Chapter 682 The matter has come to an end, leaving Qingfeng City!
After everyone heard the words, they responded one after another, raised their glasses and drank together, and the atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi looked at each other and smiled. They knew that this honor not only belonged to them personally, but also to all those who fought for Qingfeng City.
Their hearts were full of gratitude, to the comrades who fought side by side, to the people who silently supported them, and even more to the heroes who sacrificed their lives for peace and justice.
In the middle of the banquet, the head of Yunyin Villa stood up, his eyes were deep and warm.
He said slowly: "Heroes, although today's victory is gratifying, we still need to remain vigilant."
"Although the Blood Moon Cult was defeated, its foundation has not been eliminated and there is still the possibility of a comeback."
"Therefore, we must continue to strengthen our alert and improve our capabilities to cope with future challenges."
He paused and continued: "At the same time, I also hope that our Yunyin Villa and your Qingfeng City can establish a closer cooperative relationship to jointly protect the peace and tranquility of this place."
...
late at night.
After the banquet, Luo Chen came to a guest room in the city lord's palace.
He stood by the window, looking at the moonlight at this moment.
"The Blood Moon Cult matter has come to an end for the time being."
Luo Chen thought secretly in his heart, but the heaviness was not completely dissipated by the victory.
The moonlight was like water, shining on his body, coating his resolute face with a layer of silver, adding a bit of loneliness and contemplation.
At this moment, a slight knock on the door broke the silence in the room.
Luo Chen turned around and saw Liang Qi pushing in the door, with a hint of alcohol lingering on his face, but his eyes were still clear.
"Brother Luo, aren't you asleep yet?"
he asked softly.
Luo Chen smiled slightly and pointed to the moonlight outside the window: "The moonlight is just right. I want to see more of this hard-won peace."
Liang Qi walked to Luo Chen and looked out the window: "Yes, this victory is hard to come by. We cannot relax at all."
"Although the Blood Moon Cult has been defeated, the forces behind it are complicated and we still need to be vigilant."
The two of them were silent for a moment, both seemed to be silently planning the future in their hearts.
Luo Chen turned to look at Liang Qi, his eyes full of trust and expectation, "Brother Liang, what are your plans next?"
Liang Qi pondered for a moment and said: "I plan to return to Yunyin Villa later on and practice in seclusion for a period of time to improve my cultivation and strength."
Luo Chen nodded, and then said: "This is a good idea. After this battle, I also feel that my cultivation and strength are somewhat insufficient, so I plan to leave the villa to continue training."
After Luo Chen finished speaking, the atmosphere between the two became more solemn, but there was also a hint of tacit understanding and understanding.
Liang Qi patted Luo Chen on the shoulder and said firmly: "Brother Luo, no matter where you go, please remember that Yunyin Villa will always be your backing. If necessary, just give an order and we will be there." Go all out."
A warm current surged in Luo Chen's heart, and he knew how precious this friendship was.
He smiled back and said: "Brother Liang, don't worry, if that day comes, I will never be polite."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and all their words turned into a silent understanding.
Later, Liang Qi brought up another matter: "By the way, Brother Luo, do you know that there seems to be a deeper secret hidden behind the Blood Moon Cult?"
Luo Chen frowned slightly when he heard this. He did feel some unusual aura during the battle, but he couldn't tell what it was specifically.
So, he asked: "What did Brother Liang discover?"
Liang Qi pondered for a moment and said: "When I was fighting against cult masters, I heard them mention a place called the 'Blood Moon Holy Land'.
It is said that this Blood Moon Holy Land is the real mastermind behind the cult. They control multiple cult forces in an attempt to cause a bloody storm in the world. "
Luo Chen was shocked when he heard this.
He had never heard of this Blood Moon Holy Land, but from Liang Qi's description, he could feel the power and mystery of this organization.
He said in a deep voice: "Brother Liang, have you ever known more about this Blood Moon Holy Land?"
Liang Qi shook his head and said: "I only learned about this name from a few words from the cult master. The specific situation is not clear, but I believe that this Blood Moon Holy Land must have an ulterior purpose, and we must be careful to guard against it."
