NOVEL WEB Chapter 644: Master of the Black Shadow Tower! _2
Luo Xuan and others took the opportunity to rush into the manor and engaged in a fierce battle with the remaining forces of the City Lord's Mansion.
After a fierce battle, Luo Xuan and the others finally wiped out the remaining forces of the City Lord's Mansion, successfully occupying the manor.
They searched the entire manor but found nothing of value.
Luo Xuan furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat puzzled.
At this moment, a disciple hurried over to report to Luo Xuan: "Family Head, we discovered a secret passage in the manor's basement."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan immediately led everyone to the basement.
The basement was dim and damp, with a musty smell lingering in the air.
Everyone cautiously advanced and finally arrived at a Stone Gate.
The Stone Gate was tightly closed, with strange runes carved upon it.
Luo Xuan carefully observed these runes, and suddenly a gleam appeared in his eyes.
He gently pressed his hand against the Stone Gate, and it rumbled open, revealing a pitch-black hole.
Everyone gathered around, staring at the hole with curiosity and anticipation in their hearts.
Luo Xuan took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Let's go inside and take a look."
Hearing this, everyone nodded and cautiously followed Luo Xuan into the hole.
Inside the hole was a narrow passage, with glowing Crystal Stones embedded in the walls, illuminating the whole corridor.
Everyone walked along the passage, and after an unknown length of time, they finally arrived at a spacious hall.
In the center of the hall stood a large stone platform, upon which lay a black box.
The box exuded an eerie aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
Luo Xuan stepped forward and carefully examined the box.
He suddenly discovered the same runes on the box as those on the Stone Gate.
Luo Xuan was moved, reaching out to gently press the box.
The box rumbled open, and a powerful aura emanated from it, causing everyone to feel palpitations.
Everyone retreated, except for Luo Xuan, who stood his ground, his eyes fixed on the contents of the box.
Inside the box lay a black book, with the words "Shadow Secret Manual" written on the cover.
Luo Xuan was moved and reached out to take the book.
He opened the book, only to see pages filled with densely packed strange runes and spells.
Luo Xuan was astounded; he never expected such a bizarre secret manual to be hidden in this box.
At that moment, a powerful force suddenly surged from the book, rushing into Luo Xuan's mind.
Luo Xuan felt a piercing pain in his mind, as if something was trying to invade his thoughts.
He was terrified and hurriedly used his cultivation to resist this force.
However, this force was exceptionally strong, far beyond Luo Xuan's ability to resist.
Luo Xuan felt a roaring in his mind and then lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he found himself back in the Luo Family branch's ancestral land.
He realized he was lying on a bed, surrounded by several Elders and elite disciples of the Luo Family branch.
Luo Xuan struggled to sit up, feeling a chaotic sensation in his mind, as if something was constantly stirring his thoughts.
He looked up at everyone, noticing the concern on their faces.
Luo Qianqiu stepped forward, asking with concern, "Xuan'er, are you alright? Is everything okay?"
Luo Xuan shook his head, trying to calm himself, and then asked, "How long was I unconscious?"
Luo Qianqiu replied, "You were unconscious for three whole days and nights."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan was shocked; he didn't expect to have been unconscious for so long.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the confusion in his mind, and then asked, "The thing I saw in that box, do you know what it is?"
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of shock.
Luo Qianqiu said solemnly, "The thing in the box is the legendary Shadow Secret Manual."
Luo Xuan was moved and asked, "Shadow Secret Manual? What is that?"
Luo Qianqiu explained, "The Shadow Secret Manual is a mysterious secret manual, said to contain the power to control shadows."
"This power is very strong but also extremely dangerous; any mistake can lead to an irreversible disaster."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He never expected to casually touch such a bizarre secret manual and, even more so, didn't expect it to have such severe consequences for him.
Luo Xuan took a deep breath to calm himself, then asked, "So, what should we do now?"
Luo Qianqiu pondered for a moment and then said, "Since you have obtained the Shadow Secret Manual, we must make good use of it, but before using it, we must first understand its true purpose and dangers."
Luo Xuan nodded in agreement.
He knew this was an extremely dangerous task, where any mistake could lead to an irreversible disaster.
However, he also knew that if they could successfully utilize the Shadow Secret Manual, they might be able to defeat the Black Shadow Tower and gain more space for the Luo Family branch to survive.
So, Luo Xuan began to study the Shadow Secret Manual.
He spent an entire month barely mastering some of its basic knowledge and techniques.
He discovered that the Shadow Secret Manual indeed wielded a very powerful force, enabling its wielder to control shadows and use them for one's purposes.
But this power was also very dangerous; any carelessness could lead to loss of control or even backlash.
Luo Xuan was deeply aware of the dangers, so he did not rush but continued his in-depth study, constantly exploring its secrets.
During this process, Luo Xuan encountered many difficulties and challenges.
Sometimes, he pondered over a problem, unable to sleep all night.
Other times, he was so flustered by a difficult problem that he even considered giving up.
However, he never abandoned his beliefs and determination, trusting that with continuous effort, he could grasp the true power of the Shadow Secret Manual.
Finally, after countless attempts and explorations, Luo Xuan mastered the true power of the Shadow Secret Manual.
He found he could manipulate shadows at will, transforming them into various forms to attack enemies or protect himself.
This power was very strong, filling him with immense excitement and pride.
However, Luo Xuan also fully comprehended the dangers of such power.
He knew that without proper control, he could fall into an irreversible disaster.
Thus, he did not hastily use this power but continued his in-depth research while constantly improving his cultivation and control skills.
Meanwhile, under Luo Xuan's leadership, the Luo Family branch gradually grew stronger.
They utilized the power of the Shadow Secret Manual to continuously strike at the remaining forces of the City Lord's Mansion and the Black Shadow Tower, gaining more space for survival.
During this time, the disciples of the Luo Family branch also continued to grow and progress, becoming an indomitable force in White Crane City.
However, the Black Shadow Tower did not give up on suppressing and persecuting the Luo Family branch.
They continuously sent experts to attack the Luo Family branch's ancestral land, attempting to destroy its foundation.
But under Luo Xuan's leadership, the disciples of the Luo Family branch repeatedly repelled the Black Shadow Tower's attacks, safeguarding their homeland.
Finally, one day, the Black Shadow Tower sent their strongest expert—the tower master of the Black Shadow Tower—to attack the Luo Family branch's ancestral land.
...
In White Crane City, within the Luo Family branch's ancestral land.
Luo Xuan, Luo Yao.
And Luo Qianqiu.
These three stood silently outside the Luo Family branch's ancestral land.
Their expressions were somewhat solemn and grave as they looked in a certain direction.
"Who is that?"
"The aura around him...it's terrifying."
Coming from the Luo Family headquarters in Qingshi City, Luo Yao couldn't help but say softly, as he watched the figure gradually approaching.
"That should be the tower master of the Black Shadow Tower..."
Similarly, Elder Luo Qianqiu, coming from the Luo Family headquarters, softly explained.
"The tower master of the Black Shadow Tower?"
Luo Yao furrowed his brows, evidently familiar with this name.
