Chapter 273: The Mysterious Woman's Secret
Upon hearing the mysterious woman's voice, Liu Yu and the others followed without hesitation.
They walked through narrow alleys and across winding streams until they arrived at a secluded temple. The temple looked somewhat dilapidated, surrounded by overgrown weeds, exuding a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.
"This place looks kind of creepy," Xiaoqing said, shrinking her neck.
Liu Yu comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
As the group entered the temple, a musty, old smell filled the air.
Suddenly, a mysterious woman appeared before them. With a gentle wave of her sleeve, a faint light shone around them.
"Since you've followed me here, I'll tell you my secret," the mysterious woman said slowly.
Bai Suzhen said, "Miss, please speak."
The mysterious woman sighed: "I was originally a fairy from a nearby celestial mountain, named Zi Yao. Because I accidentally violated the celestial rules, I was imprisoned here."
"Oh? That's so pitiful," Xiaoqing said sympathetically.
Zi Yao continued, "I need your help to break the seal and return to the immortal mountain."
Liu Yu asked, "Then what should we do?"
Zi Yao said, "Deep within this temple, there is a powerful demon guarding the magic weapon that can be unsealed. As long as you defeat the demon and obtain the magic weapon, you can break my seal."
Pigsy muttered, "It's another monster. I'm so tired of fighting them."
Xu Xian encouraged him, "Bajie, we can't just stand by and watch someone die."
So, led by Ziyao, the group headed deeper into the temple.
The further you go in, the dimmer the light becomes, and the more eerie the atmosphere grows.
"Oh dear, I feel a chill." Xiaoqing gripped Liu Yu's arm tightly.
Liu Yu patted her hand: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Suddenly, a huge monster sprang out of the darkness. This monster was strangely shaped, with a blue face and fangs, and it also emitted a foul stench.
"Wow, it's so ugly!" Xiaoqing couldn't help but exclaim.
The monster roared and pounced on the group.
Liu Yu drew his sword and charged forward, engaging the monster in a fierce battle.
Zi Yao also used her magic, and beams of purple light shot towards the monster.
Bai Suzhen then used ice magic to freeze the monster's feet, slowing its movements.
Pigsy and Xu Xian also helped out. Although their magic wasn't very powerful, it relieved a lot of pressure for Liu Yu.
Seeing that things were going badly, the monster spewed out a cloud of black smoke, which immediately enveloped everyone and obstructed their vision.
"Everyone be careful!" Liu Yu shouted.
Just then, Xiaoqing had a flash of inspiration and used lightning magic to dispel the smoke.
The monster attacked again, and Liu Yu seized the opportunity to stab the monster in a vital spot with his sword.
The monster let out a miserable scream and collapsed to the ground.
"We finally defeated it!" Xiaoqing jumped up excitedly.
The group continued onward and finally found the magic weapon.
Zi Yao obtained the magical artifact, chanted the incantation, and the seal on her body gradually dissipated.
"Thank you all," Zi Yao said gratefully.
Just then, a clap of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
"Oh no, the pursuers from the Immortal Mountain are here!" Zi Yao's expression changed drastically.
A group of heavenly soldiers and generals appeared in the sky above the temple.
"Zi Yao, how dare you run away! Come back with us now and be punished!" the leading heavenly general shouted.
Zi Yao said, "I don't want to go back to be punished. I've been wronged!"
Liu Yu said, "You can't be unreasonable!"
The heavenly general sneered, "Hmph, mortals dare to meddle in other people's business!"
As he spoke, he swung his weapon, and a beam of light shot towards Liu Yu.
Liu Yu quickly dodged and engaged in battle with Tian Jiang.
Xiaoqing and the others also joined the battle, and for a time, magical lights crisscrossed, creating a very chaotic scene.
During the fierce battle, Liu Yu and Xiao Qing cooperated with each other, and their feelings for each other gradually deepened.
"Brother-in-law, watch out behind you!" Xiaoqing shouted.
Liu Yu turned around and swung his sword, repelling the heavenly soldiers who had launched a sneak attack.
"Xiaoqing, be careful too!" Liu Yu said with concern.
Bai Suzhen watched them from the side, a relieved smile on her face.
Pigsy and Xu Xian were not to be outdone, and fought fiercely with the heavenly soldiers and generals.
After a fierce battle, the group gradually gained the upper hand.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the general said, "Retreat!"
The heavenly soldiers and generals departed one after another.
"Finally, we drove them away." Pigsy collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
Zi Yao said, "Thank you all so much this time, I have no way to repay you."
Liu Yu said, "Miss, you don't need to be so polite. As long as you are safe, that's all that matters."
Zi Yao said, "I'm going back to the Immortal Mountain. Until we meet again."
After saying that, Zi Yao transformed into a beam of light and disappeared.
The group continued their journey...
