Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood-Chapter 1383 - 679: Victory, Banquet!

They had just descended the mountain not long ago when they encountered such a turn of events, obviously things were not simple.

They decided to get closer to better understand the situation.

As they moved forward with the crowd, they finally arrived at the city gate.

The city gates were tightly shut, heavily guarded, with soldiers holding spears, ready and waiting, preventing the frantic populace from flooding in.

Not far from the gates, a middle-aged man in official robes was anxiously directing the soldiers to maintain order, his face filled with exhaustion and helplessness. Luo Chen and Liang Qi exchanged a glance and decided to step forward to inquire.

They made their way through the crowd and came before the official, politely bowing and asking, "Sir, what exactly has happened in Qingfeng City? Why are the people so panicked?"

The official looked up at them, noting their extraordinary attire and demeanor, secretly guessing their identities.

But at this moment, he didn’t have the leisure to concern himself with that, and simply sighed deeply, saying, "You may not know, brave ones, recently around Qingfeng City, a large number of Blood Moon Cult disciples have appeared, wantonly killing, making the populace panic-ridden, fleeing here in hopes of finding refuge within the city."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen and Liang Qi were taken aback.

Blood Moon Cult disciples wantonly killing, this is no small matter, should it spiral out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They quickly asked, "Does the city have any countermeasures?"

The official bitterly smiled, shaking his head, saying, "To be honest, our city’s military strength is limited, and the Blood Moon Cult acts mysteriously, unpredictably, we have yet to grasp their full measure."

"At present, all we can do is maintain order at the city gates to prevent chaos among the populace, while strengthening patrols within the city as a precaution."

Luo Chen and Liang Qi exchanged a heavy glance.

The emergence of the Blood Moon Cult has undoubtedly brought an unprecedented crisis to this land.

As disciples of Yunyin Mountain Village, they keenly understand the mission they bear to protect the people and uphold justice.

"Sir, the two of us are willing to lend a hand."

Luo Chen stepped forward, cupping his hands as he spoke.

The official, upon hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes, then he closely examined Luo Chen and Liang Qi.

He could see that although these two were young, they had an extraordinary air, their skills surely not weak.

In this moment of crisis, having such promising young talents willing to step forward, he was naturally more than willing.

"The willingness of the two brave ones to assist is indeed a blessing for Qingfeng City, please follow me, I will report this matter to the City Lord immediately."

After speaking, the official led Luo Chen and Liang Qi through the crowd, heading into the city.

Along the way, they saw more refugees, dressed in tattered clothes, faces filled with fear, eyes full of confusion about the future.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi’s resolve to help these people and eradicate the Blood Moon Cult grew even stronger.

Arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion, the official introduced Luo Chen and Liang Qi to the City Lord.

The City Lord was an elderly man around fifty, his demeanor stern, with a gaze that exuded a natural authority.

After listening to the official’s report, he examined Luo Chen and Liang Qi from head to toe, then slowly spoke, "The willingness of you two brave ones to assist Qingfeng City, I am very grateful, but the Blood Moon Cult’s forces are large and ruthless, do you have a response plan?"

Luo Chen and Liang Qi exchanged a glance, then Luo Chen stepped forward, cupping his hands as he spoke, "City Lord, though we are young, we have trained in Yunyin Mountain Village for quite some time, and have some understanding of swordsmanship and martial techniques. We are willing to lead the soldiers in the city, take initiative to strike, find the whereabouts of the Blood Moon Cult, and capture them all at once."

The City Lord, hearing this, a look of appreciation flashed through his eyes.

He nodded, saying, "Good, since the two brave ones have such determination, I will naturally support with all my might."

"I will immediately order the mobilization of the city’s soldiers, led by you two, to jointly oppose the Blood Moon Cult."

With the issuance of the City Lord’s order, Qingfeng City quickly entered a state of intense preparation for battle.

Luo Chen and Liang Qi were appointed as temporary commanders, and they began to eagerly prepare for the actions against the Blood Moon Cult.

First, they gathered the city’s generals and soldiers for a brief mobilization meeting.

Luo Chen stood on the high platform, his gaze like a torch, his voice firm and powerful, "All comrades, what we face is the ruthless and unfeeling Blood Moon Cult, they kill indiscriminately, commit all manner of evil."

"But we are guardians of justice, the reliance of the people!"

"Today, we will stand shoulder to shoulder, for the peace of Qingfeng City, for the lives of the innocent people, we vow to drive these cultists from our land!"

Inspired by Luo Chen’s words, the soldiers raised their arms high, morale surging.

Liang Qi, standing by, assisted with specific tactical deployments and personnel allocations.

They knew full well that mere passion was far from enough, requiring meticulous planning and coordinated efforts.

In the days that followed, Luo Chen and Liang Qi led the soldiers in a comprehensive search operation.

Based on clues provided by the populace, and the previous patterns of the Blood Moon Cult, they gradually narrowed the search area.

Simultaneously, they increased patrols within the city, ensuring the cultists couldn’t sneak into the city to wreak havoc.

However, the Blood Moon Cult’s strength was far greater than they imagined.

During a midnight raid, Luo Chen and Liang Qi encountered an ambush by the cultists.

With their extraordinary martial skills and coordinated cooperation, they managed to repel the enemy, though at a cost.
