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

On the battlefield outside the Immortal Sect, with the successful cracking of the "Shadow Erosion Box," the black vortex gradually vanished, the shadow army ceased to surge forth, and the atmosphere, once filled with a strong evil aura, finally began to dissipate. The joy of victory spread through the hearts of the Immortal Sect disciples, but exhaustion also washed over them like a tide.

After I cast that risky spell to absorb and transform the evil power, my body was extremely weak. At this moment, I felt dizzy. If Lin Xiao and Su Yao had not supported me in time, I would probably have fallen to the ground.

"Lin Yun, you took too much risk. That just now, you almost..." Lin Xiao looked at me with a worried look on his face. There was a hint of blame in his words, but more of concern.

I forced a smile and said weakly, "It's okay. As long as we can stop the Shadow Cult's conspiracy and protect the Immortal Sect, this little risk is nothing."

Su Yao sighed softly and said, "You should have a good rest first. Thanks to you this time, otherwise we really don't know what to do."

With the help of everyone, I was taken to a makeshift tent within the Immortal Sect to rest and recuperate. The other Immortal Sect disciples who participated in the battle, including the elders and disciples of the elite team, also found a place to sit or lie down, and began to waste time recovering their spiritual power and bandaging their wounds.

The Immortal Sect's guardian, the white-robed man, and several key elders arrived outside the tent. They gazed upon the exhausted disciples with a mixture of relief and heartache. They were relieved that, despite such a dire crisis, the disciples had displayed such tenacious fighting spirit and exceptional strength, successfully repelling the Shadow Cult's attack. They were also distressed, however, because seeing the various injuries on the disciples' bodies, they understood the immense pressure they had endured during this battle.

"This time, thanks to everyone's heroic fighting, especially the courageous actions of Lin Yun and other disciples at the critical moment, the Immortal Sect was able to temporarily escape this disaster." The man in white said loudly, his voice spread throughout the tent, and a warm feeling surged in the hearts of the disciples who were resting.

“However, we must not take it lightly. Although the Shadow Cult’s conspiracy was thwarted this time, they will never give up and will definitely plan new actions.” An elder reminded solemnly.

Everyone nodded, knowing that this battle between good and evil was far from over.

"Next, we need to do two things," the man in white continued. "First, arrange for the disciples to rest and recuperate, and return to peak condition as soon as possible. At the same time, we must strengthen the treatment of the injured disciples and ensure their speedy recovery. Second, we must re-examine the Xianzong's defense system and, based on the Shadow Cult's attack methods, identify any loopholes and improve them. Furthermore, we must conduct a comprehensive review of this incident and analyze the Shadow Cult's patterns and methods of action so that we can better respond to their subsequent plots."

The elders took their orders and began to make arrangements. Disciples skilled in healing were gathered to form a medical team, which shuttled between the tents, performing healing spells and bandaging wounds for injured fellow disciples. The elders in charge of the Xian Sect's defenses, along with some of their disciples, carefully inspected and adjusted the defensive formations within and outside the sect, ensuring they were even more robust and secure.

While I was resting and recuperating, although I was physically weak, my mind was constantly thinking about matters related to the Shadow Cult. I knew that only by gaining a deeper understanding of the Shadow Cult's plots and methods could I better deal with them in future battles.

"Lin Xiao, Su Yao, what new moves do you think the Shadow Cult will make next?" I lay on the couch in the tent and asked the two people beside me softly.

Lin Xiao frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "They've suffered a loss this time, so they'll definitely seek revenge. Furthermore, they're still obsessed with that evil inheritance, so they might even go even more frantically searching for the rest, and then look for an opportunity to attack the Immortal Sect again."

Su Yao nodded in agreement and said, "Well, I think so too. Since they have exposed some of their strength and means, their next action may be more covert and more difficult to guard against. We must be prepared in advance."

"That's right. We must make use of all the lessons learned from this battle and continue to study the clues brought back from the mysterious stone chamber. Maybe we can find more information about the Shadow Cult's stronghold and evil heritage and disrupt their plans in advance." I said, with a hint of determination in my eyes.

While the Immortal Sect was busy with reorganization, recovery, and countermeasures, there was a gloomy and depressing atmosphere within the Shadow Cult.

In a secret base of the Shadow Cult, several high-ranking figures of the Shadow Cult were sitting around a huge black stone table, discussing the failure of the operation with gloomy faces.

"Humph, I didn't expect those guys from the Immortal Sect to be able to crack our 'Shadow Erosion Bone Box'. How despicable!" An elder in a black robe angrily slammed the table and said, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

"This failure has caused us heavy losses. Not only was the 'Shadow Bone Erosion Box' that we spent a lot of manpower and resources to develop destroyed, but we also lost a lot of shadow troops. This is a big blow to our plan." Another senior official frowned and said in a heavy tone.

"However, this also allows us to see the strength of the Immortal Sect. They are not so easy to deal with. Next, we have to change our strategy and can't act rashly like this time." A seemingly calm and composed leader of the Shadow Cult said slowly.

"Then in your opinion, what should we do?" asked the black-robed elder.

"We need to hide our whereabouts more deeply and continue searching for the rest of the evil inheritance. Once we have gathered all the parts, we will find a perfect opportunity to launch a fatal attack on the Immortal Sect. By then, no matter how strong their defense is, they will not be able to stop our plan." The calm senior figure said with a cold light in his eyes.

"But how can we search for the evil inheritance more covertly? The Immortal Sect must be stepping up its research on those clues now, and maybe they will find it before us." Another senior official expressed his concern.

"That's okay. We can use some of our secret contacts in the world of immortal cultivation to help us keep an eye out for relevant news. At the same time, we can also send out some more secretive teams to specifically look for the evil inheritance. These team members must undergo rigorous screening and training to ensure that they can complete their tasks without revealing their identities." The calm senior figure said confidently.

"Well, this is a good idea. In addition, we cannot let the Immortal Sect go. We need to create some small troubles for them from time to time to make them busy dealing with them and unable to concentrate on studying clues and strengthening defenses." The black-robed elder nodded in agreement.

Therefore, the top leaders of the Shadow Cult discussed and decided to send a more secretive team to search for the evil inheritance on the one hand, and on the other hand began to plan how to create some minor troubles for the Immortal Sect in order to disrupt their rhythm and pave the way for the subsequent fatal blow.

In the Immortal Sect, after a period of recuperation and recovery, the disciples' spiritual power and injuries had improved to varying degrees. The white-robed man, the guardian of the Immortal Sect, once again summoned the elders and disciples to announce the next course of action, continuing his efforts to protect the Immortal Sect and the world of immortal cultivation.

In this battle between good and evil, new challenges and conspiracies are quietly brewing. It is still unknown who will gain the upper hand in the next battle.
