"I'm always by your side." Wu Zhou responded firmly.
At this moment, their sense of justice drove them forward, fearless of danger and hardship. They marched shoulder to shoulder into the depths of the town, vowing to wipe out the evil and save those shrouded in darkness.
Wu Zhou was also deeply touched by Wang Xiaojiu.
This is the first stage, and we must move forward courageously for the sense of justice in our hearts.
The trial before Chapter 138?
In the ever-changing scene, the figures of Wu Zhou and Wang Xiaojiu reappeared.
This time, they were sitting in a quiet clearing in the woods, surrounded by lush trees. The sunlight shone through the treetops, casting spots of light, as if giving this communication a warm atmosphere.
"Junior brother, have you heard the secrets of the Blood Sun Sect?" Wang Xiaojiu frowned slightly, a determined light flashing in her eyes. She gently stroked the weapon in her hand with her fingers, as if she was brewing something important.
Wu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I've heard that the Xueyang Sect has been secretly plotting something big. It seems that their goal is not only power, but also a threat to the entire cultivation world."
"Yes."
Wang Xiaojiu's voice was sonorous and powerful: "We must investigate thoroughly and not let their conspiracy succeed. In order to protect the country and the people, we must go undercover in the Xueyang Sect and find out the real information."
"But, entering the Xueyang Sect is too dangerous."
Wu Zhou's voice was filled with hesitation, and a fear of the unknown was rising in his heart. "What if we are discovered...we..."
"If we don't go, more innocent people will be hurt."
Wang Xiaojiu interrupted him, her gaze sharp as a torch, staring directly into Wu Zhou's eyes. Her voice was filled with determination and strength: "We can't just sit back and do nothing! If everyone chooses to run away, who will fight for justice in this world?"
Wu Zhou's heart tightened. He looked at Wang Xiaojiu's face, which looked like a god in the sunlight, and suddenly an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
His senior sister, with her strong sense of justice and fearlessness, always seemed to bring him hope and courage in times of crisis. He knew that his feelings for her had long surpassed the friendship between a senior and a junior.
"I understand your feelings, but I... I'm really a little scared." Wu Zhou lowered his head slightly, his tone was a little fragile, and he seemed a little shaken.
Seeing him like this, Wang Xiaojiu frowned slightly, then softened his tone: "Wu Zhou, fear is human nature, but we can't retreat because of it."
"Remember, a true warrior is one who chooses to move forward in the face of fear. We are monks, shouldering the mission of protecting all living things. If we give up, more people will fall into despair."
Wu Zhou was moved by her determination, and the uneasiness in his heart began to waver. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "You are right, Senior Sister. To protect everyone, I am willing to take this risk with you."
"Very good." Wang
Xiaojiu smiled with relief, her eyes gleaming with hope. "We can gather some intelligence ahead of time, find a point of entry, and develop a detailed plan. We must be careful not to be detected by the Blood Sun Sect."
As the two communicated, Wu Zhou's heart was no longer just filled with fear, but courage gradually ignited.
He decided not to retreat, but to fight alongside Wang Xiaojiu. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, how do you think we should start?"
"First, we need to investigate the members of the Xueyang Sect and find their weaknesses."
Wang Xiaojiu thought seriously: "Also, we can contact some of the outer disciples of the Xueyang Sect and see if we can learn some secrets from them. The most important thing is that we must hide our identities so that they won't find out."
"In this case, our time is quite tight."
Wu Zhou nodded, secretly glad to be fighting alongside her. His gaze fell on Wang Xiaojiu's face, sensing her determination and righteousness, and his fear was gradually replaced by trust in her.
"Yes." Wang Xiaojiu smiled faintly, her expression revealing a sense of determination and courage. Her smile was like the warm spring sun, dispelling the haze in Wu Zhou's heart. At this moment, he felt an impulse and courage he had never felt before.
"No matter how hard it gets, we will never give up on each other."
Wang Xiaojiu's voice was soft but firm: "Because we are fighting on the same front. Only by uniting as one can we overcome all difficulties."
