The Journey Against Time, I am the King of Scrolls in a Hundred Times Space

The investigation team sent by the Jianghu Alliance shouldered a heavy mission and quickly embarked on an arduous journey to the border. This team is led by Zhao Peng, Lin Feng's right-hand disciple. Zhao Peng has a strong figure, firm eyes, and a sense of courage and perseverance between his brows. The members behind him are all young and promising elites in the Jianghu Alliance, who are skilled in martial arts and full of justice.

The team rode at high speed, the sound of horse hooves echoing rapidly on the empty road. At first, everywhere they passed were bustling towns with bustling crowds and noisy streets. But as the journey progressed, the scenery on both sides of the road gradually changed. The bustling scene receded like a tide and was replaced by desolate countryside. The rolling hills appear bare, and occasionally a few withered plants can be seen swaying in the wind, as if telling the barrenness and loneliness of this land.

"Senior Brother Zhao, this mission is difficult and full of unknown dangers. We don't know where the mysterious force comes from. Can we really complete the mission successfully?" A young disciple with a green face was riding on a horse, frowning. , said worriedly. His eyes revealed fear and uneasiness about the unknown, but also firm determination.

Zhao Peng turned to look at him, his expression serious, his eyes full of encouragement and confidence. "Junior brother, don't worry too much. As a member of the Jianghu Alliance, we shoulder the important task of safeguarding justice and protecting the peace of the Jianghu. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, no matter how powerful and mysterious the mysterious force is, we must strengthen our faith. Once we get to the bottom of it, they will never be allowed to do evil and endanger the world." His voice was steady and powerful, as if giving everyone a reassurance.

After several days of running around, the team finally arrived at the border area. The mountains here are cascading and continuous, with towering peaks reaching into the clouds and mist lingering in between. The dense jungle is like a green ocean, tightly wrapping the mountains, leaving only some steep rocks exposed. The complex terrain is like a natural barrier, which is daunting.

The team carefully shuttled through the mountain forest, their steps were light and cautious, trying not to make any noise. Everyone's nerves are tense, like a fully drawn bowstring. Zhao Peng was walking at the front of the team. His eyes were sharp and he was always observing what was going on around him. Suddenly, a gust of wind passed by and the leaves rustled, breaking the original tranquility.

"Be careful!" Zhao Peng immediately lowered his voice and shouted. His hand quickly grasped the hilt of the sword, and his body squatted slightly in a defensive posture.

When everyone heard his warning, their nerves instantly became tense. They clenched their weapons and looked around with vigilant eyes, ready for battle. However, after waiting for a while, a frightened hare emerged from the dense grass and disappeared without a trace, giving everyone a false alarm.

"It turned out to be a rabbit. It scared me." A disciple said with relief.

Zhao Peng still remained vigilant, "Don't be careless, there may be dangers hidden everywhere here."

The team continued to move forward, their footsteps being particularly clear in the silent mountain forest. Soon, they discovered some strange traces. There are messy and deep and shallow footprints on the ground. At first glance, it seems that they were not left by ordinary people. The surrounding branches also showed signs of being broken, and some low bushes were trampled to pieces.

"This is definitely not something left by an ordinary person. It must be related to the mysterious force. Let's search carefully to see if there are any other clues." Zhao Peng squatted down and carefully observed these traces, trying to deduce the number of people and the direction of travel of the other party. and purpose.

Just as they were carefully following these traces, there was suddenly a fierce fighting sound in the distance. The sound echoed in the valley, breaking the silence of the mountain forest.

"Quick, go over and take a look!" Zhao Peng led everyone to rush towards the direction of the sound without hesitation. Their figures shuttled quickly through the mountain forest, branches and thorns scratched their clothes, but they didn't care at all.

Soon, they arrived at the scene of the fight. I saw a group of men in black besieging several people in the world. Although the few Jianghu people resisted vigorously, they were obviously at a disadvantage. They were injured in many places and their clothes were dyed red with blood.

"Stop!" Zhao Peng shouted, the sound like a bell echoing in the valley. The team members rushed into the battle circle without hesitation like a tiger descending a mountain, and instantly started a fierce fight with the man in black.

Zhao Peng's swordsmanship was fierce, and as the sword shadow flickered, several men in black retreated one after another. The other team members also used their special skills to start a desperate struggle with the man in black.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the men in black looked at each other and seemed to have a tacit understanding. They fled in all directions and disappeared into the forest in an instant.

"Thank you all for saving me. If you hadn't arrived in time, we would have died here." A seriously injured Jianghu man said weakly, leaning against a tree. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of gratitude and exhaustion.

Zhao Peng stepped forward and handed him a bottle of wound medicine, "You're welcome. Drawing a sword to help when there's an injustice on the road is what chivalrous people like us should do. Why are there men in black here? Do you know their status? origin?"

The charlatan took the medicine, poured some out and applied it on the wound. The pain made him gasp. After calming down, he said: "We don't know exactly. We only know that they suddenly appeared, robbed our property without saying a word, and wanted to kill people and silence us."

Zhao Peng frowned and became even more confused. After thinking for a moment, he decided to conduct an investigation in a nearby village, perhaps getting more clues from the villagers.

The team helped the injured Jianghu people to a nearby village. The village looks very dilapidated, with sparse houses, mostly made of mud and thatch. There were a few children playing at the entrance of the village. When they saw a group of them approaching, they were so frightened that they ran home quickly.

Entering the village, they found that all the villagers looked frightened, and their eyes were full of vigilance and uneasiness. Seeing the stranger arriving, the villagers closed their doors one after another and hid in their houses and did not dare to come out.

"Uncle, is there anything unusual happening around here?" A disciple asked an old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face.

The old man looked at them warily, silent, with fear and hesitation in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhao Peng took out some silver coins from his arms and handed it to the old man, "Uncle, we are sent by the Jianghu Alliance to investigate the mysterious forces. We just want to solve everyone's troubles so that everyone can live a stable life. Don't worry, We have no ill intentions.”

The old man hesitated for a long time, looked at their sincere eyes, and then looked at the silver coins in his hands, and then slowly said: "Recently, strangers often appear in the neighborhood and behave sneakily. Sometimes you can hear strange noises at night. We don’t dare to go out easily.”

The team found an abandoned house in the village and used it as a temporary resting place. While arranging personnel to take care of the injured Jianghu people and injured disciples, they also sent people to inquire about information in and around the village.

At night, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting a cold light. Zhao Peng was alone in the room, thinking about what happened during the day by the faint candlelight. Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside the window, as if someone touched the window lightly.

He stood up alertly, quietly walked to the window, and gently opened the window, but he didn't see anyone.

"Am I too worried?" Zhao Peng muttered to himself. But his instinct told him that things were not that simple.

However, when the team members woke up early the next morning, they found that one disciple was missing.

"Everyone split up and look for it!" Zhao Peng was anxious, with a hint of anxiety and anger in his voice.

Everyone started a careful search around the village, calling out the name of the missing disciple, but there was still no trace of that disciple.

At this time, a sharp-eyed disciple discovered that a mysterious letter was shot on the big tree at the entrance of the village with a sharp arrow.

Zhao Peng rushed over quickly and carefully took down the letter. When I opened the letter, I saw it read: "If you want to save someone, come to Eagle Beak Cliff alone."

Zhao Peng knew that this might be a trap, but in order to save his disciples, he had firm eyes and decided to risk going to Eagle Beak Cliff without hesitation...
