Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

“Humph, it seems you have some skills.” The old man in black robe sneered, “However, this ability alone is far from enough!”

After that, he swung the black sword again, launching a more fierce attack on the three women. Each sword contained a great deal of true energy and poison.

The three women did not dare to slack off, and quickly circulated their true energy to confront the black-robed old man. Li Wenjing danced with his sword like flying, defusing the black-robed old man's attacks one by one; the other two female disciples attacked from both sides, trying to distract him.

Taoist Xuanzhen also joined the battle, brandishing his sword and fighting fiercely with the old man in black robe. For a moment, the sword light flashed, the sword energy was everywhere, and the whole space was shrouded in the battle between the two.

Although the black-robed old man was very powerful, he gradually felt powerless in the face of the joint attack of Taoist Xuanzhen and the three girls. He knew that he could not delay any longer and had to get rid of the three little girls as soon as possible so that he could concentrate on dealing with Taoist Xuanzhen.

So, he suddenly urged his true energy to inject more powerful power into the black sword. Then he swung the sword and slashed at the three women. A black sword energy cut through the sky and went straight to the three women.

The three women were shocked when they saw this. They knew that this sword was extremely powerful and they had to use all their strength to resist it. So, the three of them simultaneously urged their true energy and swung their long swords to the extreme, facing the black sword energy.

With a loud bang, the black sword energy collided with the three women's swords, and a strong energy fluctuation erupted. The three women only felt a huge force coming, and their bodies involuntarily retreated.

At this moment, the old man in black robe flashed and appeared behind the three women, with the black sword already on Li Wenjing's neck.

"Stop!" Taoist Xuanzhen was shocked when he saw this and stopped immediately, fearing that the old man in black robe would hurt the three women.

"Haha, Taoist Xuanzhen, you lose!" The black-robed old man laughed triumphantly, "These three little girls belong to me!"

After saying that, he wanted to take the three women away. However, just as he turned around, a sharp sword energy suddenly attacked from behind, going straight to his vital point.

The old man in black robe was startled and quickly turned around and swung his sword to block. However, the sword energy was so fast that he had no time to react before being hit in the chest.

With a "puff" sound, the old man in black robe spat out a mouthful of blood, his body was blown away by the sword energy and hit the mountain wall in the distance.

"Master!" The three women exclaimed and hurried to Taoist Xuanzhen to check his injuries.

It turned out that the sword energy was emitted by Taoist Xuan Zhen. At the moment when the black-robed old man held the three women hostage, he had secretly gathered the sword energy and prepared to launch a surprise attack on the black-robed old man. Sure enough, this move worked, and the black-robed old man was hit by the sword energy and was seriously injured.

"Master, are you okay?" Li Wenjing asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Taoist Xuanzhen shook his head, "Go and see if the villain is dead."

Upon hearing this, the three women immediately ran to the black-robed old man to check on him. They saw him lying on the ground, unable to move, with a bloody hole in his chest bleeding profusely.

"Master, he is not dead yet!" said a female disciple.

Taoist Priest Xuan Zhen came over to check the black-robed old man's injuries, and then said: "Although he is seriously injured, he will not die for the time being. Tie him up first and take him back for interrogation."

So, the three women and Taoist Xuanzhen tied up the old man in black robe and brought him back to the Taoist temple.

After returning to the Taoist temple, Taoist Xuanzhen immediately began to interrogate the old man in black robe. However, the old man in black robe was very stubborn, and no matter how Taoist Xuanzhen pressed him, he refused to reveal any information about the Black Evil Sect.

Taoist Xuanzhen was not in a hurry, as he knew that dealing with such a villain would take patience and time. So he ordered his men to lock the old man in black robe into a secret room and sent people to guard him day and night to prevent him from escaping or committing suicide.

After the old man in black robe was locked in the secret room, Taoist Xuanzhen did not leave immediately, but stood outside the door with his hands behind his back and a frown on his face.

He knew clearly that the old man in black robe was definitely not an ordinary member of the sect. He must be an important figure in the Black Evil Sect since he was able to sneak into this place and attempt to abduct the three women.

If we want to completely eradicate the Black Evil Sect, the identity of the old man in black robe and the information he knows will be the key clues.

"Master, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Xuan Zhendao standing still for a long time, Li Wenjing walked up and asked softly.

