Dapeng's Time Travel Life
Chapter 98 Secret Exploration: Four Perils
After the brief moment of victory and joy following the battle, Qingfeng Sect quickly fell into a state of intense preparation. Zhang Peng knew that the mysterious organization would not let the matter rest, and an even greater storm might be brewing.
In the days that followed, Zhang Peng secluded himself in his cultivation chamber, studying the mysteries of the Five Elements Spirit Pearl day and night. Within the chamber, multicolored light flickered intermittently, accompanied by intense fluctuations in spiritual energy. Zhang Peng attempted to explore the connection between the Five Elements Spirit Pearl and the mysterious organization through deep communication with it. However, each time he felt he was about to grasp the truth, that clue vanished like a candle flame in the wind.
Meanwhile, the elders of Qingfeng Sect were also interrogating the woman in black robes. However, the woman in black robes seemed to have been prepared, and apart from what she had already given, she provided no further valuable information.
"This woman is very tight-lipped. The mysterious organization behind her must have given her special training to prevent her from leaking secrets," Elder Xuanfeng said solemnly in the council hall.
Qingfengzi nodded slightly: "It seems we have no choice but to approach this from another angle. I have already arranged for my disciples to secretly gather information about the mysterious organization throughout the cultivation world."
Zhang Peng emerged from the secret chamber, his face slightly weary, but his eyes shining with determination: "Elder, I want to personally investigate the clues of the mysterious organization. Perhaps only I can unravel the connection between the Five Elements Spirit Pearls and them."
Elder Xuanfeng looked at Zhang Peng with worry in his eyes: "Zhang Peng, although you are strong, the mysterious organization is too mysterious, and this trip is fraught with danger."
Zhang Peng cupped his hands and said, "Elder, rest assured, I will act carefully. Moreover, I am not alone; Li Ming, Lin Wan'er, and Su Yao will accompany me. We will look after each other and will surely return safely."
Ultimately, Elder Xuanfeng and Qingfengzi agreed to Zhang Peng's request. Before their departure, the elders prepared various elixirs and magical treasures for them, and instructed them to be extremely careful.
Zhang Peng and his group of four followed the ancient path of the cultivation world, heading in the direction where the mysterious organization might appear. Along the way, they endured wind and rain, sleeping in the open, not letting go of any possible clues. However, after many days of searching, they still found nothing.
One day, they arrived at an ancient town. The town was bustling with people, but Zhang Peng keenly sensed an unusual atmosphere. He noticed that some people in the crowd had strange expressions and wary eyes, as if they were deliberately hiding something.
"Everyone be careful, there might be something wrong here," Zhang Peng whispered to his companions.
The four men walked casually through the town, secretly observing the movements of suspicious individuals. Suddenly, one of the suspicious men seemed to notice their gaze and quickly turned and left.
"Follow him!" Zhang Peng immediately ordered. The four men quickly weaved through the crowd and followed closely behind the man.
The man led them to an abandoned house and then suddenly disappeared. Zhang Peng and the others cautiously entered the house, where they found it filled with an old, worn atmosphere and utter silence.
"Be careful, it might be a trap," Li Ming said warily.
Just then, the mansion gate suddenly slammed shut, and countless black threads surged from the ground, wrapping around them. Zhang Peng and the others quickly cast spells to defend themselves, their multicolored light, sword energy, and magical light intertwining in an attempt to sever the black threads.
However, the black threads were inexhaustible and extremely resilient, making their attacks seem to have little effect. Worse still, as time went on, they discovered that these black threads contained a strange power that was gradually eroding their spiritual energy.
"What the hell is this thing?" Lin Wan'er shouted anxiously.
Zhang Peng's expression was solemn. While fending off the attacks from the black threads, he tried to find a way to break the spell. Suddenly, he felt the Five Elements Spirit Pearl vibrate slightly, as if it were conveying some kind of information to him.
Zhang Peng concentrated his mind and, following the guidance of the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, unleashed a unique fluctuation of spiritual power. In an instant, the black threads seemed to be drawn by some powerful force, surging towards the Five Elements Spirit Pearl.
"Don't panic, everyone, watch this!" Zhang Peng shouted, raising the Five Elements Spirit Pearl high. The moment the black threads touched the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, they were quickly absorbed into it and disappeared without a trace.
As the black threads disappeared, the gate to the mansion slowly opened. Zhang Peng and the others cautiously stepped out of the mansion, only to find that the suspicious person had vanished without a trace.
"It seems this mysterious organization was prepared for our arrival," Su Yao said, frowning.
Zhang Peng clenched his fist: "No matter how many traps they set, I will not give up. We must uncover the true face of this mysterious organization and stop their conspiracy."
Just as they were about to continue their exploration, Zhang Peng suddenly sensed a familiar aura emanating from afar. He was startled; this aura was actually related to the mysterious force they had encountered in the Qingfeng Ancient Realm.
"Come on, follow me!" Zhang Peng immediately chased after the direction from which the aura was coming. The four of them traversed the town and soon arrived at the foot of a secluded valley. A mysterious mist permeated the valley, and an eerie light flickered faintly within the mist.
