Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Ye Ling'er asked softly, with a hint of worry on her face.

"I believe we can."

Lu Yuan's eyes were firm and his tone was full of confidence.

"As long as we can find clues, the Black Demon Sect's conspiracy will have nowhere to hide."

Chu Yao also nodded, and then said: "We must be careful this time. The power of the Black Demon Sect is unfathomable, and their minions may appear at any time."

Along the way, Lu Yuan and the other two remained vigilant and did not dare to relax at all.

A few days later, they finally arrived at the entrance of Nether Valley.

At this time, the Nether Valley was shrouded in thick dark clouds, and a strange atmosphere filled the air.

The valley was filled with chilly air, and the surrounding trees were withered and yellow as if dead, without even a hint of life.

"Something is wrong here."

Lu Yuan said in a low voice, looking around.

Ye Ling'er held the dagger tightly, looking nervous.

"We must be careful, there may be secret sentries from the Dark Gate here."

Chu Yao nodded in agreement, and then the three of them quietly sneaked into the Nether Valley.

The valley was dead silent, with only the occasional cold wind blowing, bringing with it the sound of dead branches breaking.

As they went deeper into the valley, the atmosphere around them became increasingly depressing.

"There is an abandoned building ahead."

Chu Yao suddenly said in a low voice, pointing to a dilapidated stone tower not far away.

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed and he quickly approached the abandoned building.

"This may be the former base of the Dark Devil Sect."

Lu Yuan said in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

They quietly approached the stone tower and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Although the stone tower is dilapidated, it still exudes a strong evil aura.

"There's definitely something wrong here."

Ye Ling'er said softly, her expression becoming more solemn.

Lu Yuan nodded, then waved his hand to signal the two to prepare to enter the stone tower.

As they approached the gate of the stone tower, suddenly, a red light flashed on the ground.

"Beware!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly and quickly drew out the Xuanyuan Sword. The sword energy slashed towards the red light like thunder.

"boom!"

The sword energy and the red light collided with each other, and a huge energy wave erupted instantly.

The air was filled with strong fluctuations of spiritual energy, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly became more weird.

"It's a formation!"

Chu Yao shouted loudly, her face turning pale instantly.

Lu Yuan quickly retreated, holding the Xuanyuan Sword tightly in both hands, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"It seems that the Dark Sect has already set a trap here."

He said, and then quickly looked around, looking for a way to break the formation.

"We must break this formation as soon as possible, otherwise we will be trapped here."

Ye Ling'er looked around nervously, and then asked, "Brother Lu Yuan, what kind of formation is this?"

Lu Yuan observed it carefully for a moment, then said, "This is a maze, designed to confuse the mind of those who enter."

"If we are trapped in the formation, our minds will be gradually eroded and we will eventually lose our sanity."

Chu Yao's expression became more and more nervous. She had also heard that the Black Demon Sect's maze was extremely powerful and one could fall into an illusion if not careful.

"what should we do?"

she asked anxiously.

Lu Yuan calmed down and thought carefully about how to break the formation.

"Although the maze is powerful, it also has a fatal weakness."

"The core of this formation lies in the 'Soul Attraction'. As long as we find the center of the formation and destroy the Soul Attraction, the formation will become ineffective."

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao nodded and began to look for the center of the formation.

Just as they were searching around, the formation suddenly started to work.

The scene around them began to blur, as if layers of thick fog were coming in, completely blocking their vision.

"Damn it, the formation is starting to take effect." Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, the Xuanyuan Sword trembling slightly in his hand.

"We must find the center of the formation quickly!"

As the formation began to operate, a strange smell began to fill the air.

That breath seemed to be able to penetrate into people's minds, gradually eroding their consciousness.

Ye Ling'er's face became paler and paler, and her eyes became blurred.

"I...I seem to have seen something..."

She whispered, confusion evident in her voice.

Chu Yao also frowned, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.

"I feel it too... There seems to be some kind of power controlling our consciousness here..."

Lu Yuan felt that the threat of the formation was becoming more serious, and he immediately became alert.

"We can't delay it any longer!"

He shouted loudly, and the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, and the sword energy slashed towards a certain part of the formation like lightning.

"boom!"

The sword energy instantly hit a hidden stone tablet, which collapsed with a loud bang, revealing a dark stone pillar.

"That's the center of the formation!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, with a hint of ecstasy in his eyes.

"Destroy it!"

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao reacted quickly and shouted in unison.

Lu Yuan swung the Xuanyuan Sword, and the sword energy slashed towards the stone pillar like a gust of wind.

"boom!"

As the stone pillars collapsed, the thick fog in the air dissipated instantly, and the power of the formation gradually disappeared.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao finally regained their sanity

On Qingming Festival, they looked at each other, and their faces showed a look of having survived a disaster.

"We made it!"

Chu Yao shouted excitedly, then looked at Lu Yuan.

"Brother Lu Yuan, you are so awesome!"

Lu Yuan smiled lightly, but his eyes remained calm.

"This is just the beginning, the real challenge is yet to come."

He said, his eyes once again flicking towards the abandoned stone tower.

Although the evil energy in the air had weakened, he could feel that the Black Demon Sect's conspiracy was far from over.

“We have to keep moving forward.”

Lu Yuan looked determined, and then led Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao towards the depths of the stone tower.

The secret of the Black Demon Sect is about to be revealed.

But they don't know that what awaits them may be a bigger crisis.

Lu Yuan, Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao stood in front of the abandoned stone tower.

They had just broken the formation and although they had temporarily gotten rid of the threat of the maze, the crisis hidden in the stone tower was obviously more terrifying.

"The tower is filled with evil spirits. We must be careful."

Lu Yuan reminded in a low voice, his expression solemn.

He could feel that there seemed to be a powerful evil force hidden inside the stone tower, as if that force was waiting for their arrival.

"Brother Lu Yuan, shall we go in?"

Ye Ling'er asked, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.

"Everything here looks weird."

Lu Yuan nodded, his eyes firm.

"We have to go in. This tower is very likely to hide the Soul Guide."

"If we can destroy it, the Dark Gate's conspiracy will suffer a severe blow."

Chu Yao nodded slightly, and then said: "No matter what, this is our only chance."

The three of them looked at each other and then walked towards the entrance of the stone tower.

The gate of the stone tower is dilapidated, and the surrounding walls are covered with moss and cracks, as if they have experienced countless years of erosion. (End of this chapter)
