Chapter 1381: Chapter 678: Entering Cloud Hidden Mountain Villa! Blood Moon Cult?
Luo Chen, hearing this, felt a stirring in his heart.
He too had a deep interest in cultivation.
Moreover, he had heard some legends about Cloud Hidden Villa. If he could witness it firsthand, it would be a beautiful thing.
So he nodded and said, "Since Brother Liang has such ambition, how can I, Luo Chen, sit idly by? Let’s go together, and it will be good to have someone to rely on."
Liang Qi was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Brother Luo, your righteousness is most appreciated by Liang. With your companionship, this journey will surely be smoother."
The two had made their decision, and the next morning, they left Nanqi City and embarked on their journey to Cloud Hidden Villa.
...
About a few days later.
The two had already arrived outside the villa.
In front of them was a landscape shrouded in mist, with peaks looming like an Immortal Realm.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi exchanged a glance, both seeing excitement and anticipation in each other’s eyes.
They carefully stepped into this mysterious domain, afraid of disturbing its tranquility.
However, just as they were approaching the villa, a sharp sound of swords suddenly rang out, followed by a Sword Light slicing through the sky like lightning, heading directly towards them.
Seeing this, Luo Chen and Liang Qi quickly used their movement technique to dodge, while vigilantly surveying their surroundings.
They saw a young man in white, holding a Longsword, stepping out from the mist.
He slowly said, "Who are you two? Why do you trespass in Cloud Hidden Villa?"
Luo Chen quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands, "I am Luo Chen, and this is Liang Qi. We are here to seek the true meaning of martial arts, with no ill intentions. We hope you can accommodate us."
The young man in white, hearing this, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if scrutinizing the two.
After a moment, he slowly sheathed his Longsword and said in a deep voice, "Cloud Hidden Villa is no ordinary place; outsiders are not allowed to enter at will."
"But seeing your sincerity, I can take you to see the Villa Master. Whether the Villa Master is willing to take you in will depend on your fortune."
Luo Chen and Liang Qi were overjoyed to hear this and quickly expressed their gratitude.
Afterward, under the guidance of the young man in white, they passed through layers of mist and finally arrived at the core area of Cloud Hidden Villa, a courtyard surrounded by a sea of flowers.
In the center of the courtyard, an elder with white hair and beard was meditating, seemingly isolated from the world.
The young man in white approached and quietly reported the situation, and only then did the elder slowly open his eyes, his gaze sharp as he observed Luo Chen and Liang Qi.
After a moment, the elder smiled slightly and said, "You two young and promising ones, with a heart for martial arts, are truly rare."
"Though Cloud Hidden Villa does not easily accept disciples, today I see that you two have extraordinary fortune, perhaps destined to be with this villa."
"How about this, I’ll give you an opportunity. If you can pass the villa’s trial, you may stay to study martial arts."
Hearing this, Luo Chen and Liang Qi were both excited and nervous.
They knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they must go all out.
So, the two respectfully bowed to the elder, expressing their acceptance and anticipation of the trial.
The elder nodded, gesturing for a servant nearby to lead them to the trial grounds.
The trial grounds were located in the back mountain of the villa, a dense forest reportedly filled with countless traps and Demonic Beasts. Only by overcoming numerous challenges could they prove their courage and wisdom.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi stepped into the forest side by side, greeted by an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
The trees around were towering, and the dense foliage nearly blocked out the sky, with only mottled light and shadow dancing on the ground.
They knew this would be a significant turning point on their path of cultivation, so they were particularly cautious.
The first challenge they encountered was a foggy area.
The mist was so thick that one could hardly see their hands, and it hid many traps and illusions.
Luo Chen, relying on his keen intuition and extraordinary movement technique, navigated through the fog, avoiding one trap after another.
Meanwhile, Liang Qi used his familiarity with plants, touching the texture and scent of the trees, to find the correct direction.
The two worked together, eventually successfully emerging from the foggy area.
The second challenge was a group of Demonic Beasts.
These beasts varied in shape, some resembling tigers and leopards, extremely ferocious.
Others had bizarre forms, skilled at stealthy ambushes.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi each applied what they had learned, engaging in fierce combat with the beasts.
Luo Chen’s Swordsmanship was sharp, each strike accurately hitting the beasts’ vital points.
Liang Qi, on the other hand, used his agility and intelligence to cleverly dodge the beasts’ attacks and find opportunities to deliver fatal blows.
After a tough battle, they finally defeated all the Demonic Beasts.
The third and most difficult challenge was climbing a perilous peak.
This peak was not only steep and challenging to climb but was also perpetually shrouded in thunderstorms, where any misstep could result in certain death.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi supported each other, step by step, towards the summit, driven by their tenacious will and relentless effort.
During this process, they encountered numerous dangers and challenges but overcame them all with wisdom and courage.
Finally, when the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining on their weary yet determined faces, they knew they had successfully completed the trial.
Returning to the courtyard, the elder was already waiting there.
He looked at Luo Chen and Liang Qi, covered in dust and exhausted, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
He slowly said, "Your performance exceeded my expectations, displaying not only remarkable courage and wisdom but also the important qualities of harmony and unity between you."
"Cloud Hidden Villa welcomes your joining."
With the elder’s words, a surge of indescribable excitement and joy welled up in the hearts of Luo Chen and Liang Qi.
