The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

Chapter 427

Taoist Master Baimei knew very well that this mysterious man in black was the embodiment of Ren Xiaoyao's deepest obsession, and was the concrete embodiment of his persistent pursuit of the truth about his mother's disappearance.

"Baimei, do you admit your guilt?" The voice of the man in black robe sounded again, cold and majestic, making Taoist Baimei unable to avoid it.

Taoist Master Baimei knew that any lie would not be able to escape the eyes of the black-robed man at this moment. He took a deep breath and said frankly: "Young Master Ren, I am not completely innocent. The matter of that girl is indeed related to me. But please believe that I had no ill intentions at the time. I was just entrusted by someone and had many difficulties in doing so."

The black-robed man tilted his head slightly, as if listening to the Taoist priest's thoughts. After a while, he slowly spoke: "Who do you mean by 'trusted by someone'? And what is the matter?"

Taoist Master Baimei pondered for a moment and decided not to hide it anymore. He slowly told a long-forgotten story. It turned out that many years ago, Taoist Master Baimei was entrusted by an old friend to protect a woman with a top-secret secret. The woman was Ren Xiaoyao's mother. However, they encountered a carefully planned siege. The enemy was powerful and Taoist Master Baimei was outnumbered. In the end, he failed to protect the woman. She was abducted by a mysterious force and her whereabouts are unknown.

"I know I am guilty of this matter, and I have been secretly looking for clues for many years, hoping to atone for my sins." Taoist Master Baimei said apologetically with a firm look in his eyes, "Now that you have brought up this matter, I am willing to do my best to help you find your mother."

The black-robed man listened quietly, with a dark aura flowing around him, as if he was weighing the truth of Taoist Master Baimei's words. After a moment, he nodded gently and said, "Okay, I believe you. Since you have admitted your mistakes, you should take this as a lesson and do your best to help me find my mother. If you have any second thoughts, I will never forgive you."

Taoist Master Baimei breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that it was not easy to gain the trust of the man in black robe. This trust was both a pressure and a motivation for him. He solemnly promised: "I will do my best to live up to your trust."

The black-robed man nodded with satisfaction, and his figure gradually faded and disappeared in Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness. Ren Xiaoyao's consciousness returned to reality, his eyes slightly closed, his face calm, but his eyes flashed with unprecedented determination and perseverance.

At the same time, Taoist Master Baimei also withdrew from Ren Xiaoyao's body and turned into a human form again. He looked at Ren Xiaoyao in front of him with mixed feelings. He understood that the black-robed man in Ren Xiaoyao's heart was not only a symbol of his mother, but also his anger at the injustice of the world and his deep desire for family affection. Taoist Master Baimei secretly vowed to find out the truth and save the woman who was lost in the whirlpool of the rivers and lakes to make up for his mistakes in the past and to repay his debt to Ren Xiaoyao.

The waves of the rivers and lakes became more turbulent because of this conversation in the sea of ​​consciousness, and the fate of Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Master Baimei became more closely intertwined. They will join hands to embark on a road full of unknowns and challenges to uncover the secrets hidden under the dust of the years and to pursue the family affection forgotten by time. What awaits them ahead will be the bloody storm of the rivers and lakes, or the long-lost reunion and forgiveness... Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were firm and his tone was resolute. His longing and persistence for his mother pierced Taoist Master Baimei's heart like a sharp sword. Baimei's face changed slightly. He knew the complexity and danger of the matter, but facing the determination of the young man in front of him, he could not say any excuses. He took a deep breath, as if to calm the emotions surging in his heart, then bowed slightly to the man in black robes and turned to leave.

However, just as Taoist Baimei was about to step out of his sea of ​​consciousness, the black-robed man suddenly spoke: "Wait a minute." Although the voice was light, it hit Baimei's heart like a heavy hammer, causing him to pause. The black-robed man did not raise his head, but continued to whisper: "Baimei, you are not alone on this trip, you need to bring Ren Xiaoyao with you."

When these words came out, Taoist Master Baimei and Ren Xiaoyao were both stunned. Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with doubt and expectation, while Baimei looked embarrassed, obviously worried about this sudden arrangement. He hesitated for a moment, but finally turned to look at Ren Xiaoyao and whispered: "Young Master Ren, this operation is extremely dangerous, are you sure you want to go with us?"

