"You...how is it possible..." Xue Wuhen's voice was intermittent, his body began to tremble, and blood-colored energy quickly drained from his body.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other and they knew that the battle was over.

They did not relax their vigilance but continued to maintain their fighting stance until Xue Wuhen's body completely collapsed, turned into a pool of blood, and disappeared on the ground of the cave.

"It's finally over." Qingshuang breathed a long sigh of relief. She put away her sword, looked around, and made sure there was no other danger.

Luo Chen nodded, walked to the stone platform, and carefully took out the crystal that was emitting a faint red light.

"This is the Blood Soul Crystal. We must bring it back to the Alliance as soon as possible."

Qingshuang also walked forward. She looked at the Blood Soul Crystal in Luo Chen's hand, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

"The Blood Vampire Clan has gone to such great lengths to find this thing. They must have some ulterior motive. We must handle this with caution."

The two of them put the Blood Soul Crystal away carefully and left the cave.

They knew that even though Xue Wuhen was stopped this time, the threat from the Blood Ghost Sect still existed.

They must bring this news and the Blood Soul Crystal back to the Alliance as soon as possible so that the elders can make further decisions.

After returning to the alliance headquarters, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were immediately summoned by the elders.

They reported in detail their encounters in the cave and the discovery of the Blood Soul Crystal.

"Well done!" an elder said approvingly, "With the Blood Soul Crystal, we may be able to find a way to stop the Blood Vampire Sect."

"However, we cannot let our guard down." Another elder added, "The Blood Vampire Sect is very powerful and they will not give up easily. We must strengthen the alliance's defense and continue to search for other secrets of the Blood Vampire Sect."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang nodded. They knew that this was a protracted battle that required the entire alliance to work together.

They decided to stay in the alliance and assist the elders in handling various affairs.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to participate in the alliance's defense work, while also looking for more information about the Blood Vampire Sect in the alliance's library.

They know that only by fully understanding the enemy can they better formulate response strategies.

At the same time, the alliance also began to contact other sects and individual cultivators to discuss countermeasures together.

They decided to set up a special operations team to track the movements of the Blood Vampire Sect and prevent them from obtaining any power that could threaten the world of immortal cultivation.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were selected as members of the special operations team. They received special training and began to carry out some high-risk missions.

Every time they returned from a mission, they would bring back some intelligence about the Blood Vampire Sect. Although this intelligence was not always exciting, it at least allowed the Alliance to understand more about the Blood Vampire Sect's actions.

In this way, another half month passed.

During this half month, the Blood Demon Sect seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

No matter how Luo Chen and Qingshuang tried to find information about the Blood Vampire Sect.

However, there was no effect at all.

This made Luo Chen feel a little disappointed.

Alliance headquarters, in a courtyard.

Luo Chen was lying leisurely on a throne.

Next to him was a cup of hot, steaming tea.

Luo Chen gently blew away the hot steam from the tea, but his heart was still unsettled.

The calm during this period made him feel a little uneasy. The sudden silence of the Blood Vampire Sect seemed to foreshadow that a bigger storm was about to come.

Qingshuang walked over from a distance, holding a piece of information he had just received in his hand, his brows furrowed.

"Luo Chen, take a look at this." Qingshuang handed the information to Luo Chen with a hint of worry in her voice.

Luo Chen took the information, quickly glanced through it, and his expression became solemn.

Intelligence shows that there have been many bloody massacres within the mortal dynasty forces in recent times.

In just one month, at least one million people have died.

Luo Chen put down the teacup in his hand, frowning. He realized that these events might be related to the Blood Vampire Sect.

"Are these massacres manipulated by the Blood Vampire Clan?" he asked in a deep voice.

Qingshuang nodded. "I have the same concerns. These massacres happen too frequently and without any obvious motive. It doesn't seem like the work of a common force."

Luo Chen stood up, his eyes determined, "We must find out the truth as soon as possible and stop the Blood Vampire Sect's conspiracy."

Qingshuang held the intelligence tightly in his hand. "I will go and inform the elders of the alliance. We need their support and resources."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took action immediately. They knew that time was running out and every moment of delay could put more innocent lives in danger.

