NOVEL WEB Chapter 641: Obtaining the Third Heart of Shadow!
Luo Yao's heart jolted, he immediately realized that this shadow was sent by the Shadow Organization to find the Heart of Shadow.
He swiftly rushed towards the shadow, ready to take back the Heart of Shadow.
However, the shadow suddenly let out a cold laugh, then disappeared into the darkness.
When Luo Yao and his companions chased after it, they had already lost its trace.
Luo Yao was filled with regret, he knew that this time they had let the Shadow Organization succeed again.
He took a deep breath, then led everyone to quickly leave the temple.
When they returned to Qingshi City, Luo Ping learned about what had happened.
He said in a deep voice, "This time we were careless; we didn't expect the people from the Shadow Organization to be so cunning. However, we cannot be discouraged. We must continue to strengthen the family's defense and training to deal with potential crises."
Luo Yao nodded, he deeply understood the lesson of this failure.
He vowed to reclaim the Heart of Shadow and protect the safety of the family.
In the days that followed, Luo Yao and the family members strengthened the family's defenses and training.
They were always ready to respond to reprisals and attacks from the Shadow Organization.
At the same time, they also actively searched for the whereabouts of the Heart of Shadow, hoping to retrieve it soon.
However, things were not as simple as they imagined.
The people from the Shadow Organization seemed to have vanished, never to be seen again.
And the whereabouts of that Heart of Shadow became a mystery that Luo Yao and the others couldn't solve.
Just as they were feeling confused and helpless, a mysterious man suddenly appeared, offering them a clue about the Heart of Shadow.
This mysterious man claimed to be a traitor of the Shadow Organization, having decided to betray them due to his dissatisfaction with the organization's actions.
Thus, to learn some secret information.
Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family in Qingshi City, went to see the one who claimed to be a traitor of the Shadow Organization.
...
Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
In a hidden room.
Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, was sitting quietly in the main seat.
Luo Yao was silently standing beside Luo Ping.
The one who claimed to be a traitor of the Shadow Organization was standing in the center of the room.
"Tell us, what do you know?"
"And, why did you choose to betray the Shadow Organization?"
Luo Ping's voice was calm yet authoritative, his gaze sharp, staring straight at the mysterious man.
The mysterious man slightly lowered his head, seeming somewhat in awe of Luo Ping's authority.
He took a deep breath, then slowly spoke, "My name is Night Falcon, I was once a core member of the Shadow Organization. I betrayed them because I discovered their true purpose behind it, which far surpassed my moral boundaries."
Luo Ping and Luo Yao exchanged a glance, both saw the shock and curiosity in each other's eyes.
They knew that Night Falcon's words might unveil a tremendous secret.
Night Falcon continued, "The Shadow Organization has always been searching for the Heart of Shadow. Their purpose is not to strengthen their own power, but to control the entire continent's Power of Shadow. Once they obtain enough Heart of Shadow, they can use this power to dictate the fate of the entire continent."
Luo Yao couldn't help but interrupt, "Then why do they want to do this?"
Night Falcon raised his head, his eyes flickering with complex emotions, "Because they want revenge. The founder of the Shadow Organization was once a man betrayed by countless cultivators across the Xuanyuan Continent. He was severely injured, nearly losing his life, but in the brink of death, he comprehended the true essence of the Power of Shadow, vowing to make the entire continent taste the bitterness of betrayal."
Luo Ping and Luo Yao were both so shocked by this astonishing secret that they were speechless.
They never imagined that such deep-seated hatred and ambition were hidden behind the Shadow Organization.
Luo Ping said in a deep voice, "Then why are you telling us this? You have betrayed the Shadow Organization, and they will not let you go."
Night Falcon smiled faintly, "I am already prepared. The reason I am telling you is because I hope you can stop the Shadow Organization's plan. The Heart of Shadow is the source of the Power of Shadow. Once it's in their grasp, the entire continent will be plunged into darkness. I can't bear to see such a thing happen."
Luo Yao clenched his fist, his gaze firm, "We will definitely stop them, but how can we find the remaining Heart of Shadow?"
Night Falcon nodded slightly, "I know the whereabouts of one Heart of Shadow. It is hidden in an ancient temple, located at the southernmost point of the continent, known as the 'Temple of Shadow.'
Luo Ping pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Very well, we will act as soon as possible. Night Falcon, thank you for the information, but you must also be careful of the Shadow Organization's revenge."
Night Falcon smiled faintly and turned to leave the room.
Luo Ping and Luo Yao exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination and resolve in each other's eyes.
In the days that followed, the Luo Family began preparations for the mission to the Temple of Shadow in full force.
They strengthened the family's defenses, while also conducting rigorous training for the family members.
Luo Yao personally selected an elite team, ready to head to the Temple of Shadow to search for the hidden Heart of Shadow.
Finally, one night, Luo Yao led his team quietly out of Qingshi City.
The moonlight was hazy, stars dotted the sky, and Luo Yao and his party quietly traversed through the night, heading towards the Temple of Shadow.
They walked on the rugged mountain path; the silent night was only punctuated by their footsteps and the occasional chirping of insects.
