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

After Lin Yun, Su Yao, Chen Yu, Zhao Gang and others bid farewell to their various sects, they embarked on an unknown journey to explore the mysterious evil forces based on the scattered clues they had collected from the black-robed man.

The clues they held were meager, consisting of a few objects bearing special spiritual markings and a few vague references to a remote region. Yet, their hearts were not afraid, but rather filled with unwavering determination. To protect the Hunyuan Spiritual Method and the peace of the entire world of immortal cultivation, they were willing to investigate, even if the fog ahead was thick with mystery.

Following the clues, they flew towards a desolate mountain range on the edge of the Xiuxian world. Along the way, the spiritual energy grew thinner and thinner as they advanced, and the scenery grew increasingly desolate. The once bustling Xiuxian towns had long since vanished, leaving only the ruins of a few dilapidated villages, as if telling of the vicissitudes and changes of the past.

"Everyone, be careful. There is a strange aura in this area. The evil forces might have set up a base nearby. We may be in danger at any time." Lin Yun reminded. Everyone nodded and restrained their spiritual energy more carefully. They slowed down and watched the movements below vigilantly while flying.

After arriving at the Desolate Mountains, everyone landed and began to explore further on foot. The mountains were rocky and covered with thorns, making the road difficult to walk on. From time to time, one could hear the low roars of unknown monsters, which made people feel creepy.

Chen Yu, relying on his exceptional skills in concealment and tracking, carefully explored the path ahead, not missing a single possible clue. Suddenly, he stopped, gestured to the group behind him to silence them, and pointed to a nearby cave. He lowered his voice and said, "There's something amiss about that cave over there. I sense a faint, sinister aura emanating from it. It could be connected to the evil forces we're looking for."

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted, and they immediately approached the cave. As they got closer, they noticed the weeds surrounding the cave were unnaturally withered, as if eroded by some sinister force. Furthermore, there were faint traces of spiritual power restrictions at the cave entrance. Although carefully concealed, they still couldn't escape their keen perception.

"It seems like there must be something going on here. Don't rush in. I'll try to break the restriction at the entrance of the cave and see if I can get in safely." Lin Yun said, and then he used his spiritual power to carefully study the restriction at the entrance of the cave. The others were on guard around, guarding against possible emergencies.

Lin Yun closed his eyes and slowly channeled his spiritual energy, sensing the fluctuations of the spiritual energy and the patterns of the runes in the restriction at the cave entrance. This restriction was quite complex, incorporating a variety of sinister spiritual properties, and was vastly different from the restrictions they were familiar with in the world of immortal cultivation. However, after delving into the Hunyuan Spiritual Technique, Lin Yun's understanding and control of spiritual energy had greatly improved. After some exploration, he gradually found a clue to cracking it.

He twisted his fingers lightly, muttering something, and injected his spiritual power into the restriction in a specific order, attempting to disrupt the restriction's original spiritual power circulation. As he continued to inject spiritual power, the restriction at the cave entrance began to flicker with an unstable light, and the runes also showed signs of disorder.

"Now, everyone, join me in exerting our strength to break this restriction!" Lin Yun whispered. Upon hearing this, everyone gathered their spiritual energy onto Lin Yun and blasted towards the restriction. A burst of spiritual energy flashed, and with a series of "crackling" sounds, the restriction at the cave entrance was finally broken, transforming into tiny spots of spiritual energy that dissipated into the air.

Cautiously, the group entered the cave. A pungent, putrid odor filled the air. Stones adorning the walls glowed eerily red, barely illuminating the surroundings. The walls were also covered in sinister runes and patterns, chilling the senses. The group knew they were one step closer to the mysterious evil, but what awaited them next? They clutched their magical weapons tightly and continued their journey deeper into the cave.

After slowly walking along the cave passage for a distance, they arrived at a relatively open cave. In the center of the cave stood a large stone platform, upon which sat several black jars. The jars were sealed, yet wisps of black evil energy still seeped out, lingering around the stone platform.

Su Yao frowned and approached the stone platform, wanting to see what was in these jars. But as soon as she got close, she felt a powerful evil force rushing towards her, as if to invade her sea of ​​consciousness and devour her soul. She hurriedly stepped back a few steps, her face turning pale.

"These things are so weird. The evil power contained in them is very strong. Everyone must not touch them easily." Su Yao said with lingering fear. When everyone heard this, they became alert and stood in place to carefully observe the stone platform and those black jars.

At this moment, Lin Yun discovered that the ground around the stone platform was covered with complex array patterns. These patterns seemed to be intrinsically connected to the restrictions at the cave entrance and the runes on the cave walls. Furthermore, judging by the flow of spiritual energy from the array, it seemed to be constantly drawing on the surrounding evil forces, converging them into the black jars, strengthening the evil within. But what exactly was this purpose? Everyone was filled with confusion, and at the same time, they increasingly felt that the conspiracy of this mysterious evil force was unfathomable.

As everyone gathered around the stone platform, observing and contemplating, Zhao Gang accidentally bumped into a piece of gravel on the ground. The tumble of gravel triggered the formation lines surrounding the platform. Instantly, the evil energy within the cave surged wildly. The evil energy that had been lingering around the black jar, as if summoned, quickly converged on a key point in the formation. Then, the formation emitted a dazzling red light, and within it, ferocious ghostly figures emerged. They lunged at the crowd with bared fangs and claws, emitting terrifying roars.

