Luo Chen's magic bead had lost its luster and lay quietly in his palm, while there was still traces of undried blood on the tip of Qingshuang's sword.

They looked at each other, relief evident in their eyes.

"Qingshuang, you did a great job." There was a hint of fatigue in Luo Chen's voice, but more of it was admiration for Qingshuang.

Qing Shuang smiled gently, with a hint of bitterness in her smile, "Without you, I can't do it alone."

Luo Chen shook his head, "We are partners. Without you, I would not be able to get here."

The two were silent for a moment, then began to slowly walk out of the temple.

They knew that although the blood altar was destroyed, it would take time for Zhennan Prefecture to recover.

They needed to go back and tell the residents of Zhennan Prefecture the good news, letting them know that the darkness had passed and light had come again.

On the way back to Zhennan Prefecture, Luo Chen and Qingshuang talked about every detail of the battle. They recalled those thrilling moments and shared each other's fear and persistence.

"Luo Chen, have you ever thought about what would happen if we failed?" Qingshuang suddenly asked, with a hint of melancholy in her voice.

Luo Chen was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I have never thought about failure, because I know that once I fail, not only Zhennan Prefecture, but the entire Yuan Dynasty may fall into endless darkness."

Qingshuang nodded, she understood what Luo Chen said.

It was a huge responsibility on their shoulders, but fortunately, they succeeded.

When they finally returned to Zhennan Prefecture, the townspeople had already learned that the blood altar had been destroyed.

People poured into the streets, cheering and celebrating this hard-earned victory.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were surrounded by people, and they became heroes of Zhennan Prefecture.

The Lord of Zhennan Prefecture personally welcomed them, with a grateful smile on his face, "Luochen, Qingshuang, we will never forget everything you have done for Zhennan Prefecture."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang responded to people's praise modestly, they knew that this was what they should do.

They just did what they thought was right.

In the celebratory atmosphere, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also felt a little tired.

They decided to take a break for a while.

Then, go to the imperial city of the Yuan Dynasty and discuss these matters with the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty.

With the hospitality of the Lord of Zhennan Prefecture, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally had the opportunity to have a good rest.

They were arranged to stay in the most comfortable guest rooms in the mansion, enjoying the rare tranquility.

Luo Chen lay on the bed, looking at the blue sky outside the window, but his heart could not calm down.

Qingshuang sat by the window, playing with a jade pendant in her hand, which was a relic left to her by her mother.

There was a hint of melancholy in her eyes. She knew that although the blood altar had been destroyed, the threat of the Blood Demon Sect had not been completely eliminated.

She must become stronger to protect everything she holds dear.

Soon, another day passed.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, accompanied by the Palace Master, inspected Zhennan Palace.

The next day, people's faces were filled with smiles on the streets, children were running happily on the streets, vendors set up their stalls again, and the sounds of hawking could be heard one after another.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at all this and felt very relieved.

They knew that all this peace was earned with their sweat and blood.

During the inspection, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang met an old man.

The old man walked up to them with a cane, staggering, tears in his eyes.

He held Luo Chen's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, it is you who have brought life back to Zhennan Prefecture."

Luo Chen smiled and responded: "This is what we should do, old man. As long as the people of Zhennan Prefecture can be safe, our efforts will not be in vain."

Qingshuang listened quietly at the side, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew that her sword was not only for fighting, but also for protecting the hard-earned peace.

After staying in Zhennan Prefecture for a few days, Luo Chen and Qingshuang decided to set off for the imperial city of the Yuan Dynasty.

They knew that the threat from the Blood Vampire Clan had not been completely eliminated, and they needed to inform the royal family of the destruction of the Blood Altar and the Blood Vampire Clan's conspiracy so that they could take further action.

On the day of departure, residents of Zhennan Prefecture came to see him off, and they were very excited.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang rode their horses and slowly left Zhennan Prefecture.

On the way to the imperial city, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were in a low mood.

