Inside the hall, the vibration of the sarcophagus gradually subsided, leaving only dead silence.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other, and both saw a hint of fatigue and relief in each other's eyes.

They knew that although the battle was difficult, they would win in the end.

"Luo Chen, are you okay?" Qingshuang asked with concern, with a slight tremor in her voice.

Luo Chen shook his head and slowly put away the sword in his hand. "I'm fine, just a little tired. How about you?"

Qing Shuang smiled softly. Although there was a hint of fatigue in her smile, it was more of the joy after the victory. "I'm fine too. I just didn't expect that we could defeat such a strong enemy."

The two men walked slowly towards the sarcophagus, only to see that the ancient armor and sword had turned to dust, leaving only some broken fragments.

Luo Chen reached out and gently touched the edge of the sarcophagus, feeling the vicissitudes of history.

"Qingshuang, tell me, why is this Thousand Faces Master sleeping here?" Luo Chen asked curiously.

Qingshuang shook her head. "The ancient books don't record much about him. They just say that he was once a giant in the magic world, possessing endless magic power and the art of transformation. As for why he is sleeping here, perhaps only he himself knows."

Luo Chen nodded, but he was still a little confused.

He looked around, trying to find some clues. At this moment, his eyes fell on a corner of the sarcophagus, where some vague words seemed to be engraved.

"Qingshuang, look here." Luo Chen said, pointing at the words.

Qingshuang took a closer look and saw that although the words were blurry, she could vaguely make out that they were an ancient spell.

"This seems to be some kind of sealing spell. Could it be that..."

"Could it be that the Thousand Faces Master is sealed here?" Luo Chen continued.

Qing Shuang nodded, "It's very likely that, for some reason, the power of the seal weakened, so he was able to wake up."

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then said: "Anyway, we should leave here first. This place always feels a little ominous."

Qingshuang nodded in agreement, and the two prepared to leave the mysterious hall.

However, just as they turned around, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from the other end of the hall.

The two men immediately became alert, Luo Chen drew his sword, and Qingshuang tightly grasped the only remaining piece of talisman paper.

They walked cautiously towards the source of the sound, only to see a figure slowly walking out of the darkness.

He was a young man wearing a green robe. He had a handsome face, but there was a hint of imperceptible melancholy in his eyes.

When he saw Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, he was slightly stunned, and then he gave a gentle smile.

"Don't be nervous, you two. I mean no harm." The man said softly.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw a hint of wariness in each other's eyes.

Luo Chen asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man smiled slightly, "My name is Feng Qing, I am also from the Tianji Pavilion, so I can barely be considered one of our own. I was really surprised that you were able to defeat the Thousand Faces Master."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang heard this, they did not completely let down their guard, but they did not launch an attack immediately either.

They knew that in an organization as complex as the Tianji Pavilion, people's minds were unpredictable and they had to be cautious.

"Feng Qing? Someone from Tianji Pavilion? Then why are you here?"

Qingshuang asked doubtfully, with a hint of question in her voice.

Feng Qing sighed softly, as if he was not surprised by the two people's vigilance.

"I came here to track down the Thousand Faces Master. The Thousand Faces Master is a powerful demon. His awakening is a big threat to the Tianji Pavilion and the entire cultivation world. I originally thought that with my strength, I would be able to deal with him, but I didn't expect..."

He shook his head and didn't continue.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang could hear the helplessness in Feng Qing's words. They knew that even in Tianji Pavilion, everyone had their own secrets and unspeakable things.

"You just said that the awakening of the Thousand Faces Master is a huge threat to the world of immortal cultivation. Could it be that he has accomplices?" Qingshuang asked.

Feng Qing nodded, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "Although the Thousand Faces Master is powerful, he does not act alone. Behind him, there is a demonic organization that we have not been able to completely eradicate. They use the power of the Thousand Faces Master to try to create chaos in the world of immortal cultivation."

