The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

Chapter 423

After listening to this, Ren Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed slightly as he examined Taoist Master Baimei. After a moment, he slowly nodded: "Okay, Uncle Baimei, if you can help me rescue my mother, I will forgive the past grudges. But if you tell any lies, don't blame me for being ruthless." Although his tone was light, it revealed his unquestionable determination.

The black-robed man nodded slightly and waved his hand, and the "Nine Heavens Star Formation" that bound Taoist Master Baimei instantly dissipated. Taoist Master Baimei breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Ren Xiaoyao didn't completely trust him at the moment, but at least gave him a chance.

"Young Master Ren, Fairy Qiu Shui is now imprisoned in the 'Blue Sky Abyss', which is an underground prison secretly built by Ren Haoyu. It is heavily guarded with numerous traps. If you want to save her, you must first break the 'Five Elements and Eight Diagrams Formation' on the outside, and then dive into the 'Xuanming Cold Prison' at the bottom of the abyss." Taoist Master Baimei described the rescue plan in detail.

After Ren Xiaoyao heard this, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "There is no time to lose, act immediately."

Taoist Master Baimei nodded, and the two of them instantly exited the sea of ​​consciousness and returned to the real world. They looked at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that a fierce battle about life and death, family affection and revenge was about to take place in the "Blue Sky Abyss". Ren Xiaoyao was burdened with family blood feuds, and Taoist Master Baimei was burdened with the mission of washing away his sins. The two joined forces to take back everything that belonged to the Ren family from Ren Haoyu.

The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight sprinkled on the two people. They set out on the road to the "Blue Abyss", leaving behind a series of deep footprints, which were the imprints of their determination and faith to move forward. And ahead, what awaits them will be unknown dangers and challenges, but they are fearless, because the persistent belief and hot blood in their hearts are enough to illuminate the darkness and break through the waves. The life-and-death contest of "Nether Pearl" quietly kicked off in Qingxu Temple... Taoist Master Baimei was relieved, his figure turned into smoke again, and he quickly withdrew from Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness and returned to the real world. His face changed slightly, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. Obviously, he was still frightened by the experience just now. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and turned his eyes to Ren Xiaoyao, only to see that the young man had a firm face and a determination in his eyes that could not be ignored.

"Young Master Ren, the girl you mentioned..." Taoist Master Baimei hesitated, obviously being extremely cautious about matters involving Ren Xiaoyao's mother. However, Ren Xiaoyao did not give him a chance to hesitate, staring directly at Baimei, and speaking firmly: "Uncle Master, I know you have extensive connections in the martial arts world and are well-informed. Please help me find out about my mother. No matter where she is or what happened to her, I will find her."

Taoist Master Baimei stared at the young man in front of him. The fire burning in his eyes made him unable to refuse. He nodded slightly and said seriously: "Don't worry, Young Master Ren, this matter is of great importance. I will do my best. However, the matter of your mother is quite complicated and it may not be found out overnight. If you have any clues, you might as well tell me all of them. Maybe it can help me find the direction faster."

Ren Xiaoyao looked a little sad when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure and told the story: "My mother's name is Liu Qingwan. She suddenly disappeared ten years ago. At that time, it was rumored that she was taken away by a mysterious master. That person was very skilled in martial arts and acted strangely. No one knew his true identity. Although my father searched for him in many places, he still couldn't find any news. Recently, I found a record about the 'Nine Nether Secret Realm' in a broken ancient book, which seems to be related to my mother's disappearance. Uncle, have you heard of this place?"

Taoist Master Baimei narrowed his eyes after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Nine Nether Secret Realm... This is a forbidden place in the legend of the martial arts world. It is said that there are many rare treasures hidden in it, and there are also long-lost peerless martial arts. However, it is hidden deep underground, the entrance is secret and difficult to find, and there are many internal traps. It is extremely dangerous, and few people have ever been able to escape unscathed. If your mother is really related to this place, I am afraid the situation will be even more difficult."

Ren Xiaoyao heard about the various dangers of the Nine Nether Secret Realm, but instead of flinching, his eyes became more determined: "No matter how great the risk is, I must find out. Uncle, please help me find the entrance to the Nine Nether Secret Realm. I want to go and rescue my mother myself."

Taoist Master Baimei saw that Ren Xiaoyao was determined and knew that it would be futile to persuade him, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will use my connections to find clues about the Nine Nether Secret Realm. However, Master Ren, you must understand that this trip is extremely dangerous. If you insist on going, you must be fully prepared. Once I find the clues, we will discuss the specific action plan."

