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

Lu Yuan stood in front of the fallen monster, holding the Xuanyuan Sword tightly.

He was breathing heavily, his spiritual power was greatly consumed in this fierce battle, and beads of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao were equally tired, but there was a hint of relief in their eyes.

"Finally knocked it down."

Ye Ling'er said softly, with a hint of relief in her tone.

“This battle is too difficult.”

Chu Yao tightly gripped the sword, feeling the sweat on her palms, and felt a little scared.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything, his eyes remained calm as he stared at the fallen monster.

Although the immediate threat was temporarily lifted, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart still existed.

"The Black Demon Sect has set up so many traps, and this monster is just one of them."

He whispered, a hint of alarm in his voice.

"Their real plan has not yet been fully exposed."

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao looked at each other, and the relaxed expressions on their faces suddenly disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of uneasiness.

"Are you saying that the Dark Sect has a bigger conspiracy?"

Ye Ling'er asked, with a hint of worry in her tone.

Lu Yuan nodded, and the Xuanyuan Sword trembled slightly, as if sensing the dangerous aura all around.

"The monsters and the fog formation are just a trick. Their real purpose cannot be just these."

He said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

"We must keep moving forward, find Qingxuzi, and uncover their plan."

Chu Yao frowned, with a hint of anxiety in her tone: "But, Brother Lu Yuan, your spiritual power is very depleted. Isn't it too risky to continue moving forward now?"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, and a determined light flashed in his eyes.

"I can't stop. The conspiracy of the Dark Sect must be uncovered as soon as possible."

He said, his tone full of determination.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao looked at Lu Yuan's back. Although they were worried, they knew that Lu Yuan was determined and could not be dissuaded.

"let's go."

Lu Yuan turned around, looked determined, and took the lead to step forward.

The two followed closely behind. Although they were a little nervous, they knew that Lu Yuan's judgment was not wrong.

As the three of them moved forward, the oppressive feeling in the air gradually dissipated and the fog became thinner and thinner.

Not long after, they finally walked out of this strange area and saw an open valley in front of them.

In the valley, Qingxuzi was sitting cross-legged. He was surrounded by powerful spiritual energy barriers and seemed to be regulating his breathing to recover.

"Qingxuzi!"

Ye Ling'er's eyes lit up instantly and she called out his name.

Lu Yuan also quickly quickened his pace and walked towards Qingxuzi.

"We finally found him."

Chu Yao said softly, with a hint of relief on her face.

However, Lu Yuan's eyes remained stern. He could feel that there was something abnormal about the fluctuation of spiritual energy in Qingxuzi's body.

"He seems to be seriously injured."

Lu Yuan said in a deep voice, the Xuanyuan Sword trembling slightly in his hand, as if sensing some dangerous aura.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao also noticed something unusual, and they gripped their weapons tightly, looking around vigilantly.

Just as they approached Qingxuzi, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the other side of the valley.

"Hahahaha... I didn't expect you guys actually found this place."

The voice carried a hint of sarcasm, as if it had already anticipated the arrival of Lu Yuan and others.

Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold in an instant, and the Xuan-Yuan Sword flashed with a sharp light in his hand.

"who is it?"

He shouted coldly, his eyes flicking in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw a man in a black robe slowly walking out from the shadow of the valley with an evil smile on his face.

"People from the Black Demon Sect!"

Chu Yao instantly recognized the person coming and her expression suddenly changed.

Ye Ling'er also held the dagger tightly, her eyes full of vigilance.

"You guys are still plotting something in secret!"

There was a hint of anger in Lu Yuan's voice. He knew that the Black Demon Sect's plan was far from over.

"Do you think your conspiracy will succeed?"

The man in black robe sneered, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"How can you mortals understand our Black Demon Sect's plan?"

He said, his voice thick with contempt.

"Qingxuzi's power is our real goal."

Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp and he stared at the man in black robe.

"You want to use Qingxuzi's power?"

He said, a hint of shock in his tone.

The black-robed man sneered and nodded: "Yes, Qingxuzi, as an elder of the Taoist sect, has extremely pure spiritual power in his body."

