"General Yuan, you guys stay outside to prevent anyone from escaping." Luo Chen said to Yuan Lie.

Yuan Lie nodded. He understood that his mission was to ensure that no one from the Blood Vampire Sect could escape from the cave.

He quickly ordered his soldiers to deploy at the entrance of the cave, forming a tight encirclement.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang carefully went deeper into the cave.

The interior of the cave was dark and damp, with moss growing on the walls. Occasionally, drops of water dripped from the top of the cave, making crisp sounds.

They walked along a narrow passage that ended in a huge stone door.

"This should be the core area of ​​the Blood Demon Sect." Qingshuang said in a low voice.

Luo Chen nodded, he reached out and gently pushed the stone door, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a spacious underground hall.

In the center of the hall, a huge blood-colored altar stood there, on the altar were placed various strange magical instruments and blood-colored crystals, similar to the items they found outside.

Around the altar, dozens of members of the Blood Vampire Clan were busy performing some kind of ritual.

A huge blood ball was floating above the heads of the Blood Vampire Clan.

The blood cells are black and red in color and smell extremely fishy.

Even, just by getting a little closer, Luo Chen could feel that his whole body was affected.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang quickly hid on both sides of the stone gate and observed the movements on the altar.

The members of the Blood Vampire Clan seemed unaware of their arrival and continued to perform the ceremony with full concentration.

The blood ball on the altar slowly rotated, emitting a disgusting stench, as if it was absorbing some kind of dark power.

"We must stop them as soon as possible." Luo Chen whispered, with a determination flashing in his eyes.

Qingshuang nodded, took out a talisman from her arms and prepared to launch an attack.

At this moment, the blood ball on the altar suddenly emitted an intense light, and the entire hall was shrouded in blood-red light.

"Oh no, they seem to have completed the ritual!" Luo Chen was shocked, he knew he couldn't delay any longer.

The two men attacked at the same time. Luo Chen waved the jade pendant, releasing a powerful wave of true energy, which hit the center of the altar directly.

Qingshuang threw the talisman into the air, and the talisman turned into a golden light and instantly hit the blood ball.

Under the attack of true energy and talismans, the blood ball exploded with a loud bang, and the blood-colored light dissipated in an instant.

The members of the Blood Vampire Clan were caught off guard by this sudden attack and fell to the ground one after another.

"Quick, catch them!" Luo Chen shouted loudly. He and Qingshuang quickly rushed into the hall and began to subdue the members of the Blood Vampire Sect.

After hearing Luo Chen's order, Yuan Lie and the soldiers immediately rushed into the hall and assisted Luo Chen and Qing Shuang in subduing the members of the Blood Demon Sect one by one.

The hall was suddenly thrown into chaos, and the members of the Blood Vampire Sect tried to fight back in panic, but facing the well-trained soldiers and two powerful cultivators, their resistance seemed insignificant.

Luo Chen discovered during the battle that although these Blood Demon Sect members were subdued, their eyes still revealed a kind of madness and despair.

He realized that these people might not have joined the Vampire Cult completely voluntarily, but were controlled by some evil force.

Luo Chen secretly made up his mind to find a way to break this control.

After the battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to interrogate the captured members of the Blood Vampire Clan.

They found that most of these members came from nearby villages and were lured or coerced into joining by the Vampire Cult through various means.

One of the members who looked older, named Li Ergou, seemed to know something about the internal situation of the Blood Ghost Sect.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang took Li Ergou aside and tried to get more useful information from him.

"Li Ergou, since you know so much, why do you still get involved in such evil things?" Qingshuang said with a hint of blame in her tone.

Li Ergou sighed, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "I was originally a hunter in a nearby village. The people of the Blood Ghost Sect found me and said that if I didn't join them, they would kill my whole family. In order to protect my family, I had to obey their orders."

When Luo Chen heard this, his heart softened. He understood that Li Ergou was also one of the victims.

"Li Ergou, don't worry, we will protect your family. Now we need you to tell us more secrets of the Blood Vampire Sect."

Li Ergou nodded and began to describe in detail the internal structure of the Blood Ghost Sect and their plans.

