Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood-Chapter 1394 - 684: Netherworld Stone, Burn Them All!!_2

After a fierce battle, they finally annihilated the core members of that force and found the secret warehouse where it collected Netherworld Stones.

In the warehouse, they discovered a large number of Netherworld Stones and some ancient tomes and magic artifacts related to dark arts.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu were well aware of the dangers posed by these Netherworld Stones and dark arts, so they decided to destroy all of them to prevent them from falling into the hands of evil people.

Thus, they joined forces to turn the entire warehouse into a sea of fire.

As the warehouse collapsed and the flames extinguished, the threat of that force in North Hong City and surrounding areas was completely eliminated.

Victory had finally arrived.

Luo Chen and Yun Tu stood atop the ruins, gazing at the newly risen sun in the distance.

"Brother Yun Tu, what should we do next?"

Luo Chen turned his head to Yun Tu and asked.

Yun Tu smiled slightly, "Of course, we should continue cultivating to improve our strength. Only by becoming stronger can we do what we want to do."

Luo Chen nodded in agreement, "Exactly! Only with great strength can we do the things we want to do and protect the people we want to protect."

...

Not long after.

Yun Tu left.

After all, with things now settled, staying longer in North Hong City served no purpose for him.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen returned to North Hong City and entered a tavern.

Feeling extremely relaxed, he ordered a table full of wine and dishes.

Eating while listening to the idle chatter in the tavern.

This life seemed rather leisurely.

"Did you hear?"

"In North Hong City’s East District, a Bai Family suddenly suffered a tragic death of the entire clan."

Hearing the chatter in the tavern, Luo Chen slightly furrowed his brow, put down his chopsticks, and listened attentively.

"The Bai Family? East District?"

He murmured to himself, a sense of ominous foreboding rising within him.

The Bai Family was a fairly reputable family in North Hong City, not among the top forces, but still a significant presence in the city.

Luo Chen had encountered the Bai Family Head several times before, and knew the family had always been low-key and kind. Their sudden tragic demise surely hid some unknown secrets.

He stood up, deciding to personally investigate the situation in the East District.

Luo Chen left the tavern, crossed the bustling streets, and headed straight for the East District.

Along the way, he noticed the city’s atmosphere seemed somewhat unusual, with many pedestrians showing signs of anxiety and worry on their faces.

Upon reaching the East District, Luo Chen found the Bai Family estate sealed off, surrounded by guards from the City Lord’s Mansion.

He approached a guard to inquire about the situation.

"Brother, what happened to the Bai Family? Why are there so many guards here?"

Luo Chen asked.

The guard scrutinized Luo Chen, seeing his extraordinary demeanor, and quietly replied, "Sir, the Bai Family was attacked by an unknown force last night; the entire clan was tragically annihilated."

"Upon learning of this, the City Lord immediately sent people to seal off the scene and investigate the matter."

Luo Chen felt a heaviness weigh on him.

Was the Bai Family’s annihilation event connected to the mysterious force they had previously fought?

He decided to delve deeper into the matter to uncover the truth.

Luo Chen circled the Bai Family estate, beginning to gather information throughout the East District.

Utilizing his connections in the city, he inquired of many local residents and merchants, finally gaining some clues from an elder.

"Last night, I heard sounds of fighting and cries from the Bai Family’s direction, but by the time I arrived, everything had ended."

"Only saw the Bai Family’s estate ablaze, and no one emerged from inside."

The elder recalled.

Luo Chen thanked the elder, feeling he had a plan in mind.

He decided to investigate the Bai Family estate by night to search for more clues.

As night fell, Luo Chen donned black attire and silently infiltrated the Bai Family estate.

The estate was in complete disarray, signs of a struggle evident everywhere, with bloodstains still visible on the ground.

He carefully searched the estate and finally found an abandoned diary in a hidden corner.

Luo Chen opened the diary, discovering it recorded some recent unusual occurrences at the Bai Family, including frequent appearances of unidentified individuals around the Bai Family and concerns of the Family Head regarding the family’s future.

Luo Chen secured the diary, intending to leave when he suddenly felt a powerful wave of spiritual power.

Quickly hiding, he saw a black-clad figure emerge from the shadows, holding a black box in hand.

"Could this be the reason for the Bai Family’s annihilation?"

Luo Chen thought inwardly, deciding to follow the black-clad figure.

The black-clad figure seemed very familiar with the Bai Family estate, easily navigating the ruins to reach a concealed underground chamber.

Luo Chen followed carefully, making sure to not create any noise.

In the underground chamber, the black-clad figure opened the black box to reveal a stone emitting a Netherworld aura.

Luo Chen was shocked, could this be the Netherworld Stone they found in the mysterious force’s secret base?

Wasn’t it supposed to have all been destroyed?

Why were there still remnants?

...

The black-clad figure took out the Netherworld Stone, muttering incantations, seemingly executing some kind of dark art.

Luo Chen knew he could wait no longer; he had to stop the black-clad figure.

Just as the black-clad figure was about to complete the crucial step of the dark art, Luo Chen suddenly acted, shooting a blast of Sword Qi at the figure.

Caught off-guard, the black-clad figure was struck by the Sword Qi, and the Netherworld Stone fell to the ground.

"Who are you? Why disrupt my plans?"

The black-clad figure glared at Luo Chen, a flash of panic in his eyes.

Luo Chen coldly chuckled, "Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is that such dark arts must not appear in North Hong City."

The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

The black-clad figure’s cultivation was not weak, but Luo Chen relied on his superior combat experience and swordsmanship and eventually subdued the figure.

Under Luo Chen’s interrogation, the black-clad figure revealed he was a remnant of the mysterious force, attempting to use the power of the Netherworld Stone to create chaos in North Hong City to achieve their evil goals.

Luo Chen handed the black-clad figure over to the City Lord’s Mansion for processing and submitted the Netherworld Stone and diary for further investigation.

The City Lord, upon learning of this, expressed deep gratitude to Luo Chen and ordered a thorough investigation to eliminate any potential threats in the city.

Luo Chen naturally did not participate in this affair himself.

The main force had been defeated.

Now, only a portion of remnants remained.

Just the City Lord’s Mansion alone was sufficient to easily handle it.

...

The next day.

Luo Chen woke early and leisurely strolled through the streets of North Hong City.

On the street, many locals were hawking their goods.

Luo Chen wandered among the bustling crowd, his eyes sweeping across various stalls.

He passed by a fabric shop, where the shopkeeper enthusiastically peddled her goods to passing pedestrians.

Luo Chen paused, his gaze falling on a piece of light blue fabric, reminding him of a sky he saw once in a distant place.

"Sir, you have a keen eye; this fabric is new and soft, and the color is the trendiest this year."

Seeing Luo Chen stop, the shopkeeper eagerly introduced the fabric.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, nodded, and was about to inquire about the price when suddenly his attention was drawn to a scene at the corner of the street.

A crowd had gathered there, seemingly observing something.

"Shopkeeper, I’ll come back later."

Luo Chen told the shopkeeper and quickly walked towards the crowd.

He squeezed through the crowd, finding a ragged elderly man at the center, holding a tattered map and narrating something to the surrounding people.

Drawing closer, Luo Chen listened; the elderly man was telling a tale about an ancient treasure.

"This map is the key to the legendary ’Heavenly Dragon Treasure’!"

The elderly man’s voice carried a mysterious allure.

Luo Chen’s interest was piqued. Though not interested in treasure, he was curious about the possible secrets behind such legends.

However, no one seemed to believe the elderly man’s story.

Just as the words of the elderly were mere nonsense.
