The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

Chapter 416

He gritted his teeth and endured it, relying on his strong willpower to forcibly take the "Nine Nether Mysterious Iron Order" into his pocket.

As he seized the Iron Order, the Blood Lotus Cult leader's spell backfired, and the strange formation on the altar collapsed instantly. A deafening explosion sounded in the cave, and rocks flew and flames splashed. Ren Xiaoyao took the opportunity to activate his Qinggong and rushed out of the cave like an arrow from a bow. The roars and pursuits of the Blood Lotus Cultists behind him gradually faded away.

After escaping from the Black Wind Valley, Ren Xiaoyao found a secluded place to recover. He took out the "Nine Nether Mysterious Iron Order" and examined it carefully. The surface of the iron order was chilling, and there were complex and indistinguishable runes engraved on it, which seemed to contain unfathomable power. Ren Xiaoyao knew that this order was not only related to the safety of his mother, but also the key to uncovering the secrets of the Blood Lotus Sect and his uncle White Eyebrow.

He held the iron order tightly, his eyes were firm, and he swore silently in his heart: "Blood Lotus Sect, Uncle White Eyebrow, when I find out the truth, I will seek justice for my mother and restore the glory of the Ren family!" Then, he put away the iron order and embarked on a new journey. What awaits him ahead will be more dangerous storms and unknown secrets. Taoist Master Baimei was as if he had been pardoned. His figure flashed, and he instantly withdrew from Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness, and turned into a physical entity again and stood in front of him. His face was pale, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Obviously, the experience just now was not easy for him. He looked at Ren Xiaoyao with complicated eyes, secretly marveling at the profound cultivation of this young master, who could actually clamp him in such a way in the sea of ​​consciousness, and his words revealed his concern for a certain woman, which made him think of the imprisoned mysterious woman.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't say much, but just gently closed his eyes, as if he was adjusting his mood. After a moment, he opened his eyes, his eyes were already determined: "Master Baimei, I want to go to Qingyun Mountain immediately to find that girl. This matter is related to family feuds and private grudges, and also involves the secrets of the martial arts world. I have made up my mind and cannot change it. If Master Uncle does not want to go with me, please go back to Wudang and don't go into danger again."

Taoist Master Baimei heard this and sighed, "Young Master Ren, although you and I are nephew in name, we are actually like father and son. Your business is my business, so how can I stay out of it? But Qingyun Mountain is a stronghold of the evil sect, and it is extremely dangerous. I am really worried about you going there alone. How about this, you wait for a while, I will go back to Wudang and gather a few brothers to go with you, how about that?"

Ren Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, his tone firm: "I appreciate your kindness, but this matter should not be publicized, so as not to alert the enemy. Besides, I have an unfinished business that needs to be dealt with by myself. If I bring everyone with me, it will be inconvenient. Uncle, just help me find the specific location of Qingyun Mountain and its recent movements, and I will find an opportunity to sneak in and rescue the girl."

Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao had made up his mind, Taoist Master Baimei stopped trying to dissuade him, knowing that this young man was decisive, wise and brave, and might be able to complete this seemingly impossible task on his own. He nodded and said, "In that case, I will go back to Wudang and collect intelligence for you as soon as possible. Remember to be careful. If there is any emergency, you can take this token to the 'Zuixianju' in the small town at the foot of Wudang Mountain, and there will be Wudang disciples to pick you up."

After that, Taoist Master Baimei took out a finely carved jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao took it, bowed deeply, and watched Taoist Master Baimei turn into a green light, gallop away, and disappear into the sky.

After Taoist Master Baimei left, Ren Xiaoyao stood alone on the cliff, looking at the mountains in the distance, with thousands of thoughts in his mind. He recalled the scene of his farewell to his mother that day. Her helpless but resolute eyes when she was taken away by the mysterious man in black are still deeply imprinted in his heart. He clenched his fists and swore to himself that he would find his mother no matter what and uncover the truth behind all this.

The moon was rising, and the night was getting darker. Ren Xiaoyao quietly went down the mountain and came to a dense forest at the foot of the mountain. This was where he usually practiced. There was a hidden cave in the forest, which contained various martial arts books and martial arts secrets that he had collected over the years. He wanted to study the ancient books here to find clues that might help him break through the heavy defenses of Qingyun Mountain.

