Mo Wenjie took a deep breath and looked at Huang Ling'er and said, "Thank you so much this time. Without your magic assistance, it would be difficult to do it so smoothly." Huang Ling'er smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Mo, you are also very capable. If it weren't for your careful thinking and discovering the danger, we might not even have the chance to respond." The two looked at each other and laughed, creating a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.
At this time, heaven gradually returned to its former hustle and bustle. The streets were crowded with cars and people coming and going, as if the potential disaster had never existed. Mo Wenjie, however, had a subtle sense of worry in his heart. He well knew that the seemingly calm surface of heaven concealed hidden currents. He turned to Huang Ling'er and said: "Spirit Girl, although the current incident has been solved, we cannot lower our guard. I feel there is a bigger conspiracy behind."
Huang Ling'er's eyes grew resolute, and she clenched her fists, "Brother Mo, no matter what happens in the future, as long as we fight side by side, we will surely turn dangers into good fortune. Don't keep worrying so much." Mo Wenjie gazed at the vibrant city, nodding silently. He knew that it wasn't easy to guard the Tao of Heaven and maintain peace!
"Ling'er, thank you," Mo Wenjie said. "With you by my side, I believe we can overcome any difficulties."
Huang Ling'er smiled slightly, "Brother Mo, you don't need to thank me. We are Dao couples, and this is what I should do."
Just then, a rumbling sound erupted in the sky. Mo Wenjie looked up and saw a massive black cloud flying towards them.
"Oh no, they are enemies!" Mo Wenjie said, "Ling'er, we have to hide quickly!"
Huang Ling'er nodded, following Mo Wenjie to hide behind a huge rock. The black cloud slowly descended, and a group of people in black uniforms emerged from the cloud.
"Who are they?" Huang Ling'er asked.
"They are from the dark forces," Mo Wenjie said. "They have been searching for a mysterious energy that is said to make them incredibly powerful."
"What should we do?" Huang Ling'er asked.
"Everyone need not worry so much!" Mo Wenjie comforted with an air of calm determination. His deep and resolute gaze seemed to pierce through the thick mist ahead, bringing a touch of hope and courage to the group, "Right now, all we need to do is to find ways to delay the enemy. As long as we can hold them off, the dawn of victory will surely break. Have faith, the female heroes Jinsan Xianzi, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Ya Wen, Ding Yan, and Tuobai Yingying will definitely arrive like divine soldiers from heaven to save us."
Mo Wenjie paused for a moment, raised his voice slightly and continued, "Golden Silk Goddess possesses mysterious and unpredictable bug arts, her methods are so high-level that they're amazing; Jiang Yurou is proficient in swordsmanship, her sword moves are as fierce as hurricanes and rainstorms; Xiao Yawen is witty, often able to come up with brilliant strategies at crucial moments; Ding Yan is strong and brave, can rush around the battlefield fearlessly; As for Tuoba Yingying, she's more than adept at various magic arts, her power is astonishing. With such a powerful lineup as our backup, what are we afraid of when it comes to getting ourselves out of trouble? So let's not be worried or anxious anymore. Huang Ling'er, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, let's work together to tackle our current predicament!"
However, the group of black-clad men did not rush to attack. They formed a line and an elderly man in a black robe stepped forward. "Mo Wenjie, surrender the power of the Celestial Crystal, or today will be your death day." The voice of the black-robed elder was hoarse, conveying a sense of coldness.
Mo Wenjie was shocked. He had never expected that the mysterious power they were looking for was the power of the Celestial Crystal, which was related to the safety of heaven. He couldn't possibly hand it over."Humph, you dream," Mo Wenjie answered loudly.
After hearing this, the black-clad men launched an immediate attack. Mo Wenjie and his companions rose to resist. Huang Ling'er unleashed one defense spell after another, but their opponent's attack was fierce.
In the critical moment, a streak of golden light flashed from afar, and the Golden Silk Goddess arrived first. She waved her hand, and countless bugs flew towards the black-clad men. Then, Jiang Yurou's sword Qi pierced towards the enemies like a rainbow piercing the sun. Xiao Yawen also cleverly used the terrain to set traps. Ding Yan charged into the enemy ranks and knocked back any enemies who came close. Tuoba Yingying unleashed a powerful spell, creating a dazzling light show for a moment.
Just as everyone worked together and cooperated closely, the originally fierce and ferocious attacks from the black-clad men gradually became weak. Their techniques were no longer as aggressive as before, and their momentum was far less. The black-robed elder who had been observing the battle secretly saw this and realized that the situation was lost. If they continued to fight, it would be a long shot that they would survive. Therefore, he made a quick decision and thought about fleeing.
As they spoke, the moment was fleeting! Mo Wenjie, who had been lurking on the battlefield, caught this brief instant with agility and speed. He took a deep breath, gathered all his spiritual energy into his palm, and without hesitation, unleashed a powerful spell with all his might towards the black-robed elder who was about to flee.
All of a sudden, a loud "bang" could be heard. That spell hit the black-robed elder directly in the back, like a bolt of lightning. The black-robed elder let out an agonizing scream and stumbled forward a few steps before falling heavily to the ground. However, he was not someone to be easily defeated. Despite his severe injury, he still had enough cultivation to keep himself from losing his mobility. He gritted his teeth and struggled to get back on his feet, signaling the remnants of his army to retreat immediately.
