The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 689 Mystery - Inheritance

In the vast and mysterious world of cultivation, countless talented people have spent their entire lives searching for opportunities and inheritances in order to achieve immortality and attain enlightenment. Today, the cave under the secret room that Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stepped into was like a mysterious treasure house that had been sealed for thousands of years, quietly waiting for the destined person, exuding a thrilling atmosphere.

Yun Yao, this mysterious woman who traveled through time and space with her modern soul and made a name for herself in the path of cultivation, was shocked at the moment. The sudden and violent roar in the secret room was like the roar of an ancient beast, which made her eardrums hurt. The ground under her feet slowly cracked uncontrollably, and a deep and dark passage that seemed to lead to the Nine Netherworld Purgatory appeared before them in an extremely oppressive manner.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, and a hint of determination flashed in each other's eyes. No words were needed, and the tacit understanding between the two of them, who had been side by side for many years, was clearly revealed at this moment. They knew very well that under this passage, there might be something shocking that could subvert their cognition and rewrite the trajectory of their fate. So, resolutely, they stepped into the unknown darkness.

The passage was filled with an old and mysterious atmosphere, as if every inch of air carried the vicissitudes of time and the secrets of the past. On the walls, some strange lights flickered faintly, as if ancient runes were whispering stories of the past, or like hidden eyes, peeping at the two uninvited guests. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were fully focused, moving forward cautiously, their spiritual power running secretly, always on guard against possible dangers.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, it seemed like a century, or just a moment, they finally reached the end of the passage. Suddenly, the view in front of them opened up, and a cave that was beyond imagination came into view. In the cave, stalactites stood in rows, like majestic guards, or like wonders carved by nature. In the center of the cave, an ancient book emitting brilliant golden light, like a moon surrounded by stars, quietly suspended in the air, with a spiritual rhythm dancing in the flowing light.

Yun Yao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an indescribable throbbing surged into her heart. She seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and her footsteps involuntarily slowly approached the ancient book. When she approached to a certain distance, the ancient book seemed to sense her breath and slowly opened its pages. An ancient and majestic consciousness, as if it came from the ancient times, instantly flooded into her mind like a surging tide.

"This is the inheritance of the ancient powerful. Only those with a specific bloodline have the chance to obtain it and open this secret treasure of cultivation that has been sealed for thousands of years..." That thought echoed in her mind like a huge bell, shaking her soul.

Yun Yao instantly realized that this inheritance must be closely connected to her complicated and confusing life experience. She didn't have time to think about it, and immediately sat cross-legged, put aside all distractions, immersed herself in it, and prepared to accept this blessing from the ancients.

As the inheritance was opened, a series of dreamlike yet extremely real scenes of her past life, like a broken puzzle of memory, slowly unfolded in her mind. She saw an ancient family mansion that was so magnificent that it was difficult to describe. In the mansion, there were carved beams and painted buildings, countless treasures, and the family members were dressed in gorgeous clothes, with spiritual power surging around them, and their every move showed an extraordinary and otherworldly aura. And she was the direct descendant of this ancient mysterious family, shouldering the family's glory and inheritance.

The scene changes, and disaster strikes. It's as if the end of the world has come, the sky and the earth change color, and in the endless darkness, a mysterious evil force is like the claws of the devil, rushing in. The family mansion is instantly caught in war and killing, shouts and screams are intertwined, and the bloody air permeates the world. The ancestors fought desperately, but the evil force was too powerful, and the family was eventually wiped out. Only a few people, in desperation, relied on the family secret treasure and the spirit of sacrifice to forcibly tear open the cracks in time and space, and sent her young soul to another world to avoid this catastrophe.

Yun Yao was immersed in these scenes, tears welling up uncontrollably. The glory of her family in the past seemed like yesterday's flowers, but the disaster now was like a sharp knife piercing her heart, hatred and a sense of mission burning in her heart.

