Chapter 680 Entering Yunyin Villa! Blood Moon Cult?
Luo Chen was moved when he heard this.
He also had a strong interest in cultivation.
Moreover, he had heard a little about the legend of Yunyin Villa. It would be a great thing if he could see it with his own eyes.
So, he nodded and said, "Since Brother Liang has such aspirations, how can I, Luo Chen, sit idly by? We can go together so that we can take care of each other."
Liang Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Brother Luo is so righteous. Liang is very grateful. With Brother Luo's company, this trip will be smoother."
The two of them had decided on the plan, and left Nanqi City early the next morning and embarked on the journey to Yunyin Villa.
......
About a few days later.
The two had already arrived outside the villa.
They saw clouds and mists in front of them, and the mountains were looming, like a fairyland.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked at each other, and they saw excitement and expectation in each other's eyes.
They stepped into this mysterious area carefully, fearing that they would disturb the tranquility here.
However, just as they were about to approach the villa, a clear sound of swords suddenly sounded, followed by a sword light that cut through the sky like lightning and headed straight for the two of them.
Seeing this, Luo Chen and Liang Qi quickly used their body skills to dodge, while looking around vigilantly.
A young man in white clothes and holding a long sword walked out of the clouds.
He slowly said, "Who are you two? Why did you trespass into Yunyin Villa?"
Luo Chen hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am Luo Chen, this is Liang Qi. The two of us are here to explore the true meaning of martial arts. We have no ill intentions. I hope you will be lenient."
The young man in white heard this and his eyes condensed slightly, as if he was examining the two of them.
After a moment, he slowly put away his sword and said in a deep voice: "Yunyin Villa is an extraordinary place. Outsiders are not allowed to enter at will."
"But considering your sincerity, I can take you to see the owner of the villa. As for whether the owner is willing to take you in, it depends on your luck."
Luo Chen and Liang Qi were overjoyed to hear this and hurriedly thanked him.
Afterwards, under the leadership of the young man in white, they passed through layers of clouds and mist and finally came to the core area of Yunyin Villa, a courtyard surrounded by a sea of flowers.
In the center of the courtyard, an old man with white hair and beard was resting with his eyes closed, as if he was isolated from the world.
The young man in white stepped forward and reported the situation softly. The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Luo Chen and Liang Qi with a sharp gaze.
After a moment, the old man smiled and said, "You two are young and promising, and you have the ambition to learn martial arts. It is rare."
"Although Yunyin Villa is not a place where disciples are accepted casually, I see that you two have extraordinary luck today, and perhaps you are destined to be with the villa."
"Let me give you a chance. If you pass the trial of the villa, you can stay in the villa to learn martial arts."
Luo Chen and Liang Qi were excited and nervous when they heard this.
They knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and they must go all out.
So, the two of them saluted respectfully to the old man, expressing their acceptance and expectation of the trial.
The old man nodded and signaled the attendant beside him to lead them to the trial site.
The trial site is located in the back mountain of the villa. There is a dense forest there. It is said that there are countless mechanisms and monsters hidden there. Only by passing many tests can you prove your courage and wisdom.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi stepped into the dense forest side by side, and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere came to their faces.
The surrounding trees were towering and lush, almost covering the sky, with only mottled light and shadows jumping on the ground.
They knew that this would be an important turning point in their cultivation, so they were extremely cautious.
In the first level, they encountered a foggy area.
The fog was so thick that you could hardly see your hand in front of you, and there were many traps and illusions hidden in it.
Luo Chen relied on his keen intuition and extraordinary body skills to shuttle through the fog and avoid one trap after another.
Liang Qi used his familiarity with plants and trees to find the right direction by touching the texture and smell of the trees.
The two cooperated with each other and finally successfully walked out of the foggy area.
In the second level, they faced a group of monsters.
These monsters have different shapes, some are like tigers and leopards, and are extremely ferocious.
Some have strange shapes and are good at stealth and sneak attacks.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi each used what they learned to fight fiercely with the monsters.
Luo Chen's swordsmanship was sharp, and every sword accurately hit the monster's vitals.
Liang Qi, with his flexibility and wisdom, cleverly avoided the attacks of the monsters and looked for opportunities to deliver a fatal blow.
