Chapter 783 The head of Tianji Pavilion?

"This is indeed a dangerous book. I will send someone to Tianji Pavilion immediately."

"However, Thousand Faces Master mentioned that there is a greater power behind him." Qingshuang added.

"Yes, we must remain vigilant." Elder He Tu nodded, "I will strengthen the vigilance in the town and notify the surrounding towns so that they can also be vigilant."

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Feng Qing continued to discuss in Elder He Tu's residence. They knew that although the crisis was temporarily resolved, greater challenges may still lie ahead.

"What should we do next?" Feng Qing asked.

"We need more information." Luo Chen replied, "Those men in black mentioned by Thousand Faces Master may be just the tip of the iceberg. We need to find out the forces behind them."

Qingshuang nodded in agreement, "We can start with the missing livestock and maybe we can find some clues."

"Also, we have to investigate whether there are any outsiders in the town recently." Luochen added, "Especially those who show unusual interest in the activities of the men in black."

The three decided to split up. Luochen was responsible for investigating clues about the missing livestock, Qingshuang was responsible for questioning the residents of the town, and Fengqing was responsible for monitoring outsiders in the town.

Luochen looked carefully in the pasture outside the town. He found some strange traces. It seemed that someone had deliberately covered up the tracks of livestock.

He followed these traces and came to a dense forest.

Deep in the dense forest, Luochen discovered a hidden camp where some men in black were busy.

He moved closer quietly, trying to hear what they were saying.

"... Preparations must be completed before the full moon next month." A man in black said.

"Yes, the master's plan cannot be compromised." Another man in black replied.

Luo Chen was shocked. It seemed that they were preparing for some kind of ceremony.

He decided to go back and report to Elder He Tu and ask for support.

Qingshuang also found some clues when questioning residents in the town.

Some residents mentioned that some mysterious outsiders have appeared in the town recently, and they always wander outside the town late at night.

"They look suspicious and always avoid people," an old woman said.

Qingshuang thanked the old woman, and then decided to go to the outside of the town to check it out in person.

While Feng Qing was monitoring outsiders in the town, he discovered a suspicious businessman.

The businessman always carries a large suitcase, and he seems particularly interested in the activities of the Men in Black in the town.

"I have to find out the identity of this businessman." Feng Qing thought to himself.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Feng Qing met again in Elder He Tu's residence, and they exchanged the information they had obtained.

"It seems that we have found some important clues." Elder He Tu said, "These men in black seem to be preparing some kind of ritual. We must stop them."

"I suggest we take action tonight." Luo Chen suggested, "before they have completed their preparations."

Elder He Tu nodded, "Okay, I will summon the town's militia and we will go together."

As night fell, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, Feng Qing and Elder He Tu led the militiamen to quietly approach the camp of the men in black.

They found that people in black were performing some kind of ritual, with some strange objects placed on the altar and some strange symbols painted around it.

"Now!" Luo Chen whispered.

They launched a sudden attack. The men in black were caught off guard and were quickly subdued.

In the chaos, the mysterious businessman tried to escape, but Feng Qing, with his quick eyesight and quick hands, trapped him in place with a piece of talisman paper.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Feng Qing asked.

The businessman looked at Feng Qing with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"I was...I was hired to deliver these items, I don't know what they were used for."

Luochen stepped forward and carefully inspected the items on the altar.

"These items... they are very similar to the rituals of the Thousand Faces Master."

Elder He Tu frowned, "It seems we have uncovered a bigger conspiracy."

They brought the businessman and the man in black back to the town for further questioning.

In the next few days, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Feng Qing, together with Elder He Tu, interrogated the businessman and the man in black, and they gradually uncovered a huge conspiracy.

It turns out that these men in black are members of a mysterious organization, and they plan to use the power of evil spirits to control the entire area.

And that merchant was only used to transport the items needed for the ceremony.

"We must report this news to Tianji Pavilion." Elder He Tu said, "This organization may be more powerful than we imagined."

Luo Chen nodded, "We will go to Tianji Pavilion in person and bring this information to them."

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Feng Qing carefully sorted out the evidence and information they collected in Elder He Tu's residence.

They know that this discovery is not only related to the safety of the town, but also may involve the stability of the entire region.

"We have to leave as soon as possible." Luo Chen said, his eyes were firm and calm.

Qingshuang nodded. Although she was a little worried, she was more looking forward to the unknown challenge.

"We must prepare everything to prevent the power of these evil spirits from spreading again."

Feng Qing was checking their equipment on the side, making sure that every weapon was extremely sharp and every spell was properly prepared.

"We can't let those in black take advantage of us."

After being fully prepared, the three decided to set out before dawn to avoid possible surveillance.

They rode fast horses and galloped along the winding road in the direction of Tianji Pavilion.

Along the way, they exchanged ideas with each other, trying to deduce more information about the mysterious organization from the known clues.

"What do you think is the real purpose of this organization?" Qingshuang asked, her eyes shining with curiosity.

"Judging from their actions, they seem to be seeking some kind of power, maybe to control people's hearts, or maybe for some greater ambition." Luo Chen replied, his voice seemed a bit dull in the wind.

Feng Qing added: "We cannot rule out that they may have some connection with the Thousand Faces Master. Perhaps they are all part of this organization."

As they discussed, the sky gradually became brighter.

They came to a small town and decided to take a break here.

The atmosphere of the town seemed unusually calm, which seemed incompatible with the crisis they were facing.