Luo Chen nodded, thinking secretly in his heart.
He knew that the emergence of this Blood Moon Holy Land would undoubtedly bring new threats to this continent.
He must improve his strength as soon as possible in order to remain invincible in future challenges.
Afterwards, the two chatted about their experiences in cultivation and martial arts.
Liang Qi's extensive knowledge and profound understanding of martial arts benefited Luo Chen a lot.
It's late at night, and the moonlight outside the window is brighter.
Luo Chen and Liang Qi knew that they were about to embark on their own journeys.
But they believe that no matter what the future holds, their friendship and faith will always remain the same.
When they parted, Liang Qi held Luo Chen's hand tightly and said, "Brother Luo, take care! I look forward to the day when we can fight side by side again."
Luo Chen responded with a firm look and said: "Brother Liang, don't worry, I will do it, and so will you, take care!"
After saying that, the two of them turned around and embarked on their own journeys.
Their figures gradually faded away under the moonlight, but their firm beliefs and deep friendship remained in each other's hearts forever.
...
early morning.
The sky was gray and dawned.
After finishing the things in Qingfeng City, Luo Chen also embarked on the road of continuing his self-training.
Outside the city, there were farmlands.
Countless people were working in the farmlands.
Luo Chen rode his horse and slowly passed through the vibrant fields, his heart full of awe and gratitude for this land.
He knew that it was these hardworking people who nourished this land with their hands and sweat, and also supported the prosperity and tranquility of Qingfeng City.
As the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, Luo Chen came to the edge of a dense forest.
He tightened the reins, stopped the horse, and looked deeply into the depths of the forest.
This forest is said to hide many adventures and dangers, and is an excellent place for practitioners to train and explore.
Luo Chen took a deep breath, and a strong desire for challenge surged in his heart.
He turned over and got off the horse, tied the horse to a tree beside him, and then carried a long sword on his back and walked into the forest.
The sun shines through the dense treetops, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of mystery and unpredictability to this quiet forest.
Luo Chen carefully shuttled through the forest path, always alert to the movements around him.
He knew that in this forest, there were not only ferocious beasts, but also cunning thieves and hidden traps.
He had to remain highly alert to ensure his safety.
After walking for about half an hour, Luo Chen suddenly heard a subtle sound coming from the front.
He immediately stopped, held his breath, and listened attentively.
The sound was getting closer and closer, as if something was approaching him.
Luo Chen quickly drew out his long sword and took a defensive posture.
At this moment, a huge wild boar suddenly rushed out of the bushes and ran straight towards him.
Seeing this, Luo Chen flashed and lightly avoided the collision of the wild boar, then took the opportunity to swing a sword and accurately stabbed the wild boar's neck.
The wild boar howled miserably, fell to the ground and struggled for a few times before it stopped moving.
Luo Chen put away his sword, walked to the wild boar, and checked its injuries.
After confirming that the wild boar was dead, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to deal with the wild boar.
He cut off the most tender meat from the wild boar, wrapped it with leaves, and hung it around his waist as dry food.
Then, he continued to go deeper into the forest, secretly alert in his heart.
In the depths of the forest, not only monsters are rampant, but also many unknown dangers are lurking.
Luo Chen understood that in order to survive in this dangerous place, in addition to strong strength, extraordinary wisdom and keen observation are also needed.
As the sun gradually rose, the sunlight shone through the dense leaves, casting mottled light and shadow.
Luo Chen shuttled through this world of light and shadow, and every step seemed to be extremely cautious.
He used his senses to carefully capture the subtle changes in the surrounding environment to prevent accidents.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance came to his nose, which made Luo Chen feel refreshed.
He immediately realized that the fragrance was not formed naturally, but someone deliberately made it.
He quickly looked around, trying to find the source of the fragrance.
However, there was nothing unusual around except for the dense trees and the occasional bird calls.
Luo Chen was secretly alert in his heart, he knew that the fragrance might be some kind of trap or bait.
He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and continued to move forward.
However, just as he was about to walk out of this area, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the front.
