Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

"They are demon cultivators!" the mysterious woman said in a low voice, "They want to take over our bodies."

The leading demon cultivator laughed loudly and said, "You mortals dared to break in here. You are really courting death. Hand over your bodies and we will kill you."

"Don't even think about it!" Xiao Ran glared at him, and in a flash he rushed forward, the dagger in his hand shining coldly, going straight for the enemy leader's throat. At the same time, Zhao Yunlong was not to be outdone, wielding his long sword, shuttled through the enemy group like a flying dragon, and each slash was carried with the force of thunder.

However, these demon cultivators were not ordinary people. Not only were they numerous, but each of them was also very skilled and could perform all kinds of strange magic. Suddenly, the entire battlefield was filled with the sound of magical energy colliding and weapons clashing. For a moment, sparks flew everywhere and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Hmph, you don't know your own strength!" A demon cultivator sneered, and with a wave of his hand, a black smoke swept over, and Xiao Ran's legs were immediately entangled, unable to move. On the other side, Zhao Yunlong was also gradually losing the upper hand in the fierce battle with two powerful opponents. His arms had been cut several times, and blood stained his clothes red.

At this critical moment, the mysterious woman who had been concentrating on treating Lin Feng suddenly looked up and looked around. "I need some time to set up a defensive barrier." She reminded loudly, "Hold on!"

After that, her fingers quickly drew complex rune patterns on the ground, and she chanted ancient spells at the same time. A gentle but powerful force slowly rose from the ground, enveloping everyone. The demon cultivators outside stopped their actions, with surprise on their faces.

"What is this?" one of them asked in confusion.

"Protection circle!" Zhao Yunlong took the opportunity to get rid of his opponent and quickly returned to the team. "Take advantage of this moment to counterattack!"

After getting a chance to catch his breath, the disadvantageous situation was reversed. Xiao Ran also struggled to break free and stood up, with a murderous look in his eyes. "It's my turn..." He took a deep breath, and the whole person seemed to enter a mysterious state in an instant. When he attacked again, the speed was completely different from before. Instead, he used an unimaginable fast and continuous attack, catching the surrounding enemies off guard and causing them to be defeated one after another.

Just as the situation was gradually developing in a direction that was favorable to the few people, more demon cultivators suddenly appeared from a corner not far away. This time, the number of them that appeared was even larger than the initial number, and it was obvious that they were waiting for the best time to launch an attack.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunlong's heart sank. "Why are there so many?"

"It seems that they deliberately set up a trap to lure us in." The mysterious woman frowned and analyzed, "But we have no way out. The only way is to break through their defenses."

"Then proceed as planned." Xiao Ran nodded in agreement. "I'll try to distract attention, and you and that guy will be responsible for leading Brother Lin to break through. Remember, don't look back."

After saying this, he moved quickly across the battlefield like an invisible wind. Every time he stepped on the battlefield, there would be screams - either some unlucky person would suffer fatal injuries, or the entire space would collapse due to structural damage caused by the fluctuations in his aura...

In the midst of this chaos, Zhao Yunlong and the mysterious woman took the opportunity to carry the injured Lin Feng and carefully evacuated the scene along the predetermined route. Although they still encountered many obstacles along the way, they finally arrived at the scheduled meeting place safely with the tacit cooperation of each other.

"Did we do it?" After finally escaping from danger, Zhao Yunlong asked while panting and looking around.

"It's safe for now." The mysterious woman breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "But for some reason, I feel like this won't end so easily..."

"Let's just focus on the present first." Xiao Ran just returned at this time, "Those guys may not be able to catch up with us for a while, but we can't guarantee that they will send other people to surround us."

"Then we should leave this place quickly and find a suitable place to treat Brother Lin." Zhao Yunlong agreed immediately after hearing this. The three of them looked at each other and then sped up and continued to move forward, disappearing into the depths of the night. Only the silent and deserted ruins were left to witness the fierce battle just now...

The mysterious woman looked around, a trace of alertness flashing in her eyes. "We have to find a safe place." She whispered, "This place is not far from their lair, they will catch up soon."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Xiao Ran tightened the broken knife in his hand, and said firmly, "Let's go!"

The three of them quickly passed through a ruin and carefully walked along the path. The night was as dark as ink, with only a few faint starlights illuminating the road ahead. There was an air of uneasiness in the air, as if something ominous was about to happen.

Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed a few meters in front of them. It was a tall demon cultivator, emitting a black aura and his eyes flashing red.

"Still want to run?" The demon cultivator sneered, with a ferocious smile on his lips.

"You two take Brother Lin and go first!" Zhao Yunlong shouted, swinging his sword, and a bright light instantly illuminated his face. He rushed towards the demon cultivator, and the sword in his hand stabbed out like lightning, and for a moment, silver light shone everywhere, and the cold air was pressing.

"I will stop him, you guys hurry up and leave!" Zhao Yunlong shouted, and every sword he struck carried the force of thunder.

"Don't be impulsive!" The mysterious woman looked at him worriedly, but she also knew that now was not the time to hesitate. "Follow me!"

Xiao Ran nodded, carrying the unconscious Lin Feng on his back and followed her. The two of them quickly passed through a narrow alley, trying to escape the pursuit of the demon cultivators. However, just when they thought they were temporarily safe, more shadows emerged from all directions and surrounded them.

"I didn't expect you to be so cunning, but that's all." Another tall and mighty demon cultivator stepped forward and said, his eyes full of mockery and ridicule.

The mysterious woman frowned slightly, and lightly touched the ground with her fingers. Another protective circle quickly formed. "This thing can only last for a while. We must find a way to break through the siege during this time!"

