The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 401 The Light of the Crystal Ball

When Bai Zixuan and the others heard the shout, they all felt nervous, knowing that they had been discovered and the situation was extremely critical. But after all, they were all experienced people in the martial arts world, so they calmed down in an instant, each holding their weapons tightly, ready to deal with the impending danger.

When Hua Yanyue and the mysterious people heard the noise, they immediately looked towards the flowers. Hua Yanyue's eyes turned cold and he shouted, "Humph, I knew you guys wouldn't let it go. You dared to sneak into my Huayue Valley. Today, I will make sure you never come back!"

After that, she waved her hand, and the maids around her dispersed, posing as if they were ready to fight. The group of mysterious people also slowly surrounded them, exuding an aura that no one could underestimate, and it was obvious that they were all masters.

Seeing this, Bai Zixuan knew that a head-on fight was not the best strategy at this moment. He took a step forward, clasped his fists in salute, and tried to keep his voice calm: "Miss Hua, fellow seniors, we have no ill intentions. We just really want to obtain the power of the crystal ball to help us deal with the dangers in the martial arts world. I just heard your conversation and know that this crystal ball involves a lot of people. We don't want to bring trouble to Huayue Valley. We just hope to discuss it again and find a solution that will satisfy both parties."

Hua Yanyue sneered: "Humph, isn't it too late to say this now? Your sneaky behavior has made me see your true colors. I will never let you get this crystal ball, even if I have to destroy it!"

Qin Mufeng couldn't help but said loudly, "You are so stubborn, woman! We came here for the sake of justice. If we can use the power of the crystal ball to improve our strength, we can do more to punish evil and promote good in the world. But you are so unreasonable that you insist on taking this treasure for yourself and even destroy it. Is this the mind that a person in the world should have?"

Hua Yanyue's face flushed with anger at Qin Mufeng's words. She was about to refute when she heard a mysterious man slowly speak: "Young man, don't speak nonsense here. The power of this crystal ball is too strong. If it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be disastrous. You keep saying that you are doing this for the sake of justice, but who can guarantee that you are not coveting the power of this treasure for your own personal gain?"

Qing Yue heard this and said coldly, "If we were motivated by selfish interests, we could have just shown up and snatched the crystal ball when we heard you were going to destroy it. Why would we waste time talking to you? We really want to use the power of this crystal ball to become stronger so that we can protect the people and things we cherish. In this world, justice and evil coexist, and we need a stronger force to maintain this balance."

The mysterious man was slightly startled after hearing Qingyue's words. He seemed to think that there was some truth in his words, but he still did not relax his vigilance. He said, "Even so, I can't give this crystal ball to you easily. Hua Yanyue, go ahead and take them down first."

Hua Yanyue received the order and flashed, attacking Bai Zixuan first. Her moves were light and sharp, and it was obvious that her martial arts skills were not low. Bai Zixuan did not dare to neglect it and quickly drew his sword to meet the enemy. For a moment, the sword shadows crossed, and the two began to fight in this courtyard.

Seeing this, Qin Mufeng shouted loudly and rushed towards the group of mysterious people. He waved the big knife in his hand, and the wind from the knife made a whistling sound. Each blow was full of power, and he fought with those mysterious people.

Qingyue's figure was as fast as lightning, shuttling across the battlefield. Sometimes he assisted Bai Zixuan in resisting Hua Yanyue's attacks, and sometimes he helped Qin Mufeng to resolve the killing moves of those mysterious men. With his own strength, he played a key role in this chaotic battle.

Although Lin Ruoxue was extremely anxious, she also understood that her martial arts skills were relatively weak among these people. If she rashly joined the battle at this moment, she would not only be of no help, but might even become a burden. So, while paying attention to the battle situation, she was thinking in her mind how to resolve the crisis in front of her and find a chance to obtain the crystal ball.

Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, suddenly, a strange light flashed in the courtyard, and the light came from the place where the energy crystal ball was placed. Everyone was startled and stopped their actions involuntarily and looked towards the source of the light.

The energy crystal ball floated up on its own for some reason, emitting an increasingly strong light, illuminating the entire courtyard as bright as day. Under the light, some strange runes seemed to emerge on the surface of the crystal ball. Those runes flashed with mysterious light, as if telling some ancient secret.

Hua Yanyue widened her eyes and said in surprise: "This...what's going on? Why did the crystal ball suddenly become like this?"

The group of mysterious people also looked astonished. One of the older mysterious people murmured to himself, "Could it be...could it be that the crystal ball sensed some kind of crisis and activated some kind of power on its own?"

Bai Zixuan and others were also confused by this sudden change, but they felt in their hearts that this might be a turning point.

Just as everyone was astonished, the crystal ball suddenly emitted a strong energy wave, which spread in all directions. Wherever it went, Hua Yanyue's maids, the group of mysterious people, Bai Zixuan and others were all enveloped by this energy wave.