At the same time, the powerful spiritual power was like a surging river, pouring into her body from the ancient books. Her meridians seemed to be reshaped, her bones seemed to be tempered, and every inch of her flesh and blood was cheering and madly absorbing this majestic spiritual power. She was originally stuck at the bottleneck of the fusion realm, but now it seemed that she had found the key to a breakthrough. Her spiritual power became more powerful, her aura became deeper, and she even had the faint sign of breaking through to a higher realm.

On the side, Chu Mochen was like a guardian god, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes were full of vigilance. He held a sharp sword, the blade was flashing with cold light, and the spiritual power was flowing on the sword like a dragon, protecting Yun Yao tightly behind him. His eyes were like substance, scanning every corner of the cave, not missing any possible danger. Even if his clothes were soaked with sweat, his eyes were still as firm as a rock, protecting Yun Yao and this hard-won inheritance opportunity.

In the cave, time seemed to stand still for a moment, with only the flickering of Yun Yao's spiritual power and the occasional fluttering of Chu Mochen's clothes telling of the tension and solemnity. However, fate seemed to always like to play jokes. Just when Yun Yao was about to completely complete the inheritance and break through the realm, a noisy sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the cave, like dense drumbeats, breaking the tranquility.

Then, a group of people in black robes rushed into the ruins like ghosts. The leader had a cold look like a snake, like a demon crawling out of the abyss, exuding a frightening evil aura. This person was the leader of the evil forces who had been secretly paying attention to Yun Yao and trying to rob her of all her opportunities. They noticed the abnormal movement of spiritual power here, like sharks smelling blood, and rushed to snatch this ancient powerful inheritance.

The black-robed men quickly fanned out, surrounding the cave entrance like a black curtain of death, blocking Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's escape route. The leading black-robed man snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved, and a black smoke like the breath of a devil instantly spread out and swept towards Chu Mochen. In the smoke, there were faint black runes flashing, as if hiding endless curses and killing power.

Seeing this, Chu Mochen's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle, and the long sword in his hand made a clear sound like an awakened dragon. He did not retreat but advanced, facing the black smoke, and performed a set of exquisite swordsmanship. The sword shadow flickered, like a galaxy hanging upside down, shining brightly, and violently collided with the black smoke. Every collision was like thunder, sparks flew, and the ripples of spiritual power spread all around, shaking the cave slightly.

However, the black-robed people were numerous, like a pack of hungry wolves, casting evil spells continuously. Black flames, ice spikes, poisonous fog and other strange attacks rushed towards Chu Mochen. Although Chu Mochen was extremely powerful, he gradually showed signs of fatigue under this round-of-war attack, his breath became disordered, and his steps unconsciously slowly retreated.

Yun Yao is at a critical juncture of inheritance at this moment. It is as if her soul is imprisoned in a mysterious space. Although she can sense the crisis in the outside world, she cannot easily get out. She is extremely anxious, beads of sweat roll down her forehead, and her heart seems to be gnawed by millions of ants. On the one hand, it is a critical moment for family inheritance. Once it is interrupted, all previous efforts may be wasted, and it will be difficult to have such an opportunity again; on the other hand, Chu Mochen has fallen into a desperate situation in order to protect her, on the verge of life and death.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and every second that passed was like torture. The spiritual power in the cave became more and more violent, like a prehistoric beast that was about to lose control. Yun Yao struggled frantically in her heart, weighing the pros and cons. In the end, when she saw Chu Mochen had another wound on his body and his clothes were stained red with blood, she gritted her teeth and a look of determination flashed in her eyes.

“Forget it, even if I have to give up this inheritance, I can’t just watch Brother Chen fall into despair!” Yun Yao roared in her heart and forced her spiritual power to try to break through the shackles of the inheritance.

In an instant, the spiritual power around her body erupted like a volcano, and the light surged, as if a golden sun was rising slowly in the cave. The originally peaceful power of inheritance, under the impact of her resolute power, was like a tamed wild horse, although unwilling, it could only slowly retreat. Yun Yao successfully stabilized her strength in the fusion realm. Although she failed to completely complete the inheritance breakthrough, at this moment, she was like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, with magnificent momentum.

