"This palace is like a mystery, the further you go, the more dangerous it becomes." Chin Feng tightly gripped the sword handle, a sense of foreboding gradually rising in his heart.
Sung nodded, looking around vigilantly.
Two people entered the palace and immediately discovered that the entire hall was filled with strange mechanisms. The portraits on the walls came to life, and the ground emitted a peculiar glow.
As they reached the center of the hall, a mechanism suddenly activated, and the doors of the hall closed abruptly, extinguishing the lights.
"There's a trap!" Sung hurriedly warned.
But it was already too late, one by one, ghostly warriors emerged from the darkness, wielding translucent long swords, staring coldly at Chin Feng and Sung.
"These seem to be the souls of deceased warriors, trapped here as guardians," analyzed Chin Feng.
"Now what should we do?" asked Sung.
"We must defeat them," Chin Feng said, drawing his sword with a cold glint in his eyes.
Chin Feng wielded the cold steel longsword, each strike carrying a chill that pierced through the Phantom Warrior's body. His gaze was sharp, and his evasions were precise, leaving the enemy's attacks futile. However, the warriors' attacks were extremely peculiar; their swordsmanship was unpredictable, and their forms flowed like water.
Sung uses agile movements to engage with the enemy, his twin blades drawing streaks of light in the air, each strike dispersing the ghosts. However, the number of ghosts seems endless - as one disappears, another emerges.
The battle grows more intense, forcing Chin Feng and Sung to fight back to back. Their breath becomes rapid, their sword dance growing heavier and heavier.
"We must find a breakthrough!" Sung shouted.
Chin Feng keenly spotted a mechanism on the ceiling and shouted, "Follow me!" He flipped and jumped onto a suspended candelabrum, with Sung closely following.
This leap temporarily freed them from the encirclement of the Phantom Warrior. Chin Feng quickly found the switch for the mechanism and with one swift stroke, the entire hall resounded with a loud noise.
The mechanism activated, and suddenly a huge light array rose from the ground, sucking all the Phantom Warriors into it. The hall returned to tranquility once again.
Exhausted, the two jumped down from the candlestick and exchanged a glance, seeing the fear and determination in each other's eyes.
The battle was extremely difficult, but the two finally defeated all the Phantom Warriors.
Suddenly, another door opened in the hall.
The two tightly gripped their weapons and cautiously stepped through the door. Behind it was a massive underground palace, filled with all sorts of strange and ancient weapons. Even more shocking, at the center was a massive stone tablet with the portraits of their sect's ancestors and the mysterious masked figure.
"This place seems to be a storage for historical secrets," Sung said.
"This mysterious figure seems to be related to the death of our master!" Chin Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of alertness.
"We must be careful," Sung said, "There must be even more secrets hidden in this palace."
The two continued deeper, and when they reached the innermost part of the palace, they found a scroll that contained an astonishing secret.
The secrets recorded on that ancient scroll are actually related to the "Seven Heavenly Sword Technique." The book describes that the true power of this sword technique is not for attack, but rather a crucial key to protecting the balance of the entire martial arts world. It has the function of suppressing the evil forces within the martial arts world, and it also mentions an evil cult organization called " Shadow Sect."
" Shadow Sect " is said to be composed of fallen masters from the martial arts world, who pursue absolute power and authority, using any means to control and disrupt the balance of the martial arts world. Their goal is to obtain all the secrets of the "Seven Heavenly Sword Technique" in order to release its suppression of evil, thus bringing the entire martial arts world under their control.
The scroll also mentions that the senior members of the "Shadow Sect" all wear special masks, and they are lurking within various major sects, including the sect of "Chin Feng."
It's unbelievable that my master's death is related to this cult organization. He saw through the conspiracy of the "Shadow Sect," worked hard to protect the secret of the "Seven Heavenly Sword Technique," and ultimately was betrayed and assassinated.
Chin Feng and Sung are increasingly realizing that the world they live in is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but rather hides deeper conspiracies and power struggles. Their master's death is just the tip of the iceberg.
"So it turns out, all of this is a conspiracy!" Chin Feng exclaimed excitedly.
"There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this," Sung frowned and said vigilantly.
Chin Feng clenched his fists, "We must stop all of this, avenge our master, and rid the martial arts world of this harmful sect."
"Indeed," Chin Feng tucked the scroll into his arms, "These are just the tip of the iceberg. We must continue to investigate."
The two of them left the palace, and the night had grown deep. Chin Feng looked at the distant mountains and rivers, feeling the vastness and mystery of the martial world. He knew that the journey ahead was far from over.
"Brother Chin Feng," Sung patted Chin Feng's shoulder, "Should we tell the others in the sect about this discovery?"
Chin Feng remained silent for a moment, then shook his head, "We can't be sure who the traitor within the sect is. Once the news leaks, it might startle the snake in the grass."
"What should we do next?" Sung asked.
"Let's first return to the Martial Arts Sect and observe the reaction of the sect members to our intrusion into Soul Valley," Chin Feng replied.
"Okay, I will follow in the footsteps of Brother Chin Feng and return with him," Sung said firmly.
The two shook hands and jointly decided to continue investigating the truth behind their master's murder and bring the real culprit to justice.
Under the moonlight, the two figures gradually moved further away, leaving behind only the quiet night and an unresolved mystery.
However, someone had been secretly observing all of this. In a hidden corner of the palace, a mysterious figure wearing a mask looked down upon the backs of the two individuals, with a hint of inexplicable light flashing in their eyes.
"These two kids actually broke into the forbidden area and found the clues left by Liu Mian," the mysterious person muttered, "It seems that the plan must be carried out ahead of schedule."
Then, he disappeared into the darkness, leaving only deeper shadows and more mysteries behind.
