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

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that this sudden change was no accident.

The blood-red runes slowly rotated in the air, emitting an unsettling aura.

"What is this?" Qingshuang asked in a low voice, the tip of her sword pointing at the rune.

Luo Chen frowned and replied in a deep voice: "This rune seems to be related to the blood demon. We may not have completely dealt with him yet."

As they were talking, the rune suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and a powerful force shook Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and their team away again. When the light faded, they found that the blood-red rune had broken through the void.

Disappeared from their sight.

It was not until this moment that Luo Chen discovered it.

The reason why the Blood Demon Sect chose this place as their secret base, and even the Blood Demon's clone is located here.

There is no other reason, it’s probably because of the mysterious blood rune.

But unfortunately, the blood rune has already escaped.

I don't know where it went.
"Ugh!"

Luo Chen sighed helplessly, then got up from the ground, his eyes flashing with vigilance.

He knew that the appearance of this blood rune meant that they might have only touched the tip of the iceberg of the Blood Vampire Clan's conspiracy.

"Luo Chen, what should we do next?" There was a hint of worry in Qingshuang's voice.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then slowly said: "Let's return to Zhennan Prefecture first and report the situation here. The appearance of this rune may mean that the Blood Vampire Sect has other plans that we don't know about."

Qingshuang nodded.

They led the team and quickly left the mysterious ruins and returned to Zhennan Prefecture.

After returning to Zhennan Prefecture, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately summoned the top leaders of Qingying Guard and reported in detail their discoveries and encounters in the ruins.

After listening to their reports, the senior leaders of Qingyingwei fell into deep thought.

They knew that the Blood Vampire Clan's conspiracy was far more complicated and far-reaching than they had imagined.

"We must act immediately," said an older member of the Qingying Guard. "If the Blood Ghost Sect really possesses some powerful force, then the entire Yuan Dynasty may face unprecedented threats."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded, knowing that things would probably be even more troublesome next.

However, the intelligence basically ends here.

The Blood Demon Sect's stronghold on the Yuan Dynasty side was basically wiped out by Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

The mysterious blood demon and the blood rune, they had very little information about these two things.

I want to investigate, but I don't know where to start.

"As for the Yuan Dynasty, I'll leave it to you from now on."

"It's about time for Qingshuang and I to return to the Alliance. At the same time, we can also inform the top leaders of the Alliance of the information from the Yuan Dynasty."

After the meeting with the top leaders of Qingyingwei, Luo Chen and Qingshuang began to prepare to return to the alliance.

They knew that although the situation in the Yuan Dynasty was temporarily under control, the threat from the Blood Demon Sect had not been completely eliminated, especially the mysterious blood demon and blood runes, which made them worried.

"Qingshuang, we have to return to the alliance as soon as possible and report the situation here in detail to the top management." Luo Chen said as he packed his bags.

Qingshuang nodded, a firmness flashed in her eyes: "Yes, the Alliance needs to know the conspiracy of the Blood Vampire Sect."

After the two of them finished packing, they walked towards the city gate of Zhennan Prefecture.

Along the way, they met many residents of Zhennan Prefecture. These residents were full of gratitude to Luo Chen and Qingshuang, because because of their efforts, Zhennan Prefecture was able to break free from the shadow of the Blood Demon Sect.

After bidding farewell to the residents of Zhennan Prefecture, Luo Chen and Qingshuang set out on the journey back to the Alliance.

They know that the road ahead is still long, but as long as they work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome.

On the way back to the alliance, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang encountered some small-scale remnants of the Blood Vampire Sect, but they were easily dealt with.

These remnants seemed to be just on the run, without any organization or plan, which made Luo Chen and Qing Shuang feel slightly relieved.

"It seems that the Blood Demon Sect's power in the Yuan Dynasty has indeed suffered a heavy blow." Luo Chen said after a battle.

Qing Shuang nodded: "Yes, but this also means that they may become more crazy and dangerous, we must be careful."

After several days of trekking, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally returned to the alliance's headquarters.

