The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

Chapter 492

Xiao Feng took out a wine flask from his arms and handed it to the two brothers: "Come on, let's drink to our friendship and the challenges we are about to face!"

The three of them drank together, their shadows stretched long under the moonlight, as if to witness their friendship. At this moment, all the fatigue and worries drifted away with the aroma of wine, leaving only the deep affection between the brothers.

"No matter what the future holds, having you by my side is the best world." Ren Xiaoyao's words were full of sincerity.

"On the road of the martial arts world, we share happiness and hardships together." The Green-Skirted Guest and Xiao Feng said in unison. The laughter of the three echoed in the night sky for a long time, becoming the most beautiful melody on this quiet night.

The story is not over yet, their journey in the martial arts world is still going on, more challenges and adventures are waiting for them, but as long as they have each other's company, nothing is impossible. In this vast martial arts world, they will write their own legendary chapters with practical actions.

"Having said that, the mysterious 'Lord Shadow' behind the Black Lotus Cult has always been a hidden danger, and we still know nothing about him." The Green Shirt Guest's expression became solemn, breaking the brief tranquility.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were stern, and his face was serious: "Yes, this person is sinister, we must find his weakness. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."

Xiao Feng frowned and thought: "Lord Youying always seems to be able to plan ahead of time. Can we find clues from past events?"

"Good idea. We will split up tomorrow. You go to investigate the recent movements of the Black Lotus Sect, and Brother Qingshan and I will try to contact some old hands who have had interactions with Lord Youying. Perhaps we can discover something." Ren Xiaoyao quickly made a plan.

"That's settled then. We will each do our part and make sure to uncover Lord Shadow's true identity as soon as possible." The man in green stood up, his eyes determined.

The next day, the three acted according to the plan. Xiaofeng mixed into the market, and with his agility and flexibility, he quickly collected information about the frequent mobilization of the Black Lotus Sect; while Ren Xiaoyao and Qingshanke went deep into the old predecessors of the martial arts world, trying to dig out those forgotten historical fragments.

A few days later, the three of them gathered again on the hill that witnessed their friendship.

"Brother Ren, Brother Qingshan, I found a clue!" Xiaofeng couldn't wait to share his discovery, "The Black Lotus Cult seems to be secretly collecting a strange item called 'Nether Fire Stone'. It is said that this stone can enhance the internal strength of a warrior, but if used improperly, it will backfire on the body."

"The Hellfire Stone..." Ren Xiaoyao pondered, "This item is extremely rare. The Black Lotus Cult would not easily take action if it did not have a clear purpose. I'm afraid Lord Youying is planning something big."

"Also, I learned from my inquiries that Lord Shadow has been in frequent contact with a mysterious businessman from the Western Regions recently. That man seems to be quite knowledgeable about the Nether Fire Stone." The Green Shirted Guest added.

"Merchants from the Western Regions... It seems we need to go to the Western Regions, follow the clues, and find out Lord Shadow's true intentions." A look of determination flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes.

"No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, as long as we fight side by side, we will be able to eradicate the conspiracy behind this!" Xiaofeng was full of fighting spirit and his words were full of determination.

As night falls, the three of them sit around the campfire, the firelight illuminating their young and determined faces. The road of the martial arts world is full of dangers, but with like-minded partners walking with you, no matter how big the storm is, it can be turned into a tempering for growth.

"Let's go, brothers. For the peace of the martial arts world and for the truth in our hearts, this time, we must completely eradicate Lord Youying!" Ren Xiaoyao stood up, pointing his sword to the sky, a sense of heroic ambition arose spontaneously.

"Point the sword to the sky, hold justice in mind, and be fearless!" The Green-Shanted Man and Xiao Feng responded in unison. Their voices echoed in the night sky like war drums, foreshadowing that a new journey is about to begin.

The world of martial arts becomes more exciting because of their existence, and they will become true heroes in these trials.

