Lu Yuan walked out of the room, feeling increasingly complicated.
He knew that he could not let down Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er, but now he had no intention of talking about feelings.
He still has the curse of the Black Demon Sect to be completely eradicated, and the future disputes in the martial arts world are waiting for him.
Every step was like walking on thin ice.
Lu Yuan looked at the distant mountains outside the hospital, feeling an inexplicable sense of oppression in his heart. He knew that such peaceful days would not last long.
While he was thinking, suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from outside.
"Young hero Lu Yuan! Summoned by the alliance leader!"
A henchman of the martial arts leader hurried over, his face a little solemn.
Lu Yuan nodded and followed his cronies towards Chu Feng's residence.
Along the way, he felt vaguely uneasy, as if he had a premonition that there would be a lot of trouble.
Arriving at Chu Feng's study, Lu Yuan saw Chu Feng's face was serious and seemed a little anxious.
"Little friend Lu Yuan, you are here." Chu Feng's voice was a little tired.
"Leader, what happened?" Lu Yuan asked straight to the point after sitting down.
Chu Feng sighed and said: "Some bad news has come."
Lu Yuan frowned and listened patiently.
"We just learned that the people from the Black Demon Sect are gathering forces and preparing to launch a large-scale attack on the righteous path of Jianghu."
"They seem to be supported by some powerful force, and their power has increased significantly in a short period of time."
When Lu Yuan heard this, his heart tightened.
The Black Demon Sect has always been an evil sect in the world, and the power of the curse allows them to have almost no scruples.
If it is true as Chu Feng said, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe.
"Leader, do you have any definite news? What are the specific plans of the Black Demon Sect?" Lu Yuan asked.
Chu Feng shook his head and said: "Currently, there are only sporadic messages from the spies, and their specific movements cannot be determined yet. But what is certain is that their target is not just a certain sect, but the entire martial arts world."
Lu Yuan frowned.
The Black Demon Sect is so arrogant and obviously no longer content to live in the shadow of the past.
"Lu Yuan, I know you have the Xuanyuan Sword and you have lifted part of the curse. You are one of the few people in the world who can fight against the Black Demon Sect."
"I want you to lead a team of people to explore the movements of the Black Demon Sect." Chu Feng said solemnly.
Lu Yuan knew that Chu Feng had extremely high expectations for him.
But he also understood that this mission was extremely dangerous.
The curse of the Black Demon Sect has not yet been completely eradicated, and although he has the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, he is really powerless to confront the entire Black Demon Sect head-on by himself.
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment and then said: "Leader, I am willing to contribute to the righteousness of Wulin. But this matter is not trivial. I am afraid we need more preparation and support."
Chu Feng nodded, as if he had already anticipated Lu Yuan's concerns.
"You are right. This matter cannot be taken lightly."
"I have begun to contact various sects to discuss countermeasures."
"However, we are still missing one important thing right now - miraculous grass."
Lu Yuan was startled by Chu Feng's words.
Spirit grass?
That was one of the key herbs for him to lift the curse of the Black Demon Sect!
Unexpectedly, the alliance leader was also looking for this object.
"Lingxian grass can not only lift the curse, but also refine extremely rare elixirs to help martial arts masters improve their cultivation." Chu Feng explained.
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, thinking in his mind.
He originally ventured into the Ghost Valley in search of magic grass. Now it seems that not only him, but also Chu Feng has realized the importance of the Spiritual Immortal Grass.
"Leader, I have some clues about the fairy grass." Lu Yuan said after thinking for a moment.
Chu Feng's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "What clue?"
Lu Yuan briefly told Chu Feng about his previous adventures in the ancient tomb, including the test in the pool and the help of Taoist Priest Discord.
After hearing this, Chu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "If you can find the Spirit Immortal Grass again, it will not only help you lift the curse, but also increase our chances of winning against the Black Demon Sect."
Lu Yuan nodded and made a decision secretly in his heart.
Lingxiancao is not only related to his own life and death, but also related to the future of the entire martial arts world.
He must find it.
"Leader, I am willing to go to Ghost Valley again to look for the fairy grass." Lu Yuan said.
Chu Feng looked at Lu Yuan with a look of appreciation in his eyes.
"Good! Little friend Lu Yuan is indeed a responsible person." Chu Feng praised.
"However, Ghost Valley is not an ordinary place and is full of dangers. I will send a few capable disciples to accompany you."
Lu Yuan nodded. Although he didn't like to trouble others, this mission was indeed no small matter.
Soon after, Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er learned of the incident and hurried over.
"Brother Lu Yuan, we also want to go together!" Ye Ling'er said anxiously.
"Yes, Ghost Valley is so dangerous, we can't let you go alone." Chu Yao also said firmly.
Lu Yuan looked at them and felt warm in his heart.
Although he knew that this operation was extremely dangerous, he felt great comfort from Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao's concern.
"Okay, but you must obey my command and don't act without authorization." Lu Yuan finally agreed to their request.
A few days later, the group was ready and embarked on a journey to Ghost Valley.
Lu Yuan felt a little uneasy. He knew that this mission was not only related to his fate, but also related to the future of the entire martial arts world.
And the shadow of the Black Demon Sect hung over their heads like a ghost.
When Lu Yuan and his party were heading towards the Ghost Valley, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er followed closely behind Lu Yuan. Although they were a little nervous, they still stayed by his side unswervingly.
Along the way, they climbed over mountains and ridges, and the closer they got to Ghost Valley, the more desolate the surrounding scenery became, and there was a faint chill in the air.
"Brother Lu Yuan, it's so cold here." Ye Ling'er shrank slightly and frowned.
Lu Yuan turned around and comforted: "Don't worry, you'll get used to it in a while."
Chu Yao looked around with a bit of vigilance in her expression: "It doesn't feel right here. It seems like there are many pairs of eyes staring at us in the dark."
Lu Yuan nodded, aware of it in his heart.
The cold air in this area is obviously not a natural phenomenon, and is most likely related to some kind of formation or spiritual power.
He tightened the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and glanced around.
"Everyone, be careful. There are more dangers in Ghost Valley than you imagine."
The few people continued to move forward, and the cold atmosphere in the air became thicker and thicker.
Suddenly, there was a low humming sound coming from the front, as if some strange creature was breathing.
Chu Yao's eyes narrowed and she clenched the weapon in her hand: "There seems to be something in front of you."
Lu Yuan nodded and signaled everyone to stop.
He took a few steps closer to the front and carefully observed his surroundings. (End of chapter)
