The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 157 Clues to the Mysterious Power

After a difficult exploration, Yun Yao, Chu Mochen and others finally found some clues about the mysterious power. This mysterious power seems to be related to an ancient relic, which may hide precious treasures and cultivation resources, but also comes with great danger.

Yun Yao, Chu Mochen and several other disciples stood in front of a deep valley. A layer of light mist filled the valley, making the vision a little blurry. The surrounding trees were tall and ancient, with lush branches and leaves, as if guarding this mysterious place.

"Based on the previous detection fluctuations, this should be the place." said an older disciple. His name is Brother Zhao, and he has more experience in this mission.

Yun Yao stared at the valley, feeling an inexplicable excitement and nervousness in her heart. She could feel that this place was hiding many unknown secrets, waiting for them to uncover.

Chu Mochen had a stern look on his face, and his eyes were scanning the surroundings sharply, as if he was alert to possible dangers. He exuded a powerful aura that made people dare not underestimate him.

"Everyone, be careful. The aura here is very unusual." Chu Mochen said in a low voice.

Everyone nodded and walked cautiously towards the valley. As they went deeper, the fog became thicker and thicker, and the air was filled with a damp smell and a faint mysterious energy fluctuation.

Yun Yao walked in the middle of the team, she remained alert at all times, holding her sword tightly in her hand. Her senses became more acute in this mysterious environment, and she was able to detect subtle changes around her.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front and the ground began to tremble slightly.

"Everyone be careful!" Chu Mochen shouted and instantly stood in front of everyone.

The ground in front of them began to crack, and huge cracks appeared in front of them, as if they were going to swallow them up. Yun Yao steadied herself, with a determined look in her eyes.

"This should be the trigger mechanism of some kind of formation." She analyzed calmly.

Chu Mochen nodded slightly, "Everyone, spread out and look for the flaws in the formation."

Everyone quickly dispersed and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. Yun Yao closed her eyes and tried to feel the energy flow in the air. She found that the energy seemed to be running according to a certain law, and the cracks on the ground were the external manifestation of this law.

"I seem to have found some patterns." Yun Yao opened his eyes and pointed to an area in front of him and said, "The energy fluctuations there are relatively weak. It may be the weak point of the formation."

Chu Mochen immediately looked in the direction Yun Yao pointed, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Okay, let's go over and take a look together."

The two approached the area cautiously, and the other disciples followed closely behind. When they arrived there, they found some strange runes on the ground flashing a faint light.

"These runes should be the key to the formation." Yun Yao squatted down and studied the runes carefully.

Chu Mochen looked around vigilantly to prevent any other dangers from arising.

Yun Yao tried to touch these runes with her spiritual power, wanting to understand their functions and operating principles. The moment her spiritual power touched the runes, a powerful force rebounded back, almost knocking her away.

"Be careful!" Chu Mochen grabbed Yun Yao in time and brought her behind him.

"This formation is very powerful. We cannot break it by force." Yun Yao said with a frown.

"What should we do then?" Senior Brother Zhao asked anxiously.

Yun Yao pondered for a moment, "We need to find a way to match the energy of this formation to unlock it. I'll try to see if I can use my spiritual power to simulate this energy fluctuation."

After that, Yun Yao closed her eyes again and concentrated on feeling the energy frequency in the formation. She slowly adjusted her spiritual power output to make it as close to the energy characteristics of the formation as possible.

After many attempts, Yun Yao finally succeeded in making her spiritual power resonate with the energy of the formation. The flickering runes began to dim gradually, and the cracks in the ground slowly closed.

"Success!" everyone cheered.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a stronger pressure came from the depths of the valley. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's faces changed, they knew that the real challenge had just begun.

They continued to move forward and passed through a dense forest. There was a strange atmosphere in the forest, and the leaves rustled, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them.

"Everyone stay alert, there may be danger here." Chu Mochen said in a low voice.

Yun Yao nodded. Her palms were already covered with sweat, but she still held the sword tightly, not daring to relax at all.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out from the woods and rushed towards a disciple. Before the disciple could react, he was hit by the shadow and fell to the ground.

"What is that?" everyone shouted in horror.

Chu Mochen flashed and instantly came to the side of the disciple. He helped the disciple up and found that the disciple was just unconscious and was not in danger of life.

"It's an invisible monster, everyone be careful!" Chu Mochen said loudly.

Yun Yao activated her spiritual sense and tried to detect the location of the monster. She felt a weak fluctuation in the air and swung her sword in the direction of the fluctuation.

A sword energy cut through the air and hit the invisible monster. The monster let out a painful roar and revealed its body. It looked like a giant bat, all black, with red eyes flashing, and looked very ferocious.

"Let's go together!" Chu Mochen shouted.