Luo Chen frowned, he was well aware of the danger of the demonic organizations, every rise of which brought huge disasters to the world of immortal cultivation.

"So what should we do now? Although we have defeated the Thousand Faces Master, his accomplices may still be waiting in the dark for an opportunity to strike."

Feng Qing pondered for a moment, then said: "We first need to report the situation here to the Tianji Pavilion and let the Pavilion Master and other elders know.

At the same time, we must also be careful to avoid being discovered by other members of the Demonic Organization."

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that now was not the time to act like a hero and that she had to rely on the power of Tianji Pavilion to deal with this crisis.

"Then let's leave here first, find a safe place as soon as possible, and then contact Tianji Pavilion."

Luo Chen put away his sword. He believed in Qingshuang and Fengqing's judgment.

The three of them left this hall full of mystery and danger and walked towards the outside world.

On the way out, Luo Chen couldn't help but ask, "Feng Qing, you just said that you came here following the trail of the Thousand Face Master, so how did you find this place?"

Feng Qing smiled slightly, seeming to find Luo Chen's curiosity interesting.

"In fact, I also got some clues about the Thousand Faces Master by chance. These clues led me here, but I didn't expect you to arrive here before me."

After hearing this, Qingshuang couldn't help but feel confused.

"So, you don't have a complete grasp of the whereabouts of the Thousand Faces Master?"

"That's true," Feng Qing admitted. "The Thousand Faces Master's whereabouts are mysterious. I can only speculate based on some clues. But no matter what, we are lucky to be able to stop him."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang nodded. They knew that although the Thousand Faces Master had been defeated, this battle was only part of the whole struggle.

In the future, they may face more unknown challenges.

The three continued to move forward, passing through a series of desolate ruins, and finally arrived at a relatively safe town.

Here, they found an inn and settled down temporarily.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took a short rest in the inn, while Feng Qing was responsible for contacting Tianji Pavilion.

Not long after, he brought back the news.

"The Tianji Pavilion has learned of the situation here, and the Pavilion Master has sent people to provide support. We just need to wait for their arrival here."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a little relieved after hearing this. They knew that with the support of Tianji Pavilion, the next action would be more secure.

During the waiting process, the relationship between Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Feng Qing gradually became harmonious.

They began to share their experiences and insights into the world of immortal cultivation with each other.

"Luo Chen, why did you choose the path of cultivating immortals?" Qingshuang asked curiously.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, a hint of memory flashing in his eyes.

"I have been yearning for cultivating immortals since I was young. My family also has a tradition of cultivating immortals. I hope to reach a higher level through my own efforts and protect everything I cherish."

After hearing this, Qingshuang showed a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"Your ambition is truly admirable. I was given guidance by a senior by chance and have since embarked on the path of cultivating immortals."

Feng Qing listened on the side and also shared his own story.

"The reason why I cultivate immortality is because I want to explore the truth of this world. Tianji Pavilion gave me this opportunity, allowing me to access many unknown secrets."

The three of them smiled at each other. They knew that although the road to becoming an immortal was full of unknowns and dangers, as long as they persisted in their beliefs, they would be able to go further.

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the inn.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang immediately became alert. They knew that this might mean that support from the Tianji Pavilion had arrived, or that members of the Demonic Organization had discovered their whereabouts.

The three of them quickly stood up, ready to deal with any situation that might arise.

Luo Chen gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, Qingshuang held the talisman paper ready in his hand, and Feng Qing stood aside, ready to provide support at any time.

However, when they walked out of the inn, they found that the visitors were not members of the Demonic Organization, but the support team of Tianji Pavilion.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing the iconic attire of Tianji Pavilion and with a serious expression.

"I am an elder of the Tianji Pavilion, my name is Lin Qu. You have done a great job and successfully stopped the conspiracy of the Thousand Faces Master."

Elder Lin Qu said.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that now they could finally get some breathing space.

The appearance of Elder Lin Qu finally put Luo Chen and Qing Shuang at ease.

