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

Upon learning that the aura of the person secretly watching resembled that of the sect that had previously attempted to seize the inheritance, Lin Xiao, Su Yao, and I felt even more depressed. This immortal sect should have been a pure land where we could cultivate and study the inheritance in peace, but now it seemed to be shrouded in the shadow of greed and strife.

"It seems that those sects and forces are determined to obtain this inheritance. They even dare to send people to infiltrate the Immortal Sect." Lin Xiao said gritting his teeth, his eyes full of anger and worry.

My brow furrowed, pondering a response. "We must inform the man in white as soon as possible. As the guardian of the Immortal Sect, he must have a way to deal with this secret spying and strengthen the Immortal Sect's defenses to prevent those sects from taking further action."

Su Yao nodded in agreement. "Let's go find him now without further ado."

So, the three of us hurriedly left the courtyard and headed in the direction the man in white usually went. Along the way, we saw that the disciples of the Immortal Sect were still practicing or other matters in an orderly manner, completely unaware of the hidden crisis, which made us even more anxious.

We finally found the man in white, a secluded pavilion deep within the Immortal Sect. We hurried forward and explained our purpose to the guard at the door. After the guard went inside to report, he led us into the pavilion.

The man in white was sitting at an antique desk, flipping through a tome emitting a mysterious glow. When he saw us come in, he raised his head slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"What's the rush?" he asked calmly.

I took a deep breath and told him everything about how we noticed someone secretly spying on us in the Immortal Sect and how we suspected that it was people sent by those sects and forces that had previously infiltrated.

The man in white listened, his expression changing slightly, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He slowly put down the book in his hand, stood up, and paced around the room in deep thought.

"This matter is indeed tricky. The Immortal Sect has always had strict access control, and it is difficult for outsiders to sneak in. If it was really done by those sects, then they must have gone through a lot of trouble, and there may be other forces behind the scenes helping them secretly." The voice of the man in white was low and serious.

"Then what should we do?" Lin Xiao asked anxiously.

The man in white stopped, looked at us, and said, "Don't panic yet. I will immediately arrange for personnel to strengthen the Immortal Sect's patrols and defenses, and make sure to find this person who is secretly spying on us. In the meantime, you must also be more careful and continue to practice without slacking off. Master the secrets of this inheritance as soon as possible. Perhaps only when your own strength grows stronger can you truly cope with the crises that are coming."

The three of us nodded in agreement, feeling somewhat relieved. After all, with the man in white stepping forward to handle this matter, we believed that the power of the Immortal Sect would be able to resolve this crisis.

However, things did not develop as we wished.

In the following days, although the Immortal Sect strengthened its defenses, the secret spying still occurred from time to time. Moreover, the situation seemed to have become more serious.

Not only the three of us, but also some other disciples of the Immortal Sect have noticed something unusual during their training or daily activities. Some disciples reported that in some remote corners, they could often feel the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy, as if something was secretly spying on the entire Immortal Sect.

An atmosphere of unease began to spread within the Immortal Sect, with the disciples discussing and speculating about what had happened. As we knew the cause of the incident, our worries grew day by day.

One day, on my way to the Sutra Library, I overheard two elders of the Immortal Sect talking in low voices.

"The situation in the Immortal Sect has been really abnormal these days. I always feel that there must be something fishy behind this. Do you still remember the secret of the Immortal Sect many years ago?" An elder said with a frown.

"You mean... the thing about the lost inheritance and the mysterious force?" Another elder's expression changed, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

I had an idea and deliberately slowed down my pace, pretending to admire the flowers and plants nearby, but in fact I pricked up my ears to listen carefully to their conversation.

"Yes, it's that incident. A similar situation to the current one happened in the Immortal Sect back then. Someone was secretly spying, and the spiritual power was fluctuating abnormally. In the end, a mysterious force was involved. They tried to snatch a lost inheritance from the Immortal Sect, causing quite a commotion." The first elder said in a low voice.

"Could it be that the mysterious force has made a comeback? Or have they colluded with those sects and forces?" The second elder speculated with a worried look on his face.

Hearing this, I was shocked. I had never thought that this immortal sect had such a secret behind it. Moreover, the current situation seemed to be exactly the same as before. Could it be that the mysterious force had reappeared and united with those sects and forces, targeting the inheritance in our hands?

I didn't dare to delay and hurried back to tell Lin Xiao and Su Yao the news.

After hearing this, they were also shocked.

"What should we do? If this is true, then we will not only face the plundering from those sects, but also a mysterious force eyeing us from behind." Lin Xiao said anxiously.

Su Yao also frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Perhaps we should take the initiative and not just passively wait for the Immortal Sect to investigate. We can try to start with some clues left by the person who is secretly peeping, and see if we can find their hiding place or more clues about them."

I nodded in agreement. "Su Yao is right. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Besides, we now have a certain level of strength. Coupled with our understanding of the environment of this immortal sect, we may be able to do something."

So the three of us decided to investigate again. This time, we were more cautious and meticulous, not missing any possible clues.

We started from the place where we had spotted the shadow before, and followed his escape route, carefully searching every blade of grass and tree around him, hoping to find some traces such as residual spiritual power or footprints.

After a hard search, we finally found something unusual on the edge of a remote forest.

The grass there seemed to have been trampled, and the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations, though faint, were clearly different from those elsewhere. We followed these traces deeper into the forest, feeling a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

As we went deeper, a faint eerie atmosphere filled us. The forest became increasingly quiet and eerie, with strange noises coming from time to time, as if something was watching our every move from the shadows.

As we continued to move forward cautiously, we suddenly saw a hidden cave in front of us. The entrance of the cave was covered by some vines and weeds. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find that there was a cave here.

The three of us exchanged glances, each seeing a mixture of alarm and excitement. This cave was so secluded, could it be the hiding place of the person watching from the shadows?

We slowly approached the cave, and as we reached its entrance, we sensed a powerful surge of spiritual energy emanating from within. This surge was mixed with a familiar aura, similar to the auras of those sects and forces we had sensed before.

"It seems that this is their lair." I whispered, while tightening the inheritance secret book in my hand, ready to deal with possible dangers.

Lin Xiao also drew his sword, and Su Yao exerted her spiritual power to the extreme, ready to launch an attack at any time.

Just as we were about to enter the cave to find out what was going on, a low laugh suddenly came from inside the cave.

"Haha, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." A gloomy voice came from the cave, echoing in this quiet forest, making our hearts suddenly tighten.

Who is this voice?
