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

The three of them quickly dodged and prepared to deal with new threats that might arise.

Just then, a deep voice echoed in the cave, "How dare you mortals destroy my residence."

The three of them looked up and saw a huge figure slowly walking out from the depths of the cave.

This figure was even larger than the previous ghost, and exuded a suffocating aura.

"What is this?" There was a slight tremor in Hongling's voice.

"I am the lord of the Nether Valley. How dare you ants disturb my sleep?" The figure's voice was like thunder, causing pain in the eardrums of the three people.

Luo Chen tightly grasped the Silver Moon Ice Blade. He knew that this opponent was much stronger than the previous ghost.

“We have to join forces, otherwise we can’t beat it.”

Hongling and Qingshuang nodded. They knew that this was their last battle.

Luo Chen took the lead in launching an attack, and the Silver Moon Ice Blade emitted streaks of cold light, trying to freeze the figure's movements.

Hongling followed closely behind. Her swordsmanship was even more fierce, and each of her swords contained powerful spiritual energy.

Qingshuang once again used the secret technique of Tianji Locking to try to restrict the figure's movements.

However, the power of the Lord of the Nether Valley was far beyond their imagination. With a wave of his hand, he shook off Luo Chen's ice blade, and Hong Ling's sword energy was easily dissolved. Qingshuang's chains could not even touch his body.

"Your strength is too weak." There was contempt in the voice of the Lord of the Nether Valley.

The three were repelled by the force and knew they had to find a new way to fight this powerful enemy.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to communicate with the power in the Silver Moon Ice Blade.

Hongling and Qingshuang also prepared their own secret techniques. They knew that this was their last chance.

At this moment, Luo Chen felt a warm force coming from the Silver Moon Ice Blade. He opened his eyes and saw that the light of the Silver Moon Ice Blade was getting brighter and brighter, as if responding to his call.

"Let's attack together!" Luo Chen shouted, his body was surrounded by the light of the Silver Moon Ice Blade, and the whole person seemed to turn into a ray of light.

Hongling and Qingshuang also felt this power. They no longer hesitated and each used their strongest secret technique.

Luo Chen's Silver Moon Ice Blade was like a meteor cutting through the night sky, piercing straight into the heart of the Lord of the Nether Valley.

Hongling's sword energy was like a violent storm, overwhelming the enemy.

Qingshuang's chains were like a dragnet, trying to trap the Lord of the Nether Valley.

This time, their attack finally worked.

The Lord of the Nether Valley was pierced by the Silver Moon Ice Blade and let out a painful roar.

Hongling's sword energy and Qingshuang's chains also successfully restricted its movements.

Luo Chen knew that this was their only chance. He poured all his spiritual energy into the Silver Moon Ice Blade, which emitted a dazzling light, as if it could freeze everything.

"Break!" Luo Chen shouted, and the Silver Moon Ice Blade completely pierced through the body of the Lord of the Nether Valley.

The body of the Lord of the Nether Valley began to tremble, and its power quickly dissipated.

Finally, with an unwilling roar, it turned into a puff of black smoke and dissipated into the air.

Luo Chen, Hong Ling and Qing Shuang collapsed on the ground. They knew that the battle was finally over.

"It should be over now." There was a hint of fatigue in Luo Chen's voice.

Hongling and Qingshuang both nodded. They knew that this victory was hard-won.

The three of them rested for a while, then slowly stood up and prepared to leave this cave that was once full of dangers.

However, just as they were about to leave, a low laugh was heard again from the depths of the cave.

The three of them felt a tightness in their hearts; they knew that things were far from over.

"Do you think you can destroy me like this?" The voice was mocking, "I am the Lord of the Nether Valley. My power is beyond the imagination of mortals like you."

Luo Chen, Hong Ling and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that the next battle would be more difficult.

Luo Chen tightly grasped the Silver Moon Ice Blade, while Hong Ling and Qing Shuang also prepared their own weapons and secret techniques.

"We have no way out. We can only fight to the end." Luo Chen said firmly.

Hongling nodded, pointed the tip of her sword at the ground, and began to chant an ancient spell in a low voice.

Qingshuang closed his eyes, formed seals with his hands, and prepared to perform his most powerful sealing technique.

The figure of the Lord of the Nether Valley appeared before them again, this time it seemed more solid and its power seemed even stronger.

It slowly raised its hand, and a black energy wave spread out from its hand.

