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

Seeing this, the men in black changed their strategies and tried to stop Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's actions.

But Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were in perfect harmony and cooperated well with each other. They dodged and evaded, cleverly avoiding the enemy's siege.

Finally, they came to where the pills were.

Luo Chen swung his sword and destroyed the pills along with the tools used to make them.

As the pills broke, a pungent smell spread. The men in black covered their mouths and noses, and their movements became slow.

"It's now!"

Luo Chen shouted loudly and launched an attack again with Qingshuang. This time, their swordsmanship was more fierce. Under the influence of drugs, the men in black could not resist at all.

The battle ended quickly, and the men in black were either knocked down by Luo Chen and Qing Shuang or fled in all directions.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood in the messy basement, panting, but with a gleam of victory in their eyes.

"We succeeded." Qingshuang said, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

"Yes, but we can't let our guard down yet." Luo Chen replied, his gaze turning to the depths of the basement: "We have to see if there are any other clues here."

The two continued searching the basement and eventually found a hidden door in a corner.

Luo Chen pushed the door open carefully and found a small secret room inside, which contained some documents and books.

They quickly looked through the materials and discovered a shocking secret.

It turns out that this organization is not only related to the evil forces in Black Wind Ridge, but they are also planning a bigger conspiracy with the intention of subverting the order of the entire White Elephant City.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang realized that they must report this information to the authorities as soon as possible.

They gathered up the documents and books they found and prepared to leave the basement.

Just then, a slight sound of footsteps was heard from the other end of the secret room.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately became alert. They knew that this might be a person who had escaped among the men in black, or a higher-level member of the organization.

They held their weapons tightly, ready to fight at any time.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a figure appeared at the entrance of the secret room.

He was a man in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows, but Luo Chen and Qing Shuang could feel the powerful aura emanating from him.

"You guys did a great job, but you know too much."

The black-robed man's voice was low and cold, and he slowly walked towards Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that they had to do their best, otherwise not only would they be in danger, but the entire Baixiang City might also face a huge threat.

The battle broke out again, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang fought a life-and-death battle with the man in black robe.

The man in black robe has great martial arts skills and brutal moves, and every attack carries a deadly threat.

But Luo Chen and Qing Shuang dealt with the man in black robe with their tacit cooperation and firm will.

During a fierce confrontation, Luo Chen seized the opportunity and stabbed the black-robed man in the chest with a sword.

Although the man in black robe dodged in time, his robe was still cut by the tip of the sword, revealing a strange mark on his chest.

"This is……"

Qingshuang exclaimed, she recognized the mark, it was the symbol of the evil forces in Black Wind Ridge.

When the black-robed man saw this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He seemed to have not expected that Luo Chen and Qing Shuang would recognize this mark.

He no longer wanted to fight and turned to flee to the other end of the secret room.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not miss this opportunity and they chased after him relentlessly.

The man in black robe fled to a secret door, which he quickly opened and disappeared behind.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed closely behind, passed through the secret door, and found themselves in an even more secret underground passage.

At the end of the passage is an iron gate, which is engraved with strange runes.

The man in black robe has disappeared. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decide to open the iron door to see what secrets are hidden inside.

They carefully unlocked the runes on the iron door, and the iron door slowly opened.

Behind the door was a huge underground hall. In the center of the hall stood a huge stone platform, on top of which sat a crystal ball that was flickering with a faint light.

The crystal ball seemed to contain some powerful power. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang could feel that power flowing slowly.

"This...what is this?"

There was a hint of trembling in Qingshuang's voice. She had never seen such a mysterious and powerful object.

Luo Chen gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and looked around vigilantly. He could feel that this crystal ball was no ordinary object and there might be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it.

"We have to be a little more careful." Luo Chen whispered, "I sense a hint of ominous power in this crystal ball."

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that Luo Chen's intuition was always accurate.

The two slowly approached the stone platform, trying to observe the crystal ball more closely.

Just as they approached, the crystal ball suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful energy wave emanated from the sphere, shocking Luo Chen and Qing Shuang back a few steps.

"Be careful!" Luo Chen shouted, and at the same time, the two of them quickly adjusted their posture to prepare for possible attacks.

However, instead of launching an attack, the crystal ball began to project a series of images and symbols into the air.

The images seem to tell an ancient story, and the symbols are like some kind of mysterious text.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang watched intently, realizing that these images and symbols might reveal the true purpose of the evil forces in Black Wind Ridge.

The image shows a world shrouded in darkness, where a powerful dark force is eroding all light.

The symbols seem to indicate some kind of ritual, a ritual that can summon or release this dark force.

"We must stop this," Qingshuang said nervously, "If the things in these images come true, the entire White Elephant City may be in danger."

Luo Chen clenched his fists, a determined light flashing in his eyes: "We can't let this happen. We must find the location of this ceremony and stop them."

The two decided to record the information in the crystal ball so that they could study it with the wise men from the government after returning.

They carefully traced images and symbols onto paper and then hid the material.

Just as they were about to leave the underground hall, suddenly, the entire space began to vibrate, as if some huge power was awakening.

"Let's go!" Luo Chen shouted. He knew they had to leave this place immediately.

The two men quickly passed through the iron gate and ran back along the underground passage.

Just as they were about to reach the secret door, a huge roar came from behind them and the entire underground passage began to collapse.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang ran as fast as they could and finally rushed out of the secret door before the passage collapsed completely.

When they looked back, they saw that the passage behind the secret door had been completely blocked by rubble.

"We have to go back immediately." Luo Chen panted and said, "We must report this information to the government and organize people to investigate this underground hall."

Qingshuang nodded, she knew this was a race against time.

If they fail to stop the Black Wind Ridge conspiracy in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

The two quickly left the basement and returned to White Elephant City.

