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

As they walked into the tower, the air became even colder, as if an invisible force was oppressing their minds.

The space inside the tower was very narrow. Dim light shone through the broken windows, making the surrounding scene weird and blurry.

"This place feels like it has been abandoned for a long time, but why can I still feel such a strong evil aura?"

Chu Yao asked doubtfully, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

Lu Yuan glanced around and said in a deep voice: "The evil magic of the Black Demon Sect is extremely strange. They may have set up some kind of restriction here."

"Even though the tower has been abandoned, their power can still continue to affect the environment here."

Ye Ling'er raised her hand and gently touched the wall.

"Look, these runes on the wall."

She whispered, pointing to the faint scratches on the wall.

Lu Yuan took a closer look and found that the runes looked like some ancient array symbols. They were already blurry, but he could still vaguely feel the residual spiritual energy fluctuations in them.

"This is the forbidden rune of the Black Demon Gate."

Lu Yuan frowned and said.

"It seems that they did set up a powerful formation here."

"These runes may be related to soul attraction."

He pondered for a moment, then continued, "Let's continue to go up and see if there are any clues to the soul guide hidden on the top of the tower."

The three continued to walk deeper into the tower. The stairs spiraled upward and seemed to have no end.

As their footsteps echoed in the empty tower, the atmosphere around them became increasingly eerie.

"The chilly atmosphere here is getting worse."

Chu Yao said in a low voice, holding the sword tightly in her hand, her eyes full of vigilance.

Lu Yuan nodded.

"The closer you get to the top of the tower, the stronger the evil energy becomes."

"This means that we are not far from soul attraction."

Ye Ling'er followed closely behind, her brows furrowed.

"hope everything is fine."

Suddenly, a low humming sound came from deep inside the tower, as if some ancient power was awakening.

Lu Yuan stopped suddenly, a hint of alertness flashing in his eyes.

"Did you hear that?"

He asked in a low voice, tightly gripping the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.

"What is that sound?"

Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er also stopped at the same time, pricked up their ears, and looked around nervously.

“It’s like some kind of force is at work.”

Ye Ling'er said softly, with a hint of uneasiness in her expression.

Lu Yuan stared at the top of the tower and said, "Maybe the ban protecting this tower has been activated."

"We have to be careful."

The three of them continued to move forward cautiously, taking every step carefully, not daring to relax at all.

Finally, they reached the top floor of the stone tower.

The space on the top floor is relatively spacious, with an ancient altar in the center. The altar is covered with dust and cobwebs, and it is obvious that no one has been here for a long time.

"This is the altar of the Dark Demon Gate."

Lu Yuan said in a low voice, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"The Soul Guide is most likely hidden here."

Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er quickly approached the altar and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

In the center of the altar stood a black stone box, which was engraved with dense runes and emitted a faint red light.

“Is this the soul guide?”

Ye Ling'er asked, her tone somewhat nervous.

"Most likely."

Lu Yuan slowly approached the stone box, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if sensing the presence of evil spirit.

"We have to destroy it."

Lu Yuan said, then raised the Xuanyuan Sword, and the sword energy instantly condensed on the sword edge.

However, just as he was about to swing his sword at the stone box, a strong energy wave suddenly erupted in the air.

"Beware!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly and retreated quickly.

A black shadow suddenly jumped out from the shadow of the altar and rushed towards Lu Yuan.

"what!"

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao were horrified and quickly drew their weapons to fight back.

The black shadow was extremely fast, like a swirling black fog, and instantly surrounded Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan hurriedly swung the Xuanyuan Sword, and the sword energy slashed towards the black shadow like thunder.

"boom!"

The sword energy hit the black shadow, and a violent energy wave erupted, and the black shadow was instantly repelled. Lu Yuan steadied his body and stared at the black shadow closely.

"What is this?"

Chu Yao asked loudly, her face pale, obviously frightened by the strange scene before her.

"This thing is a vengeful spirit condensed by the Black Demon Sect using evil magic."

Lu Yuan said in a cold voice, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"They use these vengeful spirits to guard the soul guide and prevent outsiders from approaching."

Ye Ling'er frowned and said, "Then what should we do?"

"If these evil spirits keep blocking us here, we won't be able to get close to the Soul Guide at all."

Lu Yuan's eyes became sharper, he knew that he could not hesitate any longer at this moment.

"I'll deal with these evil spirits."

"You took the opportunity to destroy the stone box on the altar."

He said, and then swung the Xuanyuan Sword again. The sword energy swept out like a gust of wind and rushed straight towards the vengeful spirit.

The vengeful spirits let out shrill roars, and countless distorted faces could be vaguely seen in the swirling black fog, as if they were enduring endless pain.

"Hurry up and act!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, and the golden light of Xuanyuan Sword burst out among the vengeful spirits, temporarily suppressing the power of the vengeful spirits.

Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er quickly rushed to the altar. Chu Yao drew out her sword and slashed at the stone box.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the stone box was split open by the sword, and the red light inside dissipated instantly.

The evil energy in the air also weakened, and the roar of the vengeful spirits gradually became weaker, and finally disappeared completely into the air.

"Success!"

Ye Ling'er shouted loudly with a happy smile on her face.

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then walked to the altar and carefully checked the contents of the stone box.

"The soul guide has been destroyed."

He said, with a calm look in his eyes.

"But we can't let our guard down. The Dark Sect must have other tricks up their sleeves."

Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er also nodded. Although they had just experienced a dangerous battle, they were still full of vigilance.

"We must leave here as soon as possible. The people from the Black Demon Sect may soon discover that the Soul Guide has been destroyed."

Lu Yuan said, looking around again.

The three of them quickly evacuated the stone tower and returned to the outside of the Nether Valley.

However, when they walked out of the valley, Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly became alert.

"Something's wrong."

He whispered, then quickly stopped.

Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er also immediately became nervous and looked around at the surrounding environment.

"here

It looks like there's an ambush."

Ye Ling'er said softly, clenching the dagger in her hand.

"The people from the Dark Gate may have discovered us."

Lu Yuan nodded, his eyes sharp.

"Be careful, I feel like someone is watching us."

Just then, a low sound of footsteps suddenly came from the woods.

Then, several dark shadows emerged from the surrounding bushes and surrounded them.

"It seems that you have destroyed the soul guide."

The leading black shadow said coldly, with a hint of chill in his voice.

Lu Yuan tightly grasped the Xuanyuan Sword, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent.

"You guys finally showed up."

He said, a hint of disdain in his tone.

"The people from the Black Demon Sect will not let us leave here easily."

The leading black shadow sneered and said, "Since you have ruined our plan, don't even think about leaving alive."

"on!"

With an order, the dark shadows instantly pounced on Lu Yuan and the other two.

"Be careful, I'll deal with them!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, and the Xuanyuan Sword instantly burst out with dazzling golden light, and the sword energy swept out like a strong wind.

The battle between good and evil begins again.

And this time, Lu Yuan was fully prepared.

No matter how many crises lie ahead, he will fight to the end.

Because, this is not only for the righteousness of the world, but also for the belief in his heart. (End of this chapter)
