Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze didn't want to get involved in any more trouble, but when he saw the hatred and desire in the woman's eyes, he finally felt compassion.

So, on a sunny day, Lin Ze and Su Yao, with their curiosity and longing for the unknown world, resolutely embarked on a thrilling journey. Along the way, they were accompanied by green mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers blooming, but the two had no time to take care of the beautiful scenery, because Lin Ze was wholeheartedly teaching Su Yao martial arts.

Su Yao is like a rough jade, and her martial arts talent is amazing. Coupled with her extraordinary diligence, her martial arts progress is amazing. Whether it is scorching sun or biting cold wind, Su Yao never slacks off and always practices hard.

Days passed by, and one day, the master and his apprentice were walking on the road as usual, and suddenly a quiet and peaceful village appeared in front of them. However, when they walked into the village, they were shocked by the scene before them: the crops that should have been lush and vibrant were now withered inexplicably; the clear water source had now become turbid and emitted a foul odor. Seeing this, the kind villagers gathered around and cried to Lin Ze and Su Yao about this sudden disaster.

Seeing this, Lin Ze frowned slightly and decided to investigate further. After careful investigation, he finally found a clue - it turned out that a group of evil demons had secretly set up a strange formation here, which was constantly sucking the vitality of this land. After knowing the truth, Lin Ze was furious. He knew that if the evil deeds of this group of demons were not stopped in time, the whole village and even the surrounding areas would suffer a devastating disaster.

Without any hesitation, Lin Ze rushed to the lair of the demon cultivators with Su Yao. Despite facing a powerful enemy, the fledgling Su Yao showed no fear and showed the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. In the fierce battle, Lin Ze always protected Su Yao and created opportunities for her. And Su Yao lived up to expectations. At the critical moment, she unexpectedly broke through her own limits with her hard training and potential that burst out on the spot. She flashed and shuttled through the enemy formation like a ghost, and finally successfully destroyed the core formation of the demon cultivators in one fell swoop.

As the dazzling light of the core formation dimmed in an instant, and with a loud bang, it collapsed, the originally orderly and aggressive demon cultivators suddenly fell into chaos. They looked at the sudden change in horror, at a loss, and their previous arrogance disappeared in an instant.

Lin Ze, who had been lurking in the dark and calmly observing the development of the battle, keenly captured this excellent opportunity. He flashed and leaped to the center of the battlefield like a ghost, while dancing his hands and muttering something. In an instant, an unparalleled force surged out of his body, as if to tear the world apart.

This was the peerless magic skill that Lin Ze mastered - "The Qiankun Devil Breaking Technique"! This skill was incredibly powerful, and once it was used, it caused the wind and clouds to change color, and lightning and thunder roared. Lin Ze blasted towards the group of chaotic demon cultivators with the force of thunder and lightning, and for a moment, the entire battlefield was shrouded in this terrifying energy.

Those demon cultivators didn't have time to react at all, and were blown away with screams, some even turned to ashes on the spot. In just a moment, this group of once invincible demon cultivators were completely defeated by Lin Ze, and not a single one was left alive.

The fierce battle finally came to an end, and the villagers who survived the disaster gathered around, their eyes full of gratitude and respect. They thanked Lin Ze and Su Yao who were standing beside them, and their eyes were filled with tears.

Lin Ze smiled and calmed everyone, his eyes slowly sweeping over every face full of joy. Seeing these villagers smile brightly again because they got rid of the threat of the demon cultivators, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Especially when he turned his head and looked at Su Yao beside him, this relief turned into full pride. After this period of experience, the young girl who was a little immature at the beginning has grown a lot. Not only has her martial arts improved, but more importantly, she is not afraid when facing strong enemies and moves forward courageously.

Lin Ze knew that with Su Yao's bravery and extraordinary talent, as long as she was given some more time and training, she would be able to stand on her own in the future and become a famous female hero. By then, she would be like today, doing justice and saving countless innocent people from the abyss of suffering. Thinking of this, Lin Ze gently patted Su Yao's shoulder, his eyes showing infinite expectations for her future.

To express their gratitude, the villagers invited Lin Ze and Su Yao to stay in the village for a few more days.

Lin Ze readily agreed. During the past few days, he taught the villagers some simple self-defense techniques to prevent future dangers.

Every day, Su Yao follows the clever girls in the village to learn embroidery and other exquisite needlework skills. She finds these skills full of novelty and fun, and every stitch and thread seems to contain endless mysteries waiting for her to explore. From the initial unfamiliar techniques to gradually mastering the skills, Su Yao feels an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in the process.

After just a few days, Lin Ze and Su Yao were ready to embark on the journey again. Just as they were about to set off, the village chief came to see them off in person and solemnly took out a precious item that was regarded as the treasure of the town and village and handed it to Lin Ze. The village chief solemnly introduced that this was a rare treasure that had been passed down from generation to generation in the village, and it would be of immeasurable benefit to those who devoted themselves to cultivation. Lin Ze knew the importance of this gift and waved his hands to refuse it at first, but in the end he could not resist the kindness of the village chief and had to take it with gratitude.

After saying goodbye to the village, the two walked forward and soon stepped into a vast and deep dense forest. This forest was like a natural maze, with tall trees and branches intertwined into a dense green sky. A layer of faint mist filled the forest, adding a bit of mysterious atmosphere.

Just as the two were walking carefully through the woods, suddenly, a terrifying monster as big as a mountain stood in the middle of the road ahead, blocking their way. The monster exuded a chilling breath, and its big copper bell eyes flashed with extremely ferocious light, staring fiercely at the uninvited guest in front of it. Facing such a strong enemy, Su Yao was not afraid at all. She quickly clenched the long sword in her hand and looked at Lin Ze beside her with a firm gaze. Lin Ze's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a relaxed smile, and whispered: "Don't panic, isn't this a great opportunity for me to test the new realm you have recently broken through to?" Hearing this, Su Yao nodded lightly to show that she understood, and then her figure flashed, and she pounced on the monster like an arrow from a string, and instantly launched a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the behemoth.

Lin Ze stood firmly in place, watching the battle situation intently, ready to help Su Yao at the critical moment. Su Yao displayed all the exquisite moves she had learned and practiced hard, and the sword flashed and the sword energy was everywhere. Although she could not completely subdue the ferocious monster in one fell swoop, she did not fall into a disadvantage in the fierce confrontation. The two sides fought back and forth, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate.
