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

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment. He was going to continue his journey, but seeing the elder's sincere eyes, his heart softened and he nodded: "Okay, I can stay in town for a few days."

The elder was overjoyed, and immediately asked the town residents to prepare the best guest rooms and food to show his gratitude to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen lived a very comfortable life in Qingyun Town.

During the time in Qingyun Town, Luo Chen's soul was cleansed again.

He began to understand that the practice of kendo was not just about improving one's own martial arts, but also about contributing to and taking responsibility for the world around him.

Every time he helps others, he gains a deeper understanding of kendo.

However, the good times did not last long, and the peaceful life in Qingyun Town was soon broken.

This time, it was not bandits, but a group of mysterious men in black who suddenly appeared in the town. They seemed to be looking for something, or someone.

Luo Chen noticed these uninvited guests while walking in the town.

Their actions were covert and organized, and they were obviously not ordinary robbers or bandits.

Luo Chen decided to observe secretly to see what the purpose of these men in black was.

As night fell, Luo Chen quietly followed one of the men in black and came to a dense forest outside the town.

There, he heard a conversation between the men in black.

"Is the news confirmed? Is he really here?"

A deep voice asked.

"It's absolutely true. Our informant can't be wrong."

Another voice answered.

"That's good. We must not let him escape this time. The higher-ups are very interested in him. We must bring him back."

Luo Chen was not quite sure who these people were talking about.

But he felt that this kind of thing.

Maybe you should take care of yourself a little.

Luo Chen hid in the shadows of the dense forest, his breathing blending with the night wind, almost silent.

He listened carefully, trying to get more clues from the conversation of the men in black.

However, the men in black seemed to be very tight-lipped about their target, and the few words they spoke revealed the mystery and importance of the other party's identity.

"We have to be careful. This guy is not an ordinary person."

The deep voice from before sounded again, with a hint of warning.

"Don't worry, we are well prepared and this operation cannot afford to fail."

Another voice responded, confidence evident in its tone.

Luo Chen knew that he couldn't let these men in black succeed.

He decided to go back to the town first to warn the townspeople of the possible danger and look for possible clues to find out who these men in black were looking for.

After returning to Qingyun Town, Luo Chen immediately found the elderly man and told him what he had heard.

After hearing this, the elder's face became serious: "It seems that there may be someone they want hiding in our town. We must be vigilant and find this person to protect him from these men in black."

Luo Chen nodded: "I agree, we need to act as soon as possible, but we must also be careful not to cause unnecessary panic."

So, Luo Chen and the elders began to secretly investigate in the town, trying to find out who the man in black was looking for.

They questioned the townspeople and checked recent records of outsiders, but didn't find anything suspicious at first.

Just when they were about to give up, a young girl found Luo Chen.

She looked a little nervous, but her eyes were determined.

"I might know who you're looking for."

The girl whispered.

Luo Chen and the elder looked at each other and both felt a glimmer of hope.

"Please say."

Luo Chen encouraged.

The girl took a deep breath and began to narrate: "A few days ago, a stranger came to our town. He looked very tired and had injuries on his body."

"He told me that he was being hunted by some unknown men and I hid him in the cellar of my house."

After hearing this, Luo Chen and the elder realized that this stranger might be the target that the man in black was looking for.

They decided to meet the stranger immediately and find out what was going on.

Led by the girl, Luo Chen and the elder came to the girl's home.

The girl carefully opened the door of the cellar, and a man with a haggard face but firm eyes appeared in front of them.

When the man saw Luo Chen and the elder, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, but he quickly relaxed.

"who are you?"

the man asked.

Luo Chen briefly introduced himself and the elder, then asked directly: "Why are you being hunted?"

The man was silent for a while, then slowly said: "It's just for my own benefit"

His voice was slightly hoarse.

However, his eyes were filled with a strong will to survive.

"You are a cultivator, right?"

"If so, I will tell you what I found. Can you kill those people and save my life?"

The man's words surprised everyone except Luo Chen.

Immortal cultivator, this title is rarely heard in a small place like Qingyun Town. It is usually associated with the omnipotent immortals in the legend.

"Yes, I am a cultivator."

Luo Chen's answer made everyone present feel inexplicably relieved.

In their hearts, the identity of immortal cultivators seems to represent power and hope.

The man nodded, seemingly not surprised by Luo Chen's answer.

He took a deep breath and began to tell his story.

"My name is Su Bai, and I'm a casual cultivator."

"I accidentally discovered an ancient immortal cultivation site, which contains powerful immortal cultivation resources."

"But the news leaked out and was discovered by a powerful immortal cultivation sect."

"In order to monopolize these resources, they sent their masters to hunt me down and seize the ruins map from me."

Su Bai took out a yellowed parchment from his arms, on which were drawn complex symbols and routes.

"This is the map of the ruins. I wanted to present it to the sect in exchange for a chance to join, but I didn't expect them to have such murderous intentions."

Luo Chen took the map and looked at it carefully.

He could feel the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from the map. This was definitely not an ordinary thing.

"I promise you, I will get you out of here safely."

Luo Chen said firmly: "But you must tell me, what are the strengths of those who are chasing you?"

A hint of gratitude flashed in Su Bai's eyes, and he began to describe in detail the strength and characteristics of the pursuer.

As Luo Chen listened, he was thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.

Su Bai gave a detailed description.

The elder took action immediately, he knew that Luo Chen's decision concerned the safety of the entire town.

As the night deepened, Luo Chen came to the dense forest outside the town alone. He took a deep breath and released his own breath, which was a provocation to those who were chasing him.

Soon, men in black appeared around him like ghosts.

Their eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Who are you?"

"You should leave immediately, or you will lose your life."

The leading man in black said coldly.

