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

Although the two of them came from different places and had different pasts, at this moment, their hearts were closely connected.

"Then, Qingshuang, let us keep moving forward. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must go on together." Luo Chen said firmly.

Qingshuang looked at Luo Chen, with a determined light in her eyes: "Yes, Luo Chen, no matter when and where, I will fight alongside you."

It was late at night and they both went to rest.

They know that when the sun rises tomorrow, they will embark on a new journey, face new challenges, and help more people in need.

Early morning hours.

After Luo Chen and Qing Shuang left the inn, they came to a red maple forest.

The scenery of the red maple forest is very beautiful.

The majestic breeze in the woods made the two people feel extremely comfortable.

"Young man, can you come over here for a moment?"

Suddenly, a somewhat old voice sounded beside Yu Luochen.

Luo Chen listened to the voice, but he did not take the initiative to step forward.

Instead, Qingshuang beside him had a hint of pity in her eyes and walked silently towards the source of the sound.

However, before Qingshuang could take a step.

Luo Chen blocked her way.

"Qingshuang, be careful." Luo Chen warned in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, trying to find the source of the sound.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen’s worries were not groundless.

On the path of practice, they have learned to be wary of anything unknown.

"Excuse me, where are you?" Qingshuang raised her voice and asked politely.

"Here, kid." The voice sounded again, and this time they were able to confirm that it came from behind a huge red maple tree.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang walked slowly towards the red maple tree, only to see an old man sitting under the tree. His face was covered with traces of time, but his eyes were shining with an extraordinary light.

"Old sir, what can you do for us?" Luo Chen bowed and asked respectfully.

The old man smiled and pointed to a stone slab in front of him, which had some strange symbols engraved on it.

"I am waiting for the destined person here. The fact that you can come here means that you are destined to be with this stone slab."

Qingshuang curiously approached the stone slab and carefully observed the symbols on it. "These symbols seem to contain some kind of power."

"Yes, this is an ancient inheritance stone tablet, which can give powerful power to those who are destined to have it." The old man slowly stood up. Although his movements were slow, he revealed an extraordinary demeanor.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They could feel the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from the old man.

"Old sir, why did you give this stone slab to us?" Luo Chen asked.

The old man sighed softly, "I am too old to continue guarding this stone slab.

And you, with your sense of justice and extraordinary cultivation, are the best candidates to inherit the legacy."

Qingshuang's heart moved, she knew that this might be an important opportunity on their path of cultivation.

"We are willing to accept this inheritance, but we don't know what the price is?"

The old man shook his head. "It doesn't cost anything. You just have to promise to use this power for justice, to protect the weak, and to maintain world peace."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded without hesitation and agreed to the old man's request.

The old man nodded with satisfaction. He reached out and gently touched the stone slab, which immediately emitted a soft light, enveloping Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

In the light, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a warm current flowing into their bodies. Their cultivation seemed to be improved in an instant, and their understanding of martial arts became deeper.

When the light faded, the old man disappeared, leaving only the stone slab lying quietly on the ground.

"Luo Chen, how do you feel?" Qingshuang asked with concern.

Luo Chen moved his body and felt the power filling his body. "I feel stronger than ever before. Qingshuang, how about you?"

Qingshuang nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "Me too, this inheritance is of great significance to us."

The two men bowed deeply again towards the place where the old man disappeared, expressing their respect and gratitude to him.

Afterwards, they continued their journey, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future and a firm belief in their practice.

They know that with the power of this heritage, they will be better able to help others and protect the world.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a place to rest in a quiet valley.

They lit a bonfire, sat around it, and shared their spiritual experiences with each other.

"Luo Chen, have you ever thought about what level we will reach in the future?" Qingshuang asked softly, looking at the dancing flames.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and replied: "I don't know what realm we will reach, but I believe that as long as we stick to our own path and keep working hard, one day we will stand at the pinnacle of cultivation."

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that the path Luo Chen was talking about was not just a path of cultivation, but also a path full of love and justice that they had walked together.

"Luo Chen, no matter what the future holds, I will walk side by side with you." Qingshuang said firmly.

Luo Chen looked at Qing Shuang, his eyes full of tenderness and determination, "Qing Shuang, me too."

It was late at night and the two of them returned to their tents to rest.

Before the two fell asleep, a strange and chilly wind suddenly blew.

Along with the cold wind came some strange noises.

This immediately made Luo Chen's vigilance reach its maximum.

"Something's not right."

Luo Chen spoke softly to Qingshuang, while he stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Qingshuang also felt the strangeness in the air. She nodded, stood up quietly, and stood side by side with Luo Chen.

"Let's go and take a look." Luo Chen suggested.

They walked carefully towards the source of the sound, trying to make no noise with every step.

As they approached, the strange sound became clearer and clearer, as if it came from the other side of the valley.

"Be careful, there may be a trap." Qingshuang warned in a low voice.

Luo Chen nodded, and he gently pushed aside the bushes in front of him with the tip of his sword, and a deserted village appeared before him.

The houses in the village were dilapidated and seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, but at this moment, there were a few dim lights flickering in them.

"Why is there someone here?" Qingshuang asked puzzledly.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing." Luo Chen replied. His intuition told him that there was some danger hidden in this place.

They continued walking until they reached the center of the village.

There, they saw a group of ragged people sitting around a fire, their eyes empty, as if they had lost their souls.

