As the words fell, a huge figure appeared at the end of the sight - it was a huge creature covered with golden scales, its size far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, and its two eyes burning with flames revealed endless majesty and power.

"Is this... the dragon clan?" Li Feng took a breath.

Su Yu shook his head solemnly: "No, it is more terrifying than the legendary dragon. It is the existence that guards the secrets of this place - the Yan Emperor Guard!"

Zhao Yunlong frowned, "In that case, let me stop it. The others should find a way to get in and find the Nine-Colored Lotus first!"

After saying that, he rushed forward to fight the giant beast without waiting for others to react. His double swords turned into two lightning bolts, leaving dazzling tracks in the air, trying to attract the opponent's attention.

"No! We can't abandon you!" Lin Feng shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry about me," Zhao Yunlong said in a low but firm voice, "This is the best opportunity! Get out of here quickly! Otherwise, it will be even more difficult when more dangers come!"

Tears welled up in Xueqi's eyes, but she knew now was not the time to be weak, "Take care!"

Li Feng patted his brother's shoulder heavily: "We will come back as soon as possible to help you solve all these troubles!"

After that, the three of them turned around and quickly walked along the secret passage they had just discovered. The loud crashing sounds and roars from the fierce battle between Zhao Yunlong and the Yan Emperor's guards echoed behind them...

They ran through the winding tunnel and finally arrived at a wide hall. In the center was an exquisite stone platform, on which was placed the purpose of this adventure - the nine-colored lotus.

Just when everyone was relieved, a cold laugh broke the silence, "Haha, congratulations on finding the treasure, but... it's time for us to perform."

As they were talking, dozens of figures in uniform black gathered around silently, and the man in the lead had a cruel smile on his face. "Since you have found such a rare treasure, there is no need to leave it alive for outsiders to know, right?"

Lin Feng turned around and glared at those unidentified people, while holding the weapon in his hand tightly: "Want to take away our hope? It's not that easy!"

The leading man in black smiled coldly: "It seems that you don't know how dangerous your situation is. Not only do we have the advantage in numbers, but our strength should not be underestimated." His eyes swept over everyone and finally stopped on Lin Feng, "Especially you, young man, your strength is okay, but in the face of absolute strength..." Before he finished speaking, he had already waved his right hand, and dozens of his men surrounded them in an instant.

Li Feng gripped the hilt tightly and whispered, "Are you ready?"

Xueqi nodded firmly: "We can't let them take away the Nine-Colored Lotus no matter what!"

Su Yu quickly raised the staff, and light emanated from the top again, forming a bright wall of light in the darkness. "I will try my best to delay their steps. Find a way to find the Nine-Colored Lotus."

Lin Feng gritted his teeth, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "If that's the case, then we can only fight head-on!" As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards the nearest enemy like an arrow from a bow. The long sword drew a string of afterimages in the air, and the opponent only had time to let out a short scream before falling to the ground.

On the other side, Li Feng and Xue Qi also used all their strength to resist the approaching attacks. The former rushed left and right with amazing explosive power and agility; the latter made full use of the terrain advantage to constantly harass the men in black, creating offensive opportunities for his companions while ensuring his own safety.

Suddenly, a steady voice sounded, "Children, just surrender." As the voice fell, an old man who looked to be about fifty years old slowly walked out of the crowd. This man had a kind face, but his brows revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Lin Feng asked cautiously, "Who are you? And why are you with these thieves?"

The old man smiled slightly: "I am Liu Yunhe, the elder of Tiangang Sect. As for the reason... it's very simple. This nine-colored lotus is of vital importance to us and must not fall into the hands of others." After saying that, his figure suddenly accelerated, and no one present could capture the specific location of his next move.

"Humph, it sounds very high-sounding, but in fact, you are just coveting the huge power behind it!" Lin Feng sneered, and then attacked Liu Yunhe with a backhanded sword. However, before the two sides really came into contact, the latter easily resolved it, "Young man, don't try to challenge the impossible."

