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

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and immediately realized that things might not be simple.

They quickly followed the messenger to the government office.

After arriving at the government office, Lord Zhang immediately came to greet him, his face looking even more serious than last time.

"Luo Chen, Qingshuang, we just received news that the remnants of Black Wind Ridge have begun to massacre the people in the nearby villages." There was a hint of anxiety in Lord Zhang's voice.

After hearing this, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Luo Chen clenched his fists, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "These beasts dare to kill innocent people like this!"

Qing Shuang's face also showed determination: "We can't just sit there and watch, we must act as soon as possible."

Lord Zhang nodded, his tone heavy: "I have organized a rescue team, but we need your help. You know the situation in Black Wind Ridge best, and only you can find the hiding place of those remnants."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang agreed without any hesitation.

They know that time is life, and every minute of delay may result in the death of more innocent people.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the rescue team and quietly headed towards Black Wind Ridge.

They knew that this operation was not only for rescue, but also to completely eradicate the evil forces in Black Wind Ridge.

The team traveled through the night, with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang leading the way. They used their familiarity with the terrain to avoid possible ambushes in Black Wind Ridge.

After several hours of rapid march, they finally approached the center of Black Wind Ridge.

In a hidden valley, they found traces of the remnants of Black Wind Ridge.

There were flickering lights in the valley, and people's cries and wails could be faintly heard.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other, they knew that the battle was about to begin.

Luo Chen whispered to Qing Shuang: "You go notify the rescue team and ask them to flank us from the rear. I'll go check out the situation first."

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that Luo Chen’s swordsmanship was more powerful in the dark, and he was good at stealth, so he could go and investigate the enemy’s situation first.

Luo Chen approached the valley silently like a ghost.

He took advantage of the cover of night and terrain to avoid enemy patrols and sneak into the valley.

He discovered that the remnants of Black Wind Ridge were setting up a temporary camp in the valley. They surrounded the villagers, and some men in black were interrogating and torturing the villagers.

Luo Chen was furious, but he knew that acting impulsively would only make the situation more dangerous.

He quickly returned and told Qingshuang and the rescue team what he had seen.

"We must act immediately, but be careful not to let the villagers get hurt." Luo Chen said seriously.

Qingshuang and the captain of the rescue team nodded, and they quickly developed a detailed rescue plan.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led a group of elite soldiers to attack from the front to attract the enemy's attention.

The main force of the rescue team quietly approached from the rear, ready to rescue the villagers.

The battle broke out in the night. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were like two sharp swords, piercing straight into the enemy's heart.

Their swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and wherever they went, the men in black fell down one after another.

At the same time, the rescue team also successfully approached the villagers. They acted quickly and rescued the villagers from the siege of the men in black.

The battle lasted for nearly an hour and ended with the defeat of the remnants of Black Wind Ridge.

Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were both injured, there was a gleam of victory in their eyes.

The rescue team successfully brought all the villagers out of Black Wind Ridge safely, and the remnants of Black Wind Ridge were all captured by government soldiers.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang stood at the entrance of the valley, looking at the rescued villagers, their hearts filled with relief.

"It's done."

Luo Chen said softly.

Qingshuang smiled and nodded: "Yes, we succeeded."

Although the battle was over, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that their mission was not yet complete.

They must escort the remnants of the Black Wind Ridge back to White Elephant City to face legal trial.

Moreover, Luo Chen had a deeper worry in his heart.

Although the operation was successful, the real power behind Black Wind Ridge, the dark hand hiding in the dark that seems to be able to control everything, has not yet surfaced.

This force is more terrifying than the bandits in Black Wind Ridge. It is like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

They escorted the prisoners and set out on the journey back to White Elephant City.

Along the way, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to exchange their views on the challenges they might encounter next.

Qingshuang suggested that perhaps some clues about the mastermind behind the incident could be extracted from these captives, but Luo Chen was worried that these remnants might have been trained to keep their mouths shut and would not reveal any information easily.

