Chapter 325 Mountain Village

Faced with danger, Fang Yue did not panic.

He knew that he had to stay calm at this moment to deal with the next crisis.

He immediately fought back!

He dodged the opponent's black wolf with a flash of his body, and at the same time activated the energy in his body, preparing to launch a counterattack.

Zhu Linlang was beside Fang Yue, watching the battle nervously. She knew that she could not help much, so she could only pray silently that Fang Yue could defeat his opponent.

The energy surged in Fang Yue's body. He flipped his palm and a bright stream of energy shot out, directly attacking the leader of the men in black.

The leader of the men in black sneered and also activated his energy to meet Fang Yue's attack.

The two streams of energy collided fiercely in the air, bursting out dazzling sparks.

Fang Yue's body was like the wind, moving quickly around the leader of the men in black, and each attack was aimed at the opponent's vital points.

The leader of the men in black was forced to retreat step by step by Fang Yue's attack. He was secretly shocked. He did not expect that this seemingly young opponent was so powerful.

According to the information from the worship department, the fighting power shown by this boy is not Yixing Dacheng, why is he the one who is at a disadvantage now?

The black-clothed leader was feeling more and more depressed. He originally thought that he could easily defeat Fang Yue with his own strength, but now it seems that things are not that simple.

Fang Yue's attack was like a storm, which made him overwhelmed.

Each attack was full of power and precision, as if he could see through every move of the black-clothed leader.

Facing Fang Yue's fierce offensive, the black-clothed leader had to go all out.

He tried his best to mobilize the vitality in his body and tried to resist Fang Yue's attack.

However, Fang Yue's attack was too sharp, making him feel powerless.

"No, we can't continue like this. You guys go and take down the daughter of the King of Han!"

The black-clothed leader suddenly ordered. He realized that they might not be able to defeat Fang Yue directly in the face of Fang Yue's fierce attack, so he decided to change his strategy.

Several black-clothed men responded and quickly turned to Zhu Linlang, intending to use her as a hostage to contain Fang Yue.

Fang Yue was prepared for the sudden change of tactics by the leader of the men in black.

Before the battle began, he had already considered various possible situations, including the possibility that the other party might try to capture Zhu Linlang as a hostage.

Therefore, when the men in black rushed towards Zhu Linlang, Fang Yue was not panicked.

He flashed and appeared beside Zhu Linlang at an incredible speed, protecting her behind him.

At the same time, he waved his palm, and the powerful energy fluctuation instantly repelled the men in black who tried to approach.

"If you want to catch her, you have to get through me first!" Fang Yue said coldly, his eyes revealing a firm determination.

Seeing this, the leader of the men in black cursed in his heart. He didn't expect Fang Yue to react so quickly and decisively.

He knew that it was impossible to catch Zhu Linlang, and now he could only retreat.

Faced with the situation in front of him, the leader of the men in black made a quick judgment. He understood that continuing to fight was not good for them, and Fang Yue's strength exceeded their expectations.

"Retreat!" The leader of the men in black gave a decisive order, his voice revealing helplessness and unwillingness.

Following his order, the remaining men in black acted quickly and began to evacuate the battlefield in an orderly manner. They knew that this was not the time to entangle, and preserving strength was the most important thing.

Fang Yue did not pursue, he stood in place, looking at the back of the man in black with cold eyes. He knew that although the battle was over, the conspiracy and struggle behind it were far from over.

Zhu Linlang walked out from behind Fang Yue, she looked at Fang Yue's back, her eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

She knew that these people came to rob and kill because of his father, and Fang Yue was implicated by him.

"Thank you, Fang Yue." Zhu Linlang said softly.

Fang Yue turned around, looked at Zhu Linlang, and smiled, "I'm glad you're okay."

Fang Yue's smile made Zhu Linlang feel relieved, but she was still worried, "These people are obviously coming for me, and I've implicated you."

