Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty

Standing beneath the palace wall, Little Swallow gazed into the distance and said to Hongli and Hongzhou, "Your Majesty, Hongzhou, this ancient temple exudes a sinister aura. We must be extremely careful on our journey there."

Hongli's expression was solemn: "I know that the Shadow Society is cunning and has many burrows. This ancient temple is probably a den of dragons and tigers."

Hongzhou, however, was full of confidence: "Brother, sister-in-law, don't be afraid. With me here, I will not let them harm you in the slightest!"

The three, accompanied by a group of trusted followers, disguised themselves and headed towards the abandoned ancient temple outside the city. Halfway there, Little Swallow suddenly stopped and said warily, "Listen, it's too quiet all around here, eerily quiet."

Hongzhou gripped his sword tightly: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. With us here, they won't dare to show themselves easily."

But no sooner had he finished speaking than a group of dark figures surged out from all around. Hongzhou shouted, "Well done!" and charged forward first.

Swords clashed, their cold light flashing. Hongzhou brandished his sword and shouted, "Brother, sister-in-law, run! I'll hold them off!"

Little Swallow refused to back down: "No, we must fight together!" With that, she joined the battle.

Although Hongli was not skilled in martial arts, he calmly directed the guards from the side.

After a fierce battle, they finally repelled the group of shadowy figures. Hongzhou wiped the sweat from his brow: "These people are just small fry; the real danger is still in the ancient temple."

When they arrived at the ancient temple, they found the gate tightly shut, covered in dust and cobwebs. Hongli said softly, "It seems no one has set foot here for a long time, but the more so, the more we must not let our guard down."

Hongzhou stepped forward and forcefully pushed open the door, the hinges creaking loudly. The interior was dark and filled with a putrid stench.

Little Swallow covered her mouth and nose: "What's that smell? It's awful."

They slowly entered the ancient temple, when suddenly a sinister laugh echoed around them. "You've finally come, you've really walked right into our trap!" a voice came from the darkness.

Hongzhou shouted, "Who are you? Hiding your head and tail like that, what kind of hero are you!"

The voice rang out again: "Heroes? Ha! In this Shadow Order, there are no heroes, only victors!"

Little Swallow said angrily, "Your Shadow Society has committed countless evils, today is your doomsday!"

At this moment, several torches were lit, and they could see that the area around them was full of Shadow Society members, each holding a weapon and looking menacing.

The leader was a man wearing a black mask. He slowly said, "Little Swallow, Hongli, you think you can find out our secrets? You're too naive. You'll never know the secrets of this ancient temple!"

Hongli calmly replied, "You think this will stop me? I will uproot you all!"

Hongzhou grew impatient: "Stop wasting time talking to them, just attack!"

The two sides engaged in fierce combat once again. The confined space inside the ancient temple made the fight even more difficult. With her agile skills, Xiao Yanzi weaved through the crowd, delivering fatal blows to her enemies from time to time.

Hongli observed the situation from the sidelines and noticed that the Shadow Society members seemed to be attacking according to some kind of formation. He shouted loudly, "Everyone, don't panic! They have a formation! Break the formation first!"

Upon hearing this, Hongzhou shouted, "Alright, we'll do as my elder brother says. Let's concentrate our forces and attack one place!"

With everyone working together, they gradually broke through the Shadow Society's formation. Seeing that things were going badly, the masked leader tried to escape.

Little Swallow, quick-witted and agile, exclaimed, "Trying to run away? Not so easy!" and gave chase.

Hongli and Hongzhou followed closely behind. In the backyard of the ancient temple, they finally cornered the leader.

Little Swallow said breathlessly, "Let's see where you can run now!"

The leader scoffed, "Even if you capture me, you can't stop the Shadow Society's plans. The conspiracy behind this is far bigger than you imagine!"

Hongli stepped forward: "Whatever the conspiracy, I will not let it succeed. Tell me, what exactly does the Shadow Society want?"

The leader merely sneered and remained silent. Hongzhou angrily said, "Brother, why waste words with him? Just take him down!"

Just as they were about to take action, the ground suddenly began to shake, and cracks appeared in the surrounding walls.

Little Swallow exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on?"

The leader burst into laughter: "You will soon learn the secret of this ancient temple, but you will also be buried here forever!"

Can they escape the collapse of the ancient temple? What exactly is the grand conspiracy mentioned by the leader of the Shadow Society? Everything becomes unpredictable in this life-or-death moment, and their fate is tightly bound by this unknown danger. The road ahead is shrouded in mist, and they cannot see the direction.
