Lee Xian, Cultivator of Guyon

The Guardian of the Mountains

They stepped deeper into the underground labyrinth, guided by the Guardian of the Mountains who guided them through the dark and narrow passageways. The atmosphere inside the labyrinth was dark and sinister, with rustling and tumultuous voices echoing on the stone walls. They felt as if they were walking into the dark and mysterious bowels of the earth.

"Guard of vigilance, friends," said Lu Chen, the White Sand chief, "We don't know what we might encounter inside here."

They continued on their way, following the clues provided by the Guardian of the Mountains. They had to pass through various traps and traps scattered along the passageway. The walls of the labyrinth were adorned with ancient emblems and strange images, making them even more curious about the origin of this place.

As they explore the maze deepening, their conversation shifts to a more personal topic. Xian asked Lu Chen about his experience as a cultivator who had been exploring the world for decades.

Lu Chen smiled at Xian's curiosity. "I've seen a lot of things during my travels" he said. "I have met many different kinds of beings, both good and evil. And I have also discovered many unexplained wonders of nature."

Thio Ling added, "For those of us who are still relatively young in the cultivation world, your experience is invaluable. We want to learn as much as possible from you."

Lu Chen was honored by their words. "Cultivation is a long and difficult journey" he said. "But if you have determination and dedication, you will become stronger every day."

As they continued walking, they suddenly heard the sound of heavy steps approaching. They immediately prepared for the battle, but the moment the apparition appeared from the corner of the passageway, they felt shocked.

A tall and muscular man appeared, he was wearing worn-out-looking clothes and was armed with a sword that exuded powerful spiritual energy. He looked at them with a sharp gaze, and his grated face gave the impression that he was an experienced warrior.

"Who are you?" ask her in a calm but firm voice.

Lu Chen replied calmly, "We are cultivators who are looking for the Dragon Stone. We don't mean to look for trouble."

The man nodded, and the tense atmosphere slightly eased. "I am Jiang Feng" he said. "I've been exploring this labyrinth for years. I know the lines well."

They soon realized that Jiang Feng could be a valuable asset in their quest. He agreed to join them and guide them through this labyrinth. With his experience, they felt increasingly confident that they would successfully find the Dragon Stone.

As they continued on their way, they gained valuable insights from Jiang Feng about the traps and dangers present within the labyrinth. He also shares interesting stories about his adventures in it, which makes their journey even more interesting.

As they explore the deepening passageway, they discover that the labyrinth is getting more complicated and dangerous. They had to get through increasingly dangerous traps, and the tension grew in the air.

Suddenly, they reached a large room filled with ancient paintings and reliefs depicting ancient history. In the middle of the room, they saw something that left them dumbfounded.

The Dragon Stone itself was located on top of a stone altar, shining with a dazzling blue light. The stone looked so strong and beautiful, making them feel astonished.

"We found him!" mei said happily.

However, before they could get close to the Dragon Stone, they heard a ferocious laughing sound. They turned around and saw a tall man in dark clothes and sharp glittering eyes.

They realized that they were not alone in this room. And a thrilling battle begins.

The tall man in dark clothes faced them with a disdainful smile, while the Dragon Stone shone behind him. They soon realized that they would face a fierce battle to reclaim the Dragon Stone.

"No one will hand over the Dragon Stone just like that," Lu Chen said in a stern voice. "We'll fight to defend it."

Jiang Feng, who was also prepared to fight, added, "We won't just back down, new owner. We have fought hard to get here, and we will not let the Dragon Stone fall into your hands."

The man laughed in a disdainful tone, and in an instant, he slid forward with incredible speed. He was a tough opponent, with quick and precise attacks. The battle proceeded quickly, with attacks of spiritual energy filling the room.

Xian, Mei, and Thio Ling joined the battle, launching their attacks with strong determination. Jiang Feng also played an important role in battle, with his outstanding skill in swordsmanship.

However, the dark-clothed man turned out to be stronger than they thought. He easily dodged their attacks and even managed to cause injuries to Thio Ling. The longer the battle went on, the more it felt that they might not be able to defeat him on their own.

But when the situation seemed bleak, an unexpected surprise occurred. From a dark corner of the room, a young woman appeared, with a confident smile. He was wearing beautiful clothes and holding a sword that shone with powerful spiritual energy.

"Should you help?" ask him calmly.

The dark-clothed man was shocked to see the arrival of this young lady, and it provided a precious opportunity for Mei, Xian, Thio Ling, Lu Chen, and Jiang Feng to launch a joint attack. They cooperated perfectly, taking control of the battle and forcing the dark-clothed man to retreat.

The young lady then took a position between them, facing the dark-clothed man in a calm demeanor. "We will guard this Dragon Stone," he said firmly.

The man snorted clearly feeling threatened. "You may win this time, but it's not over yet."

Quickly, he disappeared in the shadow, leaving the room. They all breathed a sigh of relief that they managed to defend the Dragon Stone, but the battle left them with questions about who the dark-clothed man was and why he was so ambitious to obtain the Dragon Stone.

After the battle, they all felt tired and injured. Thio Ling walked towards the Dragon Stone and gently touched it, feeling the spiritual energy flowing from it.

"We have succeeded" he said with a relieved smile. "We have found the Dragon Stone."

Mei nodded in agreement, and Xian added, "But the question is now, what should we do with this Dragon Stone? And who was that young lady? Where'd he come from?"

Lu Chen said, "We must bring this Dragon Stone back to the Guyon school. They'll know what we have to do next."

They all agreed, and with excited hearts, they began the journey back through this intricate labyrinth. They knew that even though the battle had ended in victory, their adventure was not finished yet. There were many mysteries to solve, and many dangers to be faced in this cultivation world.
