Fang Yue's eyes were filled with determination and resoluteness. He snorted coldly and responded, "Don't be so arrogant. I will put an end to all your evil deeds today!"

After saying that, he gripped the sword tightly, and the vital energy in his body continuously poured into it. The sword glowed brightly, as if there was spiritual light flowing.

The mysterious man saw this, but was not afraid at all. He waved the magic wand in his hand violently, and the huge rune formation instantly shone with light. Black runes floated out of the formation like living things and quickly attacked Fang Yue.

Fang Yue flashed and displayed exquisite body movements, moving flexibly between the runes while swinging his sword to cut at the approaching runes.

Every rune touched by the sword would emit a burst of black smoke, which contained a trace of evil power, trying to corrode Fang Yue's body.

Fang Yue circulated his vital energy to form a thin layer of protection on his body surface to resist the invasion of the evil force.

While dodging the rune attacks, he waited for an opportunity to approach the mysterious man. He knew very well that only by subduing the mysterious man first could he completely destroy the rune formation and stop the evil forces' conspiracy from continuing to ferment.

Just when Fang Yue was about to approach the mysterious man, the mysterious man recited an obscure spell. The ground around the talisman array suddenly cracked, and several iron chains covered in black flames emerged from it. The iron chains, like spirit snakes, coiled towards Fang Yue.

Fang Yue hurriedly swung his sword to block, and the iron chain collided with the sword, making a series of clanging sounds and splashing a string of sparks.

Fang Yue felt his arm go slightly numb from the shock and was secretly shocked by the power of the chain.

But he had no intention of retreating. He took advantage of the gap in the chain attack, jumped up suddenly, and with the help of the rebound force of the wall, rushed towards the talisman formation where the mysterious man was.

He wanted to find an opportunity to attack the mysterious man from above and disrupt his control over the talisman formation.

The mysterious man seemed to see through Fang Yue's intention. He raised a mocking smile and pointed the magic wand in the air. A powerful suction force surged out of the talisman array, causing Fang Yue's figure to stagnate in the air.

Immediately afterwards, more black runes gathered together to form a huge black rune vortex that swept towards Fang Yue.

Fang Yue gritted his teeth, forced himself to steady his body, gathered all the energy in his body at the tip of the sword, and shouted: "Break the Demon!" A dazzling white sword energy gushed out from the tip of the sword and rushed straight towards the rune vortex.

The sword energy collided with the vortex, causing an earth-shaking roar. The entire hall shook violently, and stones on the wall fell off.

In this violent collision, Fang Yue felt that his energy was greatly consumed, but he still held on, and taking advantage of the moment when the rune vortex was temporarily blocked, he exerted force again and rushed towards the mysterious man.

A trace of panic finally flashed across the mysterious man's face. He didn't expect Fang Yue to be so tenacious that he could break through his attacks time and time again.

At this time, Fang Yue had already come close to the mysterious man. He waved his sword and performed a set of extremely sharp sword moves. The sword shadows were heavy and enveloped the mysterious man.

In a hurry, the mysterious man could only wave his magic wand to resist. Every time the magic wand collided with the sword, it would stir up circles of energy ripples that spread around.

In the fierce confrontation, Fang Yue seized the opportunity, made a feint to get past the mysterious man's defense, and stabbed his sword towards the magic wand in the mysterious man's hand.

There was a crisp "clang" sound, and the sword pierced the magic wand, splashing out a brilliant light.

The mysterious man only felt a strong force coming, his arms felt numb and he almost couldn't hold the wand.

Fang Yue took advantage of the victory and did not give the mysterious man a chance to breathe. He attacked the mysterious man with a series of sword moves.

The mysterious man retreated and blocked, and was gradually forced to the edge of the talisman formation.

At this moment, a gleam of determination flashed in the mysterious man's eyes. Regardless of his own safety, he suddenly inserted the magic wand into the black gem in the center of the talisman array.

In an instant, the black gem burst out with an extremely strong evil force, and the entire hall was filled with this power. Fang Yue felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and it became extremely difficult to move.

The mysterious man used this power to flash and distance himself from Fang Yue. He stood on the other side of the talisman formation with a ferocious smile on his face: "Fang Yue, you forced me to do this. Now I will let you see the true power of this talisman formation!"