After many twists and turns, the three finally arrived at a prosperous town on the border of the Western Regions. This place is crowded with merchants and has a strong exotic atmosphere. It is an excellent place for intelligence transactions. According to the information they had heard before, the mysterious Western Region merchant lived here.

"Act separately and be careful to stay hidden. Xiaofeng, you go to the market to find out the specific location of the merchant, and Brother Qingshan and I will go to the tavern, which is often where news spreads the fastest." Ren Xiaoyao whispered.

Xiao Feng nodded, and his figure quickly blended into the crowd, like a fish swimming into water, and disappeared without a trace. Ren Xiaoyao and Qingshanke walked into a bustling tavern, found a corner to sit down, ordered a few pots of local liquor, and waited for news.

"Are you two looking for something special?" An old man with a weathered face suddenly appeared beside the table. His eyes were sharp, as if he could see into people's hearts.

Ren Xiaoyao remained calm and said with a smile, "Old man, you are really perceptive. We do have something to ask of you, but before that, may I ask your name?"

The old man smiled slightly, revealing a bit of mystery: "My name is Shatuo. I have been traveling around for many years, so I am naturally well-informed. Tell me, what are you looking for?"

"We are quite interested in a merchant from the Western Regions. It is said that he holds the secret of the Nether Fire Stone." The Green Shirted Man said.

Upon hearing this, Shatuo's expression changed slightly: "The Nether Fire Stone is a treasure that can stir up trouble. The person you are looking for is called Musa, a secretive but well-informed guy. However, he is not so easy to meet."

"As long as we can find him, everything will be solved." Ren Xiaoyao said firmly.

Shatuo pondered for a moment, then took out a small copper bell from his sleeve and said, "Tomorrow night at midnight, in the apricot blossom forest ten miles outside the city, ring this bell and someone will take you to see Musa. But remember, the road to the Western Regions is full of dangers, so be careful."

After receiving the bell, Ren Xiaoyao exchanged glances with the man in green shirt, with both anticipation and vigilance in his heart. As the night deepened, the three of them met at the inn, shared their gains, and made plans for the next step.

The next evening, at midnight, in the apricot forest, the moonlight was like silver and the fragrance of the flowers was overwhelming. Ren Xiaoyao gently rang the copper bell, and soon, a subtle rustling sound came from far away, and a masked man appeared in front of them.

“Follow me.” The masked man said in a low voice, then turned around and led the three people through the winding paths, and finally came to a hidden cave entrance.

The lights in the cave were dim, illuminating Musa's exotic face. He looked at the visitors in front of him with an unpredictable smile on his face: "What brings you here from afar?"

Ren Xiaoyao got straight to the point: "We are very interested in the Nether Fire Stone, and we are even more worried about the conspiracy behind it. I believe Mr. Musa can give us some answers."

Musa raised his eyebrows, seeming to appreciate their directness: "The Netherfire Stone is indeed a treasure, but it is also a double-edged sword. Lord Shadow wants to use it to strengthen his subordinates and realize his ulterior ambitions."

"Ambition?" Xiao Feng asked, "What exactly does he want to do?"

Musa sighed, "Lord Youying has been plotting for a long time. He wants to use the power of the Nether Fire Stone to awaken the legendary ancient demon god and use it to rule the martial arts world and even the entire Central Plains."

Hearing this, the three of them looked solemn. Ren Xiaoyao said in a deep voice: "We cannot sit idly by and watch such an act that defies the will of heaven. Mr. Musa, are you willing to lend us a hand?"

Musa was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly: "Although I am a businessman, I also know the right and wrong. I will show you a way to Lord Shadow's hiding place, but you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

The night deepened, and the wind outside the cave was a bit chilly. With the help of Musa, Ren Xiaoyao, Qingshanke and Xiaofeng embarked on a journey to fight against Lord Youying. What awaited them ahead was an unknown challenge, and also a test to prove their chivalrous hearts.

