Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 79 Sense of Contrast

Wen Xingyu pouted and tugged at my arm, saying coquettishly, "Sister Yuechu, please let me go. I promise I'll be good and won't cause any trouble."

I sighed helplessly, and was about to speak when Chongyang, who had just been talking about Wen Xingyu, spoke up.

"Sister Yuechu, let her go. I'll be there with her, nothing will happen." Chongyang looked at me with a determined gaze.

Everyone was taken aback, not expecting Chongyang to say that.

I know that although Chongyang seems carefree, he is actually very sensitive. Besides, with the whistle and jade pendant, Wen Xingyu will indeed be safer.

After a moment of contemplation, I said, "In that case, you can come along, but you must follow orders."

Wen Xingyu cheered and skipped off to prepare her things.

On the way to our destination, we finally ushered in the long-awaited moment - successfully reuniting with Xu Yan's teammates!

They were all in high spirits, well-equipped, and full of vigor and vitality.

I've met them all before, and I nodded to them.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone quickly became acquainted with each other.

With everyone present, our group embarked on a new journey in a grand procession.

The sunlight shone on everyone, as if draping us in a golden glow, while the unknown road ahead awaited our exploration.

On the way, Wen Xingyu chattered away like a happy little bird, adding a relaxed atmosphere to the journey.

But I had a vague sense of unease, a feeling that this trip would involve some unimaginable things. However, looking at the enthusiastic group of people around me, I could only suppress my worries for the time being.

As I got closer to my destination, I frowned, a vague sense of unease creeping into my heart.

"Boss lady, what's wrong?" Xu Yan noticed my unusual behavior.

"Something's not right with this wind," I said in a low voice.

Xu Yan sniffed it but didn't notice anything, and just looked at me with a puzzled expression.

We followed the path where the black-robed man might appear, and the surroundings became increasingly quiet, so quiet it was frightening.

Suddenly, a low chanting sound came from ahead, echoing all around as if it came from hell.

Xu Yan tensed up, her hand unconsciously gripping the sword at her waist.

I closed my eyes and focused on sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy around me.

When I opened my eyes again, I found a barrier shimmering with a ghostly light in front of me.

"It seems there's something fishy going on here." I said, reaching out to touch the barrier. Instantly, a powerful force repelled me.

Seeing this, Xu Yan quickly came over to help me, while the others looked around warily.

Just then, several figures in black robes appeared inside the barrier. They stood quietly, as if waiting for our arrival.

I stood up, my eyes fixed warily on the men in black robes.

Wen Xingyu stood behind me, looking at the other person with an ambiguous expression.

Chongyang clenched his fist, stepped forward, and stood next to me, as if he wanted to protect everyone.

"Who are you? Why have you set up this barrier? If you have the guts, come out. What kind of skill is it to hide like this?" I shouted.

The leader of the black-robed men let out a cold laugh, "You've trespassed into a place you shouldn't have; today is your death day." As he spoke, they slowly raised their hands, and black mist surged from their palms.

I took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual energy within my body, and formed a protective membrane that enveloped everyone.

Xu Yan drew his sword, a faint blue light emanating from its blade. "Let's give it a try," he said, charging towards the group of men in black robes.

Not to be outdone, Kang Zixiang muttered incantations, and the flute in his hand emitted a sharp sound, sending waves of sound towards the man in black robes.

I took the opportunity to carefully observe the surrounding environment, looking for weaknesses in the barrier.

Suddenly, I saw a faint glimmer of light flickering in one corner of the barrier.

I pulled Wen Xingyu closer to that side, while giving Xu Yan and Kang Zixiang a wink.

Just as they were drawing the attention of the man in black robes, I suddenly exerted my strength and delivered a full-force blow to that weak spot, shattering the barrier in an instant.

The moment the barrier broke, the man in black robes was thrown into disarray.

Xu Yan's teammates Wu Yuxuan and Chen Yumo seized the opportunity, their swordsmanship becoming increasingly fierce. Each thrust was accompanied by blue light and shadow, and they successively felled several black-robed men.

Kang Zixiang's sonic attacks never stopped, and the men in black robes covered their ears in pain after being hit by the sonic waves.

After passing through the broken barrier, Wen Xingyu and I discovered a hidden world inside – an ancient palace.

Before I could take a closer look, a roar came from behind me.

It turned out that the leader of the black-robed men had broken through the obstruction of Xu Yan's teammates and caught up with them.

I shielded Wen Xingyu behind me, ready to face the battle.

The leader waved his hands, and the black mist transformed into several black pythons that pounced on us.

Just as I was about to make a move to defend myself, Wen Xingyu suddenly stepped out from behind me, formed a hand seal, and chanted a strange incantation.

In that instant, everyone saw a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from her fair and delicate palm!

The golden light streaked away like lightning, its speed astonishing.

In the blink of an eye, it struck the massive, menacing black python with deadly accuracy.

For a moment, it was as if time had stood still.

Then, a shocking scene unfolded—the moment the golden light touched the black python, it suddenly unleashed an incredibly powerful force, sweeping over like a surging torrent.

In just a moment, this force completely engulfed the black python, making it vanish without a trace.

Witnessing this scene, even the usually composed black-robed leader was greatly alarmed.

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Who...who are you? How can you possess such terrifying strength!"

Wen Xingyu's eyes were icy cold. "You have committed countless evils. Today is your end." After saying that, she fought alongside me and quickly defeated the black-robed leader. The other black-robed men fled in panic.

Xu Yan seized the opportunity to capture several black-robed men who were unable to escape.

I looked at Wen Xingyu, my heart filled with doubt. Just how many secrets did she still have?

Wen Xingyu turned to look at me, as if she could see through my thoughts, and smiled slightly, "Actually, I am a descendant of the guardians of this ancient palace. My family has protected the treasures here for generations to prevent them from being used by evil people."

My eyes widened in disbelief; I never imagined there was such a backstory.

At this moment, Xu Yan and Chongyang also arrived. Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, we breathed a sigh of relief.

We entered the ancient palace together, where strange runes and artifacts exuding a mysterious aura were everywhere.

Wen Xingyu walked straight to a jade box, opened it, and took out a crystal-clear bead.

She said the bead was called the Purification Bead and could eliminate evil forces in the world.