Fang Yue shook his head, "Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to leave this place as soon as possible, in case they have a backup plan."

Zhu Linlang nodded, she knew Fang Yue was right.

The two quickly cleaned up the battlefield and left this dangerous place.

On the way back to the city, Zhu Linlang remained silent.

She was thinking that this incident was obviously aimed at her, she couldn't always rely on Fang Yue's protection, she needed to become stronger herself.

Fang Yue saw her thoughts and said softly, "Don't worry, I will always be with you, and we will face the challenges of the future together."

When Zhu Linlang heard Fang Yue's comfort, a warm current surged in her heart. She looked up at Fang Yue with a firm light in her eyes, "I will also work hard to practice and will not let you face danger alone."

After hearing this, Fang Yue's eyes flashed with admiration. He knew that Zhu Linlang was not a person who was willing to rely on others. She had her own strength and persistence.

"Okay, let's work together." Fang Yue said with a smile.

Then, the two of them repacked their luggage and continued to move forward.

However, this time, they avoided the official road and chose a more secret path to move forward.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang both understood that although they had won the previous battle, the forces behind the men in black would never give up.

Therefore, they must be more cautious to avoid falling into danger again.

On the trail, dense woods provided them with natural cover, but at the same time they also made their journey more difficult.

That night, the two came to a village deep in the mountains.

This village seems isolated from the world, silent and mysterious. Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang decided to stay here for one night to recover their strength.

They were led into a hut by enthusiastic villagers. The furnishings in the house were simple but neat.

The villagers told them that the village had little contact with the outside world, but it was also able to stay away from the disputes of the world.

In the dead of night, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang sat around the stove. Zhu Linlang cooked a pot of hot tea, and the fragrance of tea overflowed.

"Fang Yue, even the people at the shrine came to rob and kill us. It seems that my father is really...?" Zhu Linlang couldn't help but ask.

Fang Yue looked at Zhu Linlang, a deep light flashed in his eyes.

He understood Zhu Linlang's doubts and worries, and also knew that her mood must be very complicated now.

But he didn't answer the question.

Because, Zhu Linlang was actually determined in her heart, but it was just hard to accept it for a while.

Fang Yue reached out and gently held Zhu Linlang's hand, conveying warmth and strength to her.

"Linlang, I know this news is difficult for you to accept. But no matter what happens, I will be by your side and we will face it together."

His voice was low and firm, as if it could penetrate the fog of the night and bring a ray of light to Zhu Linlang.

Zhu Linlang felt the warmth of Fang Yue's palm, and the panic and confusion in her heart calmed down a little.

She looked up at Fang Yue, with tears in her eyes, "Fang Yue, tell me, why is my father like this?

Mother, sister, brother, and brother, I'm afraid they are all in danger now. Why would he do this? "

Fang Yue sighed softly, "Linlang, some things are not as simple as they appear. Royal disputes and power struggles are often much more complicated than we imagine.

Maybe your father has his own considerations and difficulties, but we can't know the truth yet.

However, you have to believe that no matter what happens, I will be by your side to face it with you and find out the truth together. "

Zhu Linlang nodded, and the panic in her heart calmed down a little.

She knew that the most important thing now was not to dwell on the past, but to find a way to solve the current problem and find her mother and siblings to ensure their safety.

"Thank you, Fang Yue."

Zhu Linlang whispered, with a firm light shining in her eyes, "I will be strong, and we will face the challenges of the future together."

Listening to Zhu Linlang's words, Fang Yue's eyes flashed with appreciation.

He knew very well that this weak woman had shown rare tenacity and determination in the face of great changes in her family and country.

"Okay, let's work together and we will be able to get through this difficulty."

Fang Yue said with a smile, holding Zhu Linlang's hand tightly, as if he wanted to pass on his power to her.

It was late at night, but the stove in the hut was still burning, emitting a warm light.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang sat side by side, their figures looking particularly firm in the firelight.

