Chapter 774 Return to Xuanji Pavilion
The three of them dodged quickly and prepared to deal with new threats that might arise.
At this moment, a deep voice echoed in the cave, "You mortals, how dare you destroy my residence."
The three looked up and saw a huge figure slowly walking out from the depths of the cave.
This figure was even larger than the previous ghost, and it exuded a suffocating pressure.
"What is this?" Hong Ling's voice was trembling.
"I am the master of the Nether Valley, you ants, how dare you disturb my sleep." The voice of the figure was like thunder, which made the eardrums of the three people hurt.
Luo Chen tightly grasped the Silver Moon Ice Blade. He knew that this opponent was much stronger than the previous ghost.
"We must join forces, otherwise we can't defeat it."
Hong Ling and Qing Shuang nodded. They knew that this was their last battle.
Luo Chen took the lead in launching an attack, and the Silver Moon Ice Blade drew a cold light, trying to freeze the action of the figure.
Hong Ling followed closely behind, her swordsmanship was more fierce, and each sword contained a powerful aura.
Qingshuang once again used the secret technique of locking the secret of the heavenly secrets to try to restrict the movement of the figure.
However, the power of the Lord of the Nether Valley was far beyond their imagination. With a wave of his hand, he shook off Luo Chen's ice blade, and Hong Ling's sword energy was easily dissolved, and Qingshuang's chains could not even touch his body.
"Your power is too weak." The voice of the Lord of the Nether Valley was full of contempt.
The three were repelled by this power. They knew that they had to find a new way to fight this powerful enemy.
Luo Chen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to communicate with the power in the Silver Moon Ice Blade.
Hong Ling and Qingshuang also prepared their own secret techniques. They knew that this was their last chance.
At this moment, Luo Chen felt a warm power coming from the Silver Moon Ice Blade. He opened his eyes and saw that the light of the Silver Moon Ice Blade was getting brighter and brighter, as if responding to his call.
"Let's go together!" Luo Chen shouted, his body was surrounded by the light of the Silver Moon Ice Blade, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a ray of light.
Hong Ling and Qing Shuang also felt this power. They no longer hesitated and each used their strongest secret technique.
Luo Chen's Silver Moon Ice Blade was like a meteor that cut through the night sky, piercing the heart of the Lord of the Nether Valley.
Hong Ling's sword energy was like a violent storm, attacking the enemy all over the world.
Qing Shuang's chains were like a net, trying to trap the Lord of the Nether Valley in place.
This time, their attack finally worked.
The Lord of the Nether Valley was pierced by the Silver Moon Ice Blade and roared in pain.
Hong Ling's sword energy and Qing Shuang's chains also successfully restricted its movements.
Luo Chen knew that this was their only chance. He injected all his spiritual energy into the Silver Moon Ice Blade, and the ice blade emitted a dazzling light, as if it could freeze everything.
"Break!" Luo Chen shouted, and the Silver Moon Ice Blade completely penetrated the body of the Lord of the Nether Valley.
The body of the Lord of the Nether Valley began to tremble, and its power quickly dissipated.
Finally, with an unwilling roar, it turned into a black smoke and dissipated into the air.
Luo Chen, Hong Ling and Qing Shuang collapsed on the ground. They knew that the battle was finally over.
"It should be over now..." Luo Chen's voice was a little tired.
Hong Ling and Qing Shuang nodded. They knew that this victory was hard-won.
The three of them rested for a while, then slowly stood up and prepared to leave this cave that was once full of dangers.
However, just as they were about to leave, a low laugh came from the depths of the cave again.
The hearts of the three people tightened. They knew that things were far from over.
"Do you think you can destroy me like this?" The voice was mocking, "I am the Lord of the Nether Valley. My power is not something you mortals can imagine."
Luo Chen, Hong Ling and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that the next battle would be even more difficult.
Luo Chen tightly grasped the Silver Moon Ice Blade, and Hong Ling and Qing Shuang also prepared their own weapons and secrets.
"We have no way out, we can only fight to the end." Luo Chen said firmly.
Hong Ling nodded, pointed her sword tip at the ground, and began to chant the ancient spell in a low voice.
Qing Shuang closed his eyes, formed seals with his hands, and prepared to perform his most powerful sealing technique.
The figure of the Lord of the Nether Valley appeared in front of them again, this time it seemed more solid and more powerful.
It slowly raised its hand, and a black energy wave spread from its hand.
