Chapter 1058: Chapter 1055: Eliminate Evil and Promote Fame Chapter 1058: Chapter 1055: Eliminate Evil and Promote Fame “Those three people are monks from a sect in Black Cloud Valley, hundreds of miles away in Mount Qilian, and they covet the spiritual veins of our Spring and Autumn Pavilion, intending to claim them as their own. Tonight, they took advantage of our unpreparedness and launched a surprise attack on the Spring and Autumn Pavilion. Several of my disciples were killed, and if it weren't for Junior Brother Shen arriving in time, I'm afraid we would have really faced death today,” Qin Ming said.

As he spoke words of gratitude, he took the opportunity to scrutinize this Junior Brother Shen, but he could not discern the level of his strength at all, which made him all the more alarmed.

Shen Luo nodded slightly. The spirit veins of Qinghua Mountain were indeed desirable, and with Qin Ming and his companion's weak strength, they naturally became an easy target.

“When did this Black Cloud Valley sect emerge in Mount Qilian?” he then asked.

That year, when he was with the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, he had a good understanding of the nearby sects but had never heard of this Black Cloud Valley.

“Black Cloud Valley is a sect that has appeared only in recent years. It's quite large, and besides these three Qi Refining Cultivators, they have a large number of ordinary disciples. Additionally, the skills cultivated by Black Cloud Valley belong to the demonic path, and they do not emphasize cultivating one's moral character. They have attracted many bandits and thieves who commit crimes, and even gathered many death row prisoners through jailbreaks. They often commit acts of burning, killing, looting, and kidnapping women. The nearby sects and aristocratic families of cultivators are too angry to speak out, but now that their three leaders are dead, the other disciples, who are mostly ordinary people, will probably no longer be able to act as tyrannically as before,” Qin Ming said happily.

“Despite this, Black Cloud Valley has committed so many evil deeds and even dared to covet our Spring and Autumn Pavilion, killing our sect's disciples; their crimes are unforgivable!” Shen Luo said with a chilling tone.

Feeling Shen Luo's murderous intent, Qin Ming and his companion felt as if they had fallen into an ice pit, their expressions changing.

“Junior Brother Shen, are you going to?” Qin Ming hesitated to ask.

Without answering Qin Ming, Shen Luo slapped his Qiankun Bag on his waist.

A shadow flew out from it, it was Ghost General Zhao Feiji.

Although a hundred years had passed, the Ghost General had been hiding inside the Qiankun Bag all this time, so his cultivation level hadn't changed much and was still at the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

Qin Ming, who practiced the Pure Yang Sword Technique, was sensitive to ghostly Qi, and since the Ghost General's ability to conceal his presence was nowhere near as good as Shen Luo's, he faintly sensed the Ghost General's formidable cultivation level.

“This ghost seems even more terrifying than the Senior Ancestor of that year. Could it be a Ghost King of the Nascent Soul Stage?” The shock in Qin Ming's heart was immeasurable, yet he dared not ask directly.

“Brother Qin, lead the Ghost General to Mount Qilian and uproot Black Cloud Valley completely, leaving no one behind!” Shen Luo turned to Qin Ming.

“Yes,” Qin Ming quickly agreed, his attitude even more respectful than before.

If Shen Luo could command such a terrifying ghost, his strength must be even stronger, and Qin Ming dared not show any disrespect.

“Going to kill people? Great, leave it to me!” The Ghost General, upon hearing Shen Luo's words, showed a look of excitement on his face.

Having been confined in the Qiankun Bag for more than a hundred years, he was extremely frustrated and could not wait to grab Qin Ming. He then leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of black light shooting toward the distance, and disappeared into the far sky in the blink of an eye.

In the valley, only Shen Luo and the round-faced youth remained. The round-faced youth was very restrained, respectfully standing to the side with his head lowered.

“Are you a disciple of Qin Ming? What's your name?” Shen Luo looked at the round-faced youth.

“Disciple Zhou Fu, I pay my respects to Uncle Master Shen,” The round-faced youth was startled by Shen Luo's question and awkwardly gave a bow in a fluster.

“Zhou Fu? That's a good name.” Shen Luo smiled.