The alliance's top brass warmly welcomed their return and immediately convened an emergency meeting.

At the meeting, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang reported in detail what they had seen and heard in the Yuan Dynasty, especially the part about the blood demon and the blood runes.

"We had never anticipated the existence of the Blood Demon and the Blood Rune." An elder of the alliance said solemnly, "We must immediately investigate and find their weaknesses."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also put forward their own suggestions: "We suggest sending an elite team to investigate the origin and purpose of the blood rune."

After discussion, the alliance’s top leaders finally agreed to their suggestion and decided that Luo Chen and Qing Shuang would personally lead the team.

"Your mission is to find out the secret of the blood rune and weaken the power of the Blood Vampire Sect as much as possible." The leader of the alliance said seriously.

After receiving the order, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to make preparations.

They knew that this would be a journey full of unknowns and dangers, but they also understood that only in this way could they protect the safety of the alliance and the Yuan Dynasty.

During the preparation period, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also took time out to visit the market town where immortal cultivators gathered.

They knew that this mission could be very dangerous, so they made some preparations in advance.

This is necessary, and it is also a way of taking responsibility for your own life.

There are a lot of immortal cultivators' markets near the alliance.

However, there are only a few of them that are relatively large in size.

This time, the immortal cultivators' market that Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were going to was a place called Baiwushan Market.

Baiwushan Market is one of the large markets nearby with the largest daily trading volume.

Moreover, the things in this market are often of good quality and low price.

That's why Luo Chen chose to go to this market.

Outside the Baiwushan Market.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked forward silently.

Although, they had not yet entered the Baiwu Mountain Market, they could still feel the shock of the Baiwu Mountain Market.

Even outside the Baiwu Mountain Market, there are many immortal cultivators coming and going.

"Hey, you two look a little unfamiliar!"

"Newcomer?" A man with a hideous scar on his face narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

"We are here to purchase some necessities." Luo Chen answered calmly, his eyes sweeping over the man without the slightest fear.

Qingshuang smiled slightly and nodded politely. She knew that in a place like this, keeping a low profile and being polite was the best way to avoid trouble.

"Oh? Then you'd better be careful. There are all kinds of people in the market." The man seemed satisfied with Luo Chen's answer, and there was a hint of warning in his words.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang didn't say much, just nodded and continued walking towards the market.

The entrance to the Baiwushan Market is bustling with people, and there are all kinds of stalls selling everything from magical herbs and medicines to magical instruments and treasures.

"Let's go to the spiritual herb area first." Luo Chen suggested. He needed some special spiritual herbs to refine some pills to restore his true energy.

Qingshuang nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked towards the spiritual herb area.

The stalls in the spiritual herbs area were filled with various rare spiritual herbs, and many cultivators were selecting and bargaining.

"These spiritual herbs are of good quality. It seems that the supply in the market is quite abundant." Qingshuang said in a low voice. Her knowledge of spiritual herbs is no less than that of Luo Chen.

Luo Chen was carefully selecting in front of the stall, and his eyes finally stopped on a spiritual herb that was emitting a faint fluorescence.

"This 'Scorching Sun Grass' is of high quality, just right for refining the 'Scorching Sun Pill'."

The stall owner was a middle-aged woman. When she saw that Luo Chen was interested in the Sunburnt Grass, she enthusiastically introduced it to him: "This young man has a good eye. This Sunburnt Grass was just picked from the deep mountains and has excellent medicinal effects."

Luo Chen nodded. After some bargaining with the stall owner, he finally bought the Sunburnt Grass at a reasonable price.

Qingshuang picked some other spiritual herbs on the side, and the two of them then visited a few stalls and purchased some necessary materials.

After completing their shopping, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a relatively quiet corner and began to sort out the items they had purchased.

"With these materials, we are almost ready to refine the pills." Luo Chen said with satisfaction.

Qingshuang also nodded in agreement. She knew that Luo Chen had outstanding attainments in alchemy.

