Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

He moved and rushed towards the men in gray.

His swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and each sword contained the power of the stars, making it impossible for the men in gray to resist.

Under his attack, the men in gray fell to the ground one after another.

In the end, all the men in gray were defeated by Luo Yao and Li Qingyun.

They lay on the ground, no longer able to resist.

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as they looked at the results of the battle.

At this point, the trouble is over.

"Brother Luo, what are you going to do next?"

Li Qingyun looked at Luo Yao with questioning eyes.

After this series of adventures and battles, the friendship and trust between them have reached a whole new level.

They are not only comrades fighting side by side, but also friends who can trust each other with life and death.

Luo Yao pondered for a moment, looked into the distance, and slowly said: "Qingyun, I want to go back to Shenmu City."

Li Qingyun nodded, showing his understanding: "Shenmu City is indeed the nearest city nearby, but the Heart of the Sky in your hand is too precious, I am worried..."

Luo Yao interrupted him and said with a smile: "I understand your concerns, but please rest assured that I will act carefully."

“And, I believe as long as we stand united, nothing can stop us.”

After hearing Luo Yao's words, Li Qingyun felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He knew that Luo Yao was a trustworthy friend and he would definitely do what he said.

So, the two decided to go to Shenmu City together.

Before leaving, Luo Yao carefully put away the Heart of the Sky to make sure it would not be discovered by anyone.

After several days of travel, they finally returned to Shenmu City.

Shenmu City, this ancient and prosperous city, is located in a dense forest, as if it is the guardian of nature.

The buildings in the city are simple and elegant, the streets are clean and tidy, and there is a constant stream of pedestrians, exuding an atmosphere of tranquility and harmony everywhere.

As soon as Luo Yao and Li Qingyun entered Shenmu City, they felt the prosperity and bustle of the city.

They moved through the bustling crowd, looking for a place to stay.

After some searching, they found an inn called "Yunlai Inn" and decided to stay there temporarily.

In the inn, Luo Yao and Li Qingyun each got a room, and after a short rest they met in the lobby of the inn.

They found a seat by the window, ordered a few side dishes, and began to discuss their next plan.

"Brother Luo, what do you think we should do with the Heart of the Sky?" Li Qingyun asked first.

Luo Yao pondered for a moment and slowly said: "The Heart of the Sky is the greatest treasure of heaven and earth. The power it contains is extremely powerful."

"But at the same time, it is also extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, it may lead to a catastrophic disaster."

He paused and continued, "I think we should keep it properly and deal with it when we find the right opportunity."

Li Qingyun nodded, expressing his agreement: "Brother Luo is right, but the Heart of the Sky is so precious, how should we keep it?"

Luo Yao smiled slightly, took out a small jade box from his arms, and gently placed it on the table: "This is my plan."

Li Qingyun picked up the jade box curiously and looked at it carefully.

There were delicate patterns engraved on the jade box, emitting a faint fluorescence, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.

"This is..." Li Qingyun looked at Luo Yao in surprise.

Luo Yao explained: "This is a jade box that I specially asked a master refiner to make. It is called the 'Star Jade Box'."

"It is made of a rare material called 'Star Jade' and has extremely strong sealing capabilities."

"Putting the Heart of the Sky inside can isolate its aura and prevent it from being detected by others."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyun couldn't help but admire Luo Yao's attentiveness and thoughtfulness.

He nodded, carefully placed the Heart of the Sky into the Star Jade Box, and then closed the lid again.

In the following days, Luo Yao and Li Qingyun traveled around Shenmu City to learn about the customs and history of this city.

They tasted local delicacies, watched wonderful performances, and had friendly exchanges with some practitioners.

However, the good times did not last long.

The night before they were about to leave Shenmu City, an unexpected news broke the peaceful atmosphere.

That night, Luo Yao and Li Qingyun were chatting in the inn.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door. They looked at each other and couldn't help frowning.

Who would come to see them at this late hour?
Luo Yao stood up and walked to the door. He opened it and saw a breathless waiter standing at the door with a piece of paper in his hand. He said anxiously, "My two guests, someone asked me to give this to you."

Luo Yao took the note and saw the words written on it: "Heart of the Sky, come and trade quickly."

"Otherwise, your life will be in danger." An address was also attached below.

After reading the note, Luo Yao's face suddenly darkened.

He knew that this was a threat from those forces that coveted the Heart of the Sky.

They actually found this place and dared to threaten them so blatantly!
Seeing this, Li Qingyun also understood the seriousness of the matter.

He clenched his fists, with a flash of anger in his eyes: "Brother Luo, what should we do?"

Luo Yao took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He knew that the current situation did not allow him to hesitate.

He must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise not only will he be in danger, but innocent people will also be implicated.

He turned to Li Qingyun and said, "Qingyun, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must go and meet them to find out what their purpose is."

Li Qingyun nodded in agreement: "Okay! Let's go together!"

So, the two of them followed the address on the note and came to a remote alley.

At the end of the alley, a dilapidated house came into view.

The gate of the house was closed and the surroundings were quiet, as if no one was there.

However, Luo Yao and Li Qingyun could feel a strong sense of uneasiness and oppression.

They knew that this was where those forces were hiding.

The two looked at each other, with determination flashing in their eyes.

They took a deep breath and then pushed open the door of the house together.

Inside the door was a dark and narrow courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard, sat a mysterious man in a black robe.

He wore a black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes. Seeing Luo Yao and Li Qingyun enter the courtyard, the mysterious man slowly stood up, his eyes swept over the two of them, and finally stopped on the star jade box in Luo Yao's hand.

