The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 215 Return to the Sect

After a hard fight, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen finally got rid of the attack of the men in black. At this time, they were ragged, exhausted and scarred. Yun Yao's hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks, and a few strands were soaked with sweat. Her eyes were deeply tired, but still as firm as before. There was a trace of blood on the corner of Chu Mochen's mouth, which was caused by accidental injuries in the fierce battle. His body shook slightly, but he still stood straight. The weapon in his hand trembled slightly due to overuse, and the light of his spiritual power became dim.

They supported each other and moved forward step by step towards the sect. The road under their feet was rugged and uneven, and every step seemed to exhaust all their strength, but they all had the same belief in their hearts: to return to the sect.

The scenery along the way has lost its former color in their eyes. They have no time to care about the surrounding mountains, rivers, and plants, and only focus on the road under their feet. Occasionally, a breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness, but it also makes their wounds ache. Yun Yao bites her lower lip tightly, enduring the pain. She knows that she can't stop at this moment. Once she stops, she may not have the strength to stand up again. Chu Mochen looks at Yun Yao with concern from time to time. Although he doesn't say anything, his eyes are full of worry and heartache.

Finally, the outline of the sect gradually appeared in their sight. The familiar buildings and towering towers made them feel warm. The disciples of the sect saw their returning figures from afar and gathered around them.

"Senior Sister Yun Yao, Senior Brother Chu Mochen, what's wrong with you?" a young disciple asked anxiously, his eyes full of concern.

Yun Yao raised her head slightly, tried to force a smile, and said: "We were attacked while carrying out the mission, but fortunately, we successfully repelled the enemy." Her voice was a little hoarse, but it revealed a sense of strength.

When everyone heard this, they all showed expressions of shock and anger.

“Who is so bold as to attack our sect’s disciples?” A hot-tempered disciple clenched his fists in anger.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!" another disciple echoed.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were supported by everyone and slowly walked into the sect. The elders of the sect also got the news and hurried over. The head of the sect stood in the front, his eyes were full of majesty and concern, and he frowned slightly when he saw the embarrassed appearance of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.

"Take them to the healing room first and let the medical practitioners treat them properly." The head sect leader gave the order.

Surrounded by the crowd, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen came to the healing room. The healing room was filled with a faint scent of medicine, and various healing instruments were neatly placed. The medical practitioners quickly stepped forward and began to diagnose and treat their wounds.

Yun Yao lay on the healing bed, letting the doctors cast spells to heal her. Her thoughts drifted back to the details of this mission. From the moment she stepped into the mysterious valley, it was full of dangers and challenges. First, there was a strange trap. The sharp stone pillars that suddenly emerged from the ground and the spiritual ropes that were entangled like a spirit snake almost killed them. Then came the appearance of a mysterious enemy. The powerful and evil aura still scares her to this day. Fortunately, they cooperated with each other and stimulated the hidden power in their bodies in the crisis of life and death. They temporarily repelled the enemy and successfully found the spirit pearl. Unexpectedly, on the way back, they were attacked by the group of men in black again. If they had not cooperated tacitly, discovered the commander of the men in black and successfully turned the tide of the battle, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Miss Yun Yao, your injuries are quite serious and you need to recuperate for a period of time." The doctor's voice brought Yun Yao back to reality from her thoughts.

She nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Doctor. I understand."

At this time, Chu Mochen was also receiving treatment in the healing room next door. He was also recalling the experience of this mission, and his feelings for Yun Yao became deeper and deeper. In the face of danger, Yun Yao's calmness and courage made him admire her. Especially when the mysterious man launched a powerful attack and Yun Yao couldn't dodge in time, he rushed up without hesitation to block the fatal blow for her. At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind, that is, to protect Yun Yao. And Yun Yao also showed extraordinary wisdom and strength in the subsequent battles. They supported each other and grew together.

After a period of treatment, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's injuries gradually improved. They were summoned by the sect leader to the sect's meeting hall.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was solemn and serious. The head of the sect sat in the main seat, and the elders sat on both sides. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen walked into the hall, saluted the head of the sect and the elders, and stood in the middle of the hall.

"Although you have gone through many hardships in carrying out this mission, you have successfully brought back the spirit pearl, which is an invaluable contribution." The voice of the head of the sect echoed in the hall, "However, we must not give up on the attack on the way back. We must find out the truth and find out who is behind it."

An elder said, "Master, in my opinion, this attack may be related to other sects or forces. They may be coveting our sect to get the spirit pearl, so they sent people to stop it."