At the same time, on the other side of the Jianghu, in an ancient temple hidden deep in the dense forest, a woman in a black cloak was flipping through a yellowed ancient book under the candlelight. Her face was hidden by the drooping brim of her hat, revealing only a pair of bright but slightly sad eyes. She gently closed the book, stroking the cover with her fingertips, and whispered: "Nine Nether Secret Realm... Ren Xiaoyao, you finally found it." After speaking, she looked out the window, and the moonlight sprinkled on her side face, reflecting a touch of melancholy.

A few days later, Taoist Master Baimei brought back clues about the Nine Nether Secret Realm, which was an ancient map and a secret text detailing the changing rules of the entrance to the secret realm. At the same time, Ren Xiaoyao has also cultivated to a new realm, with unique skills, ready to go. An adventure about family affection, grievances and secret treasures is about to begin in the undercurrent of the rivers and lakes... Taoist Master Baimei flashed and turned into a stream of light, disappearing in Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness in an instant. He felt mixed emotions in his heart, secretly thinking about how to complete the task entrusted by Ren Xiaoyao, and how to face the "girl" mentioned. Baimei knew that this matter was related to the mystery of Ren Xiaoyao's life experience, and also involved a long-forgotten grievance in the rivers and lakes. The role he played at this moment was not only Ren Xiaoyao's uncle, but also the key to unraveling this entanglement.

Ren Xiaoyao withdrew his thoughts, his eyes became cold and resolute. He knew that if he wanted to save the mysterious "girl", he had to face Ren Haoyu, the man who wanted to find his lost things. Ren Xiaoyao knew that what Ren Haoyu wanted was very likely to be inextricably linked to the "girl", or even to her. Therefore, Ren Xiaoyao decided to take the initiative and go to where Ren Haoyu was to find out.

At the same time, at the other end of the Jianghu, Ren Haoyu stood on the top of a mountain, looking at the rolling sea of ​​clouds. In his hand, he tightly grasped a jade pendant with ancient patterns engraved on it, which was glowing with a faint aura. This item was the clue he had been looking for for many years, and it was closely related to the identity of Ren Xiaoyao's mother. Ren Haoyu knew that Ren Xiaoyao would definitely come, so he had already laid out many formations, waiting for his opponent to step into the trap.

A few days later, Ren Xiaoyao walked alone in the world and came to a deep valley. At the entrance of the valley, two thousand-year-old pines stood side by side, their branches and leaves like umbrellas, blocking the sky, as if telling the vicissitudes of time hidden here. Ren Xiaoyao stepped into the valley, only to see the valley filled with mist, lush vegetation, and occasional mountain birds flapping their wings, breaking the silence. He keenly sensed the murderous intent in the air, and knew in his heart that he had stepped into Ren Haoyu's defense range.

Suddenly, a sound of piano music sounded, like a quiet orchid in a valley, elegant and refined. In the piano music, there was a hidden killing intent, just like a duel between masters, the moves were not made, but the sword intent was first. Ren Xiaoyao could hear that this was Ren Haoyu using the sound wave power to test the depth of his cultivation. He did not rush to respond, but closed his eyes and concentrated, letting the piano music surround him, but his heart was as calm as still water.

After a moment, the sound of the piano suddenly became sharp, like thousands of arrows, piercing the major acupoints on Ren Xiaoyao's body. He took a deep breath, and the true energy in his body surged like a river, instantly forming an invisible shield, which completely dissipated the impact of the piano sound. Then, Ren Xiaoyao slightly curled his lips, flicked his fingertips, and a clear flute sound broke through the air, interweaving with the piano sound. The martial arts artistic conception contained in the flute sound was tit-for-tat with Ren Haoyu's piano sound, but it cleverly turned enemies into friends. The two sound waves blended and collided in the air, turning into a picture of mountains and flowing water, ethereal and spectacular.

During the harp and flute performance, Ren Xiaoyao flashed and instantly appeared in front of Ren Haoyu. The two looked at each other, Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were firm, while Ren Haoyu was slightly surprised. He had never expected that Ren Xiaoyao could not only break his sonic attack, but also resonate with it with the sound of the flute, showing his extraordinary martial arts attainments.

Ren Xiaoyao put away his flute and said in a loud voice: "Ren Haoyu, the grudge between you and me should be settled here today. I also want what you want. But before that, I want to know what is the relationship between you and that 'girl'?"

Ren Haoyu's face changed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he slowly stood up and pointed to the depths of the valley: "If you want to know the truth, follow me."