Seeing that his side was at a disadvantage, Su Yu thought quickly and said, "Don't let him get close to that stone platform! We must protect the Nine-Colored Lotus!"

Just when everyone was focusing on the head-on confrontation, a long-hidden black-clad master took the opportunity to sneak attack Xueqi from behind. In the critical moment, Li Feng fought back several waves of attacks and hurried back to rescue his comrades: "Be careful behind!"

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous, Zhao Yunlong was still fighting fiercely with the Yan Emperor's guards outside and was unable to rush to help in time. The situation seemed to have reached a critical moment...

"Stop!" A roar echoed throughout the hall like thunder, interrupting everyone's fight. "Enough, there is no point in going on like this, it will only cause more unnecessary casualties!" Lin Feng said breathlessly, with sweat dripping down his forehead. At this moment, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to win, he had to find another way. It was obviously impossible to succeed if he continued to attack. "Liu Yunhe, tell me the truth, what does the Nine-Colored Lotus mean to you? Is it worth snatching in this way?"

Faced with the sudden questioning, the originally calm expression gradually withered, replaced by a rare solemnity. After a moment of silence, the old man slowly spoke: "Well... In fact, the Nine-Colored Lotus is not only one of the legendary sacred objects with the power to bring back the dead, but also carries the secrets that we have been pursuing for many years. According to ancient records, only this flower can activate a vital mechanism, thus opening the door to another world."

Hearing this answer, Lin Feng and the others couldn't help but feel their hearts beating wildly - it turned out that the goal they had been pursuing was actually related to such a grand and profound background! At the same time, they also understood why the other party wanted to stop others from approaching here at all costs. "So according to what you said, even if we get the Nine-Colored Lotus, we may not be able to leave here safely?" Li Feng asked calmly, not being suppressed by the other party's momentum but becoming more calm. "Perhaps we can try to cooperate once? After all, no one is sure to complete this task independently."

Liu Yunhe paused for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and sighed, "Ah, if it were really as you said... But now that things have come to this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the people above to change their minds. Besides, even if we are willing to compromise, we will be strongly opposed by other forces."

During the conversation, both sides remained on alert and did not dare to take it lightly. Just when the situation was about to reach a stalemate, a deafening roar was heard from outside. "Oh no, a new enemy has appeared!" I don't know when the melee broke out again, this time it was even more fierce and chaotic...

Everyone looked up at the entrance of the corridor and saw a group of people wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades rushing in. The leader was actually a powerful warrior who had met him several times before - Thunder Eagle!
"Have you traitors finally been caught? Hahaha!" He laughed wildly, but did not take any further action immediately. Instead, he quietly observed the situation on the scene, looking for the best entry point. Faced with such a powerful enemy, both the Tiangang Sect members and the protagonist team felt unprecedented pressure... "I didn't expect that even he would be involved in this dispute... What should we do next?" Xueqi asked in a low voice, looking at her partner with concern.

Li Feng frowned and responded in a low voice: "Now is not the time to think about these things. We must solve the crisis at hand first!" As he spoke, he took the lead in launching an attack towards Lei Ying and his group.

Liu Yunhe hesitated for a moment and followed closely behind: "Well, since there is no better way for the time being... let's work together to get rid of this guy first!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng's heart tightened, but he did not retreat. He knew that the current situation was not optimistic, and only by acting quickly could he gain the upper hand. He whispered to his companions: "Listen to my command, prepare for a sneak attack!"

Xueqi and Su Yu nodded at the same time, with a hint of determination in their eyes. Li Feng sneered, clenched the sword in his hand, and was ready to go.

Just as Lei Ying stepped into the hall, Lin Feng suddenly gave an order: "Go!"

As soon as the words fell, the four of them rushed towards the Thunder Eagle from different directions like arrows from a bow. Li Feng was the fastest, his figure passed through the air like a ghost, and his long sword drew a sharp light and went straight to the Thunder Eagle's throat.

