Lin Yun and the others quickened their pace, finally passing through the thinning black mist and stepping into the mysterious underground valley. As soon as they emerged from the mist, an even stronger aura of evil assaulted them, causing everyone to frown and become extremely alert.

The valley before me was a scene of deathly silence. The surrounding mountain walls were steep and rugged, with jagged rocks covered in black lines, as if they were the traces of some evil force's erosion. The light in the valley was dim, with only a few rocks emitting an eerie red light, barely illuminating part of the area.

The ground was covered with cracked soil, with black mist faintly seeping out from the cracks. Occasionally, low roars and painful roars could be heard coming from the depths of the valley, as if some terrifying creature was imprisoned here, venting its anger and unwillingness.

"Everyone, be careful. There are dangers everywhere here. Let's explore inside slowly and see if we can find the lair of the evil forces." Lin Yun said in a low voice. Everyone nodded, holding the magic weapons in their hands tightly, and walked cautiously towards the depths of the valley.

As they journeyed along the valley, they discovered that objects emanating a sinister auras were scattered throughout. Some were black stone pillars inscribed with runes, the runes gleaming with an eerie light and continuously releasing strands of malevolent energy, as if echoing the evil forces of the entire valley. Others were bizarrely shaped statues depicting hideous demons, their eyes seemingly alive, gleaming with a chilling, eerie light that frightened anyone who gazed upon them.

In a relatively open place, everyone also saw a huge pool of blood. The blood in the pool was rolling and surging, emitting a pungent smell of blood. Some black spiritual crystals were suspended above the blood. These crystals continued to absorb the evil power of the blood pool and became more and more concentrated, as if they were breeding something extremely evil.

"This place is too weird. These evil things must be tools used by the mysterious evil forces to enhance their strength or plot conspiracies. We have to be careful not to trigger any traps." Su Yao reminded. Everyone knew that this place was full of dangers. They walked on thin ice with every step and kept an eye on the movements around them, just in case.

However, despite everyone's extreme caution, an accident still occurred. Chen Yu accidentally touched a black bead placed on a small stone platform while passing by. The bead instantly illuminated with a dazzling black light. Then, a low humming sound echoed throughout the valley, and the ground began to tremble violently. The seemingly static evil creatures around them seemed to be activated, releasing powerful evil spiritual energy.

The runes on the black stone pillars shone brightly, and black spiritual rays shot out from the top of the stone pillars, interweaving with each other to form a huge spiritual cage that trapped everyone inside; the demon statues also moved, they took heavy steps and slowly walked towards the crowd. With every step, a footprint emitting black smoke was left on the ground, and some weapons emitting evil aura appeared out of thin air in their hands, obviously preparing to attack everyone; and the blood in the blood pool was like boiling, constantly spraying into the air, turning into blood arrows, shooting towards everyone, and the whole valley instantly fell into a chaotic situation full of dangers.

"Oh no, the mechanism has been triggered. Everyone, find a way to break the formation!" Lin Yun shouted. Everyone quickly came to their senses and cast out spiritual shields to prepare for this sudden attack. However, they all knew very well that the crisis they faced this time was probably more difficult than any other time before. It would not be easy to break the formation and escape.

Faced with such a powerful evil spiritual attack, everyone put up their spiritual shields and tried their best to resist. Lin Yun waved his magic staff and performed a more advanced spiritual power fusion technique in the "Hunyuan Spirit Method", fusing spiritual powers of different attributes together to enhance the defense of the shield, and at the same time trying to find a flaw from the intersection of light in the spiritual power cage; Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, and the music turned into spiritual power ripples containing the power of purification, rushing towards the demon statues and blood arrows, hoping to weaken their attack power, but these evil creatures seemed to have a certain resistance to the power of purification, and the effect was not ideal; Chen Yu hid his body and shuttled through the gaps in the spiritual power cage, trying to find the key to controlling the formation, but the formation was extremely complicated and he could not figure it out for a while; Zhao Gang stood in front again, using his sturdy shield to withstand the impact of the blood arrows. Every impact made his arms numb and his body injured in many places, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, never retreating a single step. Everyone was caught in an extremely difficult and bitter battle.

During the fierce battle, Lin Yun carefully observed the spiritual power fluctuations of the spiritual power cage. He found that although the entire cage seemed to be an integrated whole, there was occasionally a slight disorder in the flow of spiritual power at the intersection of light in the northwest corner. Perhaps there was a flaw in the formation. However, if he wanted to get close to and attack that position, he had to get rid of the demon statues that were pressing forward step by step first.

"Everyone, let's concentrate our strength to deal with these demon statues first. They are blocking our way to break the formation. After we deal with them, we will attack the flaws in the formation!" Lin Yun shouted loudly. After hearing this, everyone adjusted their attack strategies, gathered their spiritual power, and launched an attack on the demon statues.

Suddenly, various spiritual lights intertwined, transforming into powerful spiritual beams that blasted towards the demonic statue. After these spiritual beams struck the statue, a dull roar erupted. The statue was knocked back several steps by the powerful spiritual impact, and some cracks appeared on its body. However, it did not stop, continuing to brandish its weapons and rush towards the crowd, its attack becoming increasingly fierce.

"Don't be discouraged! Their weak spot might be in their heads. Let's focus our attack there!" Lin Yun warned again. Hearing this, everyone launched another attack, this time aiming for the statues' heads. After a fierce assault, one of the statues' heads was finally struck by the spiritual energy beam, shattering with a loud bang. The entire statue then ceased moving and collapsed to the ground in a pile of rubble.