The two walked one after the other, stepping into the fog and going deep into the valley. In front of them, an ancient stone temple was hidden in the fog. The stone temple was surrounded by the Qimen Dunjia array, exuding a strange and unpredictable atmosphere. Ren Xiaoyao knew that this trip was extremely dangerous, but in order to uncover his mother's secret, he was not afraid to move forward, just waiting to break the array and enter the temple, to uncover the dusty secret of the rivers and lakes... Taoist Master Baimei seemed to have been pardoned. His figure flashed, and he turned into a stream of light and retreated from Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness. He returned to reality in an instant and reappeared in front of Ren Xiaoyao. His face was pale, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. It was obvious that he was still frightened by what happened in the sea of ​​consciousness just now. He forced himself to be calm and looked at Ren Xiaoyao deeply. There were complex emotions intertwined in his eyes, with both admiration and doubt, and a bit of fear that was difficult to conceal.

Ren Xiaoyao had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were as deep as the abyss, as if he could see into people's hearts. He put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "Uncle Baimei, you and I both know that the purpose of Brother Haoyu's trip is nothing more than to find what he lost. However, this is not an easy task, and it involves not only the secrets of the martial arts world, but also the grudges of the family and the country. Since you have entered my sea of ​​consciousness, you should know that the woman is not someone else, but Brother Haoyu's biological mother, and also a close relative of my Ren family."

When Taoist Master Baimei heard this, his heart was in turmoil. He thought he was just facing a young and energetic knight, but he never thought that there were such deep secrets and family disputes hidden behind him. He bowed slightly and said seriously: "Young Master Ren, although I don't know the inside story, since I have accepted your trust, I will do my best to help you find your mother. However, this matter involves grudges in the martial arts world, which may not be easy to resolve. You need to act with caution."

Ren Xiaoyao nodded slightly, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "Uncle Master is right, I know the situation well. You and I must work together to find out the truth and protect Brother Haoyu from falling into danger. As for how to deal with it, we need to think carefully." He turned to the window. The moonlight filled the courtyard and the ginkgo leaves swayed gently in the wind, like whispers of the past.

"Uncle Master, do you still remember the disappearance of the 'Heavenly Secret Sword' 20 years ago?" Ren Xiaoyao suddenly changed the subject and asked about a seemingly unrelated topic. Taoist Master Baimei was stunned when he heard this, but soon his expression became serious. He thought for a moment and replied, "The 'Heavenly Secret Sword' is a rare treasure in the martial arts world. It suddenly disappeared 20 years ago and it is still an unsolved case. It is said that there are mysterious patterns hidden on the sword body, which can guide the holder to solve many mysteries in the world and even predict the future. Why did you mention this, young master?"

Ren Xiaoyao turned to look at Taoist Master Baimei, his eyes flashing with wisdom: "I suspect that what Brother Haoyu is looking for is inextricably linked to the disappearance of the 'Heavenly Secret Sword'. If we can find this sword, perhaps we can uncover the truth of that year and find the whereabouts of Brother Haoyu's mother. Uncle, you have been in the martial arts world for many years and have extensive connections. Can you help me find clues about the 'Heavenly Secret Sword'?"

Taoist Master Baimei took a deep breath and realized that Ren Xiaoyao was actually using someone else's strength to fight him. He was indirectly solving Ren Haoyu's problem by searching for the 'Heavenly Secret Sword'. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "As Young Master Ren has entrusted me, I will do my best. However, the mystery of the 'Heavenly Secret Sword' involves a lot of people, and I am afraid that various forces are coveting it. We should keep a low profile and proceed step by step."

Ren Xiaoyao raised a faint smile and nodded approvingly: "Uncle Master, your thoughts are well thought out, which is exactly what I want. You go ahead and secretly investigate the clues of the 'Heavenly Sword'. I will stay in the mansion to comfort Brother Haoyu and arrange for people to pay close attention to the movements of the martial arts world. When the time is right, we will meet again to discuss countermeasures."

Taoist Master Baimei bowed and accepted the order, then his figure turned into smoke again and disappeared silently into the night. Ren Xiaoyao watched him leave, secretly thinking in his heart that this turmoil in the martial arts world has just begun... Taoist Master Baimei felt relieved, and his figure instantly disappeared in Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness and returned to reality. He stood in front of Ren Haoyu, his face complicated, but still solemn. Seeing this, Ren Haoyu's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but he didn't ask more questions, he knew that Taoist Master Baimei had his own reasons.
