I was reborn as a young master in an invincible family of immortals
Chapter 3 Crisis lurks
After Lin Yun showed his prowess in the spiritual power test, the Lin family's view of him changed significantly. The previous slight disdain gradually gave way to awe and curiosity. Even some of the elders in the family looked at him with a little more expectation.
However, Lin Yun did not slack off. He knew that although his performance temporarily intimidated some people, it also undoubtedly put him at the center of public attention. The hidden danger was like a surging undercurrent that could swallow him up at any time.
That morning, Lin Yun, as usual, went to a quiet valley behind his family's mountain to practice. The spiritual energy here was relatively rich, and there were few people visiting, making it his favorite place to practice.
Lin Yun sat cross-legged on a boulder, eyes closed, concentrating. Just as he was about to channel his spiritual energy to continue his cultivation, he suddenly sensed a strange aura. He opened his eyes abruptly and glanced around warily. He saw a faint shadow glimmering in the surrounding woods, and a premonition of danger welled up in his heart.
"Who?" Lin Yun shouted in a deep voice, while secretly mobilizing the spiritual power in his body and preparing to deal with emergencies.
As he shouted, dark figures slowly emerged from the woods. They turned out to be several masked men in black, exuding a murderous aura, clearly harboring ill intentions.
"Lin Yun, today is the day you die." One of the men in black said coldly, his voice hoarse and deep, making it impossible to tell his true nature.
Lin Yun's heart sank. He had expected someone to harm him, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon. However, he quickly regained his composure, his gaze coldly sweeping over the men in black before him. He said, "Hmph, you little rats, you think you can take my life? You're really overestimating yourself."
Having said that, Lin Yun knew in his heart that the spiritual power fluctuations of these men in black were not weak, and they were definitely not ordinary people. Today's battle would be extremely dangerous.
"Stop talking nonsense and get started!" The leading man in black gave an order, and the others immediately pounced towards Lin Yun like ghosts.
Lin Yun did not dare to delay. He flashed and quickly retreated. At the same time, he quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. A spiritual power shield instantly unfolded in front of him.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The men in black attacked one after another, their spiritual attacks slamming into Lin Yun's shield with a deafening roar. The shield rippled under the fierce attack, but fortunately, it could hold up for the time being.
While maintaining his shield, Lin Yun searched for an opportunity to strike back. He locked his gaze on one of the men in black, and taking advantage of a gap in his attack, he suddenly withdrew some of his shield's spiritual power, transforming it into a sharp spiritual blade, and shot towards the man in black.
"Ah!" The man in black was unable to dodge and was hit on the shoulder by the sharp spiritual blade. He let out a scream and his body suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Lin Yun was delighted and was about to press on with his victory, but the other men in black saw this and attacked even more fiercely, instantly eliminating his advantage.
The two sides engaged in a fierce melee. Lin Yun, outnumbered, gradually began to feel overwhelmed. Although he relied on his previous life's combat experience and the skills he had acquired during this period of training to repeatedly neutralize the attacks of the men in black, the other side was outnumbered and coordinated well, and he began to suffer multiple injuries.
"No, if I continue like this, I will suffer sooner or later. I have to find a way to break out." Lin Yun thought to himself.
At this moment, Lin Yun suddenly remembered a spell to conceal his breath that he had seen in an ancient book before. Although he had not yet fully mastered it, he could only take the risk and give it a try.
Lin Yun seized the opportunity and, after blocking another attack from the man in black, pretended to be exhausted and his body was shaky. Seeing this, the man in black thought he had an opportunity and slowed down his attack, preparing to take Lin Yun down in one fell swoop.
Just as they approached, Lin Yun suddenly cast the spell to conceal his breath, and the whole person disappeared from the spot in an instant, as if he had never appeared.
The man in black was stunned for a moment and hurriedly searched everywhere for Lin Yun's trace, but found nothing.
"Hmph, you're lucky, kid. I'll let you go this time, but I'll kill you next time!" The leading man in black said hatefully, and then quickly left with the others.
After the man in black had gone far away, Lin Yun emerged from his hiding place. His face was pale, and he felt sharp pain from the wounds on his body, but his eyes remained firm.
He knew this attack was no accident; someone must be secretly orchestrating it, and he already had a few suspects in mind. The path to immortality was truly fraught with thorns, but how could Lin Yun retreat so easily?
After returning to his family, Lin Yun kept the incident secret, quietly returning to his own residence and tending to his wounds. He would secretly investigate the matter, uncover the culprit behind it, and then face all challenges with even greater strength, continuing to write his own legend in this world of immortal cultivation and solving the mystery of rebirth.
But the situation didn't end there. Lin Yun's every move within the family seemed to be secretly monitored. When he went to the library to borrow books, he discovered that several classics that were originally placed in their designated areas and were helpful for his cultivation were missing. When he asked the administrator, he was only vaguely able to explain why.
When he was practicing breathing techniques in the courtyard, he always felt that there were some vague eyes watching him, but when he turned around to look, he could find nothing.
Lin Wan'er also noticed her brother's unusual behavior. She concernedly asked Lin Yun what had happened, but Lin Yun simply smiled and reassured her that he was too tired from practicing and was becoming paranoid. But Lin Wan'er knew her brother must be in trouble and was simply keeping quiet to avoid worrying her.
In this oppressive atmosphere, Lin Yun began to cultivate even more diligently. He was no longer limited to the cultivation resources within his family, but began to use his connections to inquire about any opportunities or spiritual objects outside that could quickly improve his strength.
One day, Lin Yun learned from a friendly family member that in the depths of the misty forest not far from the Lin family, there was said to be a thousand-year-old spiritual herb. If one could obtain it, not only could heal his injuries, but he could also greatly improve his spiritual power.
Lin Yun was tempted. Although he knew that the Misty Forest was full of dangers, with not only ferocious monsters but also various unknown dangers, in order to improve his strength as quickly as possible and get out of his current predicament, he decided to take the risk and give it a try.
He knew very well that only by becoming strong could he truly gain a foothold in this world of immortal cultivation, not be afraid of those secret conspiracies and tricks, and continue to move towards the goal of solving the mystery of rebirth.
