I was reborn as a young master in an invincible family of immortals

Lin Yun and his companions hurried back to the sect without stopping. As soon as they landed, they headed straight for the sect's main hall. Seeing their hurried expressions, the disciples on duty approached to inquire. Lin Yun said anxiously, "Hurry and inform the head elders. We have important news to report, one that concerns the survival of the immortal cultivation world!"

Soon, the head elder and other elders arrived. Seeing the solemn expressions on Lin Yun and the others' faces, their hearts sank. Lin Yun didn't even bother to rest, and hurriedly recounted everything he had discovered about the mysterious force in the valley, including their conspiracy, organizational structure, and stronghold locations.

Upon hearing this, the head elder's expression turned extremely grim. He immediately summoned all the sect's senior leaders for an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. Everyone gathered in the meeting hall, the atmosphere oppressive and heavy. After all, if this mysterious force's conspiracy succeeded, the entire world of immortal cultivation would be plunged into irreparable destruction.

"This matter is urgent. We must unite with other sects as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures. We must not let the conspiracy of this mysterious force succeed." The head elder said in a serious expression, and the other elders nodded in agreement. They immediately decided to send several capable disciples to various sects with whom they had connections to deliver the news and invite them to the sect to discuss important matters.

After the news broke, all the major sects, realizing the gravity of the situation, responded in droves. Within a few days, many influential sect leaders, elders, and other important figures in the world of immortal cultivation arrived at Lin Yun's sect. For a time, the sect was so crowded with experts that the usually spacious reception hall seemed a bit crowded.

After a few pleasantries, everyone got straight to the point. Lin Yun, the primary discoverer of this intelligence, recounted in detail what he had seen and heard in the mysterious valley, and also shared key information about the mysterious force he had retrieved from the stone platform. The representatives from each sect were filled with righteous indignation, and at the same time, they gained a deeper understanding of the severity of the situation.

"This mysterious force is so despicable that it dares to try to disrupt the entire world of immortal cultivation. We must not sit idly by!" A respected sect leader said angrily, and the other leaders echoed him. They immediately began to discuss the specific response plan one after another.

After a heated discussion, everyone finally formulated a detailed response plan. First, based on the locations of the mysterious force's strongholds, they decided to dispatch several elite teams to conduct secret investigations of these strongholds, further verify the situation, and collect as much useful intelligence as possible to prepare for subsequent operations.

Secondly, each sect selected a number of masters to form a joint defense team, stationed at several key spiritual veins and resource-rich areas in the world of immortal cultivation, to prevent mysterious forces from launching attacks in advance and snatching these important resources, ensuring that the foundation of the world of immortal cultivation is not shaken.

In addition, arrange for cultivators who are good at intelligence gathering and tracking to pay close attention to the movements of the mysterious forces. Once they discover any new actions, they should pass on the news in a timely manner so that all parties can respond quickly.

Because Lin Yun and others had direct contact with the mysterious forces and were experienced, they were assigned the task of exploring the strongholds. They formed a team with elite disciples from other sects and were responsible for the investigation of several important strongholds.

"This operation concerns the safety of the entire world of immortal cultivation. Everyone must be cautious and cooperate with each other. We must thwart the conspiracy of this mysterious force." The commander-in-chief of a joint operation solemnly instructed everyone. Everyone nodded in agreement with a solemn expression, and then dispersed, ready to carry out the tasks assigned to them.

Lin Yun and his teammates from different sects rushed to the mysterious stronghold they were assigned to. The stronghold was located in a hidden valley, surrounded by steep mountains and shrouded in mist. Without careful observation, it would be difficult to discover the hidden world within the valley.

Everyone quietly approached the valley, relying on their own concealment skills to carefully sneak in. As soon as they entered the valley, Lin Yun sensed a subtle fluctuation of spiritual power. This fluctuation exuded a hint of danger, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them from the dark.

"Everyone be careful, this place is not simple. It seems there are traps or secret sentries." Lin Yun lowered his voice to remind everyone. Everyone slowed down their pace and moved forward more cautiously, always paying attention to the movements around them.

As they walked, a seemingly ordinary patch of grass suddenly appeared in front of them. However, Chen Yu, with his keen perception, noticed that the spiritual energy flow under the grass was abnormal. He quickly signaled everyone to stop and said softly, "Don't go forward. There's something wrong with this grass. There might be a mechanism hidden underneath."

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly took a detour and became more vigilant. They knew that the road was full of dangers and they had to be extremely careful with every step. Otherwise, if they were not careful, they might fall into an irretrievable situation.

However, despite their utmost caution, they inadvertently triggered a hidden alarm barrier. Instantly, alarm bells blared throughout the valley, shattering the previously tranquil atmosphere. From all directions, a large number of cultivators from mysterious forces emerged. Clad in uniform black robes, their faces stern and indifferent, they surrounded Lin Yun and the others. The spiritual energy emanating from their bodies revealed their extraordinary strength.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that someone would dare to come to our stronghold to investigate. He is really courting death!" A man who looked like a leader in a black robe said with a sneer, his eyes revealing a strong murderous intent.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yun and the others immediately formed a circle, back to back, ready for battle. Despite facing numerous enemies, they showed no fear. After all, they were all carefully selected elites from various sects. They displayed their magic weapons, secretly energized their spiritual energy, and prepared to fight the enemy to the death.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. Let's rush out together. We can't be trapped here!" Lin Yun shouted, and took the lead in waving the magic staff, unleashing a powerful spiritual attack, rushing towards the black-robed man in front. Other teammates also used their own skills. For a moment, various spiritual lights intertwined and flashed in the valley, and shouts of killing resounded through the sky.

