Xuan Yang stood before the dilapidated temple, feeling the surge of power within him, lost in a myriad of thoughts.
In the palm of his hand, Puppet Power flowed like a gentle stream, sometimes morphing into a grotesque mask, at other times transforming into a roaring beast's head. It was unpredictable yet firmly under his control.
The dissipating Lord of Shadows did not bring him the relief he had anticipated; instead, it weighed him down with even greater pressure. What the hell is this? Why do I feel more exhausted than before? He let out a bitter laugh and shook his head, trying to cast away these negative emotions.
The secrets hidden within the broken temple, the mission he bore, and the challenges that lay ahead loomed over him like mountains, suffocating him. The eerie murals inside the temple, the mysterious altar, and the force that made his heart race—what did they all signify?
He didn't know, but he understood that everything was intricately linked to him. He felt like a pawn pushed to the forefront of fate's game, unable to escape yet compelled to confront it. Taking a deep breath, he worked to calm his racing heart; he knew he could not be crushed by this pressure. He had to grow stronger. Only by becoming stronger could he protect himself and those around him, unravel the layers of mystery, and find the ultimate answer.
Clenching his fists and feeling the surging power within him, his gaze gradually became resolute. Suddenly, an elderly voice echoed in his ear: "Young man, you are doing well." The voice was like a bell tolling at dusk and dawn, carrying a calming force that instantly soothed his inner turmoil.
Turning towards the source of the voice, Xuan Yang saw Lu Zhiyuan standing behind him, having appeared there without him noticing. With white hair yet youthful features, he exuded vitality in a flowing green robe that danced gently in the breeze, resembling a tall Qing Song tree standing firm against the elements.
"Village Chief?" Xuan Yang exclaimed in surprise; he hadn't expected Lu Zhiyuan to be here. He quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Village Chief, what brings you here?" Lu Zhiyuan stepped closer and patted Xuan Yang's shoulder. "You have successfully awakened the power of the Puppet Master. Now, what you need to do is continuously enhance your strength in preparation for the challenges ahead."
His tone was calm but carried an undeniable authority. "Challenges?" Xuan Yang asked with confusion. "What challenges?" With the Lord of Shadows defeated, what could possibly be more daunting?
Lu Zhiyuan sighed deeply, his gaze profound as if piercing through time and space to glimpse a distant future. "The Shadow Force is merely one of many threats we face; there are even more powerful enemies lurking in the shadows, waiting for their moment." His voice was low, tinged with helplessness and concern.
A chill ran down Xuan Yang's spine; he knew Lu Zhiyuan would not speak lightly. The challenges he mentioned were surely extraordinary. A wave of dread washed over him—there were even stronger foes? How could anyone survive this? "Village Chief, can you tell me what kind of enemies we are truly facing?" Xuan Yang asked eagerly, his tone filled with longing.
He desperately wanted to know the truth and understand what lay ahead.
Lu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Now is not the time. When you are strong enough, I will tell you everything." There were some things that he was not meant to know just yet.
Xuan Yang was filled with questions, but he understood that pressing for answers now would be futile. He could only nod silently. Since the Village Chief chose not to speak, he would refrain from asking, but he would seek answers through his own actions. "Next, what you need to do is unite with the other villages to collectively confront the impending crisis," Lu Zhiyuan continued. "I have already sent people to contact the leaders of the other villages; they will arrive here soon." Uniting with other villages to form an alliance and stand against their enemies was their only way forward.
Xuan Yang felt a surge of determination. He knew that the alliance Lu Zhiyuan spoke of was crucial; only by coming together could they face a stronger foe. Taking a deep breath, he looked resolutely at Lu Zhiyuan and said, "I understand, Village Chief. I will do my utmost to unite the other villages."
Lu Zhiyuan nodded appreciatively and replied, "I believe in you, Xuan Yang." Just then, several figures soared in from the distance, moving as swiftly as lightning and landing in front of the dilapidated temple in an instant.
They were agile and exuded powerful energy; it was clear they were experts. These individuals were the leaders of other villages, all masters of their abilities with extraordinary strength. Some wore tight-fitting attire and wielded sharp blades; others donned robes and held staffs; still others were clad in animal skins and carried longbows, each radiating a unique aura. "Village Chief Lu, we have arrived," boomed one burly leader with a thick beard.
His voice resonated like thunder, causing a ringing in everyone's ears. Lu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Thank you all for coming. Today we will discuss how to unite and confront the impending crisis together." His tone was steady yet carried an undeniable authority. The other leaders nodded in agreement; they understood the gravity of the situation and knew that only by uniting could they stand against a more formidable enemy.
Thus began a serious discussion about the alliance, with a heavy atmosphere enveloping them.
Xuan Yang stood quietly to the side, listening intently to their discussions. He knew he bore significant responsibility and must strive to enhance his strength to live up to everyone's expectations. His gaze was firm, filled with fighting spirit. Suddenly, a powerful evil presence emerged outside the valley like dark clouds looming overhead, shrouding the entire area.
This aura was cold and malevolent, bringing an oppressive feeling that weighed heavily on everyone present. "This is bad; it's remnants of the Shadow Force!" one leader exclaimed in shock and fear.
Everyone's hearts sank as they realized that a great battle was inevitable. They had not anticipated that remnants of the Shadow Force still existed and had arrived so quickly. "Everyone, prepare for battle!" Lu Zhiyuan commanded in a deep voice filled with strength that instilled an inexplicable sense of security.
The leaders drew their weapons in unison, readying themselves for the challenge ahead. The air crackled with tension as blades glinted, staffs shimmered, and arrows were nocked—an atmosphere of impending slaughter permeated the scene.
Xuan Yang also summoned his Shadow Puppet, preparing to fight fiercely against their enemies. Black Shadows surged behind him, transforming into menacing Puppet Masters that let out silent roars. Outside the valley, remnants of the Shadow Force surged forth like a tidal wave, fierce and bloodthirsty.
They were clad in black armor, wielding sharp blades, their faces twisted in a menacing manner, as if they had crawled out of hell.
An intense battle was about to erupt. Could the alliance before the ruined temple withstand this powerful evil force? What fate awaited Xuan Yang?
