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

"Good idea." Luo Chen agreed, "Then where do we find the accounts?"

"Come with me." Ling'er said, "I know where the accounts are."

Ling'er brought Luo Chen and Qingshuang to the accounting office of the imperial kitchen, which was the place responsible for recording the income and expenditure of the imperial kitchen.

"The accounts are here." Ling'er pointed to a bookshelf and said, "Let's split up and look for them."

The three of them carefully looked through the accounts in the accounting office. There were many accounts in the accounting office, recording the daily income and expenditure of the imperial kitchen, including the purchase of ingredients, the wages of staff, etc.

"With so many accounts, how long will it take to find them?" Qingshuang said with a headache.

"Don't lose heart, we will definitely find it." Luo Chen said, "Everyone be careful and don't miss any suspicious places."

The three of them continued to look through the accounts. Suddenly, Luo Chen stopped and said, "Look here."

Qingshuang and Ling'er hurried over and saw Luo Chen pointing at a page of accounts, which recorded a special expenditure.

"Is there any problem with this expenditure?" Qingshuang asked.

"This expenditure is used to purchase a medicinal herb called 'Black Jade Grass'." Luo Chen said, "I have never heard of this medicinal herb before, and it is very expensive. Why did the Imperial Kitchen purchase this medicinal herb?"

"Could it be that this medicinal herb is related to the 'Holy Religion'?" Ling'er asked.

"It's possible." Luo Chen nodded, "Let's go ask the steward of the imperial kitchen to see if he knows the use of this medicinal herb."

The three of them came to the lobby of the imperial kitchen, found the steward of the imperial kitchen, and asked him about the "black jade grass".

"'Black Jade Grass'?" The steward thought for a moment and said, "I seem to have heard of this medicinal herb, but I don't know its specific uses. I only know that it is a very precious medicinal herb that most people can't afford."

"Then do you know who bought this medicinal material?" Luo Chen asked.

"This..." The steward hesitated and said, "I can't say it."

"Why can't you say it?" Qingshuang asked.

"Because..." Before the steward could finish his words, a voice suddenly came from behind them: "Because, this is the secret of the Holy Religion."

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Ling'er looked back and saw a man in a black robe who had appeared in front of them at some point and was looking at them with a sinister smile on his face.

"Who are you?" Luo Chen asked in a deep voice.

"You will soon know who I am." The man in black robe smiled sinisterly and said, "But before that, you should come with me first."

"Go with you? Dream on!" Mo Han snorted and appeared from the darkness, "Don't even think about taking them away while I'm here!"

"Mo Han!" Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exclaimed in surprise.

"Luo Chen, Qingshuang, are you okay?" Mo Han asked.

"We are fine." Luo Chen said, "Why are you here?"

"I have been protecting you in secret." Mo Han said, "I saw you enter the imperial kitchen, so I followed you in. I didn't expect that you would discover the secret of the 'Holy Church'."

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Luo Chen said, "We must get rid of this guy first."

"Okay, let's go together!" Mo Han said.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, Mo Han and Ling Er rushed towards the man in black robe together.

“You don’t know your own limitations!” The man in black robe sneered and waved his hand to send out a stream of black air, attacking the four people.

"Be careful!" Luo Chen shouted, and quickly pushed Qingshuang and Ling'er away, while he and Mo Han went forward to meet them.

The black energy collided with Luo Chen and Mo Han's attacks, making a loud noise and knocking the two back a few steps.

"What a strong strength!" Luo Chen was shocked. The strength of this black-robed man was even stronger than the one he met in the library before.

"You are no match for me." The man in black robe said coldly, "Follow me obediently, or you will suffer physical pain."

"Don't even think about it!" Mo Han roared and rushed towards the man in black robe again.

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Ling'er followed closely behind, and the four of them joined forces and fought fiercely with the man in black.

Although the black-robed man was very powerful, he gradually fell into a disadvantage under the joint attack of four people.

"Damn it!" The man in black robe cursed angrily, suddenly took out a black bead from his arms and threw it at the four people.

"Be careful, this is the 'Exploding Pearl'!" Ling'er exclaimed and quickly reminded.

The "Exploding Bead" is a hidden weapon with enormous power. Once it explodes, everything within a ten-foot radius will be razed to the ground.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Mo Han quickly dodged. The "explosive bead" fell to the ground with a deafening noise and blew a big hole in the ground.

