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

Chapter 146 Arriving Quietly and Hiding the Traces

The special operations team carefully flew towards the mysterious place, using their flying magic weapons. To avoid being discovered, they deliberately chose a relatively hidden flight route and used various techniques to conceal their aura, suppressing their spiritual power fluctuations to a minimum.

After a long flight, they finally approached the mysterious place again. From afar, the mysterious place was still shrouded in mist, exuding an unfathomable aura. Strange spiritual energy fluctuations could be heard intermittently, making people wary.

Lin Yun signaled for everyone to descend. They quietly landed in a dense forest some distance from the mysterious place, then quickly performed a stealth technique, concealing their figures among the trees and blending in with the surroundings. This forest was usually seldom visited, and the surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the occasional bird calls and rustling of leaves, as if foreshadowing the tension to come.

"Everyone, be careful. The men in black robes are very secretive. We must not reveal our whereabouts. Let's observe the surrounding situation first to see if we can find any traces of them." Lin Yun lowered his voice and said to his teammates. Everyone nodded and dispersed. Relying on their keen perception, they quietly explored in different directions. A tracking operation full of unknowns began.

The group searched the forest for a long time, but found no trace of the black-robed figures. It was as if they were merely phantoms that occasionally appeared here and there, vanishing without a trace. However, the special operations team remained undaunted. They knew that tracking required patience, especially when faced with such a mysterious target.

So, they each found a secluded spot and quietly lurked, observing intently the movements around the mysterious place, not missing a single possible clue. Time slipped quietly, and the light in the forest gradually dimmed with the sun's movement, but the black-robed figure still did not appear. Aside from the strange spiritual energy that continued to emanate from the mysterious place, there was no other unusual activity.

"Don't worry, everyone. Since the man in black robes appeared here before, he will definitely come again. Let's keep guarding. I believe we will always find something." Lin Yun sent a message to his teammates through the sound transmission talisman, encouraging everyone. Although everyone was a little anxious, they still endured it and continued to maintain a high level of vigilance, waiting for the man in black robes to appear.

As night fell, the entire mysterious land was shrouded in a hazy gloom, appearing even more mysterious and eerie. Just as everyone was growing weary of waiting, suddenly, movement could be heard from the mysterious land. The already chaotic fluctuations of spiritual energy intensified in the night. Mysterious rays of light began to flicker above the ruins, interweaving together to form complex runic shapes. Just as the observation team had reported, with each flicker, a low rumble could be heard from the direction of the ruins, as if something were slowly awakening beneath the earth.

At the same time, the mysterious creatures around began to become restless. They ran back and forth in the mountains and forests, making bursts of roars, making the originally quiet night noisy and full of danger.

"Pay attention, the man in black robe might show up at this time." Lin Yun reminded his teammates again. Everyone's eyes were fixed on all directions of the mysterious place, and they secretly grasped the magic weapons in their hands, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Sure enough, not long after, several figures in black robes slowly emerged from the darkness of the forest. Their robes were so large that they completely enveloped their bodies, making it impossible to see their faces. Only pairs of eyes radiating a cold light could be seen, exuding a chilling aura.

The black-robed figures cautiously approached the mysterious location, observing their surroundings warily as they walked, as if wary of being discovered. They walked and stopped, occasionally pausing to cast detection spells to check for any unusual spiritual fluctuations, acting with extreme caution.

Seeing this, the members of the special operations team dared not even breathe, employing their concealment techniques to the utmost, fearing the black-robed individuals would detect their presence. Lin Yun quietly used his spiritual power perception technique to try to detect the black-robed individuals' cultivation realm, but to his surprise, the spiritual power fluctuations of these individuals were very subtle, making it difficult to accurately judge their strength. This made him even more vigilant, knowing that this enemy he faced was no simpler.

After the black-robed men walked a little further away, the special operations team quietly followed them, keeping a safe distance and carefully tracking them. They used trees, rocks, and other obstacles in the forest as cover, trying not to make any noise, following the black-robed men's footsteps like ghosts.

However, the area surrounding this mysterious place was inherently dangerous. While tracking, they had to keep an eye on the movements of the black-robed figure while carefully avoiding the mysterious creatures scurrying about and any hidden traps. Several times, the team nearly triggered spiritual power restrictions hidden in the bushes. Fortunately, Chen Yu, with his keen perception, spotted them in time and signaled for a detour, thus avoiding the danger of exposing their whereabouts.

Even so, as they continued to advance, danger loomed. The black-robed figures ahead seemed to sense something was amiss and suddenly stopped. One of them slowly turned and glanced in the direction of the special operations team. His icy gaze seemed to penetrate the darkness, piercing everyone's hearts, making them instantly jump to their throats. A sudden crisis seemed to be approaching.

Seeing the black-robed figure take notice, the special operations team members hurriedly stopped, holding their breath, and dared not move. Lin Yun even suppressed the fluctuations of his spiritual power to a near-zero state, silently praying that the black-robed figure would not discover them.