Luo Chen smiled slightly. There was no fear in his eyes. Instead, he revealed a calm confidence.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you can't complete your mission today."

Luo Chen's voice was calm and firm, as if he was stating an established fact.

A hint of surprise flashed across the eyes of the leading man in black, which then turned into anger.

He obviously didn't expect that anyone would dare to openly challenge them.

"Arrogant! Who do you think you are? We are the elite of the Black Wind Sect. How can a human like you possibly compete with us?"

The man in black sneered, and the other men in black around him also smiled sarcastically.

Luo Chen did not say anything else. He just slowly raised his hand, and a powerful spiritual energy wave emanated from his palm, forming ripples that were visible to the naked eye.

The men in black felt the pressure of this force and their faces became solemn.

They knew that this seemingly ordinary human being before them actually possessed powers that were difficult for them to imagine.

"Do it!"

At the command of the leading man in black, the other men in black drew their weapons and attacked Luo Chen.

Luo Chen's figure flashed, and he shuttled among the black-clothed crowd like a ghost, and every attack he made accurately hit the black-clothed men's vital points.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and each attack was accompanied by a groan and the sound of falling to the ground.

The battle came to an end in a very short time. The men in black fell one after another. The leading man in black watched his men lose their combat effectiveness one by one, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

"You...who are you?"

The leading man in black had a trembling voice, and he began to realize that he was not facing an ordinary human being.

Luo Chen did not answer, but said calmly: "Go back and tell your sect leader that I will protect Su Bai. If he still has the courage, let him come to see me in person."

The leading man in black gritted his teeth and finally retreated in a panic with the rest of his men.

Luo Chen looked at their receding backs, knowing in his heart that this battle was only a temporary victory.

The Black Wind Sect is very powerful, they will never give up.

He must find a safe place as soon as possible so that Su Bai can recuperate and study the map of the ancient immortal cultivation ruins.

After returning to the town, Luo Chen found Su Bai and the elders and told them the outcome of the battle.

"You did a great job, Luo Chen."

The elder looked at Luo Chen approvingly: "But we can't let our guard down. The revenge of the Black Wind Sect will come soon."

Su Bai also looked at Luo Chen gratefully. He knew that he owed Luo Chen a huge favor.

"Don't worry, I will protect your life."

Luo Chen's promise brought a warm feeling to Su Bai's heart, but at the same time he also knew that the dispute he was involved in was far from simple.

Su Bai knew that the Black Wind Sect was powerful and they would not easily let go of anyone who might threaten their interests.

"Luo Chen, are you really willing to become an enemy of the Black Wind Sect for me?"

There was a hint of guilt and uneasiness in Su Bai's voice.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, his eyes were firm and clear: "Su Bai, since I promised you, I will never break my promise, and I am not afraid of any challenge."

The elder nodded. He knew Luo Chen's potential and determination, and also understood the seriousness of this battle.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "Luo Chen, Su Bai, I may know a place where you can hide temporarily."

Luo Chen and Su Bai both looked at the elder, their eyes full of anticipation.

"To the north of Qingyun Town, there is an ancient mountain called Yunyin Peak."

"The mountains there are steep and shrouded in clouds and mist, making it difficult for ordinary people to climb."

"Moreover, it was once a place where immortal cultivators practiced. It seems that there are many formations. Even for the people of the Black Wind Sect, it is not easy to find and break through."

The elder spoke slowly.

After hearing this, Luo Chen and Su Bai both felt relieved.

Su Bai was even more grateful. He didn't expect to meet such a righteous person in this small place.

"Then when do we set off?"

Su Bai asked anxiously.

"Let's set off now without further delay." Luo Chen said decisively.

So, the three of them took advantage of the night and quietly left Qingyun Town and headed towards Yunyin Peak.

Along the way, Luo Chen carried Su Bai on his back because his injuries had not yet fully recovered and he had difficulty moving.

After a night of trekking, they finally arrived at the foot of Yunyin Peak.

Looking up, I saw the mountain peaks towering into the clouds and the mountainside shrouded in mist, like a fairyland.

The elder led them along a secret path, avoiding numerous traps and formations along the way.

Finally, they came to a hidden cave.

The elder took out an ancient jade pendant from his arms and pressed it lightly, and the stone door of the cave slowly opened.

There is a different world inside the cave. It is not only spacious and bright, but also arranged in an orderly manner. It is obviously a place for long-term residence.

"This is the place where the immortal cultivator I mentioned once practiced. This place can be your temporary refuge."

The elder said.

Luo Chen and Su Bai were very grateful for the elder's arrangements.

They knew that with such a safe place, Su Bai could rest and recuperate, and Luo Chen could also begin to study the map of the ancient immortal cultivation ruins.

In the following days, Luo Chen took care of Su Bai while studying the map.

Su Bai's injuries gradually improved under Luo Chen's careful care.

And the secrets on the map were gradually revealed by Luo Chen.

Late one night, when Luo Chen was studying a map, he suddenly found a special place on the map that he had never noticed before.

"If so, the information here is true."

"I'm afraid the gains I can get this time will far exceed my imagination."

Luo Chen's heart beat faster and he realized that he might have touched upon a huge secret.

The special place marked on the map seemed to hide some powerful power, or it might be an undiscovered relic of immortal cultivation.

He immediately woke up Su Bai and told him about his discovery.

Although Su Bai's injuries had not yet healed, his eyes sparkled with excitement when he heard the news.

He knew that if the information on the map was true, then they would not only be able to find a powerful force to fight against the Black Wind Sect, but they might even change their current destiny.

"Luo Chen, we have to be careful."

Su Bai reminded: "Once such a secret is leaked, it will probably attract the covetousness of countless people."

Luo Chen nodded. He understood the importance of this secret and the danger they were facing. (End of this chapter)