"That was a close call!" Luo Chen said with lingering fear, "I almost got caught."

“Don’t be too complacent, this is just the beginning!” said the man in black robe, and he took out a few “explosive beads” and threw them at the four people.

"Get out of the way!" Luo Chen shouted, and quickly pulled Qingshuang and Ling'er to hide to the side.

Mo Han also quickly dodged, but was still a step too slow and was hit on the shoulder by an "explosive bead", and blood immediately gushed out.

"Mo Han, are you okay?" Luo Chen asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, you guys be careful!" Mo Han said gritting his teeth.

"Damn it, this guy has too many 'Explosive Orbs'. We can't go on like this." Luo Chen said, "We must find a way to get rid of him."

"I have a plan." Ling'er suddenly said, "You guys cover me, I'll attack him by surprise."

"Okay, we'll cover you!" Luo Chen said.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Mo Han launched a fierce attack on the man in black robe together and entangled him.

Ling'er took the opportunity to go behind the man in black robe and approached him quietly.

"Go to hell!" Ling'er suddenly took action and slapped the man in black robe on the back.

"Puff!" The man in black robe spat out a mouthful of blood and flew forward.

"Success!" Ling'er said happily.

"Don't be happy too soon, he is not dead yet!" Luo Chen said.

Sure enough, the man in black robe struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said grimly: "You dare to hurt me, I will make you pay the price!"

As the man in black robe spoke, a black gas suddenly emerged from his body and enveloped him completely.

"Oh no, he's going to use his ultimate move!" Ling'er exclaimed, "Everyone be careful!"

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Mo Han quickly took defensive postures and looked at the man in black robe vigilantly.

"The dark devil has come!" The man in black robe roared, and the black energy on his body suddenly burst out, turning into a huge black devil shadow, rushing towards the four people.

"What is this?" Luo Chen asked in horror.

"This is the secret technique of the Holy Church, 'The Dark Devil's Coming to the World'!" Ling'er said, "Once possessed by the Dark Devil, one will turn into a monster that only knows how to kill. It's very scary!"

"Then what should we do?" Qingshuang asked.

"We must stop him!" Luo Chen said, "Otherwise, we will all die here!"

"How to stop it?" Mo Han asked.

"I don't know either." Luo Chen said, "But we must try!"

Luo Chen said as he rushed towards the black demon first.

"Luo Chen, don't!" Qing Shuang screamed, trying to stop Luo Chen, but it was too late. Luo Chen rushed to the black demon, swung the dagger in his hand, and slashed at the black demon.

"You don't know your own limitations!" The man in black robe sneered, controlled the black demon, and punched Luo Chen.

"Bang!" Luo Chen was hit by a punch from the Black Demon, his body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Luo Chen!" Qingshuang and Ling'er exclaimed and hurriedly ran towards Luo Chen.

"You'd better take care of yourselves first!" The man in black robe sneered, controlled the black demon, and pounced towards Qingshuang and Ling'er.

"Be careful!" Mo Han shouted, stood in front of Qingshuang and Ling'er, and fought fiercely with the black demon.

"Mo Han, how are you?" Qingshuang helped Luo Chen up and asked anxiously.

"I'm fine." Luo Chen struggled to stand up and said, "We must find a way to stop this black devil, otherwise, we will all die here!"

"But how can we stop him?" Qingshuang asked.

"I don't know either." Luo Chen shook his head and said, "But we have to give it a try!"

Luo Chen said as he rushed towards the black demon again.

"Luo Chen, don't!" Qingshuang wanted to stop Luo Chen, but was held back by Ling'er.

"Let him go." Ling'er said, "This is his own choice."

"But..." Qingshuang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ling'er.

"Believe in him." Ling'er said, "He will definitely be able to do it."

Qingshuang looked at Ling'er with complicated eyes.

"Luo Chen..." Qingshuang murmured to herself, "You must come back alive..."

Luo Chen rushed to the black demon again, swung the dagger in his hand and slashed at the black demon.

"You don't know your own limitations!" The man in black robe sneered, controlled the black demon, and punched Luo Chen.

"Bang!" Luo Chen was hit by the Black Demon's punch again. His body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Luo Chen!" Qingshuang and Ling'er exclaimed and hurriedly ran towards Luo Chen.