They quickly convened members of the special operations team and began to develop a detailed action plan.

After the plan was completed, they began to go to the dynasties where the massacres had occurred to investigate.

Among them, the first dynasty to be investigated is the one.

That is the Xia Yan Dynasty.

In the Xia Yan Dynasty, the royal family’s surname was Xia.

It is located in the southeast of the world of immortal cultivation and is a mortal dynasty with a long history.

When Luo Chen and Qing Shuang arrived at the capital of the Xia Yan Dynasty, it was dusk. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the ancient city walls, adding a bit of tranquility and peace to this prosperous capital.

However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that beneath this apparent tranquility lay the conspiracy of the Blood Vampire Clan.

Without delay, they headed straight to the center of the imperial city to seek out officials from the dynasty to learn about the situation.

In the meeting hall of the imperial city, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang met the prime minister of the Xia Yan Dynasty, an elderly but vigorous old man.

"My two immortal masters, your arrival is just in time," the prime minister said respectfully, "The recent massacre has plunged the entire dynasty into panic."

Qing Shuang nodded and asked, "Prime Minister, can you explain the circumstances of the massacre in detail?"

The prime minister sighed and began to narrate: "These massacres happened very suddenly, without any signs. The victims were all ordinary people, and there was no trace of the murderer at the scene. The most puzzling thing is that these incidents seemed to happen at night, and after each incident, there would be a survivor, but these survivors seemed to have been brainwashed and knew nothing about the incident."

Luo Chen frowned, and after a moment's silence, he said, "It seems that these massacres are not ordinary criminal cases, but organized and premeditated actions. We need to go to the scene to check it out in person."

The prime minister nodded in agreement and arranged for an official to accompany Luo Chen and Qing Shuang to the nearest massacre site.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, led by officials, came to a remote village.

There is no longer the vitality of the past here, only the cold wind howling in the empty streets.

They walked into a damaged house and saw that the house was in a mess and there were traces of dried blood on the ground.

Luo Chen squatted down and carefully observed the marks on the ground, while Qingshuang closed his eyes and tried to sense the fluctuations of the spiritual energy around him. "There seems to be some kind of evil breath here." Qingshuang opened his eyes and said solemnly.

Luo Chen nodded, he stood up, looked around, and then said: "We have to find the survivor, maybe he can provide some clues."

Led by the officials, they found the survivor, a young farmer.

The farmer's eyes were filled with fear and confusion, and he obviously had not yet recovered from the horrific events of that night.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang patiently asked the farmer about what happened that night, and the farmer described the horrific scene of that night intermittently.

He spoke of strange dark shadows and a suffocating chill.

"Dark shadow?" Qingshuang frowned and asked, "Can you describe it in more detail?"

The farmer shook his head. He seemed horrified by the memory of that night and was unwilling to say more.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that these black shadows were most likely members of the Blood Ghost Sect.

They decided to spend the night in the village, hoping to find more clues.

It was late at night. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang lit a bonfire in an abandoned house and prepared to take turns to keep watch.

Qingshuang was sitting by the fire, holding a jade slip in her hand, studying something.

"Luo Chen, look at this." Qingshuang handed the jade slip to Luo Chen, on which was recorded a secret technique of the Blood Demon Sect.

Luo Chen took the jade slip and read it carefully, his expression becoming more solemn: "The secret technique recorded here can manipulate people's will and even control their behavior. If the Blood Ghost Sect really used this secret technique, then these massacres may be caused by them manipulating mortals."

Qing Shuang nodded, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "We must find the trace of the Blood Vampire Sect as soon as possible and stop their conspiracy."

At this moment, Luo Chen suddenly felt a strange fluctuation of spiritual energy.

He immediately stood up and signaled Qingshuang to stay alert.

"Someone is coming." Luo Chen said in a low voice.

They quickly put out the campfire and hid in the darkness.

After a while, several dark shadows appeared silently in the village.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang held their breath and observed the actions of these shadows. They searched everywhere, as if they were looking for something.

"They should be members of the Blood Demon Sect." Luo Chen said in a low voice.