Everyone felt a strong force surge into their bodies, and their bodies seemed to float uncontrollably. Then, a series of strange pictures appeared in their minds. The picture showed the origin of this energy crystal ball. It was originally made by a peerless master in ancient times, and it contained the power to change the world. But this power is too strong. If it is abused, it will bring disaster to the world. Therefore, this crystal ball has been sealed in Huayue Valley, waiting for the right person to appear and use this power correctly to maintain peace in the world.

As the images unfolded, everyone gradually understood the meaning and mission of the crystal ball. At this moment, the crystal ball seemed to be testing them, bringing them into an illusory space where everyone faced the challenge of their own deep fears and desires.

Bai Zixuan found himself in a vast sea of blood, surrounded by the ghosts of the enemies he had defeated. They rushed towards him with their fangs and claws bared, shouting for his life. Bai Zixuan was shocked, but he quickly calmed down. He knew that these were all illusions, and the crystal ball was testing his state of mind. He closed his eyes, silently reciting his original intention of chivalry, holding the sword tightly in his hand, unmoved.

Qin Mufeng was in a treasure house filled with gold and silver. The treasures around him exuded an alluring light, as if calling him to take them for himself. Qin Mufeng was shaken, but he remembered the days when he and his friends were wandering in the rivers and lakes, and the people who needed help. He gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "I, Qin Mufeng, am not a person who covets money!" After that, he broke free from the temptation of the treasure.

Qingyue came to a dark corner, where stood all the people he had killed. They looked at him with resentful eyes, accusing him of cruelty and ruthlessness. Qingyue's face turned pale, and his heart fell into a deep struggle. He has always been known for his ruthlessness in the killer world, but at this moment, facing the accusations of those whose lives he had taken, he felt a sense of guilt he had never felt before. However, he also understood that the past could not be changed, and all he could do was to use the rest of his life to make up for the mistakes he had made. So he bowed deeply to those wronged souls and said, "I know I am deeply sinful, but I will atone for my sins with my actions."

Lin Ruoxue was trapped in a huge cage. Outside the cage was Mo Kun's arrogant smile. He kept mocking Lin Ruoxue, saying that she would never be able to defeat him and would never be able to save the Mo Gang. Lin Ruoxue was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she remembered the trust and expectations of the Mo Gang leader in her and the brothers of the Mo Gang. She clenched her fists and shouted loudly: "I will definitely defeat you and save the Mo Gang!"

After everyone successfully passed the test in their hearts, the illusory space gradually dissipated, and they returned to the courtyard. At this time, the light of the energy crystal ball gradually returned to normal, and it slowly fell back to where it was originally placed.

Hua Yanyue looked at the crowd, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, she didn't expect that these people could pass the crystal ball test. The prejudice and hostility she had towards them also dissipated a lot at this moment.

The older mysterious man stepped forward, looked at everyone, and said slowly: "It seems that you are all destined to be together. The power of this crystal ball is originally given to those who are just and can restrain their desires. Since you have passed the test, you can borrow the power of this crystal ball temporarily."

Bai Zixuan and the others were overjoyed when they heard this. Lin Ruoxue said excitedly: "Thank you all for your help, we will definitely use this power correctly and live up to your expectations."

Hua Yanyue frowned slightly and said, "Wait a minute, although you have passed the test, this crystal ball is after all the treasure of my Huayue Valley, I am still a little worried. I want to go with you and supervise you to use the power of this crystal ball to ensure that it will not be abused."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, but they also understood Hua Yanyue's worries. Bai Zixuan nodded and said, "That's good. With Miss Hua going with us, we can feel more at ease."

Therefore, accompanied by Hua Yanyue and the mysterious people, Bai Zixuan and others came to the crystal ball. According to the method taught by the mysterious people, they absorbed part of the energy of the crystal ball one by one.

As the energy was absorbed, everyone felt a powerful heat current flowing through their bodies. Their internal strength was greatly enhanced in an instant, and their bodies became lighter and stronger.

After absorbing the energy, everyone felt the huge change in their own strength. Lin Ruoxue was full of confidence. She believed that with this power, she would be able to win the duel with Mo Kun and save the Mo Gang.

However, just as they were about to leave Huayue Valley, a sudden noise came from outside the valley. Everyone was startled and looked outside the valley.

A large number of people from the underworld gathered outside the valley, holding weapons and looking hostile, and the leader was Mo Kun. It turned out that Mo Kun learned that Lin Ruoxue and others went to Huayue Valley to seek the energy crystal ball. He was worried that Lin Ruoxue would use the power of the crystal ball to defeat him in the competition, so he colluded with some underworld scum to snatch the crystal ball and get rid of Lin Ruoxue and others to prevent future troubles.

When Mo Kun saw Lin Ruoxue and the others coming out of the valley, a ferocious smile appeared on his face. He shouted loudly: "Lin Ruoxue, do you think you can get the power of the crystal ball so easily and defeat me in a duel? Today is the day you die, come on!"

After saying that, those scums of the martial arts world rushed towards Bai Zixuan and others like a tide.

Bai Zixuan and the others looked solemn. They had just absorbed the power of the crystal ball and had not had time to adapt to it before they had to face this sudden attack. But they were not afraid. After all, their strength was no longer what it used to be.
