Chapter 769 Leaving Wanfa Pavilion!
"Have you noticed?" Qingshuang suddenly said, "Although the dagger in his hand looks like a part of the Blade of Time, it seems different."
Hongling frowned, "You mean, it may not be a real fragment of the Blade of Time?"
"No." Luochen interrupted, "It is indeed a fragment, but it may be only a small part of it. The Blade of Time is a legendary artifact, and its fragments should have more powerful power. The dagger in the hand of this mysterious figure, although it also exudes the power of time, seems to be suppressed by some force."
They continued to discuss until night fell, and the three decided to rest in a dense forest.
They took turns to keep watch to prevent any accidents.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the treetops, Luochen, Qingshuang and Hongling continued their journey.
After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the Wanfa Pavilion.
The Wanfa Pavilion is an ancient building, which is located in a quiet valley and surrounded by dense forests.
The outer wall of the attic is covered with green ivy, which looks ancient and mysterious.
Luo Chen took Qingshuang and Hongling into the Wanfa Pavilion, where they were introduced to the elders in the pavilion.
The elder was a white-haired old man with wisdom in his eyes.
"What you are facing is a crisis that has never happened in a thousand years." After listening to Luo Chen's narration, the elder slowly said, "Once the fragments of the Blade of Time are used by evil people, it will bring unimaginable disasters to the world."
The elder stood up and walked to a wall where a huge world map was hung.
He gently swiped his finger across the map and finally stopped at a mark.
"Here," said the elder, "is the place where the legendary Blade of Time last appeared. If the fragments are scattered in this area, then you should start looking from here."
Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Hongling carefully noted the location pointed by the elder.
They knew that this would be a long and difficult journey, but they also understood that they had no way out.
In the Wanfa Pavilion, they got some clues on how to find and identify the fragments of the Blade of Time.
The elders also gave them some ancient magic tools that could help them avoid danger in the process of searching for fragments.
With gratitude, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Hong Ling left the Wan Fa Pavilion.
They knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, but they also believed that as long as they were united, nothing was impossible.
Finally, on a stormy night, they found the last fragment of the Blade of Time.
It was hidden in an ancient temple, and the guardian of the temple was a huge demon dragon.
"Trouble..."
Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Hong Ling stood in the wind and rain, looking at the ancient temple, their hearts full of tension and expectation.
The entrance to the temple was blocked by the huge body of the demon dragon, and its eyes were like two burning flames, staring coldly at the three uninvited guests.
"Are we really going in?" Hong Ling's voice was trembling. Although she was brave, she couldn't help but feel a little fear in the face of such a powerful guardian.
Luo Chen gripped the hilt tightly, his eyes firm, "We have come here, there is no way back, we must get the last piece, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain."
Qingshuang nodded, she began to chant in a low voice, preparing to cast a spell to help them break through the dragon's defense.
Luo Chen and Hong Ling also prepared their own weapons and spells.
The three looked at each other, nodded, and then attacked at the same time.
Luo Chen's swordsmanship was like a storm, and the sword light drew sharp arcs in the darkness, pointing directly at the dragon's vitals.
Qingshuang's spells formed frost in the air, trying to freeze the dragon's movements.
Hongling waved her long whip, each whip with a thunderous sound, trying to distract the dragon's attention.
The dragon roared, and its huge body twisted in front of the temple, and its tail swept over, bringing a gust of wind.
Luo Chen and Hong Ling dodged quickly, but Qing Shuang was swept up by the wind and almost thrown to the stone pillar beside.
Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately rushed forward and supported Qing Shuang's body with his sword to help her stabilize her body.
Hong Ling took the opportunity to swing her long whip and wrapped it around the dragon's tail, trying to restrict its movement.
The battle lasted for a long time. Although the three of them cooperated well, the dragon's power was too strong.
Every attack seemed to leave only a tiny mark on its scales.
"This is not a solution!" Luo Chen shouted loudly, his voice a little hoarse in the wind and rain.
Qing Shuang and Hong Ling also realized this. They needed to find the dragon's weakness, otherwise the battle would never end.
At this moment, Qing Shuang suddenly remembered the ancient magic weapon that the elder gave them in the Wanfa Pavilion.
She quickly took out a small crystal ball from her arms, which seemed to contain some mysterious power.
"Try this!" Qingshuang shouted, throwing the crystal ball into the air. The crystal ball burst into dazzling light in the air, forming a beam of light that shot directly into the eyes of the demon dragon.
The demon dragon let out a painful roar, its sight was temporarily deprived, and its movements became slow.
Luo Chen and Hong Ling seized this opportunity and launched the strongest attack at the same time.
Luo Chen's sword was like a flash of lightning, piercing the scales of the demon dragon and hitting its heart directly.
Hong Ling's long whip was wrapped around the demon dragon's neck, and he pulled hard, making the demon dragon's head unable to move.
After a fierce struggle, the demonic dragon finally fell, its body collapsed, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The three of them breathed heavily and looked at each other, their eyes full of exhaustion and relief.
They succeeded, and the last fragment of the Blade of Time was in front of them.
Luo Chen carefully walked towards the body of the demon dragon and took out the last fragment from its chest.
The fragment exudes a faint light in the hand, as if telling its extraordinary origin.
"We did it." Qingshuang's voice was trembling, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Hong Ling nodded, with a hint of relief in her eyes, "Yes, we did it."
Luochen put away the fragments, then turned to face his two companions, "This is all because of you. Without you, I would not be able to complete this mission."
Qingshuang and Hongling looked at each other and smiled. They knew that this was not only because of their personal strength, but also because of the friendship and trust between them.
The three decided to take a short rest in the temple to recover their strength.
In the corner of the temple, they found a relatively dry place to sit down.
