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

The atmosphere in the palace instantly reached a fever pitch. Lin Yun and the others stood on full alert, their eyes fixed on the mysterious group that had suddenly intruded.

This mysterious group of people wore uniform black robes embroidered with strange dark red runes, emitting a faintly sinister aura. Leading them was a burly middle-aged man with a cold, venomous gaze that darted back and forth over Lin Yun and the others, as if assessing their strength.

"Hand over what you got from the sphere, and maybe I can leave your bodies intact." The middle-aged man spoke, his voice low and hoarse, but full of unquestionable threat.

Lin Yun snorted coldly and said, "The opportunities in these ruins have always been obtained through ability. You are robbing them so brutally, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven?"

"Divine punishment? Humph, in this world of cultivating immortals, strength is everything. If you know what's good for you, hand over the treasures obediently, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" A tall and thin man next to the middle-aged man spoke up, playing with a dagger emitting a faint light in his hand, his eyes full of greed and ferocity.

Su Yao frowned, leaned close to Lin Yun and whispered, "There's something wrong with the aura of these people. They don't seem like righteous cultivators."

Lin Yun nodded slightly. He too had sensed this strange feeling. But at this moment, they had no way out; they had no choice but to fight.

"Then let's see if you have the guts to take it away!" Lin Yun shouted, launching the first attack. He flashed forward, swung his sword, and a sharp sword energy slashed towards the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man didn't expect Lin Yun to attack so quickly, and his expression changed slightly, but he reacted very quickly. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a black spiritual power shield instantly appeared in front of him. The sword energy struck the shield, splashing a black spiritual power ripple.

"Let's go together, don't let them run away!" The middle-aged man gave an order, and the group of mysterious people behind him drew out their weapons, either swords, staffs, or various strange magic weapons, and rushed towards Lin Yun and others.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao quickly formed seals with his hands, muttering something. In an instant, the temperature around him rose sharply, and flames shot out from his hands, sweeping towards the mysterious group like flaming snakes. Wherever the flames passed, the air was scorched and twisted.

The other team members were not to be outdone. They each used their own spells and magic weapons to engage in a fierce melee with the mysterious man.

For a moment, the palace was filled with shining light, and the roar of spiritual power colliding, the clanging of magic weapons colliding, and the shouts of the crowd were intertwined together, creating chaos.

Lin Yun moved freely among the crowd, relying on his agility and superb swordsmanship to continuously attack the enemy. Every swing of his sword contained a powerful spiritual force, and wherever he struck, there would be a mysterious person injured and retreating.

However, the strength of these mysterious individuals should not be underestimated. Not only do they work together in perfect harmony, but they also seem to have practiced some special technique, making their bodies extremely tough, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to cause fatal damage to them.

During the fierce battle, a team member was accidentally hit on the back by a mysterious man's magic weapon. He flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and his face instantly turned pale as paper.

"Be careful!" Lin Yun was extremely anxious when he saw this. He wanted to go over to rescue, but he was entangled by several mysterious people and could not escape.

Su Yao saw this scene, and a flicker of determination flashed in her eyes. She raised her hands and chanted an ancient spell. As the spell was chanted, the spiritual power in her body became more and more intense. Then, soft rays of light emanated from her body, flying towards the injured team member like silk threads. The moment they touched the team member's body, they began to repair his injuries.

Just as everyone was locked in a bitter battle with the mysterious figure, a new incident occurred within the palace. The stone platform upon which the colorful sphere had been placed began to vibrate violently, and rays of light shot up from the platform, illuminating the entire palace as brightly as day.

At the same time, some huge spiral patterns appeared on the walls of the palace. These patterns slowly rotated, like portals leading to an unknown world.

"What's going on?" someone exclaimed.

Lin Yun's mind raced, remembering a similar mechanism being triggered while exploring the ruins. He shouted, "Everyone, be careful! This might be the ruins' defense mechanism being triggered. Stay away from those vortexes!"

But those mysterious people ignored Lin Yun's warning. When some of them saw these whirlpools, greed flashed in their eyes. They mistakenly thought that there were more precious treasures hidden inside, so they rushed towards the whirlpools.

"Idiot, are you trying to kill yourself?" Lin Yun cursed inwardly.

Sure enough, when the first mysterious person approached the vortex, a powerful suction force came out of the vortex and instantly sucked him in. The mysterious person didn't even have time to scream before disappearing without a trace.

Other mysterious people who approached the vortex also suffered the same fate and were swallowed by the vortex one by one.

Seeing this scene, the remaining mysterious people realized the danger and stopped rushing towards the whirlpool. Instead, they vented their anger on Lin Yun and others, and their attacks became more fierce.

Lin Yun and the others felt the pressure double, but they also knew they had to hold on. If they were defeated by these mysterious people, not only would their treasures be taken away, but their lives would also be in danger.

"Everyone hold on, we will definitely be able to repel them!" Lin Yun shouted loudly to boost morale.

Everyone gritted their teeth, mustered their courage again, and fought a desperate battle with the mysterious man.

At a crucial moment in the battle, Lin Yun suddenly remembered a fusion spell recorded in the jade slip he had found within the colorful sphere. This spell required everyone to work together, pooling their spiritual energy to form a powerful combined force that could unleash unimaginable power.

Lin Yun made a prompt decision and shouted, "Everyone, listen to my command. Let's perform the fusion spell together!"

When everyone heard this, they nodded. Although they were all exhausted at this time, they were willing to give it a try in order to survive and to protect the treasure they had worked so hard to obtain.

So, under Lin Yun's command, everyone quickly adjusted their state and began to slowly gather their spiritual power together according to the method recorded in the jade slip.

Lin Yun stood at the front. As the leader, he guided the flow of everyone's spiritual power to ensure that the spiritual power could be smoothly integrated.

As everyone's spiritual power continued to converge, a powerful light gradually formed around them. This light became brighter and brighter, and finally formed a huge ball of light, which contained the power to destroy heaven and earth.

"Now, release!" Lin Yun shouted and pushed his hands forward.

A huge ball of light blasted towards the mysterious man like a cannonball.

When the mysterious man saw the huge ball of light coming, his face changed drastically and he used his strongest defensive measures to try to resist it.

But the power of this combined spell was too strong. Wherever the ball of light went, the defenses of the mysterious people were broken. Those mysterious people were swept up by the power of the ball of light like ants, and then fell heavily to the ground. Some were even blown into pieces.

The middle-aged man in the lead saw this scene, a flicker of fear in his eyes. However, he was the leader of this mysterious group, and he was quite powerful. He gritted his teeth, quickly forming seals with his hands, and focused all his spiritual power on a magical weapon, a shield emitting a black light, in an attempt to use it to block the fatal blow.

The ball of light collided with the shield, making a deafening roar. The entire palace shook violently under the impact, and stones fell from the walls, as if the world was about to end.

Under this powerful impact, although the middle-aged man's shield was not completely broken, countless cracks appeared on it. He was shocked and retreated dozens of steps. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and his face became extremely ugly.

"Retreat!" The middle-aged man knew that the situation was hopeless, so he made a prompt decision and issued the order to retreat.

The remaining mysterious people heard the order and fled out of the palace as if they had been pardoned.

Lin Yun and the others breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the mysterious man fleeing. However, they did not dare to slack off. Because the danger in the ruins was far from over, and they still needed to continue exploring.

"Everyone, quickly recover your spiritual power and treat your wounds. We still have to continue exploring these ruins." Lin Yun said, his eyes full of determination.

Everyone nodded, took out the pills and started to circulate their spiritual power to heal their wounds.
