Chapter 762 Interrupt the ceremony!

As time went by, the atmosphere of the ceremony became increasingly weird.

Luochen and Qingshuang held their breath. They knew they had to be careful. Any mistake could lead to a deeper disaster for the entire village.

"We have to find a way to interrupt this ceremony." Luo Chen said softly to Qingshuang.

Qingshuang nodded, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

"I will attract their attention, and you will find an opportunity to destroy the altar."

Luochen hesitated for a moment. He knew this would be very dangerous, but he also understood that there was no better way.

"Okay, be careful."

Qingshuang took a deep breath, then suddenly jumped out of her hiding place, condensing a dazzling spiritual beam in her hand and shooting it directly at the group of black-robed men.

The men in black robes were startled by the sudden attack and turned to look at Qingshuang.

"Who is it?!" one of the men in black robes shouted angrily.

Luo Chen took the opportunity to quickly approach the altar from the other side. The tip of his sword began to tremble again, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

Qingshuang shuttled among the men in black robes, and the spiritual beams kept flying between them, creating chaos.

She knew that her mission was to delay as much time as possible and create opportunities for Luochen.

"Don't let her run away!" Another black-robed man ordered, and then several black-robed men began to attack Qingshuang.

Luo Chen took the opportunity to rush to the altar. He raised his sword high, and the light on the tip of the sword was concentrated to the extreme.

"break!"

With a loud shout, the light from the tip of the sword hit the altar like a meteor.

The altar began to shake violently under the impact of the light, and the man in black robe screamed in horror.

Luo Chen's attack successfully interrupted the ceremony, and the cold aura dissipated instantly.

"No!" The leading man in black robe roared angrily. He turned to look at Luo Chen, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

"You ignorant fools, you don't know what you have destroyed!" the man in black robe roared.

Luo Chen looked at him coldly, "The sorcery you are doing here will only bring disaster to innocent people."

The man in black robe sneered, "Disaster? This is just the beginning. You will soon understand how stupid your actions are."

Qingshuang had already gotten rid of the entanglement of other black-robed men at this time, and she quickly returned to Luochen.

"We need to get out of here, they may have something behind us."

Luo Chen nodded, they knew now was not the time to get entangled with the man in black robe.

The two quickly evacuated the village and moved towards the next target.

In the next few days, Luochen and Qingshuang visited several villages where abnormalities occurred, and they found that similar rituals were being performed in each place.

Although they managed to stop it a few times, they were met with stronger resistance each time.

"These men in black robes seem to be looking for some kind of power, and there must be a larger organization behind them."

Luochen said to Qingshuang during a break.

Qingshuang nodded, "We must find the source of this organization, otherwise these villages will never have peace."

They continued to move forward and investigated in depth until one day they came to an ancient castle shrouded in black fog.

There was an unsettling atmosphere surrounding the castle, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that they might have found the core of the black-robed man organization.

"We have to be careful. This place may be more dangerous than any place we have encountered before." Luochen reminded.

Qingshuang held her staff tightly, her heart filled with determination.

"No matter how dangerous it is, we must uncover the truth."

The two entered the castle cautiously, and the scene inside the castle shocked them.

The walls were covered with ancient runes, and a dark red liquid flowed on the ground, which seemed to be a kind of blood.

They heard a low chant, coming from deep within the castle.

Luochen and Qingshuang followed the direction of the sound and came to a huge underground hall.

In the center of the hall, a huge black altar stood there, surrounded by men in black robes, who were holding a large-scale ceremony.

Bursts of puzzling and mysterious sounds kept ringing.

A mysterious force that seems to be able to affect people's thinking ability is spreading here.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang hid in a corner of the hall, observing the actions of the man in black robe.

They knew that this ceremony was more important than ever before, because the number of men in black robes and the evil aura they exuded were far greater than before.

"Qingshuang, do you feel that the atmosphere here is different from what we encountered before?" Luo Chen asked in a low voice.

Qingshuang nodded, her brows furrowed, "Yes, the atmosphere here is older and darker. I feel a powerful force brewing."

Luochen's eyes were fixed on the altar, and he tried to find out the key to this ritual.

"We have to find a way to stop this, otherwise we're going to be in trouble..."

Qingshuang took a deep breath and tried to calm down her mood.

"Luochen, we have to be careful. If we are discovered, we may not be able to leave here alive."

Luo Chen nodded, he knew Qing Shuang was telling the truth.

They must find an opportunity, an opportunity to completely destroy this ritual.

At this moment, a man in black robes walked to the center of the altar. He raised his hands and began to chant an ancient spell.

As he chanted, the entire hall began to shake, and a powerful wave of energy spread from the center of the altar.

"Now!"

Luo Chen whispered, and he and Qing Shuang jumped out of their hiding place at the same time and rushed towards the altar.

The people in black robes were stunned by the sudden attack, but they quickly reacted and took out their weapons, preparing to fight.

"Stop them!" the leading man in black robe roared, his voice full of anger and panic.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang shuttled among the black-robed crowd. Their movements were quick and precise, and every shot hit the target accurately.

However, there were too many men in black robes, and they gradually felt overwhelmed.

"Luochen, this is not the way to go, we must find the weakness of the altar!" Qingshuang shouted loudly during the battle.

Luo Chen nodded, and he began to carefully observe the structure of the altar, trying to find a way to crack it.

At this moment, he noticed a strange gemstone on the altar, which emitted a distinctive light.

"Qingshuang, look at that gem! It may be the key to the entire ceremony!" Luo Chen shouted loudly.

Qingshuang followed Luo Chen's gaze and immediately understood what Luo Chen meant.