After a hard fight, they finally defeated all the monsters.
The third level, which is also the most difficult level, requires them to climb a steep mountain.
This mountain is not only steep and difficult to climb, but the top of the mountain is also covered by lightning all year round, and the slightest carelessness will crush them to pieces.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi supported each other, and with their tenacious will and unremitting efforts, they moved towards the top of the mountain step by step.
In this process, they encountered countless dangers and challenges, but they overcame them all with wisdom and courage.
Finally, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on their tired but determined faces, they knew that they had successfully passed the test.
Back in the courtyard, the old man was already waiting there.
He looked at Luo Chen and Liang Qi, who were covered in dust and exhausted, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
He said slowly: "Your performance exceeded my expectations. Not only did you show extraordinary courage and wisdom, but more importantly, you showed tacit understanding and unity among each other."
"Yunyin Villa welcomes you to join us."
As the old man finished speaking, Luo Chen and Liang Qi felt indescribable excitement and joy in their hearts.
They looked at each other and smiled, their eyes shining with infinite longing for the future.
In the following days, Luo Chen and Liang Qi began their new life of practice at Yunyin Villa.
There are many masters in the villa, and there are a dazzling array of martial arts secrets. Every day is full of challenges and opportunities.
Luochen was assigned to the Sword Pavilion, which was where the masters with the most exquisite swordsmanship gathered in the villa.
Under the guidance of the sword pavilion elders, he systematically learned various sword techniques, from basic sword moves to advanced sword intentions, taking every step solidly and resolutely. Luochen's talent and diligence were highly praised by the elders. His swordsmanship became increasingly refined and he gradually became prominent in the villa.
Liang Qi was introduced to the owner of Yaowang Valley.
Yaowang Valley is the place in the villa responsible for refining elixirs and inheriting medical skills.
Liang Qi's deep understanding of vegetation made him at home in Yaowang Valley.
Not only did he master the identification and medicinal properties of various herbs in a short period of time, he also began to learn to refine elixirs.
With the passage of time, Liang Qi's medical skills and alchemy skills have made great progress, and he has become a leader in the Medicine King Valley.
In addition to their respective trainings, Luo Chen and Liang Qi often compete in martial arts together and exchange experiences.
Their friendship becomes deeper through their shared struggle and growth.
Whenever night falls, the two of them will sit in the courtyard, look up at the stars, and talk about their dreams and future.
However, the peace at Yunyin Villa did not last long.
One day, the villa suddenly received a secret letter from the outside world.
The letter mentioned that an evil force was secretly rising in an attempt to invade this area, and Yunyin Villa was not spared.
In order to deal with this crisis, the villa decided to send a group of elite disciples down the mountain to practice in order to hone their practical abilities and collect intelligence.
After Luo Chen and Liang Qi learned about this, they stood up without hesitation.
They know very well that as a member of Yunyin Villa, it is their unshirkable responsibility to protect the Villa and maintain the peace of the people nearby.
What's more, this experience is also a rare opportunity for growth for them.
...
late at night.
Yunyin Villa.
In a room.
At this time, Luo Chen was standing silently by the window, looking at the moonlight at this moment.
Liang Qi, on the other hand, stood beside him silently.
"Brother Liang."
Luochen broke the silence, his voice low and firm: "We are about to embark on an unknown journey. We may face unprecedented challenges, but I have you and Yunyin Villa as my backing. I believe we can overcome everything."
Hearing this, Liang Qi turned to look at Luo Chen, with the same determination and trust in his eyes.
"Brother Luo, since we met, we have gone through many ups and downs together."
"This downhill experience is just a stepping stone on the road to our growth. As long as we think in one place and work hard in one place, nothing can stop us."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Needless to say, the tacit understanding between them was deeply impressed in their hearts.
They know that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as they fight side by side, they have nothing to fear.
Early the next morning, the elite disciples who were about to go down the mountain gathered in the square of Yunyin Villa.
The old man and the elders of the villa stood on the high platform, with expectations and worries in their eyes.
They know that these young disciples will be the hope of the future of Yunyin Villa, but at the same time, they also know that the dangers in the outside world are far beyond what the Villa can match.
