Chapter 690 Mysterious man in black? Ruins map!

Luo Chen pondered for a moment. He originally planned to continue his journey, but looking at the elder's sincere eyes, his heart softened and he nodded: "Okay, I can stay in the town for a few days."

The elder was overjoyed and quickly called on the residents of the town to prepare the best guest rooms and food to show his gratitude to Luochen.

Luochen's life in Qingyun Town was quite pleasant.

During these days in Qingyun Town, Luochen's soul was cleansed again.

He began to understand that the practice of swordsmanship is not only the improvement of personal martial arts, but also a contribution and responsibility to the world around him.

Every time he helped others, he gained a deeper understanding of kendo.

However, the good times did not last long, and the peaceful life in Qingyun Town was soon broken.

This time, it was not bandits, but a group of mysterious men in black who suddenly appeared in the town. They seemed to be looking for something or someone.

Luochen noticed these uninvited guests while walking in the town.

Their actions were stealthy and organized, and they were obviously no ordinary robbers or gangsters.

Luochen decided to observe secretly to see what the purpose of these men in black was.

As night fell, Luo Chen quietly followed one of the men in black to a dense forest outside the town.

There, he heard a conversation between men in black.

"Is the news confirmed? Is he really here?"

a deep voice asked.

"It's absolutely true, our informant can't be wrong."

Another voice answered.

"That's good. We must not let him escape this time. The higher-ups are very interested in him. We must take him back."

Luo Chen wasn't sure who he was in these people's mouths.

But he felt that this kind of thing.

Maybe you should take care of yourself a little bit.

Luochen hid in the shadows of the dense forest, his breath blending with the night wind, almost silent.

He listened carefully, trying to get more clues from the conversation of the man in black.

However, the men in black seemed to be tight-lipped about their targets, revealing the mystery and importance of the other party's identity in just a few words.

"We have to be careful, this guy is no ordinary person."

The deep voice from before sounded again, with a hint of warning.

"Don't worry, we are well prepared and there is no room for error in this operation."

Another voice responded, confidence evident in his tone.

Luochen knew that he could not let these men in black succeed.

He decided to go back to the town first to warn the townspeople of the possible danger and to look for possible clues as to who the men in black were looking for.

Returning to Qingyun Town, Luo Chen immediately found the elder and told him the content of the conversation he heard.

After hearing this, the elder's face became solemn: "It seems that there may be someone they want hidden in our town. We must be more vigilant, and at the same time find this person and protect him from these men in black." ”

Luochen nodded: "I agree, we need to act as soon as possible, but we must also be careful not to cause unnecessary panic."

So, Luochen and the elder began to investigate secretly in the town, trying to find out what the man in black was looking for.

They questioned the residents of the town and checked recent outsider records, but found nothing suspicious for a while.

Just when they almost gave up, a young girl found Luochen.

She looked a little nervous, but her eyes were firm.

"I might know who you're looking for."

The girl whispered.

Luo Chen and the elder looked at each other and felt a glimmer of hope.

"Please tell me."

Luo Chen encouraged.

The girl took a deep breath and then began to tell: "A few days ago, a stranger came to our town. He looked tired and had injuries on his body."

"He told me that he was being hunted by some unknown persons and that I hid him in the cellar of my house."

After hearing this, Luo Chen and the elder realized that this stranger might be the target that the man in black was looking for.

They decided to meet the stranger immediately and find out what was going on.

Under the leadership of the girl, Luochen and the elder came to the girl's home.

The girl carefully opened the cellar door, and a man with a haggard face but firm eyes appeared in front of them.

When the man saw Luo Chen and the elder, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, but he soon relaxed.

"Who are you?"

the man asked.

Luochen briefly introduced himself and the elder, and then asked directly: "Why are you being hunted?"

The man was silent for a while, then slowly said: "It's just for my own benefit..."

His voice was slightly hoarse.

However, his eyes were filled with a strong will to survive.

"Are you a cultivator?"

"If so, if I tell you what I found, can you kill those people and save my life?"

The man's words surprised everyone except Luo Chen.

Immortal cultivator, this title is rarely heard in a small place like Qingyun Town. It is usually associated with the legendary omnipotent immortal.

"Yes, I am an immortal cultivator."

Luochen's answer made everyone present feel an inexplicable sense of relief.

Immortal cultivators, this identity seems to represent strength and hope in their hearts.

The man nodded, seemingly not surprised by Luo Chen's answer.

He took a deep breath and began to tell his story.

"My name is Su Bai, and I am a casual cultivator."

"I accidentally discovered an ancient immortal cultivation site, which contains powerful immortal cultivation resources."

"But the news leaked out and was known by a powerful immortal cultivation sect."

"In order to monopolize these resources, they sent their masters to hunt me down and seize the map of the ruins in my hand."

Su Bai took out a yellowed parchment from his arms, on which were drawn complex symbols and routes.

"This is the map of the ruins. I wanted to give it to the sect in exchange for the opportunity to join the sect, but I didn't expect them to kill me."

Luo Chen took the map and looked at it carefully.

He could feel the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy on the map, which was indeed not an ordinary thing.

"I promise you that I will protect you from leaving here safely."

Luo Chen said firmly: "But you must tell me, what are the strengths of those who are chasing you?"

Su Bai's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he began to describe the strength and characteristics of the pursuers in detail.

As Luo Chen listened, he was thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

Su Bai described it carefully.

The elder took action immediately, knowing that Luo Chen's decision was related to the safety of the entire town.

As the night deepened, Luo Chen came to the dense forest outside the town alone.

He took a deep breath and released his breath, which was a provocation to those who were chasing him.

Soon, the men in black appeared around him like ghosts.

