The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 146 New Challenges

Although the conspiracy was crushed, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen knew that there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future. They decided to continue to work hard to practice and improve their strength to prepare for future challenges.

Yun Yao stood in the martial arts training ground, the breeze gently brushed her hair, her eyes revealed firmness and determination. Chu Mochen was wiping his sword, the blade flashing with cold light, as if foreshadowing that the future battle would not be easy.

"Yun Yao, although we have cracked the conspiracy this time, I always feel that things will not end so easily." Chu Mochen raised his head and said to Yun Yao.

Yun Yao nodded slightly, "I feel the same way. Now that those external forces have set their sights on our sect, they will definitely not give up easily. We must become stronger in order to deal with various situations that may arise next."

The two smiled at each other, knowing that they could not slack off on the road of cultivation. From that day on, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen devoted themselves to more diligent cultivation.

Yun Yao would come to the practice room early every day. She would sit cross-legged on the futon, close her eyes, and enter a meditative state. She would feel the flow of the surrounding spiritual energy through the guidance of the system, and then slowly introduce the spiritual energy into her body, running it through the meridians. In the process of practice, she constantly tempered her mental strength, trying to break through to a higher level. However, practice was not smooth sailing, and she would often encounter spiritual energy disorder. Whenever this happened, she would calm down, carefully recall the practice methods taught in the system, adjust her breathing and the rhythm of spiritual energy flow, and slowly overcome the difficulties.

Chu Mochen chose to practice actual combat in the back mountain of the sect. Holding a sword in hand, he attacked the trees and boulders in the mountains and forests. His swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and each move contained great power. He constantly practiced the moves and techniques of swordsmanship, striving to bring each move to its full potential. At the same time, he would simulate various enemies and situations that might be encountered in battle to exercise his ability to respond. During a practice, he encountered a powerful monster. The monster was huge, with thick skin and flesh, and had extremely strong attack power. Chu Mochen was not afraid. He used his strongest swordsmanship and fought a fierce battle with the monster. After a hard fight, he finally succeeded in defeating the monster, and he also gained valuable experience and insights in this battle.

In addition to daily practice, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen would also exchange their practice experiences with each other. They would discuss the problems and solutions encountered in practice together, and learn from each other's advantages and strengths. Yun Yao's practice method focuses on stability and delicacy. She would patiently analyze each practice link and find the most suitable method for herself. Chu Mochen paid more attention to actual combat and strength improvement. His experience and courage also gave Yun Yao a lot of inspiration. With mutual communication and help, their practice progress has been greatly improved.

As time goes by, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's strength gradually improves, but they are not proud and complacent. They know that in this world of cultivation full of unknowns and dangers, only by continuous efforts and progress can they truly protect themselves and the people around them.

One day, the elder of the sect called all the disciples together. The elder stood on the stage and said seriously: "Recently, we have received news that a mysterious force has appeared in the distant border area. This force has strange actions and seems to be planning some major conspiracy. We suspect that they may be related to the external forces that tried to rob our sect of ore before. In order to investigate the situation of this force, we need to send some disciples to the border."

Hearing the elder's words, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's hearts moved, and they realized that a new challenge was coming. They stood up without hesitation and expressed their willingness to go to the border to investigate.

The elder looked at them with admiration in his eyes, "Yun Yao, Chu Mochen, your courage and strength are obvious to all. However, this mission is very dangerous, you must be fully prepared."

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen replied firmly: "Don't worry, Elder. We will be careful and complete the task."

In the days before departure, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen worked even harder to prepare. They collected all kinds of information about the border areas, and learned about the geographical environment, climate conditions, and possible dangers there. They also prepared sufficient elixirs and magic weapons to deal with various situations that might be encountered.

Finally, the day of departure arrived. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen carried their bags, said goodbye to their fellow disciples and elders, and set off on a journey to the border. They slept in the open air, traveled day and night, and had only one belief in their hearts, which was to complete the mission and solve problems for the sect.

When they arrived at the border area, they immediately felt the difference between this place and the sect. The air here was dry and cold, with sandstorms everywhere. In the small town on the border, people's lives seemed to be affected by the mysterious force, and they seemed a little anxious.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen decided to ask for information in the town first. They walked into an inn, where there were only a few guests. The owner saw them coming in and greeted them warmly.

"Dear guests, do you want to stay in the hotel or have a meal?" asked the boss.

