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

After Lin Yun and others were in a stalemate with the man in black robe, neither side dared to relax at all. While maintaining their own spiritual defense and attack, they kept a close eye on the other side, trying to find flaws in order to break the deadlock and gain the upper hand.

Although the combined attack formation performed by the black-robed men was extremely powerful, it also consumed a lot of spiritual energy to maintain. Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of their foreheads, but their eyes still revealed ferocity and greed. They vowed to break through the defense line of Lin Yun and others and seize the "Hunyuan Spiritual Method".

Lin Yun was also under considerable pressure. Although everyone worked together to stabilize the formation, their spiritual energy was depleting at an extremely high rate. If the battle wasn't concluded quickly, the consequences of exhausting their spiritual energy would be disastrous. Lin Yun observed the black-robed figures' every move, rapidly formulating a countermeasure. He noticed that while the black-robed figures were maintaining their spiritual energy vortex, one of them stood slightly back, seemingly acting as the key link for the entire formation's spiritual energy. Furthermore, that person's aura was slightly more unstable than the others', suggesting a potential breakthrough point.

"Everyone, pay attention. The person on the right behind the man in black robe may be the key to their formation. If we concentrate our strength to attack him, we may be able to break this combined attack formation!" Lin Yun lowered his voice to convey the message to his companions. After hearing it, everyone nodded slightly, secretly adjusted their positions, and prepared to find the right time to launch a surprise attack.

While the black-robed man was concentrating on maintaining the spiritual energy vortex and thought that Lin Yun and the others could only passively defend, Lin Yun saw the opportunity and shouted, "Attack!"

Everyone launched their attack instantly, and the various spiritual energies converged into a sharp spiritual beam, shooting towards the key figure to the right behind the black-robed man. This attack, combining everyone's full strength, was extremely fast and powerful.

The black-robed figure hadn't anticipated Lin Yun and the others discovering the flaw in their formation. By the time they realized the danger, it was too late to mount an effective response. The spiritual beam of light struck the black-robed figure directly, sending him screaming as the powerful spiritual force sent him flying backwards. Blood gushed from his mouth. The previously stable combined attack formation instantly became disrupted, and the black spiritual vortex began to shake violently, its suction power drastically decreasing, and its light dimmed.

"Great opportunity, let's seize the opportunity!" Lin Yun shouted upon seeing this. Everyone's spirits rose, and they seized this opportunity to launch another attack, attacking the black-robed man and the crumbling spiritual energy vortex, attempting to defeat them in one fell swoop and completely resolve the crisis.

Seeing the formation broken, the black-robed men were filled with shock and anger, but they didn't give up. Instead, they grew even more frantic. A flicker of determination flashed in the eyes of the leading black-robed man, who even resorted to burning his own blood and essence to forcibly increase his spiritual power. His entire body was instantly enveloped by a thick, black, evil aura, and his entire aura became extremely powerful and eerie.

"Even if I risk my life today, I will obtain the Hunyuan Spiritual Technique. All of you, die!" the leading black-robed figure roared, brandishing his black staff with both hands and unleashing a forbidden, evil technique. Bolts of black spiritual energy shot out from the tip of the staff, snaking like serpents towards Lin Yun and the others. Wherever the lightning struck, large craters were blasted into the ground, shattering the spiritual crystals on the cave walls. The entire cave was ravaged by spiritual energy, and chaos reigned.

Seeing this, the other men in black robes followed suit and used their most powerful evil tricks. For a moment, all kinds of strange spiritual attacks came towards Lin Yun and others. The situation that had originally been advantageous was reversed in an instant. Lin Yun and others were once again caught in a difficult resistance, and the situation became extremely critical.

Faced with the black-robed men's frenzied counterattack, Lin Yun and the others hurriedly strengthened their spiritual shields, desperately trying to resist. Lin Yun unleashed every ounce of his energy, applying the spiritual energy fusion technique he'd learned from the Hunyuan Spiritual Technique to its full potential, constantly altering his spiritual energy attributes to enhance his shield's defensive capabilities while simultaneously seeking gaps in the black-robed men's attacks to launch counterattacks. Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute at an increasing speed, the rhythm transforming into spiritual energy blades that rained down upon the black-robed men, attempting to disrupt their attack rhythm and alleviate the pressure on their defense. Chen Yu remained concealed, weaving in and out of the gaps between the black-robed men's attacks, looking for opportunities to launch sneak attacks. Despite the dangers, he managed to cause them some minor trouble. Zhao Gang remained firmly at the front, using his sturdy shield to absorb the majority of the attacks. Even though his arms were numb from the shock and his body was bruised, he gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to retreat a single step.

However, the black-robed figure's attacks, fueled by his consuming blood and essence, were too powerful. Under the relentless onslaught, Lin Yun and the others' spiritual shields dimmed and cracked, seemingly poised to shatter at any moment. Everyone knew that if their shields shattered, they would face the black-robed figure's powerful assault head-on, their lives hanging by a thread. But with no escape route, they could only fight tooth and nail, hoping for a chance to turn the tide and reverse the unfavorable situation.

Just as everyone felt they were about to be overwhelmed, a sudden surge of spiritual energy was heard from outside the cave, followed by several powerful figures swiftly rushing into the cave. It turned out that the leaders of the various sects had noticed the unusual spiritual energy fluctuations and, fearing for the Hunyuan Spiritual Technique, had rushed to support it with several elders.

"Hmph, you lowly creatures, how dare you stir up trouble in the world of immortal cultivation and snatch treasures? Today will be your burial place!" A sect leader shouted angrily, his voice containing powerful spiritual power, which shook the entire cave slightly.