"You'd better take care of yourselves first!" The man in black robe sneered, controlled the black demon, and pounced towards Qingshuang and Ling'er.

"Be careful!" Mo Han shouted, stood in front of Qingshuang and Ling'er, and fought fiercely with the black demon.

"Mo Han, how are you?" Qingshuang helped Luo Chen up and asked anxiously.

"I'm fine." Luo Chen struggled to stand up and said, "We must find a way to stop this black devil, otherwise, we will all die here!"

"But how can we stop him?" Qingshuang asked.

"I don't know either." Luo Chen shook his head and said, "But we have to give it a try!"

Luo Chen said as he rushed towards the black demon again.

"Luo Chen, don't!" Qingshuang wanted to stop Luo Chen, but was held back by Ling'er.

"Let him go." Ling'er said, "This is his own choice."

"But..." Qingshuang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ling'er.

"Believe in him." Ling'er said, "He will definitely be able to do it."

Qingshuang looked at Ling'er with complicated eyes.

"Luo Chen..." Qingshuang murmured to herself, "You must come back alive..."

Luo Chen rushed to the black demon again, swung the dagger in his hand and slashed at the black demon.

"You don't know your own limitations!" The man in black robe sneered, controlled the black demon, and punched Luo Chen.

"Bang!" Luo Chen was hit by the Black Demon's punch again. His body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Puff!" Luo Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and felt like his internal organs were about to shatter.

"Luo Chen!" Qingshuang and Ling'er exclaimed and hurriedly ran towards Luo Chen.

"You'd better take care of yourselves first!" The man in black robe sneered, controlled the black demon, and pounced towards Qingshuang and Ling'er.

"Be careful!" Mo Han shouted, stood in front of Qingshuang and Ling'er, and fought fiercely with the black demon.

"Mo Han, how are you?" Qingshuang helped Luo Chen up and asked anxiously.

"I'm fine." Luo Chen struggled to stand up and said, "We must find a way to stop this black devil, otherwise, we will all die here!"

"But how can we stop him?" Qingshuang asked.

"I don't know either." Luo Chen shook his head and said, "But we have to give it a try!"

Luo Chen said as he rushed towards the black demon again.

"Luo Chen, don't!" Qingshuang wanted to stop Luo Chen, but was held back by Ling'er.

"Let him go." Ling'er said, "This is his own choice."

"But..." Qingshuang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ling'er.

"Believe in him." Ling'er said, "He will definitely be able to do it."

Qingshuang looked at Ling'er with complicated eyes.

"Luo Chen..." Qingshuang murmured to herself, "You must come back alive..."

Luo Chen rushed to the black demon again, swung the dagger in his hand and slashed at the black demon.

"You don't know your own limitations!" The man in black robe sneered, controlled the black demon, and punched Luo Chen.

At this moment, Luo Chen suddenly threw the dagger in his hand. The dagger drew an arc in the air and flew towards the man in black robe.

"What?" The man in black robe was startled. He didn't expect Luo Chen to do this suddenly, and he quickly dodged.

"Now!" Luo Chen shouted, took out a talisman from his arms and threw it at the black demon.

"This is... a demon-sealing talisman?" Ling'er exclaimed, "How could he have such a talisman?"

The "Demon Sealing Talisman" is a very powerful talisman that can seal all demons and monsters. However, this talisman is very rare and difficult to use, and requires a lot of spiritual power.

“Never mind, let’s try it first!” Luo Chen said, and frantically injected the spiritual power in his body into the Demon-Sealing Talisman.

The demon-sealing talisman emitted a dazzling light and flew towards the black demon.

"No!" The man in black robe screamed in horror and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

The demon-sealing talisman hit the Black Demon, who let out a shrill scream, his body quickly shrank, and finally disappeared.

"Success!" Luo Chen said happily.

"That's great!" Qingshuang and Ling'er also said excitedly.

“Ahem…” The man in black robe coughed a few times, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said, “You…you actually broke my ‘Dark Devil’s Coming’, I won’t let you go!”

"Really?" Luo Chen said coldly, "Then you go die first!"

As Luo Chen spoke, he rushed towards the black-robed man and slapped him on the chest. (End of this chapter)