Seeing that this method was effective, everyone was encouraged and continued to attack the heads of other statues. With everyone's concerted efforts, the remaining demon statues were destroyed one after another, fell to the ground and lost their ability to move. Everyone temporarily got rid of some threats, but the attacks of the spiritual cage and the blood pool still did not stop. They had to hurry to break the formation and get out of the predicament.

After dealing with the demon statue, everyone rushed towards the flaw in the northwest corner of the spiritual energy cage, where the light rays intersected. Lin Yun was the first to reach the flaw. He took a deep breath, gathered the remaining spiritual energy in his body into the tip of his spiritual staff, and then stabbed it fiercely at that spot, muttering something at the same time, trying to disrupt the spiritual energy circulation there and break the balance of the formation.

The others also poured their spiritual energy into Lin Yun's staff, aiding him in his attack. As everyone poured in their spiritual energy, the light in the northwest corner of the spiritual cage began to flicker, and the tightly interwoven spiritual energy began to become disordered. Then, with a crackling sound, the light in that area began to break, and a small gap appeared in the cage.

"Now, everyone, hurry!" Lin Yun shouted. Without hesitation, everyone unleashed their flying magic weapons and rushed towards the gap. The moment they passed through the gap, the entire spiritual energy cage collapsed, transforming into tiny specks of black spiritual energy that dissipated into the air. They had finally managed to temporarily escape this perilous situation. However, everyone was exhausted, their spiritual energy depleted. They hurriedly took out their elixirs, swallowed them, and sat in meditation to regulate their breathing and restore their spiritual energy, all the while keeping a vigilant eye on the surroundings for any further dangers.

After their spiritual energy had recovered somewhat, they continued their journey deeper into the valley. The evil aura grew stronger the further they went, but they also discovered some even more suspicious signs. At the far end of the valley, a massive building appeared. Its architecture was eerie and eerie, its walls constructed of massive black stones, engraved with various sinister runes and patterns. The gates were tightly shut, and before them stood two towering demonic stone statues, their eyes glowing red, as if guarding the building and preventing anyone from approaching.

"That building looks very suspicious. Maybe it is the lair of that mysterious evil force. We have to find a way to go in and take a look." Lin Yun said. Everyone also felt that this was a key point, and immediately approached the building. But before they got close, a group of black-robed people suddenly rushed out from around the building. The evil aura on these black-robed people was stronger than those they had encountered before, and their cultivation was obviously higher. After they saw Lin Yun and others, they showed fierce and vigilant looks in their eyes. Obviously, they would not let everyone get close to the building easily. A new battle seemed inevitable.

The group of black-robed men surrounded the crowd in a fan-shaped formation. One of them, who looked like the leader, stepped forward and coldly sized up Lin Yun and the others. He said, "You're truly persistent. You actually managed to find your way here. But today is your burial place. You dare to become our enemy? You're courting death!"

With that, he waved his hand, and the black-robed men unsheathed their magical weapons, ready for battle. The magical weapons and spiritual spells they unleashed were filled with an aura of pure evil. Some could summon massive, evil spiritual storms, mingled with all manner of hideous evil spirits, sweeping towards the crowd. Others cast vicious spiritual curses. Once struck by a curse, the crowd felt as if they were being pierced by thousands of needles simultaneously, causing unbearable pain and slowing their spiritual energy. The situation was extremely unfavorable for Lin Yun and his companions, and they faced another life-or-death battle.

Facing this group of powerful black-robed men, Lin Yun and the others did not dare to be careless and immediately unleashed their strongest spiritual defense and counterattack methods. Lin Yun waved his spiritual staff with both hands and unleashed a powerful spell from the "Hunyuan Spiritual Method" that combined multiple spiritual powers, trying to resist the invasion of the evil spiritual storm. At the same time, he counterattacked the black-robed men. Brilliant spiritual light shot out from the top of the staff, colliding with the evil spirits in the storm, making bursts of roaring sounds. Su Yao played the Lingxi Jade Flute, and the rhythm transformed into spiritual blades containing the power of purification, shooting towards the black-robed men. However, these black-robed men seemed to have a stronger resistance to the power of purification. After the spiritual blades hit them, they only made their bodies stagnate slightly, without causing much damage. substantial damage; Chen Yu hid his body, trying to go around the back of the black-robed men to launch a sneak attack, but several of the black-robed men seemed to have special spiritual perception abilities, and could always detect his whereabouts in advance, making it difficult for him to find a suitable opportunity to attack; Zhao Gang stood in front again, using his sturdy shield to block the frontal attack for everyone, but every time he resisted, he endured a huge impact force, his arms were numb from the shock, and his body was injured in many places. Everyone was caught in an extremely difficult and bitter battle. It seemed that breaking through the encirclement of the black-robed men and approaching the suspicious building was becoming out of reach.

Just as everyone felt they were about to be overwhelmed by the black-robed man's attack, suddenly, the strange rocks and evil objects in the valley, originally corroded by evil forces, began to undergo strange changes, as if stimulated by something. The rune lights on some black stone pillars became chaotic, releasing chaotic spiritual waves. These waves interfered with the black-robed man's evil spiritual power, causing some flaws in his attacks. The blood in the blood pool no longer sprayed towards the crowd, but instead surged towards the black-robed man. The evil power contained in the blood clashed with the black-robed man's own strength, slowing their movements. Many of the black-robed men were even entangled in the blood, unable to escape for a while.

"Everyone, pay attention! This is a good opportunity. While they're preoccupied, let's break out and rush towards that building!" Lin Yun shouted. Everyone's spirits perked up, and they seized this rare opportunity. Together, they rushed towards the weak point in the black-robed encirclement, attempting to break through the siege, enter the suspicious building, explore the lair of the mysterious evil force, and uncover their conspiracy. But will they succeed? Everything remains unknown, and the subsequent story will slowly unfold.