Everyone launched attacks, various spells and weapons flew towards the monster. The monster nimbly dodged the attacks and continuously launched counterattacks. Its speed was extremely fast, making it difficult to predict.

Yun Yao saw the right moment and used her special move "Phantom Sword Technique". Her figure instantly turned into a phantom, moving quickly around the monster, while the sword in her hand kept stabbing out. The monster was caught off guard by Yun Yao's attack and had multiple wounds on its body.

Chu Mochen was not to be outdone, the spear in his hand danced like a flash of lightning, and each attack contained a powerful force. Under the joint attack of the two of them, the monster gradually fell into a disadvantage.

After a fierce battle, the monster was finally defeated by them and turned into a black mist and disappeared into the air.

"Is everyone okay?" Chu Mochen asked.

Everyone said they were fine, just a little tired.

"Let's keep moving forward. The entrance to the ruins should be ahead." Yun Yao said.

They passed through the woods and came to the foot of a mountain. There was a huge hole on the mountain wall, and the hole was engraved with ancient runes around it, emitting a mysterious light.

"This is the entrance to the ruins." Senior Brother Zhao said excitedly.

However, when they approached the cave entrance, they felt a powerful pressure that made it hard to breathe.

"This pressure is so strong, how are we going to get in?" a disciple said worriedly.

Yun Yao looked at the runes at the entrance of the cave and fell into deep thought. She felt that these runes seemed to contain a powerful force that prevented outsiders from entering.

"I think we need to find a way to break the seal of these runes." Yun Yao said.

Chu Mochen nodded, "Let's study these runes together to see if there is any pattern."

Everyone began to carefully observe the runes at the entrance of the cave. They found that these runes formed a complex pattern, which seemed to be telling an ancient story.

Yun Yao closed her eyes and used her heart to feel the message conveyed by the rune. She seemed to see an ancient picture, a group of powerful cultivators were fighting fiercely in this relic, and finally they sealed the relic with powerful force.

"I think I understand something." Yun Yao opened his eyes and said, "These runes are a kind of sealing formation. We need to find the core of the formation to unlock it."

"Where is the core of the formation?" asked Senior Brother Zhao.

Yun Yao pointed to a stone above the cave entrance and said, "I feel like that's where the core of the formation is."

Chu Mochen looked up and the stone didn't seem to have anything special, but he believed in Yun Yao's intuition.

"I'll give it a try." Chu Mochen said.

He flew up and flew towards the stone above the cave entrance. When he got close to the stone, he felt a strong resistance, but he did not give up and continued to increase his strength.

Finally, Chu Mochen successfully approached the stone, and he found that the stone was engraved with more complex runes. He tried to use his spiritual power to crack these runes, but the power of the runes was too strong, and his spiritual power was instantly bounced back.

Chu Mochen fell from the air, his face a little pale.

"How is it?" Yun Yao asked with concern.

"No, the power of these runes is too strong. I can't break them." Chu Mochen said.

Yun Yao frowned, "Let's think of a way together. There must be a way to unlock this seal."

Everyone began to brainstorm and discuss various possible methods. Just when they were at a loss, Yun Yao suddenly remembered a method of breaking the formation recorded in an ancient book that she had seen in a secular country.

"I have an idea, maybe you can try it." Yun Yao said.

"What method?" everyone asked.

Yun Yao explained her ideas in detail. She believed that the sealing formation could be broken by utilizing the principle of the five elements' mutual generation and mutual restraint.

After hearing this, everyone thought this method was worth a try. They followed Yun Yao's arrangement, stood in different positions, and used their spiritual power to mobilize the five elements around them.

Yun Yao stood in the center of the formation, forming seals with her hands and chanting something, guiding everyone's spiritual power to merge with each other. As the spiritual power continued to gather, the runes at the entrance of the cave began to emit a dazzling light, and the seal formation also began to loosen a little.

"Everyone, work harder!" Yun Yao shouted.

Everyone gritted their teeth and exerted their full spiritual power. Finally, after a flash of strong light, the seal formation was successfully broken, and the pressure at the cave entrance disappeared.

"We succeeded!" everyone cheered.

Chu Mochen looked at Yun Yao with admiration in his eyes. "You are amazing. This time it's all thanks to you."

Yun Yao smiled slightly, "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Let's go in and see what's inside."

The crowd walked into the ruins carefully. There was an old atmosphere in the air. The walls were inlaid with glowing gems, illuminating the entire passage. On both sides of the passage were some ancient statues, which were lifelike and seemed to be watching their every move.

They walked forward along the passage, their hearts full of curiosity and expectation. They didn't know what dangers and opportunities they would encounter in this relic, but they were all ready to meet all challenges.
