Chapter 890: "The Fantasy World: Lin Xiao's Fearless Journey"
Lin Xiao looked around the mysterious palace warily, her heartbeat still echoing the battle just now. She took a deep breath to try to calm her nervous emotions. She knew she had to stay calm, as threats might be hidden in every unknown corner.
Suddenly, a gentle but majestic voice sounded in the palace: "Brave girl, your arrival is destined."
Lin Xiao turned around to look for the source of the sound, only to see an old man in a long robe walking out of the shadows. There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, but there was a barely perceptible worry on his face.
"Who are you?" Lin Xiao asked defensively, holding his sword tightly.
The old man smiled slightly and said calmly: "I am the guardian of this Fantasy World Valley, my name is Xuan Zhenzi. The token in your hand is closely connected to the secrets of our valley."
Lin Xiao's heart moved. She thought of Mo Yu and wondered if he had encountered a similar test. She decided to find out the situation first, so she asked, "Why do you want these tokens? What use are they to you?"
Xuan Zhenzi's expression suddenly became serious: "This token is a treasure left by our ancestors, and it contains a huge power. Our clan has guarded this valley for generations to protect this power from being invaded by evil. But now, a catastrophe is about to come, and we need your help."
Lin Xiao frowned. She didn't expect things to be so complicated. She thought for a moment, then asked, "What is the catastrophe you are talking about? How can I help you?"
Xuan Zhenzi sighed, his eyes becoming distant: "The dark forces are awakening, they intend to control all tokens, release the power of the seal, and realize their ambition to rule the world. You and Mo Yu are the key, only you can stop this disaster."
Hearing Mo Yu's name, Lin Xiao's heart tightened. She hurriedly asked, "Where is Mo Yu now? Is he safe?"
Xuan Zhenzi nodded and consoled him: "He is also in the valley now, accepting his own challenges. You all must pass the trial to uncover more secrets."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Okay, I accept this task. But please take me to see Mo Yu, we must face this together."
Xuan Zhenzi looked at her approvingly and nodded slightly: "Very good, but before that, you still need to pass a final test."
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the other end of the palace, and then a group of people in black robes rushed in. Their eyes were cold and obviously had bad intentions.
"Xuan Zhenzi, hand over the token and we can let you go!" the leading black-robed man said coldly.
Lin Xiao became nervous. It seemed that the situation was more urgent than she thought. She stood beside Xuan Zhenzi, ready to fight.
Xuan Zhenzi sent a message to Lin Xiao: "Don't be afraid, this is just part of the test. Use your wisdom and courage to defeat them."
Lin Xiao nodded, cheered himself up and prepared for the upcoming battle.
The black-robed man suddenly attacked, and Lin Xiao quickly drew her sword to fight back. She used the spells and swordsmanship she had learned before, combined with her nimble steps, to shuttle through the shadows, and each sword strike accurately repelled the enemy's attack.
In the fierce battle, Lin Xiao gradually felt her strength growing, her sword skills became smoother, and her spells became more skillful. She knew that this was the growth she had gained from her previous experience.
Finally, in a clever turn, Lin Xiao pierced through the black-robed leader's defense with his sword and hit him directly in the vitals. The leader was horrified and quickly retreated to admit defeat.
"Enough! We surrender!" the leader of the black-robed men shouted.
As the black-robed man retreated, the palace returned to peace. Xuan Zhenzi walked towards Lin Xiao with a gratified smile on his face: "You did a good job, Lin Xiao. Now, it's time to take you to see Mo Yu."
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she was full of new expectations and tension for the future. She knew that she and Mo Yu were about to face greater challenges, and she was ready. No matter what the future held, she would face it bravely.
