Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

This group of black shadows were as silent as ghosts. They approached step by step, with black mist surrounding them, making the entire space even more depressing and uneasy.

"What are these?" Zhu Linlang asked in a low voice, holding the sword tighter in her hand, and the tip of the sword trembled slightly.

The man in green had a solemn expression on his face. He blew the jade flute quickly. The sound was sharp and rapid, as if he wanted to disperse the dark shadows, but it had little effect.

"These are monsters from the abyss, summoned by some force." The man in green explained briefly, and a talisman appeared in his hand. He quickly threw it at the nearest shadow.

The talisman burst into dazzling light in the air and hit one of the black shadows. The black shadow let out a shrill scream and then turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated.

However, the remaining shadows did not retreat, but instead pounced forward even more violently.

"Everyone stand back to back and be careful!" Fang Yue shouted loudly. He swung his sword at a black shadow that was rushing towards him. The sword flashed like lightning and split the black shadow into two.

Zhu Linlang and the Princess of Great Chu also fought on their own. Their figures shuttled through the dark shadows, the light of swords and magic intertwined into one, barely resisting the attack of the dark shadows.

The sound of the green-clothed man's flute rang out again. This time the tune he played was more complex, and the sound waves seemed to contain some mysterious power, which slowed down the movements of some of the black shadows.

"Hurry up, my flute sound can only suppress them temporarily!" said the man in green as he retreated deeper into the passage.

Fang Yue and the others did not dare to neglect and followed the man in green, fighting and retreating. However, the number of black shadows seemed endless, and they came from all directions, making the retreat more and more difficult.

"This is not a solution. We must find a way out!" Fang Yue said anxiously.

The man in green nodded, and suddenly stopped, closing his eyes to sense something. After a moment, he opened his eyes and pointed to an inconspicuous corner on the left side of the passage.

"There is a hidden exit there, which is our only hope!" said the man in green firmly.

Everyone was inspired upon hearing this, and they all rushed in the direction pointed by the man in green. However, the shadows seemed to have noticed their intentions, and their attacks became more fierce.

"Hold on, we must get out!" Fang Yue roared, his sword flashing like a dragon, constantly slashing at the black shadow that was rushing towards him.

The man in green led the way, his steps light and swift. Fang Yue and the others followed closely, not daring to slack off even for a moment.

An eerie silence filled the passage, with only the sounds of people's footsteps and slightly heavy breathing.

"May I ask your name? I will always remember your help." Fang Yue asked tentatively.

The man in green did not turn around, but said calmly: "Let's leave here first."

Although Fang Yue had many questions in his mind, he said no more.

Suddenly, three forks appeared ahead.

The man in green paused for a moment and then chose the middle one.

"This..." Zhu Linlang hesitated.

"Believe him." Fang Yue said.

As they continued to move forward, they felt the atmosphere around them became increasingly eerie.

"Where does this lead to?" The Princess of Da Chu couldn't help but ask.

The man in green remained silent, but quickened his pace.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew by, bringing a hint of chill.

"Oh no, something's happening!" Fang Yue vigilantly clenched the sword in his hand.

I saw a group of dark shadows slowly walking out of the darkness. Their faces could not be seen clearly, but they exuded a dangerous aura.

"Be careful!" the man in green finally spoke.

Fang Yue and others were on high alert, ready for a new battle.

The shadows slowly approached, and every step seemed to carry the threat of death. Their figures loomed in the darkness, like ghosts, making people feel cold.

"Everyone, get ready. We can't retreat this time!" Fang Yue shouted loudly, with a determined look in his eyes. He knew that there was no way out at this moment, and the only way to survive was to fight hard.

Zhu Linlang and the eldest princess of Da Chu also held their swords tightly, their eyes were equally determined. They knew that this was a life-and-death battle, and only by trying their best could they defeat these terrifying monsters.

The green-clothed man's flute sounded again, this time the tune was more passionate, and the sound waves contained a powerful force. The sound of the flute was like a sharp blade, penetrating the shadows' defenses and making their movements slow and clumsy.

