The fairy love story between Bi Yao and Li Yuan after traveling through time

Chapter 195: The Holy Talisman Appears, and the Crisis Arrives

"It seems to be warning us." Bi Yao's voice was low, with a barely perceptible tremor.

She felt a cool touch on her fingertips, and the symbol pulsated slightly under her fingers as if it were alive.

Li Yuan withdrew his hand, paced back and forth, and rubbed his eyebrows anxiously.

"I've never seen such a symbol, and there's no record of it in the classics." He scratched his hair irritably, his usually cheerful face full of worry.

The two returned to the library, and the vast sea of ​​books looked particularly mysterious under the dim candlelight.

Bi Yao's slender fingers brushed across the scrolls. Each ancient book bore the traces of time, yet failed to give them the answers they wanted.

Li Yuan kept flipping through various atlases, muttering to himself, trying to find a clue from the ancient patterns.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sound of turning pages was particularly clear in the silent library, like a knock on their hearts, bringing waves of anxiety.

They traveled to every corner of the Xianxia world and visited countless respected predecessors.

Some shook their heads and sighed, saying that they had never seen such strange symbols; others were vague and only said that the matter was of great importance and asked them to fend for themselves.

Instead of resolving their doubts, these ambiguous answers made them even more uneasy.

As night falls, the stars twinkle in the sky, but they cannot illuminate the haze in their hearts.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan sat side by side on the top of the mountain, looking at the dimly lit town in the distance, silent.

The days of running around made them physically and mentally exhausted, but they dared not let their guard down at all.

The strange symbol on the holy object was like a sword hanging over their heads, and no one knew when it would fall.

A cool breeze blew by, and Bi Yao couldn't help but shiver. She raised her head and looked at Li Yuan's tired face, and a wave of sadness surged in her heart.

"Maybe..." Bi Yao hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Perhaps, we can try..." She paused, with a hint of determination in her tone, "some...unconventional methods."

Bi Yao took a deep breath and said firmly, "I know this is risky, but we can't just sit there and wait for death. There's no answer in the ancient books, and our predecessors are also helpless. We can only find another way!" Her slender fingers were clenched tightly, her knuckles turned white, and a determined light flashed in her eyes.

"What do you want to do?" Li Yuan frowned, a hint of worry in his tone, "Those unproven methods may bring unpredictable consequences and even put us in a greater crisis." His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of fatigue, but it could not hide his inner anxiety.

"I know, but we have no choice!" Bi Yao's voice rose a few degrees, with a barely perceptible tremor in her tone.

She understood Li Yuan's worries, but the uneasiness in her heart made her unable to calm down.

"What if..." Li Yuan wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Bi Yao, "There is no what if! Instead of sitting and waiting for death, we might as well give it a try! We have wasted too much time, we must act now!"

The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became tense, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The originally dim candlelight in the library seemed to flicker even more, illuminating the tense faces of the two people.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan were at loggerheads, neither of them willing to give in.

Their voices echoed in the quiet space, like sharp blades, cutting through the original tranquility.

"Wait!" Bi Yao suddenly had an idea, and the cryptography knowledge he had studied emerged in his mind.

She suddenly grabbed Li Yuan's arm and said hurriedly: "Password! We can decipher it as a code!" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then "You mean... using the knowledge from your world?" he asked hesitantly.

Bi Yao nodded vigorously, her eyes full of excitement: "Yes! Let's try it!"

She quickly took out a pen and paper from her storage bag and carefully traced the symbols on the sacred object.

Then, based on the principles of modern cryptography, she began to analyze and decipher these symbols.

Li Yuan watched her quietly from the side. Time passed minute by minute. The library was silent except for the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper and Bi Yao's occasional whisper.

Suddenly, Bi Yao stopped writing and looked up, "I... seem to have solved it..." Her tone was filled with a hint of disbelief, yet also excitement.

She handed the deciphered information to Li Yuan. Li Yuan took it and looked at it, and his face instantly became solemn.

"This..." He tightly grasped the note in his hand, his eyes fixed on Bi Yao, and said in a complicated tone, "Yao'er..."

Li Yuan excitedly hugged Bi Yao tightly in his arms, his heartbeat shaking his chest like a drum.

The love in his eyes was as bright as the stars, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Yao'er, you are so great!" Bi Yao leaned in his warm arms, feeling his strong heartbeat, and a sweet warmth flowed through her body.

The dim candlelight in the library illuminated the figures of the two people hugging each other, and the air was filled with a warm atmosphere.

However, this moment of tranquility was soon broken.

A cold wind blew in, blowing out the flickering candlelight in the library, and the library was instantly plunged into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, several black shadows emerged from the darkness like ghosts and surrounded Bi Yao and Li Yuan.

A strong murderous aura instantly spread out, making people shudder.

"Who is it?!" Li Yuan shouted sternly, protecting Bi Yao behind him, with spiritual power surging in his hands, ready to fight at any time.

A sinister laugh was heard in the darkness, making people shudder.

"Hand over the holy object and I will spare your lives!" A cold voice came from under the black robe, with unquestionable majesty.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan immediately understood that these mysterious men in black robes came for the holy objects.

Without hesitation, they released their powerful spiritual power and engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black robes.

The library was suddenly filled with light, and the shock wave generated by the collision of spiritual power shattered the surrounding bookshelves, and fragments of ancient books flew like snowflakes.

The black-robed man's attack methods were strange and unpredictable, and every move was deadly.

Although Bi Yao and Li Yuan were powerful, they were still overwhelmed.

Bi Yao dodged a black blade and felt a burning sensation on her cheek. She reached out and touched it, and her fingertips were stained with a trace of blood.

Li Yuan's situation was not optimistic either. He was hit in the chest by a black shadow. He groaned and took several steps back.

During the fierce battle, Bi Yao keenly noticed that the men in black robes did not seem to be in a hurry to kill them. They had only one goal - to seize the holy relic!

"Who are they? Why did they take the holy object?" Bi Yao was full of doubts.

"Yao'er, be careful!" Li Yuan exclaimed and pulled Bi Yao back from the edge of danger.

A man in black robe took the opportunity to approach and stabbed Bi Yao's throat with the sharp blade in his hand.

At the critical moment, Li Yuan stood in front of Bi Yao, and the sharp blade pierced his shoulder, and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.

"Li Yuan!" Bi Yao exclaimed, her eyes instantly red.

She supported Li Yuan's shaking body, her heart filled with worry and self-blame.

Li Yuan endured the severe pain and smiled at her: "I'm fine..."

"The holy object...can't fall into their hands..." Li Yuan said weakly, his eyes fixed on the approaching man in black robe, holding a jade pendant tightly in his hand. The jade pendant emitted a faint light and was a part of the holy object.

He stuffed the jade pendant into Bi Yao's hand, "Yao'er... hurry up..."

Bi Yao held the jade pendant tightly, feeling the warmth coming from it, tears blurred her eyes.

"No, let's go together!"

The man in black robes approached step by step, and his sinister laughter echoed in the library, like a call from hell.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" He stretched out his hand, and the black spiritual power wrapped around Bi Yao and Li Yuan like a poisonous snake, binding them tightly.

"Li Yuan, give me the jade pendant!" The man in black robe spoke in a cold tone with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand tightly, his eyes firm, without any intention of retreating.

"Don't think about it!"

A cold glint flashed in the black-robed man's eyes. "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink for it!" He raised the sharp blade in his hand and pointed it at Li Yuan's heart. "Then don't blame me for being rude!"

The blade is about to fall...