Deep in the cave, the lights were dim. Ren Xiaoyao sat cross-legged, with a yellowed ancient scroll spread out in front of him, with the words "Qingyun Secret Record" written on it. He read it carefully, and saw that the book recorded the topography of Qingyun Mountain, traps, and even the martial arts characteristics of the evil masters in the mountain in great detail. As he studied and memorized, he gradually sketched out a three-dimensional picture of Qingyun Mountain in his mind.

A few days later, Ren Xiaoyao walked out of the cave, his eyes flashing with confidence and determination. He had made thorough preparations, waiting for nightfall to set out on a dangerous journey alone to rescue his mother. The night wind blew by, his sleeves fluttered, and he walked on the moon with a long sword on his back. His figure gradually merged into the darkness, leaving only a series of firm footsteps, echoing in the quiet mountains and forests.

At the same time, on Mount Wudang, Taoist Master Baimei was discussing with his fellow apprentices. They sat around the Bagua stone table, each holding a fragment of a map representing a different area of ​​Qingyun Mountain, trying to piece together a complete topographic map of Qingyun Mountain. The flickering candlelight illuminated their serious and worried faces. Taoist Master Baimei knew that Ren Xiaoyao was undoubtedly putting himself in danger, but all they could do was to try their best to provide support and pray that he would return safely and successfully rescue the trapped woman.

The Jianghu is in turmoil again. A fierce battle involving family affection, grudges, good and evil is about to take place in Qingyun Mountain, and Ren Xiaoyao is at the center of this storm. How will his fate be written in this life-and-death contest? Everything lies in the unknown future...

The conversation between Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Master Baimei is like a game of undercurrents, each of them has a secret intention. Although Taoist Master Baimei is trapped by Ren Xiaoyao's tricks, he still tries his best to cover up and try to get away with it with lies. Ren Xiaoyao presses step by step, revealing his deep worry and firm determination for his mother's safety.

Taoist Master Baimei felt relieved when he saw the man in black robe signaling to leave, but he was secretly alert. His figure flashed and turned into a white light, instantly leaving Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness and returning to the real world. However, as soon as he appeared, he noticed that the atmosphere around him was extremely depressing. Many masters led by Ren Haoyu had surrounded them, all of them with gloomy faces and tense.

"Bai Mei!" Ren Haoyu shouted coldly, his eyes like knives, "You betrayed my Ren family and colluded with this rebellious son. If you don't hand over my lost things today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Taoist Master Baimei's face changed slightly. He knew that he was in a dangerous situation at the moment. If he was not careful, he would fall into an irretrievable situation. He took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and said loudly: "Young Master Ren, I have been practicing asceticism all my life. How could I betray the Ren family? I have no idea about the "lost things" you mentioned. What happened today was all due to misunderstanding. I hope Young Master can see clearly."

Ren Haoyu sneered repeatedly, and the long sword in his hand swung, the sword energy surged, and the cold light flashed: "Misunderstanding? You and that rebellious son broke into the forbidden area privately and stole the family treasure, and you still want to quibble? Today, unless you hand over the treasure, you can't leave this place!"

Taoist Master Baimei knew that he could no longer hide it. He looked at Ren Xiaoyao, his eyes flickering with determination. Ren Xiaoyao understood and nodded slightly, indicating that he could speak freely. Taoist Master Baimei then said frankly: "Young Master Ren, to be honest, I am indeed here to find something, but it is not the family treasure you think. It is a pill that concerns the life and death of a woman, and this woman is..."

Before he finished speaking, a strong aura suddenly swept in from a distance, interrupting the words of Taoist Master Baimei. Everyone was shocked and looked up, only to see a green rainbow rushing over from the edge of the sky, and instantly descending on everyone's heads, turning into a stunning woman in emerald green clothes, with a dignified face and extraordinary temperament. It was Ren Xiaoyao's mother - Mrs. Ren!

Mrs. Ren's eyes swept across the room, and finally landed on Ren Xiaoyao, her eyes revealing concern and love. She whispered to Ren Xiaoyao, "Xiaoyao, mother is late." Then she turned to Ren Haoyu, her voice was soft, but it was filled with unquestionable majesty: "Haoyu, do you know your mistake?"

Ren Haoyu's momentum suddenly diminished when he faced his mother, but he still stubbornly retorted: "Mother, how can you favor this rebellious son? He broke into the forbidden area without permission and colluded with outsiders. He is clearly betraying the family!"