Yun Yao smiled and replied, "Let's stay in the hotel first and ask the boss about something."

The boss nodded and said, "Okay, both of you please follow me."

After arranging the room, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen sat in the lobby of the inn and asked the owner about the mysterious force.

The boss's face became a little serious. "You mean that mysterious force? They have been causing a lot of trouble in our area recently. They often appear at night, their whereabouts are mysterious, and no one knows what they are doing. A few young people in our town were curious and followed them out, but they never came back."

After hearing this, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen became more alert. They decided to go out and investigate at night to see if they could find some clues.

At night, the moonlight was like water. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen quietly left the inn and walked out of the town. They walked forward carefully, always paying attention to the movements around them.

As they walked, they suddenly heard a strange sound. The sound was low and hoarse, as if it came from underground. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, then walked towards the direction of the sound.

They came to a wasteland with a dilapidated temple. The sound came from the temple. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen slowly approached the temple and found that the door of the temple was closed and there were some strange symbols on the door.

Chu Mochen frowned, "These symbols look very strange, as if they are some kind of formation."

Yun Yao nodded and said, "Be careful, let's see if we can break this formation first."

They circled the temple, carefully observing the arrangement and pattern of the symbols. After some research, Yun Yao finally found a way to crack the formation. She used the knowledge she learned from the system to mobilize the spiritual energy in her body and attack several key positions of the formation.

With a loud bang, the formation was successfully broken. The door of the temple slowly opened, and a gloomy atmosphere came in. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen clenched their weapons and walked into the temple carefully.

The temple was filled with a pungent smell and the walls were covered with cobwebs. They searched the temple carefully and finally found the entrance to a basement in a corner.

The entrance was pitch black, and there was no bottom to be seen. Yun Yao took out a lighting bead from her bosom and illuminated the road ahead. They walked slowly down the stairs and entered the basement.

There were some strange instruments and bottles in the basement, and the bottles contained some unknown liquids that emitted strange light. In the center of the basement, there was a huge stone platform with complex runes engraved on it.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen walked forward and carefully observed the runes on the stone platform. Suddenly, the runes on the stone platform lit up, and a powerful force surged out from the stone platform, knocking the two of them away.

They fell to the ground, spitting out blood. Chu Mochen struggled to stand up, looking at the runes on the stone platform, his face became very ugly, "What on earth is this? How can it have such a powerful force?"

Yun Yao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "I don't know either, but I feel that this stone platform must be related to that mysterious force. We must find a way to destroy it."

Just as they were thinking about countermeasures, footsteps suddenly came from the basement. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked around vigilantly, only to see a group of men in black walking out of the darkness.

The leader of the men in black looked at them and sneered, "You two are really brave to come here. Now that you are here, don't even think about getting out alive!"

After that, the men in black attacked Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen immediately went up to them and started a fierce battle with the men in black.

The black-clothed men were all strong, and they cooperated well. For a moment, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were in trouble. However, they did not give up. Yun Yao used her magic, and rays of light flew out of her hands, attacking the black-clothed men. Chu Mochen waved his sword, and the sword shadow flashed, repelling the black-clothed men who approached him one by one.

During the battle, Yun Yao discovered that the attacks of the men in black seemed to revolve around the stone platform. She suddenly thought of a solution. She shouted to Chu Mochen, "Chu Mochen, let's attack the stone platform together first. Maybe we can break their formation."

Chu Mochen understood what Yun Yao meant, he nodded, and then attacked the stone platform together with Yun Yao. They exerted their strength to the extreme, and a powerful light shot out from their hands and hit the stone platform.

The stone platform shook violently, and then collapsed. As the stone platform collapsed, the men in black seemed to be affected as well, and their movements became slower. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen took the opportunity to launch an attack, defeating the men in black one by one.

After dealing with the man in black, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen breathed a sigh of relief. They came to the ruins of the basement and carefully searched for clues that might be useful. In the remains of the stone platform, they found a jade pendant with a strange symbol engraved on it.

Yun Yao picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully. "I seem to have seen this symbol somewhere before, but I can't remember where it is at the moment."

Chu Mochen took the jade pendant and looked at it. "No matter what, this jade pendant must be related to that mysterious force. Let's take it back first and study it slowly."

They left the basement and returned to the inn. After this battle, although they were injured, they also gained important clues. They knew that the next investigation would be more difficult, but they did not back down because they had a firm belief and mission in their hearts.