These black-clad men, sensing danger, followed the example of the black-robed elder. They each cast various spells to escape. Some turned into a wisp of green smoke, while others directly employed teleportation magic, disappearing from sight in an instant. The black-robed elder, who was in a terrible state due to his injuries, wasted no time but took off with the rest of them, transforming into a dark cloud of smoke and fleeing miserably towards the distance.
Looking at the retreating figures of the enemies, everyone heaved a long sigh of relief. After a fierce battle, each person felt exhausted both physically and mentally, but fortunately, they had managed to successfully repel the invaders.
However, Mo Wenjie was well aware that this battle was only the beginning. As the saying goes, "Big trees attract wind." Although they had managed to repel these enemies for now, there was no guarantee that other forces would not disturb them in the future. Therefore, they had to be extra careful and vigilant in the days to come, and take all necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
Mo Wenjie surveyed his tired comrades and declared, "Everyone, go back and rest and regroup. I will stay behind to check for any overlooked dangers." The crowd nodded and left. Mo Wenjie walked alone on the battlefield, suddenly noticing an odd-looking stone emitting a faint glow. As soon as he picked it up, the stone seemed to blend with his body. A fragment of ancient memory surged into his mind. It was a clue about the hidden secrets of the Celestial Crystal Power, which seemed to be linked to an ancient sect as well.
Mo Wenjie decided to follow the clue to uncover the truth, and he called his companions to inform them. Huang Ling'er was worried, but Mo Wenjie was resolute. They set out on a journey and arrived at an ancient cave in a desolate mountain. The cave was filled with a mysterious aura, and its walls were covered in inscriptions. As they studied the inscriptions, many puppets surged out from all around. The group quickly engaged in battle, but the puppets kept coming endlessly.
Mo Wenjie inwardly reflected, "This seems to be a stern test of our resolve and determination!" Thinking about this, he took a deep breath and tried to calm down his heart, which had become somewhat agitated. Then, he closed his eyes and began to recall the unique methods he had once memorized for guiding the power of the Celestial Crystal.
Time seemed to freeze in that moment, making the whole world exceptionally quiet. Just then, Mo Wenjie suddenly opened his eyes wide and quickly formed a series of complex and mysterious seal gestures with his hands. With him chanting incantations under his breath, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly burst forth from his body.
In a flash, a dazzling beam of intense light shot out like lightning, directly towards the horde of ferocious and clawing puppets. A series of crackling sounds could be heard, and those seemingly indestructible puppets were instantly shattered by the force of the beam, disintegrating into countless fragments that dispersed into the air.
After successfully repelling the troublesome puppets, Mo Wenjie and his companions did not stop for a moment, but continued to move forward without hesitation into the depths of the cave. They knew that although they had just won a small victory, the road ahead was still full of endless unknowns and difficult challenges. However, facing all these potential challenges, their eyes remained firm and unwavering, without showing the slightest hint of fear or retreat.
As they continued to delve deeper, the light within the cave grew dimmer, and a foul odor permeated the surroundings. Suddenly, a giant spider fell from above their heads. It was covered in sharp spikes and its eyes glowed with a sinister green light. Mo Wenjie shouted: "Look out!" The group scattered quickly.
Huang Ling'er formed seals with her hands and shot several flames at the spider, which dodged agilely and spat out silk. Jiang Yurou slashed with her sword to cut the silk, and Xiao Yawen took the opportunity to throw a talisman onto the spider, which caused it to move more slowly.
Mo Wenjie took advantage of the moment and gathered his spiritual energy into his fist, striking the spider's head with all his might. The spider was enraged after being hit and let out a fierce roar, its body swelling several times larger. Just as everyone thought they were about to engage in a fierce battle, Mo Wenjie noticed a glowing point on the spider's abdomen, which seemed to be its weakness.
He directed his companions to attack that area together. Ding Yan picked up a massive boulder and threw it, while Tuoba Yingying used magic to accelerate the boulder. The boulder hit the glowing spot, causing the spider to crash to the ground.
Mo Wenjie wiped the sweat beads from his forehead with a sleeve, took a deep breath, composed himself, and turned to shout to the people behind him, "Let's give it all we've got! We're almost there!" With that, he took the lead and continued to lead the group forward with difficulty.
After not knowing how long, the group finally arrived at a cliff face. What they saw was a smooth and shining cliff surface, as if it had been polished by someone carefully. In the center of the cliff face stood a large stone door, which looked incredibly heavy and seemed to bear the weight of centuries' worth of history and mystery.
Everyone gathered around curiously, examining the stone door in front of them. At this point, someone noticed that the door was inscribed with countless ancient characters. These characters were winding and convoluted, resembling the tracks left by earthworms. They were hard to decipher and difficult to understand their meaning. However, these seemingly chaotic characters emitted an inexplicable aura, as if harboring colossal secrets.
Mo Wenjie gazed at the ancient characters on the stone door, furrowing his brow in deep thought. After a moment, he suddenly seemed to understand something, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes. Turning to the others, he said: "I think this stone door is the key to revealing the secrets of the Celestial Crystal Power! As long as we can decipher the meaning of these characters, perhaps we can find a way to obtain the power of the Celestial Crystal!" Hearing this, everyone was inspired and filled with hope and expectation.
