Chapter 334: Fire Luck Envoy! The Twins Join Forces
The young man's awakening process suddenly became smooth. The golden light on his body grew increasingly intense, and his connection with the Huo Fenghuang became tighter.
"Quick!" Lin Xuan shouted, "Seize this opportunity!"
However, at this critical moment, a series of rhythmic footsteps suddenly came from the passageway. The Mysterious Organization's reinforcements had arrived, and this time they brought something even more terrifying.
"That is..." Xiao Qing gasped, "An Ancient Artifact?"
Indeed, those Black-Clothed Persons were holding an ancient object crafted from bronze. The surface of the object was covered in mysterious patterns, radiating energy fluctuations that made one's heart palpitate.
"Attack!" the Commander of the Mysterious Organization ordered.
In an instant, the Ancient Artifact was activated, erupting with blinding light. A powerful force instantly enveloped the entire plaza, and even Lin Xuan's Qi Luck Barrier began to tremble.
"Oh no!" Lin Xuan was just about to take action.
"Don't worry." The young man suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of a smile, "I am already prepared."
Before the words had faded, his entire body suddenly erupted with scorching golden light. This golden light carried extreme heat, instantly forcing back the power of the Ancient Artifact.
"Then..." Lin Xuan also revealed a smile, "Let's go together!"
The two Children of Luck suddenly stood back-to-back, coordinating with each other's rhythm in tacit understanding. Lin Xuan's Qi Luck Power and the young man's Flame Power fused perfectly, forming an awe-inspiring offensive and defensive system.
"This is..." The people of the Mysterious Organization all wore expressions of shock.
They clearly had not expected that the power of the two Children of Luck could combine so perfectly. The Cold Poison Power of the Qing Bai Er She and the raging flames of the Huo Fenghuang intertwined, forming an incredible lethal field.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" someone shouted in terror.
However, it was already too late. Both powers erupted simultaneously, like a heavenly thunder striking earthly fire, completely tearing apart the formation of the Mysterious Organization. Even that Ancient Artifact developed cracks under this terrifying impact.
But just at this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly noticed an unusual detail.
"Wait..." He observed the enemies' movements carefully, "What are they doing?"
He saw that in the hands of those injured Black-Clothed Persons, small Dharma Artifacts were flickering constantly. The eerie light blinked on and off, seemingly recording some important data.
"They are collecting information!" Lin Xuan finally realized, "To them, this battle might just be an experiment!"
The young man also discovered this: "Indeed, they know too much about our power, as if they were prepared long ago."
Worse still, Lin Xuan sensed through his Qi Luck that the forces of the Xuanji Pavilion were also beginning to gather on the periphery. Clearly, the alliance of the two Children of Luck had made everyone feel threatened.
"The situation is not good." The young man said softly, "They want to..."
"Join forces to deal with us." Lin Xuan took over the sentence, "Because our combination is too perfect, it has already exceeded their expectations."
Just at this moment, the Huo Fenghuang suddenly let out a sharp cry. It seemed to have sensed something, and its expression became unusually vigilant.
"A more powerful enemy is coming." The young man's expression was grave, "I can feel it..."
"Let's introduce ourselves first." Lin Xuan smiled, "Before a death battle, one should at least know their companion's name."
"Xu Yan." The young man also smiled, "Fire Luck Envoy Xu Yan."
"Lin Xuan."
Two simple names, yet they seemed to carry a certain sense of destiny.
After the battle ended, Lin Xuan finally had the chance to carefully look at this Fire Luck Envoy.
"Li Yan." The young man smiled slightly, "That is my name, although it might not be my real name."
"Not your real name?" Lin Xuan was a bit curious.
Li Yan nodded: "I am an orphan, raised in an orphanage since I was small. The only thing special is..."
He stretched out his hand, and a small flame suddenly danced on his palm: "I was born with the ability to control fire."
This discovery stirred Lin Xuan's heart. He was also an orphan of unknown origin, and he had also displayed unusual abilities since he was small.
"Did you come here because you sensed a summons?" Lin Xuan asked.
"That's right." A trace of reminiscence flashed in Li Yan's eyes, "A month ago, I suddenly felt a mysterious power guiding me. Following this power, I found this Jin Zi Ta."
The Qing Bai Er She suddenly emerged from Lin Xuan's body, emitting a low hiss: "This is definitely no coincidence."
The Huo Fenghuang also nodded, transmitting via telepathy: "Your meeting is an arrangement of fate."
Just as the two were exchanging experiences, Li Yan suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there is one more strange thing."
"What thing?"
"In my earliest memories," Li Yan's expression was serious, "there seems to have always been a mysterious organization protecting me in the shadows. Whenever I encountered danger, there would always be a Mysterious Person appearing in time to help."
This sentence made Lin Xuan tremble all over! Because he had similar experiences. During the years he spent wandering, he indeed had many narrow escapes, and each time there would be a Mysterious Person helping in the shadows.
"Me too!" Lin Xuan said excitedly, "And those people acted very specially; they never showed themselves and never left any traces."
Li Yan's eyes lit up: "Did they all wear green robes?"
"That's right!" Lin Xuan recalled, "I remember once in the deep mountains when I encountered a fierce beast, it was a Green-Robed Person who saved me."
The two compared details carefully and found that the characteristics of that mysterious organization were shockingly similar. Whether it was their style of action or their attire, it all seemed to come from the same source.
"This organization..." the Qing Bai Er She said thoughtfully, "is very likely the Secret Stakes left behind by the Ancient Guardians."
"Secret Stakes?" the two asked simultaneously.
However, before the Qing Bai Er She could explain, a sudden change occurred!
"Boom!"
The entire interior of the Jin Zi Ta suddenly began to shake. Countless ancient Runes emerged from the walls, radiating dazzling light. These Runes flowed rapidly in the air, and soon formed a huge projection in the center of the plaza.
"This is..." Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
The projection displayed an ancient scene: twelve powerful figures in magnificent robes were discussing matters in a grand hall. Each of them had a divine creature beside them, which were none other than various Guardian Spirit Beasts!
"It is the assembly of the Ancient Guardians!" the Qing Bai Er She exclaimed.
The image continued to play: the Guardians seemed to have foreseen something terrifying, and their expressions all became grave.
"The End of Dharma Era is about to arrive..." the voice of one of the Guardians came through time and space, "The laws of heaven and earth will enter a slumber, and all power will decline."
"We must leave hope for future generations." another Guardian said.
"But direct inheritance is too dangerous." a third Guardian warned, "The awakening process must be gradual."
Thus, they devised a meticulous plan: to scatter the reincarnated Children of Luck across every corner of the world, protected by an organization of hidden guardians, and to have them awaken one by one when the time was right.