However, Thunder Eagle was not an easy target. He seemed to have anticipated this, and he ducked suddenly, dodging the fatal blow, and threw a punch with his backhand. The force was so great that it actually created a shallow pit on the ground.

"Humph, you dare to use such a small trick to embarrass yourself!" Lei Ying roared, his eyes flashing with rage. He waved his fists and rushed towards the crowd like two angry beasts.

Xueqi quickly chanted a string of spells, waved her hands in front of her, and a cold breath spread. Several ice spikes fell from the sky and pierced the top of the Thunder Eagle's head. At the same time, Su Yu raised his staff high, and the light was bright, and countless light balls shot towards the Thunder Eagle.

Although Thunder Eagle was powerful, he was caught off guard by the sudden attack. The ice spikes and light balls hit him one after another, slowing his movements for a moment. At this moment, Lin Feng finally found a flaw. He rushed forward with all his strength and stabbed Thunder Eagle's thigh with the long sword in his hand.

Thunder Eagle let out a painful roar, blood gushed out, and he fell heavily to the ground. He gritted his teeth and looked at the enemies who dared to challenge him. His anger almost devoured his reason.

"Damn it... I'm going to kill all of you!" Thunder Eagle roared. Even though his wounds were bleeding, he still struggled to stand up.

At this time, Liu Yunhe had also arrived. There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but he finally chose to stand on Lin Feng's side. He said to the people around him: "Everyone be careful and alert, and be ready to support at any time!"

Just when the situation seemed to be about to turn around, there was another commotion outside. Soon after, more heavily armored warriors poured into the hall. Leading the way were two old men in gorgeous armor. Their aura was extremely oppressive, and was obviously much more powerful than that of the Thunder Eagle.

"Lei Ying, are you okay?" one of the old men asked with concern, his voice deep and powerful.

"I'm fine, they just hurt me temporarily." Lei Ying stood up with difficulty, pointed at Lin Feng and the others and shouted, "It was these guys who got all of us involved!"

The other old man looked around. When he saw the nine-colored lotus still lying on the stone platform intact, he smiled slightly, but his tone was full of threats: "Very good, since the thing is still there, no one can leave here easily today. Come on, capture these people."

Dozens of heavily armored warriors responded and moved, pressing towards the crowd like a steel torrent. Facing such a huge force, no matter how brave and fearless Lin Feng and his team were, they could not stop it. The situation became more and more serious, and every breath seemed to be a countdown to life.

Li Feng frowned as he looked at the approaching enemy and whispered, "We must find a way to break out, otherwise we will be completely surrounded and killed."

"But how do we get out?" Su Yu asked anxiously. The staff in her hand emitted an increasingly weaker light, obviously due to over-consumption.

"No matter what, we can't let the Nine-Colored Lotus fall into the hands of these evil people!" Xueqi said firmly.

At this moment, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to a hidden path: "If we go from there, we may be able to get to the safe exit at the back."

"This is the only way, hurry up and follow!" Li Feng grabbed Su Yu's arm and ran in that direction. Lin Feng and Xue Qi followed closely behind.

Just as everyone was running desperately, a heavily armored soldier discovered their tracks and immediately blew the whistle to warn them. "Oh no, we've been discovered!" Li Feng whispered, but his pace did not slow down at all.

Seeing this, Liu Yunhe no longer hesitated and immediately followed them with some strange steps. In a flash, several people disappeared at the end of the dark path, leaving behind only the chaotic hall and the sound of gradually approaching footsteps...

"They can't run for long!" The old man's sneer echoed in the hall, and then the whole space fell into unprecedented tension and panic.

Several people ran all the way through the narrow and dark corridor, trying to get rid of the pursuers behind them. However, those heavily armored warriors seemed to be omnipresent, always appearing in front of them at the most critical moment, blocking their way.

"No, if we go on like this we will be caught sooner or later!" Xueqi said breathlessly, her face covered in sweat.

Li Feng stopped and looked back: "We must find a way to delay them." (End of this chapter)