"I will go with you. No matter what happens, I will protect you!" Wu Zhou clenched his fists, a fire burning in his heart. He knew that the choice he made at this moment would change their fate, and he would no longer be the monk who feared the unknown.
"Alright! Then let's fight for justice together!" Wang Xiaojiu raised her chin, her eyes determined and fearless. Wu Zhou felt an unprecedented passion surge in his heart, as if all his fears had been dispelled by her courage.
At that moment, sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting a shadow upon the two of them, as if blessing their decision. Wu Zhou, by this moment, had already made up his mind: no matter how many dangers lay ahead, he would bravely face them hand in hand with Wang Xiaojiu.
The scene changes...
Wu Zhou and Wang Xiaojiu stood at the Xueyang Sect's recruitment site, surrounded by a bustling crowd, the atmosphere both heated and tense. Disguised as new disciples applying for the position, they were filled with both anticipation and trepidation.
Wang Xiaojiu's eyes were firm, while Wu Zhou felt vaguely uneasy, silently repeating in his heart, "As long as I persist, I will succeed."
"I heard that the competition for new recruits here is quite fierce, so we must perform well." Wang Xiaojiu whispered to Wu Zhou, his tone full of determination.
"I knew we couldn't let this opportunity slip away."
Wu Zhou tried to calm himself, but suspicions kept welling up in his heart. He recalled the intelligence he had gathered before coming here, and he couldn't help but... When they entered the recruiting area, they saw a magnificent square. The high walls and luxurious buildings around it all showed the size and luxury of the Xueyang Sect.
Every applicant seemed cautious, fearing they would be screened out accidentally. On a nearby notice board, the requirements and rules for new hires were listed one by one.
In the end, they acted according to their own ideas and headed straight for the inner gate of the Xueyang Sect. Along the way, Wu Zhou tried his best to appear calm and composed, but he was always alert to the changes around him.
However, what followed was an intense sense of loss. He knew in his heart that this choice might only be the beginning of endless despair. As the two anxiously awaited the results of the assessment, everything around them began to blur, and Wu Zhou was overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of fear.
Finally, at the moment the assessment results were announced, Wu Zhou and Wang Xiaojiu found themselves surrounded, and all their options seemed too late. He was filled with regret and despair, wanting to cry out, but found his voice suppressed deep in his throat, unable to utter a single word.
"Welcome, welcome to the Xueyang Sect." The cold voice sounded, and Wu Zhou and Wang Xiaojiu came to their senses, realizing that they had fallen into a trap and become pawns.
"We... are being monitored." Wu Zhou felt heavy in his heart, and he felt that his choice was like a nightmare.
Wang Xiaojiu held Wu Zhou's hand tightly, his eyes revealing an unyielding strength: "No matter what happens, we must face it together."
At this moment, Wu Zhou felt a surge of despair and helplessness in his heart. He began to miss his previous choices and wondered if there would be a different ending if he had not followed Wang Xiaojiu but chosen another path.
Luo He and Wang Xiaoke looked at these scenes and understood something instantly.
Isn’t this the trial they went through before?
Chapter 139: Qing Emperor's Inheritance
"What are these?" Wang Xiaoke looked puzzled.
It was unknown when her original injury and poisoning condition disappeared, and her whole body recovered to its original state.
Although Wang Xiaoke has returned to normal, she is still leaning on Luo He's back and does not get down.
I want to just lie down and lean against Luo River.
"These all look very familiar, like what we've experienced in previous trials."
Luo He watched the fragments of images transmitted to him, and could sense the regret and annoyance of the young man named Wu Zhou.
Inside the Xueyang Sect, Wu Zhou and Wang Xiaojiu originally thought that they were lurking in the dark, but in fact they had already been surrounded by heavy ambushes.
With the sudden attack, the surroundings instantly became chaotic. As Wu Zhou and Wang Xiaojiu were surrounded by the masters of the Blood Sun Sect, their hearts were instantly filled with despair.
