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

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that they had to leave here immediately.

They quickly fled the temple, and when they were safely outside, the entire temple collapsed with a loud bang, and dust flew everywhere.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang smiled at each other, they knew that they had succeeded again this time.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood on the ruins, looking at the temple that was once full of evil aura turned into rubble, and a complex emotion surged in their hearts.

They knew that although they had stopped the black-robed man's conspiracy this time, the deep-rooted nature of this organization was far from being eradicated overnight.

"We need to find a place to rest and then study the secret book carefully."

Luo Chen suggested, a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Qingshuang nodded, a hint of fatigue in her eyes, "Yes, we need to understand their secrets so that we can better fight them."

The two found a relatively safe cave, lit a bonfire, and began to study the tattered book they got from the temple.

The pages of the book were yellowed and the words on them were ancient and obscure, but Luo Chen and Qing Shuang both had a certain amount of knowledge, and they began to interpret it word by word.

"Look here," Qingshuang pointed to one of the pages and said, "This seems to be a summoning ritual, but it requires specific conditions to succeed."

Luo Chen took a closer look, frowning, "These conditions seem very harsh, and require some extremely rare materials."

They continued reading and found that the book also recorded some information about the history and purpose of the Black Robe Organization.

It turns out that this organization is called "The Shadow Cult". They believe in an ancient evil god and attempt to release its power through summoning rituals to change the order of the world.

"What they want is not just power," Luo Chen said in a deep voice, "What they want is chaos in the entire world."

Qingshuang clenched her fists. "We must stop them, Luo Chen. We can't let them succeed."

Luo Chen nodded. He understood that this was a struggle concerning the fate of the world and they could not relax at all.

In the next few days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang rested while continuing to study the secret book.

They found some possible clues pointing to other strongholds of the Shadow Cult.

They decided that the next course of action would be to head to these strongholds and disrupt their plans as much as possible.

"Let's go to the nearest stronghold first," Luo Chen pointed to a mark on the map and said, "This seems to be an abandoned mine. They may be conducting secret activities there."

Qingshuang nodded in agreement, and the two packed their bags and set out on their journey again.

They passed through dense forests, crossed rugged mountains, and finally arrived at the abandoned mine.

The entrance to the mine was blocked by some tattered wooden boards. Luo Chen and Qingshuang carefully moved the boards away and entered the mine.

It was dark and damp inside, and the air was filled with a musty smell.

They went deep into the mine and found some crude facilities and some abandoned tools.

Suddenly, Qingshuang stopped and she heard some faint sounds.

"Someone is talking." Qingshuang said in a low voice.

Luo Chen signaled her to keep quiet, and the two of them quietly approached the source of the sound.

They found a small room where several men in black robes were discussing something.

"We must speed up the ceremony," one of the black-robed men said, "The higher-ups in the cult are getting impatient."

"But we still need more sacrifices." Another man in black robe replied.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that these men in black robes were planning another ceremony.

They have to stop them.

Luo Chen quietly drew out his sword, and Qingshuang also tightly grasped the staff.

They got ready and suddenly burst into the room.

"You evil people, today is your doom!" Luo Chen shouted and launched the attack first.

The black-robed people were startled by the sudden attack, but they quickly reacted and began to fight back.

The battle broke out again. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang relied on their tacit cooperation and firm will to fight the black-robed man hard.

"You can't stop our plan!" a man in black robe shouted wildly, a ball of dark energy condensed in his hands.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not back down. They knew that this was a challenge they had to face.

They continued to fight, each attack filled with determination.

In the end, with a clever combination of skills, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang successfully defeated all the men in black robes.

Peace returned to the mine again.

They examined the body of the black-robed man and found some important documents and maps, which were crucial to understanding the full picture of the Shadow Cult.

"We have obtained some more clues," Luo Chen said, "We are one step closer to completely destroying them."

Qingshuang nodded, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, "Yes, Luo Chen, we can't let them continue to do evil."

They carefully gathered the documents and maps and prepared to leave the mine.

Before leaving, Luo Chen noticed some strange symbols carved on the walls of the mine, and he curiously moved closer to observe.

"These symbols..." Luo Chen whispered to himself, trying to decipher their meaning.

Qingshuang also came over. She gently touched the symbols with her fingers, feeling their texture.

"These symbols appear to be an ancient writing system, possibly related to the rituals of the Shadow Cult."

Luo Chen nodded, "We need to find someone knowledgeable to interpret these symbols. Maybe we can find more secrets about them."

They decided to leave the mine first and find a safe place before making any plans.

On the way back, Luo Chen and Qingshuang discussed the next plan.

"We have to be careful," Luo Chen reminded, "The Shadow Cult's influence is spread all over the place, we can't easily expose our whereabouts."

Qing Shuang nodded in agreement, "We can go to the nearby village first. There should be the clues and help we need there."

They arrived at a small village where the villagers seemed to be living a peaceful life.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang asked around in the village, trying to find someone who could decipher the ancient characters.

In the village, they met an elderly scholar who claimed to be well-versed in ancient characters.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang showed him the documents and symbols they got from the mine.

The scholar studied it carefully, then looked up with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"These symbols are indeed related to an ancient ritual that is designed to summon a powerful being, but its power is enough to destroy the entire world." Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt depressed after hearing this. They knew that the Shadow Cult's plan was more dangerous than they thought.

