Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Embarking on a new journey with a mission on our shoulders

Hao Yang suddenly pulled me behind him, his body tense and his eyes staring behind me vigilantly.

"What's wrong?" I asked in confusion, following his gaze, but only saw a bustling crowd.

Could it be that Wei Qing and her gang are trying to play some tricks again?

The crowd automatically parted, and an old man in a green shirt, with white hair and a youthful face, slowly walked over.

He had an immortal look, and in his hand he leaned on a cane carved with auspicious clouds. Every step he took carried an inexplicable aura of oppression.

I have never seen this person before, but I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He walked up to us, his deep gaze resting on me for a moment, then turned to Elder Lin and smiled slightly: "Brother Lin, how are you?"

When Elder Lin saw the person coming, he was stunned at first, then he bowed respectfully: "Senior Xuanfeng! Why are you here?" Xuanfeng?

My heart was shocked. I had seen this name in the ancient family books. It was said that he was a reclusive master who had a close connection with my Wei family.

Senior Xuanfeng's gaze fell on me again, with a hint of appreciation: "Yao'er, you did a great job." His voice was loud, but it carried a reassuring power.

"I'm here this time because I have an important matter to discuss with you." His tone suddenly became serious, and the noise around him gradually subsided.

"Recently, a mysterious relic was discovered in the far north..." Senior Xuanfeng said slowly, his words like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

I felt the atmosphere around me suddenly become tense, and the villagers began to whisper to each other, their eyes full of curiosity and worry.

I subconsciously looked at Hao Yang. He held my hand tightly, his eyes full of worry.

Elder Lin also frowned, as if thinking about something.

"This relic..." I hesitated for a moment, feeling uneasy. "Is it very dangerous?" In the past, when I heard this kind of news, I would agree to go without hesitation. However, after experiencing so many things, I began to become cautious.

I don't want to put Hao Yang and the people around me in danger anymore.

My hesitation surprised the people around me. They all looked at me, waiting for my decision.

Senior Xuanfeng smiled, with a hint of profound meaning in his eyes, "Yao'er, you have grown up." He paused, his eyes swept over the crowd, "This relic is related to the fate of the entire world..." His voice was low and powerful, "Hidden in it..." Senior Xuanfeng suddenly stopped and looked at me meaningfully.

"...a magic sword that can change the world." Senior Xuanfeng's voice was so resounding that it seemed to carry some kind of magic, which made my heart tremble.

A magic sword?

Turn things around?

This sounds too mysterious!

I glanced at Hao Yang, and he also had a look of disbelief on his face.

"This divine sword is related to the safety of the entire martial arts world. If it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences will be disastrous." Senior Xuanfeng continued, his tone solemn. "Yao'er, you are the chosen one. Only you can find it and protect it."

The chosen one?

I?

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Could it be that this old man has read too many novels?

"Senior, you think too highly of me. I am just an ordinary person. How can I have the ability to protect the magic sword?" I retorted bluntly, but in my heart I was thinking about how to get out of this as soon as possible.

I don't want to get involved in any disputes anymore. I just want to live a peaceful life with Hao Yang.

"Yao'er, I know what you're worried about," Senior Xuanfeng seemed to see through my thoughts, "but you can't shirk your responsibilities. You possess great power, and this is your destiny."

"Responsibility? Fate?" I sneered. "I am the master of my own destiny. I don't want to be bound by any fate." My tone also became tough.

Hao Yang held my hand tightly and said firmly, "Senior, Yao'er is right. We just want to protect each other and don't want to get involved in any disputes."

Seeing our determination, Senior Xuanfeng sighed and softened his tone, "I understand your concerns, but this crisis is of no small magnitude. If you don't go, the entire martial arts world will be plunged into disaster."

He paused and took out an antique wooden box from his arms, "This contains some treasures I have collected over the years. Maybe they will be helpful to you." He handed the wooden box to me, his eyes full of anticipation.

I hesitated for a moment, but still took the wooden box.

When I opened it, I saw several strange-shaped items inside, emitting a faint spiritual aura.

My heart moved. These things really looked extraordinary.

"Yao'er" Senior Xuanfeng patted my shoulder, his tone full of trust.

His trust made me feel a little pressured, but it also ignited a bit of fighting spirit.

We packed our bags and prepared to set off for the Far North.

Before leaving, Senior Xuanfeng suddenly called us, a trace of worry showing on his face: "Kids, remember, there is a mysterious power in the ruins that has caused countless masters to go and never return..." His voice was low and hoarse, as if carrying some kind of prophecy.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the rolling snow-capped mountains in the distance, "There..."
