The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

Chapter 522

"Well, we'll never separate again." Ren Xiaoyao nodded in agreement, and the two hugged each other tightly. New hope came to this land that was once full of dangers.

"Can the antidote really save her?" the woman asked in a low voice, her eyes flashing with anticipation and anxiety.

"Of course I can." Ren Xiaoyao answered firmly, his eyes full of longing for the future.

The moonlight is like water, and the silver light falls on the vast desert. The sand dunes are undulating, and the sound of camel bells in the distance seems to be telling the stories of passers-by. When the wind blows, the yellow sand fills the sky, covering the stars in the sky. At this moment, in this endless desert, a figure is walking alone. He is Ren Xiaoyao, known as "Xiaoyaozi" in the world.

Ren Xiaoyao was dressed in a green shirt, with a look of unruliness and heroism. His steps were firm, as if he was already very familiar with this desert. However, tonight, his heart was filled with completely different emotions - an indescribable feeling of uneasiness and expectation intertwined.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the front, as if someone was hiding in the dark. "Who is hiding here? Can you show yourself?" Ren Xiaoyao asked loudly. Although his voice was not loud, it was enough to penetrate the night and be heard far away.

As soon as he finished speaking, several black shadows suddenly jumped down from the sand dunes on both sides. They were all agile and held various weapons in their hands, and surrounded Ren Xiaoyao. "Humph, what a bold guy, daring to break into our Black Sand Gang's territory alone!" The leader shouted in a deep voice. This man was burly, with a face full of flesh and a fierce light in his eyes.

Facing this sudden change, Ren Xiaoyao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "So you are a friend of the Black Sand Gang. I am Ren Xiaoyao. I have no intention of offending your gang's territory. I just want to borrow your passage to pass through."

"Ren Xiaoyao? I've never heard of such a person in the martial arts world." The burly man sneered, "In that case, leave some money for passage!"

Before he finished speaking, shadows from all around rushed forward. Ren Xiaoyao's eyes focused, and his figure shuttled through the crowd like a ghost. Every palm strike was accompanied by a gust of wind, catching the opponent off guard. In an instant, dust rose up, and only bursts of wailing could be heard.

At this moment, a clear voice came from not far away: "Stop!" As the voice fell, a woman slowly walked into the sight of everyone. She was wearing a lavender dress, with a pretty face and a pair of bright eyes that showed determination. She waved her sleeves lightly, and a gentle force instantly separated everyone.

"This brother is a martial arts expert, a rare talent." The woman said, "I am Liu Ruyan, a resident of a nearby oasis, and I have come here to stop this meaningless fight."

Hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao stopped his attack and turned his gaze to Liu Ruyan, secretly admiring her heroic demeanor. "I see. I apologize for the offense." He clasped his fists and saluted.

"It's okay. Brother Ren's martial arts are outstanding and admirable." Liu Ruyan responded with a smile, "I wonder if Brother Ren has any unspeakable reasons for appearing here alone in the middle of the night?"

Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "In fact, I came here to find a legendary secret place..."

"Secret realm?" Curiosity flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes. "I wonder what Brother Ren is referring to? Perhaps I can help."

Ren Xiaoyao was moved when he heard this, and then nodded: "In that case, I will tell you directly. It is said that there is a mysterious place hidden deep in this desert, called 'Liusha Valley', which contains long-lost martial arts secrets. This is why I came here this time."

Liu Ruyan frowned slightly when she heard this: "Quicksand Valley? That is an extremely dangerous place. It is said that nine out of ten people who enter will not survive. If Brother Ren really wants to go and explore, you must be more careful."

Ren Xiaoyao smiled faintly: "Thank you Miss Liu for your reminder, I know my limits."

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from a distance. The previously defeated Black Sand Gang gathered again and approached this side aggressively. "Why are you guys still not willing to give up?" Liu Ruyan frowned, with a bit of dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Hmph, little bitch, do you think you can make us surrender by your own strength?" The burly man sneered, "Today I must let you know how powerful our Black Sand Gang is!"

Ren Xiaoyao sneered when he heard this: "It seems that this battle is inevitable." He turned and looked at Liu Ruyan, "Miss Liu, please step back to avoid being affected."

Liu Ruyan nodded slightly, and with a flick of her body, she had retreated to the side. Ren Xiaoyao rushed forward like lightning, facing the Black Sand Gang. A fierce battle broke out again, with rolling dust and swords flashing and shadows interlaced. Ren Xiaoyao was like a cheetah, moving freely between the enemies, and every move accurately hit the opponent's vital points.

As time went by, the members of the Black Sand Gang gradually lost their strength and fell to the ground. Although Ren Xiaoyao also suffered some minor injuries, he remained calm.

"Brother Ren is indeed worthy of his reputation. It is a great honor to meet you today." Liu Ruyan walked forward, her eyes full of admiration.

Ren Xiaoyao chuckled: "Miss Liu, you are too kind. This time, I am really grateful for your help, otherwise I would have a hard time getting out of this situation."

Liu Ruyan shook her head gently: "Brother Ren is too modest. But speaking of which, I have heard some clues about the Quicksand Valley..."

"Oh? Please give me some advice, Miss Liu." A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes.

Liu Ruyan smiled slightly: "In fact, as far as I know, the Quicksand Valley is located in a hidden place in the deepest part of this desert. It is said that only at a certain time, when the positions of the moon and the sun reach a certain wonderful balance, will the entrance be revealed. But in order to find it, you need to use a special treasure..."

The moonlight is like water, sprinkling over the vast desert. The wind and sand are everywhere, but they can't cover up the lonely and determined figure of a person - Ren Xiaoyao.

