Chapter 103 A sudden storm and a new danger
The deafening cheers were still echoing in Bi Yao's ears, and flowers and applause surrounded her and Li Yuan.
The joy of defeating the black shadow was still lingering in everyone's hearts, and the banquet was bustling with cheers.
Bi Yao was dressed in red, looking bright and beautiful, with a faint smile on her lips, occasionally responding to the toasts from the people around her.
Li Yuan was as talkative as ever, describing the thrilling scenes of the battle with great enthusiasm, making everyone laugh.
However, the hustle and bustle of the feast could not conceal a hint of unease.
Bi Yao keenly felt that a cold aura was spreading from a corner of the fairy world, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
She looked around calmly, trying to find the source of the breath, but found nothing.
"Yao'er, what are you looking at?" Li Yuan leaned close to Bi Yao's ear and asked with concern.
Bi Yao retracted her gaze and shook her head, "Nothing, maybe I'm just too tired."
"Yes, we do need a good rest after the battle." Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand considerately, "After these celebrations are over, we will find a quiet place to relax."
Bi Yao forced a smile, but the uneasiness in her heart grew stronger.
She knew that this dark aura was extraordinary and that a bigger crisis was brewing.
Over the next few days, the dark aura grew stronger and stronger, even beginning to affect the surrounding spiritual energy.
Some cultivators with lower levels of cultivation have already shown symptoms of discomfort, causing panic.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan understood that they could no longer sit idly by.
"We must find out the source of this dark aura." Bi Yao said with a serious expression.
Li Yuan also put away his usual playful laughter and said, "I agree. Although we have just experienced a war, we cannot let the world of immortal heroes fall into crisis again."
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of determination.
They knew it would be a more difficult challenge, but they had no choice but to do it.
Just as they were about to leave, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of them with a strange smile on his face. "Two heroes, long time no see..."
Bi Yao and Li Yuan felt a chill in their hearts, and a chill ran up from the soles of their feet.
"You are..." Li Yuan asked warily.
The man in black did not answer, but stretched out his right hand. A ball of black mist condensed in his palm, and he let out a creepy laugh.
"It seems that your good days are over..."
The black fog rolled, bringing a suffocating sense of oppression, and quickly attacked Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
The two reacted quickly, each using their own magic weapon to resist the sudden attack.
Li Yuan's golden sword shone brightly, cutting through the black fog and making a sharp sound.
Bi Yao took out an ancient bronze mirror, the mirror surface was shining and reflected the black fog back.
The man in black obviously didn't expect them to fight back so quickly, and sneered: "You have some skills, but do you think you can stop me like this?" He formed seals with his hands, and the black mist became thicker, forming a huge skull with a bloody mouth that opened and swallowed the two men.
At this critical moment, several streaks of light flew from afar and landed beside Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
They are their friends, coming to support them.
"Li Yuan, Bi Yao, we are here to lend you a hand!" one of them shouted.
Everyone worked together and fought fiercely with the man in black.
However, the strength of the man in black was far beyond their imagination. Even if everyone joined forces, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
The battle lasted for several hours and everyone was exhausted.
At this moment, some cultivators who originally supported them began to whisper, their eyes full of suspicion.
"Could this dark aura be brought by them?" "Yes, ever since they arrived, disasters have been constant in the world of immortal heroes..."
These doubts were like sharp knives, piercing the hearts of Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
They fought tooth and nail to protect this world, but were met with such suspicion in return, leaving their hearts filled with grievance and anger.
Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand tightly, looked into her eyes, and said word by word: "Yao'er, don't care about what they say, we know what we should do." Bi Yao leaned on Li Yuan's shoulder, feeling the strength he passed on, and a warm current surged in her heart.
"Don't pay any attention to these ignorant people!" Li Yuan shouted angrily, and the golden sword in his hand shone brighter, forcing the man in black to retreat.
He turned to look at those who questioned them, his eyes cold, "Once this matter is resolved, I will ask for an explanation from you all!"
However, Bi Yao held him back.
She took a deep breath, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
They didn't rush directly to the source of the dark aura as usual...
Bi Yao whispered in Li Yuan's ear, "I have a feeling this isn't going to be that simple..."
Bi Yao and Li Yuan ignored everyone's doubts, nor did they rush directly to the source of the dark aura. Instead, they turned and walked towards the depths of the forest.
Their actions made everyone even more confused and they started talking about it.
"Where are they going?" "Have they given up?" "Or do they have other plans?"
Bi Yao and Li Yuan's target is a secret place deep in the forest, where live some small creatures with special abilities.
These little creatures had helped them in previous battles, and Bi Yao believed that they might know some secrets about the dark aura.
After walking through the dense jungle for several hours, they finally found the habitat of the small creatures.
The little creatures warmly welcomed their arrival and told them about a secret passage that could help them reach the source of the dark aura more quickly.
"This passage is a shortcut to the source of darkness, but it is full of dangers, so you must be careful." The leader of the small creatures warned solemnly.