"Go!" Fang Yue gave an order, and everyone rushed towards the black shadow. The light of swords and magic intertwined into one, illuminating the darkness. They fought fiercely with the black shadow, and every move contained the power of life and death.

The battle was extremely brutal, but the people became more and more courageous. They knew that only by defeating these monsters could they find a way out and escape from this horrible place.

Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, the shadows were defeated one by one. They turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated in the air. Everyone was wounded and stood there panting, looking at each other, with the joy of victory flashing in their eyes.

"We succeeded!" Zhu Linlang shouted excitedly.

The man in green nodded slightly. His face was still solemn, but a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. He knew that although this battle was difficult, they finally defeated the monster and found a way out.

"Let's go quickly. It's not advisable to stay here for long." The man in green said as he walked deeper into the passage.

Everyone followed closely behind, knowing that even though they had defeated the monster, this place was still full of dangers. They had to leave as soon as possible and find a safe way out.

Led by the man in green, the group passed through the winding passage and finally came to a bright exit. They walked out of the exit and looked at the sunshine and blue sky outside, their hearts filled with joy and relief for having survived the disaster.

"Thank you for your help. I will never forget this kindness." Fang Yue said gratefully.

The man in green smiled faintly and said, "You're welcome. We are just taking what we need."

Fang Yue looked at the man in green with doubt and asked, "I wonder what you mean by 'each taking what he needs'?"

The man in green had a deep gaze and said slowly, "The secret hidden in this True King's secret collection is related to the general situation of the world. What I want may be different from yours, but in this dangerous journey, our goals are temporarily the same."

The Princess of Great Chu frowned and said, "What exactly do you want to do? Why don't you just tell me."

The man in green was silent for a moment, then said, "I am looking for a lost treasure. It is said that it is hidden deep in the secret storage of the True King. Your presence has made my search more possible."

Zhu Linlang said vigilantly: "Then why do you want to help us? Aren't you afraid that we will become an obstacle to you?"

The man in green smiled and said, "In this dangerous place, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Besides, without you, I will have a hard time dealing with all those crises."

Fang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, what are your plans next?"

The man in green looked up at the sky and said, "I will continue to look for the treasure. As for you, take care of yourselves."

After saying this, the man in green turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Fang Yue shouted, "If we meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you for your kindness today."

The man in green waved his hand, and his figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Fang Yue and others looked at the direction where the man in green left, silent for a long time.

"Let's go too, and leave this troubled place." said the eldest princess of Da Chu.

