalling this, Ye Wuhen clenched his fists and secretly vowed in his heart that he must keep the martial arts world away from these conspiracies and evil.

As Ye Wuhen's injuries gradually healed, he remained active. He began teaching the younger disciples within his clan, imparting all his combat experience and the knowledge he had gained from the battle with the black-robed man. Like a mother hen protecting her chicks, he hoped these youngsters would grow up quickly and become capable of protecting the martial arts world.

"Children, listen carefully. The peace of the martial arts world does not fall from the sky. It depends on each of us to protect it with all our strength. You must practice hard and don't be lazy. It is not enough to have martial arts skills, you must also have a heart of justice, understand? Don't learn from those guys who gossip behind people's backs. We must be upright people." Ye Wuhen stood in front of a group of young disciples and spoke loudly, staring at each disciple like an eagle staring at its prey.

"Captain, we get it! We will study hard and become as powerful as you in the future to protect the martial arts world!" A young disciple shouted excitedly.

"Haha, yes, we want to become heroes like the captain!" The other disciples also followed suit.

"Okay, you have ambition! Then let's start now and start with the basics. Judging from your posture, you all have to be serious." Ye Wuhen said with a smile.

He began to guide his disciples in practicing, correcting one's posture and explaining the key points of the moves to another.

"Your horse stance is not stable. You need to lower your center of gravity, like this." Ye Wuhen said as he demonstrated to a young disciple.

"And you, when you punch, you must concentrate your spiritual power on your fist, so that it will be more powerful." He said to another disciple.

These young disciples were incredibly hardworking, rising before dawn to practice and still refining their techniques late into the night. Their shouts and the clashing of weapons could be heard everywhere in the family, creating a positive and uplifting atmosphere.

Yet, amidst this peaceful moment, within the shadowy corners of the martial arts world, a few mysterious figures were quietly watching all this unfold. Like mice hiding in the shadows, they watched Ye Wuhen and his companions' every move, their eyes shone with an elusive light, as if they were plotting some new conspiracy. A new storm, like the faint dark clouds on the horizon, was slowly brewing within the depths of the martial arts world, waiting for the right moment to sweep across it once again.

One day, Ye Wuhen was teaching his disciples how to practice martial arts when he suddenly felt a little uneasy, as if a small insect was scratching him. He frowned and thought, "What's going on? Is something bad about to happen again?" He stopped what he was doing and looked into the distance, his eyes revealing a hint of worry.

Seeing Ye Wuhen's expression, Lin Yu came over and asked, "Captain, what's wrong with you? Is your wound hurting again? Or are you worried about something?"

Ye Wuhen shook his head: "No, I always feel something is wrong, as if some danger is approaching. You should all be alert recently and don't let your guard down."

"Captain, are you too nervous? Maybe you have just recovered and your body has not adapted yet." Lin Yu said.

"No, this feeling is very strong, I won't be wrong. We can't take it lightly." Ye Wuhen said seriously.

"Okay, I got it. I'll go tell everyone and ask everyone to be careful." Lin Yu said, turning and leaving.

In another sect, several mysterious figures are plotting.

"That Ye Wuhen is really a trouble. If we don't get rid of him this time, he might cause trouble for us in the future." said a man wearing a black mask.

"Yes, we have to think of a way. We can't let him continue to be so successful in the martial arts world. We have to bring him down." Another man in a black robe echoed.

"Hmph, I already have a plan, and I'm just waiting to implement it. This time, Ye Wuhen must be ruined." A man with a sinister look said with a sneer.

"Oh? What plan? Tell us quickly." The man in black robe asked curiously.

"Hehe, we can start with the people around him, isolate him first, and then find an opportunity to frame him." The sinister man said with a sinister smile.

"That's a good idea. Let's do it." The masked man nodded in agreement.

Their conspiracy is like a dark net, slowly spreading towards Ye Wuhen and his companions, but Ye Wuhen and his companions are completely unaware of it and continue to work hard to protect the martial arts world. How will the situation in the martial arts world change next? It is really heartbreaking.

In the family, the young disciples were still practicing diligently. One young disciple encountered a problem while practicing swordsmanship and could not make it up no matter how hard he tried.

"Brother, why is my swordsmanship always wrong? It feels weird." The young disciple frowned and asked the brother next to him with a distressed look.

The senior brother came over, took a look, and said with a smile: "The way you exert force is wrong. Look, it should be like this..." As he said that, the senior brother demonstrated it to him.

"Brother, I still don't quite understand. Can you demonstrate it again?" The young disciple scratched his head.

"Okay, watch carefully." The senior brother demonstrated it patiently again.

The young disciple did as his senior brother said, and it really improved a lot. "Wow, senior brother, you are really amazing! I understand."

"Haha, if you practice hard, you will definitely be stronger than me in the future. We must learn skills well, so that if there are bad guys like the man in black robe in the future, we can protect everyone." The senior brother patted the little disciple on the shoulder.

Ye Wuhen looked at these young disciples and felt very relieved. He knew that the future of the martial arts world depended on these children. As long as they could grow up, there would be hope for the martial arts world. But he also knew that the road ahead was still long and many challenges awaited them, and they must be prepared at all times.

At this moment, the family received a mysterious letter. There was no signature on the letter, only one sentence: "Ye Wuhen, your doomsday is coming." Ye Wuhen looked at the letter and sneered: "Hmph, who is behind this again? No matter who you are, I'm not afraid of you." He crumpled the letter into a ball, his eyes became more determined, he knew that a new battle might be about to begin.

"Captain, could this letter be sent by those who are jealous of us?" Lin Yu asked.

"It's possible, but no matter who it is, we won't be scared by such tricks." Ye Wuhen said.

"Should we strengthen our family's defenses?" Bai Zhi asked.

"Yes, it is necessary. Notify everyone, be vigilant, and take preventive measures." Ye Wuhen ordered.

Everyone took action, and the atmosphere in the family became tense. However, those mysterious figures secretly laughed at the changes in the family.

"Hmph, they're getting nervous. The show is about to begin." said the sinister man.

"That's right, let's wait and see how Ye Wuhen responds." The man in black robe also said with a smile.

This new storm in the martial arts world has begun to surge in the dark, and no one knows how it will develop. But Ye Wuhen and his companions are ready to meet any challenge and protect the justice of the martial arts world in their hearts.
