Chapter 834 The mastermind behind the scenes, the blood demon?

"Very good, but you must remember that our goal is not only to collect the essence of blood, but more importantly, to plunge the entire Yuan Dynasty into chaos and let our power penetrate into every corner." The old man's voice contained a hint of laughter. With unquestionable majesty.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, knowing that this task was more difficult than they imagined.

They must be careful not to let the Vampire Sect succeed in their plans.

"Elder, we have prepared our next move and are just waiting for your order." Another Vampire Sect disciple stepped forward and said respectfully.

The old man pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Very good, but remember, our actions must be secretive and cannot attract the attention of the Yuan Dynasty. Once the time is right, I will personally take action and plunge the entire Yuan Dynasty into a sea of ​​blood. "

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were shocked when they heard this.

They realize that the Vampire Sect's plan is far more far-reaching than they imagined, and they must act as soon as possible.

Under the cover of night, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quietly exited the stronghold.

They knew that now was not the time for a head-on conflict. They needed more helpers and a more thorough plan.

After returning to Zhennan Mansion, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang immediately summoned the members of the Qingying Guard, preparing to tell everyone what they had discovered in the Vampire Sect's stronghold.

...

late at night.

Zhennan Mansion, in the reception hall of a courtyard.

At this time, many people gathered here.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, the two great immortal cultivators, are naturally the leaders among these people.

"Everyone."

Luo Chen stood up and glanced at everyone present. His voice was calm and powerful: "Everyone, we just came back from a stronghold of the Vampire Sect and discovered their new conspiracy. They are not only collecting the essence of blood. , and has a plan to plunge the entire Yuan Dynasty into chaos. We must act immediately to prevent their conspiracy from succeeding. "

Qingshuang followed closely and added: "We have determined that there is an old man with long blood-colored hair among the top leaders of the Vampire Sect. He seems to be planning some major action. We must find him and stop him."

The members of the Qingying Guard present nodded, knowing that this was a battle related to the safety of the Yuan Dynasty.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to assign tasks. Some were responsible for investigating the Vampire Sect's stronghold, while the other group were responsible for protecting the residents of Zhennan Mansion and preventing the remaining forces of the Vampire Sect from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

"We still need more information," Luo Chen said. "I suggest that we send some people to sneak into the Vampire Sect's stronghold as ordinary people to collect more intelligence."

Qingshuang nodded in agreement: "At the same time, we cannot ignore the people who have been affected by the Vampire Sect. We need to find a way to help them regain their sanity."

In the next few days, the members of Qingying Guard became busy. They acted separately according to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's plan.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang personally led a small team deep into the Vampire Sect's stronghold, trying to find the old man with long blood-colored hair.

During a late-night infiltration operation, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally met the old man head-on.

The old man seemed to have anticipated their arrival. He stood in the center of a huge bloody altar, surrounded by his trusted disciples.

"You are finally here," the old man said with a hint of ridicule in his voice, "I have been waiting for you."

Luo Chen held the hilt of the sword tightly with a firm gaze: "The Vampire Sect's conspiracy ends here. Don't even think about hurting innocent people anymore."

The old man laughed, his laughter full of madness: "You are too naive. The Vampire Sect's plan has penetrated deep into your bones and you cannot stop it."

Qingshuang didn't speak, she knew now was not the time for words.

Her body swayed and turned into a ray of green light, which went straight to the old man's throat.

The old man waved his hand gently, and a blood-colored air flow knocked Qingshuang away.

Upon seeing this, Luo Chen immediately waved his sword and joined the battle group.

The two men's swordsmanship was as good as that of a dragon or a tiger, and they had a fierce confrontation with the old man.

During the battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually discovered that although the old man's strength was powerful, it seemed to be subject to some restrictions and could not be fully utilized.

During a fight, Luo Chen shouted loudly: "Why don't you attack with all your strength?"

