Chapter 231 Daoist Successors, the Duan Family
Chapter 231 Daoist Successors, the Duan Family
Duan Shao smiled, his gaze falling on Luo Chen.
He then spoke again: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Duan Qingya, from the Great Xia... Daoist sect... from the Duan family..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen frowned and looked at Duan Qingya with surprise and shock in his eyes!
The Duan family...Taoist sect...
Luo Chen searched his memory and learned that the Duan family was a reclusive family in Yunkun County with great strength.
But the Taoist sect has been in decline for a long time, and there are very few people left.
And now he's actually run into it!
"Super Management Bureau... Double-flower Red Stick, Luo Chen!"
Luo Chen also gave a self-introduction, which made Duan Qingya pause for a moment. "Is your Super Management Bureau legitimate?"
He then said, "I've heard of Law Enforcement Master Luo's reputation for authority!"
"I recently heard that Enforcer Luo had come to Yunkun County, and I was wondering if I could meet him. Now I have!"
"Enforcer Luo truly lives up to his reputation!"
In fact, Duan Qingya already knew that the person in front of him was Luo Chen; he had seen Luo Chen's photo!
Luo Chen then asked, "What brings you here?"
Duan Qingya began, "Investigate the Qingyin Society..."
"I might as well tell Enforcer Luo that I learned by chance that the Qingyin Society wanted to set up an array here to control the fortune of Yunkun County and thus steal the destiny of the Great Xia Kingdom!"
"So, I came here to investigate, and I just happened to run into you, Enforcer Luo!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen was somewhat surprised; it turned out he had encountered a fellow traveler!
He glanced at Duan Qingya a few times and felt that this guy didn't seem like the type to lie.
However... you can know a person's face but not their heart, and Luo Chen dared not completely trust the person in front of him.
Duan Qingya looked at Luo Chen, knowing that Luo Chen would not believe him so easily, so he directly took out the Daoist sect token and the Duan family mark.
"Enforcer Luo, you don't need to doubt my identity, you can rest assured!"
"But... is Enforcement Officer Luo also here to investigate this matter?"
"If that's the case, then could we join forces and...?"
Duan Qingya's attitude was quite good, and he respected Luo Chen quite a bit.
Looking at the warrant, Luo Chen's worries largely disappeared.
"I did come here to investigate this matter!"
"Joining forces...that's a possibility!"
The two then reached an agreement, and Duan Qingya took Luo Chen away from the villa to a secluded place.
There is a path here that leads to undeveloped land.
"To be honest, I've actually been here to investigate once before, and I do know a few things!"
As Duan Qingya spoke, he led Luo Chen into a mountain forest, where the trees were lush and dense, blocking out the sun.
As the two walked among them, Luo Chen couldn't help but become more vigilant.
But after a short while, Duan Qingya stopped.
He took out a compass and began to search for directions.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen instantly scanned the area with his powerful divine soul.
In just a few breaths, it enveloped the entire Western Hills.
"Alright, stop fiddling with that thing!"
Luo Chen strode forward, and after many twists and turns, he soon arrived at a mountain hollow.
He then unleashed a sword aura from his fingertip, instantly destroying one of the array's core points.
There were some runes carved on the ground, which Luo Chen destroyed directly.
A plume of black smoke rose up.
Duan Qingya was dumbfounded. What kind of trick was this?
"Enforcer Luo, what are you doing..."
He was somewhat shocked. Last time, he had finally found some clues with the help of a compass, but he was discovered by the Qingyin Society.
After a fierce battle of three hundred rounds, he had no choice but to flee the area.
Luo Chen actually locked onto a key point of the array as soon as he arrived; that was incredibly fast!
"Basic skills are nothing to slack off on; anyone with hands can do it!"
Luo Chen said calmly.
Duan Qingya felt humiliated, and he raised his hands to look at them a few times.
If you have hands, then what are my hands for?
For showing off?
However, as the array's core was destroyed, the black mist dissipated, revealing a fierce monster and a puppet.
This fierce and cunning man's cultivation level is at least at the fifth level of the Profound Realm, and his puppet is even more exquisite, possessing the strength of the sixth level of the Profound Realm.
They locked onto Luo Chen in an instant and made their move!
"Enforcer Luo, be careful... these are all..."
He exclaimed in astonishment, but the next second, he saw Luo Chen flick his finger and shoot out sword energy.
It pierced through the fierce and monstrous head, then smashed through the puppet's body.
One move, and it broke through!
"This thing is a piece of cake!"
Duan Qingya: "..."
He was a little speechless.
He had previously been somewhat dismissive of Luo Chen's reputation.
After all, he was a successor of the Taoist school and a member of the Duan family, and had been hailed as a genius since childhood.
But now… he fell silent, wondering how someone could be so awesome.
He became somewhat inhuman in front of Luo Chen.
What's going on?
"Let's continue. There are many interconnected array points on this Western Mountain, and some areas are guarded by members of the Qingyin Society!"
"If we don't stop them now, their formation will really be complete!"
After Luo Chen finished speaking, he led Duan Qingya to hurry off to search.
They quickly destroyed more than a dozen key points of the formation.
Meanwhile, inside a cave somewhere in Xishan.
The flickering candlelight inside the cave added to its eerie atmosphere.
The cave floor was covered with a large number of strange runes, which were interconnected to form an array.
In the middle of the formation, a figure shrouded in a black robe suddenly opened his eyes!
Those eyes didn't look like human eyes; they looked more like those of a wild beast.
The black robe slipped off, revealing a face covered in pockmarks.
It appeared extremely ugly and terrifying.
"Every time it gets to a crucial moment, a mouse always comes to bother me!"
As she spoke, she shook the bell in her hand.
Six pale-faced figures soon emerged from the depths of the cave.
Their faces were bloodless, and their eyes were empty.
"Go kill those two little mice and bring their bodies back!"
After saying that, she shook the bell again, and the six people walked out numbly and quickly disappeared.
The pockmarked woman put down the bell in her hand and sneered, "As long as the formation succeeds, I can lock in the fortune of Yun Kun County and use it to refine an ancient evil spirit!"
"Thus, we can control Yunkun County and use it as a springboard to steal the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
"Back then, who in the Qingyin Society would dare to oppose me!"
As she spoke, a sinister smile appeared on her face.
Her appearance became increasingly ferocious, and then he quickly formed hand seals, soon creating a magic seal.
From the ground emerged countless ferocious spirits, powerful and monstrous, their bodies radiating nothing but violence.
Like a wild beast that has been suppressed for a long time, once released, it only wants to vent the anger in its heart.
But when these fierce monsters saw this woman, fear was revealed in their eyes!
It seems I've seen something terrifying.
"My vengeful spirit is about to be successfully created!"
"If I succeed, then... even if it's Luo Chen, what can he do? He still won't be my match..."