"Be careful!" Luo Chen shouted, and the three of them quickly dispersed to avoid the direct impact of the energy wave.

"Your struggle is in vain." The Lord of the Nether Valley's voice was full of disdain.

Luo Chen took a deep breath. He knew he had to use all his strength to have a chance of survival.

He raised the Silver Moon Ice Blade above his head, and an icy force surged out from the blade, forming a huge ice wall, trying to block the attack of the Lord of the Nether Valley.

Hongling and Qingshuang also launched attacks at the same time. Hongling's sword energy burned like flames, while Qingshuang's chains turned into lightning and attacked the Lord of the Nether Valley.

The Lord of the Nether Valley faced the joint attack of three people and simply waved his hand lightly to dissolve all their attacks.

Its power seemed endless, and every attack made Luo Chen and the others feel tremendous pressure.

"You are too weak, too weak!" The Lord of the Nether Valley's voice was full of contempt.

Luo Chen gritted his teeth, he knew he had to find the weakness of the Lord of the Nether Valley.

He closed his eyes, trying to sense the source of the other party's power.

In the chaos, he felt a faint light, which was the source of power of the Lord of the Nether Valley.

"The core of its power is in the heart!" Luo Chen shouted.

Hongling and Qingshuang immediately understood what Luo Chen meant, and they began to concentrate their attack on the heart of the Lord of the Nether Valley.

Hongling's sword energy became more concentrated, and Qingshuang's chains turned into sharp arrows, pointing directly at the target.

Facing the concentrated attack from the three people, the Lord of the Nether Valley finally showed a painful expression.

Its power began to fluctuate, no longer as stable as before.

Luo Chen knew that this was their chance. He poured all his strength into the Silver Moon Ice Blade, which emitted an unprecedented light, as if illuminating the entire cave.

"Break!" Luo Chen shouted, and the Silver Moon Ice Blade turned into a silver lightning and hit the heart of the Lord of the Nether Valley directly.

This time, the Lord of the Nether Valley could no longer resist. Its body began to collapse and turned into pieces of black fragments, eventually dissipating into the air.

Luo Chen, Hong Ling and Qing Shuang collapsed on the ground, having almost exhausted all their strength.

But this time, they knew that real victory had finally arrived.

"We did it..." There was a slight tremor in Luo Chen's voice.

Hong Ling and Qing Shuang both nodded, their eyes full of fatigue, but more of the joy of victory. The three of them rested for a while, then slowly stood up, ready to leave this cave that was once full of dangers.

They knew that this adventure would be the most unforgettable experience of their lives.

When they walked out of the cave, the sunlight shone on them, as if cheering for their victory.

They looked back at the cave, their hearts filled with emotion.

After leaving this place, the three of them found a quieter place and recuperated for a few days.

Until your condition is almost recovered.

Luo Chen and the other two then quietly set off on their journey.

Now that things in the Nether Valley are over, it’s time to return to the market town and the Tianji Pavilion.

There should be some rewards after completing the task, right?
The elder Xuanjizi of Tianji Pavilion is still waiting for them.

Luo Chen, Hong Ling and Qing Shuang set out on the journey back to Tianji Pavilion.

Along the way, they talked about the thrilling battle they had just experienced and the mysterious power of the Lord of the Nether Valley.

Luo Chen wondered in his heart what the source of the Lord of the Nether Valley's power was and why he was able to come back to life. This made him full of expectations for the books in the Tianji Pavilion, hoping to find some clues.

Hong Ling praised Luo Chen's Silver Moon Ice Blade highly. She believed that it was this magic that enabled them to finally defeat the Lord of the Nether Valley.

Qingshuang was taciturn, but his eyes revealed his deep respect for Luo Chen and Hong Ling.

"Luo Chen, are you really planning to go to Tianji Pavilion to find the answer?" Hong Ling asked.

"Yes, I always feel that the resurrection of the Lord of the Nether Valley is not accidental, and the source of its power must be hiding some secret." Luo Chen replied.

Qingshuang nodded, indicating that she agreed with Luo Chen's opinion.

The three of them continued to move forward, passing through dense forests and climbing over steep mountains.

During a break, Luo Chen took out a jade slip from his arms, which he accidentally found in the Nether Valley. There were some ancient words engraved on it. He handed it to Hong Ling and Qing Shuang, hoping that they could interpret it together.

"This seems to be a record about the Lord of Nether Valley." Hongling looked at the jade slip carefully.