"It seems that you are very aware of the current situation." The mysterious man's voice was hoarse and cold, as if it came from the underworld.

Luo Yao did not answer, but held the Star Jade Box tightly in his hand, staring at the mysterious man vigilantly.

Li Qingyun stood beside Luo Yao, ready to fight at any time.

Seeing this, the mysterious man sneered and said, "Don't be nervous. I don't want to steal your Heart of the Sky."

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun were slightly stunned when they heard this.

If it wasn't for the Heart of the Sky, why did they go to so much trouble to find them?
The mysterious man seemed to see their confusion and continued to explain: "I am a messenger from an ancient family. Our family has been looking for the whereabouts of the Heart of the Sky."

"It was not until recently that we learned that you had obtained the Heart of the Sky."

"Our family has a special use for the Heart of the Sky, so we have to disturb you."

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that the other party did not come to steal the Heart of the Sky, so they might still have room for negotiation.

"Then what do you want us to do?" Luo Yao asked.

The mysterious man pointed to the Star Jade Box and said, "We hope that you can hand over the Heart of the Sky to our family. In return, we can provide you with a generous reward."

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun smiled at each other. They knew that this was the other party's real purpose.

However, they did not immediately reject the other party's request.

"We can consider your request, but we need to see your sincerity first." Luo Yao said slowly.

The mysterious man nodded: "Of course, I can give you a portion of the reward as a token of my sincerity."

As he spoke, he pulled out an exquisite jade box from his bosom and gently placed it on the table: "This is a special elixir made by our family, called 'Tianling Pill'. Taking one pill can increase your cultivation by a hundred years."

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun couldn't help but feel moved when they heard this.

They knew that the Tianling Pill was a treasure in the world of cultivation and its value was immeasurable.

However, they did not easily believe each other's words.

Luo Yao picked up the jade box and checked it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he nodded: "Okay, we accept your sincerity."

However, just as they were about to make a deal, the mysterious man showed a sly smile on his face: “However, this pill is only part of the reward.

The Heart of the Sky is of vital importance to our family, and we must ensure that it returns to us intact."

Li Qingyun's heart tightened and he felt an ominous premonition.

He stared at the mysterious man and asked, "What else do you want?"

The mysterious man said slowly: "We need one of you two to go with us to the family and ensure that nothing unexpected happens to the Heart of the Sky on the way."

Luo Yao and Li Qingyun looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and uneasiness.

They understood that this request would undoubtedly put one of them in danger.

However, they also knew that if they did not agree to this request, the Heart of the Sky would be difficult to preserve.

After a brief silence, Luo Yao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyun couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother Luo, this is too dangerous! You can't go!"

Luo Yao shook his head and said firmly: "Qingyun, this is what I should do. The Heart of the Sky is something we both got, and I can't let you take the risk alone."

"Besides, I believe their family will not do anything to me."

Li Qingyun wanted to say something, but Luo Yao had already turned around and walked towards the mysterious man, handing him the Star Jade Box.

The mysterious man took the jade box, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and then he made a gesture of invitation to Luo Yao.

Luo Yao looked back at Li Qingyun and said with a smile: "Qingyun, wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he followed the mysterious man out of the courtyard.

Li Qingyun stood where he was, watching Luo Yao's back disappear into the night.

He knew that this farewell might be forever.

But he also believed that Luo Yao would be able to return safely.

Because they are friends and brothers, no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will support each other and face them together.

The night was as dark as ink. Li Qingyun stood alone in front of the dilapidated house, looking in the direction where Luo Yao disappeared, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

He knew very well what this trip meant to Luo Yao. It was not just a simple transaction, but also an adventure with uncertain life and death.

However, Luo Yao chose this path without hesitation. For his friends and brothers, he was willing to give everything.

Li Qingyun clenched his fists and secretly swore in his heart that no matter what difficulties Luo Yao encountered, he would do his best to help him.

Just as Li Qingyun was deep in thought, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard.

He looked up and saw a young man in green clothes rushing over with a hint of anxiety on his face.

"Brother Li, I heard that Brother Luo was taken away by those people. Is this true?"

The young man in blue asked breathlessly.

Li Qingyun nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's right, Brother Luo chose to follow them to leave in order to protect the Heart of the Sky."

The young man in blue clothes heard this and showed a trace of anger on his face: "Those guys are so despicable and shameless that they actually threatened us in this way!"

Li Qingyun sighed and said, "Now that things have come to this, we can only think of a way to save Brother Luo."

The young man in blue nodded and said, "That's right, we can't just sit there and watch. Brother Li, do you have any plans?"

Li Qingyun pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to investigate the background of those people first to see where they come from."

The young man in blue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

So, the two of them embarked on a journey to find clues.

After some investigation, they learned that those mysterious people came from an evil force called "White Styx".

This force is notorious in the world of cultivation, and takes pleasure in robbing treasures and harming innocent people.

After they learned that Luo Yao was taken away, they planned to use the power of the Heart of the Sky to improve their own cultivation and dominate the cultivation world.

After Li Qingyun and the young man in blue learned the news, they became more determined to rescue Luo Yao.

They knew it would be a tough battle, but they were ready for it.

They began to look for forces that could fight against the Nether Palace, hoping to use their power to rescue Luo Yao.

After some effort, they finally found a sect called "Tianjian Sect".

The Tianjian Sect is a famous and upright sect in the world of cultivation, famous for its superb swordsmanship and chivalrous deeds.

They decided to go to the Tianjian Sect for help, hoping to get their support.

The two of them traveled a long way and finally arrived at the gate of the Tianjian Sect. (End of this chapter)