"And our Black Demon Sect's plan is to transform the spiritual power in his body into the power of our evil magic." Lu Yuan's face instantly became extremely ugly.

"How dare you be so reckless!"

He said, anger strong in his voice.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao were also shocked. They didn't expect that the Black Demon Sect would be so bold as to try to use Qingxuzi's power to implement their evil plan.

"You won't succeed!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand burst into a blazing light, and the sword energy rushed straight towards the man in black robe like thunder.

"Hahaha……"

The man in black robe was not at all panicked. His body was instantly wrapped in a layer of black spiritual power shield. The sword energy only caused a wave in the shield but could not break through it at all.

"Although your sword energy is strong, it is not enough to break my defense."

He said, his eyes gleaming with confidence.

Lu Yuan's eyes were still cold, and the Xuan-Yuan Sword trembled slightly in his hand.

"You underestimated the power of the Xuanyuan Sword."

After he finished speaking, the light on the Xuanyuan Sword surged again, and the sword energy burst out like a strong wind, rushing straight towards the shield of the man in black robe.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the shield was instantly torn apart by the sword energy. The black-robed man's body was suddenly shaken back, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"you!"

He looked at Lu Yuan in shock, obviously not expecting his strength to be so strong.

"I told you that your conspiracy will never succeed."

Lu Yuan said coldly, the tip of the Xuanyuan Sword still pointing at the man in black robe.

"hateful!"

The man in black robe clenched his teeth and his expression became extremely ferocious.

"But do you think you can stop the Black Demon Sect's plan by yourself?"

After he finished speaking, he violently waved the talisman in his hand, and a large amount of black spiritual power instantly emerged in the air around him, as if it was going to cover the entire valley.

"What's this!"

Ye Ling'er's face was filled with horror. She could feel the extremely strong evil power contained in these black spiritual powers.

Chu Yao also held her weapon tightly, her face full of vigilance.

"This is a forbidden technique of the Black Demon Sect."

Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold in an instant. He knew that these black spiritual powers were an extremely dangerous evil magic. Once eroded, he would pay a huge price.

"Ling'er, Chu Yao, stand behind me!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand burst out with a stronger light. The sword energy swept out like a strong wind, trying to resist the erosion of the black spiritual power.

"You can't escape!"

The man in black robe laughed and said, waving his hands violently, and the black spiritual power around him surged towards Lu Yuan and the other two like a tide.

"Xuan-Yuan Sword, broken!"

Lu Yuan shouted angrily, and the Xuanyuan Sword instantly burst out with dazzling golden light, and the sword energy rushed straight towards the black spiritual power like a sharp blade.

"boom!"

The sword energy and black spiritual power collided with each other, causing a deafening sound.

The air is filled with strong spiritual waves
The whole valley seemed to be thrown into chaos in an instant.

"We can't delay this any longer!"

Lu Yuan clenched his teeth. He knew that if the stalemate continued, their spiritual power would be exhausted sooner or later.

"There is only one way!"

As he spoke, the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand suddenly burst out with its final light, and the sword energy rushed straight towards the man in black robe.

"what!"

The man in black robe had a look of fear on his face. His shield had been broken and he was unable to withstand such a powerful sword energy.

"boom!"

The sword energy instantly hit the man in black robe, knocking his body flying and falling heavily to the ground.

"You...you actually..."

The man in black robe looked at Lu Yuan with horror, his eyes filled with despair.

"Your Black Demon Sect's conspiracy ends here."

Lu Yuan said coldly, the Xuanyuan Sword still flashing brightly in his hand.

The black spiritual energy in the air gradually dissipated, and the valley returned to peace again.

"it is finally over."

Ye Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, her face full of fatigue.

Chu Yao also wiped the sweat from her forehead, with a look of relief on her face.

Lu Yuan slowly put away the Xuanyuan Sword, his eyes still calm.

Although the immediate threat was temporarily resolved, he knew that the conspiracy of the Dark Sect was far from being fully revealed.

"The spiritual power in Qingxuzi's body is the key."

He said, and then walked towards Qingxuzi.

"We must find the answer to this mystery." (End of this chapter)