He walked alone in the boundless desert, with hot yellow sand under his feet and an unknown and dangerous road ahead. The destination of Ren Xiaoyao's trip was a mysterious place where the legendary martial arts secrets were hidden. But at this moment, his heart was not at peace, because in this desolate place, there was an upcoming life-and-death duel hidden.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid horse hooves broke the silence. In the distance, a group of masked men in black riding fast horses were seen in the dust, galloping towards Ren Xiaoyao. The leader was holding a long whip, and his eyes revealed an undisguised murderous intent.

"Ren Xiaoyao, hand over the map in your hand!" the black-clad leader shouted sternly.

Ren Xiaoyao frowned, his eyes were like torches: "Why should I hand it over to you?"

Before he finished speaking, the man in black had already swung his whip and attacked Ren Xiaoyao like a black poisonous snake. Ren Xiaoyao's body swayed, and he used his Qinggong to dodge the attack like flowing water. At the same time, he flipped his right hand and a short sword appeared in his palm.

The battle broke out instantly, and the two sides started a fierce contest on the sand. Ren Xiaoyao's swordsmanship was exquisite, and every move contained deep internal strength. However, the opponent was obviously also a master, not only with a large number of people, but also with tacit cooperation, which made Ren Xiaoyao unable to resist for a while.

Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, a melodious flute sound suddenly came from the depths of the desert. The sound was like a clear spring, washing away the dust and murderous aura on the battlefield. The originally tense situation became soothing under this sudden melody.

The black-clothed leader was startled for a moment, then revealed a look of horror: "Oh no, it's her! Retreat!" After that, he led his men away in a hurry.

Ren Xiaoyao put away his sword and stood, looking at the receding figure, feeling somewhat puzzled. At this moment, a woman in plain clothes slowly approached, holding a jade flute in her hand. She had a beautiful and refined face, and was the one who had just played the flute.

"Thank you for saving me, young lady." Ren Xiaoyao clasped his fists.

The woman smiled slightly, her voice as gentle as the breeze in the valley: "Mr. Ren, you don't have to be polite. I just can't bear to see someone destroy the tranquility of this desert."

The two stood facing each other, and an inexplicable emotion surged in Ren Xiaoyao's heart. In this desert full of challenges and unknowns, perhaps their love has just begun...

"Mr. Ren, what are your plans next?" the woman asked softly.

Ren Xiaoyao looked into the distance, his eyes gleaming with determination: "I will continue to move forward and look for the legendary secret book."

The woman nodded gently, her eyes gentle: "In that case, why not let me accompany you."

Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "That would be the best."

The two walked side by side and disappeared in the vast desert, leaving behind a trail of footprints that seemed to be telling the story of a legend that was about to unfold...

The sky gradually darkened, and the wind blew through the treetops, bringing a hint of coolness. Ren Xiaoyao stepped into this ancient and mysterious forest alone, but he was not afraid at all. He was going to find a legendary herb that only grew deep in this forest and could cure all diseases. Just as he pushed aside the dense vines and prepared to go deeper, a strange smell hit him.

"Strange, why is there such an unusual atmosphere here?" Ren Xiaoyao frowned, but did not stop, instead he quickened his pace.

As we went deeper, the light in the forest became dimmer and dimmer, and the surrounding scenery became blurry. Suddenly, a dilapidated ancient temple appeared in front of us, with the temple door half-open, revealing a strange light.

"The difference is actually this ancient temple." Ren Xiaoyao thought to himself, but curiosity drove him to get closer.

As soon as I stepped into the temple, I felt a strong fluctuation of true energy, and the air was filled with a strong murderous aura. In the center of the temple, a masked man in a black robe was confronting a white-haired old man.

"Sir, what brings you here so late at night?" The old man's voice was hoarse but full of energy, and his eyes were sharp as he stared at the masked man in front of him.

"Humph, I heard there's a treasure here, so I came here to take it!" The masked man said with a bit of arrogance, "If you know what's good for you, hand it over, so as to avoid hurting the relationship."

When Ren Xiaoyao heard this, he thought to himself, "Could there really be treasures hidden in this ancient temple?"

At this moment, the masked man suddenly attacked, and a fierce palm wind rushed straight to the old man's face. The old man shook his body and evaded the attack lightly, and at the same time returned a heavy punch. The two of them fought dozens of rounds in an instant, with palm winds whistling, and the fight was indisputable.

Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao did not dare to neglect it, and took out the long sword from his arms, ready to help the old man. But at this moment, the old man suddenly roared, the whole person flew into the air, put his palms together, gathered a powerful true energy, and blasted towards the masked man.

The masked man did not seem to expect the old man to be so powerful, and hurriedly retreated, but was still hit by the true energy. He flew backwards and hit the wall heavily, falling into a coma.

"Thank you for your help, senior." Ren Xiaoyao stepped forward and saluted.

The old man smiled slightly and said slowly: "Young man, you are here for the herb as well, right?"

Ren Xiaoyao nodded, his heart filled with gratitude: "That's right, my name is Ren Xiaoyao, and I came here specifically to look for the legendary elixir."

"In that case, follow me." The old man turned and walked towards the secret room behind the temple, and Ren Xiaoyao followed closely behind him.

In the secret room, a herb emitting a faint fluorescent light lay quietly on the stone platform, surrounded by various rare treasures.

"This is the herb you are looking for." The old man pointed at the herb and said, "However, this herb is not easy to pick. It needs to be warmed with true energy for seven days before it can mature."

Ren Xiaoyao was excited when he heard this: "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will cherish it."
