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

Lu Yuan stood on a devastated battlefield, the air around him still filled with the aftermath of the battle.

He frowned slightly, knowing in his heart that although the minions of the Black Demon Sect before him had been eliminated, the real crisis had not yet been resolved.

"The remnants of the Dark Gate are still hiding, and their conspiracy is far from over."

Lu Yuan said in a low voice, his eyes solemn.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao stood aside, their faces still showing fatigue from the battle.

"Brother Lu Yuan, even though we beat back the people from the Black Demon Sect, there must be a greater force behind them."

Ye Ling'er said softly, with some worry in her eyes.

Chu Yao nodded, and then said: "Those black shadows just now were just the vanguard of the Black Demon Sect, the real main force has not yet appeared."

"What should we do next?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then his eyes became firm.

“We can no longer wait passively.”

"The remnants of the Dark Sect must be hiding in some secret base. If we can take the initiative to attack and find their lair, we can crush their conspiracy in one fell swoop."

Chu Yao frowned slightly, and then asked: "But we don't have any definite clues, their hiding places may be all over the world."

Lu Yuan nodded.

“Because of this, we have to be more careful.”

"However, according to what Senior Qingxuzi had told us before, the evil arts of the Black Demon Sect originated from some ancient ruins."

"These ruins often hide evil powers and formations."

"If we can find these sites, we may be able to discover their whereabouts."

A glimmer of understanding flashed across Ye Ling'er's eyes.

"So, next we need to continue looking for those ancient ruins?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes deep.

"Yes."

"We must find the next stronghold of the Dark Gate and destroy the source of their evil magic."

At this moment, Ye Ling'er suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "Brother Lu Yuan, I remember that the Black Demon Sect once had a secret base in Jiuyou Mountain in the south."

"It is said that it was a place for spiritual practice in ancient times. Later, it was occupied by the Black Demon Sect and used as a place for them to conduct evil magic experiments."

Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Jiuyou Mountain?"

He whispered, and then said: "It seems that we have to go to Jiuyou Mountain to find out."

Chu Yao nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Then let's set off now. We can't give the Dark Demon Sect any chance to catch their breath."

The three of them made a quick decision, packed their luggage, and rushed towards Jiuyou Mountain.

Jiuyou Mountain is located in the south. It has rugged terrain and steep mountains. It is shrouded in thick fog all year round, like a forbidden area isolated from the world.

According to rumors, this mountain was once a holy place for practitioners in ancient times, but hundreds of years ago, a great war turned it into a desolate ruin.

And now, this place has become the secret base of the Black Demon Sect.

As they approached, a cold atmosphere began to fill the air, and the surrounding trees withered, as if they had lost their vitality.

“The atmosphere here is so depressing.”

Chu Yao said in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

Lu Yuan nodded.

"The evil magic of the Dark Sect is affecting the environment here."

"The closer we get to Jiuyou Mountain, the stronger the evil energy will become."

Ye Ling'er clenched the dagger in her hand, with a look of determination in her eyes.

"We must defeat them and not let the Black Demon Sect continue to harm the martial arts world."

Lu Yuan glanced at her, smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, we will succeed."

The three of them continued forward and soon arrived at the foot of Jiuyou Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is a desolate ruin. The surrounding stone tablets and ancient buildings have long been dilapidated and have obviously been abandoned for a long time.

"This is the legendary Jiuyou Mountain."

Lu Yuan said in a low voice, looking around.

There was a strong gloomy aura in the air, as if the entire valley was shrouded in some evil force.

"We have to be careful, this place may be full of traps from the Black Demon Sect." Lu Yuan reminded, and then led Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao towards the depths of the valley.

The mountain road was rugged and uneven, the trees around were withered and yellow, and there were many broken stones scattered on the ground, as if it had experienced a fierce battle.

As they went deeper, the atmosphere around them became more bizarre.

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

"Beware!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly and stopped quickly.

A black light curtain suddenly appeared in the air ahead, blocking their way.

"This is the Black Demon Sect's formation!"

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed, and then he quickly drew out the Xuanyuan Sword, and the sword energy slashed towards the black light curtain like thunder.

"boom!"

The sword energy hit the light curtain, causing a strong energy fluctuation.

However, the light curtain did not break, but became even stronger.

"Damn it, this formation is more powerful than we thought."

Chu Yao's face changed slightly, and then she gripped her sword tightly, ready to deal with any sudden danger at any time.

Lu Yuan frowned and carefully observed the changes in the light curtain.

"This formation is used to keep out outsiders."

"But I have a way to break it."

After saying this, he quickly mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand emitted an even brighter light.

"Be careful, I'll break the formation."

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, and the Xuanyuan Sword burst out with powerful sword energy, and the golden light illuminated the surroundings like the sun.

"boom!"

The sword energy slashed towards the light curtain like thunder, and the powerful force instantly tore through the defense on the surface of the light curtain.

The light curtain gradually collapsed under the impact of the sword energy, turning into points of light that dissipated into the air.

"Success!"

Ye Ling'er shouted excitedly, and then cast a happy look at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan nodded, but his eyes were still full of vigilance.

"We have broken the formation, but we cannot be careless."

"It is very likely that the people from the Black Demon Sect have already noticed our arrival."

The three continued to move deeper into the valley. The mountain road became narrower and narrower, and the yin energy in the air became stronger and stronger.

Finally, they arrived at the core area of ​​Jiuyou Mountain.

This is a huge valley. The surrounding mountain walls are engraved with ancient runes and formations, and in the center is a huge black stone palace.

"That is the base of the Dark Sect."

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

"We must destroy the formation and the source of the evil magic here."

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao nodded, and the three of them quickly approached the direction of the stone hall.

Just as they approached the stone hall, a strange low laugh suddenly rang out in the air.

“Hehehe… I didn’t expect someone would dare to break into Jiuyou Mountain.”

As the voice rang out, the door of the stone hall slowly opened and a figure walked out from the shadows.

He was a man in a black robe. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes flashed with a strange red light, and his whole body exuded a strong evil aura.

"A lackey of the Dark Sect."

Lu Yuan said coldly, the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand trembling slightly, as if he felt the evil power of the person in front of him.

The black-robed man sneered and said, "You righteous people really overestimate your own abilities. You actually dare to break into the forbidden area of ​​our Black Demon Sect."

"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving alive."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black light flashed in his hand, and countless black shadows suddenly emerged in the air around them, like evil spirits from hell, and instantly surrounded Lu Yuan and the others.

"You are all going to die here!"

The man in black robe shouted loudly, then waved the black light in his hand and rushed towards Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's eyes were cold and fierce, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand burst out with a strong golden light, and the sword energy slashed at the black shadow that pounced on him like thunder. (End of this chapter)