“It was Master who named me. I was an orphan and nearly starved to death when Master found me and raised me. He named me Zhou Fu, hoping that I would take on the responsibility of reviving the Spring and Autumn Pavilion,” Zhou Fu said, scratching his head and speaking hesitantly, seemingly not eloquent.

“Brother Qin has his heart set on it. Don't worry; that day will come very soon,” Shen Luo looked up at the sky and said slowly.

“Uncle Master, are you going to stay with the Spring and Autumn Pavilion?” Zhou Fu might look dull, but he was actually very astute and immediately asked.

“`

“Yes, I've returned this time specifically to revive our Pavilion,” Shen Luo said calmly.

He had ordered the Ghost General to wipe out Black Cloud Valley not only for revenge, but it was also related to the revival of the Pavilion. After all, the Spring and Autumn Pavilion had been silent for too long and needed a significant event to make its name known.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fu was overjoyed.

“You clean up around here; I will be heading back first,” Shen Luo told Zhou Fu before turning into a red light and flying toward the Spring and Autumn Pavilion.

Zhou Fu answered with utmost respect, his face brimming with happiness, as he headed towards the place where the black-faced elder and the other two had fallen.

There were quite a few good things on those corpses.

Shen Luo soon arrived back at the Spring and Autumn Pavilion and began to walk around the familiar places– the training grounds, his residence back then, and the area in the back mountain where he used to practice cultivation. Seeing the familiar places and recalling the past, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sentimentality.

Before he knew it, he had come to a valley in the back mountain of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, not far ahead was the place where he had found the jade pillow that year.

“Why would such a treasure as the jade pillow appear in the back mountain of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion? Could it have been left there by someone?” Shen Luo's gaze flickered, and he quickened his pace, soon arriving at the cave where the jade pillow had been hidden that year.

Back then, his cultivation level was weak, and his methods of investigation were basic. It was possible that more secrets lay undiscovered here.

Thinking of this, Shen Luo expanded his Divine Sense, inch by inch, exploring every detail of the cave. Soon, he discovered something; he felt a faint trace of spiritual power fluctuations at the top of the cave.

“There really is something!” He was instantly overjoyed and reached out into the void with his hand.

A burst of blue light shot out from his hand and entered the top of the cave.

With a loud “boom,” the stone wall crumbled, and the blue light flew back out, revealing a palm-sized slab of mysterious yellow jade.

The material of the jade plate appeared to be the same as the jade pillow, densely covered with many patterns and characters.

“This is…” Shen Luo carefully examined the contents of the jade plate.

The content recorded on the jade plate was exceedingly obscure and difficult to understand. Even with his current knowledge, he could barely comprehend it. Some of the special characters and rune patterns, he had seen in some Artifact Refining classics, seemed to be special characters on the path of Artifacts Refining.

“Could it be some kind of Artifact Refining secret technique?” Shen Luo speculated.

Unfortunately, he had no knowledge of Artifact Refining, nor did he have anyone around who was proficient in it.

“Speaking of Artifact Refining, I did meet an Artifact Refiner in Luo Star City back then, who was quite a nice person. Maybe I should have the Mirror Fiend disguise its appearance and ask that person for help,” he suddenly remembered someone, formed a hand seal, and summoned a flow of water, employing the Technique of Taming Beasts and Summoning Spirits.

From the Spirit Communicating Water Hole emerged a powerful Demon Qi, and a blue figure slipped out — it was the Mirror Fiend.

“Mirror Fiend greets Master.” The Mirror Fiend didn't seem to have changed much from before, but its strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the Mahayana Stage, and furthermore, the peak of the Early Mahayana Stage.

“Your cultivation has improved quite a bit,” Shen Luo sized up the Mirror Fiend and nodded.

“This is all thanks to the help from Master and Sister Tear Demon,” the Mirror Fiend said modestly.

“I only gave you a magical treasure; I didn't help with your cultivation. But never mind, I didn't summon you to talk about this. I have a task for you to do,” Shen Luo smiled and changed the subject.

“Please give your orders, Master,” the Mirror Fiend straightened up and responded respectfully.
