"This... this is our family?" Shen Jingqi widened his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing. His body trembled slightly, his hands clenched into fists, with his nails digging deep into his palms. Lin Yue was equally shocked, her lips quivering slightly as she said, "So, we're really not ordinary people, our family actually has such a past." Her eyes were filled with confusion and pain, as if unable to accept this harsh reality all at once. The White-clothed Immortal nodded, a hint of weight in his gaze, and said, "That's right, you are descendants of that family. And that young man is your family's Guardian. He has been searching for you to protect you, hoping to revitalize your family anew." "Then who are those people in black? Why do they want to exterminate our family?" Lin Yue asked urgently, her eyes filled with anger and doubt. The White-clothed Immortal sighed and slowly said, "Those people in black covet your family's Cultivation Manual and Magical Treasures, so they launched this massacre. For so many years, they have been seeking you to eliminate you completely, ensuring their conspiracy remains hidden." "And who are you? Why do you know about these things?" Lin Yue asked curiously, her gaze tightly locked on the White-clothed Immortal, as if trying to discern more secrets from his eyes. The White-clothed Immortal looked at them, a flash of memory passing through his eyes, as if lost in the distant past. He slowly said, "I was once an elder of your family. In that upheaval, I was severely injured and saved by a master. Over the years, I have watched your family's movements in secret, waiting for the right moment to let you know the truth and revitalize the family." Upon hearing this, Lin Yue was filled with gratitude. She suddenly knelt on the ground, tears streaming down, and said, "Thank you, Senior, for revealing the truth. We will definitely strive to cultivate and avenge our family." Her voice was choked with determination and resolve. The White-clothed Immortal gently helped her up, a trace of comfort in his eyes, and said, "Stand up. However, those people in black are powerful, backed by even stronger forces. From now on, I'll teach you how to use your family's Cultivation Manual and Magical Treasures, hoping you grow strong quickly." In the days that followed, the White-clothed Immortal began to teach Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue with great care. He took them to a corner of a secret chamber, where many ancient books and Magical Treasures were placed. The White-clothed Immortal picked up a manual, flipped its pages, and began explaining the cultivation methods within. "The path of cultivation lies in comprehending Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and merging it with yourself. You must calm your mind, feel the presence of Spiritual Qi." The White-clothed Immortal explained while demonstrating the cultivation movements. His actions were light and smooth, as if he were one with the heavens and earth. Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue listened intently, their eyes fixed on the White-clothed Immortal's every move. Following his guidance, they began attempting cultivation. At first, they couldn't sense any Spiritual Qi, causing some anxiety and frustration. "Do not rush; cultivation is a long process that requires patience and perseverance." The White-clothed Immortal perceived their thoughts and gently comforted them. Under the White-clothed Immortal's encouragement, they continued their efforts. Gradually, they began to sense a faint trace of Spiritual Qi flowing around their bodies. That sensation was like a clear spring, nourishing their bodies and souls. As time passed, their cultivation progressed faster and faster. They learned how to use Spiritual Qi for attack and defense, and how to wield Magical Treasures to unleash powerful effects. Each advancement filled them with excitement and pride. However, during their cultivation, strange things often happened. Sometimes they felt a mysterious force secretly watching them. That force was cold and evil, making their skin crawl. "Senior, I sense a mysterious force watching us," Shen Jingqi said with knitted brows, concerned. The White-clothed Immortal nodded, a hint of vigilance in his gaze, and said, "I feel it too. Those people in black may have discovered your presence. They will not easily let you go. From now on, you must be more cautious and vigilant." Hearing this, Lin Yue was filled with fear. She tightly gripped the Magical Treasure in her hand and said, "We are not afraid, we will definitely protect ourselves and avenge our family." Her eyes were firm and courageous. During one of their cultivation sessions, they suddenly heard a peculiar sound. It sounded like someone whispering, yet also like the wind howling. They followed the direction of the sound and discovered it was coming from a corner of the secret chamber. They cautiously approached that corner, only to see a black hole there. The hole exuded an eerie aura, as if hiding countless dangers. "Senior, why is there a hole here?" Shen Jingqi asked in confusion. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 The White-clothed Immortal frowned, pondering for a moment, and said, "This hole might lead to a mysterious place. It could hide some secrets about your family or the conspiracies of those in black." "Should we go in and have a look?" Lin Yue asked eagerly, her eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity. The White-clothed Immortal hesitated for a moment and said, "Entering might be dangerous, but it's also an opportunity to uncover the truth. Be prepared; if you encounter danger, retreat immediately." Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue nodded, tightly holding their Magical Treasures, taking a deep breath, and slowly stepping into the hole. The hole was filled with a pungent odor, and darkness surrounded them. They cautiously felt their way forward, each step full of caution. Suddenly, they sensed a powerful force attacking them. They swiftly brandished their Magical Treasures in defense. The force collided with their treasures, emitting a blinding light. In the light, they saw a shadowy figure. The figure was tall, exuding a malicious aura. "Who are you? Why are you here?" the shadowy figure spoke in a deep voice, like a Demon from Hell. Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with caution. Shen Jingqi shouted, "We come seeking the truth, who are you?" The shadowy figure let out a cold laugh and said, "I won't let you know the truth; you all will die here today." With that, the shadow attacked them again. They engaged in an intense battle with the shadow. The shadow was extremely powerful; their attacks seemed ineffective against it. As the battle continued, they gradually fell into a predicament. "Senior, what should we do?" Lin Yue asked anxiously. Outside the hole, the White-clothed Immortal sensed the situation through his Magical Treasure. He shouted, "Hold on, I'll find a way to save you." Just as they were feeling desperate, the White-clothed Immortal suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hole. He wielded a treasure sword emitting light and charged at the shadow. The White-clothed Immortal and the shadow engaged in a thrilling battle. His swordsmanship was fierce and precise, each move carrying great power. The shadow gradually found itself at a disadvantage under his attack. Finally, the White-clothed Immortal pierced the shadow's vital point with a sword, and the shadow let out a scream, disappearing into the darkness.
