The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

Chapter 480

Finally, a sound of fighting came from deep in the tunnel, followed by Ren Xiaoyao's shout: "Come quickly, I have a few of them!"

The three quickly followed, and Ren Xiaoyao was able to fight three people at once. Shen Muyun, Li Xiaoyun and Liu Piaoxue joined the battle, and in a flash, all the lurking villains were subdued.

"Tell me, who is your mastermind?" Shen Muyun asked the bound villain in a cold voice, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

However, these minions kept their mouths shut, their eyes full of crazy loyalty. It was obvious that they had received strict training and would rather die than reveal a word.

"Hmph, you're just being stubborn, eh? Then we'll have no choice but to unveil the mysterious veil ourselves." Shen Muyun said in a deep voice, his eyes penetrating, as if he had already made up his mind.

Just as they were preparing to conduct an in-depth investigation, there were bursts of hurried horse hoof sounds suddenly coming from outside the village. More reinforcements were about to arrive, and all this seemed to indicate that the upcoming showdown between good and evil would be an unprecedented tough battle.

"It seems that the real contest has just begun." Li Xiaoyun clenched the sword in his hand, with a firm light flashing in his eyes.

"No matter what, the four of us working together will be able to break the darkness and usher in the light." Liu Piaoxue echoed softly, her tone gentle but full of power.

"Then it's settled. No matter what we face, we will advance and retreat together, come wind, rain, thunder and lightning!" Ren Xiaoyao's words were loud and clear, echoing in the night sky and striking heavily in everyone's heart, inspiring endless fighting spirit.

The four of them smiled at each other, and saw each other's unwavering faith in their eyes. In this land infected by evil, they will use practical actions to prove that justice will never be absent and light will eventually come. And the friendship of fighting side by side will become the warmest power in their hearts, illuminating each other until the last moment.

"Let's go, time waits for no one." Shen Muyun waved his hand and ran out of the village first. His figure drew a decisive arc under the moonlight.

The other three followed closely behind, the night wind whistling in their ears, as if cheering them on. The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the ground seemed to tremble with it. A tough battle was about to begin.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, I saw a well-equipped cavalry galloping towards me. The leader was wearing a black robe, with only a pair of cold eyes under his mask, like a messenger of death. Behind him, the dark team was like a tide, with great momentum.

"You've finally revealed yourself, the mastermind behind this?" Shen Muyun sneered, his eyes sharp, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, the tip of the sword pointing directly at the enemy formation.

"Shen Muyun, I had expected that you would come to ruin my plans. However, tonight, you and your friends will become fertilizer for this land." The black-robed man's voice was cold, and there was unquestionable arrogance in his words.

"How shameless! Watch out!" Li Xiaoyun could no longer hold back, and he stretched out his body like an arrow from a bow, attacking the enemy's vanguard. The sword flashed, the cold air was pressing, and in an instant, blood splattered, and the first battle was won.

The battle broke out in full swing, and the two sides were caught in a fierce confrontation. Shen Muyun and Liu Piaoxue cooperated tacitly, one attacking and one defending, like flowing clouds and water, and were invincible. Ren Xiaoyao shuttled through the enemy camp like a ghost, killing countless souls with his sword, and no one could stop his sharp edge.

However, the enemy was numerous and well-trained. Although the four were brave, they gradually felt the pressure. At this moment, an unexpected change broke the deadlock - a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the night sky, followed by a deafening thunder and a sudden rainstorm.

The heavy rain not only extinguished the surrounding flames, but also added a bit of unpredictability to the battlefield. The man in black robes saw this and his face changed slightly. The rain seemed to have disrupted his plan.

"Retreat!" The black-robed man gave the order, and the enemy began to evacuate in an orderly manner, at a speed that was astonishing. Although Shen Muyun and others wanted to pursue them, it was difficult to exert their full strength in the muddy ground and dim rain.

"Let them go. Tonight's battle has already explained everything." Shen Muyun looked at the direction where the enemy disappeared, his eyes firm. "We protected this village and prevented a greater disaster."

The rain gradually subsided, the sky turned pale, and dawn was approaching. The four people stood in the rain, exhausted, but their eyes sparkled with the joy of victory and hope for the future.

"That night, we fought side by side and proved the power of justice and courage." Shen Muyun turned to look at his companions with a rare smile on his face. "No matter how many challenges there are in the future, as long as we are together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

"Yes, we are in this together and are invincible!" The three responded in unison. At that moment, their hearts were closely connected, as if the whole world was cheering for their friendship and bravery.

The story is not over yet, this is just the beginning of their legendary journey. In the days to come, Shen Muyun, Li Xiaoyun, Liu Piaoxue and Ren Xiaoyao will continue to write their own heroic chapters in the martial arts world, interpreting with their actions what it means to be a great hero, serving the country and the people. And those unsolved mysteries and enemies hidden in the darkness will eventually be exposed under their swords.

"I hope this rain can wash away some of the sins of the world." Liu Piaoxue said softly, the rain sliding down her hair. Her eyes showed the tenacity of having just experienced a battle, but also a hint of tenderness that was not easily detected.

"Yes, but we still need to be vigilant." Ren Xiaoyao said as he checked the wounds on his body. Although he looked careless, he was actually very careful and had already examined the surroundings. "The man in black will not give up easily. We must find out his true purpose as soon as possible."

"Xiaoyun, what do you think? What are your plans for the next step?" Shen Muyun looked at Li Xiaoyun. Although the latter was taciturn, he could always come up with key insights at critical moments.