The trouble in Zhennan Prefecture of the Yuan Dynasty has been resolved.

But who knows, may the Blood Vampire Clan have more secret bases in other places?
"Luo Chen, do you think the royal family will believe what we say?" Qingshuang asked softly, with a hint of worry in her voice.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then replied: "We must convince them that the Blood Ghost Sect's ambitions extend far beyond Zhennan Prefecture. We must stop them."

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.

They had to make it clear to the royal family that if no action was taken, the entire Yuan Dynasty might be in danger.

On the way to the imperial city, they met all kinds of people.

Some are ordinary travelers, some are caravans, and some are practitioners like them who are traveling for a mission.

Every time they met, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang would listen carefully, trying to get more information about the Blood Ghost Sect from them.

One evening, when they stopped in a small village, an old woman told them about strange things that happened in a nearby town.

It is said that the residents there suddenly became extremely bloodthirsty and even began to attack their own relatives.

"This sounds like the method of the Blood Vampire Sect." Luo Chen said with a frown.

Qingshuang also felt uneasy, "We must go and take a look, maybe there are clues we need there."

The next morning, they hurriedly said goodbye to the village and headed towards the town the old woman had mentioned.

After a day's travel, they finally arrived at the town.

The scene before them shocked them: the streets were empty, the doors and windows of every household were closed, and occasionally a few shrill screams could be heard.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang entered the town carefully, and they found that the residents here were all affected by the blood altar of the Blood Vampire Sect, becoming violent and bloodthirsty. They must find a way to control the blood altar as soon as possible, otherwise the residents of the entire town will fall into madness.

After some searching, they discovered a blood altar hidden underground.

This altar is more complicated than the one in Zhennan Prefecture, and is covered with strange runes and mechanisms.

"We must be careful, the mechanisms here may be even more deadly." Luo Chen reminded.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.

They had to find a safe way to destroy the altar.

Luo Chen began to study the runes on the altar carefully, trying to find a way to crack them.

Qingshuang stood guard at the side in case any disciples of the Blood Ghost Sect suddenly appeared.

After some effort, Luo Chen finally found the key to crack the rune.

He began to activate the runes in a specific order, trying to reverse the power of the altar. As Luo Chen's runes were activated, the altar began to make a harsh sound, and the air around it seemed to begin to distort.

Qingshuang gripped the hilt of the sword nervously, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

Suddenly, the blood-red light in the center of the altar began to weaken, and the blood-red puppets around it fell down one after another.

Luo Chen knew that their efforts had finally paid off.

"Qingshuang, it's now!" Luo Chen shouted, and Qingshuang immediately swung his sword towards the core of the altar.

With a loud bang, the core of the altar was completely destroyed and the entire altar began to collapse.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickly evacuated the scene to avoid being injured by the collapsed altar.

When everything settled down, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the town that had returned to peace, and their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment.

They knew that another conspiracy of the Blood Vampire Clan had been crushed by them.

"Let's continue to the imperial city," Luo Chen said, "We must tell the royal family the news as soon as possible."

Qingshuang nodded.

Finally, after several days of trekking, they arrived at the imperial city of the Yuan Dynasty.

This magnificent city looked particularly magnificent in the afterglow of the setting sun, but Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery.

They went directly to the palace and asked to see the emperor.

After some waiting, they were finally received by the emperor.

The emperor sat in the magnificent hall, his eyes revealing a hint of fatigue.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang reported to the emperor in detail the conspiracy of the Blood Vampire Clan and everything they had experienced in Zhennan Prefecture and that town.

As the emperor listened to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's reports, his expression gradually became solemn.

He realized that the threat posed by the Blood Vampire Clan was far more serious than he had imagined.

"I didn't expect that the Blood Demon Sect would cause so many troubles in my Yuan Dynasty."

"Two immortal masters."

