Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Lu Yuan felt uneasy, but he still decided to try to enter the Taoist temple to find out what was going on.

"I think Qingxuzi should still be here, but he can't see us for the time being."

He said, and then pushed open the door of the Taoist temple.

The scene inside the door made the three of them slightly stunned.

The Taoist temple was clean and tidy. Although the incense had not yet burned out, there was an air of deathly silence all around, as if the place had been abandoned for a long time.

"Here...how could it be like this?"

There was a hint of fear in Ye Ling'er's voice.

Lu Yuan did not answer. He walked into the hall cautiously, his eyes scanning the surrounding environment, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"Qingxuzi once lived here, but now seems to have left."

Chu Yao said in a low voice.

Lu Yuan nodded, but he knew that things were not simple.

Just as they were looking around, a cold voice suddenly came from deep in the hall.

"You are finally here."

Lu Yuan immediately turned around and stared into the depths of the hall.

I saw a man in a gray robe slowly walking out of the shadows, his eyes flashing with cold light.

"who are you?"

Lu Yuan asked coldly, already having some guesses in his mind.

The grey-robed man smiled slightly, with a hint of mockery in his voice: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you will never find Qingxuzi."

Lu Yuan's heart tightened and he gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly.

"You people from the Black Demon Sect have indeed known our plan."

He said, with a hint of murderous intent in his tone.

The grey-robed man chuckled, his eyes full of pride: "Yes, Qingxuzi has been captured by us a long time ago. You idiots actually want to find him to remove the curse. It's really stupid."

Lu Yuan's heart sank suddenly.

He didn't expect that the Black Demon Sect had captured Qingxuzi ahead of time.

"In that case, I will have to rescue him from you myself."

Lu Yuan said coldly, and the Xuanyuan Sword began to flash with golden light.

The gray-robed man's face suddenly turned gloomy. He sneered, "Save him? You can't even protect yourselves now, and you still want to save people?"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless black shadows suddenly appeared from all around and surrounded Lu Yuan and the other two.

"This is... an assassin from the Black Demon Sect!"

Ye Ling'er exclaimed, a look of panic on her face.

Lu Yuan was not panicked at all. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we must deal with these people first, and then go to rescue Qingxuzi."

"Ready to fight!"

Following his order, Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao quickly entered combat status. The Xuanyuan Sword in Lu Yuan's hand burst out with strong sword energy and rushed straight towards the black shadows.

"kill!"

The shadow assassins rushed towards Lu Yuan, their blades flashing with a cold light.

Lu Yuan did not hesitate, and swung out the Xuanyuan Sword, releasing sword energy to forcibly block their attack.

"boom!"

The sword energy and the knife light collided, causing a huge roar, and a suppressed murderous aura filled the air.

The man in gray robe stood aside and watched all this coldly, his eyes full of mockery.

"You rubbish, you actually want to fight against our Black Demon Sect. You really overestimate your own abilities."

Lu Yuan ignored his ridicule. He knew that although these shadow assassins in front of him were powerful, the real threat came from this gray-robed man.

"We must get rid of him as soon as possible!"

He made a secret decision in his mind.

Lu Yuan's swordsmanship became more and more fierce. The Xuanyuan Sword in his hand seemed to turn into a golden dragon, invincible.

The shadow assassins fell one after another under his sword energy. In a blink of an eye, there were only a few assassins left. "It's time to end it!"

Lu Yuan shouted suddenly, and the Xuanyuan Sword turned into a golden lightning, piercing straight into the chest of the gray-robed man.

"Humph!"

The gray-robed man snorted coldly and waved the staff in his hand. The black light instantly blocked Lu Yuan's sword energy.

"Do you think I can be defeated by you so easily?"

He sneered, clenched his hands suddenly, and the black spiritual power quickly gathered in the staff, turning into a powerful shock wave, heading straight for Lu Yuan.

"boom!"

Lu Yuan was shocked and stepped back repeatedly, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Lu Yuan!"

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao rushed over, their faces filled with anxiety.

Lu Yuan forced himself to steady himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"You are indeed stronger than those shadow assassins, but that doesn't mean you can beat me."

He said, his tone unyielding.

Lu Yuan tightly gripped the Xuanyuan Sword, his eyes fixed on the gray-robed man in front of him.

Although a lot of his physical and spiritual strength had been consumed in the previous battle, he knew that he could not retreat now.

Surrounded by enemies, they have no way to retreat.

The gray-robed man sneered and walked towards Lu Yuan step by step, the staff in his hand flashing with a strange light.

"Just accept your fate. None of you will leave alive today."

His voice was extremely cold, like a whisper from hell, making people shudder.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his breathing, and thought quickly about how to deal with the situation in his mind.

He knew that the opponent's staff was extremely powerful, and a head-on fight was obviously not the best option.

"We must take advantage of the terrain and defeat them one by one."

He said in a deep voice, his eyes showing determination.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao nodded, with a gleam of determination in their eyes.

Lu Yuan quickly analyzed the situation in front of him. Although there were many shadow assassins around, their actions depended on the command of the gray-robed man.

As long as they can disrupt the rhythm of the gray-robed man, they will have a chance to turn the tables.

"Ling'er, Chu Yao, you are responsible for attracting the attention of these black shadows, I will deal with him."

At Lu Yuan's command, Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao acted without hesitation.

They quickly dispersed and attacked the shadow assassins on both sides, trying to disperse the enemy's firepower.

"Trying to distract me? Naive!"

The gray-robed man sneered, waved his staff, and a black light went straight towards Ye Ling'er.

"Ling'er, be careful!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly and rushed towards Ye Ling'er like lightning. The Xuanyuan Sword instantly burst out with a golden sword energy, blocking the black light.

"boom!"

The sword energy and black spiritual power collided violently in the air, making a deafening sound.

Ye Ling'er was shocked and retreated repeatedly, her face slightly pale, but she did not stop. She quickly adjusted her body shape and joined the battle again.

"Chu Yao, keep attacking these shadows, don't let them get close!"

Lu Yuan gave the order quickly.

Chu Yao also understood the current situation. She gritted her teeth and swung the sword in her hand like lightning, blocking the attacks of several shadow assassins.

"Very good, that's it, hold them back!"

Lu Yuan thought to himself.

He knew that time was running out and he had to deal with the man in gray robe as soon as possible.

"Your resistance is meaningless!" (End of this chapter)
