Chapter 639: The Crisis of the Northern Wilderness Divine Land? Demons?
That night, Luo Yao quietly left Bluestone City with several elite disciples from his family and headed for Butterfly Valley.
After half a month of arduous trek, Luo Yao and others finally arrived at the mountain range where Butterfly Valley is located.
Butterfly Valley is located deep in the mountains and surrounded by a dense virgin forest. The valley is like spring all year round, with the fragrance of flowers and countless colorful butterflies dancing in the valley, just like a fairyland on earth.
Luo Yao and others carefully walked through the forest and entered Butterfly Valley.
They found that the butterflies in the valley were not afraid of people, but instead danced around them one after another.
The wings of these butterflies are shining with colorful light, beautiful and mysterious.
Luo Yao's heart moved, and he understood that these colorful butterflies were probably the legendary magical butterflies.
He quickly called to everyone not to disturb the butterflies, and then quietly observed them.
After a period of observation, Luo Yao discovered that these colorful butterflies seemed to have a magical power. They could absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and transform it into a kind of pure energy.
And this energy is exactly what practitioners pursue.
Luo Yao was overjoyed. He understood that this was the treasure they were looking for.
He immediately asked everyone to start collecting these colorful butterflies, hoping to extract pure energy from them for use by the Luo family.
However, while they were collecting colorful butterflies, something suddenly happened in the valley.
The originally peaceful Butterfly Valley began to shake, and a powerful energy surged out of the valley, sending Luo Yao and others flying out.
Luo Yao struggled to get up from the ground. He looked into the valley and saw a huge beam of light rising into the sky.
He was shocked and understood that this was a sign that a strong man was about to be born.
He immediately called to everyone and asked them to evacuate Butterfly Valley quickly.
However, just as they were about to leave, a roar suddenly came from the valley, and a figure rushed out of the light pillar and landed in front of them.
This is a man wearing a black robe. He has a stern face, sharp eyes, and exudes a powerful aura.
He looked at Luo Yao and others coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my territory?"
Luo Yao quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Senior, we are from the Luo family of Bluestone City. We have no intention of offending. We just heard that there is a mysterious treasure here, so we came to look for it."
Hearing this, the man in black robe was slightly stunned, and then said: "Oh? People from the Luo family? Do you know that this is my place of cultivation, and these colorful butterflies are my guardians. If you collect them without permission, you have offended me. bottom line.”
Luo Yao's heart tightened. He knew that this man in black robe was by no means an ordinary person. They might have gotten into big trouble.
He quickly said: "Senior, please calm down, we didn't know that this is your place of cultivation, let alone that these colorful butterflies are your guardians. We are willing to return all the colorful butterflies we collected and compensate you for your losses. "
The man in black robe looked at Luo Yao coldly, and then said: "Compensation? Do you think you can afford to compensate me for my losses?"
Luo Yao's heart sank, he knew that it might be difficult to be kind this time.
He took a deep breath and then said: "Senior, our Luo family is willing to take responsibility for this matter. If you have any requests, please feel free to make them and we will do our best to meet them."
When the man in black robe heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Okay, since you are so sincere, then I will give you a chance. Your Luo family must send ten disciples with outstanding talents to come here to accept My test, if they can pass the test, I will let your Luo family go, otherwise, I will destroy your Luo family. "
Luo Yao's heart trembled, he knew that this man in black robe was testing the strength of the Luo family.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, our Luo family will accept the test of our seniors."
The man in black robe nodded and his voice softened slightly: "You go back and prepare now. In ten days, I will go to the Luo family in Qingshi City in person." After saying this, he disappeared in a flash.
Luo Yao and others looked at each other, their hearts filled with uneasiness and tension.
They know that this test is related to the life and death of the Luo family, and they must go all out.
After returning to Qingshi City, Luo Yao immediately reported the matter to the head of the family, Luo Ping.
After hearing this, Luo Ping frowned and said in a deep voice: "The strength of this man in black robe is unfathomable. It may be difficult for our Luo family to match him, but we cannot shrink from this test and must do our best."
In the next few days, everyone in the Luo family was preparing for the upcoming test.
They selected ten disciples with outstanding talents and let them practice in seclusion to improve their strength.
Ten days later, the man in black robe arrived as promised.
He came to the gate of the Luo family and said calmly: "People of the Luo family, are you ready?"
Luo Ping personally greeted him and said respectfully: "Senior, our Luo family is ready."
The man in black robe nodded, and then said: "Then let your disciples come out."
Luo Ping immediately asked the ten disciples to come out and stand in front of the black-robed man.
The man in black robe glanced at them, and then said: "You will accept my test. Only those who pass the test can stay. Come with me now."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the back hill of Luo's house.
Luo Yao and others followed closely, feeling uneasy.
After arriving at the back mountain, the black-robed man pointed to a valley and said, "This is the place where you will be tested. You need to enter the valley, find a spiritual herb called 'Millennium Ice Heart Grass', and bring it out."
"But I want to remind you that this valley is full of dangers. There are all kinds of powerful monsters and traps. If you are not careful, you will die." "So, you must be careful."
The ten disciples felt nervous when they heard this.
They knew that this test was extremely difficult and they would die if they were not careful.
But they also knew that this was a test of the life and death of the Luo family, and they had to go all out.
So, they took a deep breath and entered the valley one after another.
In the valley, it was dark and you couldn't see your fingers.
They could only move forward cautiously with their weak spiritual perception.
Soon, they encountered the first monster, a huge black bear.
This black bear was huge and powerful. With one paw, it could raze a small mountain to the ground.
The ten disciples were all shocked, but they did not retreat. Instead, they drew their weapons and fought fiercely with the black bear.
After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the black bear, but they also suffered a lot of injuries.