"We must stop them," Luo Chen said firmly, "We can't let them complete this ritual."

The scholar nodded and said, "I can help you decipher these symbols, but you need more help. This task is too difficult and cannot be completed by the two of you."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang accepted the scholar's advice and decided to go to nearby towns to find more allies.

In the town, they met some like-minded practitioners who were willing to join their team to fight against the Shadow Cult.

Together they studied the information provided by the scholars and developed a detailed plan.

They knew that the coming battle would be extremely difficult, but they also understood that this was a responsibility they had to bear.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the newly joined practitioners and began an adventure into the core of the Shadow Cult.

They traveled through forests, crossed mountains, and finally arrived at the headquarters of the Shadow Cult, an ancient castle shrouded in darkness.

The entrance to the castle was guarded by a group of men in black robes. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the team and engaged in a fierce battle with the guards.

During the battle, they constantly used tactics and coordination to gradually weaken the guards' strength.

Eventually, they managed to break through the guards and enter the castle.

Inside the castle, they encounter even more dangerous enemies, including some powerful dark creatures and high-ranking members of the Black Robes.

In every battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang have to be more careful and cautious.

They knew that any mistake could lead to the destruction of the entire team.

In a battle with a senior member of the Black Robe Men, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were almost in a desperate situation.

Just when they were about to be defeated, Qingshuang suddenly remembered an ancient defensive spell taught to them by a scholar.

She chanted a spell quickly, and a beam of light shot out from her staff, forming a protective shield that protected them and the rest of the group.

The attack of the senior member of the black robe was successfully blocked, and Luo Chen seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack.

He used his swordsmanship to cleverly bypass the opponent's defense and eventually defeated the senior member of the black robes.

After the battle, they continued to go deeper into the castle, looking for the location of the summoning ceremony.

In the deepest part of the castle, they found a huge altar with some strange objects and symbols on it.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that this was where the Shadow Cult performed their rituals.

They must destroy the altar before the cult can complete the ritual.

They fought the final decisive battle with the remaining men in black robes.

The battle was extremely fierce. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang relied on their courage and wisdom and finally succeeded in destroying the altar.

As the altar collapsed, the entire castle began to shake violently.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the team to evacuate quickly. When they left the castle safely, the entire castle collapsed and turned into ruins.

They stood on the ruins, looking at the castle that was once full of evil reduced to rubble, and a feeling of victory welled up in their hearts.

"It's finally over."

Luochen said with a smile.

Qing Shuang nodded, her eyes gleaming with determination, "This matter is really extremely dangerous, fortunately there are many practitioners acting with us."

Luo Chen looked around at the practitioners who were fighting alongside them, his heart filled with gratitude.

"We have to thank you, without your help we would not have been able to succeed."

The practitioners responded one after another, saying that this was their common victory and that everyone had contributed.

They began to celebrate with each other, sharing their joy and relief after the battle.

"We need to find a place to rest," Qingshuang suggested, "After going through so much, everyone needs to recover their strength."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the team through the ruins and walked towards the village in the distance.

They knew that although the threat of the Shadow Order had been resolved, their mission was not yet completely over.

They need to ensure that the village and surrounding areas are no longer disturbed by any evil forces.

On the way back, Luo Chen and Qingshuang talked with the practitioners in the team, sharing their experiences and stories with each other.

Everyone was exhausted from the adventure, but also filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Do you know?" A practitioner named Wind Walker said, "I once heard the legend of the Shadow Cult by chance. At that time, I thought it was just an absurd story, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Qing Shuang smiled and responded: "The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. What we have seen and heard is just the tip of the iceberg. It is because of brave people like you that we can defeat evil time and time again."

Luo Chen was more thoughtful: "This victory is only temporary. Although we have defeated the Shadow Cult, their remnants may still be there. We must remain vigilant to prevent them from causing trouble again."

Everyone in the team nodded in agreement.

They knew that although the battle was over, their responsibility and mission were far from over.

When they returned to the village, the villagers gave them a warm welcome.

The village chief personally came out to greet them and thank them for all they have done for the village.

"You are our heroes," the village chief said excitedly, "without you, we may never be able to get rid of the shadow of the Shadow Cult."

Luo Chen responded modestly: "This is what we should do. Protecting innocent people is our responsibility as practitioners."

Qing Shuang suggested: "Village Chief, we hope to stay here for a while to help you rebuild your home. At the same time, we can monitor the surrounding movements to ensure that there are no remnants of the Shadow Cult."

The village chief nodded gratefully and said, "We very much welcome your help. Your arrival has filled this village with hope again."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang arranged the practitioners in the team to act separately, some helped rebuild houses, and some patrolled around the village to ensure safety.

They themselves began to look for possible clues in the village to prevent the remnants of the Shadow Cult from appearing again.

As the days passed, the village gradually returned to its former tranquility and prosperity.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also established a deep friendship with the villagers.

They found that although the practitioners possessed extraordinary powers, they also learned a lot from contact with the lives of ordinary people.

One evening, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang sat in the village square, watching the children playing in the sunset.

Qingshuang said softly: "Luo Chen, have you ever thought about what it would be like if we were not cultivators but ordinary people living here?" (End of this chapter)
