Chapter 685 Netherworld Stones, burn them all!!

In this process, Luo Chen and Yun Tu not only deepened their friendship, but also made many like-minded friends.

They found that although they came from different sects and backgrounds, they could put aside their prejudices and work together when facing a common enemy.

This power of unity made Luo Chen feel deeply relieved and full of hope for the future.

However, the peaceful days did not last long.

With the retreat of the monsters, a more secretive and powerful force began to stir around Beihong City.

This force seemed to be inextricably linked to the monsters, but it was more cunning and elusive.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu discovered the clues of this force by chance.

They found that this force was secretly collecting a mysterious ore called "Netherworld Stone", which was said to be related to an ancient evil magic that could enhance the power of practitioners, but would also make the user gradually lose their mind and eventually become a monster that only knew how to kill.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Luo Chen and Yun Tu decided to investigate this force in depth.

They knew that they might not be able to fight against the entire organization with just the strength of two people, but they believed that as long as the truth could be revealed, it would surely arouse more people's vigilance and resistance.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Yun Tu shuttled through various corners of Beihong City, collecting intelligence about this force.

They found that this force not only had activities in Beihong City, but also infiltrated many surrounding towns and villages.

Their actions became more and more rampant, and they even began to blatantly attack innocent people and rob resources.

Faced with such a situation, Luo Chen and Yun Tu decided not to sit idly by.

They united many cultivators and warriors in Beihong City and surrounding areas to form a resistance army.

......

Beihong City.

In the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord of Beihong City was sitting on the main seat for this matter.

Luo Chen, Yun Tu.

And the rest of the practitioners were all on the side.

"Everyone."

The City Lord's voice was steady and powerful, penetrating every corner of the hall, focusing everyone's attention on him.

"In recent days, our Beihong City and surrounding areas have suffered unprecedented threats. That mysterious force is not only powerful, but also cruel, and has caused serious damage to our peaceful life."

The city lord's words revealed deep worry, but his eyes were extremely firm.

"Our Beihong City has been a paradise since ancient times. How can we allow these villains to wreak havoc here?"

"What the city lord said is absolutely right!"

Luo Chen stood up and said in a loud voice: "We practitioners were born to protect this land and ordinary people. Now that a strong enemy is invading, we should stand up and eliminate this evil."

Yuntu also echoed: "Brother Luo Chen is right. We must not sit and wait for death. We must take the initiative to uproot that force and restore peace to Beihong City!"

The city lord nodded, with a gratified smile on his face.

"With young talents like you, how can Beihong City not prosper? However, that force is not trivial after all. We must make a careful plan to ensure that it is foolproof."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.

In the following period of time, they had a heated discussion on how to deal with that force.

In the end, a bold and careful plan gradually took shape.

According to the plan, Luo Chen, Yuntu and several highly skilled practitioners will form an elite team to sneak into the core area of ​​that force, collect more intelligence and find opportunities to defeat the enemy.

The rest of the practitioners and warriors will stay in Beihong City, responsible for protecting the safety of the city and the people, and ready to support the actions of the elite team at any time.

After the plan was formulated, everyone began to make intensive preparations.

They each returned to their own residence, practiced their skills, adjusted their states, and took action as soon as the opportunity came.

Finally, on a windy and dark night, the elite team quietly left Beihong City and headed towards the core area of ​​that force.

Along the way, they encountered many obstacles.

Not only were there patrols from that force constantly harassing them, but there were also various traps and mechanisms waiting for them.

But with their superb cultivation and tacit cooperation, they resolved all these crises and gradually approached their goal.

Finally, in a desolate valley, they found the secret base of that force.

The base was surrounded by powerful formations, forming an indestructible protective shield.

But this was not a problem for Luo Chen and Yun Tu.

They smiled at each other, their spiritual power surged, and they exerted their strongest magical powers at the same time.

Two bright lights burst out from their bodies, instantly breaking through the shackles of the protective shield and heading straight to the depths of the base.

Inside the base, they encountered more enemies.

These enemies were the core members of that force, with high cultivation and ruthless means.

But the elite team was not afraid at all. With their firm belief and extraordinary strength, they launched a fierce battle with the enemy.

During the battle, Luo Chen's swordsmanship was as fierce as a dragon and a tiger, and each sword contained the power to destroy the world.

Yuntu's magic was like a net that bound the enemy tightly and made it impossible to escape.

The other practitioners also played to their strengths and fought a desperate battle with the enemy.

After a hard fight, they finally wiped out all the core members of that force and found the secret warehouse where that force collected the Nether Stone.

In the warehouse, they found a large number of Nether Stones and some ancient books and instruments related to evil magic.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu knew the harm of these Nether Stones and evil magic, so they decided to destroy them all to prevent them from falling into the hands of evil people.

So, they joined forces to turn the entire warehouse into a sea of ​​fire.

With the collapse of the warehouse and the extinguishing of the flames, the threat of that force in Beihong City and the surrounding areas was completely eliminated.

Victory, finally arrived.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu stood on the ruins, looking at the rising sun in the distance.

"Brother Yun Tu, what should we do next?"

Luo Chen turned his head and looked at Yun Tu and asked.

Yuntu smiled slightly: "Of course, we should continue to practice and improve our strength. Only when we become stronger can we do what we want to do."

Luochen nodded in agreement: "That's right! Only when we are strong can we do what we want to do and protect the people we want to protect."

......

Soon after.

Yuntu left.

After all, this matter is over, and there is no point for him to stay in Beihong City.

At this moment, Luochen returned to Beihong City and entered a restaurant.

He ordered a table of food and wine in great comfort.

While eating, he listened to the gossip of others in the restaurant.

This life is still leisurely.

"Have you heard about it?"

"Beihong City, Dongcheng District, it seems that there is a family of the Bai family who suddenly died tragically."

