Chapter 753: Information about the Shadow Clan

Zhao Cheng nodded and continued: "I need you to help me collect some information about the Shadow Sect. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang agreed without hesitation.

Therefore, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to inquire about the Shadow Sect in Lingxiao City.

They carefully avoided the sphere of influence of the man named Zhao and collected intelligence through various channels.

After a period of hard work, they finally collected some useful information.

The headquarters of the Shadow Sect is located in a valley outside Lingxiao City. It is shrouded in darkness all year round and is inaccessible to ordinary people.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang brought this information back to Zhao Cheng.

After hearing this, Zhao Cheng's eyes flashed with determination. "It's time to take action."

He began to contact some like-minded practitioners and prepared to launch a raid on the Shadow Sect.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also joined the operation, knowing that this would be a life and death battle.

On a dark and windy night, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Zhao Cheng led a group of practitioners to quietly approach the valley of the Shadow Sect.

There were several Shadow Sect disciples guarding the entrance to the valley.

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

"Are you ready?" Luo Chen asked in a low voice.

Qingshuang nodded, a firm light flashing in his eyes.

"We fight together."

The battle was about to break out. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took the lead in rushing towards the guards. Their sword energy and spells intertwined and knocked down all the guards.

Other practitioners followed suit and rushed into the valley.

In the valley, the disciples of the Shadow Sect were caught off guard by the sudden attack.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang shuttled through the crowd, their swordsmanship and spells becoming more and more powerful, and enemies fell one after another wherever they passed.

However, at this moment, a roar came from deep in the valley.

A man in black robes walked out of the darkness, his body exuding a powerful dark aura.

"How dare you, those ignorant people, come to our Shadow Sect to run wild!" the man in black robe roared angrily.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that this man in black robe was the leader of the Shadow Sect.

They looked at each other and then attacked the man in black robe at the same time.

The battle was extremely fierce. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang relied on their tacit cooperation to deal with the man in black robe.

However, the strength of the man in black robe far exceeded their imagination, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

At this critical moment, Zhao Cheng arrived in time. He cast a powerful spell and fought with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang against the man in black robe.

After a hard fight, the three finally knocked down the man in black robe.

Seeing the defeat of their sect leader, the disciples of the Shadow Sect fled in all directions.

After the battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang both felt exhausted, but they knew that victory in this battle meant that Lingxiao City would no longer be threatened by the Shadow Sect.

Zhao Cheng walked to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang and said gratefully: "Thanks to you this time, Lingxiao City can see the light of day again."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang shook their heads, they knew this was what they should do.

"Senior Zhao Cheng, we just did what we should do."

Zhao Cheng smiled, then took out two items from his arms and handed them to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang respectively.

"This is my thank you to you. I hope you can go further on the path of spiritual practice in the future."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took the items and found a pair of exquisite jade bracelets, engraved with ancient runes and emitting a faint light.

"Thank you, Senior Zhao Cheng." Luo Chen and Qing Shuang expressed their thanks again.

After bidding farewell to Zhao Cheng, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to wander around the city.

After all, it was just a short time ago.

Naturally, they wouldn't think about leaving.

Besides, this is a city built by practitioners.

There must be many things in the city that are helpful for their practice.

And places like this are rare.

Luochen and Qingshuang strolled on the streets of Lingxiao City, feeling the prosperity and vitality of the city.

On both sides of the street, there are a variety of shops, ranging from spiritual herbs and elixirs to magic weapons and magic weapons.

The practitioners either discuss their cultivation experiences in small groups or meditate silently in the corner alone.

"Qingshuang, look at the shops over there, they seem to be selling some rare spiritual herbs." Luo Chen pointed to a shop with simple decoration not far away and said.

Qingshuang followed Luo Chen's hand, a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

"Yeah, let's go over there and take a look. Maybe we can find something useful for our practice."

The two of them walked into the shop called "Ling Cao Xuan", and the shop was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

The shopkeeper, a gray-haired old man, was sitting behind the counter, concentrating on grinding the medicinal powder.