"No matter what the future holds, the three of us brothers will share life and death together." At the moment of stepping into the darkness, Ren Xiaoyao's words were like a vow, echoing in everyone's heart and laying the foundation for the unswerving determination for the upcoming decisive battle.

The hiding place of Lord Shadow is hidden in a valley shrouded in black fog all year round, called Shadow Abyss. The terrain here is steep and full of traps, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach. Relying on the secret path provided by Musa, Ren Xiaoyao and his party finally stood at the entrance of Shadow Abyss after going through hardships.

"This is Lord Shadow's lair. Once you enter, every step will be a test of life and death." Xiao Feng looked at the foggy valley ahead with a frown on his face.

The man in green shirt stroked the hilt of his sword, his eyes determined: "Now that we are here, there is no reason to turn back. For the safety of the martial arts world, we have to go in even if it is a dangerous place."

The three of them took a deep breath, and then they disappeared into the black fog like ghosts in the night. The valley was extremely cold, and from time to time there were bursts of creepy roars, accompanied by the looming shadows in the black fog, as if countless eyes were spying on them.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid mechanical sounds broke the silence, the ground suddenly cracked, and several arrows coated with poison shot from all directions. Ren Xiaoyao was agile, and he tapped his toes lightly, driving the surrounding airflow to form a protective barrier, deflecting the arrows one by one.

"Everyone be careful, there are many traps here, so you must stay vigilant." Ren Xiaoyao reminded.

As they go deeper, the challenges become more severe. Not only are there endless traps, but there are also unexpected attacks from the shadow guards trained by Lord Shadow. Every battle is full of dangers, but the three of them resolve them one by one with their tacit cooperation and superb martial arts.

Finally, they stopped in front of a huge stone door covered with runes. Above the stone door, a strong evil aura emanated faintly, making people shudder.

"This is the last barrier of Lord Shadow's hiding place." The Green Shirt Guest said solemnly, "Break through here and we can stop his conspiracy."

Xiao Feng clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fighting spirit: "We have no way out, for the martial arts world, for the people of the world!"

Ren Xiaoyao took a step forward, closed his eyes and concentrated, slowly spread his hands, and the inner energy in his body surged, gathering into a dazzling light, which directly hit the seal on the stone door. With a deafening roar, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a secret room hidden deep inside.

In the secret room, Lord Shadow stood with his back to them in front of an altar that emitted a strange blue light. In the center of the altar was a stone that flickered with the light of Hellfire - the Hellfire Stone.

"You are finally here, faster than I expected." Lord Shadow turned around slowly with a strange smile on his face, "But it's too late."

"Shadow, your ambition ends here!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted sternly, and the three of them quickly formed a battle formation, ready for the final decisive battle.

The battle was about to break out, with the flashes of swords and the surging of internal energy interweaving, and the entire secret room seemed to have become a battlefield from another world. After a hard fight, Lord Youying finally showed signs of defeat under the combined efforts of the three, but he still laughed wildly and unwillingly: "Even if I die today, my plan will not end here. The future of the martial arts world will be dark..."

Before he finished speaking, a powerful force surged out of the Nether Fire Stone and rushed into the sky. At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao flew up, and the long sword in his hand turned into a flash of lightning, slashing at the Nether Fire Stone. After a shocking explosion, the Nether Fire Stone shattered, the evil spirit dissipated, and only silence remained.

"Did we... succeed?" Xiao Feng asked, panting.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the dark clouds that were gradually dispersing in the sky, and a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, the martial arts world has once again ushered in peace."

"I hope this peace can last forever." The man in green shirt sighed softly, his eyes showing both relief and expectations for the future.

The three smiled at each other. After experiencing the test of life and death, their brotherhood became even deeper. In the afterglow of the setting sun, they walked out of the valley side by side and set out on their way home, their hearts filled with infinite hope for the future.

"As long as the three of us brothers work together, nothing can be overcome." Ren Xiaoyao's words were full of determination, and also brought a perfect end to this legendary adventure.
