Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

After saying that, the man in black robe waved his hand, and a powerful force attacked Lu Yuan and Lin Qingxue.

Lu Yuan quickly protected Lin Qingxue behind him. At the same time, the internal energy in his body circulated wildly, preparing to resist the attack of the man in black robe.

However, the strength of the man in black robe far exceeded Lu Yuan's imagination.

Lu Yuan's true energy collapsed instantly like paper in front of the black-robed man's power.

"puff!"

Lu Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Qingxue screamed, threw herself on Lu Yuan, and cried, "Lu Yuan, how are you?"

The man in black robe walked towards Lu Yuan and Lin Qingxue step by step, his eyes full of mockery.

"Now, do you have any last words?" asked the man in black robe.

At this critical moment, a jade pendant suddenly fell out of Lu Yuan's arms, emitting a faint golden light...

The golden light flashed, and the jade pendant fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, but it exploded like thunder in the ears of the black-robed man. He suddenly stopped, and the playful look in his eyes faded, replaced by deep fear. Lu Yuan endured the severe pain and squinted at the jade pendant - it was something he got by chance when he was young, and he never paid attention to it, but at this moment it exuded a powerful aura that was unfamiliar to him.

The black-robed man's hoarse voice trembled a little: "This... this is... the Tianyuan Jade Pendant!"

Lu Yuan's heart was moved. Tianyuan Jade Pendant? This jade pendant that he had never paid much attention to actually had such a background? He pretended to be calm and snorted coldly: "Are you afraid now? It's too late!"

The man in black robe was obviously weighing the pros and cons. He stared at the jade pendant, then looked at the seriously injured Lu Yuan and Lin Qingxue, greed and fear intertwined in his eyes. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Humph, even if you have the Tianyuan jade pendant, what's the use? Today, you can't escape!" After that, he attacked again, but this time the attack was obviously much more cautious, no longer as arrogant as before.

Lu Yuan cursed inwardly, "Old fox!" This man in black robe clearly wanted to test the power of the jade pendant! He protected Lin Qingxue behind him, and his true energy circulated. The Tianyuan jade pendant shone brightly, forming a golden barrier that blocked all the attacks from the man in black robe.

"How is this possible?!" The man in black robe was horrified. Although he had held back in this attack, it was not something that ordinary people could resist. The defensive power of this jade pendant was so amazing!
Lu Yuan was secretly delighted. It seemed that this Tianyuan Jade Pendant was a treasure! He supported his weak body and pretended to be relaxed: "Now you know my strengths and weaknesses, right? Get out of here if you know what's good for you!"

The black-robed man's face changed from gloomy to bright. Finally, he glared at Lu Yuan fiercely, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

"Huh..." Lu Yuan let out a long sigh and sat on the ground, feeling weak all over. Lin Qingxue quickly supported him and asked with concern: "Lu Yuan, how are you?"

Lu Yuan waved his hands and forced a smile: "It's okay, I won't die."

Lin Qingxue's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been hurt."

Lu Yuan gently stroked Lin Qingxue's hair and said softly, "Silly girl, what are you talking about? Protecting you is what I should do."

The two of them sat in each other's arms. The cave was silent except for the sound of each other's breathing. Lu Yuan looked at the Tianyuan jade pendant in his hand and fell into deep thought. What was the origin of this jade pendant? Why did it have such a powerful power?
After resting for a while, the two supported each other and left the cave. The world outside was still a vast snow-capped mountain, and the cold wind was howling, making the two shiver.

"Where are we going now?" Lin Qingxue asked. Lu Yuan looked into the distance, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Go to Tianyuan City!" He knew that only by finding more information about the Tianyuan Jade Pendant could he unlock the secret.

The two of them trudged along the way, with wind and snow, and the road was dangerous. Lin Qingxue's injuries had not yet healed, and the cold and hunger made her even weaker. Lu Yuan saw it with his eyes and felt pain in his heart. He took off his coat and put it on Lin Qingxue, hugged her tightly in his arms, and warmed her with his body temperature.

"Lu Yuan, I... I'm cold..." Lin Qingxue said weakly.

Lu Yuan hugged her tighter with concern and said, "Hold on, Qingxue, we will find the shelter soon."

At this moment, a dilapidated temple appeared in front of them. The two were ecstatic and ran over quickly. The door of the temple was closed, and Lu Yuan pushed it open with force, and a musty smell hit him in the face.

The temple was empty except for a broken Buddha statue standing quietly in the center of the hall. The two found some dry firewood and started a fire, which finally dispelled some of the cold.

"Lu Yuan, look!" Lin Qingxue suddenly pointed at the wall behind the Buddha statue and said.

Lu Yuan followed Lin Qingxue's gaze and saw a strange pattern engraved on the wall. In the center of the pattern was a jade pendant, exactly the same as his Tianyuan jade pendant!
Could it be that... there is some connection between this and the Tianyuan Jade Pendant? Lu Yuan was full of doubts. He carefully observed the pattern and found some words engraved around it.

"This is...ancient writing!" Lu Yuan exclaimed. He had seen this kind of writing in an ancient book before, but it had been lost for many years. He didn't expect it to appear here!
Lu Yuan struggled to decipher the text, and finally, he translated the entire paragraph:
"The Tianyuan Jade Pendant is an ancient artifact that contains supreme power. If you get it, you can get the world. However, the jade pendant has a spirit and chooses its master to serve. Only those who are destined to get it can get it. If you force it, you will be retaliated."

Seeing this, Lu Yuan was shocked. It turned out that the Tianyuan Jade Pendant was so powerful! He looked at the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the temple...

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Lu Yuan clenched the Tianyuan jade pendant in his hand and looked at the door vigilantly. A shadow flashed by, and a man in black appeared in front of the two of them. He was tall, with a stern face and a murderous look in his eyes.

"Who are you?" the man in black asked coldly.

Lu Yuan took a step forward, stood in front of Lin Qingxue, and said in a deep voice: "I'm a passerby, please stay for one night."

The man in black sneered: "Passersby? I think you are here to steal something!"

Lu Yuan was shocked. Could it be that he knew the secret of the Tianyuan Jade Pendant? He tried to remain calm and said, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. We just got lost and want to rest here."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The man in black drew out his sword and pointed it at Lu Yuan. "If you know what's good for you, hand over the treasures on you!"

Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold, it seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable. He protected Lin Qingxue behind him and said, "Qingxue, stay away."

Lin Qingxue looked at Lu Yuan worriedly and said, "Lu Yuan, be careful!"

Lu Yuan nodded, his Qi surged in his hands, ready to fight. The man in black sneered, and his figure flashed, turning into a black shadow and attacking Lu Yuan. (End of this chapter)
