The house seemed ordinary, with blue bricks and gray tiles, and ancient trees reaching the sky, but Xu Yuehuai could feel a cold and dangerous aura from behind the tightly closed gate, as if countless eyes were watching them in the dark.
Xu Yuehuai made a gesture, and Tie Xiong and Yan Qing immediately understood. The three of them leaped over the wall as nimbly as cats and landed silently in the courtyard.
The courtyard was dimly lit, with only a few flickering lanterns casting a faint glow. An indescribable eeriness permeated the air, as if even the wind had frozen.
It was so quiet that only their breathing could be heard. Xu Yuehuai was extremely vigilant, knowing that everything that was about to happen would be full of unknowns and dangers.
Standing in the courtyard, Xu Yuehuai's eyes were firm and cold.
She turned to Tie Xiong and Yan Qing beside her and said, "We must be careful. This organization operates in secrecy, and we cannot alert them. We must sneak in quietly and uncover their secrets."
Tie Xiong and Yan Qing nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with determination and trust.
They trudged carefully along the gravel path, each step feeling like walking on thin ice, afraid of alerting the enemy.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, rustling the leaves in the courtyard, as if something was approaching. Xu Yuehuai's eyes sharpened, and she gripped her long sword tightly, ready to deal with any potential danger.
“Shuashuashua——!”
Just then, several men in black rushed out from the shadows like ghosts, their eyes cold and ruthless, their weapons gleaming with a chilling light.
"Be on guard!"
Undeterred, Xu Yuehuai and his two companions quickly engaged in a thrilling battle.
Swords flashed and fists flew. Although the man in black was agile, he gradually showed signs of defeat under the combined attack of Xu Yuehuai and the other two.
After a fierce battle, the men in black were finally subdued. Xu Yuehuai and his two companions were exhausted, but their faces beamed with the joy of victory. They knew this was only the beginning of the fight; the real challenge was yet to come.
"keep going!"
They quickly entered the courtyard and began searching for the secrets of the mysterious organization.
No corner, no detail escaped their notice. Under a dilapidated desk, they discovered a hidden cellar entrance. They carefully opened the cellar door, and a musty smell wafted out.
This place seems to be an entrance to the underworld.
Xu Yuehuai gripped the sword tightly in her hand, the inscriptions on the blade shimmering with a mysterious light in the dim firelight, and her eyes sparkled with a bright light, like the brightest star in the night sky.
They walked into the basement step by step, each step feeling like they were stepping on the dust of history. The air around them seemed to freeze, and only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty basement.
"What place is that? Why does it smell so bad?" Tie Xiong rubbed his nose.
Xu Yuehuai said, "Be careful, there might be traps here."
Yan Qing and the other person nodded and proceeded cautiously.
They then lit tinder and searched the surrounding area, but they found nothing.
"Thump thump thump—!"
However, just as they were about to leave the cellar, they suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps, like mice scurrying around in a corner.
They immediately ducked to the side warily, only to see several men in black rushing over, clearly there to check on the cellar. Xu Yuehuai and the other two exchanged a smile, deciding to give them a surprise.
They suddenly appeared, launching a thrilling chase. Although the man in black was highly skilled, he gradually found himself in a difficult situation thanks to the clever tactics of Xu Yuehuai and his companions. Ultimately, they successfully escaped the man in black's pursuit.
"Let's look in other places! Maybe we'll find a clue soon!" Xu Yuehua encouraged Yan Qing and the others.
Then the three of them continued to search the mansion like explorers, taking each step carefully, afraid of missing any valuable clues.
Finally, in a dusty, secluded corner, they discovered a well-hidden secret room.
The door to the secret room was tightly closed, but Xu Yuehuai keenly sensed a mysterious aura emanating from the crack in the door, as if some unspeakable secret was hidden behind it.
Xu Yuehuai took a deep breath and pushed the door open with both hands.
With a creak, the door to the secret room slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black interior.
Xu Yuehuai quickly took out a tinderbox, lit a candle, and the faint light flickered in the darkness, gradually illuminating the interior of the secret room.
The secret room was filled with all sorts of strange instruments and books, as well as some seemingly ordinary lists of men in black and letters.
Xu Yuehuai squatted down and carefully looked through the letters and lists.
As she read on, her expression gradually became serious.
What exactly is the purpose of this organization?
Why use so many people to risk their lives for them?
How did they manage to take advantage of those people?
Xu Yuehuai was filled with doubt and worry.
She frowned, recalling her previous investigation: the men in black, their deaths, and all the clues connected to them—it all seemed to be related to this conspiracy. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her turmoil.
That intuition, that thirst for the truth, made it impossible for her to give up. She opened her eyes, her gaze firm and resolute, and decided to continue her investigation.
“These aren’t the most crucial pieces of evidence yet. Let’s keep looking!” Xu Yuehuai said.
Tie Xiong and Yan Qing: "Yes—!"
As time went on, she gradually discovered more secrets and crimes of the organization. They searched the secret room again and found various documents and materials, which contained many secrets and plans of the mysterious organization.
She knew that this evidence was crucial to exposing the organization's crimes.
They eagerly began to peruse the documents, uncovering the true nature of the mysterious organization page by page.
It turns out that this organization has been secretly manipulating various forces in the martial arts world, attempting to instigate conflict and achieve its own ulterior motives.
Xu Yuehuai and the other two couldn't help but gasp in shock; the organization's ambition and conspiracy were simply outrageous.
“This evidence is extremely important, we must preserve it carefully!” Xu Yuehuai said.
She knew that this organization posed a great threat to the security of the country and its people.
Therefore, Xu Yuehuai resolved to inform the imperial court of the organization's existence, hoping to urge them to take action to eradicate this evil force. Although the task was arduous, she believed that with persistent effort, she would surely succeed.
Next, they quickly organized the evidence and prepared to return to the capital to report.
They must be extra careful along the way, and make sure the mysterious organization doesn't discover their whereabouts, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