"Be careful!" Luo Chen shouted, and the three of them quickly dispersed, avoiding the direct impact of the energy wave.
"Your struggle is in vain." The voice of the Lord of the Nether Valley was full of disdain.
Luo Chen took a deep breath, he knew that he had to use all his strength to have a glimmer of hope.
He raised the Silver Moon Ice Blade above his head, and a cold force surged from the blade, forming a huge ice wall, trying to block the attack of the Lord of the Nether Valley.
Hong Ling and Qing Shuang also launched attacks at the same time. Hong Ling's sword energy burned like a blazing flame, while Qing Shuang's chains turned into lightning and attacked the Lord of the Nether Valley.
Facing the joint attack of the three people, the Lord of the Nether Valley just waved his hand lightly and dissolved all their attacks.
Its power seemed endless, and every attack made Luo Chen and the others feel great pressure.
"You are too weak, too weak!" The voice of the Lord of the Nether Valley was full of contempt.
Luo Chen gritted his teeth, he knew he had to find the weakness of the Lord of the Nether Valley.
He closed his eyes and tried to sense the source of the other party's power.
In the chaos, he felt a faint light, which was the source of the Lord of the Nether Valley's power.
"Its power core is in the heart!" Luo Chen shouted loudly.
Hong Ling and Qing Shuang immediately understood what Luo Chen meant, and they began to focus on attacking the heart of the Lord of the Nether Valley.
Hong Ling's sword energy became more concentrated, and Qing Shuang's chains turned into sharp arrows, pointing directly at the target.
Facing the concentrated attack of the three people, the Lord of the Nether Valley finally showed a painful expression.
Its power began to fluctuate, no longer as stable as before.
Luo Chen knew that this was their chance, he injected all his power into the Silver Moon Ice Blade, and the ice blade emitted an unprecedented light, as if to illuminate the entire cave.
"Break!" Luo Chen shouted, and the Silver Moon Ice Blade turned into a silver lightning, hitting the heart of the Lord of the Nether Valley directly.
This time, the Lord of the Nether Valley could no longer resist, and its body began to collapse, turning into pieces of black fragments, and finally dissipated into the air.
Luo Chen, Hong Ling and Qing Shuang collapsed on the ground, and they almost exhausted all their strength.
But this time, they knew that the real victory had finally arrived.
"We did it..." Luo Chen's voice was trembling.
Hong Ling and Qing Shuang both nodded, their eyes were full of fatigue, but more of the joy of victory.
The three rested for a while, then slowly stood up and prepared to leave this cave that was once full of danger.
They knew that this adventure would be the most unforgettable experience in their lives.
When they walked out of the cave, the sun shone on them, as if cheering for their victory.
They looked back at the cave, and their hearts were full of emotion.
......
After leaving this place, the three found a relatively quiet place and recuperated for several days.
Until their own state was almost restored.
Luo Chen and the other two quietly set off.
The things in the Nether Valley were over, and then it was natural to return to the market and the Tianji Pavilion.
After the mission is completed, there should be some rewards, right?
Xuanjizi, the elder of Tianji Pavilion, is still waiting for them.
Luo Chen, Hongling and Qingshuang set out on the journey back to Tianji Pavilion.
Along the way, they talked about the thrilling battle they had just experienced and the mysterious power of the Lord of the Nether Valley.
Luo Chen secretly wondered what the source of the power of the Lord of the Nether Valley was and why it could be resurrected from the dead. This made him full of expectations for the collection of books in Tianji Pavilion, hoping to find some clues.
Hongling praised Luo Chen's Silver Moon Ice Blade. She believed that it was this technique that enabled them to finally defeat the Lord of the Nether Valley.
Qingshuang was silent, but his eyes revealed deep respect for Luo Chen and Hongling.
"Luo Chen, are you really going to Tianji Pavilion to find the answer?" Hongling asked.
"Yes, I always feel that the resurrection of the Lord of the Nether Valley is not accidental, and its source of power must hide some secrets." Luo Chen replied.
Qingshuang nodded, agreeing with Luo Chen's opinion.
The three continued to move forward, passing through dense forests and climbing steep mountains.
During a break, Luo Chen took out a jade slip from his arms, which he accidentally got in the Nether Valley, and engraved with some ancient words. He handed it to Hongling and Qingshuang, hoping that they could interpret it together.