The emperor's voice echoed in the hall. His eyes stayed on Luo Chen and Qing Shuang for a moment, then he slowly said, "I will always remember your contributions to the Yuan Dynasty. The Blood Demon Sect's conspiracy must be completely eradicated. I will immediately order the guards of the imperial city and the troops in various places to pay close attention and never let the Blood Demon Sect take advantage of the opportunity again."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that this was exactly the result they expected.

The emperor's order will mean a nationwide search and crackdown, and the power of the Blood Vampire Clan will suffer an unprecedented blow.

"Your Majesty is wise." Luo Chen replied respectfully, "The Blood Demon Sect's power is deeply rooted. If we want to completely eradicate it, I'm afraid it will take more effort and time."

Qing Shuang then added: "Your Majesty, we suggest setting up a special team, led by us, to track down and eliminate the remaining forces of the Blood Vampire Sect. At the same time, we also need to treat and protect those people who have been affected by the Blood Vampire Sect."

The emperor nodded in agreement. "Very good. I will personally order the establishment of such a team. You two will be the leaders of this team. I will give you my greatest support."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang expressed their gratitude again.

After leaving the palace, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to form a team.

They selected some loyal and capable practitioners from the imperial city, and also sent messages to various places, inviting masters who were willing to serve the Yuan Dynasty to join.

A few days later, a team led by Luo Chen and Qing Shuang was officially established. They were called "Qingying Guard".

Each member of the Qingying Guard is extraordinary. They not only have superb martial arts skills, but also firm beliefs.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the Qingying Guards to leave the imperial city of the Yuan Dynasty.

They first returned to Zhennan Prefecture, where they had fought and where the Blood Vampire Clan had once been rampant.

They want to ensure that the residents of Zhennan Prefecture are no longer threatened by the Blood Vampire Sect.

In Zhennan Prefecture, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang met many people they had met before.

Together, they helped the residents of Zhennan Prefecture rebuild their homes, while also secretly searching for the remnants of the Blood Vampire Sect.

"Luo Chen, look over there." Qingshuang pointed to a hill in the distance, where some figures could be vaguely seen moving.

Luo Chen looked in the direction Qing Shuang pointed, frowning, "It seems that the remnants of the Blood Ghost Sect have not been completely eliminated."

The two decided to go and investigate in person.

They quietly approached the hill and found a small Vampire Clan stronghold hidden there.

There are not many people in the stronghold, but they are all core members of the Blood Vampire Sect.

"We must be careful and not let them escape." Luo Chen whispered.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew the importance of this operation.

If these core members of the Blood Vampire Sect are allowed to escape, they will bring even greater trouble to the Yuan Dynasty.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang made a detailed plan. They decided to use the cover of night, split up and sneak into the stronghold from different directions.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang sneaked into the Blood Ghost Clan's stronghold like ghosts.

They used their own skills to quietly take out the guards outside.

As they approached the core area of ​​the stronghold, they suddenly heard a loud noise.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and knew that the situation had changed.

They quickened their pace and quickly rushed into the core area.

It seemed that those people from the Blood Ghost Sect were meeting someone of higher status.

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes and looked around.

Then you can see an old man in a blood-red coat.

The old man had long blood-red hair and his face was full of wrinkles.

But the aura on his body should not be underestimated.

"Who could this person be?"

"A high-ranking member of the Blood Demon Sect?"

The reason why Luo Chen thought so was mainly because most of the people in the Blood Ghost Sect treated the old man with great respect.

It seemed as if he was afraid that if the old man was unhappy, something bad would happen.

"How did things go?"

"To what extent has the essence of blood been absorbed?"

The old man's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry an invisible pressure, making the Vampire Clan members present appear particularly nervous.

"Reporting to the elder, everything is going according to plan, and most of the blood essence has been collected." A disciple of the Blood Demon Sect answered tremblingly, with a slight tremor in his voice.

The old man nodded, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, as if evaluating their performance.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang hid in the dark, observing all this. They knew that this old man must be an important figure in the Blood Vampire Sect, and perhaps he was the clue they had been looking for. (End of this chapter)