Ren Xiaoyao did not hesitate at all. He held his head high and his eyes sharp: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope to save my mother, I am willing to give it a try even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire." His tone was full of determination, as if he had put life and death aside.

Taoist Master Baimei sighed inwardly when he saw this, knowing that he could not persuade him to change his mind. He nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing with Ren Xiaoyao's decision. Then, he closed his eyes and concentrated, silently chanting a spell, and a faint white light appeared around him. This white light gradually gathered into a beam of light, like a bridge between Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Master Baimei.

"Young Master Ren, please hold this beam of light." The voice of Taoist Baimei echoed in his sea of ​​consciousness. Ren Xiaoyao stretched out his right hand as he was told. The moment his fingertips touched the beam of light, a cool feeling spread from the palm of his hand to his whole body, as if an invisible force tightly connected him and Taoist Baimei.

As Taoist Master Baimei finished his incantation, the beam of light suddenly became brighter, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, carrying Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Master Baimei out of the sea of ​​consciousness and back to the real world. They appeared in a desolate valley, with withered grass and trees all around, and a chilly air in the air, as if indicating that there was some unpredictable danger hidden here.

Taoist Master Baimei looked around with a serious expression: "This place is called 'Netherworld Valley', it is a very hidden evil stronghold. As far as I know, your mother is very likely imprisoned here. However, this place is full of traps and guarded by many evil masters, we need to be cautious at every step."

Ren Xiaoyao tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, the cold light flashing on the sword, reflecting his resolute face: "Uncle Baimei, when do we start?"

Taoist Master Baimei took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with determination: "Do it immediately. Remember, our goal is to find and rescue your mother, not to tangle with the enemy. Once you find a clue, don't act impulsively."

The two looked at each other, their minds connected, and then they blended into the night silently, sneaking towards the depths of the Nether Valley. In the valley, the wind was howling, as if foreshadowing an impending bloody storm... The determination in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes was like the brightest stars in the night sky, flashing a light that could not be ignored. He stared at Taoist Master Baimei, his eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing people's hearts. Taoist Master Baimei knew that any hypocritical excuses would be useless at this moment, and only by telling the truth might there be a glimmer of hope. He took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said seriously: "Young Master Ren, I did have an intersection with that girl, but it was not out of malice."

"A few years ago, she was in danger due to an accident and was saved by me by chance. She was pregnant at the time, and I took her in to the Taoist temple to help her baby because I saw she was alone and helpless. However, her arrival brought a lot of trouble, including Ren Haoyu. He coveted the secret of her life experience and wanted to take her away by force. In order to protect her and her child, I negotiated with him and finally designed a way to seal the secret in a secret place, and promised to tell her in person when her child grew up."

Taoist Baimei's words echoed in Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness, stirring up ripples. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, with both regret for his mother's experience and dissatisfaction with Taoist Baimei's concealment of the truth. However, he did not get angry immediately, but asked in a deep voice: "Why did you wait until today to tell me the truth?"

Taoist Master Baimei lowered his head in guilt and said, "I originally planned to tell you everything at the right time, but I was afraid that Ren Haoyu would harm you after learning the news, so I have been hesitant. Now that you have enough strength, and Ren Haoyu has come to me personally, I know there is no reason to hide it anymore. Please punish me, Master Ren, I am willing to accept the punishment."

Ren Xiaoyao stared at Taoist Master Baimei for a moment. Although he was angry, he also knew that this was not the time to pursue the past. He waved his hand, signaling Baimei to withdraw, and said: "It has come to this point, and punishment is useless. You just need to help me rescue my mother, and the rest will be discussed later." Taoist Master Baimei felt relieved when he heard this, and quickly agreed. His figure turned into smoke again and disappeared in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Ren Xiaoyao turned to look at the man in black robes. The familiar figure made him feel mixed emotions. The man in black robes never spoke, but he seemed to know everything. His existence was like a magic needle in this sea of ​​consciousness, which could always bring an invisible peace no matter how turbulent the wind and waves were.

