Chapter 1000 Recovery or Destruction

Zhao Aimin bowed and expressed their wishes. "We have received the mission to find the sealed artifact and maintain the balance of the earth. We are willing to obey the orders of Night Walker and complete this mission."

Nightwalker nodded slightly and looked at everyone deeply. "Your determination is commendable. And this task is indeed very important, involving the balance of the entire land. The place where the artifact is sealed is full of dangers, but I believe you can overcome it."

After saying that, Night Walker took out an ancient jade pendant from behind, similar to the one he picked up before, with his mark inlaid on it.He handed the jade pendant to Zhao Aimin and said in a solemn tone: "Wear this jade pendant, it will be your amulet, protecting you from evil. Go ahead, complete this mission, and maintain the balance of the earth."

Holding the jade pendant given by Night Walker, everyone embarked on an intense and mysterious journey outside the temple.Under the starlight, the land of Night Walker looks peaceful and mysterious.The leaves rustle in the breeze, as if legends from ancient times are flowing in this land.

Zhao Aimin stroked the jade pendant, feeling the strange power in it, and then looked up at the crowd. "We first need to know where this artifact is sealed and its owner before we can start taking action. Does anyone have any clues?"

Wei Fei thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something. "At the entrance of the temple, I felt a weak energy fluctuation. Perhaps I can use this energy to find the sealing location."

Liu Ting nodded in agreement, her swords hanging on her waist and her eyes firm. "Let's investigate near the entrance of the temple first and see if we can find any clues."

The group returned to the entrance of the temple. Wei Fei put his hand on the wall of the temple and concentrated on sensing the weak energy fluctuations.As he concentrated, his brows gradually furrowed and his expression became serious.

"What did you find?" Zhao Aimin asked.

Wei Fei spoke slowly: "This energy does not come from inside the temple, but radiates from the ground below the temple. Maybe the sealed place is under this land, and we need to find the entrance to the underground."

Liu Ting stirred up her two swords, her eyes flashing with sharp light. "Then we have to explore underneath this land. Maybe there are some mechanisms or clues that can lead us to the entrance."

Everyone worked together and began to search for clues around the temple.Zhao Aimin discovered a faint crack on the ground, while Wei Fei discovered a shimmering rune on the wall.

"These runes may be the entrance to the underground. Let's concentrate our efforts and see if we can activate it." Wei Fei suggested.

Everyone stood around the rune in tacit understanding. Zhao Aimin pressed his hand on the wall and shouted in a deep voice: "The power of the Night Walker Land, activate the entrance!"

Suddenly, the runes on the wall shimmered, and a faint light emerged from the cracks in the ground.The crack gradually widened, revealing a staircase leading deep underground.

"It seems we have found the right one. Go in and be careful." Liu Ting took the lead in stepping into the underground passage, followed closely by the others.

Going deeper along the passage, everyone felt an ancient atmosphere permeating the air, as if there were ancient secrets hidden deep in the passage.The fog gradually dissipated, and they came to an underground space.

This space is vast and mysterious, surrounded by spaces supported by ancient stone pillars, and the ground is covered with ancient dust.Zhao Aimin looked around, his heart filled with awe.Suddenly, an old lady walked slowly from the corner, leaning on a skinny cane.

The old lady smiled, but her smile seemed a little weird.Her clothes are ancient, as if they have traveled through time.Liu Ting held the two swords in her hands alertly and asked, "Who are you? We are here to pursue a lost artifact."

The old lady's eyes fell on them, and her smile became even weirder. "Lost artifact? Haha, you guys are so funny."

Wei Fei frowned, feeling that there was an indescribable strange atmosphere about the old lady. "You know something? We need to find the artifact and maintain the balance of the earth."

The corners of the old lady's mouth raised slightly, and the smile in her eyes deepened. "The balance of the earth? Does the power of the artifact restore the balance or break it?"

Zhao Aimin's face was solemn, and he could feel the unusualness in the old lady's words. "you mean?"

The old lady walked slowly to them on crutches. "The power of this artifact, whether it revives or destroys it, depends on the mind of the holder. I can tell you the sealing location of the artifact, but you must remember that the abuse of power will lead to disaster."

Everyone fell into deep thought, and Wei Fei asked: "Then why didn't you stop us?"

The corners of the old lady's mouth curled up slightly, and the smile in her eyes became even weirder. "Some things are destined to be unstoppable. And, because you are so persistent, it may bring about some interesting changes."

After saying that, the old lady suddenly disappeared into the air like a breeze.Everyone watched her disappearance in stunned silence, and their hearts were full of questions.

"Who is she? What do she mean?" Liu Ting asked doubtfully.

The deeper the passage, the more ancient and mysterious the atmosphere becomes.Zhao Aimin and others walked through the winding passages and felt waves of weak pulses coming from deep underground, like the heartbeat of the earth.

Suddenly, a dark hole appeared in front of the passage.Everyone walked in cautiously, and their eyes suddenly opened up. They came to a spacious underground space.

This space exudes an ancient atmosphere.There are several stone tablets scattered on the ground, which are covered with mysterious runes.In the center of the space, there is a huge jade box placed on a mysterious altar, which emits a faint light.

"It seems that this is the sealing location of the artifact." Wei Fei stared at the altar with light shining in his eyes.

Liu Ting clenched the two knives in her hands and scanned the surroundings keenly.She suddenly felt a breath hidden in the shadows, and a mysterious assassin quietly appeared in a corner of the space.

The assassin's face was shrouded in darkness, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes, cold and sharp.He slowly walked towards the crowd, his voice cold and deep: "Are you here for the artifact?"

Zhao Aimin stood in front of everyone, his eyes firm. "Our purpose is to protect the balance of the earth. Who are you?"

The assassin smiled with a hint of sarcasm. "I am the guardian of this land, and you are just outsiders. Only I can truly control the power of the artifact."

Liu Ting held the two swords tightly and said vigilantly: "We are not here to be your enemy, we are just performing tasks. If you are willing, we can protect the balance of this land together."
