Chapter 1429: Chapter 702: The White Elephant City Affair Concluded!

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, immediately realizing that the situation might not be simple.

They quickly followed the messenger to the government office.

Upon arrival, Master Zhang greeted them at once, his expression more severe than last time.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, we just received news that the remnants of Heifeng Ridge have begun massacring the villagers in nearby villages." Master Zhang’s voice carried a hint of anxiety. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s hearts sank upon hearing this.

Luo Chen clenched his fists tightly, a flicker of anger in his eyes: "These beasts, how dare they harm innocent villagers like this!"

Qing Shuang’s face also showed a determined look: "We cannot stand by idly, we must act quickly."

Master Zhang nodded, his tone heavy: "I have already organized a rescue team, but we need your help. You are the most familiar with the situation at Heifeng Ridge, only you can locate the hideouts of those remnants."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang agreed without the slightest hesitation.

They knew that time was of the essence; every minute’s delay could mean more innocent lives lost.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led the rescue team, silently advancing towards Heifeng Ridge.

They understood that this mission was not only for rescue but also to eradicate the evil forces of Heifeng Ridge completely.

The team traversed through the night, with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang leading at the front, using their familiarity with the terrain to avoid potential ambush points in Heifeng Ridge.

After several hours of forced march, they finally approached the central area of Heifeng Ridge.

In a hidden valley, they discovered the traces of the remnants of Heifeng Ridge.

In the valley, flickering flames could be seen, and faintly, cries and wails could be heard.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, knowing that the battle was about to begin.

Luo Chen whispered to Qing Shuang: "Go inform the rescue team to flank them from the rear, I’ll first scout the situation."

Qing Shuang nodded, aware that Luo Chen’s swordsmanship was even sharper at night, and that he was skilled in stealth, allowing him to scout the enemy’s situation first.

Luo Chen, like a specter, silently approached the valley.

Using the cover of night and terrain, he evaded the enemy patrols and infiltrated the valley.

He discovered that the remnants of Heifeng Ridge were setting up a temporary camp in the valley, with villagers surrounded in the middle, while some men in black questioned and tortured the villagers.

Fury burned within Luo Chen, but he knew that acting rashly would only make the situation more dangerous.

He quickly returned to report what he had seen to Qing Shuang and the rescue team.

"We must act immediately, but be cautious, avoid harming the villagers." Luo Chen said seriously.

Qing Shuang and the captain of the rescue team nodded, quickly devising a detailed rescue plan.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang led a contingent of elite soldiers to launch a frontal assault, drawing the enemy’s attention.

The main force of the rescue team quietly approached from the rear, preparing to rescue the villagers.

The battle erupted in the dark night, with Luo Chen and Qing Shuang striking like two sharp swords straight into the enemy’s heart.

Their swordsmanship was incredibly sharp, and wherever they went, the men in black fell one after another.

Meanwhile, the rescue team successfully approached the villagers, taking swift action to free them from the encirclement of the men in black.

The battle lasted nearly an hour, ultimately ending in the rout of the remnants of Heifeng Ridge.

Though both Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were injured, their eyes shone with the light of victory.

The rescue team successfully escorted all the villagers safely out of Heifeng Ridge, while the remnants of Heifeng Ridge were captured by government soldiers.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood at the entrance of the valley, watching the rescued villagers, their hearts filled with relief.

"It’s done."

Luo Chen said softly.

Qing Shuang smiled and nodded: "Yes, we succeeded."

Although the battle was over, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew their task was not yet complete.

They had to escort these remnants of Heifeng Ridge back to White Elephant City to face justice.

Moreover, in Luo Chen’s heart, there was a deeper concern.

Despite the success of this mission, the true force behind Heifeng Ridge, the one seemingly controlling everything from the shadows, had yet to surface.

This force was more terrifying than the bandits of Heifeng Ridge, like a viper lurking in the dark, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.

As they escorted the captives, they set out on the way back to White Elephant City.

Along the way, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continually discussed their views on the challenges they might encounter next.

Qing Shuang suggested that they might extract some clues about the secret mastermind from these captives, while Luo Chen worried that the remnants might have been trained to keep silent and would not easily divulge any information.

When they returned to White Elephant City, Master Zhang highly praised Luo Chen and Qing Shuang for their heroic deeds and personally held a celebratory feast for them.

At the feast, Luo Chen tentatively brought up his concerns about the secret mastermind, and Master Zhang, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows, clearly aware of the seriousness of this issue.

"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, your concerns are indeed on point, the matter of Heifeng Ridge is far from simple."

"I have sent people to investigate secretly, but so far, there are no definitive clues."

"Since you both have such profound insights into this matter, why not stay in White Elephant City and help us uncover this mystery together?"

Master Zhang said earnestly.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, seeing the determination in each other’s eyes.