He mentioned that the real leader of the Blood Vampire Sect was a mysterious figure called "Blood God", whose strength was unfathomable and whose actions were extremely cruel. Most of the members of the Blood Vampire Sect were just executors, and only a few high-ranking officials truly mastered the core secrets.

After hearing what Li Ergou said, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt even heavier in their hearts.

They realized that in order to completely destroy the Blood Vampire Sect, they had to find this so-called "Blood God".

"Li Ergou, do you know where the Blood God usually moves around?" Luo Chen asked anxiously.

Li Ergou shook his head: "The Blood God's whereabouts are mysterious. I have never seen him, but as far as I know, the Blood Ghost Sect has a secret underground palace. That is their core area. The Blood God should be there."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that this might be their only clue to finding the Blood God.

But how to find the mysterious underground palace?

This is another big problem.

"Do you know where the underground palace is?"

Luo Chen asked in a low voice.

Li Ergou shook his head silently.

Li Ergou’s head shaking made Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s hearts sink, but they did not give up.

They knew that since most of the members of the Blood Vampire Sect came from nearby villages, someone in these villages might know some clues.

"We need to go to the nearby villages to investigate," Qingshuang suggested, "Maybe someone has seen members of the Blood Vampire Sect entering and leaving a certain place, or has heard of something unusual."

Luo Chen nodded in agreement. "That's right. We can't let go of any possible clues. Li Ergou, can you take us to your village?"

Li Ergou hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay, I'll take you there, but you have to promise not to hurt my family."

"Don't worry, we won't hurt innocent people." Luo Chen promised.

So, Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Yuan Lie took a few soldiers and followed Li Ergou to a nearby village.

The village is not big, with only dozens of households. The villagers seemed a little nervous when they saw a group of strangers, especially the soldiers in military uniforms.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to ask from house to house. They tried to speak to the villagers as gently as possible, attempting to allay their concerns.

After some effort, they learned that some villagers did occasionally hear strange noises coming from the depths of the forest at night, and some even saw strange red lights in the moonlight.

"Could that red light be the entrance to the Blood Demon Sect's underground palace?" Qingshuang whispered to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, "It's possible, but the entrance to the underground palace must be well hidden. We have to find that place."

They decided to stay overnight in the village to observe the strange phenomena at night.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, under the guidance of Li Er Gou, quietly sneaked into the forest. Under the moonlight, the forest seemed particularly quiet, with occasional calls of night birds.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang held their breath and carefully observed the movements around them.

Suddenly, Qingshuang pulled Luochen's sleeve and pointed to a valley not far away, "Look over there, there is a red light!"

Luo Chen looked in the direction Qingshuang pointed, and sure enough, he saw a faint red light flickering in the valley.

The two looked at each other and decided to approach quietly.

They moved cautiously through the woods, the red light becoming more and more obvious.

As they approached the valley, they discovered that the red light was emanating from a hidden cave.

There were no markings around the cave entrance, but the red light seemed strange and eerie.

"It should be right, probably this is it." Luo Chen whispered, "We have to be careful, there may be a trap at the entrance to the underground palace."

Qingshuang nodded, took out a piece of talisman paper from her arms and chanted a spell in a low voice.

The talisman paper burned in her hand, emitting a light blue glow, illuminating the cave entrance.

The two of them slowly walked into the cave entrance, where there was a stone staircase extending downwards.

They walked down the stone steps carefully. The further they went, the stronger the red light became and the stronger the fishy smell in the air became.

Finally, they came to a huge underground space.

In the center of the space, there is a huge pool of blood, with bubbles constantly coming out of the blood pool, making gurgling sounds.

Various strange magical instruments and talismans were placed around the blood pool, and the whole space was filled with an unsettling atmosphere.

"Is this the underground palace of the Blood Demon Sect?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice.

Luo Chen nodded, his eyes fell on a stone platform in the middle of the blood pool, where there was a figure in a blood-red robe with his back to them.

"Is that the Blood God?" Luo Chen said in a low voice.

Qingshuang gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, ready to strike at any time.