She flashed, and appeared beside Chu Mochen in an instant, as if teleporting. The spells in her hands changed rapidly, and golden rays of light shot towards the black-robed camp like materialized arrows. Every time a ray of light shot out, it was accompanied by a scream, and the black-robed people fell down one after another like harvested straw.

"Brother Chen, I'm here to help you!" Yun Yao shouted, her voice like a huge bell, echoing in the cave.

Seeing this, Chu Mochen's eyes flashed with relief and surprise. The two of them seemed to have a telepathic connection, and instantly switched to a tacit cooperation mode. Yun Yao used the system's powerful analytical ability, as if she had a pair of eyes that could see through everything, and quickly found the flaws in the black-robed man's spell. Chu Mochen, relying on his superb swordsmanship, was like a killing god on the battlefield, attacking the black-robed man's flaws.

For a moment, the situation seemed to be reversed. The black-robed men's airtight encirclement was now like a leaky fishing net, with many holes. Under the joint attack of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, they gradually fell into a disadvantage, suffered heavy casualties, and their morale was low.

However, the black-robed leader was like a madman. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he became angry and did something crazy. He looked up to the sky and roared like a beast, then quickly formed seals with his hands. A blood-red light surged out of his body and instantly enveloped him. He seemed to sacrifice his soul and cast a forbidden spell. His own strength was like a rocket taking off, instantly increasing several times.

Then, like a black lightning, he launched a crazy attack on Yun Yao and Chu Mochen with endless killing intent and violent power. Every time he attacked, it was like a mountain falling on top of them, the space seemed to be torn apart, and the spiritual power was like a storm. Under the impact of this force, the stalactites in the cave broke, shattered, and turned into powder.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked solemn, knowing that they were facing a real life-and-death crisis. The two stood back to back, their spiritual powers circulated crazily, as if they had built an indestructible defense line. But the attack of the black-robed leader was too fierce, like endless waves, one after another, impacting their defense line.

Just when they were about to collapse and their spiritual power was about to run out, the ancient token in Yun Yao's hand, which had been silent all this time, seemed to sense the danger of its owner, and suddenly shone brightly, like a burning star. A mysterious and ancient power, as if it came from the ancient times, surged out, like a sleeping giant awakening, and blocked all the attacks of the black-robed man.

This sudden change was like a ray of dawn that dispelled the darkness. The black-robed people all looked astonished, as if they had seen something incredible. Yun Yao took this opportunity to look at Chu Mochen, and there seemed to be sparks in their eyes, and their tacit understanding was sublimated again.

"Right now, attack with all your strength!" Yun Yao shouted tenderly, as if possessed by a female war goddess.

She concentrated all her spiritual power, as if she had integrated all her soul power into it, and cast the ultimate spell she had learned from her inheritance. For a moment, the cave seemed to be filled with golden light, and a beam of spiritual power that seemed to be able to create the world shot towards the leader of the black-robed man.

Chu Mochen also seemed to merge with her, and brought his swordsmanship to the extreme. The long sword in his hand seemed to turn into a meteor, and with an indomitable momentum, he followed closely and stabbed the leader of the black-robed men.

Under the powerful spiritual impact, the black-robed camp was like a sand castle swept by a strong wind. It was instantly in chaos and everyone retreated in fear. Although the black-robed leader's strength increased greatly, under this joint attack, he was like a wounded beast, screaming and staggering back.

Yun Yao was breathing heavily, her spiritual power was almost exhausted, but her eyes were still as firm as iron. At this moment, she took the opportunity to check the token in her hand, and found that the runes on the token seemed to come alive, flashing with mysterious light, as if guiding a certain direction.

"This token... could it be the key to our escape from the predicament and our continued search for our origins?" Yun Yao muttered to herself, as if a flame was burning in her heart. She knew very well that this crisis might just be the beginning, and the road ahead would be full of thorns and challenges. But as long as she joined hands with Chu Mochen, she would not be afraid even if the road ahead was difficult.

Inside the cave, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the violent spiritual energy gradually subsided. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen seemed to have experienced a baptism of life and death. They looked in the direction indicated by the token, their eyes full of expectation and determination, as if they were about to embark on a more legendary journey...