"Where is my mother?" Ren Xiaoyao finally asked the most pressing question in his heart.

The black-robed man slowly stood up, and the eyes hidden under the hood seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and look directly into people's hearts. He stretched out his finger, pointed to the north, and whispered: "In the extremely cold land, in the frozen snowy area, there is a place called 'Frost Valley'. That's where your mother was sealed."

Ren Xiaoyao had already made up his mind when he heard this. He closed his eyes and began to mobilize the true energy in his body, preparing to use the "Taiqing Poyun Jue" taught by Taoist Master Baimei to break through the sea of ​​consciousness and return to his physical body. At the same time, he secretly vowed to break into the Frost Valley, rescue his mother, and uncover all the mysteries.

Just as Ren Xiaoyao was about to break through, the black-robed man suddenly spoke in a deep and powerful voice: "Remember, Ren Xiaoyao, your enemy is not just Ren Haoyu. The world is so big that conspiracies and tricks are everywhere. You also have to be wary of those forces hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to move. Remember, although force is strong, wisdom is more important."

Ren Xiaoyao understood and nodded slightly, then he used all his strength to activate his true energy. The clouds in his sea of ​​consciousness changed instantly, and a dazzling beam of light shot up into the sky. After the beam of light dissipated, Ren Xiaoyao's figure appeared in reality. He stood on the bluestone square in front of the Taoist temple, looking resolutely to the north, where Shuanghua Valley was waiting for him.

At the same time, Ren Haoyu, who was far away, sensed this strange phenomenon and his face was gloomy. He knew that Ren Xiaoyao already knew everything and was about to take action. He snorted coldly and ordered his men around him: "Pass the order down, gather the troops at full speed and rush to Shuanghua Valley immediately. I want to find that woman before Ren Xiaoyao, otherwise, everything will be in vain!"

The waves of the martial arts world are rising again. A storm of secrets surrounding Ren Xiaoyao's mother, family grievances and the forces of the martial arts world is about to unfold in Shuanghua Valley. Ren Xiaoyao, a young man who has just entered the martial arts world, is about to face the most severe challenge in his life, and every choice he makes will affect the future of the entire martial arts world... Ren Xiaoyao's eyes are fixed on Taoist Baimei, and his unquestionable determination is like cold iron, which makes Baimei's heart shudder. He understands that Ren Xiaoyao's words are not a joke, but a vow to fight for his life. He took a deep breath, knowing that if he wants to help Ren Xiaoyao save the girl, he must first solve the dilemma in front of him, so he suppressed his doubts and calmly faced the man in black robes.

"Young master, you have misunderstood. I really have nothing to do with this matter. I hope you can explain the whole story in detail. Perhaps I can do my best to help." Taoist Master Baimei tried his best to maintain a calm tone, trying to find a clue from the conversation.

The black-robed man lowered his eyes slightly, as if considering Bai Mei's words. After a moment, he said, "The girl you mentioned is my junior sister and Ren Haoyu's wife. She went astray for some reason and is now imprisoned. If you really want to help Ren Xiaoyao, you need to find a treasure called 'Bi Xue Yu Ling Long' and use it as a key to open the place where she is imprisoned."

When Baimei heard this, his mind raced as he thought to himself, "The Jade Linglong is a rare treasure rumored in the martial arts world. It is said that it contains a magical formation that is difficult for ordinary people to control. If I want to find this item, I'm afraid it will take some twists and turns." He looked at Ren Xiaoyao and saw a determined light in the young man's eyes. It was obvious that he was ready to go through fire and water.

"Young Master Ren, I am willing to go through this difficult time with you to find the Jade Linglong and rescue your mother." Taoist Master Baimei stated resolutely. He knew that this move was full of risks, but he also understood that this was the only way to resolve grudges and save lives.

After Ren Xiaoyao heard this, gratitude flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said firmly: "Uncle Baimei, I believe you. Let's set off immediately without further delay."

The two of them left Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness, and Taoist Baimei shook and regained his physical form. Ren Xiaoyao clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination, as if he had thrown all distractions behind him and devoted himself to this unknown adventure.
