Chapter 703: The matter of White Elephant City is over!

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and immediately realized that things might not be simple.

They quickly followed the messenger to the government office.

After arriving at the government office, Lord Zhang immediately came up to them, his face more serious than last time.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, we just got the news that the remnants of Black Wind Ridge began to massacre the people in the nearby villages." Lord Zhang's voice was a little anxious.

After hearing this, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's hearts sank.

Luo Chen clenched his fists, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "These beasts dared to kill innocent people like this!"

Qing Shuang's face also showed a firm look: "We can't sit idly by, we must act as soon as possible."

Lord Zhang nodded, his tone heavy: "I have organized a rescue team, but we need your help. You know the situation in Black Wind Ridge best, and only you can find the hiding place of those remnants."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang agreed immediately without any hesitation.

They knew that time is life, and every minute of delay may cause more innocent people to die.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the rescue team and quietly marched towards Black Wind Ridge.

They knew that this operation was not only for rescue, but also for completely eradicating the evil forces in Black Wind Ridge.

The team traveled in the night, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the way in front. They used their familiarity with the terrain to avoid possible ambushes in Black Wind Ridge.

After several hours of rapid march, they finally approached the center of Black Wind Ridge.

In a hidden valley, they found traces of the remnants of Black Wind Ridge.

There were flashes of fire in the valley, and people's cries and wails could be heard vaguely.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and they knew that the battle was about to begin.

Luo Chen whispered to Qing Shuang: "You go and notify the rescue team to outflank from the rear, I will go to explore the situation first."

Qing Shuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen's swordsmanship was more fierce in the dark, and he was good at stealth, so he could go to explore the enemy first.

Luo Chen approached the valley silently like a ghost.

He used the cover of night and terrain to avoid the enemy's patrol and sneak into the valley.

He found that the remnants of Black Wind Ridge were building a temporary camp in the valley. They surrounded the villagers in the middle, and some men in black were interrogating and torturing the villagers.

Luo Chen was furious, but he knew that impulse would only make the situation more dangerous.

He quickly returned and told Qingshuang and the rescue team what he saw.

"We must act immediately, but be careful not to let the villagers get hurt." Luo Chen said seriously.

Qingshuang and the captain of the rescue team nodded, and they quickly formulated a detailed rescue plan.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang led a part of the elite soldiers to attack from the front to attract the enemy's attention.

The main force of the rescue team quietly approached from the rear, ready to rescue the villagers.

The battle started in the night, and Luo Chen and Qingshuang were like two sharp swords, piercing the enemy's heart.

Their swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and wherever they went, the men in black fell one after another.

At the same time, the rescue team also successfully approached the villagers. They acted quickly and rescued the villagers from the siege of the black-clad men.

The battle lasted for nearly an hour and ended with the defeat of the remnants of Black Wind Ridge.

Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were both injured, their eyes were shining with the light of victory.

The rescue team successfully brought all the villagers out of Black Wind Ridge safely, and the remnants of Black Wind Ridge were all captured by the government soldiers.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood at the entrance of the valley, looking at the rescued villagers, and their hearts were full of relief.

"It's done."

Luo Chen said softly.

Qing Shuang smiled and nodded: "Yes, we succeeded."

Although the battle was over, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that their mission was not yet completed.

They must escort the remnants of Black Wind Ridge back to Baixiang City to be judged by law.

Moreover, Luo Chen had a deeper worry in his heart.

Although the operation was successful, the real power behind Black Wind Ridge, the black hand that seemed to be able to control everything and was hidden in the dark, still did not surface.

This power was more terrifying than the bandits in Black Wind Ridge. It was like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

They escorted the captives and set off on the road back to White Elephant City.

Along the way, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang kept exchanging their views on the challenges they might encounter next.

Qing Shuang suggested that perhaps some clues about the mastermind could be obtained from these captives, while Luo Chen was worried that these remnants might have been trained to keep their mouths shut and would not easily reveal information.

