Chapter 1721: Chapter 848: Mysterious Passage, Blood Soul Pearl?
"It’s me, I’m still alive." Mo Han stepped closer, his body covered in scars, his clothes ragged, but his eyes remained bright, sparkling with a steadfast light.
Luo Chen rushed forward and hugged Mo Han tightly, too excited to speak.
"It’s wonderful, you’re alive, really wonderful!" Luo Chen’s voice choked with emotion, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"I’m okay, see, I’m fine?" Mo Han patted Luo Chen’s back, comforting him, "But look at yourself, how did you get so battered?"
"Don’t bring it up, it’s for avenging you." Luo Chen released Mo Han and wiped his tears, "By the way, your uncle? How is he?"
Mo Han’s eyes darkened at the mention, and he lowered his head, his voice grave: "My uncle... he sacrificed himself to save me."
Luo Chen was silent, unsure of how to comfort Mo Han, only patting his shoulder quietly.
"By the way, why are you here?" Mo Han asked, "Weren’t you at the Alliance Headquarters?"
"After hearing the news about you and your uncle’s sacrifice, we were devastated and vowed to avenge you." Luo Chen said, "We devised a plan to dismantle Blood Ghost Sect’s outer strongholds one by one, weakening them, and then concentrate our forces for a final assault on their lair."
"I see." Mo Han nodded, "How is it going?"
"Fairly well, we’ve captured several strongholds already." Luo Chen said, "However, Blood Ghost Sect’s strength is greater than we imagined, so we need to be more cautious."
"I have a way to completely destroy Blood Ghost Sect." Mo Han suddenly said, his eyes flashing with hatred.
"What way?" Luo Chen and Qing Shuang asked in unison.
"I need your help." Mo Han said, "We must find that Crystal Ball, and then..."
Mo Han recounted his experiences in the Blood Ghost Sect’s forbidden area, and the secret of the Crystal Ball, to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
"You mean, that Crystal Ball possesses world-shattering power, capable of completely eliminating Blood Ghost Sect?" Luo Chen was shocked upon hearing.
"That’s right." Mo Han nodded, "But, I detonated the Crystal Ball to perish together with Blood Ghost Sect’s elders, yet unexpectedly arrived in the Tianyuan Empire, and learned the curse to activate the Crystal Ball. Now we must find a way back to the explosion site, perhaps the Crystal Ball is still there."
"That’s too incredible!" Qing Shuang said, "But since there’s a possibility, we must give it a try!"
"But how can we find that Crystal Ball?" Luo Chen asked, "Even if we find it, how do we use it?"
"I don’t know either." Mo Han shook his head, "But I believe that as long as we work together, we can definitely find a way."
"Alright, then let’s strive together!" Luo Chen said, "For Mo Han’s uncle, for those innocent people, we must completely extinguish Blood Ghost Sect!"
"Mm!" Mo Han and Qing Shuang nodded heavily, their eyes brimming with determination and hope.
The three decided to set off immediately, heading to Blood Ghost Sect’s lair where Mo Han mentioned.
"Wait, there’s one more thing." Mo Han suddenly remembered, "I discovered some clues about Blood Ghost Sect’s ultimate secret in the Tianyuan Empire Imperial Palace, which might be useful."
"What clues?" Luo Chen asked.
"A note saying ’Blood Ghost Sect’s ultimate secret is hidden in the Tianyuan Empire Imperial Palace.’" Mo Han said, "Also, I found an informant, but he was poisoned with some strange toxin."
"The Tianyuan Empire Imperial Palace?" Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged surprised glances, "What’s going on? How does Blood Ghost Sect’s ultimate secret tie to the Tianyuan Empire Imperial Palace?"
"I don’t know either." Mo Han shook his head, "But I feel this is not simple, we must investigate thoroughly."
"But our priority now is to eliminate Blood Ghost Sect, how can we have time to investigate this?" Luo Chen said.
"We can split up." Qing Shuang suggested, "Luo Chen, you and Mo Han go to find the Crystal Ball, I’ll investigate this matter in the Tianyuan Empire Imperial Palace. We’ll stay in touch and exchange information anytime."
"That works too." Luo Chen nodded, "Then let’s do that. Qing Shuang, you must be careful, the Tianyuan Empire Imperial Palace is no ordinary place."
"Don’t worry, I’ll protect myself well." Qing Shuang smiled slightly, "You guys be careful too, Blood Ghost Sect’s lair is certainly filled with dangers."
"Mm." Mo Han and Luo Chen nodded.
The night was dark as ink, the wilderness silent.
Luo Chen watched Qing Shuang’s resolute figure fade into the path leading towards the Tianyuan Empire, a hint of worry rising in his heart.
He knew Qing Shuang’s strength, and was aware of her calmness and wisdom, but the Tianyuan Empire Imperial Palace, just hearing the name, is known not to be a good place.
"Don’t worry, Qing Shuang will be fine." Mo Han’s voice echoed by his ear, carrying a hint of fatigue, yet also firm.
Luo Chen turned to look at Mo Han, his wounds not fully healed, face slightly pale, but the flame of revenge in his eyes burned even stronger.
"I hope so." Luo Chen sighed lightly, then composed himself, turning his gaze toward Blood Ghost Sect’s lair, "Let’s set out too, we can’t let Qing Shuang fight alone."
Mo Han nodded, and the two didn’t delay any longer, identifying the direction, and then rushed toward the valley where Blood Ghost Sect’s lair was remembered to be.