"It seems we have to speed up. If the records on this jade slip are true, then the resurrection of the Lord of the Nether Valley may be related to some ancient ritual." Qingshuang said.

Luo Chen nodded, and they decided not to rest any longer and quickened their pace to Tianji Pavilion.

A few days later, they finally arrived at the market town where the Tianji Pavilion was located.

The market was still bustling with all kinds of goods on the stalls. The three of them did not stop and went straight to the Tianji Pavilion.

The gate of Tianji Pavilion was still magnificent. When Luo Chen and the other two walked into the pavilion, they were immediately shocked by the collection of books inside.

Elder Xuanjizi had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw that the three people were safe and sound, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes.

"You are back, it seems the mission has been completed." Xuanjizi said.

Luo Chen nodded and handed the jade slip of the Lord of Nether Valley to Xuanjizi.

Xuanjizi took the jade slip and after examining it carefully, his expression became solemn.

"The records on this jade slip are extraordinary. You have done a great job." Xuanjizi said, "The resurrection of the Lord of Nether Valley is indeed related to an ancient ritual. This ritual requires specific conditions to be completed."

"So what should we do next?" Hongling asked.

"You need to go to the Nether Valley, find traces of the ritual, and destroy it completely to prevent the Lord of the Nether Valley from resurrecting again." Xuanjizi said seriously.

Luo Chen and the other two looked at each other. They knew that this would be a more dangerous mission, but in order to completely solve the problem, they had no reason to retreat.

"We understand, Elder." Luo Chen replied firmly.

Xuanjizi nodded, took out three treasures from his arms, and handed them to Luo Chen and the other two.

"These are three amulets that can protect you at critical moments." Xuanjizi said.

Luo Chen and the other two took the amulet, saluted Xuanjizi again, then left Tianji Pavilion and set out on the journey to Nether Valley.

Three days later.

They were only a short distance away from the Nether Valley.

"Hmm? There seems to be a sound of fighting ahead. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Luo Chen frowned, he could feel that familiar cold breath, it seemed that the shadow of the Lord of Nether Valley had not completely dissipated.

Hongling and Qingshuang also noticed something strange. The three of them exchanged glances and decided to go and investigate.

"Be careful, there may be an ambush." ​​Luo Chen reminded in a low voice.

They tiptoed towards the source of the sound and saw a group of men in black besieging a woman.

Although the woman was very skilled, she was obviously overwhelmed and had multiple injuries on her body.

"Stop!" Luo Chen shouted, and the three of them immediately rushed into the battle.

Hongling's sword energy was like a rainbow, Qingshuang's chains were as flexible as snakes, while Luo Chen wielded the Silver Moon Ice Blade to repel the men in black one by one.

Seeing this, the woman took the opportunity to step aside and gasp for breath.

"Thank you all for your help," the woman said gratefully.

Luo Chen looked at her and saw that she had a pretty face and was wearing a lavender dress. Although she looked a little disheveled, she had an extraordinary temperament.

"Who are you? Why are you being besieged here?"

The woman sighed and said slowly: "My name is Hong Liu, and I am a disciple of a small sect nearby. Our sect accidentally discovered the secret of the Nether Valley, and ended up being hunted down by these men in black."

Luo Chen was shocked. The secret of the Nether Valley? Could it be related to the ritual they were looking for?

"Miss Hongliu, do you know the origins of these men in black?" Hongling asked.

Hongliu shook her head. "They never revealed their identities. They just kept hunting us down."

Qing Shuang was silent for a moment before speaking: "It seems that we have to act carefully. The situation in the Nether Valley may be more complicated than we thought."

Luo Chen nodded and decided to take Hongliu with him.

They needed more information, and red willow might be able to provide some clues.

"Miss Hongliu, can you take us to your sect? Maybe there are the clues we need." Luo Chen suggested.

Hongliu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay, but you must be careful, there may still be remnants of the men in black in the sect."

So, the four of them set out on the journey to the Hongliu Sect together.

Along the way, Luo Chen and Hong Liu had a very pleasant conversation. He found that Hong Liu was not only a martial arts expert, but also knew a lot about the affairs of the Nether Valley.

A few days later, they finally arrived at Hongliu's sect.

The sect was in a mess, obviously after a fierce battle.

Hong Liu led them to a secret study room, which contained the sect's ancient books and materials. (End of this chapter)