Qingshuang nodded. She pulled out a piece of talisman paper from her waist and injected true energy into it. The talisman paper immediately turned into a golden light and flew towards one of the black shadows.

Golden light exploded in the air, illuminating the surrounding environment.

The shadows panicked and fled in all directions.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang chased after them quickly, they knew this was a rare opportunity to track down clues about the Blood Vampire Sect.

The two of them were like cheetahs walking at night, shuttling through the dark village, following the trail of black shadows.

"They went north!" Qingshuang whispered, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

Luo Chen nodded, and the two immediately changed direction and rushed towards the mountains and forests in the north.

The forests are densely covered with trees, and appear even more mysterious in the night.

They moved cautiously through the woods, fearing to alert any enemy lurking in the dark.

"Watch your step!" Luo Chen suddenly reminded, he found some unusual marks on the ground.

Qingshuang looked down and saw some strange symbols scattered on the ground. These symbols emitted a faint red light, as if guiding something.

"This is the symbol of the Blood Vampire Clan!" Qingshuang recognized these symbols. She had seen similar patterns in the alliance's information before.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang were more cautious. They knew that the appearance of the Blood Ghost Clan's mark meant that they were approaching the enemy's hiding place.

They followed the markings and went deeper into the forest.

After tracking for a while, they came to a hidden cave.

The entrance to the cave is covered by vines and weeds. If you don't look carefully, it would be difficult to find that there is an entrance hidden here.

"This is it." Luo Chen said in a low voice, he drew out his sword, the tip of the sword flashed with cold light.

Qingshuang was also ready for battle. She took out a piece of talisman paper from her arms, chanted a spell silently, and the talisman paper turned into a stream of light and flew into the cave.

There was a commotion in the cave, followed by a roar: "Who is it?!"

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that they had alarmed the enemies in the cave.

The two men no longer hesitated and rushed into the cave one after the other.

Inside the cave, several members of the Blood Vampire Clan were sitting in front of a stone platform, on which were placed some strange magical instruments and blood-colored crystals.

Seeing Luo Chen and Qing Shuang breaking in, they immediately stood up and assumed a fighting stance.

"How dare you, cultivators, trespass into our territory!" a member of the Blood Demon Sect shouted angrily.

Luo Chen sneered: "You evil heretics, who have committed many evil things, today is your doom!"

The battle was about to break out, and Luo Chen and Qingshuang engaged in a fierce confrontation with the members of the Blood Ghost Sect.

The cave was filled with sword energy, and the blood-colored energy collided with the true energy, making a deafening sound.

Luo Chen wielded his sword, golden light and blood-colored energy intertwined together. He was agile and each of his swords was aimed directly at the enemy's vital points.

Qingshuang was like a blue lightning, shuttling between enemies. Her swordsmanship was agile and deadly.

After a fierce battle, members of the Blood Ghost Sect fell one after another.

In the end, only one member of the Blood Vampire Clan who seemed to be the leader was left. He stood in front of the stone platform with a crazy light in his eyes.

"Do you think you can stop us like this? The Blood Vampire Clan's plan is unstoppable!" the leading member laughed wildly.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not answer, they knew it was useless to say any more to such a crazy enemy.

The two men launched a fatal attack at the same time, the sword light and blood energy intersected in the air, and finally defeated the leading member of the Blood Vampire Sect completely.

After the battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang checked the magic weapons and crystals on the stone platform and found that these items were all related to the secret techniques of the Blood Vampire Sect and were obviously tools used to control the will of mortals.

"I never thought that the Blood Vampire Sect would choose to start slaughtering mortals in order to strengthen itself. This method is truly evil!"

Luo Chen said.

Qingshuang nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "We must report these findings to the Alliance as soon as possible, and also warn other dynasties to prevent the Blood Vampire Sect's conspiracy from spreading further."

Luo Chen put away his sword and looked around. After confirming that he had not missed any clues, he turned to Qing Shuang and said, "Let's go back to the Alliance headquarters first. Things here have come to an end. I hope we can stop the Blood Vampire Sect's next move in time." (End of this chapter)