As the mysterious man finished speaking, countless black shadows emerged from the talisman formation. These shadows gradually condensed into hideous monsters of various shapes, which pounced towards Fang Yue with their fangs and claws.

Fang Yue looked at the surging army of monsters in front of him. Although he was shocked, he was not afraid at all.

He took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his state, gathered the remaining energy in his body, and prepared to face this fierce battle.

He used a set of sword techniques specifically designed to restrain monsters, and his sword moves were sharp and unpredictable.

Every time the sword was thrust out, it could accurately hit the vital parts of the monster, splashing up a cloud of black smoke.

However, these monsters were so numerous that as soon as one group fell, another group would come up, as if they were endless.

While fighting, Fang Yue paid attention to the changes in the talisman formation.

He discovered that the power of these monsters seemed to be closely related to the black gem in the center of the talisman array.

If we can destroy that gem, we might be able to weaken the monsters' power or even destroy them completely.

So Fang Yue decided to take a risk.

He seized the opportunity and performed the "Phantom Steps". His body turned into a shadow and rushed towards the center of the talisman formation.

The monsters noticed Fang Yue's intention and surrounded him, trying to stop his actions.

Fang Yue brandished his sword, attacking left and blocking right, and engaged in a fierce fight with the monsters.

He had multiple injuries on his body and his clothes were stained with blood, but his eyes remained firm and he showed no intention of retreating.

After breaking through numerous obstacles, Fang Yue finally arrived at the center of the talisman formation.

He raised the sword high, gathered all his strength, and shouted: "Sword to break the formation!" A dazzling light shot out from the tip of the sword and rushed straight towards the black gem.

Just as the light was about to hit the gem, a mysterious man suddenly appeared in front of Fang Yue, and the magic wand in his hand released a powerful dark force, which collided with Fang Yue's sword energy.

"Fang Yue, do you think you can easily ruin my plan? You are too naive!" The mysterious man laughed wildly. Fang Yue gritted his teeth, increased his power output, and started a thrilling duel with the mysterious man.

The power of the two people intertwined and collided in the air, producing a huge energy fluctuation. The entire hall was shaking under the impact of this force.

At the critical moment, Fang Yue suddenly remembered a method to crack the evil power that he had seen in ancient books.

He decided to go all out and adjusted the flow of his vital energy according to the records in ancient books, and then injected a special power into the sword.

The sword suddenly shone brightly, and that light contained a pure and powerful force.

Fang Yue swung the sword again and slashed towards the mysterious man and the black gem.

This time, the mysterious man could no longer resist Fang Yue's attack.

He was knocked away by the powerful force and fell heavily to the ground.

Under the impact of this force, cracks appeared on the black gem and its light gradually dimmed.

As the black gem was damaged, the monsters lost their power one after another and disappeared into wisps of black smoke.

After successfully breaking the talisman array, defeating the mysterious man and dispersing the monster, Fang Yue did not relax his vigilance. He knew that there might be more secrets and resources of evil forces hidden here, so he began to search carefully in this old building.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

In a hidden corner of the hall, Fang Yue discovered a secret compartment.

He carefully opened the secret compartment and saw a strange light flashing inside, with several precious treasures placed there.

There are ice spirit crystals that emit a faint blue light and seem to contain endless icy power. The spiritual power fluctuations inside them are extremely pure. If they are used, they will definitely improve the strength of those who practice ice-based exercises.

There is also the Yanyangzhi, which looks like a dancing flame and is incredibly hot. Just getting close to it will allow you to feel the fiery energy. For those who practice fire-attributed techniques, it is a rare treasure.
In addition, a round spiritual source bead lies quietly in it. A halo of light flows on the surface of the bead, which seems to gather the essence of the surrounding spiritual energy, which can help warriors quickly recover their vitality and increase their cultivation speed.

After Fang Yue carefully put away these natural treasures, he continued to explore the building. In a secret room, he found some dusty books.

The pages of these books are yellowed and give off an old smell, but the handwriting on them is clearly legible.

Fang Yue opened the book and found that it recorded the organizational structure and personnel distribution of some evil forces.

The above lists in detail some of the hidden strongholds throughout the Wei Dynasty, as well as information about the leaders and main members of each stronghold.