Back in White Elephant City, Lord Zhang praised Luo Chen and Qing Shuang for their heroic actions and personally held a celebration banquet for them.

During the banquet, Luo Chen tentatively raised his concerns about the mastermind behind the scenes. After listening to him, Lord Zhang frowned and obviously realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, you are right. The matter of Black Wind Ridge is not as simple as it seems."

"I have sent people to investigate secretly, but there is no solid clue so far."

"Since you have such a profound understanding of this matter, why don't you stay in Baixiang City and help us solve this mystery together."

Mr. Zhang said sincerely.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

They knew that the battle was far from over, and they, as messengers of justice, had to fight to the end.

In the following days, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang devoted themselves to investigating the mastermind.

They visited all the suspicious people in Baixiang City and the surrounding areas and collected a lot of clues, but each clue seemed to point in a different direction, making them feel confused and anxious.

However, just when they were about to give up, an unexpected discovery rekindled their hope.

In a late-night infiltration operation, they found a secret base hidden underground in Baixiang City.

This base was heavily guarded and heavily guarded, and it was obviously extraordinary.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang carefully sneaked into the base, only to find that it was actually a huge intelligence network center.

The walls were covered with various maps, portraits and secret letters, and each piece of information pointed to the mastermind, a mysterious organization called "Shadow Pavilion".

They realized that this organization not only controlled bandit gangs like Black Wind Ridge, but also infiltrated every corner of Baixiang City, and they might even have spies inside the government.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not retreat.

They knew that only by completely destroying the Shadow Pavilion could this matter be completely resolved.

So, they began to secretly plan a raid on the Shadow Pavilion.

......

In a courtyard in Baixiang City.

At this time, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and many practitioners in Baixiang City gathered here.

It seemed that they were discussing something.

"Luo Chen, are you sure?"

Qing Shuang looked at Luo Chen with some worry.

Luo Chen's eyes were firm. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I dare not say that we are sure, but we have obtained enough information and have made a thorough plan."

"More importantly, we can't let the Shadow Pavilion continue to do evil and threaten the peace of Baixiang City and even more innocent people."

Qingshuang heard this and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "No matter what the result is, I will fight side by side with you."

In the courtyard, other practitioners also expressed their opinions. They were either from major sects or outstanding practitioners. They gathered here because they hated the evil deeds of the Shadow Pavilion.

As a representative of the government, Lord Zhang gave them full support and promised to mobilize all available resources to ensure the smooth progress of the operation.

Luo Chen looked around and felt the determination and trust of everyone. He said in a deep voice: "Tonight, we will sneak into the core area of ​​the Shadow Pavilion and go straight to Huanglong."

"But remember, we must be careful. There are many masters in the Shadow Pavilion and they are good at plotting. Once exposed, the consequences will be disastrous."

Everyone nodded and began to check their equipment, adjust their status, and prepare for the upcoming decisive battle.

The night deepened, the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was the best time to act.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the crowd, using the cover of the night to quietly approach the secret base of the Shadow Pavilion.

Along the way, they cleverly avoided the heavy guards, relying on their familiarity with the terrain and the enemy's layout, and gradually went deeper.

Finally, they came to the core hall of the Shadow Pavilion.

The hall was brightly lit, and low conversations were faintly heard. Obviously, the important figures of the Shadow Pavilion were gathering here.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a look, and then they performed Qinggong at the same time, like two black lightnings, and rushed into the hall in an instant.

At the same time, other practitioners also launched attacks from all directions according to the plan. For a time, the hall was filled with swords and shouts of killing.

The masters of the Shadow Pavilion were obviously caught off guard by the sudden attack, but they quickly stabilized their position and started a fierce battle with Luo Chen and others.

Luo Chen's swordsmanship is like a dragon swimming in the seas, and each sword contains a majestic sword intention, while Qingshuang is good at light work, moving freely among the crowd, constantly giving the enemy fatal blows.