Taoist Priest Xuanzhen turned around and looked at Li Wenjing, a trace of worry in his eyes: "I am thinking about the identity of the old man in black robe. He is definitely not an ordinary member of the sect, and he must hold an important position in the Black Evil Sect. If we can learn more secrets of the Black Evil Sect from him, we may be able to eradicate it in one fell swoop."

Li Wenjing heard this, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Master, we will definitely make him speak. No matter how hard he talks, we will not give up."

Taoist Xuanzhen nodded and looked at the other two female disciples, who also showed a firm expression. He felt relieved, knowing that these three disciples were talented and capable.

In the following days, Taoist Xuanzhen was in charge of interrogating the old man in black robes. He sometimes asked harsh questions and sometimes gently guided him, but the old man in black robes always kept his mouth shut and refused to reveal any information.

One night, Taoist Xuanzhen came to the secret room again. He stood at the door and peeked inside through the crack. He saw an old man in a black robe sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he was oblivious to everything in the outside world.

Taoist Xuanzhen gently pushed open the door and walked in slowly. The old man in black robe heard the sound, opened his eyes, and a hint of alertness flashed across his eyes.

"Black Robe, do you really think that if you remain silent, I won't be able to uncover your true identity?" Taoist Xuan Zhen said in a cold tone.

The old man in black robe sneered: "Master Xuanzhen, you can go ahead and check. I, Black Robe, am just an insignificant little character in the Black Evil Sect. What can you find out?"

Taoist Xuanzhen was moved when he heard this. He carefully looked at the old man in black robe. Although his face was sinister, there was a hint of unnoticeable sadness in his eyes. This made Taoist Xuanzhen come up with a bold guess.

"Black robe, if you are really an unknown person, how could you personally kidnap my disciple? You must have some plan. Moreover, I sense a strange aura in you, which is definitely not possessed by ordinary followers." Taoist Xuanzhen said slowly. After hearing this, the black robed old man's eyes flashed with surprise. He had never expected that Taoist Xuanzhen's perception was so sharp that he could actually see the unusualness in him.

"You...you are talking nonsense!" the old man in black robe retorted in panic.

Taoist Xuan Zhen was more certain of his guess when he saw this. He continued, "Black Robe, if you are willing to confess your true identity and the information you know, I may be able to spare your life. Otherwise, once I find out your background, I will make you live a life worse than death!"

When the old man in black robe heard this, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Master Xuanzhen, you... do you really want to know my identity?"

Taoist Xuanzhen nodded: "Of course, your identity may be the key clue for us to eradicate the Black Evil Sect."

The old man in black robe took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind. He said slowly: "I... I am actually the right protector of the Black Demon Sect..."

Taoist Xuanzhen was shocked when he heard this. He had never expected that this old man in black robes was actually the right protector of the Black Demon Sect. This was indeed an extremely important clue.

"Since you are the Right Protector, why did you come here personally to kidnap my disciple?" Taoist Xuanzhen asked.

The old man in black robe smiled bitterly: "This is because... I was forced to do this. The leader of the Black Evil Sect gave me a death order, asking me to capture the three female disciples of your Taoist temple. He said that these three female disciples were hiding some secrets that were necessary for him to practice his skills."

After hearing this, Taoist Xuanzhen was filled with anger. He had never expected that the leader of the Black Evil Sect would be so despicable and would do anything to practice his skills.

"So what secret does the leader want to get from these three women?" Taoist Xuanzhen continued to ask.

The old man in black robe shook his head: "I don't know. The leader never revealed the specific secret. He just said that these three female disciples have special physiques and are suitable for his practice."

Taoist Xuanzhen frowned upon hearing this, and a trace of doubt and contemplation flashed in his eyes. He paced slowly, and the dim candlelight in the room cast mottled light and shadows on his face, making his expression look even more profound.

The old man in black robes huddled in the corner, his body trembling slightly, as if struggling in fear. He looked up at Taoist Xuan Zhen, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including fear of the unknown and a desire to survive.

"As the right guardian of the Black Evil Sect, you should know a lot of the sect's secrets." Taoist Priest Xuanzhen stopped and stared at the old man in black robes with a sharp gaze. "Tell me, what is the Black Evil Sect planning? Who is their leader?"