"This seems to be a record about the Lord of the Nether Valley." Hongling looked at the jade slip carefully.
"It seems that we have to speed up. If the record on this jade slip is true, then the resurrection of the Lord of the Nether Valley may be related to an ancient ritual." Qingshuang said.
Luo Chen nodded, and they decided not to rest anymore and speed up their pace to the Tianji Pavilion.
A few days later, they finally came to the market where the Tianji Pavilion was located.
The market was still bustling, and various stalls were filled with a wide variety of goods. The three did not stop and went directly to the Tianji Pavilion.
The gate of the Tianji Pavilion was still magnificent. Luo Chen and the other two walked into the pavilion and were immediately shocked by the collection of books inside.
Elder Xuanjizi had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw that the three were safe and sound, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
"You are back. It seems that the mission has been completed." Xuanjizi said.
Luo Chen nodded and handed the jade slip of the Lord of the Nether Valley to Xuanjizi.
Xuanjizi took the jade slip and looked at it carefully, his face became solemn.
"The record on this jade slip is extraordinary. You did a good job." Xuanjizi said, "The resurrection of the Lord of the Nether Valley is indeed related to an ancient ritual. This ritual requires specific conditions to complete."
"Then what should we do next?" Hongling asked.
"You need to go to the Nether Valley, find traces of the ritual, and completely destroy it to prevent the Lord of the Nether Valley from resurrecting again." Xuanjizi said seriously.
Luo Chen and the other two looked at each other. They knew that this would be a more dangerous mission, but in order to solve the problem thoroughly, they had no reason to retreat.
"We understand, elder." Luo Chen answered firmly.
Xuanjizi nodded, took out three treasures from his arms, and handed them to Luo Chen and the other two.
"These are three amulets that can protect you at critical moments." Xuanjizi said.
Luo Chen and the other two took the amulet, saluted Xuanjizi again, and then left Tianji Pavilion and set off for the Nether Valley.
......
Three days later.
They were only a short distance away from the Nether Valley.
"Hmm? There seems to be a sound of fighting ahead, do you want to go and take a look?"
Luo Chen frowned, he could feel the familiar cold breath, it seemed that the shadow of the Lord of the Nether Valley had not completely dissipated.
Hongling and Qingshuang also noticed something strange, the three of them exchanged glances and decided to go and investigate.
"Be careful, there may be an ambush." Luo Chen reminded in a low voice.
They approached the source of the sound quietly, and saw a group of people in black besieging a woman.
Although the woman was extraordinary, she was obviously overwhelmed and had multiple injuries on her body.
"Stop!" Luo Chen shouted, and the three immediately rushed into the battle group.
Hong Ling's sword energy was like a rainbow, Qing Shuang's chains were as flexible as snakes, and Luo Chen waved the Silver Moon Ice Blade to repel the men in black one by one.
Seeing this, the woman took the opportunity to retreat to the side, panting.
"Thank you all for your help." The woman said gratefully.
Luo Chen looked at her and saw that she had a pretty face and was wearing a lavender dress. Although she looked a little embarrassed, she had an extraordinary temperament.
"Who are you? Why are you besieged here?"
The woman sighed and said slowly: "My name is Hong Liu. I am a disciple of a small sect nearby. Our sect accidentally discovered the secret of the Nether Valley, and was hunted down by these men in black."
Luo Chen was shocked. The secret of the Nether Valley? Could it be related to the ritual they were looking for?
"Miss Hong Liu, do you know the origin of these men in black?" Hong Ling asked.
Hongliu shook her head, "They never reveal their identities, they just keep chasing us."
Qingshuang was silent for a moment and then said, "It seems that we have to be careful. The things in the Nether Valley may be more complicated than we thought."
Luo Chen nodded and decided to take Hongliu with him.
They needed more information, and Hongliu might be able to provide some clues.
"Miss Hongliu, can you take us to your sect? Maybe there are clues we need there." Luo Chen suggested.
Hongliu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, but you must be careful, there may be remnants of the black-clothed men in the sect."
So, the four of them set out on the road to Hongliu Sect together.
Along the way, Luo Chen and Hongliu had a good conversation. He found that Hongliu was not only good at martial arts, but also knew a lot about the Nether Valley.
A few days later, they finally arrived at Hongliu's sect.
The sect was in a mess, obviously after a fierce battle.
Hongliu took them to a secret study room, which contained ancient books and information of the sect.
