Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

Chen You was stunned: "You're going too?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? Is it not okay?"

"Of course, that works too."

Chen You thought to himself, "Could it be that Tang Yan also wants to get her hands on the Mother-Child Mirror?"

"Fine, we'll see who has the best skills then."

As he passed through the medicinal herb field, Chen You casually picked a handful of unidentified precious herbs along the way.

On the surface, he pretended to take out his clothes and stuff them into his pocket, but in reality, he quietly put these precious herbs into the newly integrated flesh ring space with a thought.

Unbeknownst to them, the group followed the winding passage to an underground entrance deep inside.

However, at this moment, three powerful martial artists stood guard at the entrance, swords drawn.

Chen You glanced at them and immediately recognized their identities.

These three people had been following Cheng Changyin and were his men.

"Get out of here right now! This place has been occupied by Lord Cheng. If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame us for being impolite!" The lead guard said fiercely, drawing his sword.

"court death."

Chen You snorted coldly, too lazy to waste any more words.

With a swift movement, the domineering, jet-black blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, tearing through the darkness!

The guard who was speaking didn't even make a move to defend himself before his head was already flying high into the air.

At the same time, Tang Yan, standing beside him, was equally agile. Her cold longsword, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, instantly evaded the rightmost person's block and, with a "plop," precisely pierced the other's neck!

Killing the guard in the blink of an eye, Chen You uttered a single word: "Go!"

With a leap, he charged into the underground entrance like a night hawk.

The underground area was dark and damp, filled with a strong stench of blood. Along the way, there were many corpses of martial artists who had recently died, indicating that a group of people had fought fiercely here.

Before long, the passage ahead suddenly opened up, revealing several intricate forks in the road.

Tang Yan stopped and turned to look at Chen You, saying in a deep voice, "Chen You, it seems we have to part ways here."

"Oh? Which way do you want to go?" Chen You raised an eyebrow.

Tang Yan's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile: "That's a secret. Everyone came into this ruin for the rare treasure. From now on, it's up to each of us to rely on our own abilities."

Chen You shrugged indifferently: "Sure."

Without hesitation, Chen You stepped straight into the stone path in the middle.

Tang Yan then darted to the far left and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

As they went deeper, the violent dangers of the surface disappeared, and the surroundings became deathly silent.

Along the way, he occasionally encountered a few rogue martial artists who were blindly searching. When they saw that Chen You was alone, they had wicked thoughts, but Chen You easily dealt with them with a wave of his sword, turning them into fresh corpses on the ground.

Soon, Chen You followed his senses and arrived at a hidden stone chamber.

He pushed open the door and entered, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the scene inside.

In the center of this long-silent secret room sat three withered skeletal corpses, which, judging from their skeletal structure, were clearly two men and one woman!

Beside the three skeletons, on a dusty stone platform, lay a strangely made ancient book.

The pages are yellowed and fragile, with faint traces of vigorous ink remaining, as if recording something...

"Research for information about me in the vicinity."

Chen You, worried that there might be a trap here, immediately said.

[Information 1: This place contains eighteen secret chambers, each containing rare treasures and other valuable items.]

[Information 2: The secret room you entered contains a rare treasure, the Mother Mirror, but only the Mother Mirror is present.]

[Information 3: There are three corpses in the secret chamber. Years ago, the ruins erupted strangely, killing everyone in the sect. These three disciples were trapped here, barely clinging to life, and eventually died here, turning into a pile of bones.]

"So that's how it is..."

Seeing that there was no danger, Chen You picked up the books from the ground.

Just as he had guessed, it contained a record of the general circumstances of the three skeletons before their deaths.

The handwriting is somewhat blurred, but it records that this place was originally a sect called Yuanjiao.

One day, a strange fog appeared here, engulfing the entire sect.

Those affected by the eerie mist will undergo a mutation, becoming bloodthirsty, violent, and killing anyone they see.

The entire area was shrouded in eerie fog, leaving the three disciples with no choice but to flee here.

And so, they spent over a year here...

They also considered going out.

However, outside, monsters and strange beasts affected by the eerie fog are everywhere.

When they went out, they were inevitably affected by the eerie fog, and eventually they retreated to this place.

Finally, to avoid turning into bloodthirsty monsters, the three of them committed suicide by poisoning themselves and died here.

"So that's how it is... the eerie mist? What exactly is this?"

Chen You shook his head. Fortunately, the eerie mist had now disappeared.

Chen You suppressed his curiosity for the time being, casually put the book into his flesh ring, then raised his head and his gaze fell on the stone table not far away.

The mother mirror within the mother-child mirror is right there!

Chen You slowly walked forward.

On the table lay a simple, antique metal round mirror, its intricate carvings exuding an air of antiquity.

"Isn't this just like a regular mirror?"

Chen You picked up the mother mirror and examined it carefully, feeling quite puzzled.

The mirror was as smooth as water, reflecting his own face, and there seemed to be no magical phenomenon.

Meanwhile, in another dimly lit secret room.

Tang Yan looked at the objects lying in the stone box, her beautiful eyes shining with ecstatic joy.

She quickly reached out and picked it up; it was a delicate bronze mirror about the size of her palm.

However, upon closer inspection, her brows furrowed instantly: "Why is there only a sub-mirror??"

This is clearly just the child mirror within the mother-child mirror! Where exactly is the mother mirror?

Just as Tang Yan was anxiously searching for the whereabouts of the Mother Mirror, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from the passage outside the secret room.

Tang turned around warily, his hand instantly landing on the hilt of his sword.

The next moment, several powerful figures filed in, and the one leading them was none other than Cheng Changyin!

Beside Cheng Changyin stood a ruthless character with eyes as sharp as a hawk's and an aura of bloodthirstiness emanating from him!

Ma Sandao, nicknamed "Thousand-Faced Blade"!

"Hey, isn't this Chen You's female companion?" Ma Sandao glanced at Tang Yan, a cruel and sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

Cheng Changyin, with his hands behind his back, looked down at Tang Yan and asked, "Little girl, where's that Chen You kid?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Tang Yan gripped the mirror tightly in her hand, backing away step by step, her eyes coldly fixed on the crowd.

Ma Sandao cracked his neck, making a sore sound, then shrugged and laughed, "Young Master Cheng, this girl is still being stubborn even when she's about to die. Why don't I kill her and collect some interest from Chen You first?"

Cheng Changyin did not answer immediately. His gaze was fixed on the small mirror in Tang Yan's hand, lost in thought, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

He recognized it; this was a rare treasure!

He was thinking about how to get the item without Ma Sandao seeing it!

"I am the young lady of Luoyue Manor!" Tang Yan shouted sternly, attempting to intimidate her enemies. "Leave now, and I will let bygones be bygones! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Luoyue Manor?" Cheng Changyin was clearly taken aback upon hearing this, his brows furrowing slightly, as if he was quite wary of this power.

However, he quickly seemed to realize something, a mocking smile appearing on his lips. He shook his head and laughed, "Impossible! I've had the honor of meeting the young lady of Falling Moon Manor before! Who can you fool with this counterfeit? You really think you can scare me with just a fake?"

"Why waste words with her! Chop off her hands and feet and let the brothers have some fun first!" Ma Sandao chuckled lewdly, brandishing his blood-dripping dagger as he swaggered toward Tang Yan.