The old man sneered: "Do you think I will really fight you to the death here? I have more important things to do."

Before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly turned into a ball of blood mist and disappeared on the altar.

"Disappeared?"

"What kind of method is this?"

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that this old man was no ordinary person, and his disappearance might indicate a bigger conspiracy.

They quickly examined the Blood Altar, trying to find any clues.

"Luochen, look here." Qingshuang pointed at a complex rune pattern on the altar, which seemed to be glowing slightly.

Luo Chen observed carefully and found that this rune was different from what they had seen in other Vampire Sect strongholds before.

It seems to be a teleportation rune, which may be the reason why the old man disappeared.

"This rune may be a portal leading to an important place." Luo Chen pondered, "We have to be careful, this may be a trap."

Qingshuang nodded, knowing that Luo Chen's caution was necessary.

They decided not to act in a hurry, but to bring this discovery back to other members of the Qingying Guard.

Back at Zhennan Mansion, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang convened the think tank of Qingying Guard and told everyone their findings and inferences.

After some discussion, they decided to send a team to investigate the location that the rune might point to, while Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to search for other bases of the Blood Vampire Sect in Zhennan Prefecture.

A few days later, the team sent by Qingyingwei sent back news.

They found an ancient relic hidden in the mountains, where the runes were very similar to what Luo Chen and Qing Shuang described.

There seemed to be signs of Blood Vampire Sect activities in the ruins, but the specific situation needed further investigation.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to go to the ruins in person.

They led an elite team and quietly approached the mountain area at night.

After walking through the mountains and forests for several hours, they finally found the entrance to the ruins.

The entrance to the ruins was extremely hidden and difficult to find.

Perhaps, it was also because of good luck.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were able to find this place.

"What is hidden in this ruins?"

"Why did the Blood Vampire Sect choose this place?"

"Is there something special about this place?"

Luo Chen frowned slightly and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the team into the ruins carefully.

As they went deeper, the air around them seemed to become colder and colder, and an ominous atmosphere filled the air.

"Everyone be careful, there may be traps here."

Luo Chen whispered a warning, his eyes wandering around, trying to find any unusual signs.

Qing Shuang nodded, she tightly grasped the sword in her hand, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

The other members of the team also became more vigilant. They knew that once they stepped into this ruins, it might mean a life-and-death contest.

They continued to move forward, passing through winding corridors, and finally came to a huge stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber, there was a huge stone platform, on which was placed an ancient sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus was covered with runes, which were strikingly similar to the runes that Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had seen on the altar before.

"Will the old man with blood-red hair be in this sarcophagus?" Qing Shuang asked in a low voice, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

Luo Chen did not answer, he walked forward and carefully observed the sarcophagus.

Suddenly, the runes on the sarcophagus began to emit a dazzling light, and the entire stone chamber began to shake.

"Quickly retreat!" Luo Chen shouted, and he and Qing Shuang quickly led the team to retreat, but it was too late.

The lid of the sarcophagus slowly opened, and a powerful force burst out from it, shaking them all away.

When the dust settled, they saw a figure slowly standing up from the sarcophagus.

It was a tall man with a handsome face, but his eyes revealed a chilling coldness.

Among them, the only difference was that the man's face looked extremely pale.

It was like a dead body without blood.

"You are finally here." The man's voice was low and cold, echoing in the stone chamber, making people feel cold.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, they knew that the man in front of them was not an ordinary person.

Luo Chen stood up, blocked the front of the team, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man smiled slightly, with a hint of disdain in his smile: "Who am I? How can you mortals know? As for why I am here, it's because I need a quiet place to complete my plan."

Qing Shuang gripped the hilt of the sword and stared at the man vigilantly: "Your plan? Is it related to the Blood Ghost Sect?"