Madam Ren smiled calmly and said, "Haoyu, there are some things you don't know. This Taoist priest Baimei is not an outsider. He was your father's close friend. He came here to discuss important matters. As for the matter of the forbidden land, it was arranged by my mother herself in order to find a key medicinal ingredient that was lost that year and save an old friend. You misunderstood Xiaoyao and Taoist priest Baimei."

Ren Haoyu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at his mother in disbelief. The masters around him looked at each other, and the atmosphere became subtle. Ren Xiaoyao felt relieved and looked at his mother gratefully. He knew that all misunderstandings would be resolved, and his mother's appearance undoubtedly put an end to this storm.

At this moment, Madam Ren's face suddenly changed slightly. She looked into the distance and whispered, "It seems that someone is not willing to let this matter rest." Everyone looked in the direction of her gaze and saw dark clouds rolling in the distant sky and a black gas rushing straight into the sky. It could be vaguely seen that there were countless evil creatures in it, rapidly approaching this place.

Ren Xiaoyao knew that the real crisis had just begun...

Taoist Master Baimei seemed to have been pardoned. His figure turned into a puff of green smoke and instantly disappeared from Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness, returning to his physical body. As soon as he came back to his senses, he saw that Ren Xiaoyao's face was gloomy, his eyes were as deep as the night, and there was determination and resoluteness in them. Baimei knew that it was useless to say more at this moment, so he silently stepped aside and watched the situation.

Ren Xiaoyao did not act immediately, but closed his eyes and concentrated, as if sorting out his complicated thoughts. After a moment, he opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear, as if he had made some kind of decision. He turned to Taoist Master Baimei, and said in a cold and firm tone: "Uncle Baimei, I want to go to Tianji Valley."

"Tianji Valley?" Taoist Master Baimei was shocked. "That is the residence of a hidden master. It is difficult for ordinary people to find it. Besides, the owner of the valley, Xuanjizi, is aloof and arrogant. He doesn't like to be disturbed by outsiders."

Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly, revealing an unshakable determination: "I know it's difficult, but this matter concerns my mother's safety, I have to do it. If you don't want to take the risk, you can wait here, I will go alone."

Taoist Master Baimei saw that Ren Xiaoyao was determined and knew that it was useless to dissuade him. Instead, he was worried that he would take the risk alone. So he said in a deep voice: "Since Young Master Ren is so determined, how can I sit back and watch? Although I am old, I still have a little strength left. I will do my best to protect you."

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with emotion, and he nodded slightly. Then the two of them set off immediately and embarked on a difficult journey to find Tianji Valley. They crossed mountains and ridges, passed through forests and crossed rivers, and encountered many dangers along the way, but they were all resolved one by one by Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Baimei with their superb martial arts. Ren Xiaoyao also took this opportunity to continuously study the martial arts secret book "Taixu Sword Classic" taught by Taoist Baimei, and his swordsmanship became more and more advanced, and his state of mind became more and more calm.

A month later, they came to a valley shrouded in clouds and mist. At the entrance of the valley stood a huge stone with three simple and vigorous characters on it - "Tianji Valley". In the valley, cranes danced, springs gurgled, and exotic flowers and plants were everywhere. It was indeed a fairyland. Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Baimei looked at each other and saw the amazement and expectation in each other's eyes.

The two of them walked along the winding path deep into the valley, and suddenly heard the melodious sound of a zither coming from the front, like the sound of flowing water in the mountains, or like the wind sweeping away the clouds. Following the sound, they saw an old man with white hair and silver beard sitting alone playing the zither beside a clear pond. It was Xuanjizi, the master of Tianji Valley. He noticed the visitor, slowly raised his head, and his eyes were like torches, shooting directly at Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Baimei.

"Why are you two trespassing into my quiet place?" Xuanjizi's voice was calm, but contained a hint of majesty.

Ren Xiaoyao clasped his fists and saluted, saying loudly: "I am Ren Xiaoyao, a junior. Because my mother has been imprisoned by a mysterious force, I have come to see the Valley Master. I hope the Valley Master can give me some pointers and help me rescue my mother."

After hearing this, Xuanjizi frowned slightly, and his eyes wandered over Ren Xiaoyao, as if examining his sincerity and determination. After a long while, he sighed softly, put down the zither in his hand, and said, "Ren Xiaoyou, you know that the one involved in this matter is actually a very secretive force in the martial arts world, called the Netherworld Cult. I'm afraid your mother's imprisonment is related to a treasure of your Ren family."