"We also need to prepare some magic weapons for self-defense." Qingshuang reminded. She knew that the next mission was full of unknowns and dangers.

Luo Chen nodded to show his understanding, and the two of them walked into the magic weapon area again.

The stalls in the magic weapon area are filled with all kinds of magic weapons, ranging from defensive armor to offensive flying swords.

Luo Chen's attention was attracted by an ancient long sword. He walked forward, picked up the sword and looked at it carefully.

The blade of the long sword is engraved with complex patterns, emitting a faint cold light.

"This sword seems a little unusual." Luo Chen said in a low voice. His intuition told him that this sword might have unknown secrets.

The stall owner was an old man. When he saw that Luo Chen was interested in the long sword, he introduced it: "This sword is called the 'Ice Sword'. It was left in the market by a master. It is said that this sword contains ice spiritual power and is extremely powerful."

Luo Chen nodded. He tried to inject his true energy into the sword. The Ice Sword immediately made a crisp sound and the air around the sword seemed to condense into ice.

"Good sword!" Luo Chen praised, and he decided to buy this ice sword.

Qingshuang picked out a defensive armor on the side. This armor was made of special materials and could withstand powerful attacks.

After the two finished their shopping, they left the magic weapon area.

Before leaving, Luo Chen specially bought some special talisman paper and cinnabar, ready to use in the mission.

"With these preparations, we can set off." Luo Chen said, with a determination flashing in his eyes.

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that the next mission would be a tough battle, but she believed that as long as she and Luo Chen were together, nothing would be impossible.

Just when the two were about to leave the Baiwu Mountain Market.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the market town.

"Stop him, stop him!" A burst of urgent shouts came from the other end of the market, and the crowd began to riot.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that this sudden commotion might have nothing to do with them, but as cultivators, they also knew that it was necessary to remain vigilant in such an environment.

"Let's go and see what happened?" Qingshuang suggested.

Luo Chen nodded, and the two of them walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

Passing through the crowd, they saw a man in a black robe running desperately, with several cultivators chasing him closely.

"Stop!" shouted a pursuer, holding a piece of talisman paper shining with golden light in his hand, obviously preparing to launch an attack.

The man in black robe seemed exhausted. He ran stumblingly, and suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

The pursuers quickly closed in and surrounded him.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood not far away, observing the scene.

They did not intend to intervene easily, but at the same time they did not want to miss any possible clues.

"How dare you, a thief, steal the treasure of our market!" one of the pursuers shouted angrily.

The man in black robe was breathing heavily. He raised his head, revealing a pale and young face, his eyes full of despair.

"I'm not a thief, I just... I just..." He tried to explain, but his words were full of powerlessness.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They could feel that there might be an unknown story hidden behind this.

"Let's take a look at the situation first." Qingshuang said softly.

Luo Chen nodded, and the two of them slowly approached the crowd.

"What happened?" Luo Chen asked a cultivator who was watching.

The immortal cultivator saw that Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had extraordinary temperaments, so he explained in a low voice: "This kid stole a treasure from the market and was discovered by the market guards."

"What treasure?" Qingshuang asked curiously.

"It is said to be an ancient magical weapon that can enhance the spiritual power of practitioners." The man replied.

After hearing this, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt something in their hearts.

They knew that such a magical weapon was priceless to immortal cultivators, so it was no wonder that it caused such a big commotion.

At this moment, the man in black robe suddenly took out an item from his arms. It was a necklace made of special materials.

The necklace is black and white, and looks ordinary, but it actually contains something extraordinary.

“Look, this is it!” The man in black robe panted, with a hint of despair and determination in his voice, “I… I’m not stealing. I’m just taking back what belongs to me.”

The pursuers looked at each other, seemingly surprised by this sudden change.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also showed great interest in this necklace. They knew that behind this seemingly ordinary necklace, there might be unknown secrets hidden.

"What do you mean by that?" One of the pursuers frowned and asked, obviously not satisfied with the explanation of the man in black robe. (End of this chapter)