However, the strength of the Shadow Pavilion is far from as simple as it seems.

As the battle deepens, more and more masters join the battle, and their martial arts are weird and unpredictable, making it difficult to defend against.

Although Luo Chen, Qingshuang and others are brave, they gradually feel the pressure.

At this time, a roar came from the depths of the hall, and a middle-aged man in a black robe walked out slowly.

His face was cold and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He was the owner of the Shadow Pavilion, the Lord of Shadow.

"Humph, a few ants dare to invade my Shadow Pavilion?"

The Lord of Shadow sneered, and his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Luo Chen like a ghost, slapping out with a palm, and the palm wind was fierce, with destructive power.

Luo Chen's heart trembled, but he did not retreat, but raised his sword to meet the attack.

The sword light and palm wind intertwined in the air, bursting out a deafening roar.

The two fought back and forth, and it was hard to tell who was better.

Seeing this, Qingshuang immediately joined the battle and fought side by side with Luo Chen to fight against the Lord of Shadow.

As time went on, the battle became more and more intense.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang gradually gained the upper hand with their extraordinary strength and tacit cooperation.

However, the Lord of Shadow was also very powerful. He kept displaying strange martial arts in an attempt to reverse the situation.

At this critical moment, the government reinforcements led by Lord Zhang finally arrived.

They attacked from all directions like divine soldiers from heaven, instantly breaking the balance of the battlefield.

The disciples of the Shadow Pavilion were immediately thrown into disarray and fled.

The Shadow Lord saw this and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth fiercely, and his body was surrounded by black air, obviously he was going to perform some forbidden martial arts.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt nervous, they knew that this was the critical moment to decide the outcome.

"Qing Shuang, cover me!"

Luo Chen shouted in a low voice, and then his body suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the Shadow Lord like an arrow from a string.

His swordsmanship reached its peak at this moment, and each sword contained the power to break through the air, directly approaching the Shadow Lord's vital points.

Qing Shuang followed closely behind, her lightness skills were used to the extreme, constantly interfering with the Shadow Lord's offensive, creating opportunities for Luo Chen.

Finally, after a fierce confrontation, Luo Chen found the right time and pierced the Shadow Lord's chest with a sword.

The black-robed man's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness, and then he fell to the ground with a bang, and a generation of heroes fell.

With the death of the Shadow Lord, the disciples of the Shadow Pavilion completely lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and others finally won the battle.

After the battle, Bai Xiang City was full of jubilation.

People went out of their homes to celebrate this historic moment.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood on the city wall, looking at the land that was once again shrouded in peace, their hearts full of emotion.

"It's over, it's finally over." Qing Shuang said softly.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, he turned his head to look at Qing Shuang, his eyes full of tenderness and determination: "Yes, it's over, this matter is over, we can leave Bai Xiang City and continue to travel."

Qing Shuang heard the words, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, she looked into the distance, her heart was both relieved and expected.

During this period of time, they fought side by side, experienced countless life and death tests, and their friendship had long surpassed that of ordinary partners.

Now that the threat of the Shadow Pavilion has finally been lifted, it is indeed time for them to embark on a new journey.

"Luo Chen, where do you think we will go next?" Qing Shuang's voice was filled with a hint of longing. She was eager to know what kind of scenery would be waiting for them in the future.

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful light. "Well, the world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. No matter where we go, as long as you are with me, it will be the best journey."

Qing Shuang heard this and a warm current surged in her heart.

She turned her head to look at Luo Chen, and their eyes met in the air. There was no need to say more, and their feelings for each other were beyond words.

......

In a blink of an eye, time came to evening.

The lights in the White Elephant City were bright at this time.

Many people, as well as the government, were celebrating their victory.

However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not participate.

At this moment, they were quietly staying in the courtyard, sitting quietly under the stone pavilion.

Enjoying the tranquility at this moment.