"Hurry, run over there!" Wang Xiaojiu pulled Wu Zhou without hesitation and rushed towards a relatively safe direction with all his strength.
However, the disciples of the Xueyang Sect who surrounded them were obviously well prepared. With swords flashing, they pounced on the two men like hungry wolves.
Wu Zhou felt a surge of fear in his heart, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind—
They had only intended to gather intelligence, but they hadn't expected to find themselves in such a dangerous situation. He followed closely behind Wang Xiaojiu, feeling a surge of anxiety. He knew they had no choice but to fight tooth and nail.
"Sister, we can't give up!" Wu Zhou shouted, desperately trying to boost his and his sister's morale. The roars behind them were getting closer and closer, forcing them to quicken their pace.
In a fierce battle, Wang Xiaojiu tried his best to resist the incoming attack, but the number of enemies was obviously far beyond their expectations.
Seeing this, Wu Zhou became increasingly uneasy, and he became increasingly aware of the seriousness of the situation.
"Go! I'll hold them off!"
Wang Xiaojiu turned back, her eyes determined. She knew that if she continued to delay, she would only bring herself into greater danger.
Wu Zhou panicked, his voice trembling: "You...how can I leave you?"
"This is our only chance!" Wang Xiaojiu roared, her sword flashing across the air, forcing back one attacker. Her face was covered in sweat, and she exuded fatigue, but her gaze remained firm.
When Wu Zhou saw this scene, his heart ached instantly. He couldn't bear the idea of giving up his senior sister.
After a moment's hesitation, Wang Xiaojiu pushed Wu Zhou away forcefully: "I'll buy you some time, you must escape!"
Her words revealed great determination, as if she had already made up her mind.
"But, you...you will die!" Wu Zhou's voice was full of panic and anxiety. He was unwilling to believe all this, and his heart was full of worry about his senior sister.
"Stop talking and listen to me!"
Wang Xiaojiu's eyes revealed a trace of unyielding expression: "This is the best way. Don't worry about me, go!"
Wu Zhou's heart was beating violently, and Wang Xiaojiu's voice kept echoing in his mind. He understood that this was indeed the wisest choice at the moment.
"Okay, I'll run away, but you have to wait for me!"
"Go quickly!" Wang Xiaojiu finally let go of the last bit of worry in her heart. Facing the enemy's attack, she attacked with all her strength, the sword flashed, and she covered the direction of Wu Zhou.
Wu Zhou instantly cast aside all his fear and anxiety and turned to run deeper. Every step felt like it was tearing at his heart. He knew Wang Xiaojiu would buy him time, and he had to survive.
"Senior Sister, I will definitely come back to save you!" His voice echoed in the air, filled with despair and unwillingness, but the sounds of fighting and sword lights around him seemed to be mocking his incompetence.
However, despite Wu Zhou's desperate efforts, his heart remained restless. Wang Xiaojiu's image lingered in his mind, her smile and her strength forming an unbearable burden in his heart.
At this moment, Wang Xiaojiu was accidentally injured by a master while fighting with the enemy. Her leg was cut by a sharp blade and blood was flowing. She endured the pain and kept following Wu Zhou's back with her eyes.
She knew that she had to hold off the enemy for a short period of time to give Wu Zhou more chances to escape.
"Damn it!" Wang Xiaojiu was furious. She used up her last bit of strength to cut down the enemy in front of her, but new enemies swarmed in. She was filled with helplessness. She knew that everything she did was to protect Wu Zhou, but now she had no way to retreat.
In the following battle, Wang Xiaojiu became more and more exhausted. Blood continued to seep from her legs, and the poison spread throughout her body. She felt her consciousness begin to blur, and the surrounding environment was gradually distorted.
Just when she was about to give up, an indomitable force surged in her heart. She used up her last bit of strength and shouted in the direction of Wu Zhou: "Go! I will hold them back!"
Wu Zhou suddenly felt a pang of heartache while running away. He stopped, turned around, and couldn't help but shout, "Senior Sister!"