With that, the sect leaders and elders unleashed their powerful, unique martial arts. A dazzling array of spiritual energy instantly illuminated the dim cave. The sect leaders' magical treasures unleashed immense power. Some transformed into enormous spiritual dragons, roaring and lunging towards the black-robed figures. Others unleashed spiritual chains, inscribed with ancient runes, which nimbly weaved between the black-robed figures, restricting their movements. Not to be outdone, the elders unleashed their sophisticated spiritual spells, coordinating with the sect leaders to launch an overwhelming attack on the black-robed figures.

The men in black robes were shocked when they saw the leaders and elders of various sects arriving. They knew that it was completely hopeless to seize the "Hunyuan Spiritual Method" today, but there was still a trace of unwillingness in their eyes.

"Even if we fail, don't expect peace for too long. We are just following orders. The power behind the scenes will sooner or later seize the "Hunyuan Lingfa"!" The leading black-robed man said viciously, trying to intimidate everyone.

"Following orders? Who on earth ordered you? Tell the truth now, and maybe I can spare your lives!" A sect leader asked angrily, and the powerful spiritual power pressed down on the men in black robes, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

The black-robed figure merely sneered and remained silent, clearly unwilling to reveal the mastermind behind the plot. However, their words sent a chill through the hearts of those present, realizing that a larger, more sinister force might be lurking behind this. Their seizure of the Hunyuan Spiritual Technique was no accident, but rather a deeper conspiracy. It seemed the world of immortal cultivation might soon face an even greater crisis.

Under the combined attack of the sect leaders and elders, the black-robed men, no matter how hard they fought, were ultimately no match. Their strength, gleaned from burning their blood and essence, was constantly being depleted, their injuries becoming increasingly severe. Gradually, they were completely defeated by the spiritual attacks of the sect leaders and elders, unable to fight back.

Eventually, the black-robed figures collapsed, their spiritual energy dissipating. Some died instantly, while others were severely wounded and unconscious, losing their fighting ability. The crisis surrounding the Hunyuan Spiritual Technique was temporarily resolved, and Lin Yun and the others breathed a sigh of relief, filled with gratitude for the timely assistance of the various sect leaders and elders.

However, the crowd remained vigilant. The shadow of the black-robed figure and their unsuccessful plot hung heavy over everyone's minds. The leaders of each sect immediately ordered the unconscious black-robed figure to be brought back to their sect for rigorous interrogation. They were determined to uncover the true identity of the black-robed figure and the true nature of this evil force's scheme. They absolutely must not allow the world of immortal cultivation to fall into such an unknown danger.

After returning to their sects, masters from various sects employed various interrogation methods, attempting to extract useful information from the unconscious black-robed individuals. However, these black-robed individuals appeared to have undergone special training and were extremely stubborn. No matter how much they threatened or cajoled them, they refused to divulge a single word about the forces behind them. Some even secretly practiced a sinister, self-destructive technique, preferring death to revealing secrets, bringing the interrogation to a standstill.

After much investigation, the group only discovered a few clues from the black-robed man's belongings and the residual spiritual energy. These clues vaguely pointed to a mysterious organization that had long since disappeared from the world of immortal cultivation. It was said that this organization once focused on stealing various rare skills and spiritual objects, and its actions were extremely vicious and ruthless. Later, it was suppressed by the joint efforts of various sects and was almost destroyed. Unexpectedly, it has now revived and set its sights on the "Hunyuan Spiritual Method". It seems that they are vainly trying to use this powerful skill to revive their forces and once again stir up a bloody storm in the world of immortal cultivation.

After learning about the potential threats they might face, the various sects became even more aware of the importance of protecting the Hunyuan Spiritual Method. The sect leaders gathered again to discuss measures to strengthen the protection of the Secret Pavilion.

They decided to add more patrol disciples to the existing base, and increase the frequency and scope of patrols to ensure that every corner around the Secret Pavilion was under strict surveillance at all times. At the same time, each sect also sent several elders with advanced cultivation to be stationed near the Secret Pavilion for a long time, so that they could respond immediately to any signs of trouble.

Improvements were also made to the storage method for the Hunyuan Spiritual Technique. The sect leaders worked together to create a more complex and powerful seal, wrapping the tome in layers of protection and setting up multiple spiritual power warning mechanisms. Even the mere presence of someone approaching would trigger an alarm, alerting the entire cultivation world.

In addition, each sect also called on all cultivators to be vigilant and pay attention to abnormal situations around them. Once they find suspicious people or things, they should report them in time, strive to nip the conspiracy of this mysterious evil force in the bud, and protect the peace and tranquility of the entire cultivation world as well as this hard-won powerful technique.

After experiencing this crisis, Lin Yun, Su Yao, Chen Yu, Zhao Gang and others felt a stronger sense of responsibility. They knew that simply relying on the various sects to strengthen their defenses was far from enough. They had to take the initiative to find the lair of this mysterious evil force and completely crush their conspiracy in order to truly restore peace to the world of immortal cultivation.

"We can't just passively defend like this. We have to find a way to find them. We must not let them have another chance to threaten the Hunyuan Lingfa and the world of immortal cultivation." Lin Yun said with a firm face, and the others nodded in agreement.

So, after some preparation, they decide to leave their sect and embark on a journey to uncover the mysterious evil force. With the scattered clues they previously uncovered from the black-robed man, they begin investigating every corner of the world of immortal cultivation, hoping to follow the clues and uncover the true face of this evil force hidden in the shadows, thereby eliminating the hidden dangers for the world of immortal cultivation. But what difficulties and obstacles will they encounter on this journey, and will they be able to successfully achieve their goal? Everything remains unknown, and only the subsequent story will slowly unfold.