"Oh no! The trap's been triggered! Everyone, be careful!" Lin Yun shouted, and everyone quickly came to their senses, casting spiritual shields to prepare for the sudden attack. However, these evil spirits were extremely fast and seemed unfazed by ordinary spiritual attacks. They easily passed through everyone's shields and pounced on their bodies. Once touched by them, everyone felt a piercing cold evil force invading their bodies, slowing their spiritual energy, and the situation became extremely critical.

Faced with these formidable evil spirits and phantoms, everyone dared not slack off and used their strongest means to resist. Lin Yun waved his staff with both hands and cast a spiritual power spell from the "Hunyuan Spiritual Method" that was integrated with the power of pure yang, trying to use the power of pure yang to dispel these evil evil spirits and phantoms. He saw a series of blazing spiritual light shooting out from the top of the staff. Wherever it went, the evil spirits and phantoms screamed in pain and their figures became a little illusory, but they soon re-condensed and continued to attack; Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, and the melody turned into spiritual power ripples containing the power of purification, which spread towards the evil spirits and phantoms, but the effect was not ideal. The evil spirits and phantoms were only slightly affected. Despite the obstacles, they still rushed forward one after another; Chen Yu hid his body, went around the back of the evil spirit phantoms, and stabbed at their vital parts with the spiritual dagger, but after the dagger stabbed, the evil spirit phantoms seemed to have no entity and could not cause any substantial damage to them; Zhao Gang stood in the front again, using his sturdy shield to block the impact of the evil spirit phantoms as much as possible for everyone, but every time he resisted, he could feel the evil power spreading towards him along the shield, and his arms became heavier. Everyone was caught in an extremely difficult and bitter battle.

During the fierce battle, Lin Yun fended off the attacks of the evil spirits while carefully observing their movements, trying to find their flaws. After some observation, he discovered that whenever the evil spirits pounced on the crowd, they would briefly gather together, forming a relatively dense group. During this process, the evil forces between them would become slightly disordered. Perhaps this was the key moment for a breakthrough.

"Everyone, pay attention. When the evil spirit phantoms gather again, we will concentrate our forces to attack the center where they gather. That may be their weakness!" Lin Yun shouted loudly. When everyone heard it, they nodded, their spirits lifted, and they stared more intently at the movements of the evil spirit phantoms, waiting for the right opportunity to come.

Finally, the evil spirit phantoms pounced towards the crowd again. When they were about to get close to the crowd, they began to gather together as Lin Yun observed, forming a dense group, and the evil forces also became briefly disordered.

"Now, attack!" Lin Yun commanded, and everyone shouted in unison, blasting their gathered spiritual energy towards the center of the evil spirit phantom. Suddenly, the various spiritual lights intertwined, transforming into a brilliant and powerful spiritual beam that fiercely impacted the target location.

This time the attack was indeed effective. After being hit by the spiritual light column, the evil spirit phantom let out a shrill scream, and the entire group began to tremble violently. The originally illusory figures became even more unstable, and the evil power was also rapidly dissipating. Many evil spirit phantoms disappeared directly under this blow, and the remaining ones did not dare to continue attacking. They fled towards the surroundings of the stone platform and hid in the evil spirit near the black jars, and did not dare to show up for the time being.

After repelling the evil spirit phantom, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although everyone had consumed a lot of spiritual energy and had suffered some injuries, fortunately they had temporarily escaped danger and gained a moment of peace.

"What on earth are these evil spirits and phantoms? Why are they so troublesome? And it feels like they were summoned by humans to guard this place. The conspiracy behind this must be complicated." Chen Yu said with a frown. Everyone also looked solemn and nodded in agreement.

They knew that to understand all this, they had to start with the stone platform and the black jars. So, they cautiously approached the stone platform again, this time even more cautiously, avoiding triggering the traps again. Lin Yun carefully observed the details of the stone platform and the formation, trying to find more clues about the mysterious evil force and their conspiracy. The others assisted, drawing on their knowledge and experience to analyze the purpose of these evil objects and the secrets hidden behind them, hoping to find key information to further track down this evil force and prevent their conspiracy from continuing.

After careful inspection and analysis, they discovered a very obscure mark carved into the base of the stone platform. This mark resembled a twisted claw, emitting a faintly sinister aura. It bore similarities to some of the marks they had previously found on the black-robed man's possession, and was likely the unique symbol of this mysterious evil force.

"It seems we have found the right place. This mark should be left by them. Maybe by following this clue, we can find their lair or more relevant information." Lin Yun said, with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. Everyone also felt that this was an important breakthrough, and new hope was ignited in their hearts.

However, just as they were about to further study the mark or look for other clues, a noisy sound of footsteps and low roars suddenly came from outside the cave, as if a large group of people were rushing towards the cave, and judging from the evil aura coming from there, they had no good intentions. It was very likely that members of this mysterious evil force had noticed the movement in the cave and came to check the situation. Everyone suddenly became nervous again, and hurriedly prepared for battle, waiting for the upcoming new crisis.

As the footsteps got closer, a powerful evil pressure spread into the cave. Everyone could feel that the number of enemies coming this time was large, and their cultivation was probably not low, and they were stronger than the black-robed man they had encountered before.

Soon, a group of cultivators in black robes with ferocious faces appeared at the entrance of the cave. They looked at Lin Yun and others in the cave with fierce and greedy eyes, as if they saw prey.

"Hmph, you dare to trespass into our forbidden area? You ignorant fellows, don't even think about leaving here alive today!" One of the leading black-robed men said viciously. With a wave of his hand, the black-robed men behind him unveiled their magic weapons, ready to attack.