After returning to Baixiang City, Lord Zhang praised Luo Chen and Qing Shuang for their heroic actions and personally held a celebration banquet for them.

During the dinner, Luo Chen tentatively raised his concerns about the mastermind behind the incident. Upon hearing this, Lord Zhang frowned, obviously realizing the seriousness of the issue.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, you are right to worry. The matter of Black Wind Ridge is by no means as simple as it seems."

"I have sent people to investigate secretly, but there are no solid clues so far."

"Since you have such profound insights into this matter, why don't you stay in White Elephant City and help us solve this mystery together."

Mr. Zhang said sincerely.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

They know that the battle is far from over, and they, as messengers of justice, must fight to the end.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang devoted themselves to investigating the mastermind behind the incident.

They visited all the suspicious people in Baixiang City and the surrounding areas and collected a lot of clues, but each clue seemed to point in a different direction, making them feel confused and anxious.

However, just when they were about to give up, an unexpected discovery gave them renewed hope.

During a late-night infiltration operation, they discovered a secret base hidden underground in Baixiang City.

This base is heavily guarded and heavily guarded, and is obviously very important.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang carefully sneaked into the base, only to discover that it was actually a huge intelligence network center.

The walls were covered with various maps, portraits and secret letters, and every piece of information pointed to the mastermind behind the scenes, a mysterious organization called "Shadow Pavilion".

They realized that this organization not only controlled bandit gangs like Black Wind Ridge, but also infiltrated every corner of White Elephant City, and might even have spies inside the government.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not retreat.

They knew that only by completely destroying the Shadow Pavilion could this matter be completely resolved.

So, they began to secretly plan a raid on the Shadow Pavilion.

In a courtyard in Baixiang City.

At this time, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and many practitioners in Baixiang City all gathered here.

It seemed that they were discussing something. "Luo Chen, are you sure?"

Qingshuang was looking at Luo Chen with some worry.

Luo Chen's eyes were firm. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "I can't say I'm completely sure, but we have enough information and have made a thorough plan."

"More importantly, we cannot allow the Shadow Pavilion to continue to commit crimes and threaten the peace of White Elephant City and even more innocent people."

Qing Shuang heard this, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "No matter what the result is, I will fight alongside you."

In the courtyard, other practitioners also expressed their opinions. They were either from major sects or the best among independent practitioners. They all gathered here because they hated the evil deeds of the Shadow Pavilion.

As the representative of the government, Mr. Zhang gave them his full support and promised to mobilize all available resources to ensure the smooth progress of the operation.

Luo Chen looked around and felt everyone's determination and trust. He said in a deep voice: "Tonight, we will sneak into the core area of ​​the Shadow Pavilion and go straight to Huanglong."

"But please remember, we must be careful. The Shadow Pavilion has many experts who are good at plotting. Once we are exposed, the consequences will be disastrous."

Everyone nodded and began to check their equipment, adjust their status, and prepare for the upcoming decisive battle.

The night is getting darker, the moon is dark and the wind is strong, it is the best time to act.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the group, using the cover of night to quietly approach the secret base of the Shadow Pavilion.

Along the way, they cleverly avoided the heavy guards and gradually advanced deeper with their thorough knowledge of the terrain and enemy layout.

Finally, they arrived outside the core hall of the Shadow Pavilion.

The hall was brightly lit, and low voices of conversation could be heard faintly. It was obvious that important figures from the Shadow Pavilion were gathering here.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang exchanged glances, and then they simultaneously performed their lightness skills, like two black lightning bolts, and instantly rushed into the hall.

At the same time, other practitioners also launched attacks from all directions according to the plan. For a moment, the hall was filled with the flashing of swords and the shouting of killing.

The masters of the Shadow Pavilion were obviously caught off guard by the sudden attack, but they quickly stabilized their position and engaged in a fierce battle with Luo Chen and others.

Luo Chen's swordsmanship is like a dragon swimming across the seas, and each sword contains majestic sword intent. Qingshuang is good at lightness skills, and he shuttles freely among the crowd, constantly giving the enemy fatal blows.

