NOVEL WEB Chapter 774: Making an End
"These are records left by the Sect's Elders over the generations, perhaps we can find some clues about the Netherworld Valley ritual." Hong Liu said.
Luo Chen, Hong Ling, and Qing Shuang began to peruse the Ancient Tomes, while Hong Liu helped to explain some of the difficult ancient texts from the side.
After some searching, they finally discovered some key information.
It turns out that the resurrection ritual of the Master of Netherworld Valley requires a mysterious plant called the "Netherworld Flower," which only grows in specific environments and blooms once every few decades.
"Looks like we have to find this Netherworld Flower." Luo Chen said solemnly.
Hong Liu nodded, "I know a place where it might grow."
Thus, the four of them embarked on the journey again, heading to the place Hong Liu mentioned.
After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at a deep valley.
The valley was filled with an eerie aura, and the surrounding plants seemed unusually dark.
Luo Chen and the others cautiously ventured deeper into the valley and finally discovered a faintly glowing plant in a concealed corner.
"This is the Netherworld Flower!" Hong Liu whispered.
Luo Chen carefully observed and found a faint Barrier surrounding the Netherworld Flower.
"It seems someone has already placed protective measures here."
Qing Shuang stepped forward, attempting to break the Barrier.
After some effort, the Barrier was finally dissolved.
Luo Chen cautiously picked the Netherworld Flower, preparing to take it back to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
At that moment, a chilling laugh suddenly echoed through the valley.
"Did you think this would stop me? The resurrection of the Master of Netherworld Valley is unstoppable!"
The four of them looked up to see a figure in black standing not far away, his eyes filled with madness and resentment.
"Who are you?" Luo Chen asked warily.
The figure in black sneered, "I am a loyal servant of the Master of Netherworld Valley. You destroyed the ritual, but I still have a way to bring him back!"
Before he finished speaking, the man in black launched an attack.
Luo Chen and the others immediately confronted him, but the strength of the man in black was unexpectedly formidable, and the four soon found themselves in a tough battle.
During the battle, Luo Chen noticed that the man in black's power seemed linked to the Netherworld Flower.
He thought quickly and decided to use the Netherworld Flower against the man in black.
Luo Chen raised the Netherworld Flower high and began chanting a Spell.
The glow emitted by the Netherworld Flower grew stronger, eventually transforming into a beam of light shooting straight at the man in black.
The man in black let out a miserable scream; his body began to disintegrate, finally turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating into the air.
Luo Chen and the others breathed a sigh of relief, knowing they had truly solved the problem this time.
As Luo Chen looked at the place where the man in black vanished, he couldn't completely relax.
Although the resurrection ritual of the Master of Netherworld Valley was halted, the appearance of this servant meant unknown dangers might still lurk.
Hong Liu looked at Luo Chen with a hint of admiration in her eyes, "Luo Chen, your power is truly formidable, even capable of defeating the servant of the Master of Netherworld Valley."
Luo Chen smiled slightly, but his gaze remained vigilant, scanning the surroundings, "We can't let our guard down. Although we stopped the Master of Netherworld Valley, his power might have already permeated every corner of this land."
Hong Ling and Qing Shuang nodded in agreement, knowing Luo Chen spoke the truth.
The four decided to return first to Hong Liu's Sect, where despite the damage, could serve as a temporary base.
Back at the Sect, Luo Chen began to study the Netherworld Flower closely.
He discovered that the flower not only could be used against the servants of the Master of Netherworld Valley but also contained a strange energy capable of purifying polluted areas.
"Luo Chen, what do you plan to do?" Hong Ling asked curiously.
"I want to use the power of the Netherworld Flower to purify this land, at least to restore the environment of the Red Willow Sect." Luo Chen replied.
Upon hearing this, Hong Liu showed a hint of gratitude, "If it really can be done, that would be wonderful, the Sect Disciples would be very happy if they could return."
Luo Chen nodded and began to prepare for the purification ritual.
He placed the Netherworld Flower at the center of the Sect and used a special Spell to guide its power to diffuse.
As the glow from the Netherworld Flower gradually enveloped the entire Sect, waves of cold aura were dispelled, replaced by a fresh and pure atmosphere.
Hong Liu and her Sect Disciples watched this scene, their hearts filled with hope.
They began to clear the ruins and rebuild their home.
Luo Chen and his companions also joined in to help rebuild the Sect.
During the rebuilding process, the relationship between Luo Chen and Hong Liu gradually deepened.
They often discussed matters concerning the Netherworld Valley and how to prevent similar disasters from happening again.
"Luo Chen, have you ever thought about what we would do if the Master of Netherworld Valley truly resurrects again?" Hong Liu asked during a casual conversation.
Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "If the Master of Netherworld Valley really revives again, the first thing we need is more allies. Our strength alone is not enough; we need to unite other Sects and forces to collectively combat this formidable enemy."
Hong Liu nodded, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, "You're right, we need more power, but will the other Sects believe us? To them, the existence of the Master of Netherworld Valley might be just a legend."
"Then it will be up to us to prove it." Luo Chen said firmly, "We can start by using the power of the Netherworld Flower to purify more polluted areas, letting other Sects see our results, so they will believe our warning."