Luochen took out some dry food and water bottles from the package and distributed them to Qingshuang and Hongling.
The three of them sat together, sharing the food, and silently celebrating this difficult victory in their hearts.
"What should we do next?" Hong Ling asked, with a hint of exhaustion in her voice, but more of an expectation for the future.
Luo Chen pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke: "We have to go back to Wanfa Pavilion first and hand over the last fragment to the elder. He should know how to deal with these fragments to ensure that they will not fall into the hands of evil people. hand."
Qingshuang nodded, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, "However, we cannot take it lightly. The fragments of the Blade of Time are so important. We have encountered countless dangers along the way. On the way back to Wanfa Pavilion, we may still There will be more challenges.”
"You are right." Luo Chen agreed, "We must remain vigilant and not let anything hinder us."
The three rested for a while, then got up and prepared to leave the temple.
Before leaving the temple, Luochen looked around. He wanted to remember this place and everything they had experienced.
He knew in his heart that this adventure would become one of the most precious memories in their lives.
"You know, Luochen." Qingshuang said with a smile, "Before I met you, I always thought that I could face everything alone, but now I understand how happy it is to have friends by my side. ”
Luochen smiled and patted Qingshuang's shoulder, "I feel the same way. Without you, I might have been lost on this path."
Hongling looked at them, her eyes full of warmth, "We are each other's support and strength. As long as we are together, nothing can stop us."
They continued on, through dense forests and over rugged mountains.
Although the journey was difficult, their mood was extremely relaxed.
Because they know that as long as they work together, nothing is impossible.
Finally, after several days of trekking, they saw the outline of Wanfa Pavilion again.
The ancient building looked particularly solemn in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"We are back." Luo Chen whispered, his voice full of emotion.
They walked into Wanfa Pavilion and saw the white-haired elder again.
When the elders saw the fragments in their hands, a trace of relief flashed in their eyes.
"You have done a good job." The elder said, "These fragments must be kept properly. I will seal them to ensure that they will not be used by evil people."
Luochen, Qingshuang and Hongling watched the elder seal the fragments one by one, and their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment.
They knew that not only had they accomplished their mission, but they had also brought peace to the world.
In Wanfa Pavilion, the elders prepared a sumptuous dinner for them to celebrate their success.
...
After eating and drinking.
The three of them rested for a day in the Wanfa Pavilion.
As time came to the second day, it was early morning.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang slowly woke up and left the Wanfa Pavilion with some reluctance.
Naturally, before leaving.
They said goodbye to the elder of Wanfa Pavilion.
After all, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were not able to stay in a place like this for a long time.
"Where to go next?"
After leaving Wanfa Pavilion for some distance, Qingshuang looked at Luo Chen beside him with some curiosity.
Luo Chen thought for a while, and then said: "Let's go to Fangshi to take on a mission... Anyway, there is nothing to do recently, and the resources on my body seem to be a bit insufficient."
Qingshuang nodded, she knew Luo Chen was right.
As immortal cultivators, they always need to constantly look for new tasks to make a living, and at the same time improve their strength through constant adventures.
"The market is not far from here. Let's walk faster. Maybe we can catch up with today's market." Qingshuang suggested.
Luo Chen smiled, he liked Qing Shuang's optimistic attitude.
The two of them walked side by side, with Hongling following behind. The three of them talked and laughed along the way, enjoying the rare quiet time.
When they arrived at Fangshi, they caught up with the lively market.
The streets of Fangshi were bustling with people, and there were all kinds of stalls, from spiritual herbs and medicines to magic tools and treasures.
Luo Chen and Qingshuang shuttled through the crowd, while Hongling was attracted by some novel gadgets from time to time and stopped to watch.
"Look at that, Luo Chen!" Qingshuang pointed to a bracelet on a stall. The bracelet was inlaid with several crystal clear gems, emitting a faint spiritual power fluctuation.
Luo Chen looked along Qingshuang's finger and smiled slightly, "Buy it if you like it. We have gained a lot from this mission, and we should reward ourselves."
Qingshuang's cheeks were slightly red, and she shook her head, "No, I just think it looks good. Let's go and take the mission first."
The three continued to move forward and finally came to the bulletin board in Fangshi that was specifically used to post missions.
Many immortal cultivators gathered here, and they were either discussing in a low voice or reading the content of the mission carefully.
Luo Chen's eyes quickly scanned the bulletin board and finally stopped at a task: "Retrieve the lost ancient books, the reward is generous."
"How about this task?" Luo Chen turned to ask Qingshuang and Hongling.
Hongling came forward and carefully read the task description, "It sounds interesting, and the reward is indeed good, but the places where the ancient books are lost are often a bit strange, we have to be careful."
Qingshuang nodded, "I agree with Hongling's opinion, but this is not the first time we have faced such a task. As long as we act carefully, there shouldn't be too many problems."
Luo Chen pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind, "Then this is it. Let's prepare first and set off early tomorrow morning."
The three left the bulletin board and began to purchase some necessities in the market.
Luo Chen bought some pills to restore spiritual power, Qingshuang picked out a few powerful talisman papers, and Hongling was interested in some special array materials.
After the purchase, they found an inn to stay in.
As night fell, the three sat in the room of the inn and began to discuss tomorrow's task.
"According to the mission description, the place where the ancient book was lost should be in an ancient ruin." Luo Chen spread out a map and pointed to a location marked with a red dot.
Qing Shuang carefully observed the map, "I have heard of this place. It is said that there was once a powerful immortal sect there, but because of a war, the entire sect was destroyed and only ruins remained."
Hong Ling frowned, "War? Will there be any danger?"
"It is possible." Luo Chen nodded, "But we can't give up the mission because of possible dangers. We just need to be fully prepared and act carefully."