"I'll attract their attention, you go destroy the gem!"

Luochen nodded, and he began to approach the altar, while Qingshuang created greater chaos among the black-robed crowd.

As she waved her staff, beams of spiritual energy streaked across the hall like meteors, hitting several men in black robes.

Luo Chen took the opportunity to rush to the altar. He raised his sword high and slashed at the gem with all his strength.

With a crisp sound, the gem shattered and the entire altar began to shake violently.

"No! What have you done!" The leading man in black robes shouted in horror, his voice full of despair.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not stop, they knew that this altar must be completely destroyed.

The two of them worked together to completely destroy the altar.

As the altar collapsed, the entire hall began to collapse, and the people in black robes fled in panic.

Luochen and Qingshuang took the opportunity to escape from this dangerous place.

When they finally stood safely in the sunlight outside the castle, both men let out a long sigh of relief.

"Successful." Luo Chen said to Qingshuang with a smile.

Qingshuang nodded, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Yes, we did."

...

After settling this matter, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickly left the place.

After all, they both foiled the plans of those mysterious men in black.

If you don't run away, you will be caught.

Wouldn't it be another troublesome thing?

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took a break outside the castle. They knew that although they had temporarily stopped the black-robed man's ritual, the struggle was far from over.

They need more information and find the source of the black-robed man organization in order to completely solve the problem.

"Where are we going next?" Qingshuang asked, her eyes shining with determination.

Luochen thought for a moment and then replied: "We should go to a nearby town. There may be clues we need there. It is impossible for the man in black robe to act completely secretly. There will always be someone who knows something."

Qingshuang nodded in agreement, and the two set off on their way to the town.

Along the way, they talked about the battle just now and analyzed the possible motives of the man in black robe.

"Have you noticed that those men in black robes seem to be summoning some kind of power?" Luo Chen said suddenly.

Qingshuang frowned, "Yes, I feel it too, that power is very ancient and powerful. I'm worried that we just destroyed a ritual, and there are more things we don't know."

Luo Chen nodded, he understood Qing Shuang's worries.

They need more allies and more information to fight against this mysterious organization.

After arriving in the town, Luochen and Qingshuang began to ask around for news.

They disguised themselves as ordinary travelers and carefully asked about the man in black robe.

After several days of hard work, they finally got some clues from an old tavern owner.

"Men in black robes? Oh, those guys, they often appear in the abandoned temple in the north on full moon nights." The old tavern owner said mysteriously.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and they knew that this might be the clue they were looking for.

"Thank you, boss." Luo Chen politely thanked the old tavern owner, and then left the tavern with Qingshuang.

"It seems we have to go to the abandoned temple in the north." Luo Chen said.

Qingshuang nodded, "Yes, but we have to be careful, it may be more dangerous than the castle."

They prepared for a few days and then set out on the road to the abandoned temple.

The temple is located in a deserted valley and surrounded by dense forests.

As they approached the temple, a cold breath hit their faces.

"Something doesn't feel right here." Qingshuang whispered, and she clenched the staff in her hand.

Luo Chen nodded, and he pulled out his long sword, "Let's move forward carefully."

They entered the temple cautiously, and the sight inside shocked them.

The walls were covered with ancient murals depicting mysterious rituals they had never seen before.

Scattered on the ground are some broken statues that appear to have once been some kind of patron saint.

"Look over there!" Qingshuang suddenly pointed to a stone platform in front of him and said.

Luo Chen looked along Qingshuang's fingers and saw a shabby book on the stone table.

They walked over cautiously, and Luo Chen reached out and picked up the book.

"What is this?" Qingshuang asked curiously.

Luo Chen turned the pages of the book and found some ancient spells and rituals recorded in it.

"This seems to be a secret book used by the black-robed man to summon power." He whispered.

Qingshuang looked around nervously, "We have to be careful, this book may be very dangerous."

Luo Chen nodded, and he carefully put the book away.

"Let's leave here first and study it carefully after returning."

Just as they were about to leave, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew, and a low laugh came from the depths of the temple.

"Do you think you can stop us like this?" A hoarse voice sounded.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang immediately became alert, they knew that the real danger had just begun.

A figure slowly walked out of the darkness. It was a man in a black robe with an evil smile on his face.

"Welcome to our temple, you have disturbed our ceremony, now you must pay the price." The black-robed man said coldly.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang held their weapons tightly, they knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.

"We won't let you succeed." Luo Chen said firmly.

The black-robed man sneered, "Then let's see if you have the ability."

The battle was about to break out, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had a fierce battle with the black-robed man.

The black-robed man's magic power was strong, and every attack was full of destructive power.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang relied on tacit cooperation and firm will to resist with difficulty.

"You can't stop us!" The black-robed man laughed wildly, and his magic power seemed to be constantly increasing.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that they had to find the weakness of the black-robed man as soon as possible, otherwise they would not be able to win.

"Qing Shuang, have you noticed that his magic power seems to weaken at a certain moment?" Luo Chen whispered in the interval of the battle.

Qing Shuang nodded, "Yes, every time he chants a spell, his defense will be temporarily reduced."

Luo Chen's eyes flashed a gleam of light, "Then we will attack at that time!"

They continued to fight with the black-robed man, waiting for that opportunity to come.

Finally, when the black-robed man chanted the spell again, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang launched an attack at the same time.

Their attack hit the black-robed man accurately, and he screamed in pain and began to tremble.

"No! This is impossible!" The black-robed man shouted in disbelief.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not give him any chance to breathe. They quickly launched another attack and finally defeated the black-robed man completely.

As the black-robed man fell, the entire temple began to shake violently.