The two of them slowly approached the blood pool. The Blood God seemed to notice their arrival and slowly turned around.

The Blood God's face was extremely pale, and his eyes were like two bottomless black holes, exuding a chilling aura.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a strange smile, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Welcome to my realm, cultivator."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.

"Blood God, your evil deeds have been exposed. Today is your doom!" Luo Chen said loudly, waving the magic beads in his hand, preparing to launch an attack.

The Blood God seemed not to care. He waved his hand lightly, and the blood in the blood pool suddenly surged up, forming a blood-colored barrier that blocked the power of Luo Chen's magic bead.

The Blood God sneered, "Naive people, you don't understand the power of my Blood Ghost Sect at all!"

Seeing this, Qingshuang immediately threw out a talisman, which turned into a golden light and hit the Blood God directly.

However, the Blood God's figure suddenly became blurred, and the golden light penetrated his body without causing any harm.

"Your power is nothing but child's play to me." The Blood God's voice was full of disdain.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were shocked. They realized that the Blood God's strength was far beyond their imagination.

They must find the Blood God's weakness, otherwise it will be difficult to win.

"Do you think you are the only ones who can use magic?" The Blood God taunted. He began to chant spells, and the blood in the blood pool surged again, forming blood-colored runes.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a powerful force gathering, and they knew they had to take action immediately.

Luo Chen took out a piece of golden talisman paper from his arms. This was the life-saving talisman left to him by his master, and it was said to be able to resist all evil magic.

"Qingshuang, step back!" Luo Chen shouted and threw the golden talisman paper into the air.

The golden talisman paper burned in the air, emitting dazzling light, forming a huge golden light shield that enveloped Luo Chen and Qingshuang.

The Blood God's spell was completed, and blood runes attacked Luo Chen and Qingshuang like a rainstorm, but the golden light shield blocked all the attacks.

Seeing this, the Blood God's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure, "It seems that you have some skills."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. They attacked at the same time. Luo Chen waved the magic beads and Qingshuang threw out the talisman. The two forces combined into one, forming a powerful attack that rushed straight towards the Blood God.

The Blood God's expression remained calm in the face of this power.

It was as if these powers were nothing more than a drizzle to him.

It won't do him any harm.

The Blood God waved his hand lightly, and blood-colored mist floated out from his fingertips, colliding with the attacks of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, making a muffled sound.

The mist and light intertwined and eventually dissipated into the air without causing any harm to the Blood God.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that this battle was much more difficult than they had imagined.

The Blood God's power is unfathomable, and they must be more cautious.

"Do you think you can compete with me like this?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the Blood God's voice, "You underestimate the power of the Blood Demon Sect."

Luo Chen took a deep breath. He knew he had to calm down and look for the Blood God's weakness.

He looked around and noticed that the blood constantly surging in the blood pool seemed to have some connection with the Blood God.

"Qingshuang, we have to find a way to cut off his connection with the blood pool." Luo Chen said in a low voice.

Qingshuang nodded, took out a string of silver bells from her waist and started shaking them.

The bell made a clear and pleasant sound, but it contained powerful magic power, forming ripples that attacked the Blood God.

The Blood God frowned slightly, obviously surprised by this power.

He waved his hand again, and the blood-colored barrier appeared again, trying to block the bell's attack.

Luo Chen took the opportunity to take out a bronze dagger, which was a treasure he obtained during his early travels. It was said that it could cut off all evil spirits.

He gripped the dagger tightly, chanting an ancient spell, and the dagger began to emit a dazzling light.

"Kill the evil!" Luo Chen shouted, and the short sword flew out of his hand, turning into a stream of light that pierced the Blood God.

Upon seeing this, the Blood God finally revealed a trace of solemnity.

He formed seals with his hands, and the blood in the blood pool churned up and formed a huge blood-red vortex, trying to swallow the dagger.

However, the dagger seemed to have its own will. It shuttled through the vortex and finally broke through the blood-colored barrier and hit the Blood God's chest directly.

The Blood God groaned and his body trembled slightly, obviously hurt. (End of this chapter)