The black-robed old man's face changed when he heard this, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he raised his head, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"The leader of the Black Evil Sect is an extremely mysterious and cruel person." The old man in black robe spoke slowly, his voice trembling slightly, "He practices an extremely evil technique that requires him to constantly absorb the essence of others to improve his own cultivation. And what he covets is the special physiques of the three female disciples in your Taoist temple."

Taoist Xuanzhen was shocked when he heard this. He had never expected that the leader of the Black Evil Sect would be so evil that he would not hesitate to hurt innocent people in order to practice his skills. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and a strong indignation surged in his heart.

"What is the leader planning?" Taoist Xuanzhen asked again.

The old man in black robe took a deep breath, as if recalling the past events that he didn't want to mention. He slowly said: "The leader has been looking for a way to break through the limit of cultivation. He believes that as long as he absorbs enough essence, he can reach a new realm. And the three female disciples of your Taoist temple are the key to his realization of this goal."

When Taoist Xuanzhen heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He understood that what the old man in black robe said about "absorbing essence" was actually taking someone's life. The leader of the Black Evil Sect was willing to sacrifice the lives of others in order to practice his skills. This behavior was simply outrageous.

"Where is the leader now?" Taoist Xuanzhen asked in a deep voice.

The old man in black robe shook his head: "I don't know. The leader's whereabouts have always been mysterious, and only his close associates know. Moreover, the leader's practice is extremely special. He can conceal his breath and whereabouts, making it impossible for people to detect."

Taoist Xuanzhen frowned upon hearing this. He knew that in order to eradicate the Black Evil Sect, he must first find the leader and defeat him. But now it seems that this task is extremely difficult.

The old man in black robe looked at the expression of Taoist Xuanzhen, and he could not help but feel a little nervous. He knew that his life and death were now in the hands of Taoist Xuanzhen. He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and said: "Master Xuanzhen, I am willing to help you eradicate the Black Evil Sect. As long as you can save my life, I am willing to tell you everything I know."

Taoist Xuanzhen heard this, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He looked at the old man in black robe, weighing the pros and cons in his heart. He knew that although the old man in black robe was a villain, he had become the key clue for them to eradicate the Black Evil Sect. Moreover, he could also feel a hint of sincere regret from the tone of the old man in black robe.

Finally, Taoist Xuan Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, I can spare your life temporarily. But you must go all out to help us eradicate the Black Evil Sect. Otherwise, if I find out that you have done anything wrong, I will never let you off easily."

Upon hearing this, the old man in black robe nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes. I will do my best to cooperate."

The old man in black robe was worried under the gaze of Taoist Xuanzhen. He knew that although he had escaped death temporarily, his future fate was still hanging by a thread. However, when he thought of having the opportunity to make up for the past and contribute to the elimination of the Black Evil Sect, he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.

Taoist Xuanzhen looked at the old man in black robes with mixed emotions in his eyes. He knew very well that this former villain had now become the key to their fight against the Black Evil Sect. He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound steady and resolute: "From now on, you will rest and recuperate in the Taoist temple. I will arrange for someone to take care of you, but you must also abide by the Taoist rules and not act arbitrarily."

The old man in black robe nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes. I will definitely abide by the rules of Taoism and will never act rashly."

Taoist Priest Xuan Zhen nodded slightly, turned around and instructed the disciple beside him: "Li Wenjing, you are responsible for taking care of this old man in black robe. If he needs anything, try to satisfy him. But you must also stay vigilant at all times to prevent him from having any ill intentions."

Upon hearing this, Li Wenjing immediately responded, "Yes, Master. I will take good care of you and be careful."

The old man in black robe was placed in a remote wing to recuperate. Although the room was simple, it was very quiet. Li Wenjing brought him meals and medicine on time every day, and occasionally chatted with him. The old man in black robe was still on guard at first, but as time went by, he was gradually moved by Li Wenjing's sincerity and kindness.

As the days passed, the old man in black robe gradually recovered from his injuries. He also began to actively communicate with Li Wenjing and share some information about the Black Evil Sect. Li Wenjing carefully recorded the information and passed it on to Taoist Xuanzhen. Based on the information, Taoist Xuanzhen gradually found out the details of the Black Evil Sect and formulated a more detailed action plan.

However, just as they were about to take action, a shocking piece of news suddenly came - the leader of the Black Evil Cult actually came to the Taoist temple in person to provoke! (End of this chapter)
