During this process, Luo Chen and Yun Tu not only deepened their friendship, but also met many like-minded friends.
They found that despite coming from different sects and backgrounds, everyone could put aside prejudices and cooperate when facing a common enemy.
This power of unity made Luo Chen deeply gratified and filled him with hope for the future.
However, the peaceful days did not last long.
As the demonic beasts retreated, a more secretive and powerful force began to stir around North Hong City.
This force seemed to have countless connections with the demonic beasts but was more cunning and elusive.
Luo Chen and Yun Tu, by chance, discovered clues about this force.
They found that this force was secretly collecting a mysterious ore called "Netherworld Stone," which was said to be associated with an ancient evil spell capable of enhancing a cultivator's power but would gradually lead the user to lose their sanity and ultimately become a monster that only knows killing.