At the same time, in a certain house in the mountain village.

"Village chief, those two people have settled down." A young villager reported to the old man sitting at the table.

The old man nodded, "Yes, I understand. Where do you think they come from?"

"From their accents, they seem to be from the south. Moreover, that young man's skills are very good. I think they may not be ordinary people." The young villager replied.

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "No matter who they are, since they have come to our place, they are our guests. You must tell the villagers to wait until you find out their details before taking action."

After a night's rest, both Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang had recovered a lot of energy. The next morning they got up early and prepared to continue their journey.

Before leaving, Fang Yue specifically asked the villagers about the nearby terrain and road conditions in order to better plan their route.

"Oh, this guest can't leave now. The mountain god is patrolling the mountain at this time. If he passes in front, he will definitely offend the mountain god!" An enthusiastic villager hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Although they don't quite believe in these superstitious claims, they also know that this may be a protective mechanism for the villagers, and perhaps there is really some danger ahead.

"Then I don't know when it will be possible to pass through?" Fang Yue asked politely.

"After three days, the mountain god will return to the temple, and it will be safe to leave by then. Why don't you stay here for a while, and I will prepare some food for you." The villager said enthusiastically.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang discussed it and decided to follow the villagers' suggestions. After all, they were not familiar with this place.

So, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang stayed in the village temporarily, waiting for the mountain god to finish his patrol.

Over the past three days, they gradually discovered that there was something strange about this village.

At the beginning, the villagers were very hospitable. They not only prepared sumptuous food for them, but also took the initiative to show them around the village.

However, as time passed, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang gradually realized that something was wrong.

The atmosphere in the village became more and more oppressive, and the villagers began to avoid their eyes, and sometimes even whispered behind their backs.

Moreover, they found that the population in the village seemed to be extremely sparse, with almost no people visible in broad daylight.

What makes them even more uneasy is that whenever night falls, there will be bursts of strange sounds in the village, as if someone is singing in a low voice, or someone is moaning in pain.

These sounds are particularly clear and eerie in the silent night.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang decided to investigate these strange phenomena secretly.

"It seems like something is wrong with this village!" Fang Yue

"Indeed, these villagers seem to be hiding some secrets." Zhu Linlang frowned, and she also felt something unusual about this village.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang began to secretly observe the behavior of the villagers and try to find out the origin of these strange phenomena.

They discovered that whenever night fell, those strange sounds came from an ancient temple in the center of the village.

This temple looks very old, with ancient totems and texts carved on the stone walls.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang decided to sneak into the temple quietly at night to find out.

As night falls, the village is once again shrouded in mysterious sounds.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang cautiously approached the temple under the cover of night.

They found the door of the temple ajar and a faint light coming from inside.

The two looked at each other, and Fang Yue gently opened the door. They were instantly stunned by the sight in front of them.

Inside the temple, a group of villagers were sitting around a huge stone statue, chanting in a low voice.

The face of the stone statue is ferocious and terrifying, and each hand holds a huge weapon, as if it wants to choose people to devour.

The faces of the villagers were full of piety and fanaticism, and they seemed completely immersed in this mysterious ritual.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang also discovered that whenever the villagers sang to a climax, the stone statue's eyes would flash a strange light, as if it came to life.

Zhu Linlang couldn't help but shudder. She held Fang Yue's hand tightly, "What kind of weird ritual is this?"

Fang Yue frowned, "It seems that this village does hide some unknown secrets. There must be some mysterious connection between this temple and these villagers."

"Since the guests are here, why don't you come in and sit down!"

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the temple, breaking the strange tranquility.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang turned around suddenly, only to see a middle-aged man with a sinister face staring at them coldly.

This person was the village chief who had received them before.

"It turns out to be the village chief. It's so late, are you still here to conduct sacrifices?" Fang Yue smiled slightly.

"These are two distinguished guests. I have to pray for you." (End of Chapter)
