Chapter 1403: Chapter 689: Mysterious Man in Black? Map of the Ruins!
Luo Chen pondered for a moment; he initially intended to continue his journey, but the sincere look in the elder’s eyes softened his heart. He nodded, "Alright, I can stay in the town for a few days."
The elder was overjoyed and quickly called the townspeople to prepare the best guestroom and food to show their gratitude to Luo Chen.
Life in Qingyun Town was quite pleasant for Luo Chen.
During his time in Qingyun Town, Luo Chen’s spirit was cleansed once again.
He began to understand that cultivating the Sword Dao was not just about personal advancement in martial prowess but about contributing to the world and taking on responsibilities.
Every time he helped others, it deepened his understanding of the Sword Dao.
However, the good times didn’t last long, and the peaceful life in Qingyun Town was soon disrupted.
This time, it wasn’t mountain bandits but a group of mysterious black-clad people who suddenly appeared in the town. They seemed to be searching for something or someone.
While strolling in town, Luo Chen noticed these uninvited guests.
Their actions were secretive and organized, clearly not ordinary bandits or thugs.
Luo Chen decided to observe them quietly to see what the black-clad people’s true intentions were.
As night fell, Luo Chen silently followed one of the black-clad individuals to a dense forest outside the town.
There, he overheard the conversation among the black-clad people.
"Is the information accurate? Is he really here?"
A deep voice asked.
"Absolutely, our informant wouldn’t be wrong."
Another voice replied.
"Good, we must not let him escape this time. Our superiors are very interested in him. We have to bring him back."
Luo Chen wasn’t quite sure who this "he" they were referring to was.
But he felt that perhaps he should get involved in this matter.
Hidden in the shadows of the dense forest, Luo Chen’s breath blended with the night wind, almost silent.
He listened intently, trying to gather more clues from the black-clad people’s conversation.
However, the black-clad individuals seemed to be tight-lipped about their target, revealing only the mystery and importance of the person’s identity in scattered words.
"We must act cautiously; this person is not an ordinary individual."
The same deep voice sounded again, carrying a hint of warning.
"Don’t worry, we came prepared, and this operation must not fail."
Another voice replied, with a tone of confidence.
Luo Chen knew he couldn’t let these black-clad people succeed.
He decided to return to the town, warn the townspeople of potential danger, and search for possible clues to understand who the black-clad people were searching for.
Back in Qingyun Town, Luo Chen immediately found the elder and relayed the conversation he had overheard.
The elder listened, his expression turning grave. "It seems our town may harbor someone they want. We must be vigilant as well as find this person to protect them from the black-clad people’s harm."
Luo Chen nodded, "I agree. We need to act fast, but also carefully, to avoid unnecessary panic."
Thus, Luo Chen and the elder began secretly investigating in the town, trying to find the target the black-clad people were seeking.
They questioned the townspeople and checked the records of recent visitors but found nothing suspicious for a while.
Just as they were about to give up, a young girl approached Luo Chen.
She looked a bit nervous, but her eyes were resolute.
"I might know who you’re looking for,"
the girl whispered.
Luo Chen and the elder exchanged a hopeful glance.
"Please speak,"
Luo Chen encouraged.
The girl took a deep breath and began to recount, "A few days ago, a stranger came to our town. He looked very tired and was injured."
"He told me he was being chased by some unidentified people. I hid him in the cellar of my house."
Hearing this, Luo Chen and the elder both realized that this stranger might be the target the black-clad people were seeking.
They decided to meet this stranger immediately to understand the situation.
Led by the girl, Luo Chen and the elder arrived at the girl’s house.
The girl carefully opened the cellar door, revealing a man with a weary appearance but resolute eyes.
Seeing Luo Chen and the elder, a hint of wariness flashed in the man’s eyes, but he quickly relaxed.
"Who are you?"
The man asked.
Luo Chen briefly introduced himself and the elder, then directly asked, "Why are you being hunted?"
The man was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "It’s nothing more than for personal profit..."
His voice was somewhat hoarse.
Yet, his eyes were full of a strong will to survive.
"Are you an Immortal Cultivator?"
"If so, if I tell you what I discovered, can you kill those people and save my life?"
The man’s words surprised everyone except Luo Chen.
The term ’Cultivator’ is rarely heard in small places like Qingyun Town, and it’s usually associated with the legendary, omnipotent Immortals.
"Yes, I am a Cultivator."
Luo Chen’s answer gave everyone present an inexplicable sense of reassurance.
The identity of a Cultivator seemed to represent power and hope in their hearts.
The man nodded, appearing unsurprised by Luo Chen’s answer.
He took a deep breath and began to tell his story.
"My name is Su Bai, and I am a Loose Cultivator."
"I unintentionally discovered an ancient Immortal Cultivation relic, inside which are hidden powerful cultivation resources."