However, they did not stop to rest, but continued to move forward.
Next, they encountered various powerful monsters and traps, and each time they were in danger.
However, with their firm will and outstanding strength, they finally found the spiritual herb called "Millennium Ice Heart Grass".
They brought the spiritual herb out and handed it to the man in black robe.
The man in black robe took the spiritual herb, checked it carefully, and then nodded and said: "Yes, you passed the test."
"Now, I can tell you that I am one of the guardians of Beihuang Shenzhou, guarding the safety of this land. It is a blessing for your Luo family to have disciples like you."
Luo Ping and others were all happy when they heard this.
The black-robed man continued, "However, don't be too happy too soon. Beihuang Shenzhou is now facing a huge crisis. I need your help. Are you willing to join me in defending Beihuang Shenzhou?"
Luo Ping and others nodded without hesitation.
However, Luo Ping couldn't help but whispered, "What kind of crisis will it be that even you, the senior, find it difficult to deal with?"
The black-robed man looked at Luo Ping deeply, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and slowly said, "Beihuang Shenzhou is the border of Xuanyuan Continent. It contains endless treasures and opportunities, but it also hides countless crises."
"In recent years, some forbidden areas in Beihuang Shenzhou have begun to have strange phenomena, and powerful demonic energy has leaked out, gradually eroding this land."
"According to my speculation, this is most likely the remnants of the sealed demon clan, accumulating strength in secret, attempting to stir up bloody storms again."
"Demon clan?" Luo Ping and others were all shocked when they heard this.
Although they had heard of the name of the demon clan, they had never really seen the horror of the demon clan.
The black-robed man nodded and continued, "The demons are one of the most evil races in the world. They are naturally bloodthirsty and warlike, and they enjoy devouring living beings."
"Back then, we joined forces to suppress and seal the demons."
"But now it seems that they seem to be accumulating strength in secret and preparing to make a comeback."
"Senior, how should we deal with it?" Luo Ping couldn't help asking.
The black-robed man pondered for a moment and said, "First, we need to strengthen the defense of Beihuang Shenzhou to ensure that the demons cannot easily break through the seal. Secondly, we need to find more talented disciples and train them to become powerful warriors to jointly resist the invasion of the demons."
"My Luo family is willing to do our part to defend Beihuang Shenzhou!" Luo Ping immediately expressed his position.
The black-robed man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then it's up to the Luo family, but this matter is of great importance, we must act carefully, I will send people to those forbidden areas to investigate the situation first, and then make further plans."
Luo Ping and others nodded in agreement.
They knew that this test was not only about the survival of the Luo family, but also about the safety of the entire Northern Wilderness Divine Continent.
They had to go all out to live up to their trust.
In the following days, the Luo family was preparing for the upcoming crisis.
They strengthened the family's defenses, and at the same time, they were actively looking for and training talented disciples.
After passing the test of the black-robed man, Luo Yao and ten other disciples were also trained by the family.
They got more resources and opportunities, and their strength was constantly improving.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, a year had passed.
On this day, the black-robed man came to the Luo family again.
He brought a shocking news-the demons have begun to act!
According to the black-robed man, they found traces of the demons in a forbidden area in the Northern Wilderness Divine Continent.
Those remnants of the demons have broken through a corner of the seal and began to expand their power outward.
Luo Ping and others were all solemn when they heard this.
They knew that this crisis was imminent.
The black-robed man continued, "In order to deal with this crisis, I need your Luo family to send an elite team to accompany me to the forbidden area to help me eliminate the remnants of the demon clan."
Luo Ping nodded without hesitation and said, "Our Luo family is willing to do our part to defend the Northern Wilderness Shenzhou! However, we need some time to prepare."
The black-robed man nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you three days to prepare. We'll gather here in three days and go to the forbidden area together."
Luo Ping and others immediately started to act.
They selected an elite team and prepared sufficient supplies and weapons.
At the same time, they also told the entire Luo family about this news, so that everyone could be prepared to deal with the crisis.
Three days later, the elite team of the Luo family, led by Luo Ping, went to the forbidden area with the black-robed man.
......
Led by the black-robed man, the Luo family team embarked on the journey to the forbidden area.
After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the entrance of the forbidden area.
There is a huge stone gate with mysterious runes and patterns carved on it.
According to the black-robed man, this stone gate is the only passage to the forbidden area. Only by passing through this stone gate can you enter the depths of the forbidden area.
Luo Ping and others stood in front of the stone gate, full of tension and expectation.
The man in black robe waved his hand, signaling everyone to prepare to enter the forbidden area.
Luo Ping and others immediately raised their weapons, adjusted their status, and prepared to meet the next challenge.
With the order of the man in black robe, everyone pushed open the stone door at the same time.
A strong breath rushed in their faces, making them feel suffocated.
However, they did not retreat, but walked in firmly.
After entering the forbidden area, they found that this place was completely different from the outside world.
It was full of strong demonic energy and strange runes, which made people feel depressed and uneasy.
At the same time, they also found that there were many powerful demon creatures wandering here...
"What are those?"
"Are they all the demons that the seniors mentioned?"
"Really..."
"It's a bit hard to imagine!"
Luo Ping looked at everything in front of him, and he couldn't help but whispered to the man in black beside him.
The man in black nodded, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything. He said in a deep voice: "Yes, these are demons. They are the remnants of the demons sealed in the forbidden land."
"Although their strength is not as good as the demon army back then, they are not something you can easily deal with."
When Luo Ping and others heard this, their faces became more solemn.
The man in black smiled slightly and said: "However, you don't have to worry too much. As long as you stay alert and exert your strength, you will definitely be able to defeat them."
When Luo Ping and others heard this, a little confidence rose in their hearts.
They knew that they were not fighting alone, and they had strong men like the man in black as their backing.
