Chapter 28: Escape from the Dark Valley
---
(The blue flames around Xilia still flicker fiercely. She pants heavily, fear flashing in her eyes. Beside her, Xiao Feng and Gu Tang are breathing hard, ready to move.)
đ Xiao Feng (loud and determined):
â "Xilia, stay strong! I promise to protect you, even if the whole world turns against us."
đ Gu Tang (studying carefully):
â "This isn't the place to fight. We have to run. They outnumber us."
đ± Xilia (her voice still weak but resolute):
â "I can't hide anymore... I have to reclaim my powers before it's too late."
---
(The sound of approaching enemies grows louder, shadows emerging from the swirling fog. The group moves toward the darkest corner of the valley.)
đ§ Lu Zhen (worried):
â "They're getting closer. We need to decide."
đ Xiao Feng:
â "We take this narrow path. They won't dare follow us here."
---
(They rush through the dangerous, narrow trail. Every step risks a fall, every moment could mean death.)
đ Xiao Feng (thinking):
> "I have to become stronger. Xilia isn't just the key â she's everything."
---
(Suddenly, the ground shakes. Huge boulders start crashing down the valley.)
đ„ The sound of falling rocks and dust fills the air.
đ± Xilia (shouts):
â "Watch out!"
---
(The rocks block the pursuers' path, forcing some to retreat.)
đ Gu Tang (smirking):
â "Good. We just bought ourselves some time."
---
(The group moves deeper into the darkness until they reach a cave said to be home to a great sage.)
đ§ Lu Zhen:
â "Here, we can rest and plan our next move."
đ Xiao Feng (confident):
â "This is just the beginning."
---
(The sun sets, long shadows stretch across the valley, swallowed by the night. But their will burns brighter than ever.)