Luo Chen immediately stopped, grasped the long sword, and looked forward vigilantly.
I saw several figures in black clothes and ghostly masks approaching him quickly.
They held long knives, and their eyes flashed with cold light, obviously they were not friendly.
"Who are you?"
Luo Chen asked in a deep voice, while secretly adjusting the blood and qi in his body to prepare for the upcoming battle.
"Hmph, you don't need to know who we are."
One of the men in black sneered: "You only need to know that today is your death day!"
Before he finished speaking, several men in black swung their swords at Luo Chen at the same time.
Luo Chen flashed and dodged the first wave of attacks lightly, then quickly counterattacked.
He swung his long sword, and the sword light was like weaving, and he instantly started a fierce confrontation with the men in black.
After several rounds, Luo Chen gradually gained the upper hand with his superb swordsmanship and keen combat awareness.
He saw the opportunity and pierced the chest of one of the men in black with a sword.
The man in black screamed and fell to the ground and died.
However, the remaining men in black did not retreat, but rushed towards Luo Chen more frantically.
Luo Chen snorted coldly and swung his long sword more fiercely.
He used his flexible body movements and exquisite swordsmanship to constantly look for the flaws of the men in black.
After a fierce battle, Luo Chen finally knocked down all the men in black.
He stood there, panting and looking at the corpses on the ground, his heart full of vigilance and doubt.
He didn't understand why these men in black suddenly appeared here to attack him, and he didn't know who was behind them.
Just as Luo Chen was thinking, a faint wind suddenly came from behind him.
He turned around immediately and saw a young man in white clothes and a handsome face standing not far away and looking at him quietly.
"Who are you?"
Luo Chen asked vigilantly.
The young man smiled slightly and slowly walked towards Luo Chen.
"I'm just a casual cultivator. My name is Yuntu."
He introduced himself: "I sensed the atmosphere of fighting here, so I rushed over to check the situation."
Yuntu's voice was gentle and clear, as if it could penetrate the noise of the dense forest and reach Luochen's heart.
His eyes revealed a kind of detached indifference, which was incompatible with the tense atmosphere around him.
Luochen looked up and down at the young man who suddenly appeared. Although he was on guard, his words and deeds made him feel an inexplicable intimacy and trust.
He slightly relaxed his hand holding the long sword and asked slowly: "Brother Yuntu, do you know where these black-clothed men came from? Why did they attack me?"
Yuntu shook his head gently, frowned slightly and said: "These black-clothed men have mysterious identities and act treacherously. I have never seen them before."
"However, judging from their actions, they are obviously well-trained and are definitely not ordinary people."
"As for why they attacked you, I am afraid it is related to your recent actions."
Luochen couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this.
He recalled his recent experiences in Qingfeng City and those who had a grudge against him.
Could it be that these men in black were the killers they sent?
He pondered for a moment and said to Yuntu: "Brother Yuntu is right. Maybe I did get into some trouble, but I, Luochen, act openly and honestly and never fear any challenge. If these men in black come again, I will make sure they never come back!"
Yuntu smiled slightly when he heard this, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
He patted Luochen on the shoulder and said: "Brother Luochen, since you have such lofty ambitions, I, Yuntu, naturally cannot stand idly by."
"How about this, I will go with you, so that I can take care of you."
Luochen was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed his hands to thank him: "Thank you for your help, brother Yuntu! With you by my side, my trip will be smoother!"
The two smiled at each other, and then walked side by side and continued to go deeper into the forest.
With Yuntu's company, Luochen felt that the pressure in his heart was relieved a lot.
As they walked, they talked about their respective training experiences and insights into martial arts, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
As time went by, they gradually went deeper into the core area of the forest.
The trees here were taller and thicker, and the branches and leaves were so dense that they almost covered the sky.
The sun could only barely penetrate the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.
The air was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if hiding countless secrets.
Luo Chen and Yun Tu both felt that this place was unusual.
They slowed down their pace and observed the situation around them more vigilantly.
At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the front, shaking the surrounding trees slightly.
The two looked at each other, and a trace of solemnity flashed in their eyes.