Their eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Who are you?"

"You should leave quickly, otherwise you will lose your life."

The leading man in black said coldly.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, and there was no fear in his eyes, but a calm confidence.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you can't complete your task today."

Luo Chen's voice was calm and firm, as if stating an established fact.

The leading man in black had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then turned to anger.

He obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to challenge them openly.

"Arrogant! Who do you think you are? We are the elites of the Black Wind Sect. How can you, a human being, compete with us?"

The man in black sneered, and the other men in black around him also showed sarcastic smiles.

Luo Chen did not speak again. He just slowly raised his hand, and a powerful spiritual energy wave emanated from his palm, forming a series of visible ripples.

The men in black felt the oppression of this power, and their faces became solemn.

They knew that this seemingly ordinary human in front of them actually possessed power that they could not imagine.

"Go!"

At the command of the leading man in black, the men in black drew their weapons and attacked Luo Chen.

Luo Chen's figure flashed, and he shuttled through the crowd of black-clothed people like a ghost, and every time he attacked, he accurately hit the vital points of the men in black.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and every attack was accompanied by a groan and the sound of falling to the ground.

The battle was coming to an end in a very short time. The men in black fell one after another. The leading man in black looked at his men who had lost their fighting power one by one, and there was an unbelievable look in his eyes.

"Who... who are you?"

The leading man in black trembled in his voice, and he began to realize that he was not facing an ordinary human being.

Luo Chen did not answer, but said lightly: "Go back and tell your sect leader that I will protect Su Bai. If he still has the courage, let him come to see me in person."

The leading man in black gritted his teeth and finally retreated in a panic with the remaining men.

Luo Chen looked at their backs as they went away, and he knew in his heart that this battle was only a temporary victory.

The Black Wind Sect was powerful, and they would never give up.

He had to find a safe place as soon as possible so that Su Bai could rest and study the map of the ancient immortal ruins.

Back in town, Luo Chen found Su Bai and the elders and told them the result of the battle.

"You did a good job, Luo Chen."

The elder looked at Luo Chen approvingly: "But we can't take it lightly, the revenge of the Black Wind Sect will come soon."

Su Bai also looked at Luo Chen gratefully, he knew that he owed Luo Chen a huge favor.

"Don't worry, I will protect your life."

Luo Chen's promise made Su Bai's heart surge with warmth, but at the same time he also knew that the dispute he was involved in was far from simple.

Su Bai knew that the Black Wind Sect was powerful and they would not easily let go of any existence that might threaten their interests.

"Luo Chen, are you really willing to be an enemy of the Black Wind Sect for me?"

Su Bai's voice was filled with a hint of guilt and uneasiness.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, his eyes firm and clear: "Su Bai, since I promised you, I will never break my promise, and I am not afraid of any challenge."

The elder nodded aside, he knew Luo Chen's potential and determination, and understood the seriousness of this battle.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "Luo Chen, Su Bai, I may know a place where you can hide for a while."

Luo Chen and Su Bai looked at the elder, their eyes full of expectation.

"To the north of Qingyun Town, there is an ancient mountain called Yunyin Peak."

"The mountain there is steep and foggy, and it is difficult for ordinary people to climb."

"Moreover, it was also a place where immortal cultivators practiced. It seems to have many formations. Even for people from the Black Wind Sect, it is not easy to find and break through it."

The elder said slowly.

After hearing this, Luo Chen and Su Bai felt relieved.

Su Bai was even more grateful. He didn't expect to meet such a righteous person in this small place.

"Then when do we set off?"

Su Bai asked eagerly.

"Without further ado, let's leave now." Luo Chen said decisively.

So, the three of them quietly left Qingyun Town under the cover of night and headed towards Yunyin Peak.

Along the way, Luo Chen carried Su Bai on his back because his injury had not fully recovered and he had difficulty moving.

After a night's trek, they finally arrived at the foot of Yunyin Peak.

Looking up, I saw towering mountain peaks reaching into the clouds, and the mountainside was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

The elder led them along a secret path, avoiding many traps and formations along the way.

Finally, they came to a hidden cave.

The elder took out a simple jade pendant from his arms, pressed it gently, and the stone door of the cave slowly opened.

There is a unique cave inside the cave. It is not only spacious and bright, but also well-organized. It is obviously a place for long-term residence.

"This is the place where the immortal cultivator I mentioned once practiced. This can be your temporary refuge."

The elder said.

Luo Chen and Su Bai were grateful for the elder's arrangement.

They knew that with such a safe place, Su Bai could rest in peace and recuperate, and Luo Chen could also start studying the map of the ancient immortal cultivator ruins.

In the following days, Luochen took care of Su Bai and studied the map.

Su Bai's injury gradually improved under Luo Chen's careful care.

The secrets on the map were gradually revealed by Luo Chen.

Late one night, while Luochen was studying the map, he suddenly discovered a special place on the map that he had never discovered before.

"If so, the information above is true."

"What I can gain this time will probably far exceed my imagination."

Luochen's heartbeat accelerated, and he realized that he might have touched a huge secret.

The special location marked on the map seems to hide some kind of powerful power, or it may be an undiscovered relic of immortal cultivation.

He immediately woke up Su Bai and told him the discovery.

Although Su Bai's injury has not healed, his eyes shone with excitement after hearing the news.

He knew that if the information on the map was true, then they would not only be able to find powerful power to fight against the Black Wind Sect, but they might even change their current destiny.

"Luochen, we have to be careful."

Su Bai reminded: "Once such a secret is leaked, it will probably arouse the covetousness of countless people."

Luochen nodded. He understood the importance of this secret and the danger they faced.
