Balala the Magic Fairy

Chapter 159: The Qing Dynasty (3)

As the night fell and the stars disappeared, the night sky of the Qing Dynasty was covered by heavy dark clouds, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. In Zhen Huan's secret room, the candlelight flickered, reflecting the solemn faces of the three people.

"This letter..." Yinzhen frowned, and gently stroked the edge of the letter with his fingers, "It seems that our enemy is more cunning than we thought."

A hint of determination flashed in Yan Lili's eyes: "Sect Master, Sister Huan, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative to attack and reveal their true colors."

Zhan Tianjiao clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Yes, we should act immediately and not let these conspiracies succeed."

Zhen Huan's eyes moved between the two of them, and finally landed on Yinzhen's face: "Yinzhen, what do you mean?"

Yinzhen took a deep breath and said slowly: "We can't act rashly. We must first find out their real purpose. Although this letter reveals part of their plan, more details are still hidden in the dark."

"Then what should we do?" Yan Lili asked anxiously.

A gleam of light flashed in Yinzhen's eyes: "We need a bait to lure them out of their mischief."

"Bait?" Zhan Tianjiao raised his eyebrows. "You mean, we deliberately leaked some false information to make them take the bait?"

"That's right." Yinzhen nodded, "We need to create an illusion and make them think that we have fallen into their trap."

A hint of understanding flashed in Zhen Huan's eyes: "I understand. We can pretend to have discovered their plan and prepare to take action, then they will definitely take action."

"Okay, let's do this." Yan Lili's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I will be responsible for spreading false information and make them believe that we have taken the bait."

Zhan Tianjiao said in a deep voice: "I will strengthen the sect's defense."

"I will keep a close eye on those suspicious elders." Zhen Huan's tone was filled with unquestionable determination.

The three people's gazes met in the dim candlelight, and there was a determination flashing in each other's eyes.

In the next few days, the Qing Sect was calm, but under the calm surface, there were undercurrents. Yan Lili cleverly spread the false news, Zhan Tianjiao secretly strengthened the sect's defense, and Zhen Huan kept an eye on the every move of those suspicious elders.

Finally, on a moonless night, a dark shadow appeared silently in the back mountain of the sect. The shadow's figure was looming in the night, and he carefully avoided the patrolling disciples and came to a hidden cave.

"You're here." A low voice came from the cave.

The shadow nodded and lowered his voice, "Everything is going according to plan. They have taken the bait."

"Very good." The voice in the cave had a hint of satisfaction in its voice. "Now, it's time to start our final plan."

There was a hint of fanaticism in the shadow's eyes: "Yes, sir."

However, what they didn't know was that while they were plotting, a slender figure was lurking silently in the grass not far away.

"The truth is finally revealed." A cold light flashed in Yan Lili's eyes.

The night breeze blew gently, and her figure disappeared into the night like a ghost.

When Yan Lili brought the news back to the secret room, the faces of the three people became extremely solemn.

"It seems that our guess is correct." Zhen Huan's eyes flashed with a cold light, "They really have some plan."

Zhan Tianjiao clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "We must act immediately and not let their plan succeed."

"That's right." Yinzhen's voice was full of determination, "Now it's time to reveal their true colors."

Under the night sky, the Great Qing Sect was quiet and deep, like a sleeping beast, waiting for the dawn. However, beneath this tranquil appearance, a storm was brewing.

Yan Lili, Zhan Tianjiao, Zhen Huan and Yinzhen sat in the secret room. The candlelight projected their shadows on the wall, making them look particularly solemn.

"We must proceed with caution." Yinzhen's voice was low and powerful, "The power of the traitor may be greater than we imagined."

Zhen Huan's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Yes, we can't give them any chance to take advantage of us."

Zhan Tianjiao gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "I have arranged reliable disciples to strengthen patrols, and any abnormalities will be discovered immediately."

Yan Lili gently stroked the Chaos Sword in her hand, and the sword body flickered with a faint blue light under the candlelight.

"Very good." Yinzhen nodded, "We still need a plan, a plan that can defeat them in one fell swoop."

The four of them met eyes, and there was a determination gleam in each other's eyes.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the secret room. A disciple rushed in with a panicked look: "Master, it's bad, there is something strange happening in the back mountain!"

Yinzhen's expression changed, and he immediately stood up: "Lead the way!"

The four followed closely behind and quickly rushed towards the back mountain.

The night wind howled and the trees rustled.

When they arrived at the back mountain, the scene in front of them made everyone gasp. The originally peaceful cave was now emitting a strange red light, and a strong spiritual power wave came from the cave, shaking the surrounding trees slightly.

"This is..." Zhen Huan's expression became solemn, "Someone has set up a powerful magic array in the cave."

A hint of fighting spirit flashed in Zhan Tianjiao's eyes: "We can't let them succeed, we must stop them!"

Yan Lili tightly grasped the Chaos Sword, with the tip of the sword pointed directly at the cave entrance: "Then let's see what tricks they are playing!"

The four of them looked at each other and walked into the cave at the same time. The cave was deep and winding, the red light was getting stronger and stronger, and a repressive atmosphere filled the air.

"Everyone, be careful." Yinzhen warned, "This magic circle is not simple, there may be a trap."

They moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution. Suddenly, a low chanting sound came from deep inside the cave, and along with the chanting sound, the light of the magic circle became stronger and stronger.

