Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

The truth finally comes out and we choose the way forward

Elder Lin supported me and we slowly moved towards the direction where the energy fluctuations came from.

Hao Yang was still unconscious. I held his hand tightly and prayed silently in my heart that he would be safe.

The depths of the ruins are dark and damp, with a strange smell in the air, and every step feels like walking on the edge of a knife.

Suddenly, a slender figure appeared in front of us, blocking our way.

It was a woman, dressed in flowing white clothes, with a beautiful and ethereal appearance, like a fairy from the world.

She emanated a soft light that was out of place in the gloomy ruins.

"You can't go any further." The woman's voice was ethereal and clear, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

I was startled and felt an inexplicable sense of tension.

Elder Lin also stood in front of me cautiously and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"My name is Lingxin, and I'm the guardian of this place." The woman replied calmly.

Spiritual heart?

protector?

Could she be the hidden power in these ruins?

My heart was filled with doubts, but more of anxieties.

The purpose of our trip is to explore the secrets of the ruins, but now we are told that we can't go any further. How can I accept this?

I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm.

I gently pushed Elder Lin aside, took a step forward, looked at Lingxin, and said sincerely, "Miss Lingxin, we are not here with malicious intent. We just want to find out what happened here. My lover is seriously injured, and I need to find a way to save him."

Lingxin looked at me quietly, and there seemed to be a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

She slowly raised her hand, pointed in the direction behind us, and said softly, "Go back, this is not the place for you..." She paused, her eyes fell on the jade pendant in my hand, a complicated light flashed in her eyes, "This jade pendant..."

Ling Xin gazed at the jade pendant in my hand with a complex expression. She slowly said, "This jade pendant... is the key to unlocking the true treasure." She paused, her tone becoming grave. "But this treasure isn't what the outside world says it is. It's not a divine artifact for improving one's cultivation, but... the key to maintaining peace throughout the Jianghu."

My heart was shocked. Maintaining peace in the martial arts world?

what on earth is it?

Lingxin continued to explain that a powerful force was sealed in the ruins, a force that was enough to overturn the balance of the entire martial arts world.

The so-called treasure is actually the key to controlling this power.

Once the treasure falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Guardians of all generations have guarded this secret with their lives to prevent the treasure from being abused.

"To obtain the treasure, one needs to pay a huge price." Ling Xin said solemnly, "It may even be... one's life."

Elder Lin's face changed drastically when he heard this, but I felt a sense of calm in my heart.

Peace in the world, these four words are far more important than my personal life and death.

I looked at the unconscious Hao Yang and became more determined.

If it's for him, for the sake of the world, I have to make a choice.

"I am willing." I looked at Ling Xin firmly, "I am willing to pay any price in exchange for peace in the martial arts world."

Elder Lin also nodded solemnly, "I am willing too."

A trace of relief flashed in Lingxin's eyes, and she sighed softly: "Okay, I will lend you a hand."

Just as we were about to accept Lingxin's help, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the darkness. It was Yingsha!

"You'll never succeed!" he roared and attacked us again.

A fierce battle broke out again.

Shadow Demon's attack is more ferocious than before, and even the three of us working together can hardly resist it.

Seeing this, Lingxin muttered something, and a dazzling light emanated from her body, instantly enveloping Yingsha.

Yingsha's movements slowed down noticeably, as if he was suppressed by an invisible force.

"Hurry! I can't hold on for much longer!" Ling Xin's face was pale and her tone was urgent. "You must make a decision as soon as possible! Give up the treasure to save yourselves, or continue to take risks and save the world!"

I looked at Elder Lin, then at the unconscious Hao Yang, with a thousand thoughts in my mind...

I turned to look at Lingxin and was about to speak when I saw a flash of determination in her eyes and her hands quickly formed seals...