Fang Yue nodded, and then the three of them set out on their return journey.

~~~~~~~
at the same time.

Yang Chan ran all the way, his heart filled with humiliation and anger. He had never thought that his carefully planned operation would fail so miserably. Not only did he fail to seize the treasures in the True King's secret collection, but he also almost died at the hands of those terrifying monsters.

What made him even more unbearable was that all these frustrations were caused by that damn guy Fang Yue.

After returning to Zhenbei City, Yang Chan immediately summoned his trusted subordinates and recounted the details of the operation.

His words were filled with growing hatred for the other party, and every word seemed to carry a flame, burning his sanity.

"Fang Yue, you despicable villain, I will make you pay the price!"

Yang Chan roared, with crazy flames flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn the whole world to ashes.

His men looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never seen Yang Chan so angry.

They knew that this incident was a huge blow to Yang Chan, and Fang Yue had become an indelible hatred in his heart.

"Sir, what should we do now?" one of the subordinates asked cautiously.

"What should we do? Of course we should take revenge on Fang Yue!"

Yang Chan gnashed his teeth and said, "I want him to know how miserable the fate of offending me, the Champion Marquis, is."

He began to frantically plan a revenge plan, every detail of which was filled with viciousness and cruelty. He wanted Fang Yue to pay a heavy price and make him regret everything he had done.

Yang Chan paced back and forth in the room, his mind in a mess.

"I don't know what tricks Fang Yue used to ruin my plans time and time again." Yang Chan slammed his fist on the table.

A confidant said, "Sir, why don't we send someone to assassinate him in secret?"

Yang Chan glared at him and said, "Foolish! With Fang Yue's current strength, who can kill him if he rashly assassinates him?"

Yang Chan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Then we can set a trap for him and lure him into the trap." Another confidant suggested.

Yang Chan frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Fang Yue is extremely cautious, so ordinary traps may not work."

At this time, a confidant who looked like a counselor stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Sir, we can start with the people around him. For example, his family or close friends."

Yang Chan's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated again: "Is it a bit dishonorable to do this?"

The counselor said quickly: "Sir, those who achieve great things do not care about small details. As long as the goal can be achieved, what does a few means matter?"

Yang Chan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. But this must be done in secret, and Fang Yue must not be notified."

The counselor nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. We will act carefully."

Yang Chan sat down again, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes: "Fang Yue, let's see how you can escape this time."

At this time, Fang Yue, who knew nothing about Yang Chan's conspiracy, was on his way back with the Princess of Da Chu and Zhu Linlang.

"This experience was truly thrilling." Princess Da Chu sighed.

Fang Yue smiled and said, "But we also gained a lot. At least we got to see the mystery of the True King's secret treasure."

Zhu Linlang interrupted, "I just don't know what Yang Chan will do when he returns."

Fang Yue frowned slightly: "No matter what he does, we just need to be prepared."

Fang Yue's words made the Princess of Da Chu and Zhu Linlang fall into deep thought. They knew that Yang Chan would never give up, and this failure would only make him seek revenge more frantically.

"We must always remain vigilant and not let Yang Chan take advantage of any opportunity." Princess Da Chu said in a firm tone.

Zhu Linlang also nodded in agreement: "That's right, we must strengthen our defenses, and at the same time, we must also find ways to improve our own strength, so that we can better cope with future challenges."

Fang Yue smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with confidence: "Don't worry, I have my own plan. If Yang Chan wants to take revenge, we have to see if he has the ability to do so."

In the following days, Fang Yue, the Princess of Da Chu, and Zhu Linlang all began intensive training and preparation. They not only improved their martial arts and magic, but also strengthened the protection around them to prevent any accidents.

On the other hand, Yang Chan was also busy planning his revenge plan.

He sent his trusted men across the Shiwan Mountains and into the Wei Dynasty to secretly investigate Fang Yue's family and look for a suitable opportunity to attack.

at the same time.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang have arrived at a small town near the capital of the Great Chu State.

Although this small town is not big, it is very lively. Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang found an inn in the city to rest for a while.

"After all this running around, I can finally take a good rest." Zhu Linlang said, rubbing her shoulders gently.

Fang Yue nodded slightly and glanced across the lobby of the inn, but there was still a trace of vigilance in his heart.

These past few days, they have been living a rare peaceful life in the small town.

During the day, Fang Yue would stroll on the streets with Zhu Linlang, feeling the bustling atmosphere of this small town.

The street vendors were shouting and selling all kinds of novelty gadgets. Zhu Linlang would sometimes be attracted by some small ornaments, and Fang Yue would buy them for her with a smile.

At night, they sat on the roof of the inn, looking at the starry sky and talking about their future plans.

"Fang Yue, do you think we will encounter so many dangers in the future?" Zhu Linlang asked softly.

Fang Yue held her hand and comforted her: "No matter what, I will protect you."

Then, the next few days.

Fang Yue began to check the box that he brought out from the True King’s secret collection.

Fang Yue carefully placed the box on the table and carefully observed every detail of it. The surface of the box was engraved with mysterious and complex patterns, as if it contained some unknown power.

He gently stroked the edge of the box, trying to find the mechanism to open it. Zhu Linlang watched nervously from the side, not daring to breathe.

Fang Yue tried various methods, inputting internal force, turning, and knocking, but the box remained motionless.

"This box is so mysterious, how do I open it?" Fang Yue frowned and fell into deep thought.

Zhu Linlang said: "Will it require a specific formula or token?"

Fang Yue shook his head: "I have no clue at the moment, but I feel that there must be something extremely important hidden in this box."

At this moment, the box suddenly trembled slightly and emitted a strange light.

"What's going on?" Zhu Linlang exclaimed.

Fang Yue also widened his eyes and stared at the box.

The light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire room. Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang subconsciously shielded their eyes with their hands. (End of this chapter)
