Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 460 Undercurrents Beneath Peace and a New Mission

In the days when peace was restored to the cultivation world, Lingxiao Pavilion once again became a place of reverence, and Zhang Peng's fame soared. Every day, in the martial arts arena of Lingxiao Pavilion, he imparted the profound mysteries of the Chaos Laws to the younger generation of cultivators. The disciples below the arena listened attentively, their pens flying across paper, jotting down key points. "The Chaos Laws are one of the most fundamental forces in the universe. They contain the beginning and the end of all things. We cultivators must find our own path within these endless changes," Zhang Peng's voice was loud and steady, echoing in the arena.

Murong Yu was in charge of instructing his disciples in swordsmanship. His Chaotic Breeze Sword technique was masterful, each move imbued with a unique charm. "Swordsmanship is not merely a display of strength, but also a cultivation of the mind. Only with a peaceful mind can one unleash the full power of swordsmanship," he said to his disciples as he demonstrated the moves. The disciples studied intently, striving to imitate his every movement.

In a secluded bamboo forest, Liu Ruoli shared techniques for using sonic power with a group of female disciples. She played her jade flute, its melodious notes echoing through the bamboo grove. The sonic waves transformed into invisible forces, sometimes gently soothing the hearts of the group, sometimes striking with deadly force against distant boulders. "Sonic power can be both strong and gentle; it can heal and defend. The key lies in how you control it," she said, her voice clear and melodious, yet brimming with power, just like the flute's notes.

However, beneath the surface calm, an undercurrent lurked. One day, while Zhang Peng was cultivating in his meditation room, he suddenly sensed a faint fluctuation of dark spiritual energy. This fluctuation was extremely subtle; had he not possessed an exceptionally keen perception of spiritual energy, he would have been completely unaware of it. He immediately opened his eyes and circulated his late-stage Nascent Soul spiritual energy, attempting to locate the source of this fluctuation. "This dark spiritual energy... seems to be related to the mysterious organization from before. Could they be plotting something in the shadows again?" A sense of unease welled up within him.

Meanwhile, while training his disciples in the martial arts arena, Murong Yu also sensed the unusual atmosphere around him. A sense of oppression seemed to permeate the air, making him vaguely uneasy. He stopped wielding his sword and looked around, but found nothing amiss. "Strange, something feels off," he muttered to himself.

Liu Ruoli also sensed this strange aura in the bamboo forest. Her flute playing paused slightly, her heart filled with doubt. "This aura doesn't seem to arise naturally. Could it be that some danger is about to befall us?" She put away her jade flute and quickly returned to Lingxiao Pavilion.

The three met in the council hall of Lingxiao Pavilion and shared their discoveries. Zhang Peng said with a solemn expression, "I'm worried that the mysterious organization hasn't been completely wiped out because of the last failure. They may be secretly accumulating strength, preparing to launch a new attack."

Murong Yu clenched his fist: "If they dare to come again, we will definitely not let them get away with it!"

Liu Ruoli nodded slightly: "But we can't let our guard down. We must figure out their plan first."

So the three began to secretly investigate the movements of the mysterious organization. They dispatched elite disciples from the Lingxiao Pavilion to gather information. However, the mysterious organization seemed to be extremely well hidden, and for several days in a row, they found no useful clues.

Just as they were getting anxious, a disciple rushed over with important news. "Seniors, we've discovered traces of some men in black robes in a small town near Lingxiao Pavilion. They're acting strangely, as if they're searching for something."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Peng and his companions immediately headed to the town. In an inn, they spotted the figure of the man in black robes. Zhang Peng activated the chaotic law power of his late-stage Nascent Soul realm, concealing his and his companions' presence, and quietly approached.

They heard the men in black robes whispering to each other: "This mission is very important. We must find that thing, or we will not be able to explain ourselves to our master."

"But this town is so big, how are we going to find it?"

"The master said that the item is nearby. If we search carefully, we're sure we can find it."

Zhang Peng's heart skipped a beat. He guessed that what the man in black was looking for was likely related to a new crisis. He gave Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli a wink, and the three of them prepared to make their move.

However, just as they were about to launch their attack, the man in black robes seemed to sense the danger and suddenly stood up, preparing to flee. Seeing this, Zhang Peng immediately cast "Law Cage," enveloping the man in black robes within it. "You evil bastards, you won't escape today!" he said coldly.

Seeing that he was trapped, the man in black immediately used dark magic to try to break free of the cage. Murong Yu unleashed the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," its sword energy crisscrossing as it attacked the man in black. Liu Ruoli played the "Sonic Chaos Shield" to prevent the man in black's magic from leaking out, and at the same time played the "Sonic Chaos Impact" to attack him.

Under the combined attack of the three, the black-robed man gradually became unable to withstand the onslaught. Seeing the situation was dire, one of the black-robed men suddenly produced a black sphere and squeezed it forcefully. The sphere instantly exploded, releasing a powerful surge of dark energy that blasted a gap in the cage. The black-robed man seized the opportunity to escape.

Zhang Peng and the others didn't give chase, knowing the man in black would surely reappear. They began searching the town for what the man in black was looking for, but after searching the entire town, they found nothing.

“It seems this thing is well hidden,” Zhang Peng said. “We must find it as soon as possible, otherwise, a new crisis may soon be looming.”

The three returned to Lingxiao Pavilion, filled with doubt and worry. They knew a new storm was brewing, and they had to be fully prepared…