"Hurry!" Zhen Huan's face changed, "They have already started, we must stop them!"

The speed of the four people increased instantly, and their figures shuttled quickly in the cave, and in a flash they arrived at the center of the magic circle. A group of people in black were seen surrounding a huge magic circle, chanting spells in their hands and muttering to themselves.

"Stop!" Yinzhen shouted, and his body was as fast as lightning, rushing towards the men in black.

Zhan Tianjiao, Yan Lili and Zhen Huan followed closely behind, holding long swords, war swords and guqin in their hands respectively, ready to fight.

The men in black seemed to be prepared. They quickly dispersed and each cast powerful spells, engaging in a fierce battle with Yinzhen and his three companions.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" Countless magic spells intertwined in the air, forming a gorgeous and dangerous feast of light and shadow.

Yinzhen had a folding fan in his hand at some point. He waved the fan, and each blow carried powerful spiritual power, dissolving the attacks of the men in black one by one.

Zhan Tianjiao's sword shuttled through the air like a dragon, with sword energy running rampant. Every time the sword was swung, there was a sound of breaking through the air, making it impossible for the man in black to defend himself.

Yan Lili's Chaos Sword was as elusive as a ghost, with numerous sword shadows, and each sword was aimed directly at the vital points of the man in black.

Zhen Huan's guqin was playing by itself in the air, and the sound of the guqin turned into invisible sharp blades, cutting through the defenses of the men in black.

Although the men in black were numerous and powerful, they gradually fell into a disadvantage when Yinzhen and his four men joined forces.

"Damn it!" A leader of the men in black roared, suddenly took out a black jade talisman from his arms and crushed it.

"Not good!" Yinzhen's face changed drastically, "They are going to detonate the magic circle!"

"Stop him quickly!" Zhan Tianjiao shouted, his body accelerated instantly, and his sword pointed directly at the leader of the men in black.

However, just as Zhan Tianjiao was about to touch the leader of the men in black, the magic circle suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and a powerful force blew everyone away.

"Boom!" The entire cave collapsed in the violent explosion, and smoke and dust rose up, covering the sky and the sun.

Yinzhen, Yan Lili, Zhan Tianjiao and Zhen Huan coughed in the dust, and their vision gradually became clear. Their eyes passed through the hazy smoke and fell on a mess not far away.

"Ahem..." Zhan Tianjiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with anger, "These guys are so cruel."

Zhen Huan's guqin was suspended beside her, the strings trembling slightly, and her face was slightly pale: "We must find out who is behind this."

Yan Lili tightly grasped the Chaos Sword, and the runes on the sword flickered in the night. Her eyes searched the ruins, as if looking for something: "They... escaped."

Yinzhen's folding fan was closed, and his eyes revealed a trace of solemnity: "It seems that our actions have aroused their vigilance."

"What should we do now?" Zhan Tianjiao clenched the sword in his hand, pointing the tip of the sword at the night sky.

Yinzhen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Although we prevented the explosion this time, they may have a backup plan."

"I agree." Zhen Huan nodded, her fingers lightly brushing the strings, making a crisp sound, "Also, we must find the traitor."

"Traitor?" A trace of doubt flashed in Zhan Tianjiao's eyes, "How do we determine the identity of the traitor?"

A gleam of light flashed in Yan Lili's eyes: "We can find out the suspicious points through the clues of their actions this time."

"Okay, let's do it this way." Yinzhen's voice was full of determination. "We will split up. Yan Lili and Zhen Huan will be responsible for investigating the traitor, while Zhan Tianjiao and I will be responsible for strengthening the sect's defenses."

The four people's eyes met in the night, and there was a determination flashing in each other's eyes.

Under the night, the lights of the Qing Sect gradually went out, but the undercurrent within the sect became more and more turbulent. Yan Lili and Zhen Huan shuttled through the night, their figures as elusive as ghosts.

"Lily, have you found anything?" Zhen Huan's voice floated gently in the night breeze.

Yan Lili's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. She swept her sight across every corner of the sect: "I sensed several abnormal spiritual fluctuations. They seemed to be guiding something."

"Take me there." A hint of determination flashed in Zhen Huan's eyes.

The two followed the spiritual energy fluctuations silently and finally came to a remote courtyard. The door of the courtyard was closed, but a faint light shone through the crack of the door.

"Here..." Zhen Huan frowned slightly, "The elders of the sect live here, could it be..."

A cold light flashed in Yan Lili's eyes: "Let's go in and take a look."

The two of them carefully pushed open the door of the courtyard and entered the courtyard quietly. The courtyard was quiet, with only an oil lamp swaying in the wind.

"Is anyone there?" Yan Lili lowered her voice and scanned the courtyard.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed out from the darkness and rushed towards Yan Lili. Yan Lili reacted very quickly, and the Chaos Sword was unsheathed in an instant, colliding with the black shadow's weapon.

"Clang!" The sound of metal collision echoed in the night sky.

"Who is it?" Zhen Huan's guqin was spinning in the air, and the sound of the guqin turned into invisible attacks, pointing directly at the black shadow.

The figure of the black shadow was revealed under the attack of Qin Yin. It was a man in a black robe with a hideous mask on his face and a hint of panic in his eyes.

"How...how did you find this place?" The black-robed man's voice was hoarse and low.