However, the strength of the Shadow Pavilion is far more than what it appears on the surface.

As the battle deepened, more and more masters joined the fight. Their martial arts were strange and unpredictable, making it difficult to defend against them.

Although Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and others were brave, they gradually felt the pressure.

At this moment, an angry shout came from deep in the hall, and a middle-aged man in a black robe walked out slowly.

He had a stern face and eyes as sharp as an eagle. He was the leader of the Shadow Pavilion, the Lord of Shadows.

"Humph, a few mere ants dare to attack my Shadow Pavilion?"

The Lord of Shadow sneered, and with a flash of his body, he appeared in front of Luo Chen like a ghost. He slapped out with one palm, and the palm wind was sharp and carried destructive power.

Luo Chen's heart trembled, but he did not retreat. Instead, he raised his sword to meet the attack.

The sword light and palm wind intertwined in the air, erupting with a deafening roar.

The two of them fought back and forth, and the fight was hard to resolve.

Seeing this, Qingshuang immediately joined the battle and fought side by side with Luo Chen to fight against the Lord of Shadows.

As time went on, the fighting became more intense.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually gained the upper hand with their extraordinary strength and tacit cooperation.

However, the Shadow Lord is also very powerful. He constantly uses his strange martial arts to try to reverse the situation.

At this critical moment, the government reinforcements led by Lord Zhang finally arrived.

They were like divine soldiers sent from heaven, attacking from all directions and instantly breaking the balance of the battlefield.

The disciples of the Shadow Pavilion suddenly lost their composure and began to flee.

When the Lord of Shadow saw this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth suddenly, and black air shrouded his body, obviously intending to perform some forbidden martial arts.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt nervous, they knew that this was the crucial moment to decide the outcome.

"Qingshuang, cover me!"

Luo Chen let out a low roar, then suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the Lord of Shadow like an arrow.

His swordsmanship reached its peak at this moment. Every sword contained the power to break through the air and went straight to the vital point of the Lord of Shadows.

Qingshuang followed closely behind, using her lightness skills to the fullest extent, constantly interfering with the Shadow Lord's offensive and creating opportunities for Luo Chen.

Finally, after a fierce confrontation, Luo Chen found the right moment and pierced the Shadow Lord's chest with a sword.

A trace of unwillingness flashed across the black-robed man's eyes, and then he fell to the ground with a bang. A generation of heroes fell.

With the death of the Shadow Lord, the disciples of the Shadow Pavilion completely lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and others finally won the battle.

After the battle, there was jubilation throughout Baixiang City.

People came out of their homes to celebrate this historic moment.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang stood on the city wall, looking at the land that was once again shrouded in peace, their hearts filled with emotion.

"It's over, it's finally over." Qingshuang said softly.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, he turned to look at Qing Shuang, his eyes full of tenderness and determination: "Yes, it's over, this matter is over, we can leave White Elephant City and continue our journey."

When Qingshuang heard this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose. She looked into the distance, feeling both relieved and expectant.

During this period of time, they fought side by side and experienced countless life and death tests. The friendship between them has long surpassed that of ordinary partners.

Now that the threat from the Shadow Pavilion has finally been lifted, it is indeed time for them to embark on a new journey.

"Luo Chen, where do you think we should go next?" There was a hint of longing in Qingshuang's voice. She was eager to know what kind of scenery was waiting for them in the future.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, his eyes gleaming with thought. "Well, the world is so big, there are all kinds of things. No matter where we go, as long as you are with me, it will be the best journey."

When Qingshuang heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She turned to look at Luo Chen, and their eyes met in the air. There was no need for words, their feelings for each other were self-evident.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to evening.

The lights in Baixiang City were bright at this time.

Many people, as well as the government, were celebrating their victory.

However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not participate.

At this moment, the two of them were staying quietly in the courtyard, sitting quietly under the stone pavilion.

Enjoying the tranquility of the moment. (End of this chapter)