The battle broke out instantly. The spiritual attack launched by Lin Yun turned into spiritual patterns and swept towards the men in black robes. Seeing this, the men in black robes used their skills to resist. Some summoned spiritual shields, and some brandished weapons transformed from spiritual power and fought back towards Lin Yun.

Lin Yun was traveling with a disciple from another sect who was good at swordsmanship. His sword skills were sharp. His figure was as fast as lightning, and he waved the sword in his hand. Sword Qi crisscrossed and each sword accurately stabbed the vital parts of the black-robed men. In an instant, several black-robed men were injured and fell to the ground.

Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, and the fluctuations of her spiritual energy transformed into spiritual blades, raining down like raindrops towards the enemy's densely packed area, disrupting their attack rhythm and causing considerable damage. Chen Yu used the art of stealth to silently weave between the black-robed men. He found the perfect moment to unleash a powerful, hidden spiritual blade, targeting their weak points and catching many of them off guard.

Wang Lin continuously threw various talismans. Some of them transformed into blazing flames, instantly forming a sea of ​​fire around the black-robed figure, while others formed into strong ropes, attempting to bind the black-robed figure's hands and feet, restricting their movement. Zhao Gang, shield in hand, stood firmly in front of the group. With his superior defensive power, he withstood wave after wave of frontal attacks from the black-robed figure, creating a relatively safe environment for his teammates to output damage.

Although Lin Yun and the others displayed their abilities and fought hard, the enemy was outnumbered, and the black-robed men worked together in perfect harmony, clearly having undergone rigorous training. As the battle continued, they gradually began to lose strength, and all of them sustained injuries.

"We can't go on like this. There are too many of them. We have to find a way to break out." Lin Yun shouted loudly while resisting the enemy's attack, becoming more and more anxious.

At this moment, the black-robed leader, seizing the perfect opportunity, took action himself. He formed hand seals, muttered something, and then thrust his hands forward. A powerful black spiritual energy converged into a massive vortex, sweeping towards Lin Yun and the others. Wherever this vortex passed, it seemed as if even space itself was distorted. Its power was astonishing.

Facing the black-robed leader's powerful attack, everyone dared not be careless and quickly concentrated their strength to resist. Lin Yun stuck his staff into the ground, quickly forming seals with his hands, and guided everyone to inject spiritual power into the staff. The staff instantly burst into a brilliant light, transforming into a huge spiritual light curtain, heading towards the spiritual power vortex.

The other teammates also continuously channeled their spiritual energy into the light curtain, reinforcing its defenses. With everyone's concerted efforts, the spiritual energy curtain and the spiritual energy vortex collided fiercely, erupting with a burst of intense light and a roaring sound. The powerful impact sent everyone's blood boiling, but fortunately, the light curtain temporarily blocked this fatal blow.

"Let's take advantage of this moment and rush over there together!" Lin Yun saw the opportunity when the man in black robe was slightly pushed back by the impact, shouted, and took the lead in rushing in one direction. Everyone gritted their teeth and followed him, launching a fierce breakout attack towards a weak link in the encirclement, trying to fight their way out and escape from this dangerous place.

After everyone's desperate efforts, they finally broke through the black-robed men's encirclement and rushed out of the valley. However, the other party would not let them go so easily. The black-robed men chased them closely, and from time to time they launched long-range spiritual attacks to try to stop them.

During their escape, several teammates were attacked by the black-robed men, suffering serious injuries and gradually slowing down. Seeing this, Lin Yun was extremely anxious and wanted to go back to rescue them, but the other teammates quickly grabbed him and said anxiously, "Brother Lin Yun, we can't go back now, or we will all die here. Let's take the message back first, and then find a way to rescue them."

Lin Yun gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with pain and helplessness. In the end, he could only harden his heart and continue to flee towards the sect with the remaining teammates, dodging the pursuit of the black-robed men along the way. Everyone's heart was filled with grief and unwillingness. This exploration operation was unsuccessful and many people were lost, which made everyone feel particularly heavy.

After a difficult escape, Lin Yun and his companions finally returned to the sect in a state of disarray. Seeing their plight, everyone in the sect was horrified and rushed forward to help treat the wounded and inquire about their situation.

Lin Yun, with a guilty look on his face, reported in detail to the head elder and representatives of other sects everything that happened during the exploration of the stronghold. After hearing this, everyone's expressions became more solemn.

"It seems that this mysterious force is more difficult to deal with than we thought. We must readjust our plans and find another way to deal with it." The head elder frowned and said, and representatives from other sects nodded. They gathered together again to discuss new countermeasures and prepare to deal with this increasingly complex and severe situation. This struggle for the fate of the world of immortal cultivation has also entered a more difficult stage.