Luochen heard the gossip in the restaurant, frowned slightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and listened attentively.

"Bai family? Dongcheng District?"

He said to himself, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

The Bai family is a prestigious family in Beihong City. Although it is not a top force, it is also a force that cannot be ignored in the city.

Luo Chen had met the head of the Bai family several times before. He knew that their family had always been low-key and kind to others. Suddenly, the whole family died tragically. There must be an unknown secret behind this.

He stood up and decided to go to Dongcheng District to find out the truth.

Luo Chen walked out of the restaurant, crossed the bustling streets, and headed straight for Dongcheng District.

Along the way, he noticed that the atmosphere in the city seemed a little strange, and there was a trace of uneasiness and worry on the faces of pedestrians.

After arriving in Dongcheng District, Luo Chen found that the Bai family's mansion had been blocked and guarded by the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.

He walked up and asked a guard about the situation.

"Brother, what happened to the Bai family? Why are there so many guards here?"

Luo Chen asked.

The guard looked Luo Chen up and down, and seeing that he had an extraordinary demeanor, he whispered: "My lord, the Bai family was attacked by an unknown force last night, and the entire family was wiped out."

"After the city lord learned about this, he immediately sent people to seal off the scene and investigate the matter."

After hearing this, Luo Chen's heart sank.

Is the Bai family's extermination related to the mysterious force they had previously fought against?

He decided to investigate the matter in depth and find out the truth.

Luo Chen bypassed the Bai family's mansion and began to inquire about the news in Dongcheng District.

He used his network of connections in the city to ask many local residents and businessmen, and finally got some clues from an old man.

"I heard fighting and screaming from the Bai family last night, but when I rushed over, everything was over."

"I only saw the Bai family's mansion on fire, and no one inside came out."

The old man recalled.

Luo Chen thanked the old man and had already made up his mind.

He decided to visit the Bai family at night to see if he could find more clues.

As night fell, Luo Chen changed into a black suit and quietly sneaked into the Bai family mansion.

The mansion was in a mess, with traces of fighting everywhere and blood on the ground.

He carefully searched the mansion and finally found an abandoned diary in a hidden corner.

Luo Chen opened the diary and found that it recorded some recent abnormalities of the Bai family, including some unidentified people frequently appearing near the Bai family and the Bai family head's concerns about the future of the family.

Luo Chen put the diary away and was about to leave when he suddenly felt a strong spiritual power fluctuation.

He quickly hid his figure and saw a man in black walking out of the dark with a black box in his hand.

"Is this the reason why the Bai family was wiped out?"

Luo Chen thought to himself and decided to follow the man in black.

The man in black seemed to be very familiar with the Bai family mansion. He walked through the ruins and came to a hidden basement.

Luo Chen followed closely behind, carefully not making any noise.

In the basement, the man in black opened the black box, and inside was a stone that exuded the aura of the Netherworld.

Luo Chen was shocked. Wasn't this the Netherworld Stone they had found in the secret base of that force before?

Shouldn't they have been destroyed before?

How come there are still some left?

......

The man in black took out the Netherworld Stone and muttered something, as if he was performing some kind of evil magic.

Luo Chen knew he couldn't wait any longer, he had to stop the man in black.

At the critical moment when the man in black was about to complete the evil magic, Luo Chen suddenly made a move, and a sword energy shot directly at the man in black.

The man in black was caught off guard and hit by the sword energy, and the Nether Stone in his hand fell to the ground.

"Who are you? Why do you want to ruin my plan?"

The man in black glared at Luo Chen, with a flash of panic in his eyes.

Luo Chen sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that your evil magic must not appear in Beihong City."

The two immediately started a fierce battle.

The man in black was not weak in cultivation, but Luo Chen relied on his extraordinary combat experience and swordsmanship to finally subdue the man in black.

Under Luo Chen's questioning, the man in black revealed that he was the remnant of the mysterious force, and attempted to use the power of the Nether Stone to create chaos in Beihong City to achieve their evil purpose.

Luo Chen handed the man in black to the City Lord's Mansion for processing, and handed over the Nether Stone and diary for further investigation.

After the city lord learned about this, he expressed his deep gratitude to Luo Chen and ordered a thorough investigation of possible hidden dangers in the city.

And Luo Chen naturally did not participate in this matter.

The most important forces were all defeated.

Now, only a part of the remnants remain.

The City Lord's Mansion alone is enough to deal with it easily.

......

The next day.

Luo Chen woke up early and walked leisurely on the streets of Beihong City.

On the street, many people were hawking.

Luo Chen strolled in the bustling crowd, his eyes swept over various stalls.

He walked past a cloth shop, and the proprietress was enthusiastically selling her goods to passers-by.

Luo Chen stopped and his eyes fell on a piece of light blue cloth. The color reminded him of the sky he had seen in a distant place.

"Sir, you have a good eye. This cloth is new. It is soft and the color is the most popular this year."

The proprietress saw Luo Chen stop and hurried forward to introduce it.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, nodded, and was about to ask about the price. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a scene on the corner of the street.

A group of people gathered there, and they seemed to be watching something.

"Boss lady, I'll come back later."

Luo Chen said to the boss lady and walked quickly towards the crowd.

He squeezed into the crowd and found a ragged old man standing in the center. The old man was holding a worn-out map in his hand and was telling something to the people around him.

Luo Chen leaned in and listened. The old man seemed to be telling a legend about an ancient treasure.

"This map is the key to the legendary 'Tianlong Treasure'!" The old man's voice was full of mysterious temptation.

Luo Chen's heart moved. Although he was not interested in the treasure, he was very curious about the secrets that might be hidden behind this legend.

However, no one at the scene seemed to believe the old man's words.

It was just that what the old man said was nonsense.
