In the early morning, Su Mu habitually cast an oracle for himself. The divination indicated: Water under the mountain, suggesting a treacherous path ahead, fraught with danger. Su Mu furrowed his brow, a sense of unease rising within him.
"What’s wrong?" Ye Qiu noticed Su Mu's expression and asked with concern.
Su Mu shared the oracle's message with Ye Qiu. "The divination shows that we are about to face danger, and… this danger is related to a mysterious organization."
Ye Qiu's heart tightened. "A mysterious organization? Could it be… those people we encountered before?"
Su Mu shook his head. "I'm not sure. The oracle isn't clear; I only sense a powerful force lurking in the shadows, slowly approaching us."
"What should we do?" Ye Qiu inquired.
"Be cautious and observe," Su Mu replied. "When soldiers come, we will meet them; when water comes, we will use earth to block it. We just need to be prepared."
In the following days, Su Mu and Ye Qiu remained on high alert, but everything seemed calm, with no unusual occurrences.
"Could it be… that I miscalculated?" Su Mu wondered internally.
"Perhaps it was just a false alarm," Ye Qiu reassured him. "Don't worry too much."
However, just as they began to relax their vigilance, danger approached silently.
That night, as Su Mu and Ye Qiu were on their way home, suddenly a black sedan came barreling from the side, flipping their car over.
Struggling to crawl out of the wreckage, Su Mu and Ye Qiu found themselves surrounded by a group of men in black.
The figures in black moved with agility, their eyes sharp and exuding an air of menace.
"Who are you?" Ye Qiu asked sharply.
The black-clad individuals did not respond but instead launched an immediate attack.
Although Su Mu and Ye Qiu possessed some skills, they still felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of attackers.
At that moment, a mysterious figure in a white robe appeared behind the black-clad assailants.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the mysterious figure commanded the attackers to halt, and they respectfully stepped aside.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Su Mu asked, looking at the mysterious figure with a serious expression.
The figure slowly removed his hat, revealing a pale yet handsome face.
"We are the Xuanming Sect, and you..." The mysterious man paused, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes, "are our... targets..."
"Xuanming Sect?" Su Mu and Ye Qiu exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of shock in each other's eyes. They had never heard of this organization before.
"What do you want from us?" Su Mu asked again, his tone laced with caution.
The mysterious man let out a cold laugh. "What do we want? You will find out soon enough."
With that, the mysterious figure waved his hand, and the men in black surrounded them once more. Su Mu and Ye Qiu stood back to back, preparing to fight.
Although they were outnumbered, Su Mu and Ye Qiu did not give up. Su Mu utilized the secret techniques from the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual, sending spells flying and golden light shimmering, pushing back several of the attackers. Ye Qiu, on the other hand, relied on his exceptional combat skills to engage in close-quarters fighting with the men in black.
However, the sheer number of attackers and their rigorous training began to take a toll on Su Mu and Ye Qiu's stamina.
At that moment, the mysterious figure struck again. A Black Dagger appeared in his hand, emanating a chilling aura.
The mysterious figure moved like a ghost, his speed astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he was before Su Mu. Caught off guard, Su Mu was unable to evade and felt a sharp pain as the dagger grazed his arm.
“Su Mu!” Ye Qiu exclaimed in alarm, wanting to rush forward to help but was entangled by several men in black.
Su Mu clutched his injured arm, his face pale. He knew that today might be his last.
The mysterious figure advanced step by step toward Su Mu. “We are very interested in your medical skills and divination techniques. Join us in the Xuanming Sect, and I can spare your life.”
Su Mu scoffed, “Not a chance!”
The mysterious figure's gaze turned cold. “You’re asking for punishment by refusing my offer!”
He raised the dagger, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Su Mu. Just at that critical moment, a flash of golden light appeared, and a figure suddenly emerged in front of Su Mu, blocking the attack from the mysterious figure.
