On a day in the stormy town, Qingyang and Lin'er experienced the ever-changing nature of the world. However, it seemed that the heavens had not finished testing them. As night fell, thick smoke rose from the east of the town, and the fire dyed half of the sky red.
On this quiet night, the town was suddenly engulfed in intense flames. The unexpected fire left the residents in panic and disarray. In their haste, they tried to rescue their belongings from their homes, but the fierce fire prevented them from getting close. Amidst the chaos, a figure in red appeared quietly in front of Qingyang and Lin'er. Her presence seemed to alleviate the urgency of the situation.
It was a beautiful woman, with a hint of mystery in her eyes and a faint smile. Her gaze swept over Qingyang and Lin'er, and then she said lightly, "Long time no see, I am Red Dust."
Qingyang and Lin'er were momentarily unable to react, but soon they recognized the woman in front of them. Red Dust, she was once a famous female thief in the martial arts world, known for her superb disguise skills and agility. However, she later gave up her past for justice and became their comrade. Her appearance brought a hint of surprise to Qingyang and Lin'er.
Qingyang quickly grasped the hand of Hongchen and said with a smile, "Hongchen, it's great to have you here. With you around, our operation will go more smoothly."
Hongchen smiled charmingly, her smile as brilliant as spring flowers, instantly easing the tense atmosphere around her. She looked at the burning flames and said, "The fire is fierce, very unusual. It's very likely that someone intentionally set the fire, trying to find an opportunity in the chaos."
Lin'er also felt that something was amiss. She tightly gripped the hilt of her sword and said, "We must quickly uncover the truth and protect the residents here."
So, the three of them decided to split up and investigate the source of the fire to uncover the truth. Qingyang and Lin'er hurried towards the source of the fire, while Hongchen turned into a red shadow, disappearing into the night. Her figure was like a ghost in the night, swiftly darting through every corner of the town, searching for possible clues.
Qingyang and Lin'er quickly arrived at the source of the fire, only to see a group of black-clothed people setting fire. Qingyang sneered, drew his sword, and slashed forward, a cold light cutting through the dark night. The black-clothed people were pushed back by Qingyang's sword energy, but soon they reacted and launched an attack on Qingyang and Lin'er.
The tense atmosphere of the battle erupted in the night sky. Qingyang and Lin'er stood back to back on the narrow battlefield, facing a sea of black, as the black-clothed people surged towards them like ghosts from the underworld. The rhythm of the battle drums suddenly accelerated, and each clash of swords made the heart tremble.
Qingyang's swordsmanship is firm and decisive, with each strike carrying the force of thunder. His gaze is sharp, and his sword moves with agility, using every gap as a starting point for his attacks. Meanwhile, Lin'er moves like a ghost among the encircling figures in black, her swordsmanship nimble and each dance of her blade causing the black-clad figures to fall in agony.
At this moment, Hongchen also arrives at the battlefield. Her movements are agile, and she effortlessly neutralizes several hidden attacks along the way, her eyes flashing with a cold light. Her appearance is like a bolt of lightning in the dark, illuminating the direction of the battlefield.
She smiled charmingly, and her figure suddenly flew up, turning into a red shadow weaving through the crowd of black-clothed people. Every time she struck, a black-clothed person would scream and fall to the ground. Her long whip danced, forming perfect circles, rendering the black-clothed people powerless to fight back.
The combined efforts of the three finally repelled all the black-clothed people. Qingyang and Lin'er took the opportunity to catch their breath, but Red Dust showed no sign of relaxation. She looked at the houses engulfed in flames and said, "This place is no longer safe. We should leave immediately."
Qingyang tightly gripped the sword handle and said, "The mortal world is chaotic, we must find a safe place immediately."
Lin'er also sensed the danger around them and nodded, "The most important thing now is to protect the villagers and keep them away from this fire."
Three people moved quickly, Qingyang and Lin'er led the villagers to evacuate, while Hongchen guarded around them to ensure their safety. With their efforts, the villagers finally moved away from the sea of fire and found temporary safety. In this chaotic and devastated land, their only thought was to find the mastermind behind the scenes and let the villagers return to a peaceful life.
