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

The black-robed men's attack intensified, their tactics constantly changing. Black spiritual energy crisscrossed the night sky, transforming into a variety of fierce attacks that swept towards the special operations team. Some of the black-robed men summoned black chains made of spiritual power, attempting to bind the men's hands and feet; others condensed massive spiritual palms and slammed them down fiercely. Each attack brought a powerful pressure that overwhelmed the special operations team.

Although Lin Yun and his companions had fought tooth and nail, their situation became increasingly difficult in this situation where they were outnumbered. Under the relentless attacks of the black-robed figure, cracks began to appear on Lin Yun's spiritual energy screen. The light on the screen flickered, as if it would shatter at any moment. Beads of sweat covered his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and continuously poured his spiritual energy into the screen, trying to maintain its defense. He shouted, "Everyone, hold on! Don't disperse! Cooperate!"

Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute faster and faster, and the spiritual blades became more dense, but her face became paler and paler. The excessive consumption of spiritual power made her body shake a little, but she still held on, staring at the enemy firmly, not missing any opportunity to interfere with the other party.

Chen Yu shuttled back and forth in the encirclement of the black-robed men. He had several wounds on his body and his clothes were stained red with blood. However, with his tenacious will and superb concealment skills, he was still looking for the enemy's flaws and attacking the black-robed men from time to time. However, this was just a drop in the bucket for the overall battle situation.

There were only a few talismans left in Wang Lin's hand. After throwing out the last few talismans with powerful defensive and interference effects, she gripped a spiritual dagger she carried with her, ready for close combat. There was determination in her eyes, and she would never give in easily even if the battle lasted until the last moment.

Zhao Gang's shield, having endured numerous blows, had developed slight cracks on its surface. His arms were already numb and aching, but he stood firm in the front like an unshakable mountain, using his body to block the barrage of attacks for his teammates, constantly shouting, "I can still hold on. Find a chance to break through!"

Just when everyone felt they were about to collapse, Lin Yun, in the midst of the fierce battle, suddenly noticed a brief disconnect in the coordination of several black-robed men on one side of the encirclement. Perhaps fatigued by the continuous attacks, the connection between their spiritual energy was no longer as strong as it should have been. This might be a glimmer of hope for a breakout.

"Everyone, rush over there. That's a flaw. Let's work together!" Lin Yun shouted and slammed his magic staff into the ground. A strong spiritual power shock was released from the top of the magic staff and blasted towards that direction, temporarily forcing back the black-robed men and opening a small gap.

When everyone heard Lin Yun's cry, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts. They cheered up and rushed towards the gap. Su Yao blew a storm of spiritual blades, sweeping towards the black-robed figure in front of the gap, clearing the way for everyone. Chen Yu used the stealth technique and rushed towards the gap first, ready to attract the black-robed figure's attention and create better conditions for his teammates to break out. Wang Lin and Zhao Gang followed closely behind, fending off the attacks of the black-robed figures on both sides who tried to block them, while protecting Lin Yun and rushing out.

However, the black-robed men quickly reacted and adjusted their formation, attempting to re-block the gap. Suddenly, various attacks came towards the special operations team again, and everyone could only resist while desperately rushing out.

Unfortunately, during the breakout, Wang Lin was struck in the back by a beam of black spiritual energy. She flew forward and fell heavily to the ground, blood gushing from her mouth. Seeing this, Lin Yun was extremely anxious and wanted to turn back to save her, but Wang Lin used up her last bit of strength to shout, "Leave me alone, go and take the message back!"

Zhao Gang gritted his teeth, grabbed Lin Yun and said, "Brother Lin Yun, we can't hesitate now. We have to rush out first, otherwise Wang Lin's sacrifice will be in vain!" Lin Yun's eyes were full of pain and reluctance, but he knew that he had no choice at the moment. He could only hold back his tears and continue to follow everyone to rush out of the encirclement.

After a difficult struggle and a fierce fight, Lin Yun, Su Yao, Chen Yu, and Zhao Gang finally broke through the black-robed men's encirclement and ran deep into the forest. The black-robed men were chasing them relentlessly, occasionally launching long-range attacks to try to stop them, but everyone was too busy to care about anything else at this moment. Their only concern was to escape the pursuit as quickly as possible and inform the other sects of the black-robed men's conspiracy.

Just as everyone felt they were about to be caught up and were sinking into despair, a valley shrouded in thick fog suddenly appeared ahead. The spiritual energy in the valley was extremely chaotic, and a faint sense of danger permeated it. But at this moment, they had no choice but to rush into the valley.

The black-robed man chased to the entrance of the valley, but seemed a little apprehensive and hesitated for a moment before pursuing him. It turned out that this valley was a famous and dangerous place near the mysterious land, called the "Psychedelic Spirit Valley". There was a naturally formed psychedelic spiritual array in the valley. Once trapped in it, it was easy to lose one's way and even be injured by the spiritual attacks from the array. Therefore, the black-robed man did not dare to enter rashly.

After Lin Yun and the others rushed into the valley, they were initially bewildered by the psychedelic spiritual array. However, Chen Yu, with his keen perception and familiarity with spiritual energy fluctuations, quickly discovered some patterns within the array. He shouted, "Everyone, follow me. Follow the areas with weaker spiritual energy. Perhaps we can find the exit!"

Everyone hurriedly followed Chen Yu, turning left and right in the psychedelic valley. With the help of the cover of the spiritual power array, they gradually distanced themselves from the black-robed men, successfully escaped their pursuit, and temporarily escaped danger.