The man nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Yes, it seems that you already know something. Yes, I am the man behind the Blood Ghost Sect. You can call me the Blood Demon."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were shocked. They didn't expect to face the real mastermind behind the Blood Ghost Sect here.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "Blood Demon, what is your plan? Why do you want to plunge the entire Yuan Dynasty into chaos?"

The Blood Demon smiled contemptuously: "Chaos? That's just the beginning. What I want is for the whole world to submit to me and become the world of the Blood Demon Sect, and you will become the sacrifice of my plan."

Qing Shuang shouted angrily, and his figure shook, and he turned into a green light again, and went straight to the Blood Demon.

The Blood Demon was not in a hurry. With a single hand wave, a blood-colored airflow once again repelled Qing Shuang.

Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately swung his sword to join the battle.

The two swordsmen were like dragons and tigers, and they fought fiercely with the Blood Demon.

But the Blood Demon's strength was far beyond their imagination, and every attack was easily resolved.

During the battle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually discovered that the Blood Demon seemed to enjoy this battle. He did not go all out, but seemed to be playing with them.

"You are too weak," the Blood Demon taunted, "This kind of battle is no fun for me."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were anxious, they knew they had to find the Blood Demon's weakness as soon as possible.

Luo Chen suddenly remembered the rune he found on the altar before, he said loudly to Qing Shuang: "Qing Shuang, do you still remember that rune? Maybe we can use it to deal with the Blood Demon."

Qing Shuang's eyes flashed with enlightenment, she immediately took out a jade slip from her arms, on which was engraved the same rune.

She raised the jade slip high and chanted a spell.

Seeing this, the Blood Demon's face finally changed: "How did you get that rune?"

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not answer, they concentrated their minds and injected their strength into the jade slip.

The jade slip emitted a dazzling light, forming a huge rune formation, trapping the blood demon inside.

The blood demon was trapped, and his power seemed to be suppressed. He began to struggle and tried to break through the formation.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took the opportunity to launch an attack. Their swordsmanship became more fierce, and finally left scars on the blood demon.

The blood demon roared, and his body began to swell, as if he was about to burst out with more powerful power.

But at this moment, the formation suddenly made a loud noise, and the blood demon's body was torn apart by the power of the rune, turning into a blood mist and dissipating.

It's over?

Solved?

Or... this blood demon hidden in the sarcophagus is just one of the avatars of the blood demon of the Blood Demon Sect?

After all, if the blood demon was so easy to solve, the Blood Demon Sect would probably not have developed to the point where it is now.

But no matter what, the matter should be temporarily resolved now.

After eradicating this secret base, the Blood Demon Sect's power within the Yuan Dynasty should not be a threat.

Even, he and Qing Shuang don't need to fight.

The forces within the single-unit dynasty can easily solve the subsequent troubles.

"Check the secret realm to see if there is anything else that has not been discovered in the secret realm."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that although the blood demon seemed to have dissipated, the battle was far from over.

They must thoroughly check this secret realm to ensure that no possible threats are missed.

"Everyone be careful and continue searching." Luo Chen ordered, his voice echoing in the empty stone chamber.

The members of the team dispersed and carefully checked every corner, every relief on the stone wall, and every stone slab that might hide a mechanism.

Time passed by, but apart from the sarcophagus and the stone platform, they did not find anything else suspicious.

"Luo Chen, there seems to be nothing else here." Qing Shuang said, with a hint of fatigue in her voice.

Luo Chen nodded, he looked around, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Let's withdraw from the secret realm first, and then report the situation here to Zhennan Prefecture." Luo Chen decided.

The team began to retreat in an orderly manner, with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walking at the end to ensure that no one was left behind.

Just as they were about to leave the stone chamber, a strange wave suddenly appeared behind them.

"Be careful!" Luo Chen shouted, and he and Qing Shuang immediately took a defensive stance.

A blood-red rune slowly floated above everyone's heads at this moment.

As soon as the blood-red rune appeared, the surrounding environment slowly began to distort.

A strong fishy smell gradually spread.