"These people..." There was a hint of trembling in Qingshuang's voice.

"They are controlled by some kind of force." Luo Chen asserted, his eyes scanning the surroundings sharply, trying to find the source of control over these people. Suddenly, a gloomy voice sounded behind them: "You shouldn't come here."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang turned around quickly, only to see a man in a black robe standing behind them with a strange smile on his face.

"Who are you?" Luo Chen asked in a deep voice.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you have stepped into my territory." The man in black robe said contemptuously.

"What did you do?" Qingshuang glared at the men in black robes. She could feel the pain in these people.

“I just let them experience real fear.” The man in black robe smiled proudly.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, they knew that they must stop this evil existence.

Luo Chen drew out his sword, pointing the tip of the sword at the man in black robe, while Qingshuang began to condense the spiritual power in his body.

"Come on, let me see what you can do." The man in black robe said provocatively.

The battle is about to break out.

Luo Chen's swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every sword strike was accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, while Qingshuang's spiritual power attack attacked the black-robed man like a violent storm.

However, the man in black robe seemed to be unconcerned about their attacks. There seemed to be an invisible barrier around his body that blocked all attacks.

"You are too weak." The man in black robe sneered.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that they had to change their strategy.

Luo Chen retracted his sword, took a deep breath, and began to adjust his breathing and internal strength.

Qingshuang also stopped gathering his spiritual energy and began to chant the ancient spell in a low voice.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this?" the man in black robe said disdainfully, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Luo Chen did not answer. He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on the tip of the sword.

The tip of the sword began to vibrate slightly, making a low humming sound.

Qingshuang's spell gradually became louder, and a light blue light began to appear around her, gradually condensing into a huge ball of light.

"Luo Chen, are you ready?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice.

Luo Chen opened his eyes, and a determined light flashed in his eyes. "I'm ready."

Qingshuang pushed the ball of light towards Luo Chen, and the ball of light drew a beautiful arc in the air. Luo Chen stretched out his hand, and the ball of light landed steadily on the tip of his sword.

The light on the tip of the sword suddenly became dazzling. Luo Chen shouted and pointed the tip of the sword at the man in black robe.

"Break!" Luo Chen shouted, and the light on the tip of the sword shot towards the man in black robe like lightning.

The black-robed man's face changed. He didn't expect Luo Chen and Qing Shuang to be able to perform such a powerful joint skill.

He hurriedly mobilized all his strength, trying to form a stronger barrier in front of him.

However, the combined skills of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were too powerful, and the light penetrated the barrier and directly hit the man in black robe.

The man in black robe let out a shrill scream, his body began to tremble violently, and then gradually dissipated into the air.

As the man in black robe disappeared, the people who were controlled gradually regained their senses.

They looked around blankly, not knowing what was happening.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the crisis had been resolved.

They went up to those people and helped them get their lives back to normal.

"Thank you, we don't know how to repay you." An old man who looked like the village chief said gratefully.

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head, "We don't need any repayment. As long as you are safe and sound, that will be the greatest gratitude to us."

"Oh, there is one more thing I think I need to tell you."

"Besides this place, there are several other places nearby that are just like this one."

The village chief's words made Luo Chen and Qing Shuang feel nervous. They realized that this might not be an isolated incident, but part of a larger conspiracy.

"Can you tell me in detail?" Qingshuang asked gently.

The old man sighed and began to narrate: "Recently, strange things have happened in some villages around us. People have disappeared for no reason, or, like us, have been controlled by some unknown force. We have tried to find the cause, but found nothing."

Luo Chen frowned, he felt that the seriousness of the matter was far beyond their imagination.

"We will definitely investigate it thoroughly, but now, you need to leave this place as soon as possible and find a safe place to take refuge."

"We have nowhere to go." There was helplessness and despair in the old man's voice.

Qingshuang looked at these helpless people with her heart filled with sympathy.

"Luo Chen, we can't just leave them like this."

Luo Chen nodded, he knew Qingshuang was right.

“Well, let’s help them find a safe place first, and then investigate these things.”

So, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the group of villagers through the barren valley and came to a safer town.

There, they arranged temporary shelter for the villagers and ensured their basic living needs.

"You wait here for us to come back, we will solve this problem as soon as possible." Luo Chen assured the villagers.

"Thank you, Luo Chen and Qingshuang." The villagers said gratefully.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang set out on their journey again. They decided to investigate the nearest village where something unusual had occurred.

"What do you think the reason is?" Qingshuang asked as they walked.

"I'm not sure, but these things happen too often to be coincidences," Luo Chen replied.

They came to the second village, where the situation was exactly the same as in the first village.

The houses are dilapidated and the villagers have empty eyes, as if they are controlled by some force.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked carefully through the village, trying to find the source of the control over the villagers.

They found that whenever night fell, a cold atmosphere would spread through the village.

"It seems that we need to wait until night to find clues." Luo Chen said.

As the night deepened, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang hid in the dark, waiting quietly.

Sure enough, when the night was deep and quiet, that cold aura appeared again, and it was even stronger than before.

They followed the scent and came to the central square of the village.

There, they saw a strange ceremony taking place, with several men in black robes surrounding a huge altar, chanting something.

"What are they doing?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice.

"It looks like some kind of sorcery." Luo Chen replied, with a flash of anger in his eyes.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to wait for the right opportunity. They knew that rushing forward would only alert the enemy. (End of this chapter)
