Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

Along the way, they exchanged ideas, trying to deduce more about the mysterious organization from the known clues.

"What do you think is the true purpose of this organization?" Qing Shuang asked, with a curious sparkle in her eyes.

"From their actions, they seem to be seeking some kind of power, perhaps to control minds, or maybe for some greater ambition." Luo Chen replied, his voice sounding somewhat muffled in the wind.

Feng Qing added, "We cannot rule out the possibility that they might have some connection with the Thousand Faces Master, perhaps they are all part of this organization."

As they discussed, the sky gradually brightened.

They arrived at a small town and decided to take a rest there.

The atmosphere in the town seemed unusually calm as if it was out of place with the crisis they faced.

In a small tavern, the three of them sat around a wooden table and ordered some simple food.

Luo Chen's gaze swept across every corner of the tavern from time to time, wary of possible dangers.

"Don't you feel that since we started investigating this organization, everything has become a bit too quiet?" Qing Shuang whispered, her intuition telling her that things would not be so simple.

"Perhaps they are secretly observing us, waiting for the best moment." Feng Qing replied, his hand unconsciously touching the hilt of his sword.

Luo Chen nodded, his expression serious.

"We cannot afford to be careless, from now on, we must be even more cautious."

After resting in the town for a while, they continued on their journey to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

As they gradually approached their destination, the surrounding scenery became increasingly desolate.

The headquarters of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was located atop a steep peak, surrounded by dense clouds as if isolated from the world.

By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, the sky was already getting dark.

Luo Chen looked up at the winding mountain path, feeling a bit heavy-hearted.

"We must be careful, the mountain path is treacherous, and there might be people from the Thousand Faces Master."

Qing Shuang and Feng Qing also felt the pressure, but they did not retreat.

The three of them began to slowly advance along the mountain path, each step taken with caution.

Just as they were about to reach midway up the mountain, suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps erupted around them.

"Who is it?" Luo Chen shouted loudly, his hand already gripping his sword hilt tightly.

From the darkness, a group of men dressed in black slowly emerged, holding weapons, their gazes cold.

"You can advance no further." The leading man in black said coldly.

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Feng Qing exchanged a glance, knowing that a battle was inevitable.

"Then let's see what you're capable of." Luo Chen sneered, drawing his sword.

The battle was imminent, and the three engaged in a fierce clash with the men in black.

Sword light flashed, talismans flew, the battle was exceptionally fierce.

Relying on his extraordinary swordsmanship, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang with her agile movement technique and precise talisman attacks, and Feng Qing with his powerful strength and determined will fought a life-and-death battle with the men in black.

After a hard-fought struggle, they finally repelled the men in black, but all three suffered varying degrees of injuries.

They knew this was just the beginning; greater challenges awaited them ahead.

"We must continue forward." Luo Chen declared determinedly, although his voice was slightly weak.

Qing Shuang and Feng Qing nodded, supporting each other as they continued towards the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

The path became increasingly steep, yet their resolve grew ever firmer.

Finally, after a long climb, they arrived at the gates of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Standing before the gate were two guards dressed in Taoist Robes, their gazes vigilant, but upon seeing the scars and weary expressions on Luo Chen and the others, their expressions softened a bit.

"Who are you? What brings you here?" one of the guards asked.

Luo Chen stepped forward, taking out a token from his bosom, a symbol given to them by Elder He Tu.

"We are envoys from a distant town, with important information to report to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

The guard took the token, inspected it carefully, then nodded.

"Please, follow me, I'll take you to see the Pavilion Master."

They followed the guard into the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, a place filled with an aura of mystery.

The walls all around were engraved with ancient runes, and a faint fragrance lingered in the air.

They passed through long corridors, eventually reaching a spacious hall.

At the center of the hall, an old man with white hair was seated behind a massive desk, his gaze deep as if able to see through the hearts of men.

"I am the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, what information do you have for me?"

Luo Chen stepped forward, recounting everything they had experienced, as well as the intelligence they had uncovered about the mysterious organization, in full detail to the Pavilion Master.

After listening, the Pavilion Master frowned, a trace of concern flashing in his eyes.

"You have done well, this information is crucial for us, we will act immediately to thwart the organization's scheme."

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Feng Qing exchanged a glance, knowing their mission was complete.

However, they also realized this struggle had only just begun.

"We will stay here to assist you." Luo Chen stated firmly.

The Pavilion Master nodded, a trace of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Very well, we need brave and steadfast people like you."

The Pavilion Master's tone carried a hint of gravity, he rose, walking slowly to a side of the hall where a large sand table was placed, depicting the continent's geography and the distribution of various forces.

"The organization you exposed has ambitions far greater than we imagined." The Pavilion Master's voice echoed in the spacious hall, "They not only seek to control minds but also aim to overturn the entire continent's order."

Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Feng Qing stood before the sand table, carefully examining each detail, trying to find more clues.

"Pavilion Master, what do you think we should do next?" Qing Shuang asked, a hint of determination in her eyes.

The Pavilion Master pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "First, we need to identify the true core of this organization. Although they operate secretly, they will always leave threads and traces. Your task is to investigate deeply and find their stronghold."

"We understand." Luo Chen nodded in understanding, "We will start from the identity of the men in black, they couldn't have appeared out of nowhere."

"Furthermore." The Pavilion Master continued, "You must be wary as the organization may have experts skilled in various tricks and illusion techniques, you must remain vigilant."

Feng Qing gripped his sword hilt tightly, a trace of resolve flashing in his eyes, "We won't let them succeed."

In the following days, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Feng Qing began investigating the origins of the men in black with the help of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

They delved into numerous ancient tomes, inquired with many people in the martial world, and even personally visited some suspicious locations for investigation.

By chance, they discovered an abandoned manor, scattered with relics from the men in black.

Through these relics, they uncovered a crucial clue, a mysterious symbol that seemed closely linked to the men in black.

"I've seen this symbol somewhere." Qing Shuang frowned, trying hard to recall.

"I also find it familiar." Luo Chen echoed.

Feng Qing pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom, revealing a pattern almost identical to the symbol found in the manor.

"We found this on the men in black." Feng Qing explained.

The three exchanged a glance, knowing that this symbol might be the key to the core of the men in black's organization.

Thus, they began to trace this symbol to a remote small town.