"Thank you for your help." Bi Yao said gratefully.
In addition to the information about the secret passage, the little creatures also gave them a special magic weapon - the Wings of Guardian.
This magical weapon can change its shape according to the needs of the user and provide powerful protection.
"This magical weapon is the most precious treasure of our clan. I hope it can help you defeat the darkness."
After bidding farewell to the little creature, Bi Yao and Li Yuan embarked on a shortcut to the source of darkness.
This passage is more dangerous than they imagined. All kinds of strange creatures are lurking in it and attacking them from time to time.
However, with the protection of the wings of guardian, they overcame all obstacles and dangers.
The wings of protection sometimes turn into a solid shield to resist fierce attacks; sometimes turn into a sharp blade to kill the invading enemies; sometimes turn into a pair of light wings to carry them across dangerous canyons.
As they got closer to the source of darkness, the air around them became more and more oppressive.
Suddenly, a huge stone door appeared in front of the passage. There were hideous patterns carved on the stone door, emitting a heart-pounding aura.
"It seems we have reached our destination." Li Yuan tightened his grip on the golden sword in his hand.
Bi Yao nodded, a determined glint in her eyes.
She transformed the Guardian Wings into a longbow, put on an arrow that shone with golden light, and aimed at a special symbol on the stone gate.
"Are you ready?" Bi Yao looked at Li Yuan.
"Anytime." Li Yuan's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Bi Yao took a deep breath and released the bowstring in his hand.
The arrow turned into a golden light and shot towards the symbol on the stone gate.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, the stone door slowly opened, and an even thicker breath of darkness rushed towards us.
"Be careful!" Li Yuan pulled Bi Yao behind him and looked at the scene behind the stone gate vigilantly.
Behind the stone door was a pitch-black space where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
"Let's go in." Bi Yao's voice was unusually calm.
Li Yuan nodded, and walked into the darkness side by side with Bi Yao...
"Wait..." A weak voice came from behind.
The black fog rolled, and the figures of Bi Yao and Li Yuan were lost in it.
Behind the stone gate was not the dark space as imagined, but a winding passage downwards.
After taking only a few steps, a disgusting fishy smell hit my nose, making me almost vomit.
Suddenly, cracks appeared on the walls on both sides of the passage, and countless dry and twisted claws stretched out from them, grabbing towards Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
"Be careful!" Li Yuan shouted softly, and swung the golden sword into a curtain of light, cutting off all the attacking claws.
However, after the claws were cut off, they regenerated quickly, as if endless.
At the same time, bursts of roaring came from the depths of the passage, which was creepy.
Immediately afterwards, a group of monsters corroded by the aura of darkness emerged from the depths of the passage. They had different shapes and hideous faces, and exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
The monsters screamed sharply and rushed forward, surrounding Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's golden sword fell like a torrential rain, chopping the monsters into pieces. However, the number of monsters was too large, and the speed of killing was far less than the speed of their emergence.
A monster resembling a giant python suddenly jumped out from the side, opened its bloody mouth and bit Bi Yao.
"Yao'er, be careful!" Li Yuan exclaimed, and his figure flashed, standing in front of Bi Yao.
The giant python's sharp teeth bit Li Yuan's shoulder fiercely, and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
The small creatures around exclaimed in surprise and looked at Li Yuan worriedly.
When Bi Yao saw this, his heart tightened and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
She quickly took out the Wings of Guardian and transformed it into a longbow that shone with holy light.
"Li Yuan, hold on!" Bi Yao pulled the bowstring to its full extent, and a golden arrow condensed out, emitting a powerful purifying force.
"Swoosh!" The arrow flew out and hit the giant python's head accurately.
The giant python let out a shrill scream, its body trembled violently, and the dark aura on its body quickly dissipated.
Bi Yao took advantage of the situation and transformed the wings of protection into a sharp blade, cutting off the giant python's head with one blow.
As the giant python fell, other monsters were also affected. The dark aura on their bodies gradually weakened and their attacks became slower.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan seized the opportunity and worked together to repel the remaining monsters one by one.
The passage returned to calm again, only the wound on Li Yuan's shoulder was still bleeding.
Bi Yao quickly bandaged his wound, her eyes filled with worry.
"I'm fine." Li Yuan forced a smile and comforted.
The two continued to move along the passage and finally reached the source of the dark aura.
What appeared before them was a huge black stone door, covered with complex runes, emitting a heart-pounding dark aura.
The runes on the stone gate are gradually breaking apart, and a powerful unknown force is constantly impacting the seal.
"This power..." Bi Yao's face was solemn, "Where does it come from?" At this moment, the crack on the stone door suddenly widened, and a black shadow flashed through the gap in the door.
"What is that?" Li Yuan looked around warily.
Bi Yao didn't say anything, but slowly stretched out her hand and pointed at the darkness behind the stone door...
"It's coming out..."