They knew that the arrival of the Tianji Pavilion's support team meant that they could temporarily put down the burden on their shoulders and leave the subsequent matters to more experienced seniors.

"Elder Lin Qu, we are deeply relieved that you can arrive in time." Luo Chen said respectfully.

Lin Qu nodded, his eyes swept across the three people, finally stopping on Feng Qing.

"Feng Qing, you did a good job. You were able to find the trace of the Thousand Faces Master in time and track him here. You have made a great contribution to the Tianji Pavilion."

Feng Qing smiled slightly and responded modestly: "This is what I should do, Elder Lin Qu. Although the Thousand Faces Master has been defeated, his accomplices are still a threat."

"Don't worry about this. The Tianji Pavilion has already laid a tight net and will never let the evil organization take advantage of it." Elder Lin Qu said in a firm tone, obviously full of confidence in the strength of the Tianji Pavilion.

Qing Shuang interrupted at this time: "Elder Lin Qu, what should we do next? Do we need to continue tracking down the accomplices of the Thousand Faces Master?"

Elder Lin Qu pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "You have done enough. The next matter will be handed over to Tianji Pavilion. What you need to do is to rest well and recover your physical and mental strength. After all, the road to immortal cultivation is long, and you still have a long way to go."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes.

They knew that what Elder Lin Qu said made sense. Immortal cultivators needed to stay in the best condition at all times in order to deal with crises that might occur at any time.

"Then we will follow Elder Lin Qu's arrangements next." Luo Chen said.

Elder Lin Qu nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and gave orders to the support team behind him: "You guys are responsible for setting up defenses around the town to ensure that it is safe. Everyone else follow me, we have some things to deal with."

Following Elder Lin Qu's order, the support team quickly took action, and the atmosphere in the town suddenly became tense and orderly.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Feng Qing were arranged to rest in the inn. The three of them sat around a wooden table and began to exchange their understanding and views on the world of immortal cultivation.

"Have you ever thought about why the path to becoming an immortal is so difficult?" Qingshuang suddenly asked, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Feng Qing pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The path of cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven. Between heaven and earth, there are laws that govern their operation. However, we cultivators try to break these laws and pursue a higher realm. Difficulties and obstacles in the process are naturally inevitable."

Luo Chen nodded in agreement: "Indeed, but it is precisely because of the difficulty that the path of cultivation is full of challenges and significance. Every breakthrough is a transcendence of one's own limits."

The three of them were discussing enthusiastically.

Before we knew it, night fell and the stars began to twinkle above the town, quiet and beautiful.

Just then, the door of the inn was gently pushed open, and a woman in simple clothes walked in.

She looked around, and her eyes finally fixed on the table where Luo Chen and the others were.

"Excuse me, are you from Tianji Pavilion?" the woman asked softly, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

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

Feng Qing stood up and responded politely: "We are indeed from Tianji Pavilion. What can I do for you?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, then took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Feng Qing.

"This is a letter that a senior asked me to pass on to the Tianji Pavilion. He said that this letter is very important and is related to the safety of the Xiuxian world."

Feng Qing took the letter and examined it carefully, and found that there was no mark on the envelope, which looked very ordinary.

He frowned slightly, but still thanked the woman politely: "Thank you for your help, we will pass the letter to the Pavilion Master."

The woman nodded, seemed relieved, then turned and left the inn.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the letter in Feng Qing's hand, their hearts full of doubts.

"Let's take a look at what's written in the letter first." Luo Chen suggested.

Feng Qing nodded, carefully opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

The three of them gathered together, staring intently at the contents of the letter.

The handwriting on the letter was neat and powerful, but the content made the three of them frown.

According to the letter, it turned out that a reclusive master had sensed an ominous aura spreading in the world of immortal cultivation, and this aura was inextricably linked to the Thousand Faces Master's accomplices.

The letter warned that if it was not stopped in time, it might cause an unprecedented disaster. (End of this chapter)