"You two little friends, what do you need?" The old man raised his head and asked gently.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and Luo Chen said: "We are interested in some spiritual herbs that can help improve cultivation. Do you have any here?"

The old man smiled slightly and took out a small box from under the counter. When he opened it, there was a spiritual grass emitting a faint fluorescent light.

"This is 'Moonflower Grass'. It grows under the moonlight and absorbs the essence of the moon. It has a miraculous effect on improving cultivation."

Qingshuang looked closely at it curiously and asked, "How to use this moonflower grass?"

"It can be taken directly or used to refine elixirs." The old man explained, "However, Moonflower Grass is very rare and expensive."

Luo Chen nodded, expressing understanding.

He took out some spiritual stones from his arms and handed them to the old man.

"We want this moonflower grass."

The old man took the spirit stone and nodded with satisfaction.

"You two little friends, I hope this Moon Flower Grass can help you."

After leaving Lingcaoxuan, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to wander around the city.

They came to a square where many practitioners gathered, seemingly watching a competition.

"Let's go take a look too." Qingshuang suggested.

Luo Chen readily agreed, and the two of them squeezed into the crowd.

In the middle of the square, I saw two young practitioners competing, each move full of power and beauty.

"These two are young talents in Lingxiao City, with great strength." A middle-aged man next to them said to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Qingshuang observed the competition with great interest. Suddenly she frowned and whispered to Luo Chen: "Look at the young man in blue, there seems to be something wrong with his moves."

Luo Chen took a closer look and found that when the young man in blue performed his moves, his movements were slightly stiff and he seemed to be a little out of his depth.

"Maybe he was injured." Luo Chen guessed.

At this moment, the young man in blue was hit by his opponent in a confrontation and staggered back a few steps.

His opponent was a young man in red. Upon seeing this, he immediately stopped his hand and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

The young man in blue shook his head and managed to stand still.

"I'm fine, keep going."

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

Qingshuang said softly to Luo Chen: "Let's go and take a look at him."

Luo Chen nodded, and the two of them walked towards the young man in blue.

Qingshuang asked politely: "Excuse me, are you injured? We know some medical skills, maybe we can help."

The young man in blue looked up at them, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he finally nodded.

"Thank you for your kindness. I did suffer some internal injuries."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took the young man in blue aside, and Qing Shuang took out a pill from his arms.

"This is the 'Rejuvenation Pill', which has a very good effect on internal injuries."

The young man in blue took the elixir and said gratefully, "Thank you. My name is Lan Feng, and I am a descendant of the Lan family in Lingxiao City."

"My name is Luochen, and she is Qingshuang." Luochen introduced himself.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang?" A trace of surprise flashed in Lan Feng's eyes, "Are you the two who have been practicing in Tianji Pavilion recently?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "It's us."

After Lan Feng took the rejuvenation pill, his complexion gradually improved.

"Your medical skills are indeed superb. I feel much better."

Qingshuang smiled and replied: "This is just what we can do."

The three of them had a pleasant conversation. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang learned that Lan Feng was injured due to a competition between families.

Lan Feng also invited them to visit Lan's house when they have time.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the square.

The three of them looked up and saw a man in rich clothes striding towards them, followed by a group of followers.

"Who is that?" Luo Chen asked curiously.

Lan Feng's expression changed and he replied in a low voice: "That is the son of the Lord of Lingxiao City. His name is Zhao Tianyu. He is domineering and often bullies the practitioners in the city."

Zhao Tianyu walked to the center of the competition arena, looked around, and finally landed on Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

"I heard that you two were practicing in Tianji Pavilion recently and helped Lan Feng?"

Luochen and Qingshuang looked at each other, and Luochen replied calmly: "We just did what we should do."

Zhao Tianyu sneered, "It's a good thing to do, but I heard that you also participated in the operation against the Shadow Sect. You are really brave."

Qingshuang frowned, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?"