But he knew that there was nothing he could do at the moment.
"Wu Zhou, go quickly!" Wang Xiaojiu's voice echoed in his ears, as if telling him that no matter what happened, he must survive.
Wu Zhou gritted his teeth and struggled immensely in his heart, but he finally chose to move forward despite the pain. The guilt in his heart surged like a tide, as if to drown him.
After escaping the encirclement, Wu Zhou collapsed to the ground, his heart filled with worry and self-blame for Wang Xiaojiu. He looked back, and the scene of the battle seemed shrouded in blood, the air thick with the scent of death. He couldn't believe he had escaped, and she might never see it again.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and Wu Zhou's heart was filled with despair and helplessness. His thoughts kept swirling, and the figure of Wang Xiaojiu kept appearing in his mind.
Those determined eyes, that brilliant smile, and her words "Go quickly" at the critical moment of life and death. Every time I think of them, it hurts.
"I...I can't do this."
Wu Zhou muttered to himself, his heart filled with self-blame and guilt. He imagined countless times whether the outcome would have been different if he had been braver or more decisive.
He shook his head desperately, trying to dispel these useless thoughts, but the pain in his heart still followed him.
Later, Wu Zhou gradually rose to prominence in the cultivation world, becoming a rising genius. But no matter how many honors he received or how many goals he achieved, the scar in his heart would never heal.
Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, or when he heard others talking about brotherhood, the guilt would surge over him like a tide and drown him.
He often dreamed of Wang Xiaojiu. In his dreams, she was still the brave and determined woman, as if she had never left.
However, when he woke up from his dream, the cruel reality always made him feel heartbroken. Wu Zhou began to pray for her silently during every practice, hoping that she could be safe and happy somewhere.
"I will definitely find you," Wu Zhou silently said to himself. He knew this wasn't just a promise to Wang Xiaojiu, but also a promise to himself, a promise he couldn't untie. No matter how difficult it was, he wouldn't give up the chance to find her.
As time passed, Wu Zhou gradually became a legend in everyone's hearts, but the loneliness and regret in his heart always remained. On countless quiet nights, he would still sit by the window, looking at the stars, missing the sister who had fought alongside him.
In his heart, he was always concerned about her safety and longed for the day when he could see her again.
This emotion became an eternal regret in Wu Zhou's heart. He understood that although he was going further and further on the path of cultivation, the years they had experienced together would always be the softest part of his heart and could never be erased.
No matter how many storms he encounters in the future, he will remember Wang Xiaojiu's teachings and efforts and continue to move forward in the direction of light.
Luo He and Wang Xiaoke quietly watched the scene appearing before them. Everything that the young man from Wuzhou had experienced in his practice and sacrifice filled their hearts with a pale sense of regret.
Wu Zhou's courage and determination, and his deep affection for his senior sister Wang Xiaojiu, all remind them of what is most precious when facing life and death.
"This person... would rather give up everything for the one he loves." Wang Xiaoke whispered, his eyes slightly moist.
I felt emotional when I saw Wang Xiaojiu.
"Yes." Luo He nodded, his heart filled with admiration and regret for Wu Zhou's experience. They understood that this was not just the story of one person, but also the profound reflections on sacrifice and love in the hearts of countless monks.
Back in the present, the Green Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the two of them calmly. His aura was like the stars in the sky, deep and elusive.
Luo He suddenly felt that the Green Emperor in front of him seemed to have built a bridge between them, connecting the regrets of the past with the choices of the present.
"Senior, so the trial we are experiencing is what you have experienced before?" Luo He was not stupid and instantly understood Qingdi's intention.
"Yes."
The Green Emperor nodded slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "I've been convincing myself that this was the best option. Lurking, spying, waiting for an opportunity. I thought this was the way to protect myself and others."
His voice was low and heavy, as if he was recalling the choice he had made back then: "But in that process, I lost a lot and missed out on things I should have cherished. I hoped to use this as a price to bring about some changes, but I didn't expect to be trapped in that vortex forever."
