One person: I am Lin Bai, good at using a hundred skills!

“I brought all the people back.”

He nodded to Chen Duo and Bai Xiao.

“Thank you for your hard work on the road.”

Chen Duo hurriedly went forward and asked them to sit down.

"Tell me, what did you find out?"

Bai Xiao went straight to the point.

"You really guessed it right!"

Old Xiao took a breath, but his eyes couldn't hide his excitement.

"We inquired in the nearby villages and sects, and almost everyone mentioned the place name 'Netherworld Valley'."

He lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.

"Also, it is said that recently, Demon Mountain has been shrouded in a strange black fog, which is very gloomy."

"There are often terrifying howling sounds coming from the mountains and forests, like the howling of ghosts and wolves."

"This... isn't this the characteristic of the Soul Devouring Sect!"

Chen Duo and Bai Xiao looked at each other and were both shocked.

"It looks like we've finally found the right place."

Lao Xiao nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Let's go and report to Lin Bai!"

.....

"So, based on the clues we have so far, the Soul Devouring Sect's lair is most likely in the Nether Valley of the Demon Mountain?"

Lin Bai sat at the desk, his eyes slightly closed, and asked in a deep voice.

"exactly."

Lao Xiao answered respectfully.

Chen Duo and Bai Xiao also nodded frequently.

“Good, very good!”

Lin Bai's eyes flashed and he slowly stood up.

"Thank you for your hard work. With this breakthrough, I believe the situation will be reversed soon."

He walked slowly to the window, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and said lightly:

"Pass the order, gather the troops as soon as possible, and we will attack Demon Mountain now! We must eradicate the Soul Devourer's lair completely!"

“Yes, sir!”

Everyone responded in unison, turned around and retreated, and began to make intensive preparations.

Soon, bright lights were lit up throughout the Immortal Execution Pavilion.

Disciples dressed in dark uniforms gathered in the headquarters courtyard with solemn expressions.

Ma Xianhong and Huang Qing each counted their men and gave them some instructions from time to time.

"Remember, this trip to the Demon Mountain is likely to be extremely dangerous. You must be vigilant and not be careless!"

In their hands, they were seen holding various magic weapons that Ma Xianhong had refined overnight, and their expressions were extremely solemn.

"Don't worry, Lao Ma. With these treasures, we won't believe in evil!"

"That's right. With Boss Lin in charge and your magic weapon, it's easy to capture the Soul Devouring Sect, right?"

The disciples responded loudly...

That’s true!

With Lin Bai in charge, everyone felt more at ease...

Chen Duo and Bai Xiao were also busy on the side, packing food, tents, medicines and other items into the space ring.

"Xiao Xiao, how dangerous do you think it will be to go to the Demon Mountain this time?"

When distributing the reserve food to the disciples, Chen Duo suddenly asked a question for no reason.

Bai Xiao was slightly startled when he heard this.

She looked up at the towering mountains, her gaze becoming distant and deep.

"I'm afraid it's a hundred times more dangerous than we imagined..."

She murmured to herself, her voice barely audible.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the only sound was the rustling of the trees, which was particularly desolate.

At this time, the door to the Zhanxian Pavilion headquarters was wide open.

A huge crowd of people came out in a mighty procession, and the leader was Lin Bai, who was dressed in black.

He had a Frost and Snow Sword hanging from his waist and a sky-blue robe on his back.

He walked calmly and with an extraordinary bearing.

Following closely behind were the elite disciples of the Zhanxian Pavilion.

Each of them had a green face and fangs, full of murderous intent. Each of them held a well-made magical weapon, and followed Lin Bai in unison.

"Set off!"

Following Lin Bai's order, the team began to move slowly.

More than a hundred people marched in a mighty manner, galloping all the way towards the Demon Mountain.

The mountain path in the forest was rugged and difficult to walk on, with vines growing everywhere. Countless thorns blocked everyone's way, making it difficult to move forward.

However, the team of Zhanxian Pavilion did not stop for a moment.

Lin Bai took the lead, wielding the sword in his hand, and actually cut down all the obstacles blocking his way.

Ma Xianhong clasped his hands together and chanted a spell quickly.

In an instant, a blazing flame lit up in his palm. Wherever the blazing red flames passed, the vast forests were reduced to ashes.

Huang Qing and Bai Xiao were also on both wings of the team, sometimes releasing poison and sometimes performing secret techniques to resolve the hidden crises one by one.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the army of Zhanxian Pavilion finally arrived at the foot of the Demon Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is a dark primeval forest.

The towering trees blocked out the sun, making it impossible to see the road ahead.

From time to time, the roars of monsters could be heard from afar, which was creepy.

"Be careful, this group of demons are always rampant in this mountain, and it's dangerous everywhere!"

Lin Bai stared at the gloomy forest with a frown on his face.

At this moment, a strange black fog suddenly condensed in front.

The next moment, it expanded rapidly and turned into a pitch-black barrier, blocking everyone's way.

"Hmph, the tricks of the old soul-eating thief!"

Lin Bai smiled coldly, raised his hand and a sharp sword energy slashed down head-on.

However, to everyone's surprise, the black mist did not move at all. Instead, Lin Bai's sword energy was completely absorbed by it and disappeared.

"What kind of evil is this?"

Ma Xianhong exclaimed.

Before he finished speaking, a creepy sneer suddenly came from the black fog.

"Everyone from the Immortal Slaying Pavilion, you really came here uninvited."

A hollow and eerie voice sounded out of nowhere.

"What a pity! I'm afraid your trip was in vain..."

"There are traps and murderous intentions everywhere on Demon Mountain. If you act rashly, you may not even be able to find your body..."

"Hahahahahaha..."

As the words fell, there was a burst of earth-shattering laughter, and the black fog dissipated.

Everyone in the Zhanxian Pavilion looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Oh, you think you can stop me from the Immortal Slaying Pavilion with just a trick?"

"Stop talking, break it for me!"

Lin Bai's eyes flashed like lightning, he let out a long roar, and slashed out with the sword again.

This sword contained all his energy and was extremely sharp.

However, when the sword touched the black fog, a strange scene happened again -

Not only did the sword energy fail to tear through the fog, but it was rebounded by an invisible force.

Lin Bai felt his wrist go numb, and he and his sword flew backwards!

“Boss!”

Huang Qing and Ma Xianhong were horrified and rushed forward to help him up.

However, Lin Bai's face was pale, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He must have suffered serious internal injuries.

"Damn it, even Boss Lin can't do anything about this black fog."

"Is the mechanism at Demon Mountain really that powerful?"

A confused and uncertain discussion gradually arose among the crowd.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn and depressing.

Just when everyone in the Zhanxian Pavilion was at a loss, Chen Duo suddenly spoke.

"I remember that ancient books recorded that the Netherworld Cult was good at setting up formations, especially illusion formations."

"This black fog may be the formation passed down by the Netherworld Sect. If we attack by force, I'm afraid we won't have a chance of winning."

"In my opinion, it is better to find another way out than to confront it head on..."

At this moment, Bai Xiao also joined in.