Li Xiaoyun pondered for a moment and said, "Tracking, we must find their lair. They retreated in a hurry this time, so they may leave clues. As long as we can find their hiding place, we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

Shen Muyun nodded in agreement, then turned to everyone: "Okay, that's settled. After daybreak, we will split up and search for clues while helping the villagers resume their lives. Remember, we must not only punish evil, but also protect the peace of this land."

In the morning after the rain, the air was exceptionally fresh, and the sun shone through the clouds, shining on the wet earth, bringing new life. The four of them simply packed up and then acted according to the plan, each using their strengths to conduct investigations and assistance simultaneously.

The villagers were so grateful when they saw them working so hard. Several children gathered around Shen Muyun, asking him questions out of curiosity. Shen Muyun answered them patiently and taught him some simple martial arts. The scene was warm and hopeful.

In the afternoon, when the four gathered at the entrance of the village to share the intelligence they had collected, an important clue gradually surfaced - all clues pointed to a forgotten castle. It was said that it was the site of an ancient sect, but was later abandoned due to a fire and became a refuge for many lawless people.

"It seems that our destination has been determined." Shen Muyun's eyes were bright and his tone was firm. "Tonight, we will set out to uncover the truth behind all this."

As night falls again, the four of them get ready and set off on their journey to the castle. On the way, they are both worried about the unknown and persistent in justice. Under the moonlight, the four figures are closely connected, step by step, moving towards the depths of darkness, vowing to bring light to every corner.

"No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, as long as we have justice in our hearts, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome." Shen Muyun's words, like a vow, echoed in everyone's heart, and also foreshadowed that a more thrilling adventure is about to begin.

The outline of the castle looked particularly eerie under the moonlight, and the broken walls seemed to tell of its past glory and decline. The wind blew, bringing with it the rustling of dead branches and leaves, which intertwined with the footsteps of the four people, forming a prelude to an unknown song.

"It's terribly quiet here, everyone be careful." Li Xiaoyun whispered, his hand quietly gripping the hilt of the sword, ready to deal with any possible threats at any time.

As they entered the castle, a musty smell hit them in the face. The walls were covered with moss. A few collapsed places let in some moonlight, barely illuminating the way forward. The four of them dispersed, each relying on their keen senses and deep inner strength to explore every corner of the castle.

"Found it!" Ren Xiaoyao's voice came from behind a half-open stone door, and the other three quickly gathered. Behind the door was a winding stone staircase, with a dim firelight at the end.

Shen Muyun nodded and motioned for everyone to follow. As they went deeper and deeper, a strange fragrance began to permeate the air, making people feel dazed. Liu Piaoxue vigilantly took out a silk handkerchief, soaked it in water, and distributed it to everyone to resist the influence of this unknown fragrance.

At the end of the stone steps was a spacious basement with a huge alchemy furnace in the center. The fire was blazing, illuminating the group of black-robed people standing around. The black-robed man was standing in the front, playing with a bead that was shining with an evil light.

"You're finally here. I've been waiting for a long time." The man in black robe sneered, and a suffocating sense of oppression emanated from his body.

"Who are you? Why do you attack innocent villagers?" Shen Muyun asked harshly, while secretly gathering his internal strength, ready to take action at any time.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you will all die here today." Before the man in black robe finished speaking, the men in black around him rushed over like a tide, and a fierce battle was about to break out.

Swords flashed, fists whistled, and the four joined forces to fight against the tide of enemies. Liu Piaoxue's swordsmanship was light and precise, and each sword hit the vital point directly; Li Xiaoyun's heavy sword was like a mountain, and each strike made the ground tremble; Ren Xiaoyao's palm skills were unpredictable, both offensive and defensive; Shen Muyun was like a dragon and a tiger leaping, with sword energy running wild, resolving the enemy's offensive one by one.

During the fierce battle, Shen Muyun seized the opportunity and slashed the bead in the black-robed man's hand with a sword. Suddenly, the bead burst into dazzling light, and then a powerful force surged out from the bead, destroying the black-robed man and the entire formation in the basement.

The dust settled, and the castle returned to silence again. The four stood in the ruins, looking at the starry sky, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

"At least, the people in this land can sleep peacefully." Liu Piaoxue sighed softly, with both relief and fatigue in her eyes.

"Yes, I hope this peace can last forever." Ren Xiaoyao agreed, his eyes flashing with worry about the uncertainty of the future.

Shen Muyun patted their shoulders and said with a smile: "As long as we are still here, nothing can stop the light of justice. Let's go, tonight, we have reason to celebrate."

Although Li Xiaoyun remained silent, his eyes revealed recognition and determination. The four walked out of the castle side by side. Behind them was the peaceful night they had exchanged for with courage and wisdom, and ahead were more unknown challenges and adventures waiting for them.

"No matter what the road ahead holds, having you by my side is enough." Shen Muyun's words were full of trust and gratitude towards his partners, and also brought a temporary end to this adventure.

The castle stood on a desolate mountaintop, surrounded by mist, looking particularly eerie. Under the moonlight, its broken outline looked like a sleeping beast, quietly waiting for visitors. When the wind blew, the old window frames made a creaking sound, like a low whine, adding a bit of weirdness to the night.

"This is it." Liu Piaoxue said softly, with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness in her eyes. She tightened the sword in her hand, and was the first to step into the gate of the castle, her figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.

"Keep up, be careful of traps." Ren Xiaoyao reminded. He walked at the end of the team, vigilantly observing the movements around him. Years of experience in the martial arts world gave him a keen intuition about danger.

The interior of the castle was intricate, the corridors were deep and winding, and every step seemed to be stepping on the dust of history. Li Xiaoyun suddenly stopped and gently touched the wall with his fingers. A hidden mechanism was triggered, and a stone slab slowly moved away, revealing a secret passage.