After escaping the pursuit, they stopped in a secluded corner of the valley. Everyone was exhausted, wounded, and nearly depleted of spiritual energy. But their hearts were heavy at the moment, remembering Wang Lin's sacrifice to help them break free, and their hearts were filled with grief and self-blame.

"It's all my fault. If I were stronger, maybe Wang Lin wouldn't have…" Lin Yun punched the rock next to him in self-blame. His hand was immediately covered in blood, but he felt no pain. His heart was filled with sadness for the departure of his partner.

Su Yao was already in tears, and she choked up and said, "Wang Lin has always been so brave. She did it to protect the world of immortal cultivation... We must expose the conspiracy of the black-robed man and not let her sacrifice be in vain."

Chen Yu and Zhao Gang's eyes welled up as they nodded silently. They knew this was not the time to dwell on their grief; they needed to recover quickly and bring important intelligence back to the sect. So, they took healing pills from their magical storage, swallowed them, and began meditating to regulate their breathing and restore their spiritual energy. At the same time, they set up some simple warning barriers around the area to prevent further danger.

After a period of rest, everyone's injuries had healed somewhat, and their spiritual power had recovered somewhat. Despite experiencing such a painful blow, they did not forget the purpose of this operation and decided to continue tracking the black-robed man to see if they could find some more clues about them and understand their subsequent plans.

Relying on their memories of the black-robed man's whereabouts, they carefully moved back towards the mysterious place. Along the way, they were extremely cautious, always paying attention to their surroundings to avoid encountering the black-robed man again or triggering other dangers.

When they approached the place where they had fought with the black-robed man before, they found that the scene had been cleaned up and there were no obvious traces left. However, Chen Yu, relying on his superb tracking skills, still found a few traces of the black-robed man's remaining spiritual energy in some hidden corners. Following this breath, everyone continued to track, hoping to find the black-robed man's whereabouts or other valuable clues.

Following the faint spiritual energy, they tracked for a long time until they arrived at a seemingly ordinary cave. The cave was obscured by vines and weeds, making it difficult to detect the hidden world without careful observation. However, the spiritual energy disappeared into the cave, making it clear that the black-robed man had likely used this place as a temporary base.

Lin Yun signaled everyone to stop, then used his spiritual perception technique to carefully explore the situation inside the cave. He found that there were fluctuations of spiritual power restrictions in the cave, and he could faintly sense the presence of several people inside, which should be the black-robed man.

"This might be the base of the black-robed men. Everyone, be careful and observe first to see if you can find a chance to go in and check it out. Maybe we can find their plans or more clues about the treasures in this mysterious place." Lin Yun lowered his voice and said to his teammates. Everyone nodded and found a hidden position, quietly observing the movements in the cave, preparing to find the right time to find out.

The crowd lurked outside the cave for a long time and discovered that people in black robes were coming in and out of the cave from time to time. Some of them were carrying some strange items that seemed to have been collected from around the mysterious place, while others looked hurried, as if they were delivering some important news.

Through careful observation, they also discovered several hidden spiritual energy warnings outside the cave. If anyone approached and triggered them, the black-robed figure inside would immediately notice. Furthermore, there seemed to be some defensive restrictions around the cave to prevent intrusion. The spiritual energy fluctuations of these restrictions were very subtle, and if they hadn't been constantly vigilant, it would have been difficult to detect any clues.

"The defenses of this cave are very tight. We can't act rashly. We have to think of a comprehensive plan that can not only avoid these warnings and prohibitions, but also go in to check the situation." Chen Yu whispered. Everyone fell into deep thought, thinking about feasible solutions. After all, this opportunity was rare. Once they could obtain key information about the man in black robes, it would be of vital importance to the entire world of immortal cultivation.

After some discussion, they decided that Chen Yu would use his stealth technique to first test the specifics of the spiritual power warnings and defensive restrictions, to see if he could find any flaws or weaknesses. Then, Lin Yun would perform spiritual power interference techniques to coordinate with Chen Yu's actions, creating small movements when necessary to attract the attention of the black-robed figures in the cave and buy Chen Yu some time.

Su Yao and Zhao Gang stayed a little further away, ready to meet Chen Yu and provide timely assistance in case of any unexpected situation, ensuring Chen Yu's safe return. At the same time, they also had to pay attention to whether there were other black-robed people rushing to reinforce them, and be prepared to deal with any emergencies.

After the plan was finalized, everyone began to move. Chen Yu took a deep breath, exerting his stealth abilities to the utmost, and slowly approached the cave, taking each step with extreme caution, as if walking on a tightrope. This dangerous infiltration operation was about to begin, and no one could be sure what unknowns and challenges awaited them.

Chen Yu slowly approached the first spiritual energy warning. He stopped and carefully observed the direction and frequency of the warning's spiritual energy flow, trying to find a pattern. Just as he was about to reach out and touch it to further confirm the situation, the warning's spiritual energy suddenly flickered, as if it had sensed someone approaching and emitted a slight fluctuation.

Chen Yu was startled and quickly stopped, lying motionless on the ground, breathing lightly. The black-robed figure inside the cave seemed to have noticed something as well. There were faint sounds of footsteps and conversation, as if someone was approaching the cave entrance to check on the situation. A sudden crisis had struck again, and everyone's hearts were in their throats. Whether they could once again escape danger and successfully obtain intelligence remained uncertain.
