Tianjie Yunmeng

The moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the quiet ancient town, as if covering this ancient land with a layer of mysterious silver yarn. The wind blows gently, driving the treetops to sway, making a rustling sound, as if telling a long-forgotten past.

Deep in the ancient town, an old house is hidden in the darkness. Surrounding the house, high walls stand tall, as if isolated from the world. And within the walls, a thrilling contest is quietly unfolding.

The night wind blew through the cracks in the window lattice, blowing the candlelight in the house, making the originally dim room even more eerie. Inside the house, a man in black was standing quietly in front of the window, his eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could penetrate the layers of darkness and see through all the truth.

The man's name is Lin Feng, and he is a famous swordsman in the martial arts world. This time he sneaked into this ancient town to investigate a strange disappearance case. And the house in front of him is the clue he is looking for.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and slowly drew out the long sword from his waist. The sword was shining coldly, as if it could swallow all the darkness. He swung the sword lightly, pointing the tip of the sword to the depths of the house, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

At this moment, a light sound of footsteps came from a distance. Lin Feng immediately turned around alertly, and saw an old man in gray clothes slowly walking into the room. The old man had a strange smile on his face, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

"You must be Lin Feng, right?" The old man spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and low.

Lin Feng nodded and said in a cold voice: "That's right. Who are you? Why did you set up such a maze here?"

The old man chuckled and said, "I am just a nobody. As for this maze, it is just to protect some secrets that should not be known by outsiders."

Lin Feng frowned and asked, "Is the secret you mentioned related to the missing case?"

The old man smiled but did not answer. He slowly raised his hand, and a cloud of black smoke suddenly emerged from his palm. The smoke quickly spread, shrouding the entire room in darkness.

Lin Feng's heart tightened, and he immediately swung his sword to chop at the black mist. However, where the sword light passed, only a void was left. The black mist seemed to have life, nimbly dodging his attacks while approaching him.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and moved quickly, trying to find the old man's trace in the darkness. However, the black fog followed him closely like a thorn in his flesh, making it impossible for him to get rid of it.

Just when Lin Feng felt a little overwhelmed, a beam of light suddenly flashed through the darkness. His eyes lit up, and he saw a woman in white holding a long sword, walking out of the darkness. The woman's swordsmanship was sharp, and every time she swung her sword, she could push the black fog back a little.

"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked vigilantly.

The woman smiled slightly and said, "I am Su Wan'er, and I am here to investigate this missing person case. This old man is one of the masterminds behind this case, and we must work together to subdue him."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Okay! Then let's attack together!"

After that, the two men simultaneously swung their swords and rushed towards the black fog. The sword light and the black fog intertwined, bursting out with shocking energy fluctuations. The whole room seemed to tremble at this moment, as if it was about to be torn apart by this force.

After a fierce battle, the black fog was finally forced back by the two men. The old man also revealed his true identity in the process. His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of reluctance and fear.

"You...you can actually break my maze!" said the old man in a trembling voice.

Lin Feng sneered and said, "Although your maze is strange, it is not enough to trap us. Now, it's time for you to explain the truth of the missing case!"

A trace of despair flashed in the old man's eyes. He knew he had nowhere to escape. Under the two people's questioning, he finally confessed the truth about the disappearances - it turned out that he had been using this house to perform an evil ritual to absorb the spirit of the people in the town. And those who disappeared were all sacrificed by him in the ritual.

After hearing the old man's explanation, Lin Feng and Su Wan'er were both furious. They immediately subdued the old man and prepared to hand him over to the government.

However, at this moment, a strong aura suddenly surged from the depths of the house. The two men felt nervous, knowing that even greater troubles were waiting for them. But they did not retreat, but held their swords tightly, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.

The night is still dark, and deep in the ancient town, a thrilling contest is still going on...
