Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 225 The Mysterious Letter Reveals the Initial Scenes

The crisis at the mine was temporarily averted, but a tense atmosphere still lingered within the Qingyun Sect. Zhang Peng had barely returned to the sect and, before he could even catch his breath, plunged headlong into the investigation of the mysterious force. He carefully reviewed the clues he had previously gathered, attempting to find a new breakthrough from the scattered information.

Suddenly, a disciple rushed in, holding a letter in his hand: "Patriarch, this was just left at the sect gate by someone, without a signature."

Zhang Peng took the letter, his brow furrowing slightly. He carefully opened the envelope and unfolded the letter, which read: "To learn the truth about the mysterious force, go alone to Black Wind Ridge tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM). If you dare to bring anyone with you, you will bear the consequences." Zhang Peng's eyes sharpened instantly. He realized that this was likely a trap, but perhaps also an excellent opportunity to unveil the mystery of the force.

That evening, Zhang Peng told Wang Yongli and Xia Lijuan about the matter. Upon hearing this, Wang Yongli immediately objected, saying, "Master, this is clearly a trap. Black Wind Ridge has a complex terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. They chose to meet there, so there must be a conspiracy. You cannot go."

Xia Lijuan also looked worried: "Zhang Peng, Yongli is right, this is too dangerous, we can't let you put yourself in danger."

Zhang Peng pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I understand the danger involved, but this may be our only chance to directly contact the people behind the scenes. These mysterious forces have always been hiding in the shadows. If we don't take the initiative to find their weaknesses, the cultivation world will never have peace."

Seeing that Zhang Peng was determined, Wang Yongli and Xia Lijuan stopped trying to dissuade him, but suggested that they secretly meet him near Black Wind Ridge, just in case. After thinking it over, Zhang Peng nodded in agreement.

The next morning, Zhang Peng headed alone towards Black Wind Ridge. Black Wind Ridge was perpetually shrouded in black mist, eerie and terrifying, with the occasional roar of wild beasts echoing through the air. As soon as Zhang Peng stepped into Black Wind Ridge, he sensed a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy. He immediately became alert, activating the Chaos Spiritual Technique, ready to deal with any possible attack.

"Hahahaha, Zhang Peng, you really came." A wild laugh came from the mist, and then a tall man slowly walked out. His eyes were cold and his face had a mocking smile. It was Ai Yuhang.

"So you're the one behind it all?" Zhang Peng looked at him coldly, without a trace of fear in his eyes.

Ai Yuhang shook his head slightly: "I'm just a nobody, only acting under orders from above. But now that you're here, don't even think about leaving alive."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ai Yuhang waved his hand sharply, and the surrounding mist instantly became even thicker. A group of dark figures surged in from all directions, surrounding Zhang Peng completely. Upon closer inspection, Zhang Peng realized that these dark figures were all powerful cultivators, exuding an evil aura, clearly indicating that they were in league with Ai Yuhang.

"Zhang Peng, today is your death day!" Ai Yuhang shouted, launching the first attack. He cast a strange spell, and a black longsword appeared in his hand, its blade shimmering with an eerie light, as he thrust it towards Zhang Peng.

Zhang Peng dodged the attack with a swift movement. He unleashed the Chaos Spirit Technique, and five-colored spiritual energy gathered in his hand to form a five-colored longsword, which collided with Ai Yuhang's black longsword, producing a loud bang.

The two exchanged blows, their battle fierce. Ai Yuhang's strength was indeed formidable; his spells were unpredictable and varied, making it difficult for Zhang Peng to find an opening. Meanwhile, the surrounding cultivators continued to launch attacks, attempting to disrupt Zhang Peng's efforts.

Just as Zhang Peng was locked in a fierce battle, shouts of battle suddenly erupted from outside Black Wind Ridge. It turned out that Wang Yongli and Xia Lijuan had arrived with disciples of the Qingyun Sect. They unleashed their respective spells and engaged in a fierce battle with Ai Yuhang's men.

"Damn it, you dare to bring people here!" Ai Yuhang's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. He panicked and his attacks became somewhat chaotic.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Peng unleashed the killing move of the Chaos Spirit Technique. A five-colored light, carrying immense power, struck Ai Yuhang in the chest. Ai Yuhang let out a scream, his body flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.