After Luo Chen and Qing Shuang returned to Baixiang City, they immediately rushed to the government office. They knew that time was running out and every minute and every second could affect the safety of the entire city.

When the government officials saw them covered in dust and looking nervous, they immediately realized that something big had happened.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, what happened to you?"

The government's chief clerk, Mr. Zhang, asked anxiously.

Luo Chen quickly told Lord Zhang all the information they found in the basement of the Black Wind Ridge organization and the images and symbols in the crystal ball.

After hearing this, Mr. Zhang's face became extremely serious.

"This is truly unimaginable. If these evil forces really summon the power of darkness, the consequences will be disastrous."

After a moment's silence, Lord Zhang quickly issued an order: "Call all officials immediately. We need to formulate a response plan immediately."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also participated in the meeting and studied the images and symbols in the crystal ball with the government officials.

After some heated discussion, they finally determined where the ceremony might take place, an ancient altar deep in the Black Wind Ridge.

In other words, they had to go back to the depths of Black Wind Ridge again.

"We must act now."

Lord Zhang stood up and said firmly, "Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, you take a team of elite soldiers to Black Wind Ridge to stop their conspiracy. I will report to the city lord in person and organize the city defense force just in case."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took the order and quickly assembled a team of elite soldiers and rushed to Black Wind Ridge overnight.

They knew that this was a battle with no retreat and they had to succeed.

After a night of forced march, the team led by Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally arrived at Black Wind Ridge.

They carefully made their way through the dense forest and approached the ancient altar.

Many people in black had gathered around the altar, and they were busy preparing something.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang signaled the soldiers to hide, and they quietly approached the altar, trying to understand the enemy's plan.

They discovered that the man in black was arranging the altar according to the symbols in the crystal ball, preparing for the summoning ceremony.

"We have to stop them before they can complete the ritual."

Luo Chen whispered to Qingshuang.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew this was their only chance.

The two decided to act separately, Luo Chen was responsible for attracting the attention of the men in black, while Qingshuang looked for an opportunity to destroy the altar.

Luo Chen suddenly jumped out from his hiding place and attacked the man in black with his sword.

His appearance caused the men in black to panic. They didn't expect someone to disturb them at this time.

Qingshuang took the opportunity to sneak into the altar. She found a groove in the center of the altar, which seemed to be the place where the crystal ball was placed.

She quickly took out the images and symbols she had recorded earlier, trying to find the key to disrupt the ritual.

At the same time, Luo Chen started a fierce battle with the man in black.

His swordsmanship was so sharp that the man in black could hardly defend himself for a moment.

But there were many experts among the men in black. They quickly organized themselves and formed an encirclement on Luo Chen.

Qingshuang found a key rune on the altar. She knew that the ceremony would be interrupted if this rune was destroyed.

She quickly took out the tools she had with her and began to carefully destroy the runes.

Just when the rune was about to be destroyed, the men in black around the altar noticed Qingshuang's actions.

They immediately sent some people to rush towards Qingshuang, trying to stop her.

Seeing this, Luo Chen knew that Qingshuang was in danger. He struggled to break through the encirclement of the men in black and rushed towards the altar.

His sword was like a flash of lightning, knocking down all the men in black who stood in his way.

Qingshuang fought hard against the men in black. She knew Luo Chen was on his way and she had to hold on until the last moment.

Just when she was about to run out of strength, Luo Chen finally arrived. With one sword, he chopped down the black-clad men who were besieging Qingshuang and rescued her from the predicament.

The two fought side by side and finally destroyed the key rune on the altar.

As the runes were destroyed, the entire altar began to shake violently. A powerful energy burst out from the altar, blowing away the surrounding men in black.

Seeing this, the leader of the men in black knew that the situation was hopeless. He let out a roar and quickly evacuated the scene with the remaining men in black.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the altar which was gradually calming down, knowing that they had successfully stopped the conspiracy of the evil forces in Black Wind Ridge.

They smiled at each other. Although they were exhausted, their hearts were filled with the joy of victory.

"We did it." Luo Chen said breathlessly.

"Yes, we did." Qingshuang responded with a smile.

After it's over.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang returned to Baixiang City.

The people from the government are responsible for finishing off the matter.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang naturally returned to the small courtyard they had rented before, planning to recuperate for a while.

"Now that I think about it, these recent events are really thrilling!"

Luo Chen sat on the stone bench in the yard, looking at the sky, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

Qingshuang was bandaging his wound carefully. Her movements were gentle and focused, as if she was treating a precious work of art.

"Yes." Qingshuang responded softly: "But we finally made it through."

The two were silent for a while, enjoying this rare tranquility.

However, Luo Chen knew that such peace might only be temporary.

Although the conspiracy at Black Wind Ridge was stopped, those forces would never give up.

"Qingshuang." Luo Chen suddenly said, "We can't let our guard down. Although the forces of Black Wind Ridge have suffered a blow, they definitely have a backup plan. We must remain vigilant at all times."

Qingshuang nodded, she understood that what Luo Chen said made sense.

She stood up, walked to Luo Chen, and gently held his hand.

"No matter what happens, we will face it together." Qingshuang said firmly.

Luo Chen responded with a warm smile. He knew that as long as Qingshuang was by his side, he would not feel lonely no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead.

In the next few days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang recuperated while closely following the developments in Baixiang City.

The government is also actively investigating the remnants of Black Wind Ridge to prevent them from causing trouble again.

One evening, when Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were chatting in the courtyard, a government messenger hurried in, bringing urgent news from Lord Zhang.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang."

The messenger panted and said, "Master Zhang asks you to go to the government office immediately. There is an emergency." (End of this chapter)