"It is also possible that it was done by some evil-minded people within the sect." Another elder expressed a different opinion.

Everyone started discussing and expressing their opinions. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen listened quietly, thinking about various possibilities in their hearts.

"Yun Yao, Chu Mochen, did you find any clues during the battle?" The leader looked at them and asked.

Yun Yao took a step forward and said, "Master, when we were fighting the men in black, I found that they worked very well together, as if they had undergone special training. Moreover, I found their commander, a man holding a flag hiding behind the crowd. But after we repelled them, we did not find any more clues about their identities."

Chu Mochen continued, "Disciple also feels that this matter is not simple. These men in black are quite powerful and are definitely not something that ordinary independent cultivators or small forces can send out."

The head of the sect nodded slightly and said, "I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter. You should take a good rest and recover your strength. You have performed well in this mission, and the sect will not treat you unfairly."

Afterwards, the head of the sect announced their rewards. In addition to the abundant cultivation resources, they were also given some precious elixirs and magic weapons to help them improve their strength.

After thanking the headmaster and the elders, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen returned to their residence. They knew that this experience was just the beginning, and they still had a long way to go in this world of cultivation full of dangers and challenges.

After returning to her residence, Yun Yao sat in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, and secretly vowed in her heart that she must work hard to improve her strength and protect herself and the people around her. She took out the five-colored spiritual bead she got in the valley and looked at it carefully. The spiritual bead emitted a soft light in her hand, and she could feel the powerful spiritual power contained in it. She decided to study the spiritual bead carefully after her injuries were fully recovered, and perhaps she could get more opportunities for cultivation from it.

At the same time, Chu Mochen was also practicing in his room. He circulated his spiritual power to repair the damaged meridians in his body. This battle made him realize his shortcomings. He had to practice harder to be able to cope with future challenges.

In the following days, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen worked hard to cultivate while recuperating from their injuries. They often exchanged their cultivation experiences, and their feelings for each other continued to grow in the process.

In addition to practicing, Yun Yao would go to the sect's library to look up information, trying to find records about the spirit beads and those mysterious runes. She flipped through a large number of ancient books in the library, and finally found some records about similar spirit beads in an ancient book. According to the classics, this kind of spirit bead may have been refined by a great man in ancient times, which contains powerful spiritual power and mysterious law power. If it can be fully refined, the strength will surely make a qualitative leap. But the process of refining the spirit bead is extremely difficult, requiring strong spiritual power and firm will. If you are not careful, you may be backfired by the power of the spirit bead.

Yun Yao told Chu Mochen the news. After discussion, the two decided to try to refine the spirit beads when they were strong enough.

The sect was also investigating the attack by the men in black. The disciples sent out to gather information and clues. Finally, they found some clues. It was reported that before the men in black attacked Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, some suspicious people were seen in nearby towns having contact with members of a mysterious organization. This mysterious organization has always been low-key in the cultivation world, but it has considerable power.

After hearing the news, the head of the sect decided to send people to investigate this mysterious organization. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen volunteered to find out the mastermind and seek justice for themselves.

The head of the sect looked at their determined eyes, pondered for a moment, and agreed to their request, but at the same time he also reminded them to be careful and not to act rashly.

So, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen set out on their journey again. Based on the clues, they headed in the direction of the mysterious organization. Along the way, they were cautious and always alert to possible dangers.

When they approached the base of the mysterious organization, they found that it was surrounded by various defensive formations and traps. Yun Yao used the power of the system to carefully crack the formation, while Chu Mochen protected her.

After some efforts, they finally succeeded in breaking through the defense and entered the base of the mysterious organization. There was a strange atmosphere in the base, and they walked slowly along the passage, and suddenly heard a voice coming from the front.

"Although this mission failed, we cannot let our guard down. That sect will definitely not let this go."

"Humph, if they dare to come, we will make sure they never return!"

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other and quietly approached the source of the sound. They hid in the dark and saw several members of the mysterious organization discussing something.

"Why did you attack us?" Yun Yao couldn't help but walk out and question them.

The members of the mysterious organization were all surprised when they saw Yun Yao and Chu Mochen suddenly appear. But they quickly reacted and drew their weapons, ready to fight.

"Since you've come to our door, don't blame us for being rude!" said a member of a mysterious organization viciously.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were not afraid, they quickly got into fighting posture and prepared for the upcoming battle. This time, they must uncover the truth and seek justice for their sects, while also continuing on this road of cultivation full of dangers and challenges, and writing their own legendary stories.