"Children."
The old man spoke slowly, with a deep and powerful voice: "You are about to leave the Villa to see the wider world, but please remember that no matter where you go, you are the pride of Yunyin Villa."
"Every bit of your growth will add brilliance to the Villa."
"We understand!"
The disciples answered in unison, and their voices echoed through the sky.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi stood among the disciples, their eyes full of determination and confidence.
They know that this downhill experience is not only a test of their strength, but also a tempering of their mind and will.
Following the order, the disciples embarked on their journey one after another.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi walked side by side, their figures gradually fading away in the morning light, leaving endless hope and expectation in Yunyin Villa.
The outside world is far more complex than they imagine.
Just after they came out, Luo Chen and others encountered a group of cult forces.
"Back off."
Beside Luo Chen, an elder from Yunyin Villa suddenly shouted loudly.
The people in front of me were dressed in black, with blood moon symbols embroidered on their clothes.
These people are undoubtedly members of the Blood Moon Cult.
The Blood Moon Cult, an evil force that has risen rapidly in this area in recent years, is world-famous for its cruel methods and weird techniques.
They act clandestinely and often launch attacks in the dead of night, making it difficult to guard against.
At this moment, the appearance of this group of Blood Moon cultists undoubtedly cast a shadow on Luo Chen, Liang Qi and others' journey down the mountain to experience.
Faced with the sudden threat, Luo Chen and Liang Qi quickly exchanged a look, and without any need to say anything, the two started taking action in tacit understanding.
Luo Chen stretched out his figure and rushed towards the cultist like an arrow from a string. The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and every swing of the sword was accompanied by a fierce sword wind, approaching the enemy's vital points.
Liang Qi followed closely behind. He did not directly participate in the battle, but used his deep understanding of plants and trees to quickly set up a simple trap array around.
Although these traps are simple, they can produce unexpected effects at critical moments.
Seeing this, the elders of Yunyin Villa also joined the battle.
They either swung their swords or used their fists and feet to engage in fierce confrontations with the cultists.
For a time, the square was filled with flashing swords and whistling fists, and the scene was extremely intense.
However, the strength of the Blood Moon cultists should not be underestimated.
There are many masters among them, who, with their strange body movements and fierce moves, fought hard with the disciples of Yunyin Villa.
What's more, some cultists can actually control poisons, making the disciples of Yunyin Villa defenseless.
At this moment, Luo Chen suddenly discovered a leader among the cultists.
This man was burly, with a hideous face, and a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.
He was an important leader of the Blood Moon Cult and the commander of this attack.
Luo Chen knew that as long as he could defeat this man, he could break the offensive of the cultists.
So Luo Chen suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the leader like lightning.
His swordsmanship was at its best at this moment. Each sword contained a majestic sword intent, which directly hit the opponent's vital points.
The leader was not to be outdone. He roared and waved the weapon in his hand to fight Luo Chen.
The confrontation between the two was extremely fierce. The sparks produced by the collision of swords and weapons splashed, shaking the entire square.
However, Luo Chen gradually gained the upper hand with his extraordinary swordsmanship and tenacious will.
He seized an opportunity and pierced the opponent's chest with a sword, finally knocking the leader to the ground.
As the leader fell, the offensive of the Blood Moon Cultists suddenly became chaotic.
They lost their command and became leaderless, and were soon defeated by the disciples of Yunyin Villa.
After the battle, the disciples of Yunyin Villa gathered together to celebrate this hard-won victory.
They looked at each other's scars and tired faces, and their hearts were full of pride and emotion.
And Luo Chen and Liang Qi smiled at each other, and the excitement in their eyes was self-evident.
......
In a blink of an eye, it was a few days later.
Outside Qingfeng City.
At this time, there were a large number of soldiers, fully armed, trying to maintain order at the city gate.
And countless people, at this time, wanted to squeeze into Qingfeng City like crazy.
"What's going on?"
Luo Chen looked at the people in front of him, and he couldn't help but whispered in confusion.
"Brother Luo, it seems that something happened in Qingfeng City."
Liang Qi frowned, observing the surrounding scenes, and whispered to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen nodded, and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