"Good idea!" Xiao Ran agreed, "but we need more power." He closed his eyes and began to meditate, with a faint blue light emanating from his body. When he opened his eyes again, he was already filled with an indescribable sense of power. "I'm ready, let's do it!" The two of them attacked at the same time, and a series of attacks poured down like a rainstorm, dispersing the enemies in front of them. At the same time, the demon cultivators who were hiding in the dark and observing the situation were all shocked - they thought that the prey that was originally thought to be easy to catch had become so powerful?
Zhao Yunlong was not to be outdone. With his own strong strength and years of experience, he did not give in even when facing many powerful enemies. "Humph, you want to catch us with this little ability? You're just dreaming!" He then did another beautiful somersault to avoid the fatal attack.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, a roar was heard not far away, as if some powerful being was approaching this side...

"That's..." After hearing the sound, the mysterious woman showed a rare look of surprise on her face, and then she was attracted by some unknown force and couldn't move her feet. "Be careful!" Seeing this, Xiao Ran hurriedly stood in front of her to prevent any possible danger from hurting her companions.

Just as everyone was nervously responding, they saw a ball of golden light approaching gradually, and finally stopped a few meters in front of them, transforming into a dashing and handsome man. "It's you, little guys, don't be afraid, uncle will come to help you out."

The powerful yet gentle aura emanating from this person made people feel very reassured. More importantly, his appearance obviously made those already aggressive demon cultivators feel fearful.

"Who is this guy?" Zhao Yunlong couldn't help but ask curiously. After all, it is rare to find someone who can appear at a critical moment and have the ability to change the situation of the battle.

The mysterious woman's eyes flickered. "I once heard the teacher mention a legendary powerful person who is said to be able to easily resolve various crises and provide guidance and protection to others. Perhaps... this is him?"

The man in gold smiled slightly, and did not directly respond to the question. Instead, he raised his palm and cast circles of warm light around him, driving away all the haze and evil energy. Instantly, the entire space became extremely bright. Even the demon cultivators who had been so arrogant before seemed to have their mobility restrained by something. They fell to the ground one by one, wailing in pain until they completely lost their fighting power.

"Thank you for your help, senior!" Xiao Ran and the others hurriedly thanked him respectfully after seeing this, and secretly felt lucky that they had finally gotten out of their predicament. "May I ask how we can arrange to completely escape from here and return to the outside world?"

"Don't worry." The man in gold clothes waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be too formal. "Since I have chosen to help you, I will naturally take you away from this troubled place safely." He then added, "But before that, it would be safer to find a hidden place to rest and regroup before making any plans."

"Good idea!" Xiao Ran nodded in agreement, "And we also need to take this opportunity to heal Brother Lin's injuries."

So, under the guidance of this sudden expert, Xiao Ran and his companions quickly found a relatively hidden cave with a good environment suitable for recuperation. After entering, the mysterious woman immediately began to cast a healing spell, hoping to help her companions regain consciousness as soon as possible...

Time passed quietly, and as Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, everything finally began to move in a good direction. At this moment, although the road ahead was still full of unknown risks and challenges, for the group of people who had gone through many trials and tribulations and established deep friendships with each other, these were no longer insurmountable difficulties...

When Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, the surrounding scene gradually became clear. The firelight in the cave illuminated several familiar faces. Xiao Ran was standing beside him, looking at him with concern, and the mysterious woman was kneeling beside him, with a faint blue light still remaining in her hands.

"How do you feel?" Xiao Ran asked softly.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and tried to sit up. "Much better... Thank you." He looked at the mysterious woman gratefully, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have..."

"You're welcome, we're a team." She smiled, but there was a hint of melancholy in her smile.

At this time, the man in gold walked into the cave. He looked around and nodded in approval: "It's relatively safe here. At least there won't be any pursuers here for the time being."

Zhao Yunlong stepped forward and bowed respectfully to him. "Senior, what exactly is the Heavenly Emperor inheritance you mentioned? We need more power to fight against those demon cultivators now."

"Good question, kid." The man in gold smiled slightly, "In fact, that inheritance is not accessible to ordinary people. Even for me, I only got a hint of entering its secret realm by chance not long ago."

"What kind of inheritance is so difficult to approach?" Xiao Ran asked puzzledly.

"Legend has it that there once existed a supreme ruler on this continent, a man known as the 'Emperor of Heaven'. Before he ascended to heaven, he left behind some precious legacies for future generations to continue his great vision, including but not limited to secret manuals of martial arts, spiritual equipment, and a deeper understanding of the rules of the world," the man in gold explained. "However, it is not easy to obtain this gift. First, you must find the entrance signs hidden in various places and activate them in the correct way; second, you must pass a series of trials to prove that you are qualified to inherit this great power."

"Then how do we find this entrance?" The mysterious woman pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Don't worry." The man in gold took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to everyone present. "According to the information I have, there is a key to the place where the Emperor of Heaven has left his legacy hidden somewhere in the nearby mountains."

The three of them gathered together to study the ancient map carefully. They saw that it was covered with all kinds of line symbols, and there were several specially marked locations in the middle with conspicuous signs.

After some discussion and analysis, everyone finally reached a consensus and decided to set out early tomorrow morning to find the specific location of the secret base. "I hope it can bring us unexpected gains." Xiao Ran looked at the ceiling and whispered to himself before going to bed.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the valley, the four companions were ready to go. They followed the winding path deep into the heart of the dense forest, encountering many difficulties and obstacles, but they still encouraged each other to overcome them together.

After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at our destination - a small cave that looked quite ordinary but was actually full of mystery.

"Is this the entrance?" Zhao Yunlong frowned and looked around. "Why is there no special sign?"

"It's really not obvious." Xiao Ran was also confused, "Could it be that we are in the wrong place?" (End of this chapter)