In a tavern, three people sat around a wooden table and ordered some simple food.

Luochen's eyes scanned every corner of the tavern from time to time, alert to possible dangers.

"Do you feel that everything has become a little too calm since we started investigating this organization?" Qingshuang whispered, her intuition telling her that things would not be that simple.

"Maybe they are watching us secretly, waiting for the best opportunity." Feng Qing replied, his hand unconsciously touching the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Luochen nodded, his expression serious.

"We cannot take it lightly and from now on we have to be even more careful."

After resting in the town for a while, they continued their journey to Tianji Pavilion.

As they get closer to their destination, the surrounding scenery becomes more and more desolate.

The headquarters of Tianji Pavilion is located on a steep mountain peak, surrounded by dense clouds and mist, as if it is isolated from the world.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, it was getting dark.

Luochen looked up at the winding mountain road, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

"We must be careful. The mountain road is steep, and there may be people from the Thousand Faces Master."

Qingshuang and Fengqing also felt the pressure, but they did not back down.

The three of them began to walk slowly along the mountain road, taking every step carefully.

Just when they were about to reach halfway up the mountain, suddenly, there were rapid footsteps all around.

"Who is it?" Luo Chen shouted loudly, his hand already clenching the hilt of the sword.

From the darkness, a group of figures dressed in black walked out slowly. They held weapons and had cold eyes.

"You can't move forward any further." The leading man in black said coldly.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Feng Qing looked at each other, knowing that a battle was inevitable.

"Then let us see what you are capable of." Luo Chen sneered and drew his sword.

The battle was about to break out, and the three men had a fierce confrontation with the man in black.

Swords flashed, spells flew, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Luo Chen relied on his extraordinary swordsmanship, Qing Shuang used his flexible body skills and precise spell attacks, and Feng Qing used his strong strength and firm willpower to fight to the death with the man in black.

After a hard fight, they finally repelled the man in black, but all three of them suffered varying degrees of injuries.

They know that this is just the beginning, and greater challenges await them ahead.

"We have to move on." Luo Chen said firmly, although his voice was a little weak.

Qing Shuang and Feng Qing nodded. They supported each other and continued to move towards Tianji Pavilion.

The mountain road is getting steeper and steeper, but their determination is getting stronger and stronger.

Finally, after a long climb, they arrived at the door of Tianji Pavilion.

There were two guards in Taoist robes standing in front of the door. Their eyes were alert, but when they saw the scars and tired looks on Luo Chen and others, their expressions softened a little.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" one of the guards asked.

Luo Chen took a step forward and took out a token from his arms. This was the token given to them by Elder He Tu.

"We are envoys from a distant town, and we have important information to report to Tianji Pavilion."

The guard took the token, checked it carefully, and nodded.

"Please come with me and I will take you to see the Pavilion Master."

They followed the guards into Tianji Pavilion, a place full of mystery.

The surrounding walls are covered with ancient runes, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance.

They walked through long corridors and finally came to a spacious hall.

In the center of the hall, a white-haired old man was sitting behind a huge desk. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"I am the master of Tianji Pavilion. What information do you have to tell me?"

Luo Chen stepped forward and told the pavilion master everything they had experienced and the information they had discovered about the mysterious organization.

After hearing this, the Pavilion Master frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"You have done a great job. This information is vital to us and we will take immediate action to stop this organization's conspiracy."

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Feng Qing looked at each other and knew that their mission had been completed.

But at the same time, they also realize that this fight has just begun.

"We will stay here and assist you." Luo Chen said firmly.

The Pavilion Master nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Very good, we need brave and determined people like you."

The Pavilion Master's words revealed a hint of heaviness. He stood up and walked slowly to one side of the hall, where a huge sand table was placed, depicting the terrain of the entire continent and the distribution of various forces.

"The ambition of the organization you revealed is far greater than we imagined." The Pavilion Master's voice echoed in the empty hall, "They not only tried to control people's hearts, but also tried to subvert the order of the entire continent."

Luo Chen, Qingshuang and Feng Qing stood in front of the sand table, carefully observing every detail, trying to find more clues from it.

"Pavilion Master, what do you think we should do next?" Qingshuang asked, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

The Pavilion Master pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "First, we need to determine the true core of this organization. Although they act secretly, they always leave clues. Your task is to investigate in depth and find their base."

"We understand." Luo Chen nodded to show his understanding, "We will start with the identity of the man in black. They can't appear out of thin air."

"In addition." The Pavilion Master continued, "You must be careful. There may be masters in this organization. They are good at using various tricks and illusions. You must always be vigilant."

Feng Qing gripped the hilt of the sword, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "We won't let them succeed."

In the following days, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang and Feng Qing began to investigate the origins of the man in black with the help of Tianji Pavilion.

They read a lot of ancient books, asked many people in the world, and even went to some suspicious places to explore in person.

By chance, they found an abandoned manor with some relics of the man in black scattered in the manor.

Through these relics, they found an important clue, a mysterious symbol, which seemed to be closely related to the man in black.

"Where have I seen this symbol before?" Qingshuang frowned, trying to recall.

"It looks familiar to me too." Luochen echoed.

Fengqing took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which was drawn a pattern that was almost identical to the symbol found in the manor.

"This is what we found on the man in black." Fengqing explained.

The three looked at each other, and they knew that this symbol might be the key to the core of the man in black's organization.

So, they began to track down a remote town based on this symbol.