Zhao Tianyu waved his hand, "Nothing, I just feel that you two outside practitioners dare to interfere in the affairs of Lingxiao City, which is a bit overestimating your capabilities."

Luo Chen's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he still remained polite.

"Mr. Zhao, we are just out of justice."

Zhao Tianyu laughed loudly, "Justice? In this Lingxiao City, strength is justice. If you are really capable, you might as well come and compete with me."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew in their hearts that Zhao Tianyu was obviously provoking.

But if you don't accept the challenge, you may be looked down upon.

Qingshuang gently pulled Luo Chen's sleeve, signaling him not to be impulsive.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and was about to speak when he heard a familiar voice.

"Zhao Tianyu, are you bullying foreign guests?" Zhao Cheng's voice came from the crowd.

Zhao Tianyu turned around and saw Zhao Cheng, his expression changed slightly.

"Senior Zhao Cheng, I'm just discussing with them."

Zhao Cheng walked to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang and said calmly: "They are guests of my Tianji Pavilion. If you want to learn from each other, why not give it a try with me."

Zhao Tianyu's face darkened. Although he was arrogant, he did not dare to be rude to Zhao Cheng.

"Senior Zhao Cheng, how dare I offend you? I'll let this end today."

After speaking, Zhao Tianyu hurriedly left the square with his entourage.

Zhao Cheng turned around and said to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang: "You have done a good job, don't pay attention to Zhao Tianyu's provocation."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gratefully thanked Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng smiled slightly, with a trace of approval in his eyes, "Luochen, Qingshuang, your cultivation and character are worthy of praise."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were a little surprised by Zhao Cheng's appreciation, but there was also a warm current in their hearts.

Qingshuang said softly: "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Zhao. We are just doing our best."

Zhao Cheng nodded, then turned his gaze to Lan Feng, "Lan Feng, you were injured in this competition. You should take good care of yourself after you return. Don't rush for success."

Lan Feng replied respectfully: "Yes, Senior Zhao, I will pay attention."

Zhao Cheng turned to Luo Chen and Qingshuang again, "If you two have free time, you might as well come to Tianji Pavilion. I have some experience to share with you."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang were naturally overjoyed and quickly agreed.

Afterwards, Zhao Cheng left the square, leaving Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Lan Feng alone.

Lan Feng looked at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gratefully, "Thanks to you today, I was able to get timely treatment."

Qing Shuang waved her hand, "You're welcome, we just did what we should do."

Luo Chen pondered for a moment and said to Lan Feng, "Brother Lan Feng, there are indeed some problems with your moves in the competition just now. If it's convenient, we can help you analyze it."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lan Feng's eyes, "Really? That's great, I was worried that no one would give me advice."

So, the three of them found a quiet teahouse and sat down to discuss Lan Feng's martial arts problems in detail.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang pointed out several key points for improvement for Lan Feng based on their experience and knowledge.

Lan Feng listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and showed admiration in his eyes, "Your insights are really unique, why didn't I think of it before?"

Qing Shuang smiled and replied: "Everyone has their own blind spots, sometimes you need to be a bystander."

Luo Chen added: "Brother Lan Feng, you just need to practice according to what we said, I believe your martial arts will be improved soon."

The three of them talked happily, and before they knew it, the sky had gradually darkened.

Lan Feng stood up and said sincerely: "Thank you so much today, I have to go back, and I will visit you another day."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also stood up and said goodbye. The three of them exchanged contact information and agreed to have a chance to exchange ideas together in the future.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were on their way back to Tianji Pavilion, and Qing Shuang suddenly said, "Luo Chen, why do you think Zhao Tianyu suddenly appeared?"

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment and replied, "Zhao Tianyu is obviously a provocative person. He may have noticed us a long time ago, but he only found the opportunity today."

Qing Shuang nodded, "It seems that we have to be careful. The water in Lingxiao City seems to be deeper than we thought."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "With Senior Zhao Cheng here, we don't have to worry too much, and we come here to practice, not to fight."

Qing Shuang also smiled, "You are right, let's focus on improving ourselves."