This made Fang Yue realize that what they had discovered before was just the tip of the iceberg of the evil forces, and their sphere of influence was far more extensive than they had imagined.

In addition, the book also mentions several major actions secretly planned by evil forces. Each action aims to disrupt the stability of Wei and create panic and chaos so that they can take advantage of the opportunity to reap profits and further expand their sphere of influence.

One of the plans was to throw a specially made evil poison at the water sources of several important cities in the Wei Dynasty. The evil poison was extremely secretive and could not be detected by ordinary means. Once it flowed into the water sources for daily drinking by the people, it would unknowingly corrode the minds of the drinkers, causing them to become manic and irritable, or even lose their minds and kill each other.

Such a large-scale chaos would inevitably paralyze all parts of Wei. The court's energy would then be distracted by quelling the civil strife, and it would have no time to deal with their subsequent more sinister conspiracies.

Another plan is to rob several ancient royal tombs of the Wei Dynasty. Those tombs are said to contain many magical weapons handed down from ancient times as well as mysterious elixirs that can enhance strength. The evil forces want to obtain these treasures to arm their core members and enhance their overall strength, so that they will be more confident when facing the encirclement and suppression from the court and the martial arts world.

The more Fang looked at it, the more frightened he became. He knew that once these plans were implemented, the Wei Dynasty would be doomed.

He hurriedly memorized the key information recorded in the book, not daring to miss anything.

Continuing to flip through the scroll, it also recorded some situations where evil forces were colluding with external forces. There were actually quite a few forces in the Great Jin that secretly supported them, not only providing them with various rare cultivation resources, but also assisting them in training killers and assassins, specifically to deal with the court officials of the Great Wei and the righteous people in the world.

After reading these contents, Fang Yue knew that he had to rush back to the capital as soon as possible to pass on this crucial information.

He put the scroll away carefully and found a strange map on the wall of the secret room. The map looked very old, with some vague locations marked on it. Some locations were marked with red runes, while others were marked with black runes.

Fang Yue speculated that these marked locations might be related to the strongholds of evil forces or some mysterious source of power they were looking for.

Although it would take a while for him to fully interpret all the information contained in the map, Fang Yue still carefully peeled off the map and put it carefully in his arms.

Fang Yue had just put the map away when he heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from behind him. He turned around alertly and saw an old man with a weathered face appear at the door of the secret room.

The old man looked at Fang Yue with a complicated expression in his eyes: "Young man, you are truly extraordinary for being able to break the evil power here."

Fang Yue frowned slightly, holding the hilt of the sword, and asked: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The old man sighed softly and said, "I was originally the guardian of this valley. I was imprisoned here by evil forces many years ago. They wanted to learn the whereabouts of an ancient treasure in the valley from me. I would rather die than surrender, so I have been trapped here ever since."

Fang Yue's mind moved: "Then do you know more of their conspiracies?"

The old man nodded slowly. "Although I am trapped, I can occasionally hear their words. In addition to the plans recorded in the scrolls, they are also secretly developing an evil spell that can control people's hearts. Once successful, they will select innocent people from various towns in Wei to conduct experiments, and then gradually control the entire Wei people."

Fang Yue's face was solemn: "Is there any way to break this spell?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I only know that they are looking for a magical herb called 'Spirit Heart Grass'. It is said that this herb can cure all kinds of poisons and resist this kind of magic that controls people's minds. However, this Spirit Heart Grass is extremely rare and grows beside spiritual springs in extremely cold places."

Fang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you for telling me, I will do my best to stop them."

The old man looked at Fang Yue again and said, "Young man, the journey to the capital is long and dangerous. The evil forces will definitely send people to intercept you on the way, so you must be careful."

Fang Yue clasped his fists and saluted: "Don't worry, senior, I will be careful. But the evil aura in this valley, I am worried that it will cause trouble in the future, I wonder if you have any solution?"

The old man took out a small object emitting a faint golden light from his arms: "This is a sealing seal that I made by concentrating my own spiritual power over the years. Although it cannot completely eliminate evil, it can temporarily suppress the evil power here. You can place it in the center of the talisman formation in the hall."

Fang Yue took the seal and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior. I will report this to the court and will send someone to rescue you." (End of this chapter)