Qingyang and Lin'er followed in the footsteps of Hongchen, leaving the area of the fire, but they did not relax their vigilance. The three took refuge in a nearby teahouse and began to discuss the possible reasons for the arson.
"The fierceness of this fire clearly indicates it was intentional," Red Dust said in a deep voice, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes. "And, I found these near the fire scene."
Red Dust displayed some objects she found near the source of the fire, including a half-burnt carrier pigeon and some peculiar symbols. Qingyang picked up the symbols and examined them closely, a pensive look appearing on his forehead.
"These symbols seem to be part of some kind of formation," Qingyang said slowly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"Formation?" Lin'er looked at Qingyang in surprise.
Qingyang nodded and explained, "This formation seems to be used to conceal certain people or things. It's very likely that this arson was done to cover up the tracks of certain people, or to divert our attention."
Hongchen also agreed with Qingyang's view, and she came up with more speculations: "Perhaps, this fire was meant to lure us here, while the real purpose is to carry out other conspiracies when we are not paying attention."
The faces of the three people all showed a serious expression. They knew that this arson incident was definitely not accidental, and there must be a bigger conspiracy waiting for them behind it.
Lin'er suddenly stood up and said firmly, "No matter what, we cannot let them succeed. We need to find out the truth and expose the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Qingyang and Hongchen also stood up without hesitation, their gazes determined and resolute.
In the dim light, the three of them began to study the peculiar symbols, attempting to find some clues within them. Every detail could potentially be the key to unraveling this conspiracy.
The first ray of morning sunlight illuminated the sky, and the three who had stayed up all night finally discovered some patterns within the symbols, pointing to a dense forest to the north of the town.
The three tightly gripped their weapons and ventured into the depths of the forest.
As they entered, the atmosphere in the jungle seemed to become even more tense. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew through, and a group of black-clad figures leaped down from the trees, surrounding the three people in the center.
"Haha, I can't believe you fell for it," the leader of the black-clad figures sneered, a cunning smile on his face as his eyes gleamed with indifference.
Qingyang did not hesitate at all, instantly drew his sword, leaped forward, and repelled several black-clothed men with the flashing of his sword. Lin'er and Hongchen also displayed their extraordinary skills, and the three of them engaged in a fierce battle with the black-clothed men.
Seeing this, the leader of the black-clothed men sneered, threw a smoke bomb from his sleeve, and instantly shrouded the battlefield in smoke. Taking advantage of the chaos, he took out an ancient scroll, rapidly chanted an incantation, and the scroll flew into the air, transforming into a beam of light that trapped Qingyang and Lin'er within a massive formation.
Red Dust quickly swung the poisoned whip towards the leader of the black-clothed men, but he easily dodged it. He sneered, "This formation is called the 'Netherworld Formation,' enough to trap you all forever."
Lin'er felt a strong sense of oppression within the formation, but her determined gaze showed no wavering. She instantly understood the mystery of the formation and shouted, " Qingyang, Red Dust, attack the core of the formation!"
Qingyang and Hongchen immediately joined forces to attack the core of the formation. Under their strong assault, the light of the formation gradually dimmed and eventually shattered and dissipated.
The leader of the black-clothed men was shocked and terrified at the sight, attempting to escape, but was pierced through the chest by Qingyang and fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with unwillingness and fear, ultimately turning into a puddle of dust that dissipated in the wind.
Lin'er picked up the ancient scroll from the ground and discovered that it contained all the secrets of the ghostly array, as well as some secret communications of the men in black. It turned out that the mastermind behind the arson was trying to tarnish the reputation of Qingyang and Lin'er in order to achieve some unspeakable goal.
The three of them handed over the ancient scroll and the body of the leader of the men in black to the authorities, and revealed the truth to the townspeople. When the truth was revealed to the world, the entire town cheered for the bravery of Qingyang, Lin'er, and Red Dust, and their names once again became legendary in the martial arts world.