Fortunately, the black-robed figure only glanced around and found nothing unusual, so he turned around and continued walking towards the mysterious place. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to be careless. They continued to follow carefully behind, but more cautiously, taking every step carefully, constantly paying attention to changes in the black-robed figure and the surrounding environment.

After walking for a while, the man in black robe came to the edge of the mysterious place. He stood there quietly observing the constantly flickering light and shadow and the surging spiritual power fluctuations in the ruins. He seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes revealed a greedy and mysterious look, as if he was determined to obtain the secret hidden in the ruins. However, they did not rush in rashly, but just wandered outside. This made everyone in the special operations team full of doubts, wondering what the man in black robe was planning.

In order to find out the purpose of the man in black robe, Lin Yun decided to take a risk and led the team members to move closer to the man in black robe more quietly. He hid behind a relatively hidden boulder and tried to eavesdrop on the conversation of the man in black robe to see if he could get any useful clues from it.

Everyone cautiously poked their heads out, pricked up their ears, and tried to catch the conversation between the black-robed men. Due to the distance, and the black-robed men deliberately lowering their voices, at first they could only hear a few vague words, but as they focused their attention, they gradually distinguished some key points.

"...The secret of this place must not be known to those immortal cultivation sects. Once they get hold of it... our plans will all be ruined..." A man in black robe whispered.

"But the restrictions in this relic are too strong. We have tried several times but failed to get in, and we have lost a lot of manpower. What should we do next?" Another man in black robe responded anxiously.

"Don't be anxious, just observe a little longer. When the time is right, there will always be a way. I heard that there is a treasure related to the ancient spiritual power inheritance hidden in it. If we can get it, we can control that powerful force, and then the whole world of immortal cultivation will have to listen to us..." The black-robed man who spoke earlier revealed a hint of fanaticism in his tone, and his eyes flashed with greed.

When the members of the special operations team heard these conversations, they were shocked. They did not expect that the man in black robe had such great ambitions. Moreover, there seemed to be an extremely important ancient treasure hidden in this mysterious place, which was related to the inheritance of powerful spiritual power. If the man in black robe succeeded, the world of immortal cultivation would surely fall into chaos again.

Just when everyone was concentrating on eavesdropping, suddenly, a mysterious creature appeared from nowhere and rushed towards the direction of the special operations team. It seemed to regard everyone as enemies invading its territory. It opened its bloody mouth and let out a roar, instantly breaking the silence.

The black-robed men immediately became alert upon hearing the noise, turning to look towards the special operations team. When they saw the people hiding behind the boulder, a fierce glint flashed in their eyes, and they shouted in unison, "Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop on us here? You're so bold!"

After saying that, the men in black robes quickly used their skills to surround the special operations team. The black robes on their bodies moved without wind, and spiritual energy surged out. A powerful pressure enveloped everyone, and it was obvious that they were ready to take action.

Seeing this, the members of the special operations team realized they had been exposed and no longer hid. They all emerged from behind the boulders, each displaying their magic weapons and preparing for battle. Despite facing such a critical situation, they showed no fear. After all, they were all elites carefully selected from various sects. They were determined to stop the black-robed man's conspiracy and protect the peace and tranquility of the world of immortal cultivation, even if it meant death.

The men in black robes were the first to attack. They formed seals with their hands and muttered something. In an instant, black beams of spiritual power shot out from their palms. The beams shot towards the special operations team like sharp arrows, with extremely fast speed and amazing power.

Lin Yun waved his staff, unleashing a spiritual energy curtain that enveloped everyone, attempting to block the black-robed man's attack. The curtain collided with the black spiritual energy beam, unleashing a dazzling burst of light and a roaring sound. The powerful impact numbed Lin Yun's arm, but thankfully, the curtain temporarily blocked the attack.

Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy transformed into spiritual blades, which rained down like raindrops towards the area where the black-robed men were densely packed, disrupting their attack rhythm and causing considerable damage. Chen Yu used the stealth technique to instantly disappear from the spot, circled behind the black-robed men, and found the right moment to unleash his hidden spiritual blades, 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, allowing them to attack with peace of mind.

Despite the special operations team's dedicated efforts, the black-robed men were far more formidable than most. Furthermore, they held the advantage in numbers and coordinated well. As the battle dragged on, they gradually began to lose strength, each sustaining injuries of varying degrees.

"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.

The black-robed figures seemed to have seen through the group's intentions. They intensified their attacks, closing the encirclement ever closer, attempting to capture the special operations team in one fell swoop. The situation became increasingly dire for the special operations team, and they were trapped in a desperate situation. Whether they could successfully break out of the encirclement and stop the black-robed figures' conspiracy became the most critical issue at this moment. Everyone gritted their teeth and continued to fight the black-robed figures desperately, hoping for a turnaround to reverse this unfavorable situation.
